The basic idea is that a warmer atmosphere would provide more energy for the violent storms that produce tornadoes. This logic, however, is too simple as tornadoes depend on a number of complex factors. While there is evidence of warming, records show that, at least in the U.S., there has been no real increase in tornado activity.

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.


Why might global warming produce more thunderstorms and tornadoes?

The simple logic goes that a warmer atmosphere would mean more energy is available to power thunderstorms and tornadoes. In reality weather and climate are much more complicated than this, so the actual outcomes are not certain.

Which of the following tornadoes hurricanes tsunamis or earthquakes will increase due to global warming?

Popular opinion might have you think that tornadoes and/or hurricanes might increase in frequency or intensity due to global warming. It is based on the logic that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available for storms. This is a gross oversimplification. Both tornadoes and hurricanes are influenced by many complex factors, and the specific effects of global warming will vary by region. Such storms may become more common in one region but less common in another. Some models, for example, suggest that Atlantic hurricanes will become less common, but those that do occur will be stronger on average. There is no simple answer. Earthquakes and tsunamis are unlikely to be affected in any noticeable way.

What might global warming do to us?

Global warming is the same thing as greenhouse effects. They trap a lot of heat and lets the remaining heat get away into space. Therefore, global warming heats up the Earth making it warmer.
