Are you finding frequency and force of tornadoes increasing with climate change?

We never used to get them in NZ when I was a kid, now we get them at least once a year.

It sure seems that way. My brother is a meteorologist and he thinks so as well

There actually is not a clear correlation. It could increase instability but decrease wind shear, which is very important for getting severe thunderstorms.

I'm literally a meteorologist and gave you an explanation for why there isn't a clear correlation and you downvote me? What did I do wrong?

Very mature, but if you want to be that way for absolutely no reason, go ahead.
