Extended hurricane category scale, following Wehner&Kossin, Proceedings of the National Academy 2024: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna… If that scale didn't stop at Category 5 for historic reasons, we would have had several Category 6 tropical cyclones since year 2000.

This clearly shows that more powerful storms are increasing with Anthropogenic Rapid Global Warming. Clearly.

The last science I read on increased frequency and strength of weather events stated quite categorically that was NOT so. This graph is not science

Category 6, really? That's nature's alarm bell ringing for climate action! Let's gear up with renewable energy solutions before we face even bigger storms.
