Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. Tornadoes are caused by intense thunderstorm supercells. The most salient feature of intense thunderstorms is cooling aloft… The short answer is… no.

Sure. GW is real enough. And its consequences are equally real. The problem is, WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Man’s contribution to GW simply isn’t large enough to have any real effect. The same thing happened during the MWP, and we couldn’t affect THAT, either.

"Global warming" is just a buzzword the tax man invented.

The year after the hurricane hit New Orleans all the ‘concensus scientists’ (maybe all 4 of ‘em) came running and shouting that the next hurricane season would be the worst ever. Price of gas doubled because of it. People were so worried. Really.
Turned out the following hurricane season was one of the mildest/lowest in history. So no, "global warming" can’t have any effect on actual climate. The terrorists who dreamed up g/w wish it could though.
