Specific weather should not be correlated with climate. Saying X natural disaster was caused by climate change should be looked down upon in the same way conservatives might say X cold snap proves climate change isn't real/is exaggerated.
We should use averages to build evidence for climate change, not specific weather patterns on any particular day, especially considering monsoons have been happening for millions of years
