"Worst Flooding In Decades Forces Evacuation Of More Than 100,000 Malaysians"

People wade through a flooded road in Hulu Langat, outside Kuala Lumpur in March 2012.

In what the Malaysian government is calling the worst flooding in more than 30 years, five people have been killed and more than 100,000 displaced across five east coast states.

On Friday, the 10-year anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami that caused widespread devastation and killed a quarter of a million people in Southeast Asia, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said he was cutting short his U.S. vacation to oversee flood response. Najib had previously come under fire after he was photographed golfing with President Barack Obama in Hawaii while the situation progressively worsened back at home.

“I’m deeply concerned by the floods and am returning to see the situation for myself. My thoughts and prayers are with all who are suffering,” Najib said in posts on Facebook and Twitter on Friday.


The Malaysian government said additional response equipment, including helicopters, boats and land vehicles, would be deployed on Friday. The number of people displaced thus far surpasses the previous record of 100,000 people evacuated during flooding in 2008, according to the Straits Times.

Huge flooding and news worth keeping a eye on...

LOL... Headline shows the stupidity of man..

They knew it was a flood zone and built there anyway.. Natural cycles come and go on schedule... Kind of like the idiots in New Orleans.. building under sea level and expect to never see flooding...

Dam Fools.

It's a weather extreme. Ring any bells?

 

[Old Rocks]

Wider and wilder swings, with an overall warming.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Pointing at the Weather Channel and shrieking "man-made global warming!!!" Is not science

Let's see, they have floods there on a regular basis, so where exactly is this "extreme"? Or how about you find a time when they HAVEN'T had floods.

18 year flat line of global temps, actual number of significant weather "events" is at a three year low here in the USA. Globally they are down as well. Oh looky, the globull warmists are wrong .............again...

They have major floods every 30 years cyclically. this is neither new or extream for the location. its called Hype... and its all fiction.

You are full of shit, a usual.

Climate change The hottest years on record The Economist

Twenty warmest years on record, all since 1990. And 2014 topped them all. On a low TSI and neutral ENSO. You are looking real dumb there, Walleyes.

Only because of data falsification. That's the only way they can get that BS meme to work.

 

[mamooth]

Conspiracy theories are what someone has to resort to when all the actual data says they're making it all up.

It's not going to get any better for you, deniers. Temperatures will keep climbing. New sensors will fine tune observations of CO2 emissions and heat flux balance. It's basically over. The only question is how much damage you do on your way out. We work to reduce that damage.

You used the economist? as a source?

The only one looking stupid is you... Tell me moron, when the solar output is dropping (thus the heating engine for our earth is reducing its output) and the earth does not respond (according to the fraudulent data manipulations) to the heat engine, who is lying? You or the SUN

Every pot of boiling water i know about stops boiling when heat is removed. its the law of thermal dynamics and some how the alarmists can defy physics. IN the real world we all know its cooling.

Ah, Billy Boob, the amount of heat that the surface has depends not only on the amount it recieves from the sun, but also on the amount it retains. Due to the albedo of the earth, a certain amount is reflected back into space. And the ground, heated by the visible spectrum, re-emits in long wave IR, which the GHGs in the atmosphere absorb. So you can have a lower TSI, and a higher atmospheric temperature with an increase in GHGs in the atmosphere. Now, since we have added over 40% more CO2, 250% more CH4, more NOx's, and various industrial gasses that have no natural analog, it would seem pretty obvious that the earth's atmosphere is retaining more heat.

Well, no, we haven't added all of those gases, but even if we had, the net result appears to be zero. No warming for 18 years, and the CO2 level go's up and up.

GAwd you are such a fucking moron.. The albedo has changed to negative in both hemispheres.. yet still, by magic the numbers go up for CO2 and the Temp is going down... except for the manipulated data.

As for those mysterious gases you tout, the ones I didn't mention are active players in convection and heat loss...

No warming for 18 years, yet 14 of those years were the warmest on record. And now 2014 is going to be the warmest on record, and fools like you continue to babble about no warming.

You can't talk common sense to a Cult

No warming with unaltered data. Once you make your adjustments, TADA!! Warming

No warming for 18 years, yet 14 of those years were the warmest on record. And now 2014 is going to be the warmest on record, and fools like you continue to babble about no warming.

Funny how they are the warmest yet, there is no real evidence to support that. Just magical little numbers derived from a beyond suspect computer algorithm. And you call that science!

Where is the data set that isn't played with?
