Climate Change Could Have More Fuel to Tornadoes

Tornaders are one of the extreme events where we have the least confidence in our ability to attribute or understand the pact of climate change on specific events. There is not much evidence to date that the number of strong tornadoes is different to day than it was over much of the past century. Other types of ex weather such as tornadoes, hail and thunderstorms, are also exhibiting changes that may be related to climate change. But scientific understanding is not yet detailed enough to confidently project the direction and magnitude of future change.
