We've only been measuring rain for about 150 years, if that. 10,000 years ago, the place I'm sitting was buried under hundreds of feet of ice. Three million years before that, it was sub-tropical. Thirty million years before that, it was 200 miles out in the Pacific Ocean, which then extend to what is now Idaho.

Yes, I believe in radical climate change and geological upheaval, which is why I am reluctant to interpret every major weather event as something unprecedented or as driven by human-generated CO2.
