German IPCC Scientist: “Although There Are No Data To Show It…Frequency Of Tornadoes Will Be Higher”!
How Latif comes up with the idea that we should expect more tornadoes as warming and CO2 increases is a mystery to me.

Then again in the year 2000 (April 1st) Latif made the notorious prediction that snow and hard frosts would become rare in Germany in the wintertime. The exact opposite has happened. In fact, snow is the forecast for parts of Germany today, and it’s May 22!

Why can’t these people just be honest for once, and skip the constant BS. These people need to be fired.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Set A 2nd Daily Record in a row on May 21 | sunshine hours
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent set a 2nd daily record in a row on May 22 (day 141 of 2013).
That is the 10th daily record for the year.
NOAA : Thirty Deadliest Tornado Years All Occurred Below 350 PPM | Real Science
Hansen says that we have to get CO2 below 350 PPM to be safe.

The data says the exact opposite. According to NOAA, the thirty deadliest tornado years from 1875 to 2008 all occurred below 350 PPM CO2.
THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Why warming reduces the occurrence and intensity of tornadoes
In a post today by Andy Revkin, Dr. Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory points out that "There are more F1+ tornadoes in warm winter months and fewer in warm summer months." and that "there are ~20% fewer tornadoes in the collection of warm months." Dr. Brooks also notes, "Probability of occurrence is mostly driven by wind shear and intensity is almost completely independent of the thermodynamics. The observations are clear on that. As a result, expected changes in occurrence and intensity would be driven by wind shear changes" and that 2/3 of the models indicate "a decrease in [wind] shear over the US."

Back in 2009, Chu said “Wake up,” America, “we’re looking at a scenario where there’s no more agriculture in California.”
