With warming of the planet, we're 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. wasn't the case with ida. this storm moved 20 to 25 miles per hour through the region. but as the planet gets warmer, there's warm water vapor in the air, more moisture in the air. when we have storms, they can produce more rain. that tendency would tell us that still really dramatic pictures coming in. you can see ...

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 disfunction in our politics prevented us from acting. when you look forward now, what do you see? >...

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? it's 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 the streets. we just haven't done anything about it. we make such small steps and we know that the f...

Things like this reservoir is significant in stopping a town getting floods. so, are we prepared enough for these extreme rainfall events? it's really frustrating actually as a climate scientist, as a hydrologist, to see people not prepared for these really bad floods that we've seen. i know that we need to have these places, just like this reservoir, to store the water, to stop it rushing down to people's houses and to the streets. but we just haven't done anything about it. we make such small steps, and we know that the future's going to get worse, so we need more of this preparation. could ...
