Hurricanes are becoming so strong due to the climate crisis that the classification of them should be expanded to include a “category 6” storm, furthering the scale from the standard 1 to 5, according to a new study.<br />
<br />
Over the past decade, five storms would have been classed at this new category 6 strength, researchers said, which would include all hurricanes with sustained winds of 192mph or more. Such mega-hurricanes are becoming more likely due to global heating, studies have found, due to…
Hurricanes are becoming so strong due to the climate crisis that the classification of them should be expanded to include a “category 6” storm, furthering the scale from the standard 1 to 5, according to a new study.<br />

Over the past decade, five storms would have been classed at this new category 6 strength, researchers said, which would include all hurricanes with sustained winds of 192mph or more. Such mega-hurricanes are becoming more likely due to global heating, studies have found, due to the warming of the oceans and atmosphere.<br />

<p><strong>NO this is not a copy cat of BBC's Planet Earth</strong>. This is a scientific program from years of</p>
<p>collecting data from satellites and researchers put their findings all together. You'd be amazed</p>
<p>how much detective work goes into it, such as how 1/5 of the planet's oxygen is seemingly</p>
<p>trapped in the Amazon forest, but travels out via method of rich sentiments dumped into the</p>
<p>ocean and then allowing plankton to regenerate the o2. Just watched 2 hours of this on PBS,</p>
<p>and thinking, if every nookie of earth still remains to be discovered, man's thirst and quest for</p>
<p>knowledge just never ends. You can view this program on PBS website before deciding if to buy.</p>
