"It would be wrong to deny the possible impact of climate change on flooding because if we (waited for more) statistical proof it may be too late," said Wolfgang Grabs at the World Meteorological Organisation of the United Nations.

More media/science hype blaming climate change.

Headline may better read "Floods force many to face reality, history repeats itself as earth continues journey thru time."

A few examples of June & July Monthly England & Wales precipitation recordsâ;¦

1776 June â;; 109", July- 101"

1767 June â;; 48", July â;; 148"

1775 July â;; 158"

1816 July â;; 152"

1888 July â;; 158"

2007 June â;; 152"

and there's much more of the same. Check it out for yourself @ http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/hadleycent...

Back in 1775 they were probably growing potatoes where people now wish to liveâ;¦ in flood plains. At least they're adapting, as humans will do.
