- Flooding in parts of England and Wales has been described as "unprecedented" - but scientists say the bleak reality is that climate change will lead to more erratic weather.

The government said today it can't protect everybody. So is a new approach to the climate emergency needed?
We’ve spent the day with families evacuated from their homes, who are now counting the cost - financial and emotional.

That's why its called a flood plane it floods
Flood plains, water meadows, marshes and woodland all prime building land. Very sorry for those victims of flooding.
Clear the ditches and plant more trees ......it's the stuff we learn as kids at school. Best wishes to all that have suffered in the storms .
No..all they have to do is use celotape on all the little gaps on all the doors and no water will get in..simple
What would the trees do?
My goodness, this is like watching catastrophic flooding in the United States.
Christopher, you got that right!
Accept less Jesus. Doh. Spoke too soon.
No - we have much better floods than that
flood plains don't care how long we have kept weather records
Don't build on a floodplain.
There you go, using common sense, brains, facts, and historical evidence to come to a rational conclusion!
Shame on you!
You KNOW that the Enviro-Whacko Fanatics will continue to demand that our Biosphere STOP operating as it has for BILLIONS of YEARS, because they are here, and they want the weather and the environment to operate as it has for the last 100 years......their elitism, narcissism, and arrogance knows no bounds....and reality be damned for it!
You realize that if you were to offer your real world solution openly, in public, say in a pub, or at a town hall, you would actually find yourself under threat of physical violence from the Enviro-Whacko Fantatics?
No foolin! These people's elevators (Lifts) don't go all the way to the top, and there's a small number of those within that larger group, who're missing several bricks from a full load, who believe that people like you and I need to be 're-educated' in 'special camps' so we can't "infect others" with our 'lunacy'.
It's become that bad!
Watch your six, because 'free speech' is dangerous these days!

and don't choose to live on one either
They didn't, I don't think you realise how old the towns an villages are
The problem is the EU ban on dredging. Rivers aren't being dredged any more, which is why a fairly average winter storm leads to record high water levels.
@@metalmad89
But I do realize. Villages that were around in Viking times (800 AD-1200 AD) knew how streams, creeks, and rivers were affected by storms, heavy rains, and regular rains.
Those folks were NO DUMMIES!
They lived, and died, by what they knew of the land, the waterways, and the forests! They were a LOT closer to 'nature' than 99% of folks living today!
I just happen to respect them and give them credit for knowing their own lands, waterways, and weather, than you do!
People today are PRESUMPTIVE, ARROGANT, ELITIST, and NARCISSISTIC! They DEMAND things that have NO basis in reality, nor do they understand how to compromise with nature in real world terms.
Want to build down on a flood plain? No problem, the Govt. will bail us out when it floods!
No more freebies for people who refuse to accept reality as it is, rather than how they'd like it to be!
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY, USA
Need to start dredging rivers again
The Flying Yorkshireman we certainly do
James Pryhs exactly and I’ve been lobbying my MP for new rules on house building to allow as much as possible for the natural wildlife and trees to be retained when building on green belt to balance the eco system back up again and they have said it will be in one of the new bills they pass now we are independent again. 👍🏻
If you build on a flood plain this can happen! 👎
Faith returns - We need to, to house all the new immigrants. It’s a price we pay for diversity.
Collie House emigrants send these 2 storms? How stupid can you get
Why are you talking about electric cars its NOT going stop the floods its totally irrelevant!
Not really.
How about giving money away to Syria, Africa etc we keep it for when disasters like this happen here in the UK.
Plant more trees ......😬
100%
Not cut trees down
@@JonsTunes You can cut down a tree, but instead this one you should plant three trees. This is a harmony.
@@Echinacea53 Not enough trees are being planted though, plus the time to maturity is to long.
2 million trees worldwide are cut down every 12 hours! 28 million/week...every week.
@@Echinacea53 It's not only the quantity of trees planted that's an issue but the species of trees and the survival rate of those planted trees are low.
