Amy Hall meets outspoken Filipino campaigner Lidy Nacpil, who shares her thoughts on floods, solidarity and ramming home the climate-change message. Lidy Nacpil grew up in Metro Manila in the Philippines. A passionate environmentalist, she started out as a student protester in the early 1980s, part of the movement against the Ferdinand Marcos dictatorship and now heads up anti-debt campaign Jubilee South Asia. http://www.apmdd.org/ |

Jump To Comment: 1Global warming will increase the frequency and severity of flooding the alarmists claim. They predict that climate change impacts are even worse than they previously predicted. Sea-levels are rising and we are all going to drown with the polar bears. Standard bedwetting nonesense. As for this particular 'theory'...
The National Technical University of Athens studied discharge records of the world’s river basins and found they showed a decreasing trend in floods over the past 50 years.

The researchers examined extreme floods at 119 stations worldwide with records longer than 50 years. In particular, they analyzed ”trends and persistence (else known as Hurst-Kolmogorov dynamics), which characterizes the temporal streamflow variability across several time scales.”
Noting the “common belief” that ”the severity, frequency and consequences from floods have been increased in recent years,” the Bouzotios team sought to determine “whether there is a general increasing tendency worldwide, especially considering the last climate period (after 1970) when the effects of global warming are believed to be apparent.”
