John Silver is correct in putting double quotes around extreme climate change in the google search box. The way you have it, Google will also search for all three words separately toward the end of the list of results so the 24.6 million hits is a huge misnomer. Always put words in double quotes so you get more accurate results. You could also do a search such as “climate change” +extreme. This will search for the phrase climate change as well as the word extreme somewhere in the article’s text.
Also, since you’re talking about headlines, you should probably do the search at news.google.com for news stories containing your keywords. 🙂
Yes, but:

Look at the top hits, they include :
‘climate change for extreme weather’
which wouldn’t hit if you used quotes.