My thoughts and prayers go out to ALL affected by these floods. Much love 💗💗💓🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why can't these people elevate houses 10 feet off the ground instead of building traditional two story houses? It's easier to lose a car than a whole house. It's just pure hubris.
this is a national disaster, and as a nation we are all responsible. these areas that are all suseptable to flooding is the result of our continued abuse of our countries resources, and our endless building and loss off matural flood plains, even after the water has gone, our troubles have only just begun, i couldnt help but notice how much sediment i saw in the flood water today, even more nutriants removed from our already struggling soils. this needs to be a wake up call. and making more flood deffenses is not the answer. changing the way we use our lands is the only sustainable solution, this continued spending on flood deffences and other development is only exaserbating the problem, as the water has to go somewhere and when you raise your flood deffences then all your doing is raising the water level down streem, meaning by the time you get to the lower levels yourll end up needing rediculessly high deffences to ensure against flooding, and thats just rediculess. we need to change our ways, big time, and we need to start yesterday.......
Exactly .....
I have lived in the UK for a year. I just moved back home. I don't want to fight with anybody but whole country has to change in so many ways to protect your country. The UK has to wake up and do something for the environment first. Spend less money to some silly things and make funding available for so many things. We paid tax after tax and kept hearing less funding for so many things. Whole country has to change the way you live.
Aurora lights I completely agree with you and it’s another reason we wanted to leave the EU. Now we can hold our own politicians to account and have our own courts deal with things rather than the ECJ overturning decisions. Our farmers have been making noises for years and now either Westminster does it’s job or they are out ! No more hiding and no more policies that don’t suit our islands needs compared to the mainland. I think they would tax the air we breath if they could !
@@Britsishmum7695 I honestly think they could tax the air if they can. I have never paid so many different type of taxes anywhere in the world. Water bill, electricity,... they were so high. Council tax, tv licences are ridiculous. I don't own the house but I still paid the council tax...Less funding for education, police departments, emergency services... Where all the tax money goes. I don't think only Brexit will help. Plus somebody has to do something about environment. The whole world is changing. I bought fruit in a plastic tray cover with plastic. I have never had to throw away so many garbage in my life.
Aurora lights I know we pay more for less but we payed a hefty lump to the EU but then we had to also pay fines if we broke their rules, we are paying billions out in aid to other countries and then there’s the illegal immigrants we have to take on which is again directly as a result of being a member of the EU. They say work pays but it doesn’t when you look at all they tax you before you get your wages then after on everything you buy and household bills. I bet your 10 times better off now your home again x
In my Home Inspection studies, I learned that ALL RIVERS FLOOD, sooner or later! Never live anywhere close to a river!
Well the Dutch seem to cope pretty well seen as much of thier land is below sea level.
@@stuartfitch7093 But most don't. Look at the flooding of the great Mississippi River. Do you really think it's possinle to stop that?
Its life , first time in 200 years for many, everything changes. Stiff upper lip , and all that . Look at the damage it did to the U.S. beforehand. Snow in places it's never done so previously, the world is in change.
@@stuartfitch7093 They'll sink.....eventually.
Never buy a house below the village church
I cant even imagine how surreal it would be to not be able to just go home and chill out. Where would you go and what would you do? Basic questions that are so hard to answer when your house is taken away so suddenly like that. I am hoping many have families to help them out for a bit until they get all their stuff in order. Shocking to see a person up to his chest with water.
I Feel Very Sorry For Everyone . God Bless Everyone
why did the commentator say that people say the warnings could have been clearer and then at 6.54 say they were living on a flood plain?, how do some people have to be to need a clear warning that your house is likely to flood if you are known to be living on a FLOOD PLAIN. Its an awful tragedy, and the government should have done a damn sight more over the last ten years but we've known for at least ten years that the weather is getting worse and the flood each years are getting higher.
georgina preston. People are always directing blame away from themselves. No on likes to be the reason behind their own unhappiness. The fact is they did have plenty of warning, but people chose to believe that it won’t be as bad as they are being told it’ll be. The reporter even said the lady woke up to find water in her living room. Not only did she not care enough to prepare for evacuation, she decided to go to fucking sleep. The people at fault here are those who signed the plans for the houses to be built on flood plains. No doubt it’s down to money cutting and saving where they can. Building houses on solid higher ground costs way more than building on a flood plain that no one cares about.
"Don't have carpet on the ground floor" What kind of pitiful solution is that?! How about not building ground floors that can be 6 feet under water? How about managing the rivers so that they don't drown the nearby residential areas? How about never ever giving permits to build on damned flood plains?! How about earier warnings?
If you pave your lawn, build concrete barriers in the water table, build on historic flood plains the more fool you!
