With warming of the planet, were tending to get more extreme weather events, whether in the west with droughts getting worse and fire seasons getting longer or with extreme rainfall events. there are recent studies how tropical systems are stalling out more, not moving as quickly. wasnt the case with ida. this storm moved 20 to 25 miles per hour through the region. but as the planet gets warmer, theres warm water vapor in the air, more moisture in the air. when we have storms, they can produce m...

Risks. for instance, with flooding knowing if you are in a high-risk area to flooding, and fortifying our defenses. one of the success stories out of hurricane ida was the improved levy system in new orleans after hurricane katrina, which held up during the intense winds and storm surge and prevented flooding within the city limits itself. >> when you look forward, when you pull the thread forward, it seems to me it has been clear to folks like yourself what is coming and it has been more of the...

We are drilling in the autumn, and without that plough, we are reducing the carbon that way. once all the crop has been harvested, what do you do to protect that soil from increasing extreme rainfall events ? in the autumn, we would drill a crop into there, use that as almost as a false crop during the winter period and then we would kill off that crop and plant a new crop in there which will be our cash crop for the spring. we see really heavy storms that we are trying to protect and try to pro...

And we have to be prepared. rainfall has been extreme but are we prepared enough for these events for example, little things like this reservoir significant in stopping floods. are we prepared, well enough for these rainfall events? its really frustrating because as a climate scientist and hydrologist to see people not prepared for these really bad floods that we have seen. i know that we have to have places like this reservoir to store water, to stop it rushing down to peoples houses and into t...

Things like this reservoir is significant in stopping a town getting floods. so, are we prepared enough for these extreme rainfall events? its really frustrating actually as a climate scientist, as a hydrologist, to see people not prepared for these really bad floods that weve seen. i know that we need to have these places, just like this reservoir, to store the water, to stop it rushing down to peoples houses and to the streets. but we just havent done anything about it. we make such small step...

And drilling in the autumn, direct drilling the crop seed into it without that plough movement, so were reducing carbon that way. and once all these crops have been harvested and youve got bare soil, what do you do to protect that soilfrom, say, increasing extreme rainfall events? so, in the autumn, we would direct drill a cover crop into there and use it as almost as a false crop during that winter period and then come the springtime, we would kill off that crop and then plant a new crop in the...

And these types of heat events and fires are possible. we have seen some of this in the historical record as well. but when we look towards the future of climate we know that these things are going to happen more often and we need to be more prepared. of course, the rainfall has been extreme but are we prepared enough for these events? for example, in the little things like this reservoir it is significant in stopping a town getting floods. so are we prepared enough for these extreme rainfall ev...

Have done traditionally? so traditionally this would have been a plough—based system. we would have cloud it and then drilled in the autumn or winter wheat or we would have ploughed it here ready for the spring cropping and left it as a plough over the winter. very much that releases an awful lot of carbon and it creates an awful lot of energy. so to reduce that we are now doing direct drilling and drilling in the autumn, direct drilling the crop seed into it without that plough movement, so w...
