Tornadoes not caused by Global Warming
Timothy Birdnow
Are there more tornadoes now than in the past? Global Warming alarmists are blaming the recent spate of tornadoes on Global Warming, but can that conclusion be justified.
Nope.

According to climatologist Patrick Michaels:
"In the late 1980s we deployed the new Doppler radar, the WSD-88, which can actually track the movement of air within a storm (and therefore pinpoint a tornado vortex). Tornado numbers soared, thanks in large part to the detection of hundreds of “F0″ twisties that might knock over an untethered trailer or the sign at Bob’s Grille in Nags Head (EAT AND GET THE HELL OUT). We now average over 1000 per year, a number that has been constant since the Doppler network went national. Death frequencies dropped a bit more, but not at much as they did from the WSR-57, which picked the “low hanging fruit.” While still saving more lives, we are also detecting more weenies.
Are there really more tornadoes? If that were true, then the number of strong ones that people notice (unfortunately by hindsight) without or with radar–F3 through F5–should be going up. Obviously not":

So, this is one more lie promulgated by the Gang Green to advance their agenda. Tornadoes are caused by cold air, not warm. This years's tornadoes are a result of the large La Nina in the Pacific, spinning unusually cold air into the North American continent which is meeting the warm tropical air coming off the Gulf of Mexico. The warm air isn't more prevalant or warmer, it's the cold air that is cooler and more prevalant. If anything, the tornadoes we are seeing are evidence of Global Cooling.
And we have been in a period of unusually quiet tornadoes, for the last fifty years and actually the last seventy. Perhaps we need some global warming? It sure would have been welcome in Joplin.
But the left has their narrative, and the lapdog media follows their every lead. (They remind me of the old cartoons where the bulldog bully has his yappy-dog sidekick.) They know this will stick with a number of people, no matter how irrational it is, and so they will make ridiculous statements with a completely straight face; they don't care that they are being laughed at by those in the know, as long as they can fool some of the people some of the time.
There has been no warming of the globe since 1995; I'd like to know how a non-event can cause tornadoes.
