Why so many tornadoes this year? It's not what AOC, Bernie Sanders (or maybe even you) think
Fox News ^ | Fox News | Roy Spencer

Progressive politicians like Al Gore, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D.N.Y., don’t hesitate to blame any kind of severe weather – even if it is decreasing over time – on global warming.

With the devastating Dayton, Ohio tornadoes fresh on our minds, it is useful to examine exactly why (modest) global warming has produced fewer – not more – of such events.

The simple answer is that tornado formation requires unusually cool air.

Very few thunderstorms produce tornadoes. In the hot and humid tropics, they are virtually unheard of. The reason why is that (unlike hurricanes) tornadoes require strong wind shear, which means wind speed increasing and changing direction with height in the lower atmosphere.

These conditions exist only when a cool air mass collides with a warm air mass. And the perfect conditions for this have existed this year as winter has refused to lose its grip on the western United States. So far for the month of May 2019, the average temperature across the U.S. is close to 2 degrees Fahrenheit below normal.

Every year, springtime thunderstorms in Central and Southeast U.S. have plenty of warm, moist air to draw on from the Gulf of Mexico. What they generally don’t have is a persistent cold air mass producing strong wind shear at the boundary between a warm and cold air mass.

In other years, how many tornadoes/waterspouts happen in the middle of the ocean and never get seen or reported?......................

It used to be called a 'persistent weather pattern'.

20 years ago or so we had dark grey clouds that lasted over a month in early spring. Satellite images showed the ban sitting in place for the month.

I remember the moment when sunshine broke through.

Whatever the pattern is this year next year it will be different.

The alarmist claims of AOC, Gore, and Sanders are not just speculative; they opposed by our observations and by meteorological theory.

We don't need no steenkin observations or theories

The comments on the Fox site are cringe worthy. The children and others who write them are ignorant, misguided, brain washed or brain dead. You can’t reason with that or even fight it.

Tornadoes come from COLD AIR

Why so many tornadoes this year?>>>>>>>>>>

Millions of dollars have been used up by politicized climatologists who earn their living be issung propaganda whcih is essentially a “Chicken Little” science....dedicated to creating panic and totalitarian government control over the lives of a free people in America.

THE SKY IS FALLING! Thats why we have so many tornadoes now. Ask anyone. ( Heavy Sarc.)

But really. They loved all these storms and wind during the age of sail, they could cross oceans in jig time.Now modern man cowers before nature instead of harnessing her? It is to laugh. You gotta love wind shear.

The punch line Right here.

“So far for the month of May 2019, the average temperature across the U.S. is close to 2 degrees Fahrenheit below normal. “

Take your global warming and stick it where the sun don’t shine, Captain Ahab!

I would imagine those that lost home literally saw the sky and it wasn’t pleasant.

Could it be because the Sun has gone to sleep?

Global cooling, (mander minimum), causes tornadoes apparently.

I was living in Minneapolis in the mid 1990’s and recall a local radio station running a contest where winners were taken aboard a chartered Northwest Airlines jet for a “see the sun” flight above the clouds.

The 3600 year signature cycle

The 3600 signature cycle continues to unfold. Such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, bugs and pests as well as crazy unseasonable weather patterns. And the chances for humans to stop or avert any of this are pretty slim to none as this appears to be a re-occurring natural event or cycle. And even if all the politicians stand on their heads, as well as throwing money at what is conceived erroneously as a problem created by humans, what it is not, it would not change a thing.

Just take the ever increasing number of earthquakes worldwide, which are part of this repetitive cycle, even in the wildest imagination it would be difficult to make a correlation between it and anything related to global warming. At least for now and until the general public becomes knowledgably enough and realizes what the real causes are behind some of these events, ignorant politicians will milk these perceived causes for climate change or global warming for all its worth, in order to extract more taxes from the general public under the guise to fight man made global warming or climate change. Humans could not do anything about it one way or another even if they tried.

More signs and events of things to come are part of the 3600 signature cycle as it is unfolding world wide. About 3600 plus or minus years ago similar events gave the then ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose an Excedrin headache and just about drove him bananas, better known as the TEN PLAGUES, eventually resulting in the release or expulsion of the Israelis from bondage as they, or good old MOSES used these events to their advantage by threatening that there would be more to come unless they would be released.

This event went down in history as the Biblical EXODUS. The catch is that these events were not just limited to ancient Egypt at the time, as we scan ancient, available and somewhat scarce records from this period we will find that ancient China was plagued with very similar events and disasters.

On top of it we are also entering another Grand Minimum Solar (GMS) cycle what may compound some of these strange events, and I would not be surprised if this 3600 signature cycle also has a bearing on the GMS, but that is just my thought. Why do I think so? Because some of these strange weather patterns along with increased earthquake activities started to emerge much earlier than the recent GMS cycle.

Just for interest sake about the same time 1500 BC or approximately close to 3600 years ago,1500 BC + 2018 AD= 3518 approx.the time of the EXODUS the volcano located on the island of Thera located in the Mediterranean blew up with the estimated force of about 40 (forty) nuclear bombs, permanently re-arranging the Mediterranean, forming the Santorini Archipelago. At the time turning days into night, also affecting Egypt with pumice from the eruption found there as well.

So far being located in the upper Midwest, overall we have remained pretty well unscathed aside from some flooding here and there. Let’s hope it remains this way.

For someone who never heard of this it may elicit a smile, on the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns worldwide. All this just doesn’t happen without a reason and global warming supposedly caused by humans is positively not one of them.

Isn’t 1000+ per year average?

Does modern weather satellite technology detect them? If so, you'd think that the "Ahhh- Global Warming! We're all gonna DIE!" pseudo-scientists would be reporting on their numbers and frequency.

Also keep in mind, the increasing movement of the magnetic poles. This affects the magnetosphere which interacts with solar winds, indirectly affecting weather, earthquakes, etc. Man has nothing to do with this.

Every 400,000 years on average sees the magnetic poles flip, and it's been almost 700,000 years since the last magnetic flip. Nothing to worry about now, as it might be 1000 years or 100,000 years before it happens again. But when it does, no protection from solar winds for a short while. That will create real crazy weather.

Rush Limbaugh read this on air a couple of days ago (or yesterday).
