Yes! and we're now seeing historic flooding as well

No! I'm with Drudge who had the headline, "Sorry, Al: Tornadoes whipped up by wind, not 'climate change"

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Climate change is creating extreme weather, especially wind and precipitation. We're having high winds here in Arizona and no rain, which is increasing the possibility for wildfires.
"Yes" The mega storms are proof of climate change, though no surprise to climate SCIENTISTS and their computer models! Even big oil, with all of its big money, will not be able to hide from the fury of mother nature!
"Yes"
Global warming? Oh no, it couldn't be! People must be insane to say global warming does not exist. What more do they need, Dorothy and Toto?
Here in Washington State we have had a terribly rainy Winter and Spring. I think we have had only two days over 65 degrees since October 2010. We have had record rainfall two months in a row. Last month we had snow and at night the temperatures were still going down below 40 degrees. Many people are just now beginning to plant their gardens and we are getting close to June 1.
I do not have enough knowledge to say its global warming or climate change. I am with my spiritual advisor and what he said to me at my confession. "America and Americans will continue to fell the pain and suffering until they return to God."
I don't think these tornados are proof of global warming-a tornado killed 32 in Regina and 27 in Edmonton, sprawl and unreinforced structures above ground are the cause of these great death tolls.Every house on the prairies should have a basement storm shelter with a rebar conrete ceiling.It should be code.AB, Sask, Man., and Ontario are prone to tornados.Global warming or not we must stop producing carbon monoxide, acidifying our lakes, oceans rivers and seas.Maybe running out of oil will be the best thing for the planet.Meteorlogical phenomena are complicated matters, pole shifting, fluctuations in solar activity-many complicated factors affect our weather but carbon monoxide is real and takes years off all our lives.Water and air pollution are real and deadly.
I wish we would use the term "global climate changes" instead of "global warming". The latter term is misleading. Some areas get colder and colder every year with massive snow fall. Water levels are rising, flooding appears to be increasing, icebergs and glaciers are melting. Other areas experience excessive droughts and threatening wild fires. I am sure our massive carbon footprint has something to do with it, but it could also be cyclical, although I would suggest that that matters very little to those who just saw all their belongings blown away in the tornado areas.
