Bible states in the last days that natural disasters will increase and many signs and wonders and rumors of wars. It will be a very trying time for many people. Just a few things that will happen and has happened... good is considered bad and bad is considered good.
Just for a comparison, where I grew up in NWPA had two (2) 10,000 year floods six months apart in 1996. One was caused by rapid snow melt and ice dams on the various rivers and creek while the other was from a storm.
Thank you. As soon as I saw this thread I knew it would contain non scientific arguments from the science is settled how dare you alarmists.
I thought it was funny that a local radio talk show detailed how alarmists claimed individually that regions of five different continents were "warming much faster than the rest of the world".
Ive lived very near the beach in san diego for decades, near a large park, a motel, and the river that drains theough 2 jetties to the ocean. A neighbor recently showed me an aerial photo taken in 1927 of this exact area, the motels property and the boundaries of the patk had actually changed little and it was easy to see that the idea that sea levels had risen in the last century was absurd..
That park also sirs on the site of Wonderland, which was the largest amusement park on the west coast for a few years until it was wiped out by the tides and storms way back around 1917. It had roller coasters, water slides, an enormous dance hall, and a petting zoo which included 500 monkeys.
The site has not seen a storm or tides of that magnitude in the 105 years since. What we have seen is decreased rainfall but every 20 years or do El Nino unleashes natures fury and believe it or not, the largest amount of rainfall in the history of california or the US (cant recall) in 24 hours ocurred in the 90s in Campo CA, a tiny town less than an hour from downtown san diego. Close to 30 inches I think but the weather station was destroyed in the storm after that point and they said it may have been more.

Did you stop reading that book before you got to the part about not knowing when the end would be coming?
US has seen five 1 in 1000 year rain events in the last 27 days......
...meanwhile, the rest of the country had absolutely gorgeous weather
Just another anecdote with 1,000 killed in Pakistan flooding, an event here and there and eventually people might be able to the impact of a warming planet.
Quote:
(CNN)Severe rains and flooding have killed at least 1,033 people, including 348 children, and left 1,527 more injured in Pakistan since mid-June, officials said on Sunday.
The country's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) added that 119 people had died and 71 injured in the last 24 hours alone.

On Friday, Pakistan's Prime Minister Sharif briefed international diplomats on the crisis, stating that his country -- on the front line of climate change despite a relatively small carbon footprint -- must focus its rehabilitation toward greater climate change resilience.
Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal separately told Reuters that 30 million people had been affected, a figure that would represent about 15% of the South Asian country's population.
UN agency Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in an update on Thursday that the monsoon rains had affected some 3 million people in Pakistan, of whom 184,000 have been displaced to relief camps across the country.
"Earth has experienced cold periods (or “ice ages”) and warm periods (“interglacials”) on roughly 100,000-year cycles for at least the last 1 million years. The last of these ices ended around 20,000 years ago. Over the course of these cycles, global average temperatures warmed or cooled anywhere from 3° to perhaps as much as 8° Celsius (5°-15° Fahrenheit).
So how many events would you need to see before you would admit that some of these events are a result of a warming planet?
There is no exact metric for climate change but we can certainly see the result.
That's like saying there is going to be a pie making competition and that I have to use dog poop as my main ingredient.
The entire approach of anecdotal weather events is like that, it's just a failed starting position.
Ever wonder why the actual scientists that do climate change work don't take that approach but instead use scientific methods?
The only people you see pointing to weather events are politicians and random people on the internet.
P.S. Your first sentence assumes I don't accept that there is warming where I believe I acknowledged that earlier in the thread.
Your second sentence is wrong it that there is a measure for average warming and then change is logically resultant from that.
