Wow, it usually floods but not that much 

There is a pic floating around,,I'll try find it. It shows a painted line on a rock face with 1950 written. The water is a few inches below that. This is the worst flooding since then.

Whose fault was it in 1950?

Now I don't know if this played a part in 1950 but back then the logging companies manipulated a lot of the lakes/rivers water levels to float logs from north of Atikokan all the way to the mill in Fort Frances.My wife's Grandfather ran a magor part of those logging days and her Uncle Ed worked at one of the POW camps on White Otter Lake when he was 14. Ed told me it took almost exactly a year to get a log from White Otter Lake to Fort Frances.

Here is some pics of White Otter Castle built between 1903 and 1915 by Jimmy McOuat. It is still only accessible by sled boat or plane. Before and after the 1980’s refurbishment

That's not climate change though.

Maybe you're missing my point, but then again, maybe I'm missing yours? 

My point was, whether it is droughts or floods, they, the global warming alarmists, still claim global warming/climate change. Basically anything out of the "norm" is blamed on MMGW nowadays and the sheep lap it right up that are too blind to see the hypocrisy. 

There is so much in history that is no longer being taught nor told, and because sheep believe their crooked and corrupt Liberal gov't and their funded media, what they see on T.V. is gospel to them. 

The Dust Bowl, also known as “the Dirty Thirties,” started in 1930 and lasted for about a decade, but its long-term economic impacts on the region lingered much longer. Severe drought hit the Midwest and Southern Great Plains in 1930. Massive dust storms began in 1931.Aug 5, 2020

Sarcasm.

I don't believe any of the man-made climate change nonsense.  However I do believe the government has found yet another way to squeeze money out of people forcing them to go along with the fairy tale.
