Summary
The United Arab Emirates was hit with historic flooding on Tuesday after roughly a year's worth of rain fell in just a single day. The record rainfall, more than four inches at the Dubai airport and 10 inches elsewhere in the country, caused some people online to speculate it was all caused by cloud seeding. But the UAE’s National Center of Meteorology released a statement to CNBC on Wednesday denying the claims. The real culprit in the extreme weather events we’re seeing around the world is climate change, according to the Washington Post. It’s government inaction that’ve left us in this increasingly dire situation.
