      Think we’re going to break some records and push climate models in exciting (horrifying) new directions?

        We might have exceptionally vast data centers hallucinating responses to those new directions while further warming the ocean, though! so-true

        The further we push outside of the climate envelope where all our record keeping happened, the less the models are going to predict. We’re headed for a world of weather phenomena that literally no human has ever experienced.

        I just don’t have any confidence that the mathematical models of what is possible are accurate. We should plan for worse.

    Looking at the comments (a mistake I know) and wow climate change denial is really going in an interesting direction. It’s gotten so bad that like half of them no longer deny the climate is changing, instead they claim it’s part of some globalist geoengineering conspiracy lmao

      My mother can somehow hold the thoughts that “only God can change the climate” and “Jewish HAARP lasers are being used to kill Republicans” in her head at the same time.

      You could probably turn her payche into a fusion reactor.

      It can’t be the car treats, the private jet treats, the industrialized meat treats, or the “AI” data center treats. It must be wildly waving around anything else. morshupls

      The best I could find with some research was the Dvorak Technique used to measure cyclone intensity from visible and infrared images.

      Also from Wikipedia:

      While typical mature storms have eyes that are a few dozen miles across, rapidly intensifyingstorms can develop an extremely small, clear, and circular eye, sometimes referred to as a pinhole eye. Storms with pinhole eyes are prone to large fluctuations in intensity, and provide difficulties and frustrations for forecasters.[7]

      Lastly I would guess it has to do with plain angular momentum. A cyclone that contracts will spin faster, if angular momentum is constant, in the same way that a figure skater speeds up when they tuck in their arms.

      I’m no weather expert, but because the “eye” is the “calm” part of the storm, maybe having a really small one means less calmness is in the storm. elmofire

    would be awkward if it went over the limit, then he’ll be reminded that he was wrong by 2 of 3 people 5 years later because the Twitter notification algorithm thought it was important that he sees it for some reason

    This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth’s atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.
