    Also...
    Buildings, building foundations, roads, and 'water management' deny natural sediment replenishment. Which used to offset coastal water encroachment.
    Flood water that would spread out across large areas and slowly move sediment is now forced directly into canals and ditches and sent into rivers or the intra-coastal/ocean without a chance to pick up the same amount of sediment and spread it along the coastal wetlands.
    Decomposition of plant matter to make new organic soil can't happen on roads, parking lots, house roofs, etc.
    Add in that many areas have had human caused pressure decreases in aquifers that outpace aquifer recharge. Lower pressure in aquifers leads to aquifer collapse, which is the sinking of the rock and ground over the aquifer.
    'Water management' often exacerbates floods as well. If you live on a river and there are municipalities upstream of you, those municipalities force storm water immediately into the river. A lot of that water would have made it to the river, but over the course of weeks as it first sits on the ground (which is unacceptable for agriculture and livestock land) and then slowly drains to the river as ground water.
    Instead we force all urban, suburban, agriculture, and livestock storm water immediately in the rivers, and it all hits the towns and cities downstream at the same time.

    By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is ridiculous.
