JOHANNESBURG - Built environment expert, Jackson Sebola-Samanyanga, has blamed climate change for the recent catastrophic flooding in parts of the country.
While the inclement weather is expected to persist, disaster management teams are also working around the clock to prevent widescale infrastructural damage in both provinces.#JhbFloods: One person was rescued from this vehicle after flash floods hit Soweto this morning. Side note: EWN spotted some people carrying tyres and a battery among other items that appear to have been stripped from the vehicle. ND pic.twitter.
What exactly is climate change if the climate changes every hour if not minutes of everyday. I think the term was chosen to confuse us. From global warming which was unproven to climate change which can be a normal daily phenomena. Experts or fools, why not use their name?
Yeah! Right, it’s climate change now not global warming😳😳😳
No argument as the Climate has changed for millions of years ,always will. Man has fuck all to do with it.
‘X’ being the unknown quantity, and spurt being a drip under pressure ….. 🤷♂️
Nasty old Mother Nature not towing the line our Loonie Left demand🥴
Mother Nature did this.
Of course they do. They know where their bread is buttered.
Jackson Sebola-Samanyanga has been removed from my list of goto 'experts'.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yep, weather change did this
But the flood levels didn’t reach the 1916 level in Victoria Australia ? so are you saying climate change started in the 1800s
There have always been floods and the climate is constantly changing.
'Expert' 😂😂🤡
Tell that expert he is an expert of nothing.Floods hav been happening since way back in the olden days, another contributing factor is the poor landscape planning and maping,stop gaslighting the public with lies, that's utter rubbish.
CHEMTRAILS they are destroying our climate all over the world. What is sprayed in your neighbors sky will eventually come to you.
Lol..... If there is anything changing the climate it's the weather manipulations of DARPA and the destruction of our forests....
🤣🤣for what though
🤡
The funny thing is that we never see these 'experts', and where these studies come from. The expert could be the person who wrote this poor excuse of an article.
Asking us to believe the 'experts' again 🤣
'experts'... 'climate change'... No it's the LA NIÑA phenomenon going on right now.. More rain in the summer rainfall areas, less rain in the winterfall rain areas. Been around for gazillions of years !!!! As opposed to El Niño .. Start QUESTIONING iso reporting !!
Oh please!!!! If you don’t have news think of something true. There is no climate change!! No crisis.
I have lost ALL trust in 'experts'.
I'm an expert too and I blame the ANC governance for everything going wrong in SA because they can't Maintain or fix anything. All they're good at is stealing and lying
What fake experts are these lmao
The climate has been changing since the beginning of time. Stop this climate change nonsense. We are not that stupid.
It has f-all to do with climate change!! Stop fucking lying. It is most likely the same 'experts' that lied about covid and the mRNA experimental vaccines!
Just like the 'covid experts'. The word scientist and expert have been erased from my dictionary
Lol expert in.......... ? Probably not.
Its called WEATHER & SEASONS! NOT CLIMATE CHANGE. PLEASE SHOW US COASTAL LINES THAT HAVE INCREASED & TOWNS UNDER WATER THAT ARE IN THESE DANGEROUS AREAS!
A tad climate change , more infrastructure and blocked drains . Paying rates and taxes .. for what ,?
do you have any proof
UJ lecturer Jackson Sebola-Samanyanga is a fkn moron.
I call bullshit. It is lack of upkeep of infrastructure. Drains are blocked and reeds grow in water ways.
No Expert!
What makes him an expert, did he analyse all the data since Adam & Eve?
Climate change has happened since the beginning of time….it’s normal
🤣🤣
Just like your Covid experts?
What nonsense!! Floods happen all the time. People are affected and homes / roads washed away because we lack infrastructure planning and maintenance that goes with the growth of cities, suburbs and townships
Name the experts. Everything the govt can't fix or wants to fix, the new scapegoat is climate change.
Expert🙄
Maybe the municipality should clean the drains every now and again?
Utter rubbish.
And all the previous floods were just nature. Tell your 'expert' to find another hobby - we see him.
Experts want money, and what a better way to blame Global Warming and making some hard-working foreign gullible taxpayers pay for it.
Trust the 'Science', it's bull shit...
You need to do better with CC reportage. 1. Rare triple-dip La Nina. Unclear *yet* if La Nina prolongment is due to CC, wetter. 2. Every +1C warming adds +-7-to-10% more water vapor in atmosphere wetter. 3. Poor legacy spatial planning increases vulnerability-exposure.
