"Devastating floods" and they show a road partly washed out. Roads never washed out before? The fact is that weather patterns like heavy rains are natural. Droughts are natural although global warming could theoretically add a degree or two to the high some days. Whether there is actual global warming or not we will always have bad weather and that's why they have to unclog culverts so the road doesn't wash out, etc.

Global warming is just the latest excuse to whine and be lazy.

Its damn dry in southern Michigan but its not the first time. The last good drought like this was 20 or 25 years ago. I doubt we’ve gotten more than an inch and a half of rain since early June. That was the last time I mowed my lawn.
