These kind of events are also increasing in frequency as the climate continues to warm, Graham says:

In contrast, warming reaches 1.5 °C and stays above 1 °C until after 2400 if emissions continue to increase until 2030, even though fossil fuel emissions are phased out rapidly (5 % / year) after 2030 and 100 GtC reforestation occurs during 2030 — 2080.

CO2 emissions in particular continue to increase at a rapid rate; ii) the effect of these gases is to warm the climate and it is very likely that most of the warming over the last 50 years was in fact driven by these increases; and iii) the sensitivity of the climate is very likely large enough that serious consequences can be expected if carbon emissions continue on this path.
