Climate change is shifting the location of U.S. tornadoes

The video discusses the impact of climate change on tornado frequency and distribution. It highlights expert opinions on how tornadoes have decreased in Tornado Alley but increased in more populated areas east of the Mississippi River. The video also explains how climate change affects weather patterns, particularly through changes in the jet stream and greenhouse gas emissions.

Who did CNN interview to discuss the impact of climate change on tornadoes?

• A meteorologist from NOAA

• A tornado expert named Victor Gancini

• A weather reporter from BBC

• A climate scientist from NASA

What has been the trend in tornado frequency in Tornado Alley over the past four decades?

• Decreasing

• Fluctuating unpredictably

• Staying the same

In which region has tornado frequency been increasing?

• Along the Gulf Coast

• In the northern Great Plains

• East of the Mississippi River

• West of the Rocky Mountains

What primarily fuels tornadoes?

• Warm, moist air

• Cool, humid air

• Hot, arid air
