Default Weather extremes caused by gloal warming

In article ,
Alastair McDonald writes:
The world has suffered from severe regional weather extremes in
recent years, such as the heat wave in the United States in 2011 or
the one in Russia 2010 coinciding with the unprecedented Pakistan
flood.

From a British perspective, there's an interesting article in this
month's "Weather" about the North Sea storm surge in the winter of 1953
which led to extensive flooding in coastal areas and considerable loss
of life. The article goes off on an interesting tangent in the
introduction, suggesting that there were just as many if not more severe
weather events in Britain between 1947 and 1953 as there were between
2006 and 2012 (though perhaps rather fewer extreme months). Of course
Britain is not the world, and if you looked at the global picture it
might be very different.
