Rising Global Temperatures Are Making Tornadoes Much Worse

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on findings from AccuWeather and National Geographic that link rising global temperatures to an increase in tornado frequency and severity. Warmer surface temperatures in the central U.S. create the unstable atmospheric conditions necessary for tornado formation. McIntyre warns that continued warming will likely intensify this trend, and reversing it appears increasingly difficult.
