Time he faced the consequences.🤮

I live in glasgow and the flooding here is getting pretty bad aswell.
I got stuck driving home yesterday due to the flooding as cars couldn't drive through it.
Most likely the drains need clearing, the older parts of the cities where always built on higher ground.
Ask your council why drain and sewage cleaning that used to be done once a month. Is now done once a year if you are lucky leading to reduced run off capacity leading to localised flooding.
Nothing to do with more rain it’s an infrastructure problem the same all over.
Ironically the cop 26 is in Glasgow isn't it?
They need to update the ‘ Infrastructure’
@anonymous one You need to worry, especially when it’s affecting lives, and property!!🙄
Is this climate change ? Or allowing building on a flood plain, the give away is the flat land next to the river.
Could it possibly be both? The give away is the science.
@@tonydempsey9404 Who checks the science ? Is it correct or cherry picked ? We need clean air just look at the smog we used to get in London but is it true that man is responsible or is it just part of the natural cycle of the planet ? We need renewables as no one can argue that we can take from the planet faster than the planet can replace what we have taken. Is climate change man made or do we just see more because we have mobile phones with cameras ? Only time will tell the truth, with the socialist claiming they reversed climate change to we have not done enough and the conservatives filling their pockets with wades of money gained from selling things we did not need.
Now every one can go fishing from their doorstep.
It floods regularly. That's why it's called The Sands.
I was hoping someone with local knowledge would comment. Is this flooding the usual sort of level ? Or is it unusual ?
@@davidevans7797 I live in the Lake District and the floods this week have been pretty bad, but nothing we haven’t seen before.
@@davidevans7797 I live on the sands, thankfully I was unaffected but not everyone was as lucky. But aye this is totally normal, happens every year or two.
@@davidevans7797No it is on sandy soil, it's not unusual at all
That is it in a nutshell. But Dumfries pubs used to be bursting full of people from the seventies till finally in the mid nineties it was just weekends and even then there were empty pubs. People are moving away from the alcohol scene they want something new, its going out of fashion..like smoking.
This happens regularly at Whitesands in Dumfries, roughly once a year or two. There never seems to be any proper flood prevention measures taken.
What can you do against that level of rain? Seriously?
@@TriviaChallenge Don’t build on flood plains and slow the water down further up stream.
@@TriviaChallenge Build flood defences where the water is topping over the lower lying areas of the banking?
@@jamesperrie1393 Where do you get this flood plain stuff from ? Dumfries is hundreds of years old if it was always flooding there wouldn’t of built a town there.
@@martyfeldman3269 here’s a clue when the same area along a river continually floods then it’s a flood
Plain.
They built on flood plains and learned to manage the river, guess what when you stop looking after the river at the point of the flood and further up the river it floods again.
Do you actually believe no one is ever built on a flood plain. 😂😂
The boat is very useful item in this town.
I live on a hill.😀
Nothing new for Dumfries, I saw it like that 60 years ago and I imagine it was the same 360 years ago.
'I imagine' 🤦🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You would think, with modern technology, they would be able to stop the flooding? 🤷♀️🏴🇨🇦
@@bettyrobb8219 money talks.
@@greengrass9572 You got that right! 👍🏻🙋♀️🏴🇨🇦
Yes it was, It's interesting history if you read up on the witch drowning.
I can't understand why properties by riverfront always cost more 🤷♂️
Same for houses on or right on the edge of beaches.
views i guess
These ones don't
Why tell us to buy electric cars when we should be buying a boat.
That is so hilarious!
Tesla's float apparently, downriver to the sea I would assume
wow...raining in Scotland.....climate change obviously...😂
Better buy an extra pair of wellies..... ;}
Is this Thatcher fault too?
Look at the satellite images. Heavy Geoengineering today over uk. Just by chance
Drones are amazing.
When the sponge has been taken from the land upstream and then the rain fall increases (overall or relative to time it matters not) there can only be one outcome, unfortunately.
Their not listening, they think it’s to do with drains being blocked and new build estates on flood plains. No ! It’s over efficient land drainage and it’s just getting worse.
The road will cave in. Have you seen the jets of water that shoot out of the path from the dock park leading to St Michaels school? And about half way up the hill the water was running underfoot.That was a hot day so imagine that erosion 24hrs a day under the tar.
