We've had these types of storms before, global warming or no global warming. Climate is variable, and always has been so, and will always be. What have made "climate change" affect people's thinking are: 1. there is a greater population now than there ever was 2. Communications are greater now than ever before (how many people in the world knew of the great UK storm in Oct 1988?) 3. more people are living in places where there were no people before, because those areas that were previously demarcated as being unsuitable due to past floods or were demarcated for agriculture and forests are now being targetted for new homes for people. Classic case is the banks of the winding river in Brisbane, which until some ten years ago, were not permitted by planning authorities to be built upon; "Climate Change" advisors predicted that Australia was in a permanent drought, so the planners gave permission for housing to be built. Then came the heavy rains... 4. modern humans, as a result of insulated living,have forgotten how nature behaves. Aborigines were asked why they left their places before the Brisbane floods - their reply was "the birds took off, so we went away to higher ground; we returned when we saw the birds coming back". People must learn to go with the flow (adapt), rather than fight "climate change". Remember, there were famines and floods recorded since time immemorial, in ancient books of more than one culture. I won't go into explanations as to why these things happen. Remember what this planet is made up of, and how induction heating works (at least that is my theory). Gabriel.
