      Climate scientists foretold all this at least 40 years ago when I first heard the warnings but oil companies and governments didn't want to know. Misinformation was spread partly because today's Scientists tend to say " as far as we know" and " the data we have now tells us....". This is too subtle and was used by Petrochemical PR departments to sow the seeds of doubt that it is our burning of petrochemicals. Etc.

    This is why we need to build berms and swales on contour all over Europe: to stop flooding and prevent forest fires. Each berm/swale are about 2-10 meters apart depending on the slope of the land and other conditions. The filter the water and keep streams flowing weeks longer than they normally would in drier areas. A great jobs program that saves lives and property as well.

    This is so tragic and I know how it feels . I have been the victim of several floods in my time . He has lost his workshop but there will be plenty of work for a carpenter rebuilding . I hope insurance will replace his tools of trade . So in one way he is far better off than someone who has lost a job that will not be connected with any recovery . I hate floods . I lost everything once and had to walk miles and miles down the river searching for lost stuff all I found was one wedding photo stuck on a barbed wire fence .
