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.

    Is it true that Jeff makes you put on an Amazon vest and call him “Daddy” while he’s plowing your ass?

      Yes, that makes sense. Because I think billionaires are a global threat, I must worship Jeff Bezos.

      Logic.

        I didn’t insinuate that you worship Jeff Bezos. I insinuated that you call him Daddy while he rails you.

        I figure if you’re going to present bald-faced lies about my position, turnabout is fair play.

        If Jeff Bezos wants to be richer than some nations, we can treat him like the autocratic ruler of a nation. When an autocratic nation brings harm to Americans, we do something about it.
