INTERVIEW – DR. ROY SPENCER – Climatologist, weather and climate researcher at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, former NASA scientist

• Spencer (Ph.D. Meteorology) is a weather and climate researcher at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. During his college years, he performed tornado damage surveys for the National Weather Service, and has published studies on the use of satellite data to identify severe thunderstorms.
• TOPIC: The Wave of Tornadoes – Why? Is It Climate Change? AND TRUMP ADMIN HAS PLANS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
• Roy Spencer: Why so many tornadoes this year? It’s not what AOC, Bernie Sanders (or maybe even you) think. By Roy Spencer | Fox News Progressive politicians like Al Gore, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D.N.Y., don’t hesitate to blame any kind of severe weather – even if it is decreasing over time – on global warming. With the devastating Dayton, Ohio tornadoes fresh on our minds, it is useful to examine exactly why (modest) global warming has produced fewer – not more – of such events. The simple answer is that tornado formation requires unusually cool air.

• 5 million without power as destructive tornado hits Dayton, Ohio.  “It looks in areas like a war zone, some of the houses were completely moved off their foundations and gone,” says the mayor of Celina, Ohio.
• FLASHBACK LAST WEEK: AOC called out by meteorologist after linking DC tornado warning to climate change.
• President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests. President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests, it was revealed on Tuesday. (Daily Mail) President Donald Trump and his administration are planning an attack on the science upon which climate change policy rests, it was revealed on Tuesday. Leading the charge will be the administration’s new climate review panel led by a 79-year-old Princeton physicist who has become famous for defending the use of carbon dioxide – even comparing its demonization to the treatment of Jews under German dictator Adolf Hitler.  ‘The demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler,’ said William Happer, who serves on the National Security Council as the president’s deputy assistant for emerging technologies, to The New York Times. Happer is backed by National Security Adviser John Bolton, who brought him on board and supports the new climate panel. The two men are also backed by Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the ultra-conservative billionaire and his daughter who have funded efforts to debunk climate science.  But some administration officials – such as economic adviser Larry Kudlow – have advised the president not to follow Happer’s recommendations as it would be seen as an attack on science.
