It took us many years to convince republicans they were wrong about climate change. In fact, even the most die hard republican would be hard pressed to name one time when they were not wrong. Oh well, we didn't fall for their fake science. Our side used real science. It's kinda like our side using real news instead of fake news. Anyone who listens to fox is an idiot.

Even 100 year floods don't mean anything ... 500 year, 25,000 year and higher ... totally meaningless. There isn't recorded history to determine that. As for Harvey, it's been widely reported Houston got 4 feet of rain or a years worth of rain in 4 or 5 days. Wrong. Annual rainfall here is about 50". There is ONE rain guage in Harris county that recorded 51". It's on the far eastern edge of the county and is likely a mistake. No other rain gauge recorded 4 feet. A few in the lower SE part of the county exceed 3" over 5 days. But 90% of the county's rain gauges recorded between 2 and 3" over that 5 day period. The one closest to me showed 29.5". That was really heavy rain especially given that about half of that occurred on one day. But we don't need to exaggerate things either. My factual numbers come from harriscountyfws.org.