Wudnt be surprised if they start calling it River expansion.
will clean the rubbish out maybe before cop26. less concrete , housing and more open areas. This will be blamed on Global warming when in actual fact it's too many people
Semoga Tuhan yang maha kuasa melindungi umat-nya. Semoga tidak ada korban jiwa dalam peristiwa ini. Ini video kami file untuk pelajaran bagi kami yang tinggal dekat 4 gunung dan dekat 3 Danau dan dekat 2 sungai besar dan dekat 5 water fall DiDesa Desa pelosok diBali Indonesia
Hold cop 26 in Dumfries all the hot air will dry up the floods
Snp will put everything back to normal.!!!
Just in time for the COP.

I love the sweet, sweet irony of Glasgow flooding while it hosts the climate summit
english again ??
What a backdrop for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference!
It's the real deal sadly... we're gonna get more of this in the future
@@dedebrooklyn I think you and we have greater problems looming over the horizon. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), the Dutch national weather service, published a report today Klimatsignaal´21 based on the models of the UN-climatpanel IPCC published this summer 2021and KNMI´s own research. Their last 2014 report published forecasted a rising of the sea lever with 100 cm at the end of year 2100. Today´s report forecasts a rising between 54 cm and 121cm using a model where the world keeps burning fosil fuels and Earth warms up with 4,4 degree celsius. In a more optimistic IPCC model the sea level rises at the end of the 21th century between 30 cm and 94 cm. It also forecast more extreme weather like Europe experienced this summer 2021 in France, Luxemburg, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands along the river Meuse and Mosel. ]or what South East England, Kent experienced August 2021. As a reaction on this Klimaatsignaal´21 report the Dutch Water Boards, Unie van Waterschappen, already demanded from our law makers to put this topic higher on their agenda.
@@micheltibon6552 Yes. About a meter by the end of the century under current emissions. Horton - Estimated global mean sea-level rise - NJP.
Well it’s got nothing to do with the climate scam.
@@micheltibon6552 these the same guys that said most of Florida and New York would under water by 2000 huge parts of the UK coastline gone under water.
Millions of hectares of land lost for ever.
Pacific islands gone.
Polar ice all gone.
🙏🏽
Whoa water everywhere!
Just in time for the COP26 conference. How coincidental.
This’ll somehow be the fault of the English.
And/or Brexit. Definitely nothing to do with EU laws stopping authorities dredging rivers, for risk of disturbing newts or some other cobblers.
I think they know it's climate change, you just sound like you have a chip on your shoulder, considering the majority of scots consider themselves british
Why not? The English should stop licking America's boots and free Julian Assange from the super max Belmarsh prison where he is rotting for exposing U.S. war crimes.
@@marcuspd477 You're not in the EU. Bit slow are you?
@Precious Chorf The English never clean up their mess. Look at Northern Ireland.
Climate is changing and very quickly. The whole planet must think togeter how to change the situation. I think the best variant is to build a new Society. It is the Creative Society.
It’s not changing very quickly. That’s why they keep saying, “In ten years it will be too late.” Then the 10 years passes by and we have only another ten years before it’s too late. So I’ll pass on that
@@salsalvio821 We actually have three years left. Further, the processes will accelerate exponentially. Everyone who tells us about some mythical decades does not tell the real truth. People themselves decided to tell, scientists who do not obey the system and think about people. That is why on December 4 there will be an online conference on climate with simultaneous translation into more than a hundred languages. Find out the truth! Join us!
Same reason for most of the flooding Britain I expect,, no money invested in flood relief maintenance for years.
If only scotland had independence. This the fault of the English.
Just a shower then
Now imagine what 5 times that amount of rainfall will do. It's going to happen sooner or later..
😂😂😂 do you actually believe the BS you spout.
Five times the amount of rainfall? That's Quite a bit
It’s been raining all day here in NE Scotland
No flooding here
Thanks for the weather report. A pity you know nothing about Climatology.
@@yanniritsarntyios5744 Or topology.
It’s been raining for 2 whole days here in North West England and we’ve been flooding since yesterday morning
It's been raining for a week here in Dumfriesshire. 'That' in itself is nothing new, but the amount of rain has been colossal. That's less than usual.
