Hello World, Floods that have recently occurred in Queensland, Australia, is the worst flooding in the country, at least in the last three decades. The scientists pointed out that flooding is very likely to have linkages with the impact of climate change due to global warming.
However, it is too early to draw conclusions too tsunami that floods caused by hurricane La Nina pattern that is more intense than usual.
As mentioned by the Head of Division Climate Monitoring and Prediction of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in Melbourne, David Jones, "First of all, we can say La Nina and El Nino occurred in the Earth hotter. The pattern is different from the normal pattern." Jones said, with the change in climate, La Nina phenomenon thought to be different. "La Nina could be a factor causing more severe flooding because the rain was worse," he told Reuters.
In the past year on the sea surface temperatures also reached record warmest for the Australian region and humidity are among the highest for the eastern Australian region.
The famous American climate expert Kevin Trenberth, amplify, correct some phenomenon La Nina and El Nino Actual, especially in Asia, showing different symptoms. This is due to global climate change factor. However, to agree on whether this new pattern will make things worse, scientists are still debating.
Flood damaged towns
Heavy rain that led to floods soak about 30,000 homes in Queensland since last month. The capital of Queensland, Brisbane, totally paralyzed. Until now recorded 19 deaths and thousands of people displaced.
The city has a population of 2 million people into the city past the flooded areas of Queensland. Earlier, heavy rains change the three-quarters of the Queensland region into disaster zones on a scale two times larger than the size of the State of Texas in the United States or the combined size of France and Germany.
Tens of thousands of homes did not have electricity supply. More than 50 areas in the suburbs and the streets flooded after the Brisbane River to overflow. Embankment of the river burst its banks since Tuesday (01/11/2011) being unable to withstand the flood overflow. Elevation or height of water in the river was allegedly going to continue to grow after yesterday reached 5 meters. For a while the Reuters news agency reported the estimated losses due to flooding at 5 billion U.S. dollars. A BBC correspondent in Brisbane, Phil Mercer, says, the city now have to perform large-scale infrastructure improvements. Even some victims of flooding most likely can not return to their homes.
Flooding also affects the coal industry, both in Australia and international markets, because many coal mine in Queensland affected by stagnant water. The price of coal reported a spike shortly after the floods. (National Geographic Indonesia / Gloria Samantha)
