Original Note:
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the wind speed reaches 74mph. Since, as you state, climate change is increasing wind speed, there are tropical storms that become hurricanes that otherwise would not. So yes, there are more hurricanes. https://cnrse.cnic.navy.mil/Installations/NS-Mayport/About/Hurricane-Information/Terms/National-Weather-Service-Definitions/#:~:text=Tropical%20Storm%3A%20A%20low%20pressure,is%20classified%20as%20a%20hurricane.
