Do You Want the Good or Bad News on Tornadoes and Hurricanes?

The article focuses on how climate change is altering the frequency and severity of tornadoes and hurricanes in the United States. While the overall number of tornadoes may not be increasing, their intensity and clustering are rising, with a shift eastward into more populated areas, increasing risks to vulnerable communities and infrastructure. Hurricanes may become less frequent but more intense and destructive due to warmer air and water, higher sea levels, and reduced wind shear, leading to greater damage and loss. The article emphasizes the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve preparedness and resilience to these increasingly severe natural disasters.
