Politicize natural disasters or not, one thing for sure is: nobody is going to change their mind on climate change.  Those deny it will say there are hurricanes and forest fires since the dawn of time, and sea level rise?, natural shoreline corrosion and natural 'cycle'.  Those believe it will draw relation of all these to climate change.  We are in a society now each talk in echo chamber and/or talk past each other, amplified multiple times a day and speed through cyberspace and reach far corners of the World unimaginable even 20 years ago.   The fractures of opinion and divide, even facts grow, ironic of our information age.
