ooohh sassy

Do you really look at Newport homes and think herp derp they aren’t uninsurable yet herp derp global warming isn’t real.


But then you ignore Florida where hurricanes are causing insurers to leave the state and skyrocket premiums to unaffordable amounts

Lmao. You are so dumb you probably legit think you were on to something . MY BOY you’re my Tito and I’m your Dana
 
It's good they are doing this no one’s actually addressing the real problem. It seems like peaks will continue to climb an there wll be drops but more upside then downside.

In the coming decade we could see this drag out through December. I think the experts say we have passed the point of no return. They used water temps as a way to monitor the point of no return. They say 2 degrees per decade now it's blowing past those numbers.

I guess they view the way it's acting it has spun out of control. No predicting the rates anymore due uncertainty of the water temps.
What is happening right now is possibly the causing with the possibility that Southern states could now face once in a decade hurricane happens twice a month or more and insurance companies many have finally had it. Water temps are rising at a dramatic rate and that could cause in increase in these Cat 4 or Cat5 storms. But MAGA going around saying that HARP is the cause and democrats with George Soros is paying to run it. Seriously dipships are getting more and more deranged every day. The best part I am religious and when a storm hit my area the right would be yelling see you are being punished by God? Using their logic there is a person who lives in Florida that has orange skin maybe God is sending him a message?
 

Spain's prime minister has ordered 5,000 more troops and 5,000 police officers and civil guards to the Valencia region as residents criticise local authorities over their response to catastrophic flooding.
Pedro Sánchez said 211 people have been confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise further.
Heavy rains that began on Monday caused floods that destroyed bridges and covered towns with mud, cutting off communities and leaving them without water, food or electricity.
Sánchez said the deployment was Spain's largest in peacetime, in response to one of the worst floods in Europe this century.
The prime minister said he was aware "the response that is being given is not enough" and acknowledged "severe problems and shortages".
He said there are still "desperate people searching for their relatives. People who cannot access their homes. Homes destroyed and buried by mud. I know we have to do better."
Weather warnings remain in force in north-eastern and southern Spain through Sunday, while another was issued in the Balearic Islands for Saturday.
Around 1,700 soldiers are already working on search and rescue operations in the Valencia region, although hope of finding more survivors is dwindling.
Part of the focus is on pumping water out of underground tunnels and car parks, where it is feared people were trapped as water surged in.
Paco Polit, a journalist in Valencia, told the BBC the new troops would bring in much needed heavy machinery, bulldozers, trucks, and help to improve the speed and organisation of the rescue efforts.
Sánchez said some places are still "suffering from lack of basic resources".
He vowed that teams would work tirelessly until aid reaches everybody and people's lives have returned to normality - and called for national unity.
Authorities have restored electricity to more than 90% of homes, and brought back almost half of telephone lines that had gone down, he added.
The government also authorised 100 interim civil servants to help distribute financial aid.
Carlos Mazon, president of the Valencian government, said all town centres in the region have basic food, health centres and medical centres running.
He offered "heartfelt thanks" to volunteers, but added looting was increasing insecurity in the region.
"I hope those who are guilty will be brought to justice," he said. "Nobody can use a catastrophe to steal or profit, nobody."
Local authorities are facing criticism over the speed of the response and for a lack of warnings in advance of the flooding.
Amparo Andres, who has owned her shop in Valencia for 40 years, told the BBC that at one point the water in the building reached her neck and she believed she was going to die.
"At least I'm alive, but I've lost everything. My business, my home," she said.
"And the government isn't doing anything. Only the young people around are helping us."
The civil protection agency, overseen by the regional government, issued an emergency alert to the phones of people in and around the city of Valencia after 20:00 local time (19:00 GMT) on Tuesday, by which time the flood water was swiftly rising in many areas and in some cases already wreaking havoc.
Juan González, who lives in the town of Aldaia, said the area was prone to flash flooding.
“It's outrageous that our local government didn't do anything about it, knowing that this was coming," he said.
In the devastated town of Paiporta, where more than 60 deaths have so far been reported, residents have expressed their frustration that aid is coming in too slowly.
Unsure whether it was safe to return to home, Amparo Esteve told the BBC: "No-one is helping us. I’ve never been in a war, but this is what it seems like."
The federal government in Madrid is also facing criticism for not mobilising the army sooner than it did and for declining an offer from the French government to send 200 firefighters to help with search and rescue efforts.
Sánchez has vowed to do whatever it takes to help those affected by the disaster.
Volunteer clean-up efforts in Valencia - organised largely by young people on social media - saw columns of thousands of people march to the areas most affected by the flooding.
Organisers at the city's Ciutat de les Arts museum said at least 15,000 volunteers arrived on Saturday morning alone to join recovery efforts there.
Desperate to help, Pedro Francisco, 16, told the BBC he had been waiting in line with his parents for four hours.
“We have to do whatever we can,” he said. “It’s just terrible to see what has happened.”
Also queuing was Oscar Martinez and his wife and son.
“I feel anger,” he said. “This was an avoidable tragedy. All the regional government needed to do was to give us the flood warnings in advance.”
On Friday, the local authorities said traffic would be limited in the Valencia metropolitan area between 00:00 local time on Saturday and 23:59 on Sunday.
Local head of infrastructure Martínez Mus said the move had been taken to ensure emergency services could use the roads freely and to guarantee the supply of water, energy, communications, and food distribution.
In response to looting, Sánchez said he would double the number of civil guard and national police on the streets, after more than 80 people were arrested.
Areas across the south - including Huelva and Cartaya - have also been hit by heavy rains, while hundreds of families in the city of Jerez have had to be evacuated from their homes.
One of the reasons the flooding has been so severe is a lack of rainfall during the rest of the year, which left the ground in many areas in the east and south unable to absorb rainwater efficiently.
The region of Chiva near Valencia saw as much rainfall in one eight-hour period on Tuesday as it would normally see in an entire year, according to state meteorological agency Aemet.
The warming climate is also likely to have contributed to the severity of the floods.
In a preliminary report, World Weather Attribution (WWA), a group of international scientists who investigate global warming’s role in extreme weather, estimated that the rainfall was 12% heavier than it would otherwise have been, and that such weather even itself was twice as likely.

