Hurricanes are essentially a phenomena of temperature differential (warm water mixed with atmospheric disturbance evaporates rapidly cools and forms convection circuits) . The warmer the water and surface temp the more potential energy in the hurricane (there's also issues about the increased amount of moisture the hurricane can carry). As the sea's become more laden with CO2 they can absorb more heat and the surface temps become higher. This doesn't necessarily mean more hurricanes or even individual hurricanes being stronger there's just a lot more potential devastating hurricane either terms of potential energy or the amount of moisture they'll dump.
