Your aim is true again, Matthew.

"Where are the scientists who should be calling out this blatant misrepresentation? " Unfortunately, it appears you're it. I'm going to share this article.

Valencias future seems to be sealed, and - why not? It's too easy to blame "those politicians" etc, because the valencians accepted it all, they always did. The silent majority is making such behavior possible, so it's darwinism after all - those who are about to die did salute you. Over and out.

Government didn't always play the climate game. From 1920 to 1975, the US government was actively building dams and flood control channels, seeking to protect property and people instead of assuaging the Earth Goddess. The purpose changed in 1975 when the CO2 cult took over at the top.

Government-paid scientists were also more honest before 1975. They described the cycles of weather correctly and scientifically instead of faking the models to please Gaia.

Fear and Guilt, the proven all time great motivators, periodically recycled.

"Do as we say or you, your children and the planet will die!"

"The flood of 1476 was attributed to the wrath of God and blamed on the sins of the people by many would-be prophets of the time, and another followed in 1487.

The flood of 27th September 1517 was especially violent, accompanied by hail, lightning and a lion-like roaring, causing hundreds of deaths, attacks of madness and the destruction of all the city’s mills. Many priests and monks kept up a permanent public prayer session calling upon the waters to recede. There were also many earthquakes recorded that year. The 16th century saw various floods in 1540, 46, 55, 57, 77, 81 and 89." https://valencia-international.com/floods-valencia/

Climate Science is about neither

Excellent article. I recall years ago when I visited Prague I was impressed by the historical flood records on buildings near the river. Lines are drawn showing flood levels from years such as “1274” and “1525”. And now Prague is at risk due to floods from “climate change” …

The alarmism itself becomes the cause of future disasters.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, there are lies, damn lies, and climate cult propaganda.

Torrential rains are indeed a typical trait of the Spanish Mediterranean weather, and they have been a periodical occurrence for thousands of years, visible in the very geography of the region.

I'm done with SS. Just wrote a longish reply, asked for login and then all gone. The gist is that's exactly what happened using your argument. Chemtrails turbocharged Helene moist air.

Maybe. But I think it more likely that its another geoengineered creation, exasberated by your identified failures.

Only one problem. Cloud seeding only works if the conditions are already pretty ideal for rain. You can't build up an accumulation of warm moist (saturated) air ready to dump rain artificially either. You have to wait for it to happen naturally. And cloud seeding will not look like contrails. Much lower, much fluffier trails, as you want to spread the nucleating agent as widely as possible from the get go. This is fantasy, not science.

The chemtrails in Hendersonville (as shown in my video) were at low altitudes, well below Cirrus. Contrails need -40 deg F, typically at altitudes well over 25000 feet. The chemicals today used in Geoengineering are nanoparticles, extremely small, and stay suspended in atmosphere for long periods - even days or weeks - until they interact with atmospheric clouds and greatly multiply the condensation effect.

Understand your reasoning. Still doesn't pass the smell test. Seeding has to be done inside air that is already close to 100% humidity or it simply doesn't work. Agents that hang around for a long time would still have to be placed within a large body of warm, moist air, waiting for a cooling event. It would still require a huge amount of nucleating agent and a lot of aircraft very close to the desired time and target area to have any hope of working where and when expected. Timed just before a handy cold front, or nightfall at the very least. Contrails alone just can't do it - condensation releases latent heat so there is a negative feedback involved, quenching the process around the trail. You really need saturated air to have a chance with cloud seeding.

Sorry about losing your full argument, that is annoying.

Nope. No turbocharging can happen - the condensation phase change warms not cools. You are trying to cheat the laws of thermodynamics just like the greenhouse gas folks. Once the hurricane leaves the warm ocean there is no new energy input.

You must be right. Biblical 1000/yr floods and rain in UAE, WNC and Valencia were just natural occurences - in same year.

Mr. Wielicki, why aren’t more scientists speaking out?! This is truly abominable behavior, nothing to say about wasteful spending on dubious “climate” change efforts. Maybe an advisor position in a Trump Administration from scientists such as yourself may very well right this climate ship and really truly educate the masses.

Scientists probably know nothing about flood control, dams, etc as that is the area for professional Civil Engineers. Relying on scientists who rely on publishing erudite but narrowly focused peer reviewed papers is a big mistake.
