Raging flood waters wreak havoc across Midwest 

Well to be fair, the dam didn't fail, it just got clogged up with debris and the water found its own path around the dam.

dams never cramp

😂

Are you being sarcastic? Why wouldn't a 114 year old dam fail?

I'm from Europe. Never planed to travel there. And even I know you have such dams.

CBS evening news shouldn’t blame “climate change “ like honestly that dem needed upgraded. 🙄😒

@@seanpetaia Why? This is natural climate change. There's been times in history where places under the ocean were above ground and the other way around. It's going to change and there's nothing we can do about it.

The Rapidan dam was debated to be torn out years ago.If this dam fails at this point the river would Only move up maybe a foot for a few days.Then most likely recede if you don’t have more rain for a couple of days.

@@georgemocol7360 well they shouldn’t just done that years ago. LOL

Ok, what’s really going on here? Clue me in.

@@jeffreylindley845 We'd need a different dynamic to discuss that.

A warmer atmosphere can hold more water, that comes down sooner or later. It basic physics. Floodings like this are in the rise all around the world.

@@monkfishmondfinsternis3162 The oceans rise and fall with de-glaciation and glaciation. To assign more rain to a specific cause is a fools errand.

@@monkfishmondfinsternis3162 I'm sure that's a big part of it. Makes me feel bad for people living near those areas.

Facts...with all the stratospheric aerosol injections too. The government is trying to play God.

Burning fossil fuels-this is well aware of now ✌️

Don't forget the US Military; biggest polluter in the world

​@@scottanderson3751I'm burning diesel fuel, right now. 🍻

Exactly, weather whiplash.

Because some wont address climate change. They call it rain like always until it crumbles the infrastructure.

If you’re speaking about Ukraine those are old munitions we’re sending them. And Israel is an ally like it or not. Plus we’re America we can walk and chew gum so if your ok with that concept don’t vote for Kristi cause look at her vote pertaining to the very subject you talk of. If your from South Dakota I hope your family and loved ones are safe but I still believe we’re a country that can hope for that around the world and help where we can. You’re spot on about infrastructure though!

Because that's where the special interest money comes from wars not fixing America. The politicians the red states vote for voted down Biden's infrastructure bill to address this damn along with many other failing infrastructure issues. And even after voting against it the still took credit for the reduced funds they receive anyway. I short your states are falling apart because that's what you vote for.

Oh so is the right going to admit we need to fix infrastructure due to out of control climate change?

Because of the residents, half want the dam, half want it gone and flooding mitigation added. Can't agree on how to fix it, for a few years now...

Good catch. The Missouri does bisect the Dakota's, but makes for the eastern border of Nebraska with Iowa as you stated. I can't imagine how a dumb mistake like that could be made by our fabulous main stream media!? 🙄😂

Yeah! I noticed that also.

No need to be gay about it.

Dang I thought the Missouri flows into Mississippi 😅

Well that escalated quickly.

The media are the circus clowns let go when Ringling Brothers folded the tent.

I don’t think I will even try to answer an absurd question like this.

Every area of this country is and will be affected by climate change. And I assume that's where you live? Unless you're Russian and you got your own problems.

When people say repeatedly that they have never seen flooding like this in this area you might think that was worth paying attention to?!

😂 they said Miami was done for

@@christyann1201 Seriously? You never heard the expression, "if you don't want to get wet, don't live near the water." I guess you don't know what a floodplain is either.

whew...something's sure incorrect in Minnesota rehab but I suppose a surplus beats the obscene intentional federal deficit . Now who's going to stop the cloud seeding that is causing these intentional disasters?

It’s the lead story because 100 or 1000 year events are happening every freaking day. And it’s gonna cost us billions and billions and billions and trillions we must get our head out of the sand.

Yeah they leave out the fact that a lot of the midwest is basically low lying swamp land.

Isn't Faux News more your style?

FYI Climate change is very real and there has been a trend toward more extreme weather over the last 15 years. Temperatures have averaged over 1.5 C above the average of 100 years ago every month for the past 14 months. That has never happened before. Consequently, there have been an increasing number of heat waves that are breaking records all over the world. And because the climate is warming it holds more moisture and consequently extreme flooding results. With the increasing temperatures also brings increasing drought. With increasing drought comes worsening wildfires. We just had 2 fires here in New Mexico a week a go that almost destroyed the town of Ruidoso. The cause is suspected arson, but the cause doesn't explain the explosive nature of the fire which happened because of drought conditions, higher temperatures and strong winds. Climate change doesn't depend on you believing in it. But when countless agencies, scientists and countries are all saying we need to get more concerned about climate change than maybe it's time to start listening!!

You don't need to belief in climate change but it will affect you sooner or later.

It is really . It just went around it ..

Dude, read back what you just said; IT'S 110 YEARS OLD GENIUS, there's 100s like that that arent getting the attention needed. Dams are supposed to last like 80-100years TOPS on good years.

