Global warming in the United States has been a salient topic since the Kyoto Protocol, as part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, that was established in 1992. The effects of global warming have been widely debated; however, there is evidence that suggests a slight increase in the core temperature of most states.
A study published last month in the academic journal Earth’s Future modeled the effects of warming on the creation of “convective environments” that can lead to tornadoes. The researchers ...
The U.S. has endured a wild stretch of intense winter weather lately thanks to the polar vortex. Could climate change have caused this?
New data released this week show there were potentially more tornadoes spawned in 2022 than in the previous two years with NOAA showing a preliminary number of 1,331 last year — “about 9% ...
The climate-tornado link is confounded by the forces affecting larger patterns and by the local, nuanced nature of tornadoes. Although it is reasonable to suspect that global warming may affect trends in tornado activity, [104] any such effect is not yet identifiable due to the complexity, local nature of the storms, and database quality issues ...
A 2016 Gallup poll found that 64% of Americans were worried about global warming, that 59% believed that global warming was already happening, and 65% were convinced that global warming was caused by human activities. These numbers show that awareness of global warming was increasing in the United States. [300]
The reason for the peak period for tornado formation in North America being skewed toward spring has much to do with temperature patterns in the U.S. Tornadoes often form when cool, polar air traveling southeastward from the Rocky Mountains overrides warm, moist, unstable Gulf of Mexico air in the eastern states. Tornadoes tend to be commonly ...
