This is an excellent vocast and at the same time terrifying to see the Rhine river looking like a stream. How could so much water have been whisked away? I mean, a river has hundreds of thousands of gallons of water moving down stream. Professor Bart van den Hurk points out very clearly that rising temperatures are the next pandemic affecting our weather system. This means one thing that no one is talking about yet. We have to go about solving this problem on a global scale and quit having individual countries go it on their own. We need a fresh water management czar at the UN who is given powers to transport water where it is needed. We need to have a UN funded climate control bureau set up where we have the top scientists in the world at work trying to reverse-engineer rain clouds and find a way to reflect heat back into space. One thing I think should be looked into is water transfer mechanisms i.e., aqueducts put under our roads, highways and railways. Grey water could be sent under the roads to where it was needed and at the same time could lower the temperatures of the roads that get so hot they buckle in summer. Everything must be tried, but what we need is this problem of climate change to be delegated to a special branch of the UN. We need a global climate czar and not a toothless bureaucracy that only can tell us what's wrong and give advice. We also have to realize we cannot stop burning fossil fuels and this means we have to work around it. We have to become the masters of our weather and there is no better time than now for us to take a year or two off of blowing ourselves up with more and more sophisticated weapons and putting all of our brainpower into reverse engineering the weather system of our planet. It's doable. We must do it.
