Scientists proposed adding a Category 6 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to describe stronger hurricanes linked to global warming.
Increasing ocean temperatures contribute to ever more intense hurricanes, climate scientists Michael Wehner and James Kossin wondered whether the open-ended Category 5 is sufficient to communicate the risk of hurricane damage.
Stronger and more destructive hurricanes fueled by climate change may require a rethinking of how storms are classified, according to a new study that suggests adding a Category 6 for ranking them to better convey damaging wind speeds.
Heat trapped by fossil fuel emissions is making Earth's atmosphere 'huff and puff' with increasing fury.
