re: I believe in global warming

My lake use to overflow once every decade and those who owned it before I bought it said it "rarely flooded" but had done so a few times over the 40 years it was in their families ownership. It floods now every year for 4 years into wham.

What's upstream of that lake? If there has been a lot of development that could explain it. When forest or pastures are turned into subdivision the rain gets quickly into the rivers.

Beware, also, of looking at a ten year rain pattern and assuming it's part of a larger trend. It might not be. Weather patterns have always changed radically.

I'm not arguing against the global warming. But evidence for that needs to be average global surface temperatures, not rain in North Louisiana.
