Recall: 100% of the AGW climate scientists predicted that tornadoes would become worse with global warming.
Tornadoes are rated on a scale from EF-0 to EF-5, with 5 being the strongest with winds of over 200 mph and “incredible,” damage, according to to the National Weather Service.
In order to be classified as a “violent tornado,” the ranking must be an EF-4 with winds between 166 and 200 mph, or an EF-5.
No violent tornadoes ended up touching down in 2018, which made it the first since modern record-keeping began in 1950 that no violent twisters were reported, according to FOX23.
The Washington Post noted that it was a quiet year for tornados overall, with below-normal numbers reported during the peak season of March to May due to unfavorable weather conditions.
There were also fewer tornado-related deaths in 2018 than average. Nine tornadoes were responsible for 10 deaths, according to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center.
Data from the NWS shows on average there are typically 69 tornado deaths in the U.S.
No violent tornadoes reported in US in 2018, first time since 1950
In a year that saw a pair of destructive hurricanes and a massive winter storm, there was one thing that did not touch down in 2018: a single violent tornado. Tornadoes are rated on a scale from EF-0 to EF-5, with 5 being the strongest with winds of over 200 mph and “incredible,” damage, according to to the National Weather Service.
Tornadoes have not co-operated with climate alarmists in 2018
Of course 2019 may be different, but claims of a trend towards more severe weather due to human activity fall flat when the evidence fails to point in the predicted direction.
