Climate Experts Vahrenholt And Lüning Call Recent Tornado Activity ‘The Great Tornado Doldrums’
'Statistically evaluated tornado frequencies since 1954. The year 2013 ranks near the bottom. More than three quarters of all years saw more tornado activity than 2013. -- In 2012 tornadoes were relatively rare, as no year saw fewer tornadoes than 2012 since tornado recording began in 1954. 2012 was the absolute low-point of the officially recorded tornado development of the past 60 years...Even though the average global temperature has risen half of a degree Celsius over the last 40 years, tornadoes have not become more frequent. Rather the contrary has occurred; they have decreased somewhat.'
Dr. Sebastian Lüning is a geologist and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt is a chemist. Together they authored the climate science critical book “Die kalte Sonne”, which reached No. 1 on the Spiegel bestseller list for non-fiction in 2012.
