Firstly, global warming and government corruption may lead to flooding in Venice.
According to Source A, it shows that because of the corruption of scandals and project delay
for at least 4 years, which leads to the facilities rusted which needs lots of money to repair
and maintain. Also, Climate change is likely to lead to an increase in extreme rainfall, which
will leads to an sea level rise and will increase base levels for coastal river reaches. As sea
level risen, it will increase the opportunity in flooding.
It implies that because government corruption is serious, a lot of measure to prevent
flooding can not release in the best time, which will increase the cost of maintenance if
flooding occurred. Also, global warming may leads to climate change. As global temperature
rise, much more rain will fall in extreme storms. The warmer the atmosphere, the more
moisture it can hold, which means storms can get wetter.

to several dead. When flooding, storm may hit people who are walking on the street, and
shown in Source B, a 78 years old man died of an electric shock while pumping water, it
shows that flooding may leads to a large number of death.
Also, it implies that economic lost is also another impact of extreme weather. Shops are
closed and government needs to compensate their lost during the close and some historical
site are destroyed due to serious flooding and drown by water. Government needs to pay
for the maintenance fee. Also, after flooding, the government needs to recover their
economic, which they may need to pay money for citizens to buy thing for daily uses.
For conclusion, Economic lost and death of body are the two impact of extreme weather
which will cause flooding.
