Was Global Warming Behind 2005 Hurricanes?

At the American Meteorological Society's 27th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology, scientists "seem to agree that a warming trend in the tropics is causing more and stronger hurricanes than usual." Some scientists believe that "what we are seeing now is linked directly to greenhouse gases...the atmospheric results were affecting the storm numbers and intensities." Not all agree that global warming is to blame. Other scientists say that "changing wind and temperature conditions in the tropics are due to natural events" instead of greenhouse gas effects.
