Contrary to your comment, the link that you cite supports the points I made in my letter.  It says, "We also conclude that it is likely that climate warming will cause hurricanes in the coming century to be more intense globally and to have higher rainfall rates than present-day hurricanes."  It also says, "Sea level rise must also be considered as a way in which human-caused climate change can impact Atlantic hurricane climate–or at least the impacts of the hurricanes at the coast. The vulnerability of coastal regions to storm-surge flooding is expected to increase with future sea-level rise and coastal development."

I did not mention frequency of hurricanes in my letter, which is the focus of the article that you cite.   The article says that a connection between warming and frequency of hurricanes is not established.

Must I conclude that either you did not read the letter, or did not read the NOAA article, or perhaps prefer to throw sand in the eyes of your readers?
