English: I won't rehearse the arguments as to why we need to take action on this. Climate change is a reality and we will be seeing more of these unprecedented events in the future. But my region, like many others, has been affected and I've been speaking to people since Sunday who have been severely affected and how their lives have been changed overnight by this instance. Just in relation to the local issues, I believe - I'm here often criticising local authorities, but I do believe that many in my region have responded really well and we've heard reports of teams from local authorities who were out working double shifts or even longer. One local co-ordinator in the Neath area, named Emma, she's been out in Aberdulais and she hasn't stopped for over a week and she's co-ordinating an enormous community response effort and she's now a pillar of the community. These people across Wales, whether they're workers in the council or volunteers - you can only know in a crisis what you would do and we've seen amazing activity from people across the whole of Wales, I think, who've just got up and rolled their sleeves up and have got active. I haven't been one of them, and I've been criticised for virtue signalling, because I can't get out there. But, believe me, if I wasn't nearly nine months pregnant, I would be out there and I would be helping, as has everybody else here in Wales. In Aberdulais - Canal Side, I have got many friends who live there. They're right beside the canal. They've been flooded again and again and again, and this time they've had sewage enter at the back of their houses. And what they have been disappointed with is that they're not sure why that has happened, and Welsh Water has still not clarified to them exactly why the sewage has entered their homes. Many of those residents have got sick, as Mick Antoniw has said, as a result. And if I was scrambling around as an AM, trying to find out - . Public Health Wales were giving me information; NRW were giving me information; Dŵr Cymru - . They just want to know what they have to do in a crisis situation. They don't want to be reading mass documents about how to clean up sewage. They just want to be given advice, and they want someone on hand who has that expertise, as the First Minister said was happening; I didn't see that in my region. We were also told by Canal Side that, the last time that they had flooding there, there was an emergency meeting at the British Legion - which I wasn't invited to - and that they did promise to have stronger flood defences there. I want to see another such urgent meeting organised with all AMs, all representatives, there, so that we can understand exactly how we can build on the flood defences in that area, looking at how they can be improved so that we can all try and make it better if it happens next time. The lack of information, I think, was fundamental for them. They just didn't know what time they were supposed to leave their housing. And, if you did look at the sandbags, compared to some other areas of Wales, it was pretty pitiful. They just did not do anything much to help in that regard. Another issue in my region was in regard to the Canal View Café in Resolven. That's now closed as a result of damage and I'm trying to help them find ways that they can rebuild their café and to reopen. So, I would appeal, as other AMs have done here now, for people to be able to assist in that regard and to give them support. So, of course, we have to discuss the practical elements, but I think, long term, we all want to see solutions and we all want to constructively be part of this discussion, because it won't just affect Neath Port Talbot, Ystalyfera, Rhondda, Cwmbran, it will affect every single area. Because that's what climate change does. It doesn't discriminate based on the parochialisms we may have here in Wales. It will not discriminate on that behalf. It will invade our lives and it will affect us in many, many different ways. So, if we can work together on that, then I would hope that we would be successful.
