Well said. This is the sort of nuance we're going to need to face these sorts of challenges. I particularly appreciate the clarification about the extent of impact. literally no pundits are discussing this.

We are seeing exactly what you say about intensifying. We’ve had colder colds and hotter hits each year for the last three years to a level they makes you really take notice. I’m in Texas and lived through the massive winter grid failure where many people lost their lives. Even our local weather forecasters are talking about how climate change is making this current heat wave more intense. They are using something called the Climate Shift Index to show how much of the weather intensity is most likely the effect of climate change.
