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.

    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.
