Well if these preeminent scientists say it’s so, it must be.

Yeah it really sucks. We have known for a long time this would be an issue. We refused to take action and buy Priuses and electric cars, instead driving big F-250s and Tundras and big SUVs. Now we’ll pay the price with stronger hurricanes and more expensive insurance.
Don’t forget about cow farts, am I right?
We should collectively become vegans, ban ICE vehicles and use bicycles manufactured by a diverse, equitable and all inclusive workforce for our daily commutes.
Need to ban those pesky volcanoes as well.

They will just change 5 to 6.
We will go from Cat 4 to Cat 6 on the scale.
Reason being the actual Category 6 would be too rare to be useful to them.
The Saffir-Simpson scale is logarithmic. Currently, Cat 4 is 130-156 and Cat 5 is 157+. Had you made it to third sentence in the article, you would have seen that they are proposing changing Cat 5 to 157 to 192, with Cat 6 being 193+.
I have no opinion on whether there is actually a need for this, but some of you just look for reasons to be pissy.

I'm surprised they aren't proposing a total re-scaling of the Saffir-Simpson to where a current Cat 5 is now a Cat 6. That would have allowed present day tropical storms to be categorized as Cat 1 hurricanes. More "hurricanes" legitimizes agenda.
The climate change alarmists love to move goalposts. I'm actually not triggered by the proposal. Don't like it, just not triggered.
eta: They only thing I worry about with this and climate hysteria in general is inflation of the storm's metrics. If it's reported that Hurricane X has winds of 175mph, how can that be argued against? Some baw in a Boston Whaler gonna go a hundred miles offshore and use his pocket anemometer?

Holding out for a Cat 350

BREAKING NEWS: In a day we could have avoided but will never forget we regret to bring news that, today, we will witness the world’s first ever CATEGORY 6 HURRICANE!!!
The barometric pressure is not the lowest on record nor are the wind speeds the highest on record but according to the updated ratings scale this could be the most catastrophic event in human history. We’ll be back with more after these DEI advertisements. Stay with us.

Just a reminder that nothing has really changed since 1900 regarding hurricanes despite the constant global warming fear mongering

A Wall Street Journal columnist wrote that when it comes to hurricanes, too much is made of the climate change effect.
"Atlantic hurricanes are not becoming more frequent," columnist Bjorn Lomborg wrote Sept. 3. "In fact, the frequency of hurricanes making landfall in the continental U.S. has declined slightly since 1900."
Lomborg continued.
"There aren’t more powerful hurricanes either. The frequency of Category 3 and above hurricanes making landfall since 1900 is also trending slightly down," he wrote.
Lomborg is a Danish political scientist and president of Copenhagen Consensus Center, a Danish think tank. He has long questioned conventional wisdom on climate change, and his column said improving infrastructure would do more to save lives and property than cutting carbon emissions.
The idea that the U.S. is seeing fewer hurricanes, and fewer powerful ones as well, runs counter to the thrust of many news articles. It's fair to say that hurricanes sit in one of the knottier corners of climate change where the trends and underlying forces are tough to untangle. But Lomborg overstates the data.
Downward trend vs. no trend in frequency
Lomborg cites a 2018 article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society that had a chart showing a slight decline in the yearly number of hurricanes that hit the U.S.
Chart of hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. since 1900 (© American Meteorological Society. Used with permission.)
Hurricane activity swings up and down, and the authors use a statistical device to create an overall trend line — the dotted line in the chart.
"I simply show the data of what actually has happened, as documented in the best, peer-reviewed papers, to contrast what many believe from listening to a media filled with hurricane reporting," Lomborg told us.
Lomborg’s data, though, is more ambiguous than first appears. The study’s authors note that their dotted line is not statistically significant.
One of the authors, Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist in the University of Colorado’s environmental studies program, affirmed Lomborg’s claim about a slight decline. But he also said the latest U.N. report found "no trend in the frequency of U.S. landfall events."
A finding of "no trend" is not the same as finding a downward trend.
The decrease was not meaningful, said Christopher Landsea, National Hurricane Center’s chief of Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch. Researchers in this field emphasize that looking back to 1900, there is no discernable trend, up or down.

That's nothing, just wait until Category 6 XL! It's got electrolytes!

I see they just want to add on not adjust the lowers.
But I do find this always contradictory.
lol, so how do they know?
What a huge scam this all is.

Hurricanes are becoming more dangerous. Here’s why
quote:
Over the last two-plus centuries, human activity — mainly the burning of fossil fuels – has added lots of heat to the oceans and air where these storms are spawned.
quote:
In 1961, Hurricane Esther became the first storm to be recorded by a weather satellite.
quote:
Though global temperature data goes back over 150 years, hurricane records are actually very sparse prior to the 1970s, when satellites first began capturing images of all of the world’s oceans.

Lame BS
I wonder what my Meteorologist professors would say about this????? Yeah they'd say the same, lame bs.

Lol. The hurricanes have a hard enough time getting to Cat 5 and holding it.

Ocean temperatures only do so much in terms of cyclogenesis. The upper level environment is much more impactful in terms of cyclogenesis potential.

“Potential”
We haven’t seen shite change in terms of intensity.
Stupid political bullshite.

You can go to category 100 if you move the goal post...

The fear porn is disgusting
It’s bad enough that every popcorn fart thunderstorm gets named now. The instant a rain cloud has a gust of wind or a sensitive bouy marker registers a swell, every new station in the south get to use their shiny new graphics. It is entertainment for most.

Heck, change the lower end as well. 50-75 = cat 1 etc.
That way, you'd have more hurricanes each year and your agenda would be better fit.
"We are having more hurricanes than ever"

Was there a Max for a Cat 5 or was it infinite until they feel like there needs to be a 6 for marketing purposes? Was there a number of High Cat 5's to justify it?
Posted on 2/6/24 at 8:45 am to Aubie Spr96
These people are way behind, Marucci already released the Cat X last year
