So the original article states that the evidence is not there for a change in the hurricane activity, but Nature says that we undercounted before, but think there's an increase that was hidden due to a lull in activity from aerosols in the 70s and 80s?

In part, yes. Have updated my earlier comment with additional research.

In short, it's complicated. And because of that complication, anyone with a vested interest or political slant can skew representation any-which-way.

However, climate disruption is driving a trend-change in mid-Atlantic hurricanes, wrong-footing the attempt by Michael Shellenberger to hint otherwise by sleight-of-hand.
