I am preparing a series of lessons on the supposed increase in flood

Trendy geography this, even if I am unconvinced about its efficacy.

Does any one amongst the iluuminaries of the esteemed members of this
newsgroup have any links to articles and papers that may help me
stimulate and educate the *eager students at Bablake please?

Try Philip Eden's book "Great British Weather Disasters". Better to
present your students with something written by a climatologist,
instead of someone on Wiki.
The way Phil dissects the "unprecedented" weather of many recent
weather events, including floods, with a barrage of actual evidence is
quite superb and will make your students think twice before accepting
some of the wilder claims and hand-washing when an agency makes a
complet ******** of disaster planning.
