Don't be silly. As everyone knows, 120 years ago we were primitives, guttural barbarians who lacked even the basic insight to ban smoking indoors. You can't compare the people of those days with this enlightened and highly evolved generation, that suddenly has all the answers.

Er, was it the industrial revolution by any chance? Wasn't there a bit of pollution flying around back then too?

Just to be clear here, Mr Sanbikinoraion, it is your position that the amount of rain that fell one June in the late 1800s was caused by the pollution of the Industrial Revolution? If so, I have two questions. Firstly, I know it's a cliche, but what is your evidence? Secondly, assuming that the Industrial Revolution didn't cause a bizarre one-year-long pollution spike, why did rainfall drop so dramatically for the next 120 years? Shouldn't we have had extremely rainy Junes from the late 1800s through to around the 1930s?

Dear Mr S.....

A little bit of soot from steam trains isn't exactly cloud seeding.

Climates change, it is the nature of things regardless of power stations, 4x4's or moon rockets.

The MMGW debate is just politics of envy, nothing more. The socialists are just ticked off that the communist dream was all for naught so as punishment they are trying to get us all to wear their hairshirts.