This is why councils and government need to spend money and time on flood defences, if what we are being told is true its only going to get worse globally. I hope the government pulls out all the stops to help the people affected.
The sands has always flooded, it's nothing new. You can't stop hundreds of years of erosion. What do you think is happening underneath the road? Can you remember the giant sinkhole up at the traffic lights at the dock park?It was built on sandy soil.
Kranky said this wouldn't of happened if Scotland was independent 🤣🤣 and that the covid pass will keep all flood victims safe and the vaccine
Any opportunity to say something childish eh?
@@reecekennedy8528 🙈🙊🙉
Better build that wall back up
It’s ok SNP are saying this never happened, and would never have happened if U.K. never left EUSSR
What happens when rivers are not maintained.
😨🌋🔥
Hello Cristina, your photo said pretty much about you, how are you doing today?
Aitken blamed Maggie, for a plague of rats in Glasgow now biblical rain, what next ? and who do we blame for this mess, Brexit , Boris, hmmmm. Sturgeon and Salmon could there be a link
Dreadful for the residents, that's why we need to bring back river dredging you know. The thing that's used to happen every year until EU made it illegal, under the hat of environment.
Sorry, people's houses are more important than a butterfly.
No need to fret, the wildlife will move to other areas.
What other area’s 😂 🤔
@@wrinklies2167 Upstream! There's miles and miles of 'the same' river upstream, all providing the same types of habitat - sand banks, gravel banks, shallow areas. There's no need to dredge any of that. (Besides, you couldn't even if you wanted to).
The same plants and animals live here, upstream, as live in the small length of river section that flows through the town.
I cannot see that there would be any major harm in dredging this small section to protect the town. By continually flooding this area, causing damage to buildings, fittings, business products and vehicles - that's causing way more environmental damage in disposing and replacing all of that than dredging a limited area of river.
No Sound?...
That's coz they've got Sod All to say. Weather manipulation.
Hahahaha laughing at you muppets from my comfy home in London. Have your independence as well on us. Muppets.
That operator is being VERY daft flying 1) in the rain and 2) at those speeds over folks homes. Don't shout at me but it's that kinda use that brings in more rules which in time will just stop us flying drones without silly licences which knowing this country, will be in the £1000s to get.
Where is wee Jimmy cranky in all this
Hahaha
Must be all the pollution from private jets coming to summit.
Global warming
Nope
Not entirely
Climate Emergency first announced in 1980 - emergency means imminent.
Horrible. Unfortunately get used to it. Intense rainfall events are increasing because of Climate Change.
If you think it’s to do with climate change and flooding is somehow a new concept you’ve really been hitting that coolaid 🤣
@@thomasace2547 Totally with you on that score, I'm nearly 70 and recall the excitement of watching the river near my childhood home flood regularly when I was less than 10 years old.
@@thomasace2547 Kool-Aid. And they drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown. You can't even get that right. Westra - Future changes to the intensity and frequency of short-duration extreme rainfall - Reviews of Geophysics.
For every one degree C of global temperature rise, which we've had in the Industrial Era, there is an increase of 7% water vapour in the atmosphere, this is causing more intense rainfall events. Because water vapour is also a Greenhouse gas it's positive feedback which also increases warming.
@@thomasace2547 increased extreme weather events. Welcome to the anthropocene mr “ace”.
@@yanniritsarntyios5744 Calling “Climate Change” a strictly human endeavour is to completely ignore Billions of years of this planets climate shifts
And even then, the global climate report could only verify that over the last 200 years the medium temperature increase is “maybe” 3’C
Antarctica just had one of its coldest winters ever recorded
No, I’m not saying Man doesn’t effect climate, but year on year methane build up from cattle farming is more than what vehicles contribute.
Look at China, they have increased their coal burning by a factor of *5X* in 30 years, and want to continue, and as a local side effect now deal with larger floods than normal, not only climate involved by also from destructive Hydro Dams
If you really think the U.K. is a great climate change influence, you are indeed delusional
Don’t worry, the English tax payers will pay for any damage…
ThatI doubt.
Aye well fair enough if you insist.
The Office for Budget Responsibility, in its report on Wednesday’s budget, estimates that the long-term impact of Brexit will be more than twice as great as Covid and three times that of climate change..
