It’s certainly an issue, but in a complex system, you’ll never be able to pinpoint a single cause with a full evidence chain. It will never be possible to link a specific weather incident to climate change, like you could never directly link a single lung cancer case directly to smoking.
But what had pretty certainly been established is that climate change increases weather extremes.
This might be correlation, but there’s a plausible mechanism how increasing temperatures increases extreme rainfall: a warmer atmosphere holds more water. And for all the other examples, they also explain what’s the pathway from climate change to effect - warmer winters make more larvae survive, overwhelming the trees,…
If that kind of reporting helps climate deniers, no reporting is possible and all is lost.