There should be a heavy price to pay for the people that contributed the most to the oncoming climate disaster.
 
The USA, China and India?

Yes.

And obviously people from other countries as well.

The people who polluted the planet the most, mechanically, obviously, but also an extra remit for those who pretended everything was fine simply and purely because they were making good money out of it - there should be severe punishments for these scumbags, too.

And no, I do not care what side of the political aisle they are on, or how they dressed themselves up, or if they pretended to be hugely pro-environment but weren't.

They should pay.
 
Angry crowds of people have confronted Spanish King Felipe VI in Paiporta, Valencia, a town affected by the flash floods

Footage shows the hostile crowd shouting "murderer" - as some protesters threw objects and mud at the king

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been evacuated from the area as the king and queen have suspended a planned trip to Chiva, another area hit by flooding

At least 217 people have died in the flash floods, with many more feared missing

In the last hour, a red weather warning has been issued for parts of southern Valencia by Spain's national weather agency (AEMET)

Danger of more flooding in Spain. An absolute disaster, not sure if we have any Spaniards on here, but if we do take care.
 
They pelted the King with mud because Spain is continuing to provide accommodation for illegal migrants whilst nationals who have lost their home are left on the street.

It’s not because he’s refusing to further raise their taxes to ‘tackle’ ‘climate change’.

You're sick in the head.

Try as you might, no one who has lost their home is pelting the King of Spain because they believe he hasn't done enough to stop 'climate change'.

They're furious because they've been left on the streets. Most ordinary people have more to worry about here and now than the Earth *possibly* combusting in millions of years time.

Get help. They're furious because hundreds are dead, residents weren't warned properly, and haven't been helped anywhere near enough in the aftermath.

People are still missing.

Seriously, seek counselling for your trauma, and get out of your unhealthy echo chamber.

So, in other words - they're angry because they're not getting help, whilst thousands of illegal migrants are safely tucked away in hotels.

I don't see what the point in your original post was, anyway. Did you honestly think anyone would read that and believe Spanish people are angry that the King isn't taxing them more to tackle climate change?

Get help.

It's an emergency situation with a badly botched response.

Seek counselling for your trauma. Whatever is making you force your own narratives on other people's suffering isn't healthy.

Oh, so Spanish people aren't getting help?
 

Heatwave to turn parts of Australia into ‘one of the hottest places in the world’ this week​

Some of the east coast and the north will bake in a furnace of potentially life-threatening heat, the Bureau of Meteorology forecasts

Cait Kelly

A heatwave is due to strike Australia’s east coast, with temperatures expected above 40C, making the country’s north “one of the hottest places in the world” this week, the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast.

Residents in northern New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory are being warned to brace for unsettled weather through the week, starting on Monday, as a mass of heat moves eastward from central Australia.

Temperatures across Queensland and NT are expected to hit over 40C, with a “severe heatwave” forecast for Central West, Channel Country, Maranoa and Warrego and Darling Downs and Granite Belt districts.

Those areas would have “maximum temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s”, the BoM said, with overnight temperatures in the low- to mid-20s.

The bureau said the heat – potentially life-threatening for vulnerable people – will likely peak on Wednesday and Thursday.

Weatherzone is predicting pre-summer heat to hit some coastal areas. Brisbane is expected to see 30-33C every day this week, while Sydney is tipped to be in the low 30s on Thursday, as is Canberra on Wednesday.

Melbourne should hit the high 30s on Tuesday and temperatures could reach 34C on Wednesday. Further south, Hobart is forecast for a high of 29C on Wednesday and Adelaide should exceed 30C on Tuesday.

Weatherzone said the heatwave will make parts of the country the “hottest in the world” this week.

“November is always a hot time of year in Australia as [the] increasing intensity of the sun enhances solar heating across the continent,” it said in a statement.

“This hot weather is most pronounced in central and northern Australia, where exposure to the sun is greater and seasonal monsoon cloud cover is yet to develop, allowing for uninterrupted heating.

“This makes the northern half of Australia home to some of the highest surface air temperatures in the world at this time of year.”

In a statement, the BoM warned severe heatwaves can be dangerous, especially for older people, babies, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with medical conditions and people who are unwell.

“Seek a place to keep cool, such as your home, a library, community centre or shopping centre,” the bureau said.

“Close your windows and draw blinds, curtains or awnings early in the day to keep the heat out of your home.

“If available, use fans or air conditioners to keep cool.”
