Georgia under flood alert after heavy rain while the West faces dangerous heat



Torrential rain sparked flash floods across northern Georgia, with more than 12 inches of rain falling in areas in a matter of hours. The governor declared a state of emergency, and residents of the city of Summerville were told to boil water before drinking it after a flood in a nearby plant. Over on the West Coast, 46 million are under heat alerts, with many facing potentially record-setting triple-digit temperatures again.

    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.
