Appears the storms may not wait for our grandchildren.
You know if you read the Epic of Gilgamesh they speak of a flood then too. At least 3000 years before Christ. Amazing huh. Floods happen.

LOL. Well Walleyes, watch for black helicopters and don't forget to put on your little tin hat before you go to bed. Mustn't let librul brainwaves invade your little virgin brain.
Queenslands floods have cost grain farmers an estimated $400 million and the bill will certainly rise, AgForce says.

West Im not debating warming with this post, but posting this because i enjoy and have a interest in weather and record events.

That's fine. Make it interesting then. This is like Chris's endless droning and is boring as hell. I too like studying how mother nature works but try putting some historical perspective with the posts. It's far more interesting and people will actually learn something instead of saying to themselves "great more useless drivel from the Chris of the moment"
If you want to make a good post try linking to the disaster du-jour, then linking to a past event and studying whether the powers that be learned anything from the first time around. Sadly, most often they don't and the disasters repeat.

Events are kicking ol' Walleyes ass, and he hates to admit that the number of precipitation events are very much out of the ordinery.
As the number and timing of the events affect more and more agriculteral areas, we will see the effects at the local supermarket.
Are 2010 weather extremes a sign of global climate change? CSW interview on Al Jazeera English*TV | Climate Science Watch
But note in Figure 1, and similar maps for other months, that the area warmer than climatology already (with global warming of 0.55°C relative to 195 1-1980) is noticeably larger than the area cooler than climatology. Also the magnitude of warm anomalies now usually exceeds the magnitude of cool anomalies.
What we can say is that global warming has an effect on the probability and intensity of extreme events. This is true for precipitation as well as temperature, because the amount of water vapor that the air carries is a strong function of temperature. So the frequency of extremely heavy rain and floods increases as global warming increases. But at times and places of drought, global warming can increase the extremity of temperature and associated events such as forest fires.
