Louisiana Flood Catastrophe Was Man-Made

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Blaming the Louisiana flood catastrophe on humans, namely the government, is not only an assertion made today by alternative social media geoengineering or environmental modification critics. A south Louisiana mayor on Tuesday publicly blamed the catastrophe on environmental modification (ENMOD) wrongdoing by the state and federal government.

Walker, Louisiana Mayor Rick Ramsey said Tuesday that the flooding in his town was “man-made” and that he plans to file a lawsuit against both state and federal governments.

Ramsey said that last year, the government expanded a six-foot cement barrier built along Interstate 12. That created a deadly situation that prevented rising water from draining from his town. Instead the backflow of water was created.

The new construction essentially put the city of Walker “into a bowl” because, Ramsey said, the barrier prevents any water from draining out of Walker.

“I’ve been begging [the government] for three-and-a-half years to give us more drainage under the interstate,” the mayor said.

Water from the Amite River was held in by the six-foot high barrier and the trapped water then backed up into Walker.

“When the Amite River went up, it hit that wall,” Ramsey said. “We have video evidence that shows the concrete barrier and water lapping over the north shore of the interstate and bone dry on the south of the interstate. They basically built a dam for Walker.”

The mayor added when the Amite River rose, the floodwater hit that wall and some of the water went toward the Millerville Road area and some went into Walker.

Ramsay expects insurance companies across the state to join him in his suit. He been warning the state and federal governments about the potential danger for over three years.

Walker is a city in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, United States. The population was 6,138 at the 2010 census.

There are 83 oil and gas jobs available in Walker, LA, according to Indeed.com. When submerged, operations like these can leak hazardous amounts of toxic pollutants.

The Federal government recognized the growth of the Walker settlement in 1956 and opened a post officer as Milton Old Field. The town’s motto is, “Just what you’re looking for.”

The flooding was so bad Friday in Walker, Louisiana, caskets were unearthed in St. Mark’s Cemetery. Photos posted by the Walker Police Department on Facebook showed at least two bright yellow caskets floating in floodwaters.

The Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD), formally the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, is an international treaty prohibiting the military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects. It opened for signature on 18 May 1977 in Geneva and entered into force on 5 October 1978. The U.S, is a signatory of this treaty.

The Convention bans weather warfare: the use of weather modification techniques for the purposes of inducing damage or destruction.

Meanwhile, YouTube user WeatherWar 101 has posted a video claiming to support the notion that geoengineering caused the Louisiana Flood. One might at least say that his video summary of the catastrophe is impressive.

He asserts, “It’s irresponsible for governors and state officials who declare a #FLashFlood State of Emergency, not to understand how the devastating flood happened in the first place. Not when the facts, evidence, and ’1,000 year’ rain source are right here in front of them.

    • Paul Brown

      Now we begin to see some of the real culprits. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thank you, Brown.

        • Hi NSA, kiss my artichoke

          Kudos.
          GEOENGINEERING.
          NOT GLOBAL WARM..(cough, cough) CLIMATE CHANGE.

          • Deborah Dupre

            Tell me this: If climate change could solely be attributed to geoengineering, would that negate global warming?

            • Hi NSA, kiss my artichoke

              To you and Brown, it’s the same thing.
              You answered your own question.

      • LifeIs

        At this article is Paul Brown showing that he does not understand the theory that he is advocating.

        /environment/2016/08/breaking-terrifying-louisiana-flood-catastrophe-new-evacuation-warnings-more-cities-to-drown-millions-flee-chaos-2560693.html

        “In the case of CO2, it is extremely good at trapping heat: scientist calculate that the Earth’s temperature would be something like 33 degrees lower without the trace amount.”

        And that is not ANYBODY’s theory. That 33 degree figure is for ALL “greenhouse gases.” Most greenhouse effect theorists say water vapor accounts for 90% to 95% of the effect.

        NASA has reduced that to 80% — that would be 26.4 degrees. Here is the NASA link:

        http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/co2-temperature.html

        Of course I keep saying that heat leaves the Earth’s surface and heats the lower atmosphere. That’s the atmosphere cooling the surface. And the upper atmosphere cools the lower atmosphere.

        And what the “greenhouse effect” is, is antiperistasis. The ancient Greek idea that you can, for example, make something hotter by surrounding it with something cold.

        Here are some of the ways carbon dioxide cools the atmosphere:

        http://principia-scientific.org/the-four-known-scientific-ways-carbon-dioxide-cools-earth-s-climate/

        And here is a way documented by NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/22mar_saber/

        ““The thermosphere lit up like a Christmas tree,” says Russell. “It began to glow intensely at infrared wavelengths as the thermostat effect kicked in.”

        “For the three day period, March 8th through 10th, the thermosphere absorbed 26 billion kWh of energy. Infrared radiation from CO2 and NO, the two most efficient coolants in the thermosphere, re-radiated 95% of that total back into space.”

        • LifeIs

          And since I know one or both of them will mis-read it, no Paul and no Deborah, I am not endorsing the myth of antiperistasis. I’m saying it’s a superstition of ancient Greece that has been revived by the “global warming” hoax.

