That’s why I said they should build channels on the east side of the Rockies to divert all the melting snow to Arizona.
@obiwan2112 , Arizona needs the runoff from the east side of the Rockies so that we can use it for agriculture and growing pine trees throughout Arizona. Now that the polar caps are melting, we have to figure out other ways of keeping water inland. Such as big dams to prevent runoff causing rising ocean levels. With regards to these pipelines you’re talking about, you’d have to send me hyperlinks about it.
@Taylor Curtis Braz Look up the Big Thompson Project.
@obiwan2112 , I don’t know why Colorado wants to pump water west to east through the 13.1 mile Alva B. Adams Tunnel. Then they should cut a canal on the east side of Wyoming and send that water to Lake Powell. Because if you send that water to Arizona, we’re going to do carbon capture with pine trees. I have been chatting with Google Bard a lot lately. What do you think of Bard? I have to take a shower now.
@Taylor Curtis Braz They do it because there’s more water on the west side of the Divide and more people on the east side. Then the nutty freaks on the east side squall about the Colorado River not having enough water.
@obiwan2112 , Do you ever chat with Google Bard?
Guys, get FEMA and out of state supports in.
The same for Florida and California.
The mighty Mississippi is going to show how strong she is
It’s a he!!!!
A pipe line out west will stop this yearly flooding.i have said it for years.i have come to the conclusion our government is run by idiots
The river overflows nearly every year, they need to run a pipeline to the California reservoirs to reduce the flooding and store water for the west, but we are dumb as a box of rocks and ignore it.
Well at least we’ll have more drinking water
Climate change is real!
Don’t live in flood zones or near rivers. 🤣🤦♂
Be prepared for upcoming Hottest Weather & Forest Fire!
Just more Holy Church of Climate Change fraud.
God’s wrath! Grab your ankles liberals!
Shouldn’t have destroyed the natural flow of the river in the first place and build houses on its banks. .
Jesus is angry in Canada Calgary he is homeless poor living so bad angry 😢🎉 he want end to the world 😅
NOBODY F CARES
Americans make me 😂😂😂😂
Wasn’t it dried up last summer? Well I’m glad it’s getting refilled but going from one extreme to the other so fast is crazy. California also went from drought to floods in the past year.
News flash! This is Biden’s fault. Hi inflation, high gas prices, high waters😂😂 Drain the swamp and waters will reside😂😂😂😂
Nature washing the racist away yay!
that incipient mold in florida , soon moving into a wall near you . .
As a Floridian there is never a state of bring over prepared. Where your family’s needs are met there is always someone in need.
But as a Floridian you still Hate 50% of Americans !!?
Me and some friends went up to kansas city after the very wet spring of 93 or 94 (?). We lived in southwest missouri but we had flooding too. The water had receded but it was quite impressive to see how buildings got swallowed up by the water that were now back on dry land. The water got very high.
’93. months Following the storm of the century blizzard
from one extreme to another, in our rivers and society. it’s not good folks.
It is as it always has been.
@obiwan2112 in some regard but the humans are goin mad
@Jeremiah Starcher Goin mad? At what point in history were they not goin mad? It’s a characteristic of the species.
@obiwan2112 you got me but for the first time we’ve created something more intelligent than ourselves and there is no sign of slowing and the systems we’ve created for our way of life are showing alot of stress
@Jeremiah Starcher The history of the world has been a running battle over whether the people will control institutions or whether institutions will control people. I’ve chosen my side in this fight.
Been saying it since the storms started hitting. Keep watch and prepare for BIG floods. Figure out your evacuation routes and high ground, or have some sort of boat-ish thing to ride on.
Replant our forests
More farm land being lost
Don’t worry, the “thoughts and prayers” should take care of this.
A few months ago the Mississippi was so dry that barge traffic had severe impacts. Like the whole country, more reservoirs and water management are needed with the weather extremes and higher population. Look at the close call in the Colorado river basin a few months back. This will keep happening, and flexability needs to be built into the water projects to prevent widespread calamity.
the more man “manages” nature, the more nature makes a fool of man
Right, we should prop up supports now.
It’s nature, it’s cosmic manifestation. One day it has to happen for lives to be as normal as Bangladeshis.
Climate is changing USA will have this for 5 years, then drought, rinse and bigger flood, then drought again. Don’t build dams, just don’t build on flood ways.
“all across the country all across the world these things seem to be happening.” how profound
Yeah, what a genius
Yea there is weather on the earth 🤷🏼♂️lol who lets these clowns speak
They always have.
