shocking that you favour a blog that speaks to your, as you say, "agenda"! Shocking...
The actual data shows storms of clearly decreasing in frequency (we have not had a hurricane hit the US in 12 years).

notwithstanding it's a big global ocean network... more than just your focus on the Atlantic basin; see wind shear and cooler near-coastal water:

Hurricane intensification along United States coast suppressed during active hurricane periods: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v541/n7637/full/nature20783.html?foxtrotcallback=trueThe North Atlantic ocean/atmosphere environment exhibits pronounced interdecadal variability that is known to strongly modulate Atlantic hurricane activity1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Variability in sea surface temperature (SST) is correlated with hurricane variability through its relationship with the genesis and thermodynamic potential intensity of hurricanes7. Another key factor that governs the genesis and intensity of hurricanes is ambient environmental vertical wind shear8, 9, 10 (VWS). Warmer SSTs generally correlate with more frequent genesis and greater potential intensity, while VWS inhibits genesis and prevents any hurricanes that do form from reaching their potential intensity. When averaged over the main hurricane-development region in the Atlantic, SST and VWS co-vary inversely11, 12, so that the two factors act in concert to either enhance or inhibit basin-wide hurricane activity.
