Tornadoes are rated on a scale from EF-0 to EF-5, with 5 being the strongest with winds of over 200 mph and "incredible," damage, according to to the National Weather Service.

In order to be classified as a "violent tornado," the ranking must be an EF-4 with winds between 166 and 200 mph, or an EF-5.

No violent tornadoes ended up touching down in 2018, which made it the first since modern record-keeping began in 1950 that no violent twisters were reported, according to FOX23.

The Washington Post noted that it was a quiet year for tornados overall

That’s one thing we often overlook. Even assuming significant global warming is occurring, and assuming human activity substantially contributed to it, doesn’t the global warming also have to prove that its actually harmful? There’s plenty of evidence that warming would be beneficial in the aggregate.

~~~

Which will get completely ignored by the selective-story MSM.

But next year, when there is damage form a tornado to plaster all over people’s television screens, they will scream that the sky is falling and suddenly CO2 is to blame for it.

Obviously caused by “climate change.” When there are lot of tornadoes, that too is caused by “climate change.”

(Climate change, if it exists, is an effect, not a cause. It couldn’t cause anything.)

Precisely what my liberal California niece said yesterday.........no violent tornadoes is just another indication of global warning. The same thing she says when there is bitterly cold temperatures, and large amounts of snowfall.

Remind your niece that climate scientists predicted more and more deadly tornadoes. This completely falsifies that prediction.

The problem is these liberal nieces vote. I was listening to drive time sports radio this morning. The guy was talking about how he had gone into some coffee shop and listening to two young women stating how great it was that they had paper straws. That they would not use plastic straws. That they would not buy their coffee at a place that HAD PLASTIC STRAWS. The DJ was making fun of them. However, these moronic young women vote and spend their money at places that cater to these ideals.

There will be a violent tornado in 2019. This dramatic increase from 0 to 1 is mathematically off the scale.

And it is all the fault of Trump and his rejection of the Paris accords, that we know the French really love and are causing no problems in France.
