Are storms, including tornados, gradually moving further north in the U.S.A. as the climate warms? Summertime?

Update:

Including southern Canada?

    Well tornadoes have always been in the northern US. I am 62 years old and live in Michigan. Our tornado season is from April to September and has been since before I was born.

    Now climate change may make temperature changes somewhat unpredictable and this may lead to an increase in tornadoes in many parts of the country. I suspect the recent tornadoes in Indiana and Kentucky may well be linked to climate change, partly due to the mild winter we have been experiencing.

    I remember learning as a child that tornadoes often have winds in excess of 60 mph but these two were 144 and 20 mph respectively. That is serious wind. It is a shame that so many lost their lives in these storms.

    As what climate warms?

    The figures show no warming since 1997

    Well it's all based on the seasons. In the Summer more storms are able to form because of the high amount of humidity. Also, the jet stream has a lot to do with it.

    There is no man-made Global Warming. While it's true the planet has warmed a little over the past several decades, none of it was due to human activity. Some of the world's top climate scientists appear in the videos below and explain the whole scam.

    They are just as random as they were a hundred years ago. Read "Little House on the Prairie"
