Comments on: Midwest Floods, East Coast Sizzles

Displaced Residents Assess Storm Damage; Heat Advisories In Effect Along Eastern Seaboard

When it''s hot, they report it, but when it''s cold they don''t.
Washington state and Oregon are as abnormally cold as the east coast is hot. Why do they avoid mention of that? The North American weather always does this balancing of east and west.
Why don''t they educate the readers to that?
Because they want to feed global warming panic.

[i wonder why it''''s news when the east coast "bakes" under high temps and high humidity when it''''s an every day occurence during the summer where i live? i don''''t see national news media covering the heat wave here....]

why are you wondering? you''ve answered your own question.

if it''s normal it''s not news worthy ... if it''s unusual it is. that''s why they call it ''new''(s).

If us in the northeast had a similar even happen it wouldn''''t phase us. We are more advanced, more sophisticated and definately more intelligent. It wouldn''''t be as catastophic as it is to you simple farmers and hillbillies who don''''t understand technology.

I don''t see in the article above or from the news I have read that any one is being phased in the midwest. In fact, everyone seems to be rallying around to fight what may be a 500 HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD. This is not something that is simply avoided or happens because we are devoid of technology. It is no different than the rare yet devasting Northeast Hurricane or a severe winter storm. Unfortunately, you are doing nothing to back up your statement of superior intelligence in the Northeast, so perhaps you should go work on the "Big Dig" and other brilliant projects. In fact it seems that the Northeast has caused alot of the recent financial/credit crisis and asset/commodity bubbles- brilliant.

Destruction breeds creation. Creation breeds destruction. Humans just keep breeding and breeding, and asking stupid questions like "WHY?!".

[acolton1]

Most of these people who are getting flooded out live in a flood plane and we as humans have tried to confine rivers and streams to small contained banks and when Mother Nature chooses to dump 4 to 10 inches of rain in 36 hours the water has to go some place. If these people rebuild in the same area they need to be required to build their house on a small raised hill so next time it floods they are above the rivers crest.

Oh, FFS. You act like this could never happen if we were perfectly ecologically responsible. Get a life, and while you''re at it, find a heart and some sympathy for these folks. What - floods and hot weather NEVER happened decades before we had pollution and our other issues? Lecture someone else, and while you''re at it, try not to break anything while falling off of your ivory podium.

no... nothing is happening to our climate and our planet... go back to sleep.... sleeep.... sleeeeepp....
we don''t need to change anything about the way we live on this planet... not a thing.... its only just begun....
