It's not the number of hurricanes, it's the intensity of them that is affected by global warming. Skim Google for info on that subject and you will see that the percentages of level 3,4 and 5 storms has been rising dramatically over the last 20 years.
As far as our ability to affect the environment, 15 years ago, people on the right ridiculed the idea than ChloroFluoroCarbons from aerosols could have any effect on the atmosphere. Then they came up with the technology to measure it and found the Ozone hole in the southern hemisphere. If you look at the rates of skin cancer in Australia you might realize how serious a problem this has become.
Or you can turn on Fox News and they will tell you that science is all just a liberal plot to hurt business.
