Climate Change Alarmists: Hey, those tornadoes may have been caused by global warming

Al Gore claimed the Smowmagedden in Washington and cold temperatures last winter were caused by global warming. This winter there has been a noted absence of significant snow and mild temperatures across large parts of North America. What do the 'Warmists' do when the winter is mild and spring seems to come early? They blame a tornado outbreak on global warming.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – When at least 80 tornadoes rampaged across the United States, from the Midwest to the Gulf of Mexico, last Friday, it was more than is typically observed during the entire month of March, tracking firm AccuWeather.com reported on Monday.

“As spring moves up a week or two, tornado season will start in February instead of waiting for April,” said climatologist Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
