Extreme weather is occurring more frequently worldwide. Rising sea levels and heavy rain are causing devastating floods. Most researchers agree that these are the consequences of climate change. But what can we do to protect ourselves?
In July 2021, the Ahr Valley in western Germany was hit by a flash flood after heavy rainfall. Over 100 people were killed, thousands of homes were severely damaged. Experts are calling it the ‘flood of the century’. Yet extreme weather events such as the Ahr Valley floods have become more frequent in recent years – not only in Germany but worldwide. Mozambique has been hit by devastating cyclones for the third year running. In Bangladesh, the monsoon season has become heavier and more unpredictable due to climate change. More and more land has been flooded as a result. At the same time, heavy storms that cause flooding and rising sea levels threaten the south of the country. Experts estimate that 30 per cent of Bangladesh will be permanently flooded in a few years, making millions of people climate refugees.
Wealthy countries such as Germany are now investing billions in the battle against the floods. The Netherlands have long pioneered in flood management, building powerful pumping stations, ever higher dikes and flood barriers. None of these options are available to poor countries. All they can do, along with improving early flood warning systems, is to resettle the people affected. The film ‘Global Climate Crisis – How to Tackle the floods?’ shows the unequal fight against the consequences of climate change with examples from Germany, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Mozambique.

Co2 is good for the planet, for living things.
Ak let's build an arks
When the aliens of the future land on Earth, they will discover the lost human civilisation and wonder why they did'nt change their behaviour before time ran out on climate change. By that point, the earth will have recovered – but without its troublesome past inhabitants.
Rite now we are getting our turn one hour from Vancouver Canada main Trans Canada border ready to burst from Frazer river
Climate change has allways been here no matter if man made or not here
The earth has been heating and cooling for thousands of years, long before the industrial revolution. The historical data shows that the earth heat's up before the carbon levels go up. It's been like this for thousands of years. The data also shows that 90% of the carbon emitted into the air comes from mother nature. If man some how goes back to the stone age that will only cut 10% of the emissions. The idea that man is responsible for global warming is a hoax. The scientist who supports man made global warming are given free access to the platform and those who oppose the idea of man made global warming are silenced.
We used to watch DW before . Now it is a terrible propaganda mashine för the IPCC.
Bullshiiiiiiit !
Climate change, how did global warming morph to climate change?
Has not the same news been repeated in the past decades?? All cities bordering seas should have been underwater by now
Shall we check numbers?
Choose any search engine, yahoo, bing or G
Search for, ( earth atmosphere content , pie chrt) choose any 3 results, it will be Nitrogen 72%, Oxygen 16%, Argon 1%, is co2 missing? CO2 an be found in trace gas section, CO2 content is 0.048%
This trace gas is responsible for all life and all food chains on earth. Responsible for all meats, grains and fruits we eat. Gobal warming today is a trillion $ industry.
All leaders have to fly first class to the first world, meet at a 7 star resort and sign a treaty and drink wine and whiskey, it only costs tax payers a few million $
Trace gas CO2 (0.048%) can only have trace effects on earth atmosphere
First thing to correct building construction a proper way. water needs to go a proper way.mean proper drynage system.in global all goverments must address this along with global warming.its impeccable.
Very nice
People seem to think that flooding only affects people near natural waterways.
I live in a state that doesn't have a flat spot on it.
We have flooding events but even high areas are affected by landslides.
I work in the construction industry and in the past 5 years we have become landslide emergency experts.
Last year we cleared over a dozen slides that took out highways,roads,homes and bridges.
Where our buisness is located there is a small stream that has a railroad running over it in several locations.
Approximately 2 miles of this stream was reengineered due to extensive damage to the rail,bridges and nearby property.
We had 10 such events in a 10 month period.
I personally watched a small stream turn into a raging river.
To the point were rescue crews with powered rubber rafts were brought into to rescue people trapped in their cars.
I'm now a firm believer in climate change and that no one is immune from it.
Ya allha
The destruction of Rainforest is speaking VOLUMES Id say. 🤯
I grew up in Richmond in Surrey and my playground was Richmond Park. I wrote about this in Firstgreensteps because there has been such a worrying decline British wildlife.

Build better floating cars and houses

My grandpa from the CIA with a high clearance on his death bed told us that we don't need to worry about climate change because a progenitor race of aliens from Venus are taking care of it by strengthening the Ozone layer and that theirs nothing we could do anyways.

These events are not extreme if they occur all the time. They then become the norm.
Climate change is a natural event. Nothing that man does will stop climate change!
You cannot wisely give money compensation to leaders in developing economies, b/c it will not reach the people. Better to send medical and food supplies, possibly temporary shelters, but NEVER MONEY.

DW Documentaries are rich in content and Genuine!
That is right living within the water than against the water infact brunei is one for more than 50 years many live on top of the water infact it has school and look like a subdivision..i watched it on you tube…
What's the point of building houses and not finishing them off!! That's a waste of money. Most of the people are old and poor and can't afford materials! Who advises the contractors and where has all the money gone!
Can i get the transcript of this documentary ?
RE: Jason Melton – Thank you for the explanation you gave, also I wish people to realise that the world is already off axis 25 degrees, ie. It's in it's periodic wobble stage which in turn has caused climate problems. Also we have jet streams causing havoc with the weather Inc. the fact that more volcanos than ever are erupting spewing carbon etc into the atmosphere. The whole lot are natural and we are not responsible for the problem occurring. That does not mean we are exempt. There are many ways we can help to make things cleaner and in the process aid nature. But it is the top billionares and manufacturers, also pharmaceutical companies who cause most damage in excess in their drive for ever more riches.
It's going to be winter and spring within one week in nyc.
One thing drives all of Earth's problems, and it is human population growth! You can do all environmental corrections you want but if the population keeps growing, your effort is net zero gain. Every human starts polluting, using Earth's resources from the day he/she is conceived and begins full assault against nature from the day you are born. Examples: think about the amount of everyday diapers that go to the landfill everyday for every infant using disposal diapers; cloth diapers produce water pollution when they are washed; and all the plastic toys and unnecessary games and junk you THROW out everyday–one thing most don't think off–how many plastic pens have you used and thrown away in your life time? Bet you never thought about it. Probably hundreds, every person. Everyday for the rest of every human's life, we pollute–that's in everything we do, this is fact. We are the only creature that pollutes while the rest of the world's creatures' wastes/activities are reused by other living things. Think free to see!
It was a very mild Winter, in Northern Illinois. For the second year in a row, I didn't have to use my snow blower to clear off a foot of snow. I only had two to three inches, at most, at a time (easy to clear off with a snow shovel)……..The way i see it, in 125 years, I'll have summers like Saint Louis has now. Texas will be unlivable.
People who live in First World Countries do not want to give up their modern convenience items, if they are Middle Class, or Higher.
when our soul frequency is bad this is what happens the planet red kachina is here again earth change is here again a ho
