Another inconvenient truth – 2012 US tornado count well below normal

Strong tornado count (>EF2) basically has a long term, negative correlation to northern hemisphere SST. Though the conditions that create tornadoes are not that simple, so don’t expect this to work on a year to year basis, like all things in climate there are decadal scale patterns too:

(Note tornado count is inverted in this graph)
Tornado count on this inverted plot peaked around year 2000. There is a clear trend towards more tornadoes. This is yet another indicator that we have entered a cooling phase since around 2000.
Expect more proof of “extreme weather” next year from weeping Bill whether there are more or less tornadoes, it will always the “abnormal” “new normal” and a sign of impending doom.
Meanwhile, in the real world:
For the US, the current cooling will bring more tornadoes and less hurricanes.

It’s friggin 4 degrees F here in mid-Maine… wtf??
And the weather channels are all… “Going to be a high of 40’s for Saturday…”… are they for real?

Back in April 2011 Dr. Roy Spencer thought Warmists were joking when they tried to link more tornadoes and global warming.

“MORE Tornadoes from Global Warming? That’s a Joke, Right?”
“…….If there is one weather phenomenon global warming theory does NOT predict more of, it would be severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Tornadic thunderstorms do not require tropical-type warmth. In fact, tornadoes are almost unheard of in the tropics, despite frequent thunderstorm activity…………..
But contrasting air mass temperatures is the key. Active tornado seasons in the U.S. are almost always due to unusually COOL air persisting over the Midwest and Ohio Valley longer than it normally does as we transition into spring. …….”

Never let observations get in the way of a good story. Never let facts get in the way of a good story. Always blame global warming for things people don’t like or find ‘unusual’ at certain times of the year. Blame the weather for things people like or find ‘normal’ at certain times of the year.
When are these scaremongers going to give up with the misinformation campaign against the public?

Is it just me, or is there a sad air of desperation and defeat about the spin-meisters of doom by weather? I sense they are not even making the effort, to at least sound plausible, anymore.

Why should they?
The brainwashing part of the project has achieved its purpose. The next step is to consolidate the position before the cooling climate makes the hoax obvious to the Sheeple. That is why the IPCC was no even at the convention. It is not and never was about CAGW it was about the UN’s ability to tax and getting a strangle hold on energy. If you control energy you control a country.
A top Democrat and Republican on energy matters in the Senate left the door open to compromise on a potential carbon tax
In Washington they are saying But why institute a carbon tax, if not to raise revenue? In brief: Because it would reduce harm in the future and compensate for harm in the past. And how would it “compensate for harm in the past?” July 5 [2012] (Reuters) – The United Nations on Thursday urged countries to impose international taxes to raise more than $400 billion a year, such as a carbon tax, a currency transaction tax and a billionaires tax

…a United Nations survey which suggested “innovative” ways to fund global development projects…
“Indeed, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change mandates only that higher-income countries make specific targeted reductions, as those countries are responsible for most of the man-made concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere and are best able to bear the economic burden,” the survey said.
“In this vein, a tax of $25 per ton of CO2 emitted by developed countries is expected to raise $250 billion per year in global tax revenues,” the survey continued….
In August, Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott of Washington introduced a bill that would create a carbon emissions permitting system, placing an initial maximum price of $18.75 per ton of carbon which would then steeply rise to $131.25 per ton of carbon over a decade.
The Managed Carbon Price Act of 2012 aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent of 2005 levels within 42 years of its enactment, and the Treasury Department would issue permits which are not allowed to be traded. Permits could only be purchased from the Treasury or refunded by them
The proceeds from the tax going to a trust fund where 25 percent would go towards deficit reduction and 75 percent would be spent to offset price increases for the public….
The American people care about the deficit and they’re worried about climate change–and we can fix both without hurting the economy,” McDermott said

I wonder how much of that tax is going to go to the UN. In Australia it is 10%

cherry picking. On what basis were these periods chosen? If you have the data to do a plot ,plot it all, not the bits that make a point.

Will Bill Mckibben have the courage to respond to those who responded to him? Stayed tuned to this station to find out the intriguing answer to this and many more questions on today’s episode of ” Alarmist Hit and Run”.

Actually, according to the folks at the Natl Severe Storms Laboratory, the heat dome that caused the remarkable drought seems to be the reason for fewer tornadoes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/28/tornado-season-2012-recor_n_1711679.html A hard sort of tradeoff–Jeff Masters provided some statistical reasoning to say it was probably not worth the tradeoff. http://www.heraldandnews.com/article_90e490d2-e419-11e1-84eb-001a4bcf887a.html Interestingly, all this came up once before, when Mr. Watts accused me of ‘disappearing’ things from my Twitter account, but then it turned out he didn’t have the settings quite right on his Twitter account (admittedly fairly easy to do) and so they just appeared to be disappearing to him.http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/08/13/bill-mckibben-disappears-his-own-commentary-on-poisonedweather/ We cleared that up at the time. At any rate, that’s all from weepy me today–I’m in Omaha, where last week 99.69% of the state was in severe drought, but this week it’s up to 100%. I hope everyone has an excellent weekend
