I think you may be listening to too many academics anxious for a grant.
Here are the actual numbers going back to 1950.  Low strength tornado 
reports have increased due to the recent introduction of Doppler radar 
but for the biggies that would likely have been reported even without 
Doppler radar absolutely nothing unusual has been going on despite some 
moderate warming over that period.  If anything perhaps a slight 
decrease but not likely statistically significant.