Republicans refuse to pay for infrastructure maintenance.

Stop giving funding to other countries and start using that money to fix our own infrastructure!

It's doing its job just fine, it's the bank the failed.

you are so right ..............tired of hearing climate change bs

THAT'S THE FACT! The Returned Messiah Yahoshua appointed Highest Living Authority on the planet 🌏 by the World Court has been saying this 40years+

Regardless of what is causing it... climate change is real. Deal with it.

I D 10 T

Nature is trying to rebalance what WE HUMANS HAVE CAUSED... Seems like y'all skipped out on science growing up

Do you realise what a 'tiny' amount $70 billion dollars is - when compared to what is spent on the US military every year, even in peace times? Or how about that 'trillion dollars' that Trump printed during the peak of the economic crisis during his term? I'm talking of that famous trillion dollars, which vanished in an hour as the stock markets continued to plummet regardless. A trillion equals a 'thousand billion' dollars. All gone in an hour, having done nothing, no good at all, not for the US economy, not for a war torn country in distress. Just another disastrous decision flushed down the economic toilet, and slapping another trillion on the US Debt Clock. So, America can well afford $70 billion - because I'm quite sure the current administration has already made a good deal with Zelensky for some deals on those famous mineral rich deposits in the Ukraine (which you wouldn't be getting if the country was to fall into Russian hands. That will all go to China, I have no doubt). Therefore, you must see the bigger picture by now. $70 billion is dream money to the likes of you and me, who couldn't even envisage what that much money could do. But to a government that throws many billions per year into social security, many more into the military, the war against drugs, education for all children, the building of infrastructure, justice and policing, fire and rescue services, goodness knows how much religious-motivated rubbish (and in turn, doesn't tax the church, allowing some of its various leaders to live on disgusting levels of wealth that rival even the Pope), and an increasing amount into the environment - $70 billion is next to nothing these days, especially considering the massive leaps in inflation on almost everything in recent years.

What we really need is more tax cuts for billionaires cuz then the money will trickle down to you little people

@@howardj602 Wow... that's deep.

We are all doomed. I don't think we are going to last until tomorrow. Climate change is going to get us all.

@@ShawnC.W-King Climate change denying is smart. It started out as global warming, but when that failed, they had to rename it. Go figure.

Makes no sense whatsoever.

I bet space aliens are involved. //nod

@@Tessmage_Tessera Google weather modifications LLC and SOAR Their flight plans are open source to the public

If this was true we would not have droughts

Isn't it interesting that the conspiracy theory crowd always points to cloud seeding when there is a flood, but have zero explanation for persistent drought in many areas around the world?!?!

@@jonnythreat HAARP givith and HAARP taketh away. The military has a Dept. of Weather Warfare. If you believe they don't use their toys to push their agenda , you are already a lost soul. We see the jets that are nowhere to be seen , suddenly show up in big numbers, but the only place they fly is back and forth in front of the sun. The Dem leaders just proposed that we start "blocking out the sun" . They have been doing it for years . Every now and then they allow a blue sky all day, so does that mean all the airports have shut down? Sure think that would be on the news . I remember how the skies used to be . Contrails dissipate within minutes, Chemtrails hang in the sky all day. Plus you might try to explain the numerous times I have seen jets with huge white trails that suddenly stop and the jet continues to fly across the sky with no trail at all. Must be gliding to conserve fuel , right?? Except jets don't glide , they drop out of the sky. It's not a conspiracy, it's called Critical Thinking!!!

You really have no idea how the government in this country budgets money do you?? Money going to Ukraine and Israel was allocated by Congress! It comes from an entirely different funding source than funds that go for disaster relief in this country! Of course I get that you are just making a cheap shot because the US is still funding those wars!! 🙄

90% of our DC politicians receive campaign funds from their Sugar Daddies, the defense contractors. There is you answer!

I don't see what flooding has to do with sending money to Ukraine but maybe that's just what you like to complain about but you also probably complain about the construction site you have to go through because the United States is spending money on infrastructure

@@2024.choice Apparently some people like to complain about something in this case the aid going to fight the war in Ukraine even though it is completely irrelevant to a flood in Minnesota!? 🙄

Tell that to 90% of our DC politicians that receive campaign funds from their Sugar Daddies, the defense contractors. How dare they say No more funding!

Climate change does not create these events, it makes them happen more often, and more intense. GG on the big brain!

Drought = climate change. Flood = climate change

Yeah but now it happens every year not just once every 50yrs. By the way scientists have been warning of an increase in extreme weather events due to man made climate change since the 1950s.

@@anthonybeaudry1547 oh baloney. Climate Change has ALWAYS occurred and it always WILL. You can't alter it. We are in the last days because of human sin and depravity, and the Lord's return is very near. Forget climate -- get your soul right with God through His Son Jesus!

