“Climate change means that catastrophic flooding will only become more common, but experts say the events of the past week highlight the fact that Canada has still not done enough to prepare for such disasters.”

I’m glad I live on the crest of a small hil—-all rain runs away from my house (and over 50 years has taken some of my soil with it in spite of my best efforts).

Warmer air holds more water! It appears flooding is going to cause way more destruction than in the past! We had 3 10+Inch events last year!

Yet still these soulless ghouls, who serve only mammom, persist with their lies and deceit, how come they are the same species as decent people – yuk

“The programme-makers have treated these unfounded allegations with scorn, but the bizarre conspiracy theories have continued to bounce around the echo chamber of climate change denial, with the Global Warming Policy Foundation and its tiny band of fanatical supporters at the centre of the propaganda campaign.”
