"They cannot be tracked separately. "
I beg to differ...they can and they are.

"Liz agrees with me,"   lol . from your post.
 "Changes in extreme weather and climate events, such as heat waves and droughts, are the primary way that most people experience climate change"
" Human-induced climate change has already increased the number and strength of some of these extreme events. "
from Liz Muller ,"but much of what is reported as ‘climate change’ is exaggerated. Headlines that claim storms, droughts, floods, and temperature variability are increasing, are not based on normal scientific standards. "
What part of this statement do you not understand? 
And she ends with ""It is certainly true that the impacts of global warming are still too subtle for most people to notice in their everyday lives.” 
This is too easy..lol.
