From this tweet. Additional, how would we know, and how would this be a stationary target given global warming or general changes?

ELI5 explanation:
Get a rubber band, pull it back. It’s stored energy. There’s a maximum energy you can store in that rubber band. When you release the band and it snaps you get that back in movement. You can’t get more energy that’s stored.
You can calculate what the (mathematical) limit is.
Warm air/water holds energy. That’s like getting a stronger rubber band. You can also calculate how much energy is stored. So there to you can get the maximum energy that can be generated from that stored energy.
Warmer air holds more moisture/energy. Warmer water holds more energy. So the warmer the planet gets, the more potential energy that can be delivered to a storm and the devastating the storms can become.
