This is gross misinformation
The flooding in India is because the government failed to create a modern flood control system, not because of a couple more inches of rain from climate change
Stop blaming poverty, underdevelopment, and bad governance on climate change!
Deaths from natural disasters declined 92% over last century and 80-90% over last 40 years
We've almost eliminated deaths from floods
The "scientist" who tweeted that apparently believes that those floods are due to heavy rainfall rather than the lack of flood control!
Hey @AndrewDessler are you seriously saying that if they had flood control like you have in Texas, they will would have had that flooding?
For all of the people who uncritically think "climate change" when they see flooding, I have a question: have you ever been to the Netherlands?
