I'd be particularly interested in how you
feel GW and CO2 produced the excessive rain.

If you don't know the linkages between excess retained heat energy and
evaporation-precipitation by now you never will.

There is more HEAT ENERGY in the global systen as CO2 rises. No
arguing this point is tolerated at this late date.

I'm asking for definitive proof of the role it played in THIS
event. No hand-waving. No scary stories. Just some facts. Prove what
you are saying.

You can't prove a negative, Alastair. Please note that I
haven't said it hasn't played a role. I have said that there is
absolutely no way for you to define in any quantitative way the extent
of its role. Given that, making strident claims that it is the
proximate cause is just silly.
