Globally, climate change is decreasing the number of tropical cyclones (hurricanes), new research finds. Climate models (simulations) have predicted this change for years.
The story is a little more complicated with North Atlantic hurricanes, though. Scientists have observed increased activity over the past few decades. Natural climate changes play a role, but emerging research shows human actions might too.
