To not understand why this storm is being blamed on climate change

[Bringringbring]

If it was the worst on record, I’d get it.

But this country has suffered some appalling storms in the past

The snow storm of ‘47 when 10ft drifts developed
The ‘53 storm that claimed almost 400 lives
Feb ‘63 - 1 coldest ever recorded of -21
‘76 worst drought ever

Looking worldwide - the worst storm ever recorded was in.... 1900 (Galveston)

Had any of these events occurred today - climate change would be listed by many as their cause. However at the time - there wasn’t a whisper of it.

If storm records were being beaten, I’d “get it.
But there not. And I suppose that’s why I’m struggling to link climate change with storms.

Can anyone enlighten me? Genuine question

Yep, all perfectly normal.

I can't believe this thread. It really makes me despair but at the same time I'm unsurprised. It's all part of the 'had enough of experts ' culture that makes the public (some) think somehow they know better than the vast majority of climate scientists. We now live in a world were a significant and growing number of people think the earth is fucking flat.

I would be there is a bug overlap between climate change deniers, anti vaccination, Leave voters (Farage, Widdicombe etc) and flat earthers.

Moore also identified the real agenda behind the UN climate summit: bringing down industrial civilization.

Anyone who quotes something as ridiculous as this completely destroys their own credibility.

Unless they're make clear they're not in agreement, of course.

When I read threads like this I realise why conspiracy theories are so widely believed. Sigh.

I know. I don't think believers are funny or harmless eccentrics, I think they're dangerous.
