Yeah, even if these are still freak events on the edge of the bell curve - they only need to happen once to kill huge numbers of people.
And we are shifting and broadening that bell curve.

One of the most annoying and ignorant dismissals of climate change you can hear from denialists in Canada is "oh it won't be so bad for us, we could really use the warmer weather up here in Canada lol". Maybe these events will get them to understand that no, it won't be beneficial for us at all, but I've already seen comments elsewhere on the internet that are questioning the accuracy of the reports. Stating things like that weather station has been having "problems" in the past. It sounded so much like the covid and election conspiracies I wanted to scream. If people can't or won't trust in scientists or the institutions that are the foundation for our countries, how will we make any progress addressing climate change?
You can always ask them if they're also looking forward to dozens of millions of climate migrants from South East Asia, Latin America, and Africa, once those places become warmer. Emphasize that those migrants would move into their province or town.
