This post is wrong as it downplays the severity of individual events and only focusses on global ones.
Last year's floods in Pakistan that displaced millions (barely reported on in the west) were such a local event.
Saying "oh, this is fine, because somewhere else the weather was mild" is disturbing.
The whole reason why climate change is so problematic is that the change in the global indicators will cause many many "individual weather perturbations", as you call them, which will displaced millions and disrupt supply chains.
The fact that there is some mild weather event somewhere else doesn't offset these negative effects in any way!
It is not mock science!
The strongest and most accurate evidence for global climate change are GLOBAL indicators, such as sea level rise, global average temperatures, etc...
Every weather event you list, can probably be countered with a mild weather event somewhere else. It's mock science, and it's the most obvious sign of hyperbole.
