Tornadoes do not affect climate. Climate is the long term trend in weather patterns while a tornado is a short lived effect. Temperature inside a tornado is lower than it is in the surrounding environment. However, you would only experience this while inside the tornado itself.
How often tornadoes occur in different regions is a function of climate. Tornadoes are weather events and climate is the long-term behavior of the weather. In simple terms, tornadoes occur in areas whose climates support the formation of strong thunderstorms and wind shear.
The common idea is that a warmer climate means that there will be more energy to power violent storms such as tornadoes. This view is grossly oversimplified. Weather and climate are very complex and difficult to predict. Scientists are still uncertain how climate change might affect 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.
Yes, the flat land of Oklahoma can affect its climate by allowing weather systems to move easily across the state without natural barriers such as mountains to block or divert them. This can lead to more extreme temperature changes and severe weather events like tornadoes. Additionally, the lack of elevation changes can result in fewer variations in temperature and weather patterns across the state.
Tornadoes are themselves violent weather events. They ar intense whirlwinds spawned by thunderstorms. Since tornadoes depend on certain weather conditions to develop, climate affects how often tornadoes occur in an area.
Tornadoes themselves are not directly caused by climate change, but there is evidence that a warming climate could lead to changes in atmospheric conditions that may affect tornado frequency or intensity. However, the relationship between tornadoes and climate change is complex, and more research is needed to fully understand the connection.
Tornadoes do not have a direct impact on the climate as they are short-lived, localized events. However, they can contribute to regional temperature changes due to the heat generated during the storm and the redistribution of moisture in the atmosphere. In the long term, tornadoes are not significant factors in climate trends.
Humans do not cause tornadoes. While climate change may affect tornadoes, it is still uncertain how exactly this will play out.

Arizona and Utah have warm climates and don't see tornadoes very often. The tornadoes that do affect those states are almost always weak.
yes
Scientists don't think tornadoes affect global warming. There are some studies to suggest the other way round, that global warming and climate change may lead to weather events like tornadoes, more often and more violent.
