   Compared to the Worcester, MA tornado of 1953, yesterday’s one in Springfield was relatively puny.

   May 11, 1953-tornado kills 114 in Waco, TX
   June 8, 1953-tornado kills 114 in Flint, MI
   June 9, 1953-tornado kills 94 in Worcester, MA

   So bad tornadoes did take place with CO2 less than 350PPM.

     The Beecher tornado had 116 fatalities! Thought you might want the correct numbers.

   According to Kevin “I’m a travesty” Trenberth, global warming means tornado occurrences should be moving further North.

   If they were in Massachussets in 1953, that should put them up in Baffin Island by now. Of course there is a second possibility – he does not have a clue what he is talking about.
