For most part of my adult life I have not witness blackout, flood or watershortage, unlike my childhood.

I don't buy the argument that the barrage has nothing to do with it as the timing is too uncanny, despite all the scholars' mathematical modelling. Like some economists/ strategists trying to explain why after the fact but can't tell us the root nor forecast.
