Terrible news for Alarmists...


Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. noted on Twitter in January:

It’d be great if just one journalist (any!) would note that 2015-warmest year ever- also

had the lowest catastrophe losses in a generation.


Since record keeping began in 1875,

U.S Tornado deaths are near the lowest ever for 2015. And,

this is the fourth year in a row that tornado deaths have been below average.

In 2015 - the ‘warmest year ever’, U.S. tornado deaths were near lowest ever

While pundits such as AP’s Seth Borenstein are trying to link some climate and weather connections in a new study, this sobering fact is worth noting.

Since record keeping began in 1875,

U.S Tornado deaths are near the lowest ever for 2015.
this is the fourth year in a row that tornado deaths have been below average.
Paul Homewood notes a downward trend in all tornado types, weak and strong.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center have now finalised their tornado data for 2015.

The year finished with 481 tornadoes of EF-1 strength or greater, the fourth year in a row that has been below average.

Perhaps more significantly, the number of EF-3 and stronger tornadoes was one of the lowest on record. You have to go back to 1987 to find fewer.

There were no EF-5s at all,

and only three EF-4s.
