    Follow Africa and China's green belt lead in water retention to minimise flooding.

    Just ensure Climate Bill funds are NOT stolen by fraudsters like the Covid funding was.

  23. I guess mother nature strikes Texas again first with the freeze that they said have never happened in the history of Texas and now the flooding remember when Texas said they wanted to be a independent state and not part of the US I wonder if they need any governmental assistance this time around like they needed during the freeze or maybe they need money from that infrastructure bill that they all voted no on
