Not man made climate change. Nothing we could do could possibly have a negative effect on the planet. 

 

We are not responsible! It is a coincidence!

 

Nor were we responsible in 1955.

The rain will go, and then they'll be moaning about it being the driest year on record - probably 

with water shortages later on as well