Ah yes, the experts🙄
Experts also want to call boys girls and mutilate them. I no longer trust the 'experts' rather trust the professionals PhDs and actual climate scientists. Celebrities are not experts.
Is it not Putin ? 😂
😅😅😅
EWN does not have the best track record for finding these experts.
And we're running with the next thingg, tsek FAKENEWS
' Expert' bwhahaha.
Is that expert from GwedeMantashe crew?
LOL. MSM and their 'experts'
In a country with an average IQ of 70 it does not take a lot to be an expert. So name and shame the people that promote this propoganda from the expert.
After the last 3 years diabolical experience, we don’t believe any of your “experts” any more! Climate changes all the time… the earth is going through a natural cycle!
They are talking nonsense
Yes the Arsenic Noxious Climate
'Expert' se poes.
“Built environment expert” … aka; town planner.
Gotto blame something
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Its called stop effing littering and tell the municipal workers to stop using the storm water drains as giant dustpans.
Ex spurt has thoughts.
Kak man, it's called weather cycles and has been around since earth was formed
no surprises here , any opportunity to push their green hidden agenda .. total scum
You need this ....
The comments here are so refreshing. Many people have caught on to this hoax. 😅
Every tom, dick and harry is now an expert…seriously…
Can the expert sit down and hou sy bek asb…so tired of ALL THE EXPERTS…
AbolishTheWEF
Sure..Experts
BULL SHIT !!!!!!!
🤦🏻🤡🌍 Bollocks. Bull 💩 and No! Floods happen. Always have, always will. KZN is a subtropical climate. That has not changed. Weather and Climate are not the same thing. Your expert is a lying grifter.
what climate change
Oh, whoa, when are the 'experts' going to start blaming that 'someone' claimed to be g-o-d?
Did you say 'expert' 🙆♂️
Kak story
Oh dear, the experts did not look into the past, nor considered geoenginering experiments done in KZN, not total collapse of infrastructure...
Nothing to do about it. The fact is our government knew this was coming. Now they claim there is no money to help the public. Climate issue are out of our reach. Live with it and fix things as quick as possible 🤐
More like lack of planning and maintenance.
No such expert exists
And 40 others don't..
Looks like the “experts” have used ip all their credits with the population 😂
Expert 🤣
Msangano News this EWN nonsense 😏🚮
Are they also an expert in unicorns and other made up crap ?
Climate change indeed.We have been warned to look after the planet! Lack of infrastructure maintenance likely adds to the intensity of the flooding.
In the history of the world, there have never been floods, before now an climate change... I guess we can now say even the bible spoke about climate change, we have the story of Noah as proof. If you believe this climate crap, there is an anc ballot with your name on it.
Expert
Typical of these 'experts' nowadays!
I wonder who the expert is?🥸
Waahahahahahaha, 'expert', poes funny.
And we blame the experts for climate change yibo abayenzayo
🤣🤣🤣what did the sangria say again?
Are other African countries affected by climate change, or it's just us here in South Africa?
For once the blame is shifted away from the ANC.
It's HAARP. Governments control this weather. Wake up.
Nope. It's El Nino and La Nina. Climate change is happening, but the rain recently is not because of that.
Nope. The roads angecies must clean drainage system properly and not only steal tax payers money.
Bedakwa
In Gauteng I disagree. Drainage systems not maintained. Poor town planning. Illegal/poor electrical connections that get affected by rain.
Gas or smoke witch one has an effect on ozone layer ?
Easy way out: blame it all on climate change. In reality: poor infrastructure and urban planning. Thanks MYANC
Expert in what? Ay nina 😂
The floods in the 80s and 90s were worse..and it's usually blamed on la Nina, floods or El Nino, droughts.
Clearly not an expert.
Finally the Experts admit it! I also believe Climate change is the reason for the mass corruption in the ANC.
Then they not experts, go look at the history, KZN has these floods every 50years
Not again.
BS - it will change from La Lina to EL Nino next year .. Wake up ! propaganda
Always nice to have a scapegoat.
Lol I blame corruption
Only a matter of time now before ANC starts blaming climate change for everything
Klip river in soweto is blocked by debris hence water detours into streets and homes. Is that part of climate change?
