Manage episode 372334089 series 2953796
In today's episode, we tackle the pressing issue of flooding in Vermont and its connection to climate change. Vermont has recently experienced its rainiest season in the past century, resulting in devastating floods and an increased risk of landslides. We shed some light on the alarming fact that the flooding in Vermont is a clear consequence of climate change, a sign of the extreme bursts of rainfall predicted by climate scientists. It is an urgent wake-up call, highlighting the need for immediate action to address the underlying issues. In addition, we explore the unique challenge Vermont faces with its over 400 dams, many of which are privately owned. The ownership dynamics surrounding these dams present challenges during emergencies, as enforcement actions to mitigate flooding may not be as effective.