Has anybody heard of water management?
Going Back to the way it was. Nature and River before people built on the bed… I mean where is the water to go? They knew it was a river bed..
Ex-President Trump should arrive soon handing out bottled water.
Hold on….
https://youtu.be/bbc6DUBd0g0
Melting snow could lead to flooding, imagine that.
Who’d a thunk it?
My opinion thats god showing us he sees our needs if Will pay attention
Stop building in floodplains.
lets send them some socialism. meaning emergency funds.
Greetings from the BIG SKY
this is consistant with what the climate scientists are predicting.
🙄
This is exactly why they changed the terminology from Global Warming to Climate Change to dumb it down for the far too many people who skipped science class so they could maybe understand it better and pay attention. This was for the dummies who would say during some of the recent coldest winter storms on record, “Well about that Global Warming BS we’ve been hearing about!” As the climate charts have long predicted if we don’t change the things that we are doing to cause this and better prepare our infrastructure, tropical and land based summer and winter storms will intensify along with heat and cold waves getting worse and it will cause these weather related disasters to happen more frequently. Hurricane Ian that hit Florida last year is a good example of the climate change that has been happening. When it was in the gulf it wasn’t that strong but when it got to only a hundred miles from the coast and within one day it rapidly went from a CAT 1 to a CAT 4 hurricane it caught a lot of people and the weather service off guard and ended up killing 144 people. It also caused second largest insured loss on record after Hurricane Katrina of between 50 and 65 billion dollars.
Wichita, Kansas needs more rain and lots of rain 🌧 🌧 to water 💦 grasses, plants 🌱, farmings, and gardens and to help clean up the air because it’s so dry and very dusty
MSM: We fear-monger whenever it’s convenient to do so.
The concrete barrier broke as it was simply hanging there. Not sure that’s very reassuring.
If you live in a floodplain… expect floods and damages. Also do some levy setbacks…
Maybe don’t build expensive structures in flood plains? Or else buy insurance and don’t be shocked when it floods.
These “100-year floods” are happening about every 5 years…
What makes a flood “historic “?
Too bad this water couldn’t be going down the Colorado river.
This is what happens when you try to play God.. You can’t change mother nature’s plans. Governments will pay a dire price for weather manipulation
Some kind of canal should be there to divert excess of flood water into Colorado basin.
And yet it’s busy as usual. Whatever
When have you heard this before, 130 billion to ukraine instead of helping people here, go joe go.
I don’t understand why the US hasn’t built any modern infrastructure in over 100 years.
My question is why did you not REPORT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI BREAKING THREW THE ATCHAFALAYA RIVER CUTTING OFF LOUISIANA SO BARGE’S COULDN’T MAKE IT UP THE RIVER. ALL YOU REPORTERS FAILED TO REPORT THE TRUTH. YOU ALL CALLED CLIMATE CHANGE.
Build on a floodplain and guess what, it will flood
Last year people along the Mississippi screamed about diverting a single cubic foot of water to the drought stricken Southwest. It was just a matter of time before the river flooded again and the same people expected emergency crews from the Southwest to come and save them. A diversion system could have already been started.
No one is asking for emergency crews from the Southwest.
@Eager Owl You will be.
Magical thinking is magical. There is no sensible, legal, practical or economically feasible manner to do that. Just getting the property access for a pipeline would take a decade.
But, hey, keep up that optimism. 👍
This just in…the river floods in the spring
let me guess, they are going to try and blame “climate change” for this……. WRONG. if the earth was warming like “they” say it is, then we would NOT have had record breaking snowfall during the winter. this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the so called “climate change”. its just earths weather doing its normal thing. stupid humans think they are more important than mother nature……
“All across the world, these things seem to be happening” and not even a SINGLE COMMENT from NBC, y’all are pathetic journalists. It’s OK, we’ll talk about climate change next year…
Climate change is HERE and it’s NOW.
SNOW IZ A FUNDAMENTAL N THE FOUNDATION OF JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!!! HOW SO??? ITZ A STORED TREASURE!!! (RAIN,SNOW,HAIL,EARTHQUAKES) THE FOUNDATION 2 ALLAH (GOD) MUNITIONS OF JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!
A call for Repentance NOW dearly beloveds around the world.
Keep safe for we are Sojourners in this world.
Prayers and thoughts from the BODY of JESUS CHRIST around the world. 🕊️🙏🙌🌱⛰️🌿😍
So much water wow
Wasn’t the Mississippi going dry last summer?
