Bjorn Lomborg on Gore: ‘You can’t make this up. Gore is sad science can’t tie tornadoes to global warming. But facts point the other way’
Lomborg: 'The number of strong to violent tornados has been declining since we started measuring in 1954. The UN doesn't even want to say which way the future could go: 'There is low confidence in projections of small-scale phenomena such as tornadoes because competing physical processes may affect future trends and because climate models do not simulate such phenomena.' Yet, Gore is really only interested in saying climate change is making tornadoes stronger, and apparently he is annoyed that science won't let him do that...I understand that it would be politically expedient to be able to link tornadoes and climate, but surely it is more important for politics to get the link right? And as of now, there seems to be fewer, not more, strong tornadoes.'
