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.


I said there is a strong possibility it could be linked to global warming.

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.


Good. Then you know that the bigger and more severe storms we are experiencing could be caused by global warming.

Study up on chaos theory.
