Here’s a sign of where we’re at with the whole climate change thing: Scientists are calling for a new categorization in order to accurately describe just how powerful and destructive hurricanes are becoming. According to a report from USA Today, scientists are playing around with the possibility of introducing a new level to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which is the system we currently use to rate hurricanes on a scale of one through five.
But now, scientists are toying with adding a Category Six, which would be reserved for so-called super hurricanes that have wind speeds that exceed the highest level of the current scale, which is Category Five.
