Extreme flooding seen across the world so far this s ummer – video report...

[Fred Bloggs]

Quite a bit of the basic infrastructure being washed away like it\'s made out of nothing, is very, very old. The routes for the roadways in former colonial America, later improved, probably originated at least 400 years ago. This kind of furious flooding is completely new for many of these regions. No wonder people are getting killed, you don\'t have a chance in that kind of fast moving water.

May have something to do with 6-7% additional atmospheric moisture per degree C warming.

And with building subdivisions on beaches and flood plains.

These most recent events are in mountainous and hilly treeless ape habitat, not flood plains and beaches. The one Japanese port city was flooded by a mudslide originating with inland hills nearby.

Earth was never a static Eden. Now we have more people to be victims
and reporters and climatologists.

There\'s an old story about a Great Flood, a really big one.

The deadliest weather event in US history was the great Galveston
storm in 1900. The hottest/driest time was the 1930\'s.

The current set of climate statistics are getting well outside historical extremes.

Perhaps the flooding of the Black Sea about 5600 BC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis

There was some 120 metres of sea level rise at the end of the last ice age

https://noc.ac.uk/news/global-sea-level-rise-end-last-ice-age

from about 19,000 to about 6000 years ago, and that would have provided plenty of opportunities for dramatic floods,

Or so Anthony Watts will tell you.

\"Watts rejects the scientific consensus on climate change\".

So do you.
