Earth is profoundly effected by the heating of it's troposphere. The atmospheres of Earth are fluid. They are gaseous and fluid. That does not mean it does not have weight and influence. The troposphere has a great deal of influence over the lives of people.
Sea level pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. That means a column of air going upward brings about its force of weight. Air has volume and depending on the gases in that volume it carries weight. When that weight starts moving it is a force to contend with and in the case of a hot Earth it is moving a lot due to temperature changes and water content.
The localization of rain causing flooding it due to the fact the jet stream is not normal.
This is the jet stream as it is right now.

The jet stream is about 7 miles above Earth and the mph in the map is taking place in the higher altitudes. That will translate to movement within the lower atmospheres as well.
Needless to say the jet stream is not helpful to achieve normal weather. Today, across the world, the movement of air is abnormal. Depending on the wind and how it is acting on the surface a rain storm can remain stationary for a long period of time. The SAME WEATHER PATTERN stays in place because of the repeating sameness of the air as it is effected by temperature. It isn't the same air that is causing the problem, it is that the weather pattern is the same movement of the air bringing repeated storms.
In realizing the sameness in the weather patterns it is then understandable how drought can occur. It can be flooding in one area of a continent while it is blazing hot without rain on the same continent.
The oceans and their waves are a different pattern of sameness. As the wind rolls across the air-surface interface it is between two fluid bodies of Earth. The liquid water of the oceans move according to the wind, but, that also translates into the waters immediately below the surface. The ocean then is reacting not only to the surface with the air, but, any translated movement in the water. Oceans contain their movement for longer periods of times simply because the movement is within a far larger and heavier body of fluid.
Dropping a pebble in a puddle results in movement of the water far beyond where the pebble landed. Because the body that provided the motion in the first place has stopped doesn't stop the motion of the water.
Winds can sustain and water reacts accordingly. Sea level rise provides more surface to Earth's ocean and not less. The more surface the wind has to act on the greater the turbulence of the oceans.
There is also greater surface area to provide water vapor to the air as it evaporates.
Global warming is not a good idea whereby oil rigs can now drill into the Arctic Ocean and travel through the north ship route. The heat of the troposphere and the translation of the movement of hot air is not conducive to cooperation for oil rigs. Simplicity of thought is not at work in understanding Earth's physics.
