    Floods used to happen before cars. The Biblical flood story was probably based on a real flood that wiped out a civilization.

    Even within recorded history there have been floods not linked to modern (post-60’s, extinction-level) climate change.

    Cars bad, yes. But if this had been 1000 years ago, this flood could still have occurred naturally, only the results would look more like a WWII carpet bombing, with much of the city flattened. And the most hilarious thing would be that there would have been done fucker saying, “this is God’s way of saying ‘fuck people’”.

    It’s so laughable that in this day and age people run around saying “we have sinned, and are being punished for it! Repent!”

      Agree with most of what you said, but one thing I’d emphasise is that whilst those kinds of natural disasters have happend throughout history, is the frequency of which they’re happening which is the concern.

      You have storms which were once in a generation happening every 20 years or so now, and we’re the cause.
