I live in Texas and we had a really intense drought this past summer... fortunately it didn't end up flooding, but the fires were really bad. Climate change sucks.
I remember this~ I live in Georgia...I didn't realize that practically nobody knew about it...it was hard not to know about it when you live in Georgia ><;
I live in Texas and all summer (a calendar summer, as the summer in texas lasts about 7 months) and it had not rained for about 4 months. Then our middle school had an event where we would play at our two local high schools game against each other. Of course, there is a giant thunderstorm, of course with all of us having large metal instruments, we were not allowed to play. Given that I hate football with the passion of 1000 burning suns, I was happy about it.Aqillies.
Help? My tribe is trying to gain Federal Recognition and I would appreciate if you could go onto the website* and sign the petition It ends DECEMBER 1ST !
*the united houma nation website has the information under the Federal Recognition bar, it also give more history about us
Ugh. It totally sucked. Both the drought and the flood. A lady was walking her dog past our school and she got washed away. And the police had to follow her in a boat. And the dog drowned :(
Actually- the southeast gets a lot more rain in the winter. Drought aside, the summer is usually the dryer season. (I live in the southeast)
Also, I don't know that everything people claim to be true about global warming is true. I remember being told in school that the ozone layer is non-renewable (once gone, gone forever). But lo and behold, now we find out that it does renew itself. Hmmm.
I live here in Georgia, when the flood happened I remember swimming across my apartment complex to the public laundry room to dry most of my cloths. Looking back on it now it made sense at the time, but not in story form. For the record the dry cloths were put in garbage bags to keep them dry.
Hey, trust me. It's nothing against water. If I could stop that whole constantly-coverting-to-urine thing it would make 5-hour orchestra rehersals much eaisier.
we pollute the water with fluoride and our unabsorbed prescription medicine. then flush a cup sized amount of urine down with a gallon of water. what the heck is wrong with us.
where's obama on this? the whole state is under water??? wanna talk about it was BUSH'S fault that rescue for katrina couldn't begin until it was safe to do so....
where's the great obama on this?????? oh yeah... begging for olympics and getting a peace prize for NADDA
5 stars for talking about my home state! ^_^ the news was pretty much the only thing i watched when it was raining. i missed 2 days of school! (finally, thanks cobb county!) it is ironic how there was a drought and then flood. so i guess we're out of the drought? weather is a mystery.
Why the hell is Kanye a news story but horrific floods in Georgia get no mention? This is one of the many reasons why a society in the best possible place to understand reality of any in history, and we can't do it. we'd rather hear about yet another celebrity douche off.
A lot of times, after droughts, there are like these epic floods. Its because once it does rain again, even if its not a bunch of rain, it sits on the pavement and concrete instead of soaking into it.

dude, don't be telling people your in georgia, it embarrasses the rest of us that are in georgia, futher more, putting kayne west and the name of the state of georgia in the same sentence is grounds for having your ass strung up from tree limb
i attended an environmental science camp over the summer and did a project based on the lack of soil in urban areas, causing flooding and pollution in nearby bodies of water. thank you for making the issue more public and hopefully if anyone reading this is deciding on what to do with their driveway-consider patios laid over soil, gravel laid over soil, or grass. google image search it. it's very pretty
Oh dear. Georgia, darling, I believe you've been spending too much time with Oklahoma. You know he isn't a good influence, right? And that cocaine he gave you? Darling, it's not medicine to make you feel better, it's drugs that give you terrible mood swings. So please, Georgia, don't go near Oklahoma again, he has a really bad perspective on life andlikes to make his citizens miserable for it. Georgia, don't be like Oklahoma!!
says the man who's YOUTUBE username is, wait.. what the f...? dancing band geek? I think its you who needs to stay off the cocaine. The only climate problem I've observed is the Tornados and Wind, and im not miserable at all, thanks.
I live right here in Savannah, GA. We've had a few rainstorms that were the remnants of Atlanta's storms, but luckily we haven't faced anything harsher than a few days going without mowing the lawn. And since we live so close to the Savannah River and the ocean, we don't have to worry about the shower problem.
Hmm. Sounds like your describing the rain fall of Texas. Minus the flood. Dear USA, I know we have big scary conservatives but please stop forgetting Texas. Some of us are normal and made of awesome and are vehement about being are own country separate from you...
lol We are a special kind of crazy, we Texans. Who else would emancipate themselves from the rest of the country and create their own (admittedly, rather useless) currency? Also: we have Davy Crockett. And ranch dressing.
Thank you for this, no I had no idea there was this flooding in Georgia! I've been to Georgia and it was beautiful, I feel really bad for the people living there. The vlogbrothers should be in charge of CNN!
I live in Georgia and... well honestly speaking, it wasn't that bad. There was only like 1 or 2 weeks about a year ago where it got serious. (and people would put buckets of water in their showers so that they could water their plants) but otherwise the drought wasn't really that bad at all... sometimes it was hard to believe that they actually called it a drought, but the floods were really cool... for me at least because i just looked at the creek that turned into a lake, i didn't get flooded.
I had the worst dream ever! I want to be a youtube star and i have an idea of what I want to do for my youtube series or whatever, Anyway!

