Proof.
Proof!
Proof of the reality of global warming, and how it is tweaking the weather, as the (Paris-based) International Herald Tribune reports on the Thunderstorms Wreaking Havoc in France along with news of the river "[overflowing] and [doing] great damage" in addition to fitful remembrances of "the persistent rains of last summer" and the generally "continual wet weather which has been experienced in France for some time past."
Finally, we can shut the mouthes of the climate-deniers and set the record… —
Wait… Hold on! What? What?!
The item appeared in the newspaper's 100 Years Ago section?!
It's actually from 1913?!
