Record rainfall, flooding and storms. Qld has had 2 "once in a hundred year" events in three years.
It's not that severe cold, floods, droughts and fires have never occurred before, it's that they will be more intense and occur more frequently with more energy in the atmospheric system.
The recent (and current) bushfires were (are) so difficult to deal with because of unusually low humidity coupled with high winds. That was made even worse when there was high ambient temps. as well.
You are of at least of average intelligence (you have a university degree ). You should be able to discover what climate science has - and is - actually predicting rather than rely on what is alleged they have predicted from denialist sources.
Ok, so first things, once in a hundred year flood, hmm, how old is the planet?
Just to confirm, is it global warming or Climate change? It seems the goal posts keep switching. Given the planet has warmed something like .4 degree in 16 years (not what the climate models predicted lol) I do not think it is that bad. We have great crops, higher yields etc. Interestingly the weather patterns are still following a good trend. Even better is we are gaining water even though we have had no new dams built and our population here in vic has quadrupled!
Anyway, heads you win, tails I lose, thats climate change right? First it was droughts blah blah blah now its about floods, blah blah blah.
Didn't the leak IPCC report have aa statement saying major weather events have actually decreased not increased and severity is relatively unchanged?
As for the fires, ask any firey and they will tell you, fighting fires in wood lands that have 5-6 years of dead growth build up is near impossible, heaven forbid this actually shows a bit of common sense in why it is bad green policy to allow them to build up so much fuel.
PS: I have seen what climate science has not and is not predicting, all I have seen is changing goal posts, first it was dramatic sea rise, which have not happened, then years of drought and bugger all rain, not much has changed with la nina and el nino cycles so meh, when the preachers start practicing what they preach, I will stand up and listen, until then the fact flannery and all his followers live in coastal towns or on tidal river systems I think there is not much to worry about.
Then ask: Who has the incentive to figure out how the Earth's climate works in an objective way and who has the incentive to obfuscate? Who has the money? Who has the PR departments? Who has the political influence? Here's a hint: it's not the scientists.
Just curious, how much money have governments handed out to "climate science"?
