A Canadian minister has said he has "no doubt" that a deadly storm in British Columbia is linked to climate change.
Thousands were evacuated after an "atmospheric river" - a long strip of moisture in the air that transports water from tropical areas towards the poles - dumped the region's monthly rainfall average in 24 hours.
The storm severed road and rail links and caused mass power cuts. One person was killed in a landslide, and at least two others are missing.
Mike Farnworth, the local minister of public safety, told reporters he had "no doubt these are climate-related events".

Never before the advent of the internal combustion engine have there been brush fires in Kalifornia in October...or in Australia in January. Never before its advent was there a hurricane/typhoon in Louisiana,Florida or Taiwan. Never before has there been a heatwave in Montana,or southern Africa.

The Cordilleran Ice Sheet was over a mile thick. It sculpted the peaks of the North Cascades.
Climate has always changed. Naturally.

You are correct, this is weather not climate.

Until about 10,000 years ago, BC was covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and had been so for a long time.

And we NEVER have heavy rains here in the Northwest! Actually, all my life, we’ve had floods here in the Puget Sound area.
