While the timing of this trend lines up with the planet’s rising temperatures, scientists are hesitant to definitively attribute tornadoes’ clustering behavior to human-caused climate change.
“The link between climate change and tornadoes is still pretty tenuous,” Dr. Fricker said. “It’s a really open and difficult question for us.” One difficulty is that tornadoes are too small on a planetary scale, and too ephemeral, to show up in the global mathematical models that scientists use to study climate change.
Yes, but it’s not at all obvious why that set of things would change the temporal distribution of tornado formation in this way without increasing their quantity.
I really don’t get why you argue with every comment on the articles you post, this is at least the third time you’ve gone out of the way to discourage a comment I’ve tried to make, in communities that could really use the engagement.
The article is paywalled and you quoted that block about the tenuous link directly, seeming to imply it was meaningful or warranting discussion.
