Heavy rains and flash flood are natural and cyclical, nature-made and
not "man-made". Big El Nino and drought is often followed by big La Nina and frequent/heavy rains. To help prevent or minimize flash flood, build more dams and "harvest" the water,
instead of cursing the flood. After the wet months, or during El Nino years, we
will thank the floods that deposited water in the dams.
Weird comment from Cabanatuan City Mayor Julius Cesar Vergara, he said, "The water
really came from the mountains," Haaaaa. I thought the flood
water came from the sea :-)
The problem here is that people and officials think there
is only global warming and no global cooling. That there is only
"man-made" CC and no "nature-made" CC. That less flood or
no flood or more flood are all proof of "man-made" CC so more money
should be sent to the UN, CCC, DENR, LGUs, other government bureaucracies and
they will "fight" less flood and no flood and more flood. Instead of
using that money to (a) build more dams in rivers upstream, (b) do large-scale
dredging of silted rivers and lakes, or (c) build artificial lakes in low-lying
areas as temporary dumping ground of heavy flash flood.
Three days ago, Rappler hosted the "Green SONA 2016" (State of Nature Assessment). For the climate alarmism movement, if
there is less flood or no flood, we should be alarmed. If there is plenty of
flood, we should also be alarmed. Whatever weather and climate -- wet or
wetter, dry or drier, hot or hotter, cold or colder -- we should be alarmed, be
worried, be scared. Thus we should send more money to the UN, CCC, DENR, LGUs,
WWF, Greenpeace, etc -- and they will save us from less flood and no flood and
more flood. http://www.rappler.com/.../142048-live-green-convergence...
For the "man-made" warming/CC religion, these
non-stop rains and flooding elsewhere were caused by our modern life, by our
cars, air-cons, energy-intensive industries and condos and malls and airplanes
and buses. http://interaksyon.com/.../habagat-to-dump-rains-on-luzon... Thus,
we should have less fossil fuels, less or no coal power plants. Modern life via
reliable and cheaper electricity from coal is wrong, that is the message of CCC
and Manny de Guzman, Lucille Sering, Yeb Sano, Tony la Vina, Sens. Legarda and
Zubiri, etc.
Meanwhile, two stories:
1. "In peer-reviewed research, Kelly argued carbon dioxide should be considered the byproduct of the "immense benefits" of a technologically advanced society. Cutting carbon, he added, could result in a dramatic reduction in the world's quality of life that would usher in mass starvation, poverty and civil strife. Massive decarbonization is "only possible if we wish to see large parts of the population die from starvation, destitution or violence in the absence of enough low-carbon energy to sustain society." http://www.cnbc.com/.../climate-accord-irrelevant-and-co2...

2. “Professor Valentina Zharkova (Northumbria University) and
colleagues… Professor Valentina Zharkova (Northumbria University) and
colleagues’ … research suggests that the next three solar cycles will see solar
activity reduce significantly into the middle of the century, producing
conditions similar to those last seen in the 1600s – during the Maunder
Minimum. This may have implications for temperatures here on Earth.”
