She’s equating ‘weather’ with ‘climate’.
A fundamental Category Error.................

The radical left has nothing. They must continue to create false crises. These power-mad fools totally ignore the realities of our climates which have been changing since the earth was formed. It is a multi-billion year “disaster”..(chuckle). What a farse.

It isn’t Three Card Monte anymore. Nope. We’ll rename it “Triple your Luck!” Yeah, that’ll work!

“...a pub that became a thoroughfare for a swollen river.”
which speaks to the stupidity of people who build on the watersheds of creeks and rivers. Austin, TX has this happen every time there is an 8” rain that inundates the bars built along Shoal Creek. Don’t blame the climate for this nonsense.
Hopefully, the government will buy out the land downstream from the Addicks and Barker reservoirs in Houston, so that 5000 homes are not rebuilt on the floodplain, only to be destroyed by a future flood caused by the opening of the floodgates.

Climate change is both too near and too far for us to be able to internalise: too near because we make it worse with every minute act of our daily lives;...
Thus, the lust for control over every minute act of your daily life. Surrender all liberty...for Gaia.

Funny the libs always point out that weather is not climate when it snows on their global warming events. If the weather does anything bad they scream about climate change. Weather is climate when it suits their agenda.

Hoodwink, as in
hoodwinking the public, would still seem to be an apt description.

In Britain weve seen floodwater inundate entire villages
How many of those villages were built in the 100-year floodplain?
How many of those villages were built in the 500-year floodplain?
How many of those villages are impacted by heavy rain run-offs due to asphault highways, concrete parking areas, etc.?
