Even in places, like Central Texas, with a long history of floods, human-caused warming is creating the conditions for more frequent and severe deluges.

This is physics 101, warm air can hold more water at the same relative humidity. When air is warmed it collects humidity, and when the humidity condenses to water, it cools, and the cascading effect is bigger proportionally to the increased level of water in the air.

Even I figured that out more than 10 years ago, without being a climate scientist, but based on basic physics.
And in my country, we've also been seeing it clearly for some years now, and most regions are expanding sewage systems to be able to handle it.

But of course climate change deniers probably couldn't figure such things out, and need it explained as you would to a child.

This is physics 101...

See, that's the problem right there, Americans don't have physics class in school and therefore are incapable of figuring this out, and if they could read would be very upset

Most (not all) know this, most (not all) literally don't give a shit.
