A biggie was the Teton-Yellowstone tornado that touched down in July 1987. It traveled more than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above sea level up the Grand Teton mountain range and even crossed the Continental Divide.

that's the elevation of that mountain you think?

*googles "do tornadoes like high altitudes"*

quote:

Why are tornadoes less common over mountainous terrain?

Take a look at the maps below. The first map shows all tornado reports courtesy of the Storm Prediction Center from 1950-2011, and the second map shows elevation (in meters) across the continental United States. Notice the gaps in tornado coverage coincide with the large mountain ranges. The Appalachian Mountains are clearly evident, especially over West Virginia, and the Rocky Mountains provide a nice sharp western edge to the tornado reports found across the Great Plains.

So why are tornadoes less common at higher elevations? The basic answer is simple: higher elevations typically have cooler, more stable air.

A ripe tornado environment features warm and humid “unstable” air to provide energy for the explosive thunderstorms capable of producing thunderstorms. The golden rule when talking about higher elevations is, “the higher you go, the colder it gets.” This is true simply due to environmental lapse rates, or the change in temperature with height.

ah. hmmm

yeah it's good, they also made Manufactured Landscapes and Watermark which are both interesting to see the scale of changes done by humans

it's probably about as neutral as you can get for them to just present you with all the imageries without much commentary or explicit stating if it's bad or not

it's true. it's part of the carbon cycle, which is natural! all the carbon we release into the atmosphere is used by plants to grow. CO2 - it's what plants crave!!!

to the contrary, we are the perspective of the universe, its development of a component capable of observing and acting on itself. unfortunately we are failing at the task