Welsh: Ni wnaf ailadrodd y dadleuon ynglŷn â pham y mae angen inni weithredu ar hyn. Mae newid hinsawdd yn realiti a byddwn yn gweld mwy o'r digwyddiadau digyffelyb hyn yn y dyfodol. Ond mae fy rhanbarth i, fel llawer o rai eraill, wedi cael ei effeithio a bûm yn siarad â phobl ers dydd Sul sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio'n ddifrifol ynglŷn â sut y newidiodd hyn eu bywydau dros nos. O ran y materion lleol yn unig, rwy'n credu - rwyf yma'n aml yn beirniadu awdurdodau lleol, ond rwy'n credu bod llawer yn fy rhanbarth wedi ymateb yn dda iawn a chlywsom adroddiadau am dimau o'r awdurdodau lleol a oedd allan yn gweithio sifftiau dwbl neu'n hirach na hynny hyd yn oed. Mae un cydlynydd lleol yn ardal Castell-nedd, o'r enw Emma, wedi bod allan yn Aberdulais ac nid yw wedi stopio ers dros wythnos ac mae hi'n cydlynu ymdrech enfawr yn y gymuned ac erbyn hyn mae hi'n un o bileri'r gymuned. Y bobl hyn ledled Cymru, boed yn weithwyr cyngor neu'n wirfoddolwyr - dim ond mewn argyfwng y gallwch wybod beth y byddech yn ei wneud ac rydym wedi gweld gweithgarwch anhygoel gan bobl ledled Cymru, rwy'n credu, sydd wedi camu ymlaen a thorchi eu llewys a bwrw iddi. Nid wyf wedi bod yn un ohonynt, ac rwyf wedi cael fy meirniadu am ymffrostio mewn rhinweddau am na allaf fynd allan yno. Ond credwch fi, pe na bawn i bron naw mis yn feichiog, buaswn allan yno ac fe fuaswn yn helpu, fel pawb arall yma yng Nghymru. Yn Aberdulais - Ochr y Gamlas, mae gennyf lawer o ffrindiau sy'n byw yno. Maent wrth ymyl y gamlas. Maent wedi dioddef llifogydd dro ar ôl tro, a'r tro hwn, mae carthion wedi dod i mewn i gefn eu tai. Ac maent yn siomedig nad ydynt yn sicr pam fod hynny wedi digwydd, ac nid yw Dŵr Cymru wedi egluro iddynt yn union pam y mae'r carthion wedi dod i mewn i'w cartrefi. Mae llawer o'r trigolion hynny wedi mynd yn sâl o ganlyniad, fel y dywedodd Mick Antoniw. A phe bawn i'n sgrialu o gwmpas fel AC, yn ceisio darganfod - . Roedd Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn rhoi gwybodaeth i mi; roedd CNC yn rhoi gwybodaeth i mi; Dŵr Cymru - . Yr unig beth y maent am ei wybod yw beth y mae'n rhaid iddynt ei wneud mewn sefyllfa o argyfwng. Nid ydynt am ddarllen dogfennau mawr ynglŷn â sut i lanhau carthion. Maent am gael cyngor, ac maent am gael rhywun wrth law sy'n meddu ar yr arbenigedd, fel y dywedodd y Prif Weinidog sy'n digwydd; ni welais hynny yn fy rhanbarth i. Dywedodd Ochr y Gamlas wrthym hefyd, y tro diwethaf iddynt gael llifogydd yno, fod cyfarfod brys yn y Lleng Brydeinig - ni chefais wahoddiad iddo - a'u bod wedi addo cael amddiffynfeydd cryfach rhag llifogydd yno. Rwyf am weld cyfarfod brys arall o'r fath yn cael ei drefnu gyda'r holl ACau, yr holl gynrychiolwyr, yno, fel y gallwn ddeall yn union sut y gallwn adeiladu ar yr amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yn yr ardal honno, gan edrych ar sut y gellir eu gwella fel y gallwn oll geisio gwneud yn well y tro nesaf y bydd yn digwydd. Credaf fod y diffyg gwybodaeth yn allweddol iddynt. Nid oeddent yn gwybod pa bryd i adael eu tai. Ac os edrychwch ar y bagiau tywod, o'u cymharu â rhai ardaloedd eraill yng Nghymru, roedd yn eithaf truenus. Ni wnaethant fawr ddim i helpu yn hynny o beth. Roedd mater arall yn fy rhanbarth yn ymwneud â Canal View Café yn Resolfen. Mae bellach wedi cau o ganlyniad i ddifrod ac rwy'n ceisio eu helpu i ddod o hyd i ffyrdd y gallant ailadeiladu eu caffi ac ailagor. Felly, hoffwn apelio, fel y mae ACau eraill wedi gwneud yma nawr, ar bobl i helpu yn hynny o beth a rhoi cefnogaeth iddynt. Felly, wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid inni drafod yr elfennau ymarferol, ond yn y tymor hir, credaf ein bod i gyd am weld atebion ac rydym i gyd yn awyddus i fod yn rhan adeiladol o'r drafodaeth hon, oherwydd nid ar Gastell-nedd Port Talbot, Ystalyfera, y Rhondda, Cwmbrân yn unig y bydd llifogydd yn effeithio, byddant yn effeithio ar bob ardal. Oherwydd dyna mae newid hinsawdd yn ei wneud. Nid yw'n gwahaniaethu ar sail y plwyfoldeb a allai fod gennym yma yng Nghymru. Ni fydd yn gwahaniaethu ar y sail honno. Bydd yn amharu ar ein bywydau a bydd yn effeithio arnom mewn llawer o wahanol ffyrdd. Felly, os gallwn weithio gyda'n gilydd ar hynny, buaswn yn gobeithio y byddwn yn llwyddiannus.
