I'm not implying anything.

It is a fact that swamp land wasn't created by climate change in Florida. it was created by thousands of years of hurricanes and rains in general. You should understand that, what with living in NO!

Florida peninsula is one giant sand bar surrounded by hot tropical ocean waters.

Where I live in Hawaii we had a 20" rain one day in 1982 in the winter! It hasn't happened since. The closest was 60" in 2 months and 11" over 2 days. It's call the tropics.

The jet streams coupled with El Nino/La Nina conditions can bring atmospheric floods of moisture up from the equator at any time throughout the year.

Ask Rat how that worked out for Cali this winter. The "normal" winter lows sucked up huge amounts of water streaming up across Hawaii and drenched California. Send 30,000,000 Cali residents out of State and California's "mega-drought" problem will be solved.

It's called weather. If it didn't "change" every day then we wouldn't need a weather'man' to tell us what tomorrow's weather would be.

you can duke t out with the geologists -g-

"Florida has unique origins. What would become the basement rocks of Florida were once part of other continents. During the early part of the Cenozoic Era, Florida was submerged under a warm, shallow, ocean which explains why our entire state has hundreds to thousands of feet of limestone beneath it! Land emerged from the ocean as sea level fell during the Oligocene Epoch. During the later part of the Cenozoic Era, quartz sand and clays were transported to Florida, via rivers and marine currents, from the Appalachian Mountain belt as it eroded over millions of years."
