Yup, they're still at it..
And while none of these events can be directly attributed to climate change, extreme rains are happening more frequently in many parts of the U.S. and that trend is expected to continue as the Earth continues to warm.

Angel Portillo doesn't think about climate change much. It's not that he doesn't care. He's just got other things to worry about. Climate change seems so far away, so big.
Lately though, Portillo says he's been thinking about it more often.
Standing on the banks of a swollen and surging Arkansas River, just upriver from a cluster of flooded businesses and homes, it's easy to see why.
"Stuff like this," he says, nodding at the frothy brown waters, "all of the tornadoes that have been happening - it just doesn't seem like a coincidence, you know?"
A string of natural disasters has hit the central U.S. in recent weeks. Tornadoes have devastated communities, tearing up trees and homes. Record rainfall has prevented countless farmers in America's breadbasket from planting crops. Rising rivers continue to flood fields, inundate homes and threaten aging levees from Iowa to Mississippi.
And while none of these events can be directly attributed to climate change, extreme rains are happening more frequently in many parts of the U.S. and that trend is expected to continue as the Earth continues to warm.
For many of the people living in the affected areas, the connection feels clear.

And then An-hell had to stop talking, because because talking interferes with his breathing...
Oh yes, we really need to apologize to this man who, IIRC, predicted that the polar ice caps were to have been gone by now.
When I lived in Garden City, KS the Arkansas was dry most of the time. BTW, in Kansas they pronounce it Ar-Kansas with emphasis on the second part.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! These useful idiots are actually worse than the frauds perpetrating this scam. At least we know what the frauds are going after -self-enrichment and more power. What are these useful idiots blathering on for?
We had record snows here in southwest Colorado and now the sun is melting the snow and we have high water in the rivers and creeks. Warm weather in the month of June our “climate change”.
Just think, our tax dollars fund this tripe from npr.
Our tax dollars partially fund these morons at NPR:
The term “100-year flood” is used in an attempt to simplify the definition of a flood that statistically has a 1-percent chance of occurring in any given year. Likewise, the term “100-year storm” is used to define a rainfall event that statistically has this same 1-percent chance of occurring.

Al Gore says there will be natural disasters and presto! Natural disasters. How does he do it?
None of their models predicted increased rainfall. Only the one about Grand Solar Minimum which predicted increased rain due to increase in cosmic rays that effectively seed the clouds. Cosmic rays increase because the sun is weaker and not keeping them at bay.
Its called the return of El Nino.
Sorry you’re a dumbass Al.
The 1916 Hatfield Flood of San Diego, California, destroyed the Sweetwater and Lower Otay Dams, and caused 22 deaths and $4.5 million in damages
. The Vermont flood of 1927 is probably the worst flood in Vermont history doing $30 million in damages, which would be $270 million today, killed over 83 people and left 9,000 homeless.
The Ohio River flood of 1937 took place in late January and February 1937. With damage stretching from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Illinois, one million were left homeless, with 385 dead and property losses reaching $500 million. In 1957, storm surge flooding from Hurricane Audrey killed about 400 people in southwest Louisiana.
In 1965, Hurricane Betsy flooded large areas of New Orleans, Louisiana, for up to 10 days, drowning around 40 people.
In 1972, the Black Hills flood killed 238 people and caused $160 million of damage in western South Dakota.
In 1983, the Pacific Northwest saw one of their worst winter floods, And some of the Northwest states saw their wettest winter yet. The damage was estimated at $1.1 billion.
In Alaska from May to September 1992 unusually wet conditions, plus snow melt, caused the 100 year flood in areas of Alaska.
The Great Flood of 1993 was one of the most destructive floods in United States history.
On 8 May 1995, a flood hit Louisiana and caused extensive damage.
The Red River Flood of 1997 occurred in April and May 1997 along the Red River of the North in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba (Canada). It was the most severe flooding of the river since 1826.
So where does this one rank?
Of all of the hoaxes and frauds in history, this was the only one I can find that was still able to make money after it was exposed. Nobody owes the sex poodle squat.
LOL.
Apparently, this is the first year we’ve ever had floods. Who knew?
HA HA...
over my dead body.
Horse shit
