Hurricanes are getting so strong in a warming world that a Category 6 intensity should be added to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind scale, a new study finds.
Why it matters: The research shows how significantly climate change is altering storm intensity and other characteristics, as well as further underscoring the limitations of the scale.
Reality check: The paper, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, does not represent an official move by the National Hurricane Center to add another hurricane category.
Not sure this counts as “Politics”. It’s more “News” or “Science” until Trump picks up a sharpie pen again. ;)
Leaving it for now, might remove later.
It references climate change as the cause. One of the most politically charged concepts around the world.
When it’s one of the core disagreements between our only 2 parties that matter, I’d call it political.
Hell, modern Republicans barely have any policy besides “nuhuh” but they still fiercely attack addressing climate change as “commie Leninist socialism.”
