Hello Eyad: Your first sentence was right on target. The rest of the comment said the exact opposite. Flood management is about understanding nature. Earth has its own cycles. Mankind is not significant enough to change anything regarding nature. Somehow you believe man controls CO2, not nature. here is one simple fact that may increase the understanding of nature. The UN had gathered information of how much waste mankind creates per years. To make this easier to understand I converted everything into pounds. Mankind creates 400 billion pounds of waste every year. Nature (all animals, birds, fish, trees etc) create 600 billion pounds of waste per year. This total is 0ne Trillion pounds of waste per year. Nature has been cleaning the earth for the last 4.5 billion years. man not around then. Let us put a number to natures ability to clean the earth. 1 trillion = 1 x 10 to the 12th power. Microbial biodegradation and some erosion have the cleaning capacity of 1 x 10 to the 24th power. Mankind and nature would need to increase waste 1 trillion times to reach breaking point. Ignorance and waste of available resources is are only challenge. Top scientists in the world have estimated the Earth can reach a population of 80 billion before any crisis would occur. We have the technology and all of the resources. The number one problem is government interference. Using your natural resources I can show you how to eliminate all waste in your country and turn your desert into the Arabian Forest. You have but to ask! Live long and prosper.
