was caused by - you guessed it - global warming generated by humans! At least according to a local politician
>>>>Dawn Butler, the Labour MP for Brent South, said she believed the tornado was a sign that climate change was having an effect.
She said: "This is a sign that we have to take it seriously and we have to look at how we live our lives. It is quite devastating."<<<<<
What's devastating is the spread of sophomoric nonsense like this in the media. Is she aware that the world's highest number of tornadoes per unit area occurs in - drum roll, please - ENGLAND??!! They've been happening for tens of thousands of years in England. But suddenly in 2006 they are the result of "how we live our lives". Were the 105 tornadoes that occurred in England in 1981 over a 5 hour time span the result of global warming -- oh wait, that was the time period when 'experts' were predicting the coming of the new ice age!
