Quote: Mintball "Yet we had a 6-8 month winter last year. Nice and mild this time around for most of the UK – yet the wettest one on record and nobody seems sure when it's likely to end.
That's two successive and extreme winters.
We have had heavy flooding now in at least three of the last six years, IIRC. Not in one place, once, but across the UK, on a number of occasions and sometimes more than once in the same place.'"
These so-called freak weather patterns have always occurred and humans have always reacted in the same way i.e. panicking that they were omens of an impending apocalypse caused by immoral human behaviour. In the past it was God's wrath caused by our lack of faith in religion and today it is global warming caused by our lack of faith in environmentalism.
Despite the work of Galilleo showing that the earth revolves around the sun, people continue to believe that the earth revolves around us. Everything that happens on this planet is down to us. People need to just accept that there are forces more powerful than us that are out of our control.
