What are my conclusions, Tim? Please tell me. That we have been having an unusual amount of tornadoes and of very powerful tornadoes, and that this is a trend not just a blip of fluctuation, and that its due to global warming caused by anthropogenic CO2. Do you understand that global warming is not just about the planet getting warmer? Depends on what you mean by that. Global warming is about the world getting warmer, but changes in temperature also have other effects. Those effects can be hard to predict in advance, or even to be sure about after the fact (you can know what happened but not necessarily the reason), but that doesn't mean they are not real. That global warming will lead to bigger and more severe storms? If the globe does warm significantly, it might lead to bigger and more severe storms, depending on the amount and distribution of the warming and on other factors.

I don't think American conservatives really understand what global warming is. I think I do. Whatever happens, its claimed to be due to AGW and we'd better fix it or we're in big trouble. If it snows, thats caused by global warming. If it rains, thats caused by global warming. If it doesn't snow or rain, thats caused by global warming. If its hot, its caused by global warming, but if its cold thats caused by global warming too. "Reality" based idiots like Joy Behar and Rosie O'Donnell and Danny Glover have blamed earthquakes and tsunamis on global warming.
