Tornade Outbreak Caused by Global Warming And Global Cooling

[red states rule]

I guess blaming the weather on both global warming and global cooling the enviro wackos have all the bases covered





Earlier this week, buried in all of the hoopla over dead terrorist related news, Jeff Dunetz stumbled across one of the more amusing stories to be seen recently on a not very amusing subject. Both Time Magazine and Newsweek have apparently attributed the huge outbreak of tornadoes this Spring to global warming. That part isn’t a surprise. But the publications have something else in common. As Jeff explains, there was a time when they blamed similar outbreaks on something slightly different. (Original link from Thomas Nelson.)


Inevitably the devastating tornadoes that killed more than 300 people in the US prompted Newsweek to ask: “Is global warming responsible for wild weather?” The answer, it found, is “yes”.

Another Newsweek article cited “the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded”, killing “more than 300 people”, as among “the ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically”. But that article was published on April 28, 1975, when Newsweek listed the US tornado disaster of 1974 as one of the harbingers of disastrous global cooling, heralding the approach of a new ice age.

From there we move to the pages of the other well known periodical.
But on the other side of NY City, lives the dean of newsweeklies, Time who has has been owned by the same company since it began publishing almost 90 years ago.

In a story about the coming ice age on June 24, 1974 the magazine reported:

Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds — the so-called circumpolar vortex—that sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world.

Yes, my friends, there will be weather and there is climate. Everything else is speculation.

I keep asking my liberal buddy how the same people who give us these doom and gloom stories, and how the ice caps will melt in 50 years - can't tell us how much snow we will get overnight or in the next 24 hours

Well the bodies of the dead in Joplin MO are not even cold yet, and they liberal media is waving the pom poms for - your guessed it - GLOBAL WARMING!





Less than 24 hours after a devastating tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri – killing at least 116 people – an MSNBC anchor was busy putting a political spin on the tragedy.

Tamron Hall wondered aloud on "News Nation" today whether climate change was to blame for the rash of hurricanes and tornadoes that ravaged several states, including Missouri, over the last few months.

"What about climate change?" speculated Hall, interviewing Dr. Howard Bluestein. "You have many people who see these severe storms, and not just the tornadoes, but the strength of hurricanes and even severe storms, we're getting hail and high winds right now from Texas, I believe, all the way through the Midwest. Is this a result of climate change or an effect of climate change?"

Bluestein, a meteorology professor at the University of Oklahoma, dismissed Hall's baseless conjecture: "I don't think we can prove whether or not the occurrence of all these bad events this year are due to global warming whatsoever. They could be simply due to natural variability."

Hall began the interview with an open-ended question about the potential causes of these severe weather events, but after Bluestein suggested "random chance" could be the culprit, the daytime anchor pressed the climate change issue.

Wait a minute here! You mean to tell me that meteorology professor from a real university did not back the MSNBC anchor????

It loks like the "expert" was not adequately pre-screened for being allowed on the air CSM

Want to bet that meteorology professor from a real university will not been seen again on any MSNBC program?

Now ABC is sprewing the global warming crap






ABC’s Diane Sawyer on Monday night presumed everyone lives inside her media bubble obsessed with “global warming” as she set out to blame the Joplin, Missouri tornadoes on it – but not even the CEO of a group dedicated to instilling public fear of “climate change” would go along with Sawyer’s fear-mongering. From Joplin, Sawyer plugged the upcoming segment:

When we come back, what do those experts say? Everyone's saying, is this it, is this global warming? Is this the evidence? Is it in? The answer.

Sawyer set up the subsequent World News story: “Is this it, this is the evidence of a kind of preview of life under global warming?” Reporter Jim Avila, who called the tornadoes “nature’s payback,” cited a thousand tornadoes and “counting so far, compared to 500 in an average year.” He turned to Heidi Cullen of Climate Central who, he relayed, says climate change “can be blamed for a general increase in extreme weather, science cannot specifically point to climate change for this hyper-deadly tornado season.”

She opined: “More extreme events like floods, more extreme events like droughts, heat waves, wildfires. Those are phenomenon that we very much expect to see more of as we move into a warmer world.”

Avila pleaded: “Still, we don't know whether or not tornados are to be lumped into that extreme weather?” Cullen: “We just don't have enough data to really make the case.”

From Manhattan, Avila, picking up a comment from a Minnesota resident, concluded: “In tornado alley, some just call it nature's payback.”

Our technology is a lot better now and our computer models are more accurate so trust me when I say we fully understand climate change now and can accurately attribute the Tornado outbreak to man made global climate change.

Now is that "climate change" global warming or global cooling?

and ABC screwed up

The good news is, maybe the anchor won't either.

Leftist organizations don't take kindly to anyone who reveals their disingenuousness to the public. Even "their own guys".

I am sure someone may not be back

Like the MSNBC employee who is to screen guests

It is fun to watch the MSNBC hosts deal with facts they want to dispute

The average for tornadoes is 500 per year. Some years are far less others are far more. About every 15 years or so there an upswing in the number of tornadoes. Every 15 years or so there is a down swing in tornadoes. It's how averages are determined.

Where they touch down needs to be taken into account as well. If there are 1000 tornadoes and only one touches down in a populated area is it still global warming?

It's all scare tactics by the media to advance their stupid socialist agenda.

Joplin, Mo., was prepared. The tornado warning system gave residents 24 minutes’ notice that a twister was bearing down on them. Doctors and nurses at St. John’s Regional Medical Center, who had practiced tornado drills for years, moved fast, getting patients away from windows, closing blinds, and activating emergency generators. And yet more than 130 people died in Joplin, including four people at St. John’s, where the tornado sucked up the roof and left the building in ruins, like much of the shattered city.

Even those who deny the existence of global climate change are having trouble dismissing the evidence of the last year. In the U.S. alone, nearly 1,000 tornadoes have ripped across the heartland, killing more than 500 people and inflicting $9 billion in damage. The Midwest suffered the wettest April in 116 years, forcing the Mississippi to flood thousands of square miles, even as drought-plagued Texas suffered the driest month in a century. Worldwide, the litany of weather’s extremes has reached biblical proportions. The 2010 heat wave in Russia killed an estimated 15,000 people. Floods in Australia and Pakistan killed 2,000 and left large swaths of each country under water. A months-long drought in China has devastated millions of acres of farmland. And the temperature keeps rising: 2010 was the hottest year on earth since weather records began.

From these and other extreme-weather events, one lesson is sinking in with terrifying certainty. The stable climate of the last 12,000 years is gone. Which means you haven’t seen anything yet. And we are not prepared.
