Context is missing for much of this.
Example
"The deadliest U.S. hurricane in recorded history killed an estimated 8-12,000 people in Galveston in 1900. As a comparison, the death toll of the category five Hurricane Ian, which deluged much of Florida in 2022 with a storm surge as high as Galveston, was just 156."

We have much better infrastructure/warning systems/healthcare than we did over 120 years ago. Comparing deaths isn't giving you proper context.

"Heatwaves over large areas of Europe, Australia and Asia have probably become more frequent, with droughts more intense and/or longer in many regions since the 1970s [3]. Severe heatwaves, such as the one in Europe in 2003 [28,74–76], Australia in 2009, Russia in 2010 [77–79] and the USA in 2010/2011"

' Since the 1950s, heavy precipitation events have probably increased in frequency over land globally, especially over North America and Europe, while confidence in heavy precipitation over other land areas was only medium [3]. A shift to more extreme precipitation patterns with more heavy rainfall and longer dry intervals [65] has been shown to decrease the rain use efficiency across biomes. This is most pronounced for arid grasslands and Mediterranean forests (16–20%), due to higher water stress conditions and reduced vegetation production"

"Globally, a decrease in the number of cold days and nights is considered very likely, while the number of warm days and nights increased. Regional variations exist, with Europe and Asia exhibiting especially pronounced decreases in cold nights [40–42]. For North America, it is projected that the total area experiencing freezing days will contract by approximately 6% by 2070, with the number of freezing days declining by 10–90 days depending on the region [43]. It has been shown for the USA [44,45], Australia [46] and Europe [47] that the ratio of daily record high temperatures to daily record low temperatures has been increasing, with the average for the first decade of the twenty-first century for these regions being about two to one (i.e. two daily record highs are set for every one daily record low)."
