Even Warmist Fed Climate Report Reveals Extreme Weather Declining/No Trends

Dr. Roger Pielke on The US National Climate Assessment and Weather Extremes:

Drought: “drought statistics over the entire CONUS have declined … no detectable change in meteorological drought at the global scale”

Hurricanes: “there is still low confidence that any reported long-term (multidecadal to centennial) increases in TC activity are robust”

“IPCC AR5 did not attribute changes in flooding to anthropogenic influence nor report detectable changes in flooding magnitude, duration, or frequency”

In the US “”increasing & decreasing flooding magnitude but does not provide robust evidence that these trends are attributable to human influences… no formal attribution of observed flooding changes to anthropogenic forcing has been claimed"

The data says what it says. There is precious little evidence that extremes have become worse in the US since at least 1900, with the exception of more winter storms since 1950 and overall fewer cold spells. Attribution is weak to nonexistent.
