For tornadoes the recorded history is only 60 years old

Exactly. Far too short to support your conclusions.

And if your going to use it anyway, until recently we had the longest span without an F5 or EF5 tornado since that history started. We have an uptick in such violent tornadoes being recorded now, after going through a downturn.

And even if we are seeing more tornadoes, tornadoes are bit a sign of global warming.

I don't know what you're saying here.


There is some evidence that cooler weather would cause more tornadoes. That's not solidly proven, but the point is there is no strongly supported link between more tornadoes and global warming. Hurricanes might more reasonably be connected to global warming, there is some theory that suggests warmer temperatures would cause more storms and more severe storms, but even here the evidence is not very solid, your have theory, without much concrete data backing it up.
