Hurricanes are not getting more frequent or violent because of climate change though. They are likely to become more rare with increasing temperature in the northern hemisphere because of even temperatures in the weather systems.
Lex Friedman ep 339 does a good job explaining the difference between more and severe weather and people settling down in huge numbers in already exposed areas.
We had a huge rainfall in Norway last year submerging a lot of properties. People said this was unprecedented and because of climate change. Only issue is that we have historical data on earlier floods, and people had settled down below the markings of earlier floods more than 100 years ago. The issue is not climate change, but regulating properties on a patch of land you know with 100% certainty will get flooded again.
You know how matter changes from solid to liquid to gas at certain points? I believe there are phase changes in ecology and environmental habitability and sometimes things seem fine and suddenly they aren’t.
At the risk of sounding prejudiced and offensive, the norse are a very smart and sexy group of people, so perhaps I am wrong in not accepting your illogical and sexy perspective?
I just think 1 variable of change is not the correct barometer of “how close are we to the ecological abyss?”
