30” of rain in 48 hours. This was caused - again - by a very blocky pattern…There’s evidence is increasing due to climate change. No doubt that extra rain fell due to a warmer globe too, as all events now rest in the background of a warmer climate.
👉At the end of 2022, 8.7 million people in 88 countries were internally displacement as a result of disasters. Weather-related hazards like floods, storms, droughts caused 98% of these displacements.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

@Lazybedstar@andy_hillier@SheffCouncil Have you heard of raised crossings? Do you think that is something that is incorporated in this design? What do you think drivers do when they risk damaging their vehicles on hard objects?

My message to young people worldwide:
Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable.
Do not accept that you cannot transform things.
To change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for #OurCommonFuture.

Please spare a thought for Portugal. The country is burning. The air is impossible. I’m 200km away from this specific fire but even here there is smoke in the air. Everything is burning
The media is almost completely silent on it, but 1,000 people just perished from extreme flooding in Central and Western Africa. These are human beings with hopes and aspirations and families. How many more people must be lost before we do something? How many? 🧵
Think about it for a moment: people desperately trying to prevent scenarios like this are criminalised and jailed for up to 5 years for *peaceful* protests against #climate breakdown.
In truth, they are heroes and we owe them everything.

That’s half a year's worth of rain in just 4 days.
