Yes but you are reacting mainly to the fact that "extreme weather" makes the media now, 20 years ago when the MSM were not pumping out "extreme weather" news and you were not consuming it I was monitoring it

So when you see "extreme flooding" say in Saudi Arabia and you think oh wow that's new it must be CO2 production" I think yes I recall flooding like that umpteen times in the last 40 years.

Be careful where you are getting your weather news and why you are getting it

Well that's quite interesting but I'm not totally convinced. UAE had like a year's worth of rainfall in 24 hours this year which was very unusual. Dozens of pilgrims died in Saudi because of extreme temps. Europe has had massive heatwaves of 40C+, the US has had serious heatwaves. We've had a lot more flooding. Ski resorts have been shut down because of there being no snow. I think the frequency of extreme weather events has been pretty extraordinary in the last few years while I recognise that they have always happened to some extent
