Are you writing from e.g. 2008? In 2010 Russian forest fires caused grain shortages and the price to go up, creating the Arab Spring and including the start of the Syrian civil war. That caused a wave of refugees that peaked in 2015. That caused the rise of right wing racist populism in Europe...

In that instance climate change (probably?) played a role, but that is unfortunately not obvious enough to reach the people who are not already concerned about climate change. Millions migrating from India somewhere else because there is no water or wet bulb temperatures become deadly hopefully would cause more people to notice.

That will be the case, ie. cognitive dissonance / denial, for many future climate change caused incidents as well.

This kind of reasoning: "California wildfires and tornadoes have always been part of the US weather patterns"

Whilst ignoring the increasing frequency and magnitude / intensity.

In California wildfires, how do you separate climate related effects from the effects the invasive gumtree problem?

Gumtree forests tend to need more frequent low intensity burns to clear fuel build up, which Australian Aboriginals used to manage.
