saw today that the number of tornadoes this year is down significantly from the usual number of twisters. that's good news.

As are the hurricanes and that forecast. Long term predictions for this winter are already positive for snow/temperatures.
Maybe the sky isn't exactly falling?

Short-term weather and long-term climate pattern change are two different things.

The main science man for the climate change deniers, the one guy that fed all the "science sucks and is wrong" "there are other points of view" Faux outrage conflating science with politics over the past many years (easier to hate that liberal jackass Al Gore than understand the subject he was talking about) has now recanted his former scientific position, and said he was wrong about his former interpretation of climate change data.

Now he says climate change is real, it's here, and it's man-made.

Based on .0001% of the timeline is not long term data collection. It is "in recorded history". And exactly how accurate were the measuring devices for weather/climate in 1884?

Again, weather and climate are two different things. Our world climate info goes back thousands of years: glacial cores, rock samples, etc

Maybe "people" are causing the hurricanes off the coast of Africa and they aren't planning on causing that many this year? Kinda goes along with the "people" are causing global warming theory.
