The Biden administration uses this graph as evidence that burning fossil fuels is making the weather more severe.

But NOAA knows the graph is flawed due to changes in the way tornadoes are detected and recorded. NOAA adjusts the tornado count for inflation – which makes the apparent increase disappear.

That NOAA web page has a link to an explanation explaining what is wrong with the data. That web page has been deleted by NOAA, but is available on the Internet Archive.

More meaningful data is the number of strong to violent tornadoes, which peaked in 1974 and have been declining for fifty years. It is much less likely that a violent tornado would have been missed in the past. This graph has also been deleted by NOAA.

This graph overlays the violent tornados in blue on top of the NOAA all tornado trend, and shows the divergence.

Three years ago was the first year with no violent tornadoes.

And that followed the most quiet period on record for hurricanes.

“GENEVA, Feb 15 — This winter Chicago was paralyzed by snow. Last winter it was Boston. European Russia has just suffered its coldest December in a century. In Britain and Western Europe, the summer of 1976 was the hottest in 250 years. Droughts have recently killed 80 percent of the livestock in parts of Africa and have taken many human lives.

Does this mean that the world climate has become ominously variable? Participants in the world climate conference here who have done systematic studies of the records are almost unanimous in saying no.

Dr. W. J. Gibbs, a leading Australian meteorologist, noting current rapid dissemination of reports on floods, blizzards and “record” temperatures, said: “The variability is not greater but more apparent”.

Dr. B. John Mason, director of the British Weather Services, told a news conference that, despite “a lot of loose statements.” he knew of no evidence that the current extremes were any greater or more frequent than those in earlier decades.

People become vividly aware of current hardships and forget those of the past, Dr. Mason and others said.”

“Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.”

It must be the global warming keeping people away from Wyoming.

In this 1969 article, Popular Science blamed both global warming and global cooling on burning fossil fuels.

“the whole world has been cooling off since about 1940. Before that, the earth had been warming up for a considerably longer time. The switch to cooling was first spotted by Dr. J. Murray Mitchell Jr., a climatologist for the U.S. Environmental Science Services Administration. Arctic winter temperatures have now dropped an average of six degrees, he says.”

“Experts say that global warming from the early 19th century up to 1940 was caused by a more than 10-percent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from burning of ever-increasing amounts of fossil fuels. That produced a “greenhouse effect.”

“Another meteorologist says dirty air from cities is lengthening our winters, and that soon our northern states may not have much summer left.”

“New scientific research says that car exhausts, industrial air pollution, and jet contrails could be altering the earth’s climate and may be bringing us into a new ice age”