Just telling you what someone told me a few years back. Life has been good since then. I find when things go wrong, just shrug your shoulders and get on with life.
This whole drought/flood thing happens in Florida too, but luckily the coast is pretty safe because the tide just rises a lot. I can't wait for flying cars to be invented so that we can dig up all those ugly roads and parking lots!
Its probbly not climate change, but long turm climate flux patterns, isnt georga like where their was a lot of cotten and what not back in the day, which is a really thirsty crop, so that would lead me to think that mayb a lot of area of urbon sprawl would be on to flood plain areas and areas of reclained lands which would flood nantraly if the river was in its natrat state, this problum is only exaserbated fether by the increased run off due to moor effishant dranage and concreating and tar-mac
Hmmmm, That does explain a lot of the stranger flash flooding stuff that actually makes it onto the TV.
Nothing to worry about tho, the Polar icecaps (yummy) will pump enough old water vapor into our expanding atmosphere to compensate. (yay internet sarcasm)
Yeah, and to think that if Katrina did not almost LITERALLY WIPE OUT the entire New Orleans and other states, it might not have even come noticed in the news. Apparently, SOMEONE needed more headlines for his online-command-and-conquer-war-update during that time than the reality in his own backyard. Needless to say, is it any more different now than it was? You be the judge. And, oh, I suppose for your sake, pray that it gets worse, or else no news headline would even find room for it. Good day
Meanwhile, 337 people die in the Philippines in deaths related to Typhoon Ketsana, with water levels and flooding higher than Katrina's, and I have yet to see significant coverage of that.
The weather where I live (Central Wyoming) has been so odd this year. I've lived here all of my life, and my parents have lived here for at least 30 years, and we've had a flash flood, for like the first time my family can recall. It was pretty awesome. Anyways, it also snowed once in September (but didn't stick) and another time last week (2 inches), record lows, and it was 55 degrees (warm!!) yesterday, and rained today. Very odd indeed.
@joshua5049 Well, fighting global warming is sort of a huge chunk of Hank's life. It's a little like you denying that Hank is John's brother. I'm just not sure how it works.
@Nani101 I am not sure if I totally understand the analogy... :-) I understand that Hank's life work is about eliminating "World Suck" which includes his stance on Global Warming. However, my geological undergraduate work points me in a direction to think that everything is cyclical and that we will be talking about global cooling in the next 30-40 years. That doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of our resources though. We should never take advantage of our environment.
@joshua5049 No, actually Hank's full-time job is manning the Ecogeek website. His 'life work' is mostly about raising awareness about global warming and green technology.
Perhaps the analogy was a bad one. How's this: you meet an alchemist whose life dream is to discover the philosopher's stone, and then proceed to say, "I agree with pretty much everything you say. The only thing is... I don't believe in alchemy!"
Hank you need to go to South Georgia if you want the non-paved part of the state. It's where I'm from, and there's lots of dirt roads and very few houses, because almost no one lives here. You must have been near Atlanta.
Question: If you speak quietly, could you turn the gunshot down a little to match your volume, because I had this turned wayyy up for how silent you were, and then the gunshot came out as A CANNON BLAST. BOOM. And I'm a little afraid my parents will freak out about gun fire coming from my room!
I grew up in Alabama, and Georgia was always just a thirty minute drive away... It's so wierd to see something I call home... Underwater... Wow....... I hate how CNN was covering Barac Obama's Nobel prize closer than Georgia...
There is absolutely climate change occurring. But I really don't think it's because of anything mankind has done. The climate changes. You know... sometimes ice covers everything, sometimes everything is lava... and this was happening WAAAAY before people. I just think that when you're spending time and money trying to reverse it? You're wasting time and money. All you can do, like Hank said here, is get ready.
And that's my opinion on climate change/global warming.
Could you provide more explanation as to how climate change is directly causing flooding/ other natural disasters?
What is a feasible solution to the problem of pavement in urban cities? In singapore, improved drainage systems seem to be the solution, rather than the problem.
That is the way it always is where I live in Ruidoso, NM. Drought and then flooding. Last year, two people died, but I was volunteering in Romania. But it was on the news there. My hostmother wasn't really fluent in English but she was trying to translate for me, and I was seeing this footage of my flooded hometown from across the Earth. So. It probably got coverage in Romania... a second world country.
This year is an El Nino Year which is a Southern Oscillation whereby the ocean temperature of Southern Chile and Indonesia swap. This may sound like it only affects these two places, but it leads to repercussions all over the world. Such as milder winters, sudden floods etc. Obviously the large urbanisation of Georgia doesn't help the floods, but that is why it was so severe; the combination of the two. El Nino has already started and normally lasts about 18 months.
The girl at the end was way pretty!!!

