Unless of course it suits your argument's needs, in which case weather can be climate.
I think I got it now...

Faie enough although "extreme weather" can stem from abrupt climate change. Although humans will survive environmental change the unprecedented increasing rate of change over the last century indicates the increasing change will make it difficult for certain populations to adapt easily

Rising sea levels amplify the threat and magnitude of storm surges in coastal areas. Water infrastructure, often located along the coast or tidally-influenced water bodies, can be vulnerable to greater changes in storm surge intensity. The threat of flooding and damage to water infrastructure will continue to increase over time as sea levels rise and the magnitude of storms increase.
