    The oceans are heating so fast, some scientists call for a new “Category 6” hurricane classification

    Rising ocean heat poses new threats in terms of damaging hurricanes—some scientists have called for a new “category 6” classification to be added to storms above 192mph—but also to the vast network of life, including humanity, which depends on the marine expanse that covers 70 percent of the planet.

    Oceans are soaking up vast quantities of human-created emissions and heat, which is shielding people on land from even worse temperature rises but also warping fish populations, dissolving away coral reefs and shellfish, robbing the seas of oxygen, and potentially upending foundational ocean currents.

    Obbe this is not a thing. The world goes through cycles of change. radical cold and hots and mild seasons and windy dry periods.

    sometimes they last 10,000 years straight and sometimes they happen for a century or half a century of long periods of weather change.

    next year is supposed to be La Nina and so it will be very cool or cold and maybe a long winter for the Midwest or east coast. like all the way into June like NYC had that one time
