As for flooding, we've had two floods blowing past 25 year flood marks within 2 years of each other. You can't necessarily prove its caused by climate change (just like how you can't prove a specific case of cancer was caused by that person smoking), but its the kind of event that's only going to get more common.
Part of the climate emergency response should be taking steps to protect against flooding.

This article is a good read. Climate change in and of itself is really just a bit player in our high speed efforts to completely rupture this beautiful planet:
