PBS News Hour Double Shot the flooding is unprecedented / Blue Cut Fire: Over 82,000 forced to evacuate

Governor John Bel Edwards "The flooding unprecedented" Governor John Bel Edwards said residents had been pulled from swamped cars, flooded homes and threatened hospitals across the southern part of the state. The already soaked region is expected to get more rain from a storm system stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley. "Even with the sunshine out today intermittently, the waters are going to continue to rise in many areas, so this is no time to let the guard down," Edwards said, calling the flooding unprecedented. U.S. President Barack Obama issued a disaster declaration on Sunday for flood-ravaged Louisiana, where at least five people have died and emergency crews have rescued more than 20,000 people stranded by unprecedented flooding. Louisiana State Police Colonel Michael Edmonson said helicopters were transporting food and water to those still trapped by floods. Helicopters were also transporting some seriously ill people to areas outside the high waters. More than 20,000 people had been rescued from flood waters in southern Louisiana.

Experts and Empirical Evidence From Down Under: Professor Brian Cox Vs Malcom Roberts plus others

OZ ABC Q&A Epsiode: Experts and Empirical Evidence Professor Brian Cox is a British particle physicist at the University of Manchester and Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science. He has carried out research at the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland and the H1 experiment at DESY in Hamburg. Malcolm Roberts has been confirmed as the fourth member of Pauline Hanson’s Senate team to be elected, and will represent Queensland for One Nation. Malcolm has a background in engineering, mining and business leadership, and also a keen interest in economics. Malcolm disputes many of the claims made about climate change. After an investigation of these claims, involving analysis of the measured data, Malcolm believes he has exposed corruption. His investigations led him to conclude that foreign control is wrecking Australia and the tax system is choking Australians, destroying initiative and responsibility, while sabotaging the future. see complete Episode and Transcript at ABC Q&A Experts and Empirical Evidence

More Plastic Than Fish - project clean up ocean plastic

"What does plastic pollution have to do with climate change? They both have their root in fossil fuels."  — Anna Cummins, 5 Gyres Institute The EPA estimates as many as five ounces of carbon dioxide are emitted for each ounce of polyethylene (PET) produced—the type of plastic most commonly used for beverage bottles. Matt Prindiville, executive director of Upstream, a sustainability venture that seeks to end plastic pollution and reduce climate disruption. He states:  "It’s a fundamental Lorax-type tale. We are wrecking the oceans—and now our food, due to microplastics attracting and bio-concentrating toxic chemicals in the marine food chain—because of our addiction to cheap, plastic products and packaging, and a comprehensive global failure to steward these materials properly. A recent study revealed that 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into our oceans each year, enough to cover every foot of coastline in the world."

Another Org to help you convince your Uncle Denny the Denier IMPACT2C

The Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) was initiated by the German Federal Government in 2009 as a fundamental part of the German hightech-strategy for climate protection. Since June 2014, GERICS is a scientific organizational entity of Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht – Zentrum für Material- und Küstenforschung GmbH. GERICS offers in a scientifically sound manner products, advisory services and decision-relevant information in order to support government, administration and business in their efforts to adapt to climate change. Director is meteorologist and climate scientist Prof. Dr. Daniela Jacob. The IMPACT2C project provided easily accessible climate-related information to policymakers, the media and other interested parties. The project results were put together in a series of the Policy Brief Notes. The IMPACT2C web atlas (www.atlas.impact2c.eu) was produced to provide input for the development of recommendations on possible adaptations strategies. The key messages of the IMPACT2C project can be summarized as follows: A global warming by 2°C substantially affects a wide range of sectors and regions throughout Europe. Some regions or sectors will benefit from a future warming, but some will experience disadvantages.  To assess the impacts of climate change on specific sectors, cross-sectoral relationships have to be included into the analysis.  In most regions of Europe, the projected regional warming is more pronounced than the global mean warming. Projections for annual mean precipitation show wetter conditions in northern Europe and drier conditions in southern Europe.  Under a 2°C global warming, a European-wide increase in the frequency of extreme events is expected. Heatwaves are projected to double while extreme precipitation events tend to become more intense.  A limitation to 2°C global warming will not stop sea-level rise due to the delayed reaction of the oceans. Therefore costs due to coastal flooding will incur even with adaptation measures.  Bangladesh and the low-lying islands like Maldives are expected to feel the consequences of climate change, due to the continuous rise of sea-levels enhancing the risk for storm surges and flooding.  For West and East Africa, the warming is above the global temperature increase. West Africa could experience a modest increase in rainfall, whereas for East Africa no clear trend is projected. .
