A wet climate change smoking gun

Or, at least close to it.

A study just printed in Nature has some fairly strong linkage between anthropogenic climate change and specific severe precipitation events.

Eventually, enough of these studies will push insurers and re-insurers, even in the U.S., to raise rates more and more — maybe enough for both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the denialist Republican Party to be forced into some sort of action.
