Government Kingship Was Stated to Have Been Lowered From Heaven--The Emulation on Earth
Politician Cicero said: "We have realized that the world is directed and governed by the gods."
A warmer atmosphere does mean more moisture in potentially more unstable air. Since both of those factors can lead to tornadoes, it’d be a logical jump to blame our overheating planet for the increase in tornadoes.
But, as Wired explained, the amount of vertical wind shear — which is needed to spawn a tornado — could actually decrease because of our warming climate.
These conflicting factors lead experts in the field to be hesitant to blame more tornados on our changing climate. Dr. Jana Houser, who teaches meteorology at The Ohio State University, told Wired that our climate’s culpability is unclear.
“We really can’t pinpoint what we expect to see in terms of when and where tornadoes are going to occur,” Houser stated. “We are still very unsure what the future holds.”
So, while it’s not clear whether or not we can expect to see far more tornadoes in the coming years, it’s crucial to have a plan for how to respond if one does strike.
Paying close attention to forecasts, having a go-bag ready, and communicating with your family and friends during severe weather can be critical to keeping everyone safe.
