Yes; the type, frequency and intensity of extreme events are expected to change as Earth’s climate changes, and these changes could occur even with relatively small mean climate changes. Changes in some types of extreme events have already been observed, for example, increases in the frequency and intensity of heat waves and heavy precipitation events.
Yes. most of them are directly related with climatic changes. However, some of them, e.g., heat waves in urban region, should be a result from human activity in a more larger degree.
Of course. climate changes and its related phenomena are part of human activities. the whole thing is a dynamic system being affected and affecting back with ongoing activities. it is just different in degree of effect and the location depending on the intense of the pressure on that system.
