"but the point is there is no strongly supported link between more tornadoes and global warming."

There you go again.

Chaos theory was created to help model weather. And it works, our models vastly improved when we started to use it. One of the predictions of chaos theory is that when a chaotic system transitions from one strange attractor to another, the system starts hitting extremes.

Now unless you take the stance that more tornadoes is not an example of more extreme weather, well...

Granted, if it was only tornadoes, it wouldn't mean much. But pretty much all weather phenomena has gotten more extreme over the past few decades. And the rate seems to be increasing. Now it is in no way a slam dunk, the only way to call it certain is after it already happens. But it sure isn't an argument against it.

"your have theory, without much concrete data backing it up."

Tim, almost all of your posts are theories without much concrete data to back it up. Try to be at least a little consistent.
