Global warming is not caused by tornadoes, but rather by human burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

Because global warming is causing climate change, there is some evidence that more heat (energy) in the atmosphere is giving extra strength to storms and tornadoes.

Do tornadoes affect global warming?

Scientists don't think tornadoes affect global warming. There are some studies to suggest the other way round, that global warming and climate change may lead to weather events like tornadoes, more often and more violent.


Ozone depletion is caused by global warming?

No, ozone depletion was caused by CFCs in the atmosphere.


Could tornadoes cause global warming?

No. While global warming might affect tornado activity, tornadoes themselves are an end product of weather and climatic activity, not a cause.


Are tornadoes linked to global warming?

Tornadoes will always occur, with or without global warming. So far the only known trend in tornado activity that may be linked to global warming is a northward shift of the areas of highest tornado activity in Tornado Alley.


What does a tornado do to contribute to global warming?

Tornadoes do not directly contribute to global warming. However, the severe weather patterns that can result from climate change, which is linked to global warming, may increase the frequency and intensity of tornadoes.

Can you quote another term for global warming?

Climate change. Though that is actually caused by global warming.


Is there a link between tornadoes and global warming?

So far no conclusive link has been found between tornadoes and global warming. Extra heat in the atmosphere is a form of energy, and energy drives tornadoes. Scientists predict that global warming will cause more frequent and more severe "weather events". Climate, however, takes time to change so it is unclear yet what is happening.
