KANSAS CITY STAR BLAMES CLIMATE CHANGE FOR SPRING RAIN!!!

Once again we're mourning the death of irony in Kansas City.

Today's slap in the face from mainstream media . . .

KANSAS CITY STAR SEYZ SPRING RAIN SIGNALS GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

A quick refresher for #TBT . . .

Let's not forget this town's long history of flooding . . .

The Kansas City Flood of 1951 pretty much defines the modern era . . .

For Gen-Xers . . . Most of us remember our parents talking about the Plaza flood of 77 . . .

And now . . .

It pretty much floods in KCMO every time it rains . . .

Nevertheless . . .

Blaming climate change is much easier than holding politicos accountable for their dearth of attention to basic infrastructure and local sewers.

And so . . . 

Here's the daily newspaper claiming that the sky is falling . . .

"The warmer air from climate change is supercharging the atmosphere leading to heavier rainfall extremes across the United States, including the Kansas City area, according to the study by Climate Central, an independent climate change research organization.

"The study analyzed 150 U.S. locations and found that 90% of them were experiencing more average rainfall per hour than in 1970.

"The average change in rainfall intensity was 13%, according to Climate Central. For the Kansas City area, the change in hourly rainfall intensity was 18%. That compares to a change in rainfall intensity of 20% for St. Louis, 15% for Topeka and 12% for Springfield."
