And that is what I disagree with. There is no evidence of this. None. It hasn't been happening, and the mechanism for it happening hasn't been explained, other than a vague "warmer weather means more storms" which there has been no evidence of.
This is going way off topic, but these myths like increasing tornado activity:
NOAA's own words...

The bar charts below indicate there has been little trend in the frequency of the stronger tornadoes over the past 55 years.

And hurricanes, spoiler'd for big image, but no trend here either.
When you look at the actual facts, instead of the rhetoric, you see that a lot of these predictions and claims are false. Sadly real science has taken a kick in the balls in the climate change arena, and it can be hard to find the facts. There is lots about climate change that is well researched, and real, I'm not denying that. But there is so much hogwash that gets thrown around, I think it does real damage to having the public trust scientists to lead policy.
Much of it falls on the media for sexy headlines, avoiding the realty where a scientist may say something like "we don't know for sure, but we think there may be more violent storms in the future, but there is no evidence yet" gets reported as "violent storms from a warming climate will kill us all!"
