At some point you have to admit ...

 ... that extreme rainfall events are increasing around the world.

It's not news, but there are some that don't want to admit this trend is real, despite all of the events demonstrating it is.

There have been several this summer; this is one of them.


It's Nigeria's turn to be submerged underwater due to climate-driven extreme rainfall

"Nigeria sees flooding every year, often as a result of non-implementation of environmental guidelines and inadequate infrastructure. Authorities are blaming the floods this year on water overflowing from local rivers, unusual rainfalls and the release of excess water from Lagdo dam in neighbouring Cameroon’s northern region.

The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency predicted more floods in 2022 than last year due to “excessive rainfalls and contributions from external flows” such as the dam in Cameroon."

There are some people that need to read this that I'm sure won't read it.  But I have other plans for them.
