Sadly, we will see less and less of the National Science publications carrying articles like this as politics overwhelms the concept of scientific inquiry.

Given that the article in Science says: "We conclude that global data indicate a 30-year trend toward more frequent and intense hurricanes, corroborated by the results of the recent regional assessment (29). This trend is not inconsistent with recent climate model simulations that a doubling of CO2 may increase the frequency of the most intense cyclones (18, 30), although attribution of the 30-year trends to global warming would require a longer global data record and, especially, a deeper understanding of the role of hurricanes in the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, even in the present climate state.", I'm wondering what you mean by 'articles like this'. The article in Science concludes we see more frequent and intense hurricanes now than 30 years ago. So is your position that politics will overwhelm scientific inquiry and cover up such findings? Or did you think the rest of the article above was from Science? It's not; while I'm not commenting on the article above, it's not from a 'National Science publication (sic)'. --R.
