But, even more instructive than the row is this historic map that shows flooding would likely be a normal occurrence in Bridgwater in the county of Somerset, UK, located on this map at right.
Now look at this map from 878AD. "Swamp or Alluvium" anyone? The arrow notation is mine. This is the Danelaw map, from 878 AD, drawn in modern style:

People have been draining the area known as the Somerset Levels since before the Domesday Book in 1086AD. The Levels were frequently flooded by the sea during high tides, a problem that was not resolved until the sea defences were enhanced in the early 20th century.
So, is it any surprise that the water wants to follow the path of least resistance with gravity rather than it being a new feature of "climate change"?
That's interesting, but... are Watts and other 'deniers' - spot-on that 'global-warming-caused-by-man-emitting-too-much-CO2' is nonsense - seriously suggesting that nothing out-of-the-ordinary is happening on this planet??
