Here is the August 2021 National Academies of Science finding that "Global warming is contributing to extreme weather events." https://www.nationalacademies.org/based-on-science/climate-change-global-warming-is-contributing-to-extreme-weather-events
Mike cites an excellent paper but, contrary to his assertion, the paper did not analyze the effects of increasing carbon dioxide and temperature on extreme weather events. Figure 1 of the paper actually shows that severe events have been increasing over the last 2.5 decades. The paper also shows that wealthy populations are better able to protect themselves from these increasing severe events than are less-wealthy and poor populations. The paper suggests, "that poorer countries remain particularly vulnerable to these hazards and that huge investments or changes in these societies may be needed to further reduce their vulnerability to them." This finding illuminates global environmental injustice and the need for affluent societies to do more to help protect vulnerable societies from the hazards of our warming climate.
