Me too and as would any scientist. However, sensibly, no scientist has claimed that the current UK flooding *is* due to climate change.


They have implied it is, as you well know, and the media has picked it up and turned it into an absolute.

Dont you think that unless a scientist had some very firm evidence it was due to CO2 he ought to keep his trap shut?

But no, the clowns at the Met Office come out with their mealymouthed statements about CO2 'being a factor' or it being 'likely' and in so doing give the impression that CO2 is the cause when in fact there is absolutely no evidence at all that it is. Principally because the current rainfall has been exceeded in the past when CO2 can not have been a factor.

Of course I dont expect you to even admit this, you will apply your usual 'all the worlds scientists' line, even though that is palpably wrong. as you have been shown many many times.
