The torrential downpours caused traffic to grind to a standstill, flight cancellations, school closures as well as at least 14 deaths
Actor and activist Jim Dale entered into a heated debate with GB News host Ben Leo as he argued that the government needs to do more about its "long term plan" for extreme weather due to the Dubai flash flooding earlier this week.
This comes after Dubai has faced torrential downpours that caused traffic to grind to a standstill, flight cancellations, school closures as well as at least 14 deaths.
Speaking to GB News, Dale explained: "The government has been slack for a long time. If they are not slack then they are going backwards. I'm going to give you one word actually because I think that there is a line in the sand that happened in the last few days and that is Dubai.
"A huge event to a very modern city they have had cataclysmic type flooding. Twenty odd people dead. And this isn't the first place to go down with, this type of event, but it is a major city.
"When you get this type of event happening in a very modern city and the infrastructure is not quite in the right place it's a massive, massive warning going forward. And I think this is what the MPs have tagged on to, not just this event."
GB News host Ben Leo asked him: "You and I both know Dubai has been messing around with weather modification. They've been cloud seeding, which for anyone who doesn't know what that is, it's basically trying to encourage and creating artificial rain. So how do we know that this is flooding?"
The climate activist responded: "It actually makes no difference. Cloud seeding is a very localized thing, generally speaking it is just a few fields here or there, a small region.
"I've looked at the meteorology. This was everything to do with the Arabian Sea at record temperatures, pushing up very warm, humid air meeting colder air coming across Saudi Arabia. It was the convergence of the two air masses that create very slow moving, massive, massive thunderstorms fueled by excess temperatures.
"We're going to see more of this, make this absolutely clear. I've been on this station many times talking about this subject, and you know full well that this isn't going anywhere tomorrow."
