Extreme weather events that spanned the globe in 2017 have been directly linked to -- and in some cases were even caused by -- continued warming of the planet via human influence through greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report.
For the second year in a row, the annual report from the American Meteorological Society found weather extremes that could not have happened without human-caused warming of the climate.
Not that this should come as a surprise, but I am sure it will be denied.

Climate change is not only influencing extreme weather events, it's causing them
Second year in a row...so, that state of denial must be getting harder and harder to maintain.
Don't think I have ever met anyone who denies the climate changes.

Weather is not climate.
Look here buddy, every time climate skeptics use cold weather to prove global warming is false, you Lefties use the "weather isnt climate defence".No one here said it was. The op did say climate change causes extreme weather, however

Tornadoes are down.

This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2017. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Eastern India, but they can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer and somewhat regularly at other times of the year across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Tornadic events are often accompanied with other forms of severe weather, including strong thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail.
There were 1,522 reports of tornadoes in the United States in 2017,[1] of which 1,418 were confirmed. Worldwide, 36 fatalities have been confirmed worldwide in 2017: 35 in the United States[2] and one in Brazil. The tornado season in 2017 started exceptionally early, having the second most active January since records began in 1950, and one of the most active first quarters in recorded history. 2017 also had four high risks issued by the Storm Prediction Center, making this the most active in the sense of high risks since 2011, which had a total of five high risks issued throughout the entire year.

NOAA data seem to stop in 2014. This is recent.

May 23, 2018 - Residents of Tornado Alley have been treated to a relatively quiet year of tornadoes so far in 2018, with the number of reported tornadoes near a 13-year low. As of Tuesday, a preliminary 362tornadoes have been reported to the National Weather Service this year, barely more than half the average through that date.
Why are you telling me what not to think? And, I could not care less who you ever met.
Not that this should come as a surprise, but I am sure it will be denied.

At a glance, it appears we now swing from record highs to record lows. But that's just over the last few years.
Actually the trend line has been down for many years.

You'd never know that from reading the Washington Post:
A news search on Google for “Extreme Weather” finds this headline first one out of the box:Extreme weather has made half of America look like Tornado Alley
Climate change may be confounding the jet stream and making trouble for everyone.
The Washington Post
The IPCC doesn't say Climate Change will produce more tornadoes, but the Washington Post
ignores that fact and wants you to believe that it does.

They can't help themselves.
Recent Tornadoes are Due to Unusually Cold Weather
May 29th, 2019I had an op-ed published at Foxnews.com yesterday describing the reason why we have had so many tornadoes this year. The answer is the continuing cold weather stretching from Michigan through Colorado to California. A persistent cold air mass situated north and west of the usual placement of warm and humid Gulf air in the East is what is required for rotating thunderstorms to be embedded in a strong wind shear environment.
The strong wind shear and warm advection provided at the “tightened” boundary between the warm and cold air masses is the usual missing ingredient in tornado formation, unlike Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that a New Jersey tornado warning was somehow tied to global warming.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, a trend line fit to the number of strong to violent U.S. tornadoes has gone down from 60 in 1954 to 30 in 2018. . . .
In other words, the number of most damaging tornadoes has, on average, been cut in half since U.S. statistics started to be compiled:
Or, phrased another way, the last half of the 65-year U.S. tornado record had 40% fewer strong to violent tornadoes than the first half.
To claim that global warming is causing more tornadoes is worse than speculative; it is directly opposite to the clear observational evidence.
No one here said it was. The op did say climate change causes extreme weather, however.
