Is the latest rainfall event really unprescedented? Particularly
interested in whether there have been similar summer events in terms of
both spatial area of rainfall combined with magnitude of the rain. Media/
politicians are too keen to add recent events to the GW bandwagon,
conveniently ignoring the point that with GW our summers are supposed to
get drier, as far as I understand it. I thought the extreme rain events
would be autumn/winter synoptic scale events such as those in 2000, not
summer synoptic scale. Attributing the latest events also to GW makes me
increasingly lose faith in the GW science.


I don't recall anyone attributing the recent flooding to GW. Even if they
did, just because some people misunderstand the science doesn't mean the
science is wrong.
