I think you're being a bit unfair there. Yes, the current theories are that climate warming has two effects (more intense El Ninos, warmer Atlantic) that have opposite effects on hurricanes. But we don't really (or shouldn't) use the hurricane statistics to decide whether the predicted climate warming is happening; we measure the temperature and see that it is.
That being said, it's clear that "Inside Cimate News" is dedicated to telling you everything bad that could possibly result from climate change so as to motivate its readers to take political action to try to reduce CO2 emissions. For that matter, Ars is doing about the same -- If climate change increases the incidence of hangnail, Ars will surely tell us that, whereas if it somehow brought eternal life, it wouldn't.
