According to Grady Dixon, assistant professor of meteorology and climatology at Mississippi State University, such a conclusion would be a “<a href="http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-tornadoes-climate.html">terrible mistake</a>.” He told a <a href="http://www.physorg.com/">leading science website</a> that, “If you look at the past 60 years of data, the number of tornadoes is increasing significantly, but it&#8217;s agreed upon by the tornado community that it&#8217;s not a real increase. It&#8217;s having to do with better (weather tracking) technology, more population, the fact that the population is better educated and more aware. So we&#8217;re seeing them more often.”  The likelihood of a bad tornado season was <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-04-tornadoes-climate.html">predicted</a> on the basis that there is currently a strong La Nina in the Pacific Ocean.  It should be remembered that El Ninos bring warmer weather while La Ninas bring cooler weather.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.globalwarming.org/2011/05/01/shameless-alarmism-tragic-tornadoes-an-opportunity-for-mythmaking/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
