Did Australia's obsession with global warming contribute to the Brisbane floods?

Who, if anyone, is to blame for the terrible flooding in Brisbane? Commentators are pointing their collective finger at the usual suspects. For the extreme green magazine Grist, the floods expose mankind’s arrogance in believing that he can build settlements anywhere he likes, even on floodplains. Nature is “taking a perverse pleasure in pointing out just where the shiny, might city is weakest”, gloats Grist. Others are blaming Aussie property developers, for thoughtlessly throwing up flood-prone buildings, and yet others think Queensland politicians should have done more to improve flood defences. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Cars being washed away in the Brisbane floods...
  2. Pakistan left to drown by the "timber mafia..."
  3. Is India responsible for the floods in Pakistan?
  4. There's a mini ice age coming...
  5. The beginning of a new ice age?
  6. Climate science is a pack of lies...
