Pollution does not cause tornadoes, but some forms of pollution contribute to global warming. Certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, and chlorfluorocarbons are released by various natural and human processes. Earth is warmed by electromagnetic radiation (light, ultraviolet, infrared etc.) from the sun. The warmed Earth then radiates some of this energy back as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gasses absorb some of this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping back into space. A certain level of greenhouse gasses is essential; without them Earth would freeze. However, burning fossil fuels and various industrial and agricultural processes release additional greenhouse gasses. The higher concentration increases the amound of infrared absrobed, thus increasing overall temperatures.

Some have proposed that global warming is causing tornadoes to become more frequent or more violent, but there is no real evidence behind this claim.
