One of the issues skeptics have with the idea of increasing hurricane intensity is the short-term and possibly skewed data set that researchers have to work with. Serious weather monitoring wasn't possible until the 1970s when satellites were able to provide planet-wide surveillance of storm systems, and even then, measuring methodologies have improved mightily in recent years. Critics contend the real issue could simply be increased observation and exaggeration of weather patterns, rather than new developments concerning their rate of occurrence.
