Prof, do you think that countries near equator will experience extreme weather conditions like tornado? Weather of four seasonal countries will eventually become weather as in countries near equator, or not?

ABSOLUTELY! THIS IS BECAUSE EQUATORIAL REGIONS WILL GET HOTTER. HOTTER MEANS MORE SOLAR ENERGY TO HEAT THE LAND AND SEA. MORE ENERGY MEANS MORE EVAPORATION AND MORE CLOUDS AND MORE THUNDERSTORMS AND MORE STRONG WINDS. ALSO, TEMPERATE COUNTRIES LIKE JAPAN AND CHINA MAY BECOME HOTTER BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT OF BECOMING TROPICAL COUNTRIES.

Due to location in different latitude and the angle of sun, global climate will still getting hotter but will not be equal. Difference in air density and air temperature will still occur and create tornadoes or storms. Correct or not?
