Quite a bit of weather we've been having

MANIFESTO

As I'm getting over the experience of emptying my basement for the second time in three weeks, Atrios points out this blog, wherein it's stated that the deluges we've been having can be ascribed to the warming of the planet.

Unlike others, I have no doubt that worldwide temperatures are rising, but I sincerely hope that the condition will not necessarily lead to more instances of eight inches of rain in North Madison basements.
