Extreme flooding in coastal areas
Climate change has just became real, causing extreme flooding in coastal areas particularly in Western Cape.
This coastal area has experienced high rise in water levels which resulted in dangerous and costly flooding in the Western Cape. eNCA speaks to Dr Jan De Vynck a Paleo-ecolgist at the University of the Witwatersrand. #DStv403

No matter how hard we try....No one can drill common sence into the heads of stupid people !!!!
Stop talking crap, this was normal storms all the years,in cape town and overberg and up the coast lived in it experinced it, if you build in low lying areas and infrastructue not maintained you get flooding, records of 20 50,and a 100 year floods are available.
News should talk less kak, and more about government being useless and unprepared for these changes.
The flooding is due to an increase in urban expanse. Surface runoff INCREASES because water absorption per soil area has been reduced. DURRR. More hard surfaces eg roads, car parks etc = less water absorption by soil, consequently more surface water. House and property walls retain more water per stand, increasing ground water build up, which on slopes = mudslides, building collapse owing to sub surface water pressure build up. Building on slopes now, highly dangerous, like the informal settlements on river verges.
The municipality’s need to start to clean our stormwater drains. It’s all blocked.

De Vynk is wrong to the suggest that the current planetary warming can be explained by Milankovitch cycles (he called this the Malinowski theory). It is also not debatable that the majority of this change is anthropogenic.

Really....and why did nobody ever heard your name before????
Well said Dr. Jan
If the people stop throwing their trash in the streets,they wont have this kind of problem..... Why are some places cleaner than others?? =because they look after their areas properly..
This are the end time prophesies.
Its not only here in SA. The world is experiencing adverse weather conditions on a weekly basis all of a sudden.

All pretty normal Ben, we have only been around 40-60 years, in earth terms we can't judge a few storms etc, and we know the sea levels have been higher than now, and we just came out of a min ice age, so why are we all of a sudden supprised?

Expect it: it's the equinox. Julius Caesar complained about equinoctial storms (Gallic Wars Bk IV_
Nonsense
Climate change HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE.......... i am glad i am "STUPID" because i understood nothing that was said.
End time warnings, the second coming of Jesus Christ is very near. Matthew 24 in the bible said it. God love you, he is ready to save you.
I'm blaming Apartheid for the storms

That's Polital Climate change, how I wish for a Apartheid government that was prepared for disaster management, do you remember the Laingsburg flooding ND government's efficiency in dealing with the aftermath. These ANC political clowns could learn from an Apartment government that were better at humanitarian behavior even if their moral compas were comprised, bring back those days.....
Oomie praat kak....
This man is Kaballah. Bye!
