Simple Explanations Don’t Apply In The Complex Climate System

During weather events, how often are we confronted with the simple claim: “More heat leads to more energy available, which leads to severe storms“?
This is so catchy that it can be understood with just a basic knowledge of physics.
So is the claim: “The warmer the tropical sea the more severe tropical storms, called hurricanes over the Atlantic or typhoons over the Pacific.” is often bandied about. The storms all occur over the ocean, and record surface temperatures were reported in 2023.
The temperatures (orange) already at the start of April 2023 were well above those of a year earlier . (Image: Climate Reanalyzer).
Following this logic, the energy in storms in 2023 should also have been at a record level and there should have been more strong storms than ever before. And we did indeed see a record last year:
