These storms are just normal. The kind of thing we get every 50 or 100



years. The kind of thing that created the flood plains in the first

Storms can create floods, but they can't create flood plains. Those were



created by geomorphology.





If you want to be really pedantic a flood plain IS geomorphology, as is

an other change of the land. Anyway, that's digressing from the topic.



When someone makes such a blatantly wrong claim that storms create flood

plains, it throws doubt on everything else they have claimed.


Oh yes, I forgot, floods don't come from heavy rain, which doesn't come fro rain storms. How silly of me.





And now you've become even more ridiculous by saying that "a flood plain

IS geomorphology". For your enlightenment, the ending '-ology' means

'the study of', while 'geo' and 'morph' are, respectively, 'earth' and

'form'.


Well well, he actually knows the meaning of the term he used. Can you explain your statement then "flood plains ... were created by geomorphology". Did the study of how the earth changes create flood plains? No doubt rain had nothing to do with it. It was all those scholars wandering about the banks of rivers treading the ground flat!


And don't pretend this is pedantry. If you can't get the basics right,

then why should anyone believe anything else you write?



Ah I see, its the old. "I cant refute a single thing you say about GW and feedbacks so I will pretend you have made an error, by saying storms create rain which creates floods, and then try to switch the subject to ancient greek" avoidance technique.


Its not gong to wash Malcom, I have had far too much experience dealing with the likes of Garvey to fall for that lame crap.


Now answer the point. If you can. WV is not appositive feedback, dangerous climate change doesn't happen till we reach at least 1 or 2 C, and therefore the recent storms can not be due to CO2.

Hmm? Can you do that rather than avoid it?
