We have a problem? Brilliant graph, I'm sure Monte appreciated it. Judging by those figs I assume eco mentalists must think the Victorians were rather keen on coal fired power stations and diesel V8's...

In 1879 due to extremely heavy rainfall more than 1000 people died in the Santa Teresa flood, in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Teresa_floodToo many coal fired power stations? Too many Range Rovers perhaps?... Are you seriously arguing that coal was not being used at that time? That's beside the point though. The point is the increased frequency of such extreme weather events due to climate change. In order to facilitate you seeing this you will need to pull your head out of the sand/your arse though. Do you have any evidence as regards this 'increased frequency' that even the IPCC state is currently not seen? One cannot see that which is not there but if it is there then the evidence will be clear and available as it is oft stated as fact.

I missed this at first but I have now waded through some of it and what is clear that they attribute climate change (man made at that) as the causes instead of seeking the evidence that man made climate change is the cause. Increased frequency of any event is not referred to specifically however I am open to being pointed in the right specific direction. The economic impact, fatalities and disruption is demonstrably open to be interpreted as land use change with increased building on the 1% risk land, increased run off from new development and upstream flood prevention measures that channel water quickly down stream increasing flooding there. The evidence would present itself as increasing trends in rainfall, wind speeds, duration and frequency of such events. That evidence seems to be singularly lacking in most evidence presented. World wide the evidence for increasing trends in hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, rainfall events and heatwaves has not been presented and if a record is breached somewhere, and records are breached somewhere most years since records began, then they are pounced upon as evidence, just as these floods are. We had the Pakistan floods a few years back heralded as disaster in the offing yet it was clear on careful checking of the results that the nature of that event was infrequent but not unprecedented and the economic and human impact was due to poor management, increased building on risk areas and the alleged deliberate protection of some land specifically earmarked as flood areas in the event of heavy rain,
