I only wish people would stop calling these "conspiracy theories" and would begin calling it "stupid political tribalism". The truth of the matter is that these stupidities are politically motivated. People saying this bullshit are the ones that deliberately want to dismiss the reality of global warming. And they will keep on overlooking evidence and speculate on the most lunatic way possible into disaster.

True but every coin has two sides. The other side of climate change denialists is ecoauthoritarianism. There are people inserting climate change in every discussion, spreading fear and using climate change as an excuse to increase governments powers and promote authoritarianism. Climate changes make the weather more wild and unpredictable but it's not 100% the cause behind every weather phenoma. This region, Porto Alegre, experienced floodings in 1873, 1897, 1905, 1912, 1914, 1926, 1928, 1936, 1941. In 1941 anti-floodings systems where built which prevented flooding for almost a century. I don't think the magnitude of the record flooding that is happening this year could be predicted though certainly lenience towards weather phenomena mitigation is a prevalent trend in Brazil. https://www.correiodopovo.com.br/especial/conhe%C3%A7a-a-hist%C3%B3ria-de-oito-grandes-inunda%C3%A7%C3%B5es-em-porto-alegre-antes-de-1941-1.1391807 https://www.correiodopovo.com.br/especial/conhe%C3%A7a-a-his...
