BBC News
As we all know parts of the UK are under water due to the amount of rain we had.
BBC has taken great delight in informing us that's all due to global warming.
Tonight's news let the brainwashing mask slip, after regaling us with all sorts of information, they stated that the current floods were the worst has experienced since 1963.
If my memory serves me correct global warming didn' t exist in 1963.

Hi Vic.
The BBC must not know about the rest of the world, at least the parts that are under water, Like huge areas of Queensland, Victoria, and NSW, plus Europe.
Yesterday when watching those news items of the floods in the UK, I was reminded of what Cap[t Kong said a few years ago, that the EU had stopped the UK from dredging the rivers, you are no longer in it, so have they resumed dredging?

Re: BBC News
Go back through the records, it has all happened before.
Up river here in 2022 we saw some bad floods, media told us the worst ever.
But if you care to look at the markers up there, something the media does not even know exist, you will see that in 1913, 1973 and 1993 were all higher.
Not just by a centimeter or so but by as much as 30 centimeters, or a foot to you in UK.
Records here in Melbourne going back to 1820 show nothing new when it comes to floods and droughts.

The world heats up every year when it’s in Perihelion, for those who don’t know what Perihelion is, it is when the earth is closest to the Sun. JS
