How will global warming affect thunderstorms?

  • A recent study came out that indicated areas prone to severe thunderstorms are likely to experience them more often. But this is only one study so you can%26#039;t make any conclusions yet.

    The latest IPCC report said %26quot;evidence for changes in small-scale severe weather phenomena (such as tornadoes, hail and thunderstorms) is mostly local and too scattered to draw general conclusions%26quot;
  • because the more polluated it gets the more colder and more torandoes and hurricanes and more will be
  • They might be more frequent than before.
  • it wont. We have always had severe thunderstorms. The frequency might increase. But doesnt this help to stop global warming, as nice thick, white cloud tops reflect sunlight back into space? Ive heard a mere 2% increase in average cloud cover would be enough to negate the %26quot;warming from co2%26quot;.

    Also, more storms means more rain, which means more co2 being cleaned out of the atmosphere. And with more rain, how will there be more drought, less water for people? You cant say global warming will cause droughts in some areas, and floods in others because these types of events have been happening forever, whether we were here or not.
  • They won%26#039;t be as cold as they used to be.
  • i think global warming will make storms (thunder) more violent and lives will be at risk even in peril books
  • Probably not much but there are reports that global warming will increase the likelihood of extreme weather.
  • i dont know about thunder storms, but global wrming will affect hurricanes and tornadoes. %26amp; melt glaciers and rise ocean levels. It will make storms stronger. An Inconvinient truth
  • Global warming causes thunderstorms to be less powerful because more warming means less water vapor in the air and the moisture is dumped back as rain. Cooling causes more vapor and moisture to be trapped for a longer time causing more intense storms.
    Hurricanes the same thing applies. The last two seasons did not live up to projections because the southern hemisphere experienced the coolest winter in years.
