Rethinking hurricane season thanks to global warming
As Tropical Storm Wilma is gathering strength, and will probably become a hurricane soon, we realize that we have simply run out of names for these storms. From what I understand-if another storm develops this year, they will start with the Greek alphabet (Alpha, Beta, Gamma...). How boring is that? And, with global warming only beginning to be felt, it will probably soon be the norm to have 25, 26, 30 hurricanes in a year. And these hurricanes need proper names.
And, since this would be the first year-it will be SOOO easy. The storm following Wilma should be Xavier, then Yolanda, and Zachary. Then, lets just start NEXT year's names. That'll show us-especially when, in September of 2037, the gulf has been blasted by the 14th catagory 7 hurricane of the year.
Yea, we should add more catagories too-five catagories for a Hurricane is SOOO 20th century. In one hundred years when the wind speeds of these storms get to 300mph, catagory 5 won't just cover it. We'll just call it catagory: Holy Mother of Fuck!
