Climate scientists warn of an unprecedented threat to American coastal cities: the emergence of “Ultra-Intense Category 6” hurricanes. These theoretical mega-storms, with winds exceeding 192 mph and 25-foot storm surges, could reshape our understanding of extreme weather events. Over 60 international experts have concluded that fossil fuel emissions have injected enough energy into Earth’s systems to create conditions for these super-hurricanes. Their research suggests these storms could materialize by 2100, with potentially catastrophic implications for major metropolitan areas. The New York Threat Scientific models predict a particularly devastating scenario for New York City. The projected storm, theoretically named Hurricane Danielle, … Continue reading Climate Change Spurs Category 6 Hurricanes: New York’s Infrastructure at Severe Risk
