Original Note:
The press is not saying that hurricanes are caused by climate change. "The most recent one", as with all others, formed due to multiple weather-related factors. However, climate change increases the likelihood of rapid intensification, which is what happened with Idalia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/29/idalia-rapid-intensification-hurricanes-climate/ https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2019/07/how-climate-change-is-making-hurricanes-more-dangerous/
