Hmm... The data I saw from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (chart below) seems to say otherwise - but I trust both organizations, so I might have misinterpreted. Thanks for the correction, and apologies if I misspoke in my post.

I'm pretty sure both organizations agree manmade climate change is real and increasing more and more rapidly.

P.S. Here's what PolitiFact says about the meme.

https://www.politifact.com/factchec...s-say-climate-change-can-make-hurricanes-mor/

Experts do not blame climate change for causing hurricanes, though they say it’s a possible cause of making them more intense.
The post also misstates the number of hurricanes in Florida since 1850. It has had 140.
We rate the post False.
