1913 Flood - Montgomery Co. Ohio - Miami Conservancy website

These floods, which killed many people, were the result of a world-wide environmental crisis --- cow flatulence from Europe, Eurasia, and the University of California at Berkeley.

The people of Ohio have not yet been paid for the damages.

Global warming is real. Warmer air absorbs more moisture, which leads to increased rainfalls, hence more severe floods.

The jury is still out on what causes global warming. Cyclic solar activity? CO2 emissions? Methane gas produced by termites (yes, another hypothesis put forward by scientists?)

I know this, though. Climatologists scored an amazing success in the 1970s when they demonstrated convincingly that emissions of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were the cause of shrinking ozone levels high over the southern hemisphere.

That success, however, has not been repeated in the search for an explanation of global warming trends. The chaotic interactions are so complex and poorly understood that for all we know, human activity might actually be impeding the warming trend.

Oddly enough, my Mom's family is in Ohio, and I recall floods as being a problem up there- many towns have walls or dikes around them.
