From St.Petersburg TIMES,
Storm frenzy is not an anomaly, but a phase
Atlantic current may be creating a hurricane hatchery. And the cycle may last 20 years.

Excerpt:
Back in 1995, surface waters in the north Atlantic Ocean warmed up a smidgen.
The change was less than a degree, but it marked the first time in a quarter-century that waters were consistently warmer than average.
Storm experts warned of more hurricanes.
But nobody grasped the sweeping change that Mother Nature had signaled.
The 10 years since then have been the stormiest decade in the recorded history of the Atlantic basin.
Snip:
After studying temperature records dating to 1854, two University of Illinois researchers reported in a 1994 edition of Nature that air and surface-water temperatures in the north Atlantic were cyclically rising, then falling, over 65 to 70 years.

Another Global Warming B.S. claim in the trash.It looks like it is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or AMO.That is the culprit.
The cycles have been in force for at least 500 years now and maybe a whole lot longer.
There is still a lot to learn about the Earths climate to be going stupid over a small component of it(CO2).
A few very nice charts in the link,that explains the story well.
