You are no more “right” that either side of the argument, they do not know shit, neither do you. Best guesses is all we get today.

My best guess, the primary cause of warming, storm intensification, glaciers melting ( much faster in the northern hemisphere) the ice extent getting smaller over the North Pole each winter is megapolises, perfect heat storage areas. CO2, nah, if an effect, a thousand times smaller than heat islands. Why is Phoenix hotter longer, CO2? (Laugh out loud!). It is because it is a hundred times larger than it was and has 5 million people here now. Asphalt and concrete store heat all year here, not just in the summer.

And the vast majority of megapolises are in the Northern Hemisphere.

Here is a very useful table on Accumulated Cyclone Energy.

It shows the North Atlantic at 134 % of normal. There are also several graphics on Global Hurricane Frequency.

Also last 50-years+ of Global Tropical Storm and Hurricane frequency.

The discussion on the page is quite honest and informative.
