Weather Happens

Remember learning there was a Dust Bowl in the early 1930s? The drought lasted for several years, made a mess, ruined many farmers and many agribusinesses, caused serious internal population migration, and then disappeared.

Heck, that's not so terribly long ago, elderly people still alive remember it. It was worse than what we are suffering now, but nobody said much about climate change. Weather happens, and it is often extreme.
