So. Why should this make us stop polluting. We love our cars and don't care about our children anyway
Floods are about a poor draining system, not climate
This is just the start. 🙄

Love climate change threatening US “allies” while the country still keeps people locked behind bars :)

So, if the problem is that we have built on floodplains, how is climate change the problem...? Floodplains, don't they by definition flood?
Floods and droughts are increasing due to Climate Change. Rodell - Changing Intensity of Hydroclimatic Extreme Events - Nature Journal. Extreme rainfall events are increasing due to Climate Change. Westra - Extreme Rainfall - Reviews of Geophysics.

The Oxford definition of floodplain is, "an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river, formed mainly of river sediments and subject to flooding." As you can see, that includes each an every city in the world build by the side of a river, like Rome, London, Paris, Florence, Santiago of Chile (my city, founded 1541), and communities thriving in the deltas of rivers since millennia. All of which were built there because they could depend on the rivers for water, irrigation and transport, and still do.
Every city built by a river has stories of "one in a century" floods. Climate change makes those floods become "one each decade" or "one every year," which I hope you can realize *it is not the same thing.* Or, the reliable river that irrigated cropfields and carried goods for centuries, dries out due to prolonged never-before-seen droughts. *Can you see now how that is a problem?*
@@MariaMartinez-researcher Pretty good answer.
