Reply #18: We are all connected but you are confused as to causation vs correlation

Causation: The water flooding the Mississippi is "the polar ice caps melting their way out the major drainages to the seas."

Correlation: Global climate change has many effects. Polar ice caps are melting, there are floods in some places, tornadoes in others, drought in others.

Global climate change causes flooding and causes polar ice caps melting. It is poor logic and poor "proof" to say what you did, that the Mississippi flooding is due to "the polar ice caps melting their way out the major drainages to the seas."
