dohboi - You should set your baseless assumptions aside and read the entire post. As noted here many times the Rockman understood the effects of AGW decades before it hit the mainstream. The Rockman's first degree wasn't in geology...it was a B.S. in Earth Sciences. I'm very disappointed in you, buddy. Houston may flood more often due to climate change. But it still would flood periodically even if climate change did not exist. As it has done for tens of thousands of years. Using floods in Houston as proof of climate change is very poor science. No different then a denier pointing out there is no global warming because during April about 3 weeks Houston temperatures were well below normal. A FACT but similarly very poor science.
But back to the topic. Sorry: I screwed up and got lost in the details. Here's a much easier description of the geography of Houston. So a 50 year floodplain, a 100 year floodplain, blah, blah, blah. What they aren't telling you is that every square foot of the entire city Houston sits in a floodplain. Yes, that's a FACT. And how do we know this is a fact: every square foot of soil in the city was deposited during a flooding event over the last tens of thousands of years. IOW every home, business and roadway in Houston was built on sediments laid down during some flood event. Just as every home, business and roadway in New Orleans (and ALL the rest of southern Louisiana) was built on flood deposits of the Mississippi River.
Trust me: you can't beat the geology on this matter. LOL
