CEI bases its challenge on the Federal Data Quality Act (FDQA). The FDQA requires that data disseminated by the government meet basic scientific standards for "objectivity" and "utility."

But the major point here is that it is NOT the lack of warm air that inhibits tornado formation during tornado seasonit is the lack of sufficient wind shear to cause thunderstorms to rotate.
