You should be able to see there's an enormous variance in the number of tornadoes, much larger than you'd get from random generation. One year sees less than 1000 tornadoes, two years later it is over 1800, then it drops down significantly again.

The reason is that these tornadoes are driven by weather systems that are themselves highly variant. But if you'd take these to a global scale instead of just the USA, you'd get a pretty consistent gradual increase.

And if you take the last graph from my previous post you'd see that trend in the USA too, over 60 years.
Even though 2018 had an exceptionally low number of tornadoes (989) all the years from 1954 to 1972 were even significantly lower than that. 989 would have been an outlier high then.

The 1880s tornadoes were an anomaly. As was the 1883 Krakatoa eruption that disrupted weather globally for several years.
Hmm. A large increase of CO2 and a lot of tornadoes?
Does this not prove the relationship rather than disprove it?

Would that make you accept the number of tornadoes IS actually rising, on a long-term trend, factoring out temporary effects of really big volcanic eruptions?
Or do you prefer to go on ranting about lies and believers while ignoring scientific data and instead dipping into the holy grail of youtube conspiracy videos and Koch funded opinionated websites?
