Massive Tornado as it moves thru Tuscaloosa, Alabama |
With the latest Destructive tornado’s out of the “Dixie Alley” last night, and the number of deaths on the Rise still from it. Many are asking why are there MORE this year? Is it the end of the world? Global Warming?
The experts that are drawing conclusions about the true size of, or reason for, and increase in tornado activity say it’s difficult to say if we are having more now than before. Due to to historical statistics that are unreliable due to changes in the way storms are tracked and measured.
Scientists do believe that climate change will contribute to increasing severe weather phenomena, including hurricanes and thunderstorms, but there is little consensus about how it may effect tornadoes however. This is partly because of the lack of historical data and partly because of a tornado’s unpredictable nature.