This whole drought/flood thing happens in Florida too, but luckily the coast is pretty safe because the tide just rises a lot. I can't wait for flying cars to be invented so that we can dig up all those ugly roads and parking lots!

Its probbly not climate change, but long turm climate flux patterns, isnt georga like where their was a lot of cotten and what not back in the day, which is a really thirsty crop, so that would lead me to think that mayb a lot of area of urbon sprawl would be on to flood plain areas and areas of reclained lands which would flood nantraly if the river was in its natrat state, this problum is only exaserbated fether by the increased run off due to moor effishant dranage and concreating and tar-mac

Waterade... does it have electrolytes?

Hmmmm, That does explain a lot of the stranger flash flooding stuff that actually makes it onto the TV.
Nothing to worry about tho, the Polar icecaps (yummy) will pump enough old water vapor into our expanding atmosphere to compensate. (yay internet sarcasm)

Solution: sky cities. Put all the building up on giant stilts, like in The Jetsons. Water reaches the soil and we get around this whole issue.
Treehouse cities are an acceptable alternative.

Yeah, and to think that if Katrina did not almost LITERALLY WIPE OUT the entire New Orleans and other states, it might not have even come noticed in the news. Apparently, SOMEONE needed more headlines for his online-command-and-conquer-war-update during that time than the reality in his own backyard. Needless to say, is it any more different now than it was? You be the judge. And, oh, I suppose for your sake, pray that it gets worse, or else no news headline would even find room for it. Good day

Meanwhile, 337 people die in the Philippines in deaths related to Typhoon Ketsana, with water levels and flooding higher than Katrina's, and I have yet to see significant coverage of that.

The weather where I live (Central Wyoming) has been so odd this year. I've lived here all of my life, and my parents have lived here for at least 30 years, and we've had a flash flood, for like the first time my family can recall. It was pretty awesome. Anyways, it also snowed once in September (but didn't stick) and another time last week (2 inches), record lows, and it was 55 degrees (warm!!) yesterday, and rained today. Very odd indeed.

Hank, I usually agree with everything you ever talk about - BUT NOT global warming... It's a scam!

You DO know that he heads ecogeek, right?

@Nani101 Yes I do. But that doesn't mean I have agree with EVERYTHING! Does it?
joshua5049 1 year ago
@joshua5049 Well, fighting global warming is sort of a huge chunk of Hank's life. It's a little like you denying that Hank is John's brother. I'm just not sure how it works.
Nani101 1 year ago
@Nani101 I am not sure if I totally understand the analogy... :-) I understand that Hank's life work is about eliminating "World Suck" which includes his stance on Global Warming. However, my geological undergraduate work points me in a direction to think that everything is cyclical and that we will be talking about global cooling in the next 30-40 years. That doesn't mean we shouldn't take care of our resources though. We should never take advantage of our environment.
joshua5049 1 year ago
@joshua5049 No, actually Hank's full-time job is manning the Ecogeek website. His 'life work' is mostly about raising awareness about global warming and green technology.
Perhaps the analogy was a bad one. How's this: you meet an alchemist whose life dream is to discover the philosopher's stone, and then proceed to say, "I agree with pretty much everything you say. The only thing is... I don't believe in alchemy!"
Nani101 1 year ago
Hank you need to go to South Georgia if you want the non-paved part of the state. It's where I'm from, and there's lots of dirt roads and very few houses, because almost no one lives here. You must have been near Atlanta.

Question: If you speak quietly, could you turn the gunshot down a little to match your volume, because I had this turned wayyy up for how silent you were, and then the gunshot came out as A CANNON BLAST. BOOM. And I'm a little afraid my parents will freak out about gun fire coming from my room!

There is absolutely climate change occurring. But I really don't think it's because of anything mankind has done. The climate changes. You know... sometimes ice covers everything, sometimes everything is lava... and this was happening WAAAAY before people. I just think that when you're spending time and money trying to reverse it? You're wasting time and money. All you can do, like Hank said here, is get ready.
And that's my opinion on climate change/global warming.
K I'm done.

Could you provide more explanation as to how climate change is directly causing flooding/ other natural disasters?
What is a feasible solution to the problem of pavement in urban cities? In singapore, improved drainage systems seem to be the solution, rather than the problem.

That is the way it always is where I live in Ruidoso, NM. Drought and then flooding. Last year, two people died, but I was volunteering in Romania. But it was on the news there. My hostmother wasn't really fluent in English but she was trying to translate for me, and I was seeing this footage of my flooded hometown from across the Earth. So. It probably got coverage in Romania... a second world country.

This year is an El Nino Year which is a Southern Oscillation whereby the ocean temperature of Southern Chile and Indonesia swap. This may sound like it only affects these two places, but it leads to repercussions all over the world. Such as milder winters, sudden floods etc. Obviously the large urbanisation of Georgia doesn't help the floods, but that is why it was so severe; the combination of the two. El Nino has already started and normally lasts about 18 months.
