It is rather amusing seeing science students observing the natural functions of our earth and then somehow assign a culprit and a victim. On the level of striking a wooden match in front of the natives who have never seen fire. The normal climate functions. (no such thing as man made climate change) we in the scientific community call this flood mitigation. It is a tool like any other. If nutrients are present nature provides the mitigation assistance. If not and man build more than th nutrient levels will allow then manual flood mitigation must be used.  For those thinking the above article is cutting edge news here are the current calculations when deciding when and how much mitigation is required. 1. measure/estimate the volume of a 100 year flood. 2. Select trees that are best suited for this climate. 3. Note: the average tree has a 300 gallon per day per tree respire capacity.  It seems logical if one spends their time and intellect blaming a fictitious event to a single entity the problem at hand is ignored.  If US schools have questions please review the flood mitigation files/department at the UN AquaSPE "the water network.  Start with Trudi and learn your way around.