The road sign (Riverside Walk),needs changing to just (Riverside)
they say about changing things in the future but they never do it and why does it take so long
What we need are more migrants. We need many more people to drive up house prices for the sake of struggling landlords. We need to stimulate house building. Then we can build on more of the flood plains, cut down trees, and lay concrete on green field sites.
2 months into 2020 n Mother Earth is giving warnings to us all...may we all change before it’s too late
That'd wat I think
@@AEON. Agreed, but telling them, who would listen? a greater problem today I believe is geo engineering and haarp that causes weather 'situations' err warfare. control money, you control nations, control weather, you control the world D Rockefeller. still no one listens :(
The Government should help these poor people who lost every thing The Government used 2.5 million to refurbish frogmore Cottage
Who's going to compensate these unfortunate people? This is horrendous.,. WHere will they sleep till it's sorted?
Maybe a house boat would be necessary until a solution comes to fore.
Why was housing built on low plains in the first place, makes no sense?
Everytime i see Cathy Newman, i can't help thinking of the Jordan Peterson interview.
I know. That was a pinical moment that exposed to many the agressive projective nature of the media circus. Don't mess with someone that knows you better than you know yourself. Quality tv. Mind you Kathy must feel a comaradary standing next to all that s##t floating by.
The government is not to blame, we all are !
How can we let this happen to our people???
Breaks my heart!!!
he said our hearts go out to those who have been flooded why do they keep telling lies
If you don't dredge you will not resolve the situation. You did nothing in five years and you will continue to do nothing except talk utter nonsense
Geo Engineered for you. It is war.
1960 Newtown Wales flooded and 1964 Newtown flooded again, SO HURRY UP !!!
How are Developers Allowed To Build on FLOOD PLAINS.

Hi i feel so sorry for everyone i just can't imagine God Bless everyone.
They deserved it after all the bullshit they said about EU, karma.

God did nothing to stop it happening, he is an idiot.

You never know when natural disasters occur. It’s beyond human beings control. Anything could happen anytime anywhere due to natural disasters! So stop blaming each other. But let’s help each other and raise fund to help the victims! Japan was destroyed by tsunami too. Now it’s storm and flooding is damaging the UK residents, some residents in Newzland , bushfire in Australia 🇦🇺 bla bla.......
So much damage I hope everyone gets back home as soon as they are able too.
@@AEON. you certainly had a lot to say my friend
I’m guessing the drought is over! Usually this happens, worldwide.
Come summer there will be a hosepipe ban. 😂
Stuart, Us too! I hope we don’t get the heat that goes with it. Rox from Cali
Every person interviewed that has A JOB of responsibility /political power or a member of the Environmental Agency says "They are spending BILLIONS and putting up flood defences" BUT could an investigative team produce a FILM or SHOW us WHAT or WHERE this PROJECT IS and how far THEY HAVE THEY GOT?
I am sceptical about what they say is being done and what they are really doing, aren't you?
Surely the government has some hard facts or video evidence for all their EXPENDITURE on flood defences compared to our factual videos of our homes being flooded.
It`s ABOUT TIME WE WE GAVE ROGER COOK A RING EH?
PS the flooding is appalling and to have your home flooded is GHASTLY and beyond BELIEF.
Thank you for sharing. God Bless those dear people. Seeing that EU flag under water seems very appropriate.
@Zanzibar979 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is like we had in Australia recently. Mrs Hulse may be a relative of folk in our church here who emigrated from those parts. Actually when my Mum had acute nephritis she was in hospital and I stayed with George and Emily Hulse for nearly six months
pure people ... they cry and complain while the smart politicians having mouth judo sessions ... pure people i sorry for them truly
Dont live by rivers
SHOCKING FLOOD LEVELS... GOD BLESS THEM ALL
The levels?
While the geoengineering companies run their greasy hands ....
@Cloudy Again i assume the geo-engineering and weather modification your extensive research has uncovered is the one by which you pump gigatons of greenhouse gases into the world's atmosphere for the last 50 years and then do sweet fa about it?
Mm meanwhile XR dig up a lawn !
I think there is a lot more evidence that our skies are being seeded and our climate hacked than there is for global warming .
@@imogenbespokesewing2968 yeah yeah. it's a massive conspiracy.. and your evidence. you have none. the warming of the climate due to human greenhouse gas emissions is backed by thousands of scientific papers, ten of thousands of scientists, hundreds of institutions and decades of evidence, supercomputer modelling and satellites. you can keep your fairy tales about chemtrails, flat earths and lizard people but don't spout bullshit in a pubic forum and not expect ridicule.

