Currently scientists are uncertain as to how global warming would affect tornadoes. This is further complicated by a lack of complete, long-term tornado records. So far no substantial link has been discovered.

Are tornadoes more frequent due to the effects of global warming?

No. The apparent increase in the number of tornadoes is entirely due to improvement in our ability to detect the weaker ones. The frequency of F3 and stronger tornadoes in the United States has actually decreased in the past few decades.


How does global warming make stronger tornadoes?

To date there is no evidence that global warming is causing stronger tornadoes. In fact there are fewer strong tornadoes in the U.S. now than there were 50 years ago. This decrease appears to be due to factors other than global warming. The popular assumption is that a warmer atmosphere means more energy is available to power storms such as tornadoes. The problem is that weather and climate are complicated things. Tornadoes depend on a number of different factors, of which temperature is just one.


How is global warming linked to tornadoes?

Some have proposed that higher temperatures would mean more energy to power the thunderstorms that produce tornadoes. Others have noted that global warming would alter the distribution of such tornadoes. So far no real increase in tornado activity has been noted (the apparent increase is due to out increased ability to detect tornadoes), though some meteorologists have noted that tornado activity in the U.S. seems to be shifting northward.
