More Americans need to be informed of these efforts since they rarely hear of the efforts being made or the strife of the Vietnamese people. It is important to communicate the problems and the work that needs to be done in order to assist the flood plane prone areas of Viet Nam. It is with great relief to read the information within this website since I know that many American people would like to help but they have not been made aware of all these efforts. They do not see or hear of the problems that the Typhoons have caused in Viet Nam, however since the Hurricane Katrina disaster, more Americans understand the damage that can occur from such storms. If they were aware of the need to strengthen homes and buildings within the flood prone areas of Viet Nam to save lives, and the need for financial assistance, perhaps more help would be forthcoming from one of the richest and strongest countries in the world. The concerns about carbon emissions causing global warming attributing to the flood damage that will result may also influence their performance in reducing carbon emissions. Further development of geo-thermal energy producing facilities needs to be provided through the news media since this is the most effective means to reduce global emissions of carbon deposits. Additionally Viet Nam may find the increase of wind powered energy producing facilities to be more efficient for the production of power to the country. Further reduction and dependence on fossil fuels should be addressed in the UN Conference. I wish to thank all of the people of the DW for all of their work and efforts in helping the families in Thua Thien Province. However I have read nothing about the village of Tan My or Thuan An Beach except the resorts that have been built for vacationers. These two village communities and the people of both of these communes need equal assistance to that provided to other communes. Thank You.

Certainly it is bad practice for scientists to do so solely with the benefit of hindsight. However I have just had a book published, Climate Change: Biological & Human Aspects, and with the recent floods I wondered what I said in my book (it was months since I handed in the manuscript) and found that I had concluded that this sort of thing (summer flooding in Europe) is what one would expect in a warming world. I therefore have posted the appropriate text on the web free http://www.science-com.concatenation.org/archive/uk_floods_climate_change.html .
