The Max Files

With flooding along the Rivers, and the rain pouring down hard, it makes me question this whole theory of Global Warming.

Theory or Fact?

Its Fact, the world is getting warmer, and the rain is falling more. We the people of the world live with the trust that the engineers know what they are doing…

Yes they do, they planned for everything possible based no what we know…

…what about what we don’t know?

Think about it, in the last 10 years the weather has changed so drastically, that prediction the weather is no more a science, then seeing how far a helium balloon will go.

People see flooding as something that only used to happen to those people. Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore, it could happen to you and me just the same. People don’t understand why this is happening, the ice is melting, the glaciers are melting, what is going on?

It’s simple really, we did it, and we are paying for it. It has only taken 150 years to upset the balance of nature. Blink your eye, and that’s about how fast it would appear in the microcosm of space and time.

Reality is we are to blame for this, scientists come up with more far flung theories, to explain away everything; we are in a warming cycle, or we are just leaving the last ice age, or this is only temporary. It has become an excuse ridden society. I’m not to blame for this, it’s the next guy. Well point a finger at someone and four are pointing back at you. Yes we are to blame for this. How many tons of pollutants have we put into the atmosphere in the last 150 years?

Let us not forget to include the earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, flooding, volcanic eruptions, and diseases. Let us not forget that the earth has its own temperament as well. But you say, then why should I be to blame for all of this??

When it comes to flooding of civilization as we know it, who built on the water’s edge in prime hurricane zone? Who built his house upon the sand in prime earthquake zone? Who Built close to a known volcano? But who knew that we built where a tsunami would turn up in 2004?

Are we to blame for the many hundreds of thousands of people dying from natural disasters, yes and no. Yes we built there, but who knows when the next one will be??

But the Flooding, we build long side rivers and build no protection, we assume that we are safe, and you never know from year to year. And yet we pay for the stupidity of people that build along the river’s edge without any forethought. Will it be your neighborhood that is flooded next or mine? You will never know.

Seasons change and time again flooding happens. We forget that when it rains down here it would most likely be snowing on the mountains, and sometime it has to melt, and sometime, something has to give.

The rain is more and is harder, pounding with not just a few inches of rain, but almost a foot of rain, that causes the flooding. Our storm drains are not able to handle this new type of rain that shows up, and then flooding occurs.

Somewhere I heard, that all the areas that are less then 10 feet above sea level, they will be the areas that will be flooded out first, when the waters come..

And yes, they are coming.
