Abstract
A comparison of tornado frequency in western Canada before and after 1980 suggests that tornado frequency increases (decreases) with positive (negative) mean monthly temperature anomalies. If climate warming occurs due to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the inference that more tornadoes will occur seems reasonable.
