Scientists Look To Determine the Impact, of Climate Change on Tornadoes.<br />'The Independent' reports that while scientists <br />have been able to link climate change to <br />heatwaves, droughts, flooding and hurricanes .<br />'The Independent' reports that while scientists <br />have been able to link climate change to <br />heatwaves, droughts, flooding and hurricanes .<br />'The Independent' reports that while scientists <br />have been able to link climate change to <br />heatwaves, droughts, flooding and hurricanes .<br />the impact of rising global temperatures <br />on tornadoes remains complicated. .<br />Tornadoes form when warm, <br />moist air near the ground <br />collides with cool, dry air above. .<br />How climate change impacts these <br />factors has yet to be fully understood.<br />It doesn’t mean that there’s not <br />a connection, it just means that <br />it’s a lot harder to pick out than <br />some other things might be, Harold Brooks, Senior research scientist at the National <br />Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National <br />Severe Storms Laboratory, via 'The Independent'.<br />While there has been fewer days per year with tornadoes, the number of days with multiple tornadoes has increased over the last half century.<br />The number of tornadoes has increased<br />in the Mid-South around Memphis, <br />Tennessee, and the surrounding <br />area of a couple of hundred miles, Harold Brooks, Senior research scientist at the National <br />Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National <br />Severe Storms Laboratory, via 'The Independent'.<br />In the same time period, there’s been <br />a decrease in tornadoes over the <br />High Plains from the Texas Panhandle <br />through Western Kansas, Harold Brooks, Senior research scientist at the National <br />Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National <br />Severe Storms Laboratory, via 'The Independent'.<br />In January, a study was published that found <br />rising temperatures were likely to increase <br />the number of supercell storms in the eastern U.S.<br />'The Independent' reports that supercells <br />are intense thunderstorms that produce <br />damaging hail and powerful tornadoes
