Climate change?

This is Joseph.

It's not funny but it really strikes me how extreme weather events keep piling up. There is a topical storm about to hit Los Angeles. Maui is burning, and even without the missing people it is the deadliest wildfire in a century. Canada is evacuating the capital of the Northwest territories as fires close in.  

I know that this is weather and not climate, but surprisingly small changes in the mean temperature can produce a lot more outlier events and I wonder if that is what we are seeing as we head into a "weather exciting" weekend in August?
