eli5: I know that these most recent severe storms and disasters are undoubtedly a result of worsening climate change, but as a non-science person I don’t understand exactly how/why.

Slightly more in depth answer I recently read about: while warm surface water fuels hurricanes, as others have said, cooler deeper water caps that ceiling. With climate change, the deeper water isn’t as cool as it used to be so there is less of a limit to the hurricane’s strength. the fuel isn’t just stronger, but there’s more of it, so to speak.
