Tornado spike in 2011 attributed to climate change. So what to make of this year’s tornado drought?

As informed citizens, we need to be careful about conflating weather, climate change and natural disasters.

Weather (i.e. the extreme cold we’re having in Texas this spring) is weather. Climate is the measurement of long-term weather data over broad areas (i.e. global temperatures over a 50 year period). For most people, these are pretty easy distinctions to make.

Now I guess we're lamenting the lack of tornadoes? More "proof" that we need to stop driving those Ram trucks with hemis in them. Nah, gonna go for a long pleasure drive just to help keep the planet warm and stop another ice age if possible.

“It’s not global warming—it’s Climate Change.”

Just ask any greenie in sight.

Why climate change, of course, silly!

Tax the rich more, make everyone financially equal, pass any gun control laws, put Bush in prison and destroy Israel. This will stop Globull Smarming.

The chain on my toilet flusher jammed the other morning.

These nutcases would blame that on Climate Change.

They are like pit bulls: Once they get their jaws hooked on something, they won’t let go — even after it is shown to be a hoax.

Just like Dan Rather and the Kinko’s fax — nearly a decade later he is still claiming the allegations were true.

Just like Obamaniacs still claiming that the BC’s (any one of the 3 version, just pick one, any one) are true.

Truth is what they say it is. And who are you going to believe? the experts or your lying eyes and ears?

You have to understand - When it’s hot or stormy it’s “CLIMATE” when it’s cool and calm it’s weather. /s

If there are more twisters... its due to “climate change.”

If there are fewer twisters...its due to “climate change.”

If the number stays the same... its due to “climate change.”

It is irrefutable proof!!!

Adaptation is the name of the game. Lots cheaper than designing the ol’ weather machine. Not that richard branson isn’t probably working on one as we speak. There’s $$$ to be made.

The sun causes global warming, the lack of the sun causes global cooling. There’s the truth and I can prove it every DAY and NIGHT and without a government grant. People who think otherwise are IDIOTS! Now (idiots) prove me wrong..but see if you can do it without a government grant too.

Dude! You are so missing the boat. Apply for that grant and then keep records 24/7x365 and then you can pony of a graph showing the absence of sunlight causes a decline in temperature. Presence of sunlight causes an elevation in temperature. I see big bucks in your future. LOL!
