Let's reemphasize that

 

I'm going to make a point again, via the New York Times opinions.  This one is illustrated.

Even ‘Safe’ Places Are Experiencing Climate Chaos in America

Once more, with feeling.

"For each degree Celsius of warming, the atmosphere holds 7 percent more water vapor, driving the extreme precipitation events in New England that have increased by 55 percent since 1958, according to the Fourth National Climate Assessment."

And further down:

"On Sunday [July 9], eight inches of rain fell in a few hours near West Point, N.Y. — a “once in a thousand year” event — even as an entirely different band of violent storms buried the Oklahoma City area in floodwaters, too."

Extreme rainfall is due to climate change and extreme rainfall events are increasing.

That's physics.  That's weather.  That's reality.
