In addition to the lack of precipitation, arid conditions in Venice are being blamed on a high-pressure system, a full moon, low tides and unfavorable sea currents.

Given that Venice's canals are fed from the Adriatic Sea, I don't think you can blame the lack of rain or globull warming.

But you can blame a freakish combination of strong winds, a full moon, low tides, and unfavorable sea currents.

That sounds entirely too logical for the globull warming crowd to understand.
