Paducah had it's second largest day for rainfall ever as Hurrican Helene petered out over western Kentucky last Fall. That was about 5-6" in one day. They are predicting maybe 15" over the next four days. Something is, by definition, different. Rainfall amounts like this have never been recorded in Paducah. We've had cows farting forever, industrial pollution only started about 100-125 years ago. Coincidence?
Earth's surface temperature has risen about 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the start of the NOAA record in 1850. It may seem like a small change, but it's a tremendous increase in stored heat.
