    Mr. Abele's grandson told Daniel Reeves who worked at Duke Univ Chapel as a Visitor Relations Specialist that Abele saw the Chapel under construction--but not completed. Mr. Abele's niece did not know that when she gave her speech. Bill King, the world's expert on Abele and retired University archivist, told me that there is supporting evidence that Abele saw the Chapel under construction. Prior to the conversation the grandson had with Daniel, we did not know that Abele saw the Chapel under construction although there were rumors. The question still remains: Why did Abele not see the Chapel completed? Perhaps due to segregation laws as they were still in existence. Ann Hall, VRA, Duke Univ. Chapel

Another huge fallacy is why the entities of the "global warming" mindset compare data from 1990 and forward until today and use the Michael Mann(the Hockey Stick) non scientific method, as if they collaborate with the non "green energy" industry et al. Another aspect is the pinpointed use of temp. data from thermometers with increasing urban heat and the claims of "global warming" in countries with almost no data, but yet used to push an agenda. Lastly is these catastrophic events known to happen by prophecy statements and the events of these catastrophes including increasing earthquakes etc. isn't done by the hands/actions of mankind.

      @GEEKORMAN Just read the books of the late Professor Tim Ball and you'll understand how the complexity in climate and weather patterns is far from understood. The push for "climate change/global warming" based on the CO2 nonsense isn't science, as weather conditions is known to be just as harsh in the past. The statements about the NASA tampering of temperatures is revealed by Tony Heller and Tim Ball. If interested, both Tony Heller and Mr. Ball was invited to Australia a few years ago by Senator Malcolm Roberts, to give some lectures on the narrative about "global warming." These lectures is still available if you type Malcolm Roberts on YT. I just saw your message now, so better late than no response from me.

    @royreynolds108 2 місяці тому

    The reason flooding seems to be getting worse is not "climate change" but more and more asphalt for roads and parking lots along with many more roofs of buildings prevent rainwater from more readily soaking into the ground making the runoff more destructive than it previously was. This also includes the heavy rains the few days before the storm hit.

    • @GEEKORMAN
      @GEEKORMAN 2 місяці тому

      Much of western North Carolina's land area is not covered in asphalt or roofs, and yet the flooding was catastrophic. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that warmer average global temperatures warm ocean temperatures, and hurricanes gain strength and intensity as they build over those warmer waters. They are absorbing more moisture, too. That is something that can and has been measured.

      Climate change began in the second half of the 19th century (1800s), when humans dramatically started to increase burning fossil fuels. So no, the 1916 flood didn't happen before that. Storms and hurricanes have been happening for ages. However, this increase in frequency and severity is something that has taken place in the last 200 years, particularly in the last 20-30.

It’s measurable, we can know what the temperature is, how much rainfall, etc. People have measured it and recorded the results over time. Which is why they can say that climate is changing, because we can see that change over time. We know it will happen again because it has happened before, and the evidence shows us it will get worse if we do nothing. That’s unfortunate but true.

    We have to start building to the environment of any specific area much better. Recall historic floods as well as current trends. Every so often, you're going to get the worst flood ever only to find out that 100 years ago or more or less, there was a similar flood. I know it's difficult to remember what happened around 50 years ago, let alone 100 years ago. But that is a must as much as possible. My guess is Helene is worse than the flood in 1916 for several reasons: higher populations, erosion, unmaintained flood channels, and/or lack of artificial flood channels. Or maybe we're just going to have a "great flood" every 100 years that we will have to deal with when it happens. I don't know. But after every natural disaster, we need to build wisely and to that environment. I hope you all recover - God bless.

      To say “this is not climate change” doesn’t make it so. The overwhelming evidence, some of which I’ve posted here in the comments, is that climate change is happening, and at an alarming rate much faster than what has typically occurred on Earth. While the planet may renew itself in some ways, those are often processes that take thousands or even millions of years. Just look at the many species that are now extinct. Some of them couldn’t adapt to climate change when it took 20,000 years, and we’re accelerating much faster. The planet will probably be around for a few billion years more. The question is, how long will we be around, given what we’re doing to it?

    Is it good it's good to hear the history. I live in Asheville now. With all the building, development and infrastructure for it, that's happened since then, I don't think the severity of damage from that storm can be compared to this at all. Assessing the level of damage that's happened now, will take years. I'm sure it was devastating for the population then. Asheville has grown exponentially through the years through since then. When an entire population has completely lost its infrastructure, it means total devastation and will take years to rebuild. Right now they're working around the clock to restore water and power service to the entire area. Prayers for the survivors would be nice.

      So sorry that this has happened to all of you. I have donated and will continue to donate to relief and rebuilding efforts, and I encourage everyone to here to do what you can to help as well. I sincerely hope things do get restored as soon as possible up there. We wish you all the best.

    3:45 Climate change effects on hurricanes has already been debunked. Too bad we can't rely on the internet for facts.

      There are numerous sites and studies that show the opposite of what you are saying. This is a fairly comprehensive one of the many: www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/ Perhaps you'd like to share your "debunking" of what actual people who study climate say instead of making a claim with no evidence?

    Looks to me like people should consider this flooding that occurs every twenty years and not live there!!!!

      At least in the particular areas that keep flooding out, yes. Also, developers should maybe not be allowed to build on unsteady slopes.

      ​@@GEEKORMANMiami sits right at sea level. With concrete asphalt and tons of buildings there's really no place for the water to go. So they have lovely floodings from these hurricanes.

      There is stories about many, many communities sending supplies. I'm really wondering if these small communities are overwhelmed. They probably have supplies to help others.