Your tens of thousands of AGW scientists is a fairytale for one, it would be interesting to know where that came from. SMH
@@clivehorridge Well I work with around 900 - mainly in atmospheric physics, chemistry, hydrology, geophysics & computer science and that's at a single institute in one country. oh and a few meteorologists for good measure. so that's where that came from...
Why isn’t that ‘reverend’ reading from Revelations so she can REALLY help people ?
Because she is reciting political views rather than doing the duty of a Christian leader. Phony Reverend
When is this country going to look after our own people? The eu said dredging rivers is not necessary (how little they know) if dredging was to have continued most of this flooding would NOT have happened.
Bring back water management and stop wasting money giving aid to other countries, we need that money!!!!!
Nope. Dredging does not prevent flooding when a month's rainfall falls all at once.
"Bring back water management" It never went away. If you think it did, you are too ignorant to make good comments.
@@emm_arr Thank you for your superior wisdom, I suppose you think it is down to climate change?
@@tonyneve2410 "Thank you for your superior wisdom" You are welcome. Now you don't need to make that silly claim ever again.
It's not flooding, it's too many people causing the ground to sink.........
It's awful that women passed away. It really is.
I can't help with seeing all this just wonder about all other living things outside the human race dealing with these disasters as well. How many homes and beings dead in the animal world and they haven't done anything to deserve this. We all use oil, we all drive cars, we all sit on dead trees and fill our bins with pieces of them daily. We created plastic not mother nature and now she's just showing us actions have consequences.
A lot more trees needed and now we are out of the EU we can dredge rivers again.
As a comment below concrete gardens, lack of grass verges and trees has had a massive impact as well as building on every bit of natural land we have because Britain is full !
Lol..youre out of the EU, but youre still in the UN. No dregging for you.
Wendy Singleton Oh please, stop lying. Britain isn’t full. Even the Netherlands with a 225 people per square km more than Britain, isn’t full. And dredging your rivers forbidden by EU? And the UK couldn’t dredge the rivers because of the EU? I don’t believe it, in NL the rivers, canals and ditches have to be dredged every year. It’s part of our waterboard policy for rain water storage and drainage. The UK just needs good flood defenses, like the Netherlands, not the bandaid solutions they have now. The UK just don’t wanna put (enough) money aside for it. Watermanagement costs a lot of money, but it saves more in the end. And it reduces the number of victims of flooding. It’s a simple calculation. I pay about €150 a year for waterboard tax. It’s one of the taxes I pay with more ease than others.
P Constructor wow I pay £1500 per year for water and yes it was Eu policy not to dredge as we once did. And yes the U.K. is full we are building on everything to cope with the demand but now we’ve left the dictatorship we can stop the un monitored flow of human traffic. I couldn’t comment on the Netherlands because I don’t live there so it’s none of my business..........
A S the UN can swing...
Nope. It is not the EU's fault at all. Or migrants'.
And some are on a flood plain. Who buys properties in flood plains?
Imagine stats like 'thousands of calls for flooded homes' and then putting a Tory up there saying only '400 homes flooded'
Theyre so funny sometimes
Government not prepared for this onslaught. Maybe we should have been spending money on flood walls and not on EU Politicians Perks and Pensions.
My heart goes out to all the people of good hearts who have been affected. 😟
I seen modern homes, built right by the water, flooded. At your own risk if you build there!
TH-cam site has the answer "The final days"
Build on hills this would give the obise nation some much needed exercise 🤔😁
Then we would need more electric for the cable car.
At 4:30 People have had to be evacuated from the flooding because they live on a flood plane .......................................................................................The news is so informative
The female reverend should ask her God for help and see if anything happens.
If you dont have anything good to say dont say it we dont have time for this while they are being flooded out

@@BrandonshanesProductions anything good about people inability to get together as a human race and help each other instead of praying and hoping to be saved ? Nope
BoJo says the ice ain't melting. It's just a hiccup. 😬
Because its not. This isn't sea level rise. It's a perculiar pattern in the jetstream. That's all it is.
we should allow our fields to flood, and hold the water there until it drains and evaperates away and not allow it to flow out to sea, then we can return the sediments to the soils improving the soil at the same time.
