  To be fair, the chances of those events increasing in that way are pretty slim, even according to climate science.

  Wildfires are getting worse because we've completely messed up forest management. Tropical storms are getting worse because we keep building in vulnerable areas and destroying all the swampland that can actually buffer the storm. We haven't had accurate weather measurements long enough to know what is and isn't an abnormal heat wave. Sea levels move around quite a bit in the long term, which is why they always find remnants of fishing villages under water or up away from shore. The world isn't static, and pretending that it is often causes more harm than good.
