How is the flooding related to climate change? Seems like 'climate change' is now a catchall bucket for unexpected weather, regardless of being too hot or too cold.

Yes, that's how climate change works. A warmer climate results in more extreme weather. A warmer climate does not result in uniformly warmer (or drier) weather.

  How do we go from 'could have' to 'did'?

    Huh? "Could have" what to "did" what?

      Just because climate change is consistent with extreme weather does not entail it caused extreme weather. Also, climate change = extreme weather is very handwavy. How is climate change falsifiable?
