How? I can hear how it affects the effects of a storm on the population, but how does it affect the frequency of the occurrences?
Over the past 10-15 years, we have experienced an eastern shift in severe convective storms but it is with low confidence that it’s due to climate change. Population growth & deforestation can impact climate.

Aoc says forest fires are proof of global warming. I agree those huge fires are literally baking the world.
Forest fires are part of nature. Excessive forest fires are due to bad forest management.
I heard this morning on Bloomberg a meteorologist saying that the last time something like this (magnitude, spread) occurred was about 280 years ago. I don't think anyone can claim man-made global warming then.
I was a skeptic until the actuaries came along and put their (customer's) money where their mouth is.https://www.wsj.com/articles/home-insurers-curb-new-policies-in-risky-areas-nationally-c93abac0?mod=hp_lead_pos10
