It's generally local events. I remember some time ago when the north pole got so warm that the polar vortex collapsed and ice cold polar weather spread south across the central US, leading to blizzards in Texas.
That may have been record cold in Texas, but it was caused by record heat on the north pole. But people experience local extremes much more than global extremes, which are generally just statistics. And more people live in Texas than on the North Pole.
