CO2 from man in the atmosphere has had a tiny amount of increase in global temperatures....but the theory that it is a catalyst for catastrophic global warming is dubious at best, and arguably been debunked by a nearly 20 year "pause" (which is generous spin on not really understanding what is happening, but for some reason people continue to accept their predictions as "settled science").
Increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes has NOT been shown as being attributable to global warming (a rare admission). The IPCC and many top scientists have said this, but it doesn't stop the fake news media from claiming it. Increased drought is also dubious. Antartica ice shelf is also in contention, with a recent paper on some of the instability/melting on the western shelf possibly attributable to underlying volcanic activity. If anything in the OP refllects an actual consensus of scientists, it would be the OPPOSITE of the claims made.
You guys should really trying reading some of the research from skeptics (a.k.a "deniers") highlighted in places like WattsUpWithThat (which the mainstream media completely ignores), and also from Roy Spencer, whom has been attacked and vilified but is a leading researcher - an authority - on ATTRIBUTION of global warming causes. He also is or was the lead maintainer of the global satellite temperature record (which is interesting in itself, because it doesn't exactly confirm the ground temperature "records" which are constantly being adjusted, usually lower).
Steve Koonin, former Energy Dept. Undersecretary of Science in the Obama Administration, also has some interesting views. Here's his take on the recent report cited in the OP:

No one really denies man has likely had a small impact on warming (one that could actually be beneficial). But more than a few out there disagree with the global warming alarmism as based-off bad science driven by agendas.
