There is no reason that it should. In order to form, tornadoes need several conditions to come together, and even relatively small changes can significantly effect how these conditions come together, and thus how conducive they are to the formation of tornadoes. Large scale variation in the atmosphere that occur of the the course of days, weeks, or even years affects these conditions. Some have claimed that climate change is cause more tornadoes to strike the U.S. but the statistical evidence doesn't support this claim. Advancing technology and an improved understanding of tornadoes means that over a few decades we recorded more weak tornadoes that would previously have been missed, but there has been no increase in the number of strong tornadoes. Furthermore, we are not sure exactly what the effect climate change would have on tornadoes because the effects of climate change are complicated, and tornadoes depend on a number of different factors. While some regions would likely see more tornadoes with climate changes, other regions would see fewer. Even if there were an overall increase, simple year-to-year fluctuation would have a greater influence on activity from one year to the next, with any trend only becoming noticeable in the long term.
