Also, climate change isn't a conspiracy theory. That's a real measurable event. The average temperature of the Gulf of Mexico has risen in temperature by close to half a degree since 1970.
Half a degree may not seem like much, but when you consider all hurricanes that pass through the gulf, all of them could be anywhere from 1% stronger with a half knot increase in windspeed, to 3% stronger with as much as 1-2 knots faster windspeed. Of course, the theory of hurricanes being stronger isn't actually provable, since hurricane wind speed is measured on a scale with increments of 5 knots, so if the gulf is producing more powerful hurricanes, we literally can't tell, but it's still a scientific theory and it's as close to fact as you can get.
