If that data is true, the number of category 4&5 hurricanes has more then doubled in the last 30 years. I would call that a sudden increase myself.

That article was written just after Katrina's hurricane season ended, exactly when that argument was being made and it's chart ends 2 years before that.

But be that as it may, even if you are right what can be done about it? If GW is indeed human caused then it's human numbers, not human activities, that is driving it and you're never going to legislate that away.
