Dust to downpour - weather whiplash:
Such weird chaotic scenario.
Do we need 'experts' to say such extremes are due to climate change? Would ordinary people not able to sense that?
Meanwhile, hurricanes are gathering force in Atlantic Ocean but not landing(?) Predictable..?

Weather events are going to become much harder to predict as they increase in intensity.
The day to day normality may remain but when things get crazy then the rule books and prediction models are out the window.
A new normal of a number of serious weather events happening each year, almost everywhere on the planet show the equilibrium has been thrown off balance with global warming causing a raft of changes humanity has never seen before. Perhaps dinosaurs saw something similar millions of years ago when the planet was younger and less stable.
We have no "go to" experience or records to tell us just how bad it will get but with every degree of increased temperature a whole new range of virus, bacteria and disease can be unleashed not just on humanity but all livestock and animals in the world.
Stability has much going for it, including predictable safety. The times ahead will be much less safe and that is just the weather.
