EXCERPT: [...] There is only one common cause for the disasters that are currently occurring in every corner of the world: climate change. With the intensification of emissions, the planet’s climate becomes warmer and warmer, deregulating the rainfall regime, affecting the level and temperature of the sea, and causing irreversible social and environmental impacts. And we humans must assume a significant share of the blame. Direct or indirectly. Whether through the actions of those who insist on using polluting sources for energy production, or through the inaction of those who do not prevent that from happening....

as the planet warms, the precipitation altitude will change.
This will result in vastly more rain for many temperate climates.
Those countrys who have built entire citys on flood plains will be having quite a few issues for the forseable future.
Not to mention the consequential sink holes that will be created.
it is all rather obvious science and been in the discussion boards among scientists for some near 2 decades.
however... those who are in positions of government seem to be not keen to act before big stuff starts to happen, and now the floods in the US and india are probably going to be fairly common occurances.
i would have a guess that this time next year when the weather cycle returns, the next flooding will do some serious hydrolics.
still... it seems the people of some countrys are simply not interested in what the scientists have to say.
its a little biblical in that aspect. the ignorant self rightchious will be getting the worst of it in some places.
will the USA people suddenly start too beleive in ideasaround climate science and start beleiving what scientists have to say ?
probably not. their track records shows they tend not to come together and learn, merely divide sides up and try and create administrative divisions to create their own little kingdom of authority which cant seem to act when their neighbouring state is in the middle of a crisis. as if a different state is a different country... and the xenophobia that seems to be cmmon place now in the USA applys to state boundarys in how systems get set up.
i find it all a little bizar but thats the way they seem to like it build it(over and over again).
sad, but you cant help those who refuse to help themselves and are just going to keep making the same mistakes over and over again deliberately in a selfish power hungry manner.
specially considering the USA(which i am merely using as an example and i do not dislike americans particularily, i even really like[love in a holistic spirtual way, greatly adore and admire in other ways] some of them).
i truly feel for those americans.
i forgot to mention bangladesh, though they have less technical ability. 1 third of the entirecountry under water... crazy !
