Politicians everywhere are again conveniently putting the blame for the misery and financial losses caused by floods, suffered by millions of householders and tenants, on "identified climate changes" !
Is this explanation acceptable and really the whole truth ? The current floods for numerous towns and villages are not alas, just the first for a long time but a painfull repetition !
Sometimes permits have also been granted to build houses on land which was known to have been flooded in the past ! How can local mayors and officials justify issuing such permits ? They should be publically "named and shamed" !
When waterways and streams overflow quick remedial action is expected by inhabitants to prevent a repetition of such floods. In some cases the work required may be in other Local Council areas : it could even become a National obligation, requiring huge investments !
