By now we're familiar with some of the scarier potential impacts of climate change: Floods, fires, stronger hurricanes, violent conflicts. Well, here's a new one to add to your nightmares. Lightning strikes in the continental United States will increase roughly 12 percent for every degree Celsius of global warming, a study published today in Science finds. If warming continues unchecked, that could translate into a 50 percent increase in lightning by the end of the century—three strikes then for every two strikes now. (On average, there are currently about 25 million strikes per year.)

and Goats are getting smaller because of Global Warming ,LOL
Only government expansion can save us.
Could. Might. Potentially...
Do even they really believe this shiat when they print it?
>Lightning strikes in the continental United States will increase roughly 12 percent for every degree Celsius of global warming
So, if last summer was any indication, we’ll have a 20% reduction in lightning?
Anything different in weather is climate change or globull warming.
OK. Harness the electricity then. That and the power generated by the Northern Lights.
I saw one globull warming scare article that stated that poison ivy would grow faster with a rise in CO2 levels. No mention that food producing plants would grow faster, too.
They believe it all the way to the bank. You know, where they exchange bit coins for algore carbon guilt credits.

Warmer climates will cause changes in the movement of air, and also mean more lightning strikes - but if I remember my High School biology, isnt lightning strikes the main way nitrates are formed in soil?
Why, for once, can’t it be more bbq ribs?
given the usual accuracy of these clowns, the translation is significantly more likely that we will see 25% LESS lightning strikes in the future.
We used to have lots of lightening and thunderstorms in California. We’ve had much less in the last 15 years. So does having less now mean we might have more? Or more than we’ve had over the last 15 years which has been almost zero? Or will the lightening storms we used to have come back and that means Global Warming is causing them to return to normal? It’s so hard to understand with these folks. Meanwhile Gore has moved close to the Pacific Ocean in the Santa Barbara area in preparation of rising oceans..........
Yes. You know why? Because they’re stupid.
Hey, c’mon it’s Mother Jones !!!
Believe it!
Yes, /s
2014 was one of the least active hurricane season in recent history.
And more chocolate milk too...
