No. The apparent increase in tornado activity through the 20th century is the result of improved detection of smaller, weaker tornadoes. The activity of strong to violent (F2-F5) tornadoes in the United States has actually decreased overall since the 1950s and 1960s.

Does climate change have something to do with tornado?
Climate change may afftect tornado activity in some regions, but exactly how is uncertain. Some areas would experience more tornadoes and some would experience fewer.
Is the climate change causing more tornadoes?
No. There has not been an increase in the number of tornadoes. In fact, in the past 70 years the number of strong tornadoes in the US has generally decreased. Improvements in technology mean that tornadoes are more likely to be reported when they do occur, resulting in a seeming increase. Scientists are still unsure how climate change will affect tornado activity.
Does greenhouse and global warming have anything to do with hurricanes and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons are weather. Climate is a longer term look at how weather averages out over the years. So one severe tornado is not evidence of climate change and global warming. But if the numbers and the severity of weather events change over time, then that may be a part of climate change caused by global warming.
Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
What caused the climate of the badlands to change?
climate cooling and drier air
Is tornado caused by climate change?
Tornadoes will happen with or without climate change. So far there is no conclusive evidence of a link between tornado activity and climate change.
Are tornadoes caused by humans?
No. Tornadoes are a natural phenomenon. The distribution and frequency of tornado may be altered by climate change, but it is uncertain how.
What has always caused climate change?
climate is caused by the interplay of many factors.
Does the climate change when a tornado occurs?
No. A tornado is a small scale short-lived weather event . Climate is the overall average weather pattern in an area over the course of 30 years or more. So a tornado will not affect the climate of a region.
Who caused climate change?
human

How does a hurricane cause the climate to change?
They don't. It is believed that climate change can increase the number of hurricanes.

Which increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change?
Any increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributes to global climate change.
How is climate change affecting the occurrence of the tornadoes?
There is some evidence that the most frequent tornado activity in Tornado Alley has shifted northward.
