On what basis do you claim that human caused climate change is real and significant? I haven’t seen any evidence that human caused change can be distinguished from any other cause. In fact, the most recent articles indicate that the attribution methodology typically used is not valid, which would indicate there is no way to distinguish human caused from other causes.
It is clear from the evening news that the news media is amplifying this issue when they try to scare everyone with the weather updates over the past 24 hours. This adds to a further misunderstanding of the issue and mistrust of institutions, neither of which advances the ball. More harm then good.

It’s a fair question, and one I hear a lot
It is also the focus of Chapter 1 of The Climate Fix https://open.substack.com/pub/rogerpielkejr/p/pielkes-weekly-memo-23

I suppose a point is all these things in this series being a given why does the IPCC allow this continual misreporting of its position.
I live near Kansas City. The official records for high and low temperatures by day are:
June: 0 record highs in the 2000s*, 5 record lows *2000 through 2022
July: 3 record highs, 11 record lows
August: 6 record highs, 9 record lows
September: 2 record highs, 4 record lows
Totals: 11 record highs, 29 record lows.
And on October 18, 2022, Kansas City had an all-time record low for the date of 25 F. The previous record was 28 F.
Do the 70s, and 80s. And dont look for highs. Look for strings of 100+ days.
I remember in the 60s when it was above 100 many days in the summer