          • LifeIs

            And what makes either of those two think that a hoax would not fool anybody?

            Fooling people is the whole idea of a hoax or a fraud.

            • LifeIs

              And in case they don’t know: the higher up in the atmosphere you go, the colder it is. See: Lapse Rate

              And the average temperature at the top of the stratosphere is minus 3 C or 26.6 F.

              And no, the cold atmosphere isn’t heating the Earth.

              The atmosphere carries heat away from the Earth.

      • FACTCHECK

        Deborah, I think Paul Brown wants to get busy with you. Apparently he feels the need to come kiss your butt everytime you post something and act like you’re the second-coming. Hmmm…it’s either that or you’re both the same person. I’m starting to wonder. That would be about right. Can’t find yourself a friend here so you make one up. Bravo.

    • Man

      No, it basically simple american incompetence of water management. All the districs don’t work together to deal with floods. Everything is dammed off wuth dykes and that puts pressure on the watersystem down stream. Add to lack of funding cause noone wants to pay taxes and poor regulation, maintance and people living in flood plains… Then you basically have this problem every year.

      They should get some water enhineers from the netherlands…

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thank you, Man. Incompetence is certainly an issue. And yes, too bad Louisiana does not call on the Netherlands for expertise — especially knowing floods (and other environmental disasters and catastrophic events) are quickly worsening.

        That said, however, why is it that when a Mayor repeatedly pleaded for state and federal officials to rectify a deadly construction and all those officials did was expand the concrete wall to ensure the town would be in a giant fish bowl during a flood?

        • wiseoldlady

          Read the Georgia Guidestones. There is a war of genocide in the works. The luciferian government wants this country ruined and most people dead. Rather naïve of any mayor to think otherwise. Too many have been indoctrinated and believe the BS without research… Studying the history of man and bloodlines back to Cain would open a lot of eyes. I have done over 8 years research on this and believe it when others tell you NOT to believe what the government preaches. Step out of the enslaved matrix.

    • Deputy Dawg

      If you planned to impose a bogus carbon tax on every breathing human being, regulate cow farts and all other foul emissions being capable of controlling the weather and the narrative would sure come in handy, wouldn’t it? I can’t imagine those in power ignoring such a golden opportunity could you? They’re not, it’s just another tool in their arsenal of deceptive and manipulative devises used to control and punk the mass. They even use our own blood, sweat and tears to finance these mechanisms of death and destruction, an agenda that if left up to them will be the death of us all! That is after all what Satan or Apollyon has in mind and believe me, he’s ultimately the evil mind behind this wickedness.

      A Student of the Word

      • LifeIs

        Oh, it was definitely about a transfer of wealth from Main Street to Wall Street. The “carbon credits” racket.

        But, it also completely immobilized the left, the liberals. They’ve been kept busy saving the world from something that doesn’t hurt the world.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Yawn. Sorry, Anonymous. Sorry to see the right-wing carbon tax fear mongering worked on you so you throw the baby out with the bath water. The denier gurus have used everything within their power to refute science and further extinction. Look a little more deeply please, behind the curtain. Humanity needs that.

        • Hi NSA, kiss my artichoke

          Refute science?
          What science?
          SHOW ANY SCIENCE that demonstrates your and Brown’s position.
          You haven’t.
          You CAN’T.
          There is NONE.
          People with brain cells are simply throwing the LIE out with the bath water.

    • carolina4

      why? for money. the elite have run out of options. the only options they have is to make money off of destroying communities, cities, nations, oceans, planets. class action lawsuit against these power plants. “non-profit” radio towers. aircraft. chemicals and metals manufacturers. go to the source. why hasn’t anyone sued the manufacturer of oxycontin who got the patent, then the law on his side. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!!!!!!

    • Paul Brown

      Readers:

      Please bear with me as you have done so far. Refuting glib one-liners denying global warming takes more than another sound bite. Predictably, the global warming denier trolls are back. I no longer respond to them because they are paid to have the last word, using the climate deniers’ network plentiful (false) arguments.

      You can recognize trolls easily. They cite sources other than climate science researchers except to take them out of context or to point out anomalies that don’t disprove the overall facts of global warming. They also ridicule legitimate research findings that produce results that seem intuitively to be wrong. And they even use data from climate research that proves global warming is caused by humans to make it look like it isn’t. For example they point out that much of the 33 degree difference in temperature I attribute to CO2 is due to water vapor, conveniently ignoring the fact that besides the direct effect of CO2, there is an indirect effect of increased water vapor – due to increased temperature from CO2. Usually if you check the origins of their outright lies, you will find they come ultimately from the root sources of climate change denial: the fossil fuel industry and occasionally the meat and dairy industries.

