“Governments can’t change the weather”
Ha Ha Ha, sure they can. Just give them more money...
Global Warming...
Do I need to put the /s tag..
” American Society of Civil Engineers and the Value of Water Campaign”
Gee, ya think their gonna make a few bucks with all the water consumin’ going on?
Nah.
Must be real Altruists.
Only working for the Common Good.
We cannot eliminate natural disasters. We can only mitigate them in cost effective ways. One fallacy of the New Green Scam was that spending = solutions. It does not.
WHAT? The author isn’t calling for a hundred trillion dollars to change the climate? He’s being eminently sensible and calling for improved infrastructure instead? What is with this uncommon common sense? For shame!
Are floods increasing or are we developing flood prone areas?
They are not anymore “increasingly common” than they were centuries ago. It’s just people didn’t know about them before because they didn’t live there. The brain defects of the Bidenskyy adminstration imported two New Yawk Cities and 1 Los Angeles load of slave laborers to vote for the Party of Death and put them where these things used to hit but nobody was around to know about it. We live in flood plains now.
We need a 50 year moratorium on all immigration, no student visas, no H1Bs, nothing
If we can pump oil across continents to where it needs to go to be refined, couldn’t habitually flood ravaged areas empty to habitually dry and desolate areas ?
There, I fixed the title.
I thought droughts were increasingly common.
Funny...no data to support their claim.
How many more floods have we had?
Have you actually been to New York recently?
Last August I boarded an Amtrak to Florida at the new Daniel Moynihan terminal. It is gorgeous.
Thursday, I flew into Laguardia, which is now modern and pleasant (nicer than Miami International.) It had been the worst airport I’d ever experienced. We drove from there to New Jersey. Most of stretch through Manhattan has been repaved.
When we keep expanding to/ building in flood plains we invite disaster. Just because there hasn’t been a flood in many years does not mean it will never happen again….and then instead of looking at historic records some clown starts crying about globull warming and more floods because of it.
I still remember floods going back to 1957 Tulsa. Big Thompson flood in 1976 Colorado, and Mingo Creek flood again in 1976.
Nothing new.
Today, these floods would be blamed on Glo-Bull Warming!

That’s not what president Eisenhower said decades ago.
If they can’t, then they should stop those that are trying to and choking Americans citizens on tons of particulates that are dumped on us regularly.
People are increasingly common, so more flooding is reported.
of course our water infrastructure is unprepared.
All over the country dams have been removed by RADICAL leftist environmentalists.
The dams were there for a REASON.
More construction, instant video/reporting, removing natural channels........ Oh, and it has rained heavily before.
How about there is more ignorance in our society? I can not imagine camping next to a river knowing a severe thunderstorm is upstream.
