Climate Change and Floods

Climate change is any long-term change in the patterns of average weather of a specific region or the Earth as a whole. Climate change reflects abnormal variations to the Earth's climate and subsequent effects on other parts of the Earth, such as in the ice caps over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. In recent usage, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate.

Climate change is the result of a great many factors including the dynamic processes of the Earth itself, external forces including variations in sunlight intensity, and more recently by human activities. External factors that can shape climate are often called climate forcing and include such processes as variations in solar radiation, deviations in the Earth's orbit, and the level of greenhouse gas concentrations. There are a variety of climate change feedbacks that will either amplify or diminish the initial forcing.

The selected project plan is a very low lying ground. Climate change and floods exacerbated by global warming in the last few years has set in motion the rise in sea water levels. The shallow sea bed and the fact that water coming down from the upper rivers can not escape when the water level rises have contribute to the severe flooding of the selected place.
