Global warming will make severe thunderstorms and tornadoes a more common feature of U.S. weather, NASA scientists said today.
Climate models have previously shown that Earth will see more heavy rainstorms as the atmosphere warms, but a new climate model developed by NASA researchers is the first to show the difference in strength between storms that occur over land and those over the ocean and how storms strengths will change in general.
The models don't directly simulate thunderstorms and lightning, but look for conditions that are ripe for severe storms to form.
The model was tested against current climate conditions and produced well known major global storm features, including the high levels of lightning seen over Africa and the Amazon basin and the near absence of lightning in ocean storms.

Well, the Hurricane angle didn't pan out, so...
=8-0
Nah, can't be....
Hasn’t NASA already been proven to be full of brown smelly stuff on this subject?
You know that float thousands of these catastrophic predictions out there in the hopes that one will stick. Every possible change in any weather event has been predicted so that no matter what happens they can be shown to be ‘right’. So what if they miss on the other 99%, they only need to get one ‘right’ and the media will headline it.
Ignoring the self-answering part of the request, the purpose of NASA is to keep the USA pre-eminent in space. The USA is pre-eminent in space. QED
I stopped at a light yesterday and about 3 squeegie guys came out to clean my windshield. I swear they all worked at the Weather Channel’s Hurricane Center.
“No storm, no paycheck!”
I’ve said it before in jest, but now I think there might be a grain of truth in it: NASA’s James Hansen is looking for a cushy retirement on the board of one of Al Gore’s “Carbon Credit” companies.
Of the 2500 UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change “scientists” who presented their recent “consensus”, fewer than 50 had any scientific qualifications.
The report was published 17 Aug. That is hardly 'today.' They teach that 'today' thing in journalism school.
Why in the h,e, double l, do we need to have weather reports from NASA? What the heck is NASA doing that the NOAA, the National Weather Service, and every friggin local news station with a Doppler Radar station, can’t do?
If NASA says it, it must be right, comrade.
If NASA says it, it must be right, comrade.
All this money to conclude that it gets hot in the summer.
Seems NASA has too many personnel drinking alcohol wearing a wig and adult diapers and carrying a roll of duct tape.....
And next we’ll hear it’s going to be cold this winter.
I am unaware of any real scientist that would have any association with the UN.
I discussed the "revised" NASA data with a die hard democrat the other day. She wouldn't believe that NASA updated their data. Furthermore, she stated that "IF" NASA updated their data, it was because Bush told them to.
George Bush, evil overlord. BDS is real.
