It's a little bit more complicated than that. The primary "extreme weather" predictions I remember from 20 years ago was more hurricanes. We do seem to observe and name more hurricanes (in part, at least, due to much better weather equipment), but fewer hurricanes have made landfall in the United States. https://www.statista.com/statistics/621238/number-of-hurricanes-that-made-landfall-in-the-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/621238/number-of-hurrica.... Other extreme weather statistics are similar - we spend a lot of time talking about polar vortexes (vertices?), but many of the cold records are from back in the 1930s. I don't doubt that the world's temperature is rising, but I continue to view the extreme weather predictions as fairly speculative and a distraction from the core issues - temperature rising, ice melting, sea level rising, with unpredictable effects. If you had some more academic (and less click-funded) sources to share related to data demonstrating the extreme weather hypothesis, I'd be interested in taking a look.
