Global warming has increased atmospheric water vapor levels by over 4% (warmer air holds more moisture). This results in heavier rainfalls (and snowfalls).....which causes increased flooding. Clinate scientists have been predicting this for many years and pointing to examples over the last decade.

The USA recently experienced torrential downpours and severe flooding in West Virginia, Las Vegas, Oklahoma, and before
that in Dallas and other parts of Texas....and other places.

These are all being enhanced and made worse by global warming and the consequent higher water vapor levels in the air.

Now we are seeing major flooding in China, Pakistan and India. This pattern will continue and get much worse in the months and years to come. These are all examples of....
Global warming in action....right before our eyes
And this evidence of the reality and dangers of global warming and its consequent climate disruptions and changes will be very fresh in the public's mind when we head into the upcoming Presidential elections in November with Republican Presidential and Congressional candidates insanely denying that anything unusual is happening.

Over 150 Dead, Millions Evacuated After Catastrophic Flooding Hits China, Pakistan

Catastrophic floods have taken more than 150 lives in China and Pakistan this weekend after days of heavy rain. In China, 128 have been killed and another 42 people have been reported missing according to figures released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China.org.cn reports. A mudslide in Guizhou Province killed 23, state media told the BBC. Eight more people died in the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province when a section of a wall collapsed. About 18 inches of rain fell in Macheng, China, in the four days ending 8 a.m. local time on Monday, said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce.

The rain collapsed more than 40,000 houses and forced the evacuation of nearly 1.5 million people in 11 regions, mostly along the Yangtze River and its distributaries, China.org.cn reports, and nearly 600,000 people are in urgent need of basic living assistance. The rain has also destroyed more than 700,000 acres of crops, the Xinhua news agency repoorts. Floods and landslides are also affecting telecommunication and electricity facilities, halting or delaying traffic in some regions. The ministry estimated total economic losses of $5.73 billion. Vice Premier Wang Yang warned last month that there was a high possibility of floods in the Yangtze River and Huai River basins this year, which equate to a large swath of China's southern, central and eastern areas.

In Pakistan, heavy monsoon rains and flash floods have claimed at least 30 lives and washed away a mosque and several houses in Ursoon, an area of Chitral. Thirteen people are still missing in Chitral, the district’s deputy commissioner Usama Waraich told Gulf News, adding that authorities were evacuating some residents with more rain forecast Monday. The mayor of Chitral district, Maghfirat Shah said the flash flooding hit as people were offering up special Ramadan prayers at the mosque. Dozens of worshippers were swept away in the floodwaters, which destroyed the mosque and damaged several nearby houses and a security post. Afghan authorities also said they had recovered 13 bodies, including eight Pakistani soldiers, which had been swept over the border from Chitral into Afghanistan, Gulf News said.
 
Wow, monsoons never killed anyone in Asia before....

And the WitheredMan comes up with his usual lame straw-man argument which no one ever claimed.

What he has no real response to is the fact that severe flooding is getting worse as the increased water vapor levels increase the amount of rainfall over the course of a storm.

Takes a real anti scientific moron to claim the annual monsoons in Asia are proof of manmade global warming.
Congratulations.
 
Again. The earth warms, the earth cools because we have a sun that fluctuates between solar maximum and solar minimum:

What you didn't know that allowed the climate change scam to work:

Those poor folks. That is one helluva lot of people displaced.

Dozens killed by floods across Pakistan and India

(excerpts)
(CNN) - More than 60 are dead after floods struck northern Pakistan and India, washing away a mosque during Ramadan prayers, authorities told CNN Sunday. Authorities fear more monsoon rains will bring further disaster this week. The death toll hit 41 in the Chitral district in far northeast Pakistan by the Afghanistan border, where 23 people are reported missing, said Kyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) provincial disaster management authority spokesman Latif Ur Rehman. Efforts by the Pakistani Army and rescue workers were hobbled because the flood hit at night, Rehman said. On Sunday the Pakistan Army announced via Facebook that troops were engaged in a relief and rescue operation in Chitral, providing food, tents and medical aid. At least 70 houses have been destroyed or severely damaged, authorities said.

India
In the northern Indian state of Uttrakhand, 28 are dead and another 18 are missing, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police Force (ITBP) and National Disaster Response Force and Civil Defense (NDRF) told CNN. Vivek Pandy, ITBP Spokesperson said the remote location of some areas were slowing down rescue efforts. Landslides resulting from the heavy rains have buried roads under heavy rock and debris, blocking access. Temporary kitchens have been set up for people displaced by the rains, Pandy said.
 
More water vapor in the atmosphere = more droughts

That is THE IDIOCY of THE FRAUD
the atmosphere moves around ,we call it wind.
when the wind moves so does the water vapor climate change is a major cause of changing weather patterns .

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven't experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young.

I was just about to say something similar :thup:
a case of no minds thinking alike.
global warming causes more rain
global warming causes droughts
global warming causes cold temps
global warming causes high temps
global warming causes tornadoes
global warming eradicates cold fonts
WTF do you mean "no mind" you big bag of dumbfuck?

Global warming refers only to the Earth’s rising surface temperature, while climate change includes warming and the “side effects” of warming—like melting glaciers, heavier rainstorms, or more frequent drought. Said another way, global warming is one symptom of the much larger problem of human-caused climate change.
