Mother nature has done it again. She just refuses to go along with the arrogance and hubris of the climate sceance community - aka funding-beneficiaries.
In so-called climate science global warming/climate change will mean more extreme weather. Worse storms etc
2014
Days with more tornadoes have become more common over the past 60 years, a trend that new research says could have a climate change connection.
Understanding the connection between climate change and tornadoes, if any, is one of the most fraught areas of research. But a study released Wednesday posits that changes in heat and moisture content in the atmosphere, brought on by a warming world, could be playing a role in making tornado outbreaks more common and severe in the U.S.

Days with more tornadoes have not become more common over the last 60 years unless you factor in the changes in reporting. Once it had to be phoned in, now we have Doppler weather radar. Another case of Apples and Pears.
Here's the data, notice the downward trend...
Climate Central are't being honest, are they! With that in mind together with the lies of the MSM, I'm guessing none of you know that, contrary to their pronouncements - global warming/climate change will mean more extreme weather - There were NO major tornadoes in the CONUS in 2018. The first time ever in recorded history - with radar.
Not a single one...
In the whirlwind that is 2018, there has been a notable lack of high-end twisters.
We’re now days away from this becoming the first year in the modern record with no violent tornadoes touching down in the United States. Violent tornadoes are the strongest on a 0 to 5 scale, or those ranked EF4 or EF5.
It was a quiet year for tornadoes overall, with below normal numbers most months. Unless you’re a storm chaser, this is not bad news. The low tornado count is undoubtedly a big part of the reason the 10 tornado deaths in 2018 are also vying to be a record low.
While we still have several days to go in 2018, and some severe weather is likely across the South to close it out, odds favor the country making it the rest of the way without a violent tornado.
If and when that happens, it will be the first time since the modern record began in 1950.
As we can see from the graph [above], this is not a one off event last year. There has been a definite trend to declining numbers of violent tornadoes. It is also significant that we have now completed five years without an EF-5 tornado. The longest such spell on record was seven years, between 2000 and 2006, but on average there are 0.8 EF-5s a year.
It also looks as if the number of EF-3 tornadoes will be a record low as well, with a provisional total of ten. The previous low was twelve in 1987.
Roger Pielke Jr has also updated his 2013 paper on tornado damage, to include data up to 2017:
His data mirrors the trends in violent tornadoes.
Final confirmation of total tornado numbers usually comes out in March, but preliminary data suggests that 2018 will be well below the 2005-15 average.

How much more wrong can they be?
