If a desire for an honest representation of uncertainties is an 'agenda' then guilty as charged....
Alarmists frequently publish 'post hoc rationalization' papers designed to explain away any difference between the real world and their over heated predictions. Many are nonsense but they feed the propaganda machine.

Cyclone counts are one measure of storm activity. Another is the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) which show ZERO evidence of any trend despite the warming SST:

A quote from ACE:

According to the total annual ACE Index, cyclone intensity has risen noticeably over the past 20 years, and six of the 10 most active years since 1950 have occurred since the mid-1990s (see Figure 2). Relatively high levels of cyclone activity were also seen during the 1950s and 1960s.
