"Well the facts are clear: it's obviously a sign of global warming!"

It would seem that this correlates with the severe drought conditions recently. Does also correlate in previous years?
It’s been the coldest spring in my memory.
Hot weather and cold fronts make for tornadoes.
Wait until it gets hot.
File under : “Probably Shouldn’t Have Said That”
Hurricanes are also off.
Drought is gonna be a bitch.
I live in tornado alley and so far the season has been way too cold. We just had some snow the other day which just isn’t common here. It’s normally around 100 degrees by now and we’re still fighting frost and 45-50 degree temps, with very occasional near 70’s and a couple of near 80 degree days. We’ve actually been getting moisture.
If it was hotter, it would be dryer so the cool is holding some moisture. BUT, all the groceries that should be ready now, aren’t. And the wheat production is suffering every bit as badly as if the drought were baking away.
We just haven’t had the heat mixed with the coldfronts to cause the wind and clouds to whirl about.
But when it does warm up, well, it’s hard to say right now. I think tornadoes are merely delayed, but I sure hope I am very wrong!
Same here we had 5 “of snow in NW AR the other day!
But is a good thing for the people but the weather bums have no death and destruction to report on and is the real jest of the article!
I suspect once it warms up it’s still gonna be a doozy of a season. May and June can still be very active months.
This year will be an active hurricane season according to weather predictors plus Joe Bastardi who is the absolute expert. He is seldom wrong and he says there will be more than average hurricanes.
I always find what his prediction is because I’m in the path of those that come into Galveston.
Tornado season more active = proof of global warming
Tornado season less active = proof of global warming
My view about that is a little “out there”, maybe later... :’)
Remember: it’s not global warming anymore...it’s “climate change”...so if it gets warmer, it counts...and if it gets cooler, it counts. If it stays the same...then “climate change” is merely in abeyance...just metaphorically catching it’s breath...get it?
Soon, the EPA will put tornadoes on the Endangered Species List.

It’s time for Democrats to ditch Andrew Jackson
The Art of Death - The moderate Muslim majority is a myth.
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the link.
I see you are an expert on global warming!
lol
My friend Sams sight.
I think the change this year is in part due to how the jet stream is tracking this year. Many other North American air currents are affected by what the jet stream is doing.
Certainly 2011 does appear to be have been unusual year in North American tornado history, and this year appears closer to norm, so far, and there was an article last year that related jet stream behavior and its seasonal variations to the occurance of tornados.
