Climate Expert: Trends In U.S. Tornado Damage And Intensity
In 2011, the United States experienced more than 500 deaths and over $30 billion in losses from tornadoes.
As is now common, climate activists were quick to claim that the destructive tornadoes that year were due to climate change. [emphasis, links added]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rejected such claims, advising:
