Hurricane season: A record number of hurricanes named the Atlantic

U.S.  The National Hurricane Center says the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic hurricane season this year has broken down.


  In the North-East Atlantic, subtropical storm Theta is at 29, breaking the previous record of 28 set in 2005.


  



  Climate change is being blamed by many scientists for the increasing intensity of hurricanes.


  Particularly dangerous storms are named to bring awareness before a strike.


  Why are hurricanes named?

  Hurricanes: A Guide to the World's Worst Hurricanes

  'Better warning system' required for extreme weather

  The hurricane season, which runs from June to November, has produced many powerful storms, including Eta, which wreaked havoc in Florida over the weekend, killing dozens of people in parts of Central America.


  Zeta beat Louisiana in late October, becoming the fifth-named hurricane to land in the state this season.


Theta, not currently a hurricane, is moving north-east toward southern Europe.


  Forecasters are watching the formation of another potential storm moving westward towards the Central Caribbean Sea.


  This season is also the first since 2005, during which the name has been dropped due to the number of 21 alphabet storms determined by the World Meteorological Logical Organization (WMO).  The WMO began using Greek names in September.


  Hurricanes say hurricanes are becoming more powerful as the oceans heat up and the hurricanes get energy release.


  Scientists also warn that the number of most hurricanes is three times higher than a century ago.


  Warming makes large hurricanes more damaging

  Meanwhile, tropical storms Atau and Vamko could cause further damage to the already hurricane-hit parts of Vietnam and the Philippines.

  McDonald's said it would offer plant-based burgers, chicken substitutes and sandwiches for breakfast.


  Barclays Bank predicts that consumption of meat alternatives could reach 140 billion (6 106bn) by 2029.


  

  However, Beyond Meat stocks fell after McDonald's announcement as it was not clear who would supply the fast-food chain with the meat option.

  "We're excited for the opportunity because we believe we have a proven, tasty-tasting product," said Ian Borden, head of international operations at McDonald's.


  


  Plant-based burgers have already been introduced at other fast-food outlets, including Burger King, White Castle and Dunkin Brands Group.

McDonald's still relies on its big products, "Big Mac", "McNuggets" and French fries, which account for about 70% of its sales in key markets.


The company, which reported market-pitting profits in its third quarter on Monday, declined to say which supplier it would use for its line of MacPlant products.


  Meat further states that it is still contained in it.


  Beyond Meat, McDonald's has co-designed a plant-based patio that will be available as part of their MacPlant platform, the company said.

Domino's pizza Update for you .

Domino's Pizza has dropped a promotion offering free pizza to a woman named Karen after receiving a response.   In recent years, the name "Karen" has been used as an insult to white middle-aged women who are considered abusive or racist.   The New Zealand arm of the pizza franchise initially said it wanted to take a break from the negativity of "nice carnations".   But some said he is tone-deaf, ignoring more important issues and "gaining privileges."   What was the offer?   The pizza chain's Australian, Australian and New Zealand pages were titled "King Ling All (Karens)".   It asked people named Karen to tell Domino’s in 250 words how they are one of the “nice people”.   "The name 'Karen' has become synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and chooses to complain," said Lon Collins, Domino's chief marketing officer in the field.   “It was a light-hearted souvenir, it really became an insu...
