Five people have lost their lives and two children are still missing following severe flooding in parts of south-eastern Pennsylvania. According to a report by Theguardian.com, the victims included the mother of the missing children. While the father and another sibling managed to reach safety, the mother and two children were caught in the devastating floods. This recent tragedy in south-eastern Pennsylvania reflects the increasingly severe impact of intense rain and flooding caused by the worsening climate emergency. In light of these events, climate scientist and distinguished professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Mann, emphasized the role of climate change in intensifying natural weather phenomena.
