UN IPCC and US NCA — and I — agree that *future* climate change can increase flooding in some catchments p242 https://science2017.globalchange.gov/ pic.twitter.com/5xRLiCBUU1

But for current floods, the changes — both increases and decreases in flooding — cannot be attributed to climate I know, this is not what she wants to hear, but she can't just make up stuff (p231, https://science2017.globalchange.gov/ , also p161 https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/ )pic.twitter.com/Jv8e8PXmrq

She then literally suggest I do a search for flooding, telling me I'll find the word passages she quotes above Sure, but you also have to read them — again, they tell us that warming might influence future flooding, but can't explain current higher and lower floodingpic.twitter.com/k7BlQVap9Y

Now we get to the harsh stuff. Apparently, I'm lying because I correctly quote the US Climate Assessment's correct quote of the UN Climate Panelpic.twitter.com/UK4D9x1r8b

And here is her piece-de-resistance: That there is another part of the US NCA that says "In fact, across the midwestern United States, statistically significant increases in flooding are well documented." She is so happy with this, she repeats it three timespic.twitter.com/1zXrtgDLon

But this passage does not say, what she thinks it says. It says we've documented that there is more flooding in the Midwest. But that is exactly what the US NCA conclusion, I showed, says: There are documented/detectable both increases and decreases of flooding in the USpic.twitter.com/KiLNbJupRV

But right after that, the US NCA correctly say, that we can't attribute either to climate change. It really isn't all that complicatedpic.twitter.com/e1MExeTHWL
