Whether or not there is a link to the Gulf oil disaster, scientists and news media are now discussing seriously the possibility of severe flooding in Asia being caused by climate change. Collapsing ocean ecosystems are also being noted.
Severe flooding and unusually dramatic heat waves, all appear to point to global warming and climate change. And May of 2010 appears to be time of the start of the most dramatic changes.
The Gulf oil spill was in April. The earth's atmosphere gained a considerable amount of methane. The ocean's life forms have been subjected to a considerable amount of toxins.
What happens in one part of the planet affects all of the planet. It's called ecology.
Other human caused factors may be contributing to the flooding in Asia as well.
And there are political implications to all of this.
