Does Human Activity Create Super Hurricanes?

Have we contributed to the strength and frequency of monster storms like Harvey and Irma?

As I watched, I saw a solitary eagle flying though the heavens crying loudly, "Woe, woe, woe to the people of earth because of the terrible things that will soon happen."
- Revelation 8:13a (Living Bible)

The common consensus of U.S. organizations like the Audubon Society, the National Geographic Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Chemical Society, the American Medical Association, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, the American Physical Society, the Geological Society of America, and the Union of Concerned Scientists is something like the following: 

1. Our use of massive amounts of carbon fuels is constantly adding megatons of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
2. That creates a greenhouse effect that adds to global warming of our land and oceans.
3. This warming results in the loss of massive chunks of arctic ice and adds to sea level rise.
4. Warmer oceans provide the extra fuel needed for more tropical storms and an increase in their velocity.

Here is an additional sample of scientific groups worldwide that support these findings:

United Nations IPCC
NOAA
U.S. National Academy of Sciences
NASA
EPA
American Geophysical Union
National Center for Atmospheric Research
Royal Society of the United Kingdom
Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society
Science Council of Japan
Russian Academy of Science
Brazilian Academy of Sciences
Royal Society of Canada
Chinese Academy of Sciences
French Academy of Sciences
German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina
Indian National Science Academy
Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy)
Royal Society (UK) 
Australian Academy of Sciences
Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts
Brazilian Academy of Sciences
Royal Society of Canada
Caribbean Academy of Sciences
Chinese Academy of Sciences
French Academy of Sciences
German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina
Indian National Science Academy
Indonesian Academy of Sciences
Royal Irish Academy
Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy)
Academy of Sciences Malaysia
Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, etc., etc.

Are all these just a part of a vast, worldwide conspiracy designed to deceive us into allocating more money for science? Or do we begin to seriously change our ways?
