Your confidence is misplaced. For example, improving the reliability of measurement indicates storms are in fact getting stronger.

That's in terms of damage, not strength. Huge difference, depending on what we build and where. Although I'm not denying storms are getting stronger, it's slowly, just like sea level rise.
I wouldn't buy waterfront property in Florida, but mostly for the problems inherit with doing that today, not because of future climate change.
