The Earth has gone through more extreme climatic events and life survived and thrived afterwards.

Why is everyone so worked up about a measly 2C ?

A lot of areas of south louisiana are deemed "not a flood zone" therefore flood insurance is optional. A lot of people are hosed.

My girlfriend went home to Gonzales for her friend's bridal shower this weekend. The shower was cancelled, her car is hosed, and her family has been going from friend's house to friend's house trying to escape the rising water. Classes started for her yesterday but she has no way of actually getting back to school or work. It's a super lovely situation to be in if you're down there.

I've also seen multiple friends on facebook posting "SOMEONE PLEASE SEND A BOAT TO X ADDRESS. WE ARE STUCK." It's scary.

nah this is basically a once in a century flood event and flood insurance is only absolutely required for areas that see floods more often

I know a guy who let his flood policy lapse earlier this year because he wasnt actually required to have it, he lost everything. owned by climate change

When there's no more room in Hell too much water in the ground, the dead will walk the earth have their coffins float like overly expensive buoys.

What a mess.

Edit: And I'm pretty sure those coffins aren't airtight, so now it's a biohazard situation of a different sort.

in flooding conditions the assumption is always that the water is basically toxic waste since sewers are one of the first things to start backing up and toilets are everywhere

yeah waders are really necessary and thousands have been forced to wade in it without them, but you inevitably see a few dumbasses who didn't get flooded posting pictures of them swimming in the flood water to be funny. when you see manhole covers blown off and water spewing from the sewer into the street maybe stay out of that water if you can help it, or get a brain infection while swimming in it for no reason whatever no skin off my sack

people have whipped their boats out from the start but have been trying to get into Livingston parish which has been totally cut off from Baton Rouge by road for a while, authorities have been turning back people trying to get in with boats due to rumors of shots fired at other civilian boat rescuers who were flying through flooded neighborhoods creating big wakes so they're all just sort of covertly launching wherever they can to go pick people up from flooded homes lol

We barely got any rain here in New Orleans. The parts that flooded with Katrina are not the parts that's flooded now. People that don't care about Louisiana might not know that.

Hurricane Katrina had a dramatic effect on the population in Livingston Parish. Many displaced families of the affected Parishes have moved into the area and as a result, the population of the parish has increased significantly