Considering that river was recently at “historic lows” it’s safe to say the jury is still out on “climate change” – I almost can’t believe my eyes…. water in a river oh my gosh I would have never guessed that… lighten up people lighten up hahaha
Why aren’t we being proactive with these flood zones. When know areas that are prone to flooding but yet we don’t build any new infrastructure to midigate or detere it from damaging places humans live. We are so backwards. They gone make us get insurance instead of getting a fix on the problem. Just throw money at it that fixes everything. Just build an extremely huge underground holding tank for water or something like they have in Japan with their underground system. Oh I forgot this is America the government will have the price of that so inflated it’s impossible to build. We will never get anywhere
As sure as Spring follows Winter. Every year after year . ❄️ 💧 🚣♂️ 🏠
Today, 4/26/23 at 4:30 exactly I heard this sentence 3 times: “Rapture leads the year” I went to pray and I asked Jesus to give me a Bible verse that goes with this word: I got 1 Thessalonians 4:16
-Same day at 5:15 am
I heard the sentence: “The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
and I got another Bible verse: Revelation 4:13
-REPENT! Please don’t get left behind for the 7-Year Tribulation. The new world system will not allow you to buy, work, go to the doctors, or do anything out of your house if you don’t have the #666.
-Right now is the time to pray to Jesus for forgiveness of your sins. Tell him that you will make Him the Lord and Savior of your heart. Romans 10:9.
Flooding isn’t the worst thing in terms of climate. Yeah there is a lot of property damage but flooding is a very natural part of nature and isn’t something to blame climate change on.
So do tell. Where are the priests of the Holy Church of Climate Change who were caterwauling not long ago about the Mississippi drying up? Let them come forth with their apologies. Then let them be followed by the brain dead idiots at Bloomberg and the LA Times that ran 2022 lies about the end of Sierra Nevada snow.
Dry and baked in the summer and then flooded in the spring, get used to it
Humans never learn……. River Flooding at the end of winter has been an ongoing issue since the dawn of humanity, why people are still stupid enough to allow buildings to be build along flood plains [IT’S IN THE Freeken NAME] is beyond me!
No man or woman can stop Nature’s from doing it’s work
Get your fishing pole boys. 😉
Thoughts and prayers for the bible belt lol
And we could have a network of water reservoirs and pipelines to move and store this precious resource before it becomes contaminated and destroys properties.
We have the ability, but seem to lack the will to do anything that actually helps the average citizen. And that comment is not directed to one party or the other, but BOTH.
“these things seem to be happening”. Yeah who could have guessed
Just in case no one knows – The Mississippi River floods. It will flood it banks today and tomorrow just like it has for the last 1000 years or so. You are welcome.
OMG, not the Yachat Club, did they call FEMA.
America finally paying for how they did us and the natives
Good!!!
The Lord Jesus loves me so much to allow bad things in my life to remind me I’m living in sin. He is always, only good and in control and He loves me. I trust His wisdom and power in all this.
So the Mississippi river is no longer drying and endangered Like it was last summer?
Climate crisis? Isn’t the problem record snow?
Last week i watched a video about how the earth is running out of water. Get on the same page at least.
*GOD DOESN’T WANT YOU PEOPLE TO HAVE LAND THAT YOU STOLE FROM OTHERS!!!*
Thought the Mississippi River was drying up
Sorry, we were busy raking the forests.
Good old weather,.only truth on this show..
Don’t forget, NBC,..this was Trump’s fault.
Seems like diverting some flood waters to areas that could receive it might be a good idea. I mean, we pump oil and natural gas all over. If not to other rivers then maybe to aquifers?
“cryin’ won’t help ya, cryin’ won’t do ya no good”
The Indian told you leave the oil in the earth!!!
Climate change is not real. All these floods are fake news.
The mighty Mississippi will roar as a lion, removing bridges, dams, destroying everything in its path. Get ready. Get prepared now. Get your papers in bags and mail them to a friend or family member. Find someone to take any pets. Sandbag sandbag sandbag…it works if done right. Get a pump for basements. And always leave before its too late.
Is the climate cult a conspiracy theory or a conspiracy factory?
get yo self a canoe ppl
The flood STorm now the derailment that happened today in the Mississippi river in Wisconsin everything gets water from there. See the picture see what’s there doing be careful ppl
Of course, most of the people who are going to be affected by this situation dislike the gov and support those acitively trying to overthrow it. No doubt in my mind they will have their hands open for federal help.
*THE GREAT THING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE* is it will make believers of everyone eventually – even if its one flooded hill billy Republican town at a time…