      You can easily prove them wrong by going to Web sites of the actual climate researchers (except for a handful backed by the fossil fuel industry and its think tanks and cranks who mis-analyze data to suit their needs). Example of a legitimate site: https://www.pik-potsdam.de/services/infodesk/climate-change-knowledge-in-a-nutshell?searchterm=anthropogenic+

      Refutations of false denier claims are provided by real scientists at the Union of Concerned Scientists site, http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/solutions/fight-misinformation/global-warming-skeptic.html#.V7SAgzUuzUU and http://www.ucsusa.org/global-warming/fight-misinformation/climate-deception-dossiers-fossil-fuel-industry-memos#.V7SAqzUuzUU.

      The Union of Concerned Scientists also has an excellent page on the facts of global warming. Read them and weep: http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming#.V7SALTUuzUU.

      These pages are only a few of the many legitimate scientific sources of accurate information, all easy to find. Remember: stick to the climate scientists’ sites at universities and those or scientific organizations like the US National Academy of Sciences, http://nas-sites.org/americasclimatechoices/events/a-discussion-on-climate-change-evidence-and-causes/, and the British Royal Society. https://royalsociety.org/topics-policy/projects/climate-change-evidence-causes/, and the Swedish Academy of Sciences, http://www.kva.se/globalassets/vetenskap_samhallet/miljo_klimat/uttalanden/uttalande_klimat_eng_150410.pdf.

      In fact, 197 national academies of science subscribe to the finding that current global warming has been caused by humans. Many of them are the countries the trolls say are targeted by global warming conspiracies. Do you want to believe them or the fossil fuel industry? That’s basically your choice.

      • LifeIs

        Paul Brown thank you for getting back to me on the 33 degree issue. Sort of.

        You didn’t admit that you attributed ALL of the “greenhouse effect” to carbon dioxide.

        You didn’t admit that you had no idea what you were talking about.

        And yes, I am the one who told YOU that the “computer models” assume that more carbon dioxide will produce more water vapor.

        Temperature and air pressure rule, in this matter. And you are assuming that carbon dioxide increases temperature.

        It’s a trace gas, measured in parts per million. The infrared it absorbs is radiated into outer space by the oxygen around it. And by absorption / re-radiation all the way up and out.

        And that process cannot work in reverse. Heat will not flow from colder substances to warmer ones, without the application of work.

        And no, it doesn’t make a difference if you add more heat to the warmer substance. The flow is still from warmer to colder.

        Water evaporates. That’s part of the cooling of the Earth’s surface, by the atmosphere.

      I don’t deny that man is doing these things, but here is important theological information; nothing, but nothing, in this world happens without the action of God. He either causes positively or allows it. He is in charge of everything. If you think that He just sits back and sees how things will go, you are seriously mistaken. Scriptures tell us that not even a sparrow falls from the sky or a hair from our heads without His permission. He is constantly keeping everything in order. When mankind turns its collective back from God and prefers its idols and sins, then, He gives the “devil his due” and all manner of chaos commences. These things that are happening, and they are only the beginning of woes, are a punishment from God. War, fire, flood, famine, pestilence, every conceivable disaster and accident is coming upon us for our disbelief and unfaithfulness to the laws of God. We now accept as normal, things that the Bible and Christianity have always forbidden. Abortions, divorce, contraception, profaning God’s laws by buying, selling and working on Sunday, without necessity. But of all the evils, the ones that offend God the mosy directly, in the first three Commandments, are routinely broken and disregarded as unimportant. That is because God has been patient and not shown his power in the same manner and as often as in the Old Testament. But you will see, He has simply been waiting for the sinners to convert and the good to become better. He will soon act, as the Blessed Virgin has prophesied in Her genuine apparitions, particularly Fatima, La Salette and Lourdes.
      It is all contained in this booklet I found about 40 years ago which is online now. I will provide the link. God never punishes without warning and we have been warned for almost 100 years since the apparitions of Fatima. Next year is the anniversary. 100 years before the French Revolution, St. Margaret Mary was told by Our Lord that France would be blessed if the king would add the image of the Sacred Heart to the French flag, his palace, and consecrate himself to the Sacred Heart and encourage this devotion. He did not do it and 100 years later, the revolution broke out that the country of France has never recovered from in any meaningful way. God is not mocked, nor does He sleep, and He always gives warning. We have been warned and very soon we will reap what we have sown. There is no escape. Those who might think to kill themselves, will find an eternity in Hell.
      We must prefer the just punishments of Our Lord and pray for patience to endure them. We must repent and find a Traditional Catholic priest to confess to. It does not really matter who is behind the weather. Does anyone think that when a person sees a monster tornado coming toward them, they stop and think, wait, who made this tornado? No, they do what they can to save themselves. Now is the time. Chastisement is a certainty. Our final place, where we will spend eternity, is not so certain. The way to Heaven is narrow and wide is the path to Hell.
      May God have mercy on us and help us to remember to call upon Him and His Holy Mother now and also at the hour of our deaths. Amen!

      THE FLOOD WAS NOT MAN-MADE. Your entire article is ludicrous. Yes, I’m going to troll every damn piece of trash article you write from now on. That’s what you get for lying about the people and conditions in my state. This man merely stated that poor drainage contributed to flooding in his area and that’s all. The “FLOOD” was not man-made. That’s just stupid to even say.