6 ft high flood line, bonkers.
Hope everyone is alright
Stop building on flood plains! There's a new 100 home development going up a few miles from me that is on a flood plain, in fact just yards from a large river that has flooded in the past. Councils are insane and developers are just greedy!
Stop using climate change as the reason for tragedies that were predictable
That reporter is irritating!
Prince Edward is brilliant..all his palaces are far from rivers.
No sweat is the new normal.
So very sad 😢😢😢I would be very angry at their government of UK
Why didn't that family put their precious irreplaceable items like their photo albums up the stairs where they'd be protected rather than just leave them in their place to be destroyed by the flood water?! I don't understand that
Katrina in the UK, except it's not a hurricane.
That's it flood defences here pushes water down stream who is to blame 4
So verry sorry guys,I do hope the government put plans in to place to stop this happening again,it’s going to get worse as we know,but best of luck,we’re all thinking of you.
major spending needed to makethe rivers flow freeer to get the water away instead of backing up
Anyone thinking This is the best time to expect a BIG reduction in water rates,?
What are the stats how many homes, people, what is the population of the city.
Selling Riverside property, cheap.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE GIANT FLOOD TANK AND MAKE THE RIVERS SIX TIMES DEEPER AND TWICE HAS WIDE .
When did the storm start?
4:25 "so what you're saying is" .....
One of the reason so many people are suffreing the affectsof flooding is that British governments have studiously ignored EU advice on flooding. much of the advice funny enough was developed by British experts. So you know who to balme if your house is flooded.ec.europa.eu/environment/water/flood_risk/implem.htm
This was one of two expected bomb cyclones. Not something one usually prepares for, but I reckon that will change now.
Sinking concrete raises water levels!!
God wiill be with youu,
This is got worse, much worse, since Corrie went to five episodes a week and Leeds signed a foreign manager. Reap sow.
Makes more sense than inane scripts from xr "rebels"
There is no one to Save you! we have got to be ready for any thing and everything we can. The Government is not a Savior or God. each one should prepare the best they can.
Calm down and have a cup of tea.
I am really shocked about what did happen there.....
No discussion on Climate Crisis™ is valid without including Geoengineering, going on 70 years+ already. See www.weathermodificationhistory.com, Dane Wiggington's www.geoengineeringwatch.org and Jim Lee's www.climateviewer.com. All are excellent resources with docs, patents and examples.
Too little too late...IT was our duty to take CARE of this planet, we fucked up
Climate change apart.....Lets get some brains behind the water flow from the Higher parts in the hills, after all thats where it all comes from.. the beloved Beaver knows the skill, build some Dams, come summer I wouldnt be suprised if we get a water shortage.
I hope all the people being mean about homes built on flood plains, jump in their time machines and worn the builders in the 1930,s about the flooding in 2020.
Really Katie?
I hate to burst your bubble, but weather science is NOT new. Something else that is not new, is the understanding of TOPOGRAPHY and how that interacts with Waterways!
The Romans of Antiquity understood flooding, which is clearly apparent in the massive Public Works during the reigns of various Roman Dictators (Marius, Sulla, Julius Caesar) and Roman Emperors (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius). Governments have understood flooding for more than 3000 years in most of Europe, and certain in China, and Japan.
Per the line from Ecclesiastes; "There is nothing new under the sun."
The folks in the 1920's KNEW they were building on flood plains, they KNEW they would flood, but guess what, they figured that people would CLEAN UP, REBUILD, and get back on with their lives: LIFE IS NOT SAFE!
Modern politics and culture being what they are: UTTERLY MINDLESS, far too many people want life to be 100% safe, cozy, and free of problems.
Newsflash, Life nor the Real World does not operate that way!
The solution to the heaviest flooded areas is simple and straight forward: RELOCATE those towns to HIGHER GROUND. Remove all of the existing structures, implement channel ways for the quicker flow of water during flood, construct waterway Electrical Turbine Generators to take advantage of the excess flows, and plant heavy duty vegetation known to combat ground erosion during flooding!
I said this myself after New Orleans got submerged for the billionth time: the entire city is BELOW Sea Level!
Whack it all down, and MOVE the entire city; those who don't want to go are ON THEIR OWN!
No more public money for the folks who want to 'live dangerously'.
Relocate to Higher Ground and get on with the business of life.
