Wetter & Stickier Earth: Does it mean more tornadoes?

I was just reading this article in the news. A study published in the journal Nature has concluded that global warming is increasing the humidity of the planet. Now I don't want to debate that (global warming) because that can go on forever. I am however curious if this is the reason why reports of tornadoes in areas that don't usually have this phenomena is increasing?

Anyway, here's are links to the articles:

Earth getting wetter and stickier
Global Warming May Make Humidity Worse

So, any thoughts?

Interesting spin on recent tornadoes in out of the ordinary places.

The below link explains that the hows and why of tornado formation is quite a complex matter. Almost by chance that all the right ingrediants get together. Yes humidity does play a role in formation too.

Whether it's global warming or the price on peanuts is anybodies guess.

The one thing we are fairly certain of at this time is that large low-level humidity (as evidenced by low LCLs) is protective of the supercell and promotes tornado formation, most likely by inhibiting cold pool formation. In drier environments, we feel it is quiet likely that storms must have a lack of precipitation near the updraft, but this is a complicated issue.
