    So if this tornado was due to "climate change", what were these older tornadoes caused by?

    No they will increase in frequency and intensity

    You really dont understand the data you post do you. Your little graph only represents 20% of all tornadoes

    That graph shows tornadoes greater than or equal to f2/ef-2 in the month of November. If your claim is correct, I would expect to see stronger and more numerous tornadoes occurring over time, but I don't see that.

    Even though the main tornado season is in April. Good job

    Oh good grief ! Everyone is an expert weatherman, with no data, or phony cherry-picked nonsense.

    "The sky is falling.. Or it will fall !!!!!" :roll:

    So what? Would the increasing intensity and frequency of tornadoes that you claimed will happen only affect the month of April?

    You warmists just make this (*)(*)(*)(*) up as you go along.

    We may have to save up a bit for that expenditure. In the meantime, though, do you think we can afford a new bureaucracy with about 20-30 public sector union employees? Start them at 85k a year, full pensions after 20 years, 3% annual raises, you know, the usual.

    a bargain at half the price. ;)

    You're obviously aware that's a little part of what all this "global warming" hysteria is about.....

    justifying yet another absolute "need" for more and more fat staffed, democrat supporting, government union heavy agencies in which to help prop up the waning, WWII created "middle class" (via unsustainable, government administered "demand side" economics)...

    and if you'll look very closely at the blatantly over-represented "victim" classes who work in government, much of it has to do with "social justice"...specifically, "socially engineering" minorities into an artificially created middle class existence.

    We have been unsuccessful at changing weather. We can't even reliably cause rain showers yet. It's hubris to think that we can stop nature without causing a lot of other problems.

    You saw the videos. Cars and trucks flying about like toys. That's God's way of telling us that we need to get away from fossil fuel transportation. I also thought I saw some debris that could've been carbon or dirt or something. Do I have to elaborate on the meaning of THAT? Cars and trucks and fat cat oil companies and Islamaphobia created that killer tornado and now the blood of the dead is on Conservative's hands! And there's no truth to the rumor that Obama commissioned a secret project to make that storm in order to divert attention away from the three scandals.

    We obviously need a new Dept of Tornadoes!

    And if we could, we shouldn't.

    So you actually dont know what causes tornadoes do you? Odd you should argue a negative opinion against something you dont understand. Really doesn't surprise me given the lack of quality in any of your other posts here

    Your dodge is noted. Really doesn't surprise me given the lack of quality in any of your other posts here. Apparently you are comfortable with simply making arguments (without ever substantiating them), and then simply dancing around contradictory information that conflicts with your arguments. Typical progressive.

    I would have to agree with you - The first thing that comes to mind your state would become hurricane central

    Tornadoes don't gradually build up that way. They pretty much spin up in a few minutes. Also, how are you going to deliver the bombs? Tornadoes are produced by large thunderstorms. It's not safe to fly in them.

    Your heart is in the right place, but you don't have much common sense. Think through things before posting.

    Tornadoes existed before global warming.

    1. Recent research indicates that in order to form, a tornado needs both a cold, rainy downdraft and a warm updraft. To stop a tornado from forming, just heat this cold downdraft until it's cold no longer. And how would one do this, you ask? Simple: Blast it with beams of microwaves from a fleet of satellites. The satellites would collect solar energy, transform it into microwaves, and send a beam down to Earth. The beams would be focused on cold downdrafts, heating them like last night's leftovers. The European Space Agency has funded initial studies on building this type of satellite, though it hopes to use the satellites as high-altitude solar-power stations, not as weather modifiers.

    Sure feel free to think that. But debating tornadoes in November is like debating snow fall levels in July. But that is your usual MO choose something that has nothing to do with the actual topic and make a stand over it. But next time I bump into one of the research teams that scower my state in April and May I will let them know Breweskier said to go home and come back in November when the figures really matter

    People in the Midwest need to start living in underground hobbit holes. They're cozy, cute and safe from tornados and evil wizards.

    Again, feel free to point to something that states that your "zOMG global warming cau$es da tornadoez!!1!1!" rule only applies to the months of April (and now May). If global warming really was making these tornadoes more frequent and more severe, why would that only apply to certain months of the year? Isn't climate a prolonged period of time that extends past a couple of months?
