The study was carried out by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The study found that warmer temperatures associated with global warming reduce the number of hurricanes which form in the Atlantic Ocean.

The study was carried out through a simulation of warming temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean throughout the 21st century.

They found that as the warming progressed, there were 27% fewer tropical storms, and 18% fewer hurricanes.

This goes against the belief of many experts in the past which stated that the increase in the number of hurricanes was due to global warming and warmer waters.

The study was published on Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
