Noah No Arch: Scientific Leaders Warn Against Impending Climate Change Catastrophes Including Floods and Fires Across the Globe

For those who have not been keeping up with world news reports regarding the various natural disasters that have taken place here's your wake up call. Deadly floods in both China and Europe and wild fires in Algeria and the United States are rampaging the land.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. According to the IPCC we can expect to see extreme weather in varying degrees across the globe including, "rising sea levels and an acceleration in the rate and extremity of famines, droughts, deadly heat, diseases and species extinction".

Since late July floods in China have submerged the homes of and displaced thousands. Videos encompassing the sheer immensity of the damages done are all over social media. In Central China, chilling videos of the Zhengzhou subway station flood provide a glimpse of the horror humanity is facing. Many trapped on the submerged train recorded what they thought to be, and in some cases were, their last moments as water quickly seeped through the crack of the train doors. According to CNN, thirty-three lives were lost in the Zhengzho area, twelve in which were lost in this train catastrophe.

Now even in August, approximately 80,000 people have been evacuated from the Sichuan Province in southwestern China as floods devastate the area. The damage have reached nearly 25 billion USD and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. 

In Algeria sheer calamity reigns since August 9th, as wildfires devastate the countryside. Approximately 65 souls have been lost since the blaze began. According to CNN, "severe heatwaves of 48 degrees Celsius (over 118 Fahrenheit) was recorded in the areas of the fire". Some authorities in the country have suspicions these fires may have been premeditatedly set and then became out of control. Others say wildfires are not a new phenomenon in that region but, however, the current raging blaze is unlike any they've ever seen.

In the United States, the now named Dixie Fire has now been marked as the largest wild fire this nation has ever seen. Dixie has now scorched approximately 50,000 acres of land in Northern California with no end in sight to its pervasion of the land. Californias regular wildfire season has said to be exacerbated by the extreme drought the land has been faced with.
