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.

I would imagine those that lost home literally saw the sky and it wasn’t pleasant.>>>>>
I am sure it wasn’t pleasant. Nopne of it is when there is a tornado. but if you dwell on this earth, you are succeptable to weather events and tectonic events.
Do you have a storm shelter ? A generator? Preserved food? A chaim saw? A water pump?
We can be ready. But why shlud we hand over our frredoms to allegedly engage in the folly that man can change weather? We just are not transformers yet.
Nope. I am smack dab in the middle of Florida. We’ve had our share of hurricanes.
