You would not compare pickles with sardines by confusing weather and climate by chance?

In other words: what will he do with TIME at ME in 30 or 50 years?
I'm just saying that we're in the dark about predicting long-term climate in terms of local impacts!
We saw it well with the December cold wave: we had a lot more snow than usual and polar winds for 2 or 3 years in winter, as I had never felt!
This is due to warming (modified polar albedo = polar winds over Europe).
It's climate BA BA but I had never heard of it! So question: what climate model developed in recent years predicted this? Because it's not a 50-year scale but a 5-year scale, it's "just not the same" as Janco would say. So climate or weather?
In short, nobody knows anything precisely: but it's very difficult to admit it!
So when a climate expert (who holds his position a priori) still dares to say publicly: the climate naturally fluctuates, human responsibility is not (yet) established, he simply lies ...
Intellectual honesty requires prudence, and at best neutrality, is it so hard to say "we don't know" in French?

The victims of the Richelieu River will have no choice but to dip into their wallets to find the comfort they enjoyed before the flooding of their property. Insurers do not reimburse for damage caused by floods and the Government of Quebec only pays for essential goods.

Richelieu victims cannot claim money from their insurance company to pay for home renovations or the purchase of new furniture, as insurers in the country never reimburse for damage caused by floods.
“Our rivers overflow every spring! It's not insured because it's predictable, ”said Jack Chadirdjan, director of public affairs for the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
There are, however, some exceptions. Damage to motor vehicles is reimbursed even if it was caused by a flood.
Personal property, televisions and sofas in particular, are reimbursed by insurance companies if the water, which has seeped into the basement, comes from a sewer backup.
To obtain this compensation, the owners of the 3000 homes flooded near the Richelieu River will have to demonstrate that it was not the flood that caused the backflow.
With the rain precipitation that continues this morning over southern Quebec, the problematic water levels on Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River will rise again during the day.
The Quebec Flood Forecasting Center released its latest assessment of the situation at 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning and said it expected today to raise levels on these two rivers by almost 10 centimeters. The CPCQ also clarified this morning that since the start of the new rise, water levels have risen 17 centimeters in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and 18 centimeters in St-Armand.
The authorities therefore recommend that residents living near these watercourses take the necessary precautions immediately and follow the next bulletins.
Flood alerts are maintained on Tuesday for Lake Champlain, the entire Richelieu River, Lake Saint-Pierre and the Châteauguay River near Huntingdon.
Heavy flood warnings were issued for the entire Châteauguay River as well as for the Yamaska River. On these rivers, heavy floods are caused by last hour precipitation. The CPCQ maintains that runoff is currently very strong in the Châteauguay river basin and that it has been up 240 centimeters for 54 hours. However, the water levels should stabilize during the morning.
Flood watches have also been issued for the English, Brochet, Acadie (mouth), Huron (mouth) rivers as well as for all small rivers with a mouth in the Richelieu River.
