The effects of the disaster were compounded by those cars in several ways, from climate change to almost every single surface in sight being paved with a material that can’t absorb water.
Floods used to happen before cars. The Biblical flood story was probably based on a real flood that wiped out a civilization.
Even within recorded history there have been floods not linked to modern (post-60’s, extinction-level) climate change.
Cars bad, yes. But if this had been 1000 years ago, this flood could still have occurred naturally, only the results would look more like a WWII carpet bombing, with much of the city flattened. And the most hilarious thing would be that there would have been done fucker saying, “this is God’s way of saying ‘fuck people’”.
It’s so laughable that in this day and age people run around saying “we have sinned, and are being punished for it! Repent!”
Agree with most of what you said, but one thing I’d emphasise is that whilst those kinds of natural disasters have happend throughout history, is the frequency of which they’re happening which is the concern.
You have storms which were once in a generation happening every 20 years or so now, and we’re the cause.

Absolutely. I hope I was clear: we’re absolutely in a man-made climate crisis, and our global addiction to cars is part of it.
The only reason only the cars were affected wasn’t because nature hates cars, but because we build buildings betterw than we used to. Mud slides and floods have been wiping out entire towns since… well, since humans started building houses.
Ridiculously high/record rainfall amounts have happened several times this year. Catastrophic floods in multiple locations. Well above the typical worst flood of the year in a given year. Brazil had one I’ve never seen as bad. And OP’s picture is just insanely bad as well.
Hmm I’m seeing a lot of little Peugeots, Renaults and Seats in that pic.
Don’t think they did anywhere even close to as much climate damage as the selfish insecure cocksuckers in one country with their massive bloated SUVs and tiny-penis trucks

(A generation is about 20 years, though I get that you mean 80-100).
Once in a generation means within the lifespan of a generation, not till a new generation is born.
