Can you point to some graphs/data to support your claim regarding more extreme weather? There doesn't seem to be much actual evidence of that according to https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-tropical-cyclone-activity https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indica... which says:
Despite the apparent increases in tropical cyclone
activity in recent years, shown in Figures 2 and 3,
changes in observation methods over time make it
difficult to know whether tropical storm activity has
actually shown an increase over time.
And this survey (https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/trends-in-extreme-weather-events-since-1900--an-enduring-conundrum-for-wise-policy-advice-2167-0587-1000155.php?aid=69558 https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/trends-in-extreme-we...) says
It is therefore surprising to discover that by all the
various real world data considered here, the weather in
the first half of the 20th century was, if anything,
more extreme than in the second half. I have not found
any data, including in SREX, that contradicts these
trends. Furthermore there are no signs of this trend
changing (i.e. lessening and reversing) in recent years."
- chimprich 8y agoSure. This seems like a good summary: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-guide/climate/what-affects-climate/extreme-weather https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate-guide/climate/what-affe... One of your links refers to hurricane activity, where there seems to be less evidence of links with climate change.
