"We've had half a degree [Celsius] of warming, so that should have led to a 2.5 percent increase [in intensity], which is probably not detectable," Emanuel said. "What we've seen is somewhat bigger than that, and we don't really know why."

Half a degree matters. It could be the half a degree that decides whether the ice in Greenland is still ice. And if it’s water...the East Coast is doomed.
That's from they article. "We don't really know why".

Humans SUCK at predicting weather with any accuracy any more than about a week out.
