Climate is changing all the time and always has done.


At last! Someone admits the truth!


So what part of "the natural variability of the climate" did you not
understand then?

What makes you think the cause is always the same?


So what was the cause of the freak weather in the past then?


Same as always. The unfortunate combination of circumstances. Had the
weather conditions that led to the worst UK flood in the last 100 or
more years occurred one week earlier there would have been little or no
flooding and probably no loss of life at all.

But you shouldn't confuse weather with climate.
