NOAA says that global warming isn't increasing hurricane frequency

You probably haven't heard about this since it goes against the whole climate change hoax but the NOAA issued a report that says that hurricanes haven't been getting worse.

The report says that after correcting for the fact that prior to satellite based observations hurricanes were missed due to the limited coverage of ship based networks:

" there remains just a small nominally positive upward trend in tropical storm occurrence from 1878-2006. Statistical tests indicate that this trend is not significantly distinguishable from zero"

Which means that the warmists who keep claiming that there are more hurricanes due to global warming are wrong.

Here's a plot from the report:

The report states: 
"The evidence for an upward trend is even weaker if we look at U.S. landfalling hurricanes, which even show a slight negative trend beginning from 1900 or from the late 1800s (Figure 3, blue curve)."

So if you hear warmists whining about how hurricane Dorian proves that we're all going to die due to climate change you can tell them the NOAA says that they're wrong.
