From floods to wildfires, 2016 featured several weather disasters, but a big, deadly tornado outbreak was not one of them.Tornadoes killed only 17 Americans this year, the fewest in 30 years and the second fewest since accurate records began in 1950. In 1986, 15 died, which is the least on record, according to the Storm Prediction Center.
(Unofficial records from before 1950 show only one other year with so few deaths: 1910, with 12.)
The number of tornadoes was also well below average this year: 901 reported through Dec. 27. An average year sees 1,061 tornadoes, according to data from the prediction center. This made it the third-quietest year in the past 10 years.

U.S. records fewest tornado deaths in 30 years

This is happy news! As much as I love chasing a good tornado, the less of them the better.
 
Thanks Obama. :lamo

Don't jinx it, I live near jasper texas, where the tornado with the most destructive force happened. It by far never made any records for deaths, but the damage it did to the ground and cars being moved miles and neighborhoods so disinigrated they didn't have debris or even a trace life once lived there other than concrete pads, made many wonder what would happen if it hit dallas or somewhere else, deathtoll would be in the thousands.

Already had a tornado outbreak here last year or the year before I forget, and being close to jarrel, please do not jinx it.

Jarrell, bad juju that one was.
 
just realized I put jasper instead of jarrel, disregard it, I live near the home of the strongest tonado in destructive force, not draggin town.

New paper finds global warming reduces intense storms & extreme weather



A paper published today in Science contradicts the prior belief that global warming, if it resumes, will fuel more intense storms, finding instead that an increase in water vapor and strengthened hydrological cycle will reduce the atmosphere's ability to perform thermodynamic Work, thus decreasing the formation of intense winds, storms, and hurricanes. The authors demonstrate instead that if warming resumes
"Although the hydrological cycle may increase in intensity, it does so at the expense of its ability to do work, such as powering large-scale atmospheric circulation or fueling more very intense storms."​
The paper adds to many others demonstrating that a warmer climate is a more benign climate with fewer extreme weather events, opposite the claims of climate alarmists. Claims of global warming producing more extreme weather due to "more energy in the system" are refuted by the paper which finds the atmosphere will become "less energetic" and the atmospheric "Carnot engine" will become less efficient at performing Work (such as generating intense winds and storms) due to global warming and a decrease of temperature differentials. . . .









 
[h=2]Climate change causes quietest cyclone season in Southern Hemisphere[/h]
Spot the effect of man-made CO2 in this graph.
Terror, terror I tell you — as the accumulated energy of cyclones in the southern half of the planet reaches a new low, far below anything seen in records that go back to 1971.

From the Daily Caller, and @Ryan Maue
Meteorologist Ryan Maue of Weatherbell Analytics noted tropical cyclone activity in the Southern Hemisphere for the 2016-2017 season is the “quietest on record, by far” based on records going back nearly five decades.
So far, the Southern Hemisphere has seen 13 named storms, including four hurricane-strength storms. Only two of those storms became major hurricanes, Category 3 or higher, according to data compiled by Colorado State University.
I don’t think Al Gore won’t be mentioning this is his inconvenient advertising.

Have you ever seen a warm front produce a violent line of storms? Ohy you do.. when they go over cold air. That's why spring is so nasty for storms, because arctic air still is cold enough when it reaches the warmer, moist air further south, forcing the moisture up...

Cold fronts drive most storms. Aside tropical storms, those are a different beast altogether.
 
They keep trying to make the case.
