The study’s authors – Jim Kossin, a distinguished science advisor at the First Street Foundation, and Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory – argue as climate change leads to soaring ocean temperatures, the potential wind intensity of hurricanes – also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons in oceans outside the Atlantic and East Pacific – is increasing.

Why stop at 6?

In fact, why not 200 or so categories where each category is a wind speed? Why the middle step?

It’s gonna be such a wonderful day when we stop climate change and eliminate category 5 & 6 hurricanes. Imagine how different Katrina would have been.

Fear porn. Also a preview to what they media will hype this summer during the drought and hurricane season. They want climate change to be a big issue in the 2024 election.

Easier than talking about the economy, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the border crisis, the opioid epidemic, inflation, the spike in violent crime, bottomless aid to Ukraine, and an endless string of gaffes.

They wanted to do this last year but the hurricane season was disappointing to their agenda.

I'm sure we won't be so lucky this year.

I want to see where our resident meteorological idiot savant* Peej falls on this issue before I take the exact opposite opinion.

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.

Let's hope they can be just as effective with climate change as the War on Drugs, Poverty and World Hunger.

Sounds like HAARP is planning on cooking up some strong storms soon.

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.
