The huge winds needed to cause cyclones requires very warm water, so hurricanes and cyclones mainly occur during the summer (hurricane season). As global warming grows, it is very possible that water temperatures increase enough to cause more strong winds. More strong winds cause more cyclones which can develop into hurricanes.
It has been shown that the warming of the atmosphere warms the oceans and provides more energy to tropical systems, thereby causing some hurricanes to become more powerful. Whether they are becoming more frequent is still a matter of debate.
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.
Oil Spills . Global Warming Would Take Longer Than a Oil Spill
The main cause of current global warming is the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Changes in Earth's orbit are natural and occur over long time scales, but they are not responsible for the rapid warming observed in recent decades.
As known by many, cyclones occur because of water. Yes, possibly it is.

No, volcanoes would have nothing to do with global warming in any measurable way. Volcanoes occur for reasons outside of the issues involved with global warming.
Global warming continues to occur, as evidenced by the fact our polar ice caps are melting, and of course by global temperature records.

Because of the global warming weathers were changing and this caused storms and a burst of rain drop into the river severn. That is why Tewksbury had a flood in 2007. Answer: We can not honestly say that the cause of the flood was due to global warming from a scientific perspective. We can say that if the planet does warm as some predict, that additional flooding of some low areas could occur.
Hurricane dean occured due to the warming alantic ocean at the end of the summer-not 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.
