Firstly the article did NOT say they they were becoming more frequent, but it does say they ARE becoming more intense and there are plenty of other references to that effect. Here's just one below. I'd would tend toward the science rather than an anonymous poster.

CNN says the opposite

And in 2024-2025 ....... longest storm less streak in 50 years

I'm not talking about the number of hurricanes, I'm talking about the intensity of them. And from the article you have just referenced:

 

'Savin Chand, a senior lecturer at the Federation University in Australia, while there may be fewer tropical cyclones in the future, it is likely they will be more intense'.

 

Which is more or less what the BBC article said.

Because it is very unlikely that this will ever affect me.

Longest storm less streak in 50 years, so the storms they aren't having are of higher intensity?

Only a lefty could say that!

Meanwhile, emissions from countries such as China, India, and those in Southeast Asia are projected to make up two-thirds of global carbon output by the end of this decade. Notably, China’s increase in emissions last year alone exceeded the entire carbon dioxide output of the UK.

This is a horrid thing, but not totally unexpected when you look at the haze over Thailand daily. these countries really need to do something or the world will be breathing from oxygen tanks in the future.
