Setting aside the fact that the comm is also meant for news, climate change is a political issue these days, because politicians are pretty hellbent on making sure nothing gets done in regards to it unless it's screaming that it's not real.

Okay, but these floods aren't really caused by climate change, Paris usually expects a flood every hundred years. I don't think fossil fuels contributed to this.
