Other than that, I think we are looking at a statistical aberration.</p> In addition to the fact that nothing really blocks cold Canadian air masses from slamming into the very warm Gulf of Mexico, the jet stream can cause a twisting motion where the cold/warm air masses meet.

Global warming/cooling/climate change would increase the frequency of tornadoes if it altered the three types of airmasses differentially. If it has a more-or-less uniform impact on them, it shouldn't alter tornado frequency.</p> Tornadoes arise from the clash of three airmasses: a warm and moist airmass, a cold airmass, and a dry airmass coming up from the southwest.
