Climate change can make some of these disasters more intense and more frequent. It's important to remember there was extreme weather before climate change... But it's just that the likelihood of extremes has changed, and the likelihood of these types of events occurring is greater.
Climate is variable, the weather is variable; we expect there to be extremes. But the likelihood of extremes has changed, and the likelihood of these events occurring is greater.
Hurricanes rely on a warm ocean to form. Beryl, occurring unusually early in the season, is entirely consistent with climate change stacking the dice in favor of such events.
