What natural disasters devastated the American Midwest in August 1993?

Too many scientific diciplines agree global warming is a fact. Whether or not it is man made or worsened by human endeavors is the predominant question. Seems to me common sense would indicate it is at least made worse by what man has done to the environment. I agree with those who say let's stop placing blame & instead get busy fixing the problem.

In the early 90s I picked up a pretty "shell" on the beach in Maryland took it home, realized it was alive... and rushed it back to the ocean. Years later, I found out it was a tropical sea slug that eats corral known as a "Flamingo Tongue"... only rising sea temperatures had allowed it to live that far north of the tropics. Global warming is a fact, and it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not... you can go around saying the sun doesn't exist if you want to it's not going to bother the sun at all, you're just going to sound foolish for ignoring the proof.

The warming of Earth is cyclical and has been going on since the last Ice Age. For humans to take credit for a trend that began 30,ooo years is Just Plain Ignorant. Sure, it is exacerbated by our ecologically epic stupidity, but that is not, or should not be, the issue. The issue now is, and must be: WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT NOW? It is time to stop blaming and get to work on policies and practices to ameliorate it, or OUR GRANDCHiLDREN will quite acurately

those who deny climate change are choosing to ignore evidence and facts...SAD!

Prometheus, REALLY!?!? Why don’t you take a trip to your local ocean that has some coral in it ie; Australia, Jamaica any part of the Caribbean and go snorkeling or diving and see how dead the ocean has become for yourself!!! I have 12 years ago I went to Jamaica and it was like a painting the corals and fishes were astonishing but in October 2018 same place just 12 years later everything is grey, blackish, dead and/or dying!!! So before you open your mouth to something you know nothing about ... do some research!!!

I live in IL near Chicago & was 12 in 93. My family drove south to help sandbag. I remember hearing aid was coming from another country. That country was Bangladesh. Remembering the aid the US sent after their cyclone devastation in 91 said "We would like to help in whatever humble way we can" sent jute bags we used as sandbags. Who comes to our aid? One of the poorest countries in the world. Moved me then still moves me now. TY Bangladesh!

'93 was unbelievable...the rain was relentless...the 'RIVER' was twice in normal width along the Mississippi Banks!

GAMA17, I lived in Columbia, Mo then. it was awful!

I lived at the top of a steep hill in Kcmo in 93. you could see the flood. heck I saw a walkin frig floating lol

me, BLAME US.
