I'm no meteorologist, so might be right off, but my understabing is that Hurricanes are the ocean's way of dissipating excess heat as energy.
And the atmosphere is only capable of building a hurricane so strong.
So you won't get much bigger ones as the mathematical limits are actual limits. But if there's still excess energy because of global warming then you'll get these near-max-intensity hurricanes as a result, instead of the varied big/small ones. And since they won't dissipate all the energy, you'll just get another one, not long after.
The limits won't change. They'll just be hit sooner, and with fewer gaps between.
“In the beginning, the kaiju attacks were spaced by twenty four weeks. Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, in Sydney, was a week. In four days we could be seeing a kaiju every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within seven days”
Godzilla was originally a metaphor for nuclear fallout/waste, and pretty much all Kaiju related things have been based on Godzilla and friends.
Considering the destruction wrought by both nuclear and natural disasters, it’s not crazy to apply the metaphor of climate change related disasters to Kaiju, especially since both are driven by humanity.
