"I get it," Hayhoe said. "It's a psychological reaction to the genuine fear that people feel when they start to understand the magnitude of this problem."
Others sought to take their grievances to court. As of today, there are 2,176 climate-related lawsuits in play across the world, including 654 filed in U.S. courtrooms, according to the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University.in calculating exactly how much a country's activity may have contributed to climate change – and to specific disasters. This line of argument, referred to as "climate attribution science," made its way into more courtrooms.

WTF does that mean? 'Climate-linked'? All floods and hurricanes are natural.
No. Don't confuse weather phenomena for climate change. Climate changes naturally. Climate is generally considered what the average weather is over a 30 year span. Many natural climate cycles operate within such a period of time, which means weather varies in everyone's lifetime.
Can you just invent a vaccine that will convince people that it’s solved, you know what I mean, like the covid vaccines are to stop the spread 😉
The planet has its own cycles and they are more powerful and determining than our insignificant actions. The planet needs to up and down temperatures. Humans are living in the short period of time the planet allows them to live. There's nothing we can do about it.
None of these are more frequent. Inflation may be driving up losses (along w more people living in high risk areas), but that’s not climate.
Horseshit.
