There is enough evidence to suggest the UN scientists are using badly flawed models to predict climate changes,

needed - anyone with a house that was flooded will dread the next
insurance bill, and some may not be worth rebuilding. With climate
change, we should perhaps have anticipated more extreme evetns, but
until they happen, it can be hard to convince some to agree to rates
being increased to pay for the work. Is that what you are now
proposing, John? Houses being flooded in recent rain is of course not restricted to Auckland . . .

There have been many large scale flooding events in Auckland such as this one in 1935:
However now many streams have been converted to unbuffered culverts, fed by vast impermeable catchments.

However now many streams have been converted to unbuffered culverts, fed by vast impermeable catchments.The other factor is one of channelling the water. On a green suface the
water tends to "trickle" it way down. This takes time and the "surge" front to wide.
Now its from the down pipes and into the streets stormwater system where iot meets all the other similar flows. Big surge.
We also do not seem to agree on what the rivers flood plain is until it shows us. The river will use the flood plain and not fundutmental attitude will change things.
