No, any layman can easily construct a reasonable sounding explanation tying any of these odd patterns to climate change.

It doesn’t matter whether or not they are actually caused by climate change.

It’s a level of annoying to me similar to when my dad uses a cold winter as evidence that there is no warming going on.

Except increased rainfall is actually linked by scientists to global warming.

Are they using the same models that also predict colder winters, hotter summers, and more droughts?

I feel like everyones making different assumptions when building their climate models, so you end up with a model that show more intense A & B but not C, and than another model showing more intense A & C but no change in B, and a third mentions only a change in B and something about D, but by the time it makes it to the general populace the only thing anyone sees is that climate change is causing A, B, C, D, E, and F. Not to their fault, but with complex models like climate, a small change can butterfly wildly.
