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.

They do move in herds!
My state of Ohio, as of April 22nd, has had 35 confirmed tornadoes (and I know there are quite a few still to be officially added). The average for the ENTIRE YEAR is 22. We had 57 last year. Something is not OK…
Guys I’m starting to think this climate change thing might be bad
Now now let’s not rush to conclusions here.
We’ll give it another 20 years of doing the same old same and see where we are then, alright?
Now, let’s all get in my F350 and drive into town for some ice cream!
Hell no! We all got our own! Let’s race! Last one there has tiny feet!
It’s because of Woke, of course.
Got like 4 tornados within an hour of each other last night in Huntsville.
Certainly not loving it.
I think it’s because we just don’t burn enough clean coal.
I’ve lived in the same part of Ohio my entire life (I’m 28) and in the entire time I’ve lived here we had exactly 1 tornado touch down in the county. Within the past two years alone we’ve had at least 4 in the state and two of which I ended up driving through by accident.
We’re all so fucked it’s unreal.