👍👍 to Anthony''s comment and try learning the difference between weather and climate.

THIS. Wish people would wake the eff up. Your government is at fault, not mother nature.

If you didn’t watch the video, watch it and see. If you did watch, time to take up sudoku for those comprehension skills bro.

It's part of their " Global warming/Climate change caused the rain that wrecked the dam

Okay as you can see the damn did not fail polar ice melting puts more moisture in the air picked up moved around the planet comes back to Earth in the form of rain rain causes flooding water will always find the lowest point and it found it at the end of the Damn the river is simply making a new path around the damn so your answer is the amount of rain that fell was caused by climate change hope this answers your question

It’s lost billions that was supposed to be used on infrastructure to take care of such things over a decade ago. But CBS won’t investigate any of that.

They didn't remove debris from the Rapidan Dam in a timely manner. However, maybe they have a good excuse.

Hey , what happened to the billions in biden's infrastructure bill, oh that's right, they gave it all to the Ukraine

trump denied climate change and pulled the US out of the Paris climate Accords. The Accords were far from perfect, but it was a small step in the right direction. Those accords were only weak promises for reducing emissions in the future, but trump was so brain dead about anything having to do with science that he realized that he couldn't make money off of it or benefit from it in some way so he withdrew the US from it. In other words trump set the country back several years.

Because that’s too much like right and they won’t do it.

Once they find a way to market storm water collection we will see it

Water isn't a trillion dollar industry xD.

She should also recall the SD National Guard from Texas where she sent them to watch the border but they are legally not allowed to do anything. Performative politics at its best.

The second or third time a right winger has to evacuate because of fire or flood, they suddenly believe in climate change.

I thought the same thing. They just had to sneak that in there. 😆

Sh*t happens, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Too late!

Amen. People forget about all the pets, stray and wild animals who die. :(

Because the dam didn't break, the water is going around the dam and tearing up rock. No spillway.

It does now unfortunately for that family 😞

@@ShawnC.W-King🥺

It isn't just that this kind of flood hasn't happened in quite a while in this area it's the FACT that these kinds of extreme flooding events are becoming more common around the world. The climate is warming and consequently the atmosphere can hold more moisture than in the past. It's just basic physics!!

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 I want to see the data that these events are becoming more common. I don't even know how you quantify something like that. Does this event count as 1 flood, or many floods? And what's the criteria if it counts as many floods?

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Might be a 100 year or 500 year rain. ALL CAPS does not add any validity to any claim you want to declare a FACT. I can ALL CAP THINGS TOO. ZERO VALUE ADDED. Spewing something you believe does not make it fact.

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Al Gore said the seas would be a foot higher by now. What other crazy ideas do you proclaim as FACT? Let me guess. You think The Big Guy is running the show.

@@random2917 Caps are used for emphasis only and the evidence collected definitely shows an increase in extreme weather events over the last decade in particular. Drought, flooding, heat waves, larger hurricanes and so on have all increased in intensity and frequency in the last decade which coincides with the more rapid rise in the average global temperature. Some areas see a higher increase than others in the average temperature, but it is going up most everywhere. Some areas have cooler than normal temperatures, but those areas are becoming less common with time. And you can easily do a search to find the data that backs up these claims. I am merely a messenger to the increasing understanding about climate change. Like many others I find it interesting to restate what the climate scientists are saying in venues like this one.

You know there's an old adage that states that people often ridicule what they don't understand!! Thanks for being the one to set such a good example of that adage!

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 He makes a good point though. People have been whining about climate change for how many decades now, and the melting ice caps, and how the seas are rising, but then nothing is ever done to prepare for things like this. Too busy shaming people about their carbon footprint, like that's a solution. How many billions sent to Ukraine instead of fixing up our infrastructure and be better prepared against the climate change apocalypse that's supposedly coming.

@@reignman30 Nasa satelites measure ice caps and they are actually bigger, so show me one city that is now underwater because the " oceans are rising " yup , they been whining for so long that people didn't even notice that none of the predicted climate end of the world scenarios have happened.

😂😅. You've got it soooooooo backwards because it's the people who are in denial about climate change that need to wake up and get their collective heads out of the sand. The science for climate change has only gotten stronger. So instead of living in denial 24/7 try having an open mind for a change. The only thing you lose from a better understanding of climate change is ignorance!!

Nasa"s weather satelites have already proven there has been no increase in temp for the last 20 years . There are and always has been records broken here and there. The polar Ice is melting and the whole coast will be underwater. But the news hasn't shown us the coasts under water. The so called expert climate alarmists warned us many times how the world would end in 5 yrs, never happened , they said ten years, never happened , same tired fear mongering but nothing has killed us off. The think when they make these dire predictions , no one will remember and call BS, Hey , guess what, we are still here. Kind of reminds me how Y2K , when we hit the year 2000 and the world would end. Hey , wait , it's 2024
