In context of current increased forcing and in consideration of all relevant natural and forced events and time scale, it is valid to say that this is expected in a warming world.

Scientists have long shied away from attributing any one small - scale event - irrespective of its magnitude - to global warming, reasoning that the complexity and number of factors at play makes it extremely difficult,

So: The study finds a fingerprint of anthropogenic influences on large scale increase in precipitation extremes, with remaining uncertainties — namely that there is still a possibility that the widespread increase in heavy precipitation could be due to an unusual event of natural variability.The intensification of extreme rainfall is expected with warming, and there is a clear physical mechanism for it, but it is never possible to completely separate a signal of external forcing from climate variability — the separation will always be statistical in nature.

But, the parallel warming of the KOE and the Gulf Stream Extension during the transitions from El Niño to La Niña events would help to reduce the KOE scaling factor required to explain the step changes in the adjusted GISS LOTI data.

Large - scale flooding can also occur due to extreme precipitation in the absence of snowmelt (for example, Rush Creek and the Root River, Minnesota, in August 2007 and multiple rivers in southern Minnesota in September 2010).84 These warm - season events are projected to increase in magnitude.

You propose the so - called saw tooth as having it's cause in a massive seismic event that produced decadal scale warming on a planetary scale.

From the Vostok Ice Core, it is clear that the Earth is subjected to many levels of NATURAL «warmings»: JUST one «category «10» warming of 9 + with an ~ 12000y duration every 120,000 y; several category «6» warmings of 5 - 6C peaking ~ every 7500y after each category «10» event; many category «3» warmings of 2 - 3C peaking ~ every 5000y; and a multitude of category «2» warmings of 1 - 2C peaking on decade and century scales.

... «When you hear a phrase like he said, «the highest ever,» you know, «off the charts,» «record setting,» that's a good sign that on top of a whatever local weather patterns there are or regional like El Nino, global warming, fossil fuel driven climate change is putting its finger on the scale and juicing the atmosphere and causing the even bigger weather event than you would have otherwise seen.»

The 25 D - O events during the last glacial, where temperatures rose and fell by 5 to 10 degrees C (10 - 15 degrees C for Greenland) within a span of decades that were «explained by internal variability of the climate system alone ``, deemed global in scale, and they occurred without any changes in CO2 concentrations, which stayed steady at about 180 ppm throughout the warming and cooling.

During the 8.2 k global - scale cooling - warming event, temperatures dropped by multiple degrees and warmed back up again by multiple degrees within a span of just 150 years.

As shown by Coumou et al. (5) and Comou and Robinson (6), the observed long - term increase in frequency of extreme heat events can, on a global scale, be explained purely thermodynamically as a response to a shift in the mean surface temperatures to warmer values.

Di Lorenzo et al. (2010) presents evidence of the unique impacts of Central Pacific (CPAC) El Niño events (i.e., El Niño episodes when the warmest waters are located in the central tropical Pacific) on the Northern Hemisphere atmospheric and oceanic circulation on interannual and decadal time scales.

There's no reason I can think of that long - term and short - term response of the troposphere to warming / cooling events (at least between the scale of a few years to a few decades that's the issue here) would be any different.

Background In a warming world, it is increasingly important for policy development, decision - making and investments at the national and local scale to take into account changing patterns of extreme weather and climate - related events.

More than one - half of the stations showed a significant positive relationship at the daily time scale between warm nights (daily minimum temperature greater than the 90th percentile) or warm days (daily maximum temperature above the 90th percentile) and heavy - precipitation events (daily precipitation exceeding the 75th percentile), with the greater frequencies found for the east and southwest coasts during autumn and winter.

They cite the little ice age in Europe or a localized warming someplace else, leaving out the little fact that localized events mean nothing, that on a global scale the little ice age was matched by a «little warming period» someplace else, and that global temperatures are warming.
