🌡️ Events like the 2023 Libya floods have become over 50x more likely and up to 50% more intense in contrast to a 1.2C cooler climate finds a recent @christianaid report. It's time to keep the biggest contributors to the #climatecrisis accountable for the #LossandDamage they've inflicted: energy-profits.org

https://lnkd.in/eTNh6etT Nearly 300 lives have been lost, and hundreds are missing due to devastating landslides in Wayanad, India. My heart goes out to the families suffering from one of the worst "natural" disasters in recent history. It's crucial to recognize that these disasters are not just natural; they are increasingly driven by climate change. Unfortunately, little attention is paid to the root causes and preventive measures. In our climate change seminars and workshops, we emphasize how global warming is fueling such extreme events, which are expected to become more frequent and severe. While decarbonization is necessary, it will take decades, and global temperatures will continue to rise in the meantime. We must urgently invest in R&D for faster, safe solutions to cool the planet or parts of it. This call to action is vital for the future of our planet

ALGERIA HIT BY SEVERE WEATHER! ‼️ On June 4, 2024, Algeria was struck by severe weather. Heavy rains caused significant rises in river levels and widespread flooding. The Kabylia region was particularly affected, with large areas submerged under water. Videos from the scene, showing the extent of the disaster and the continuous rainfall, are being widely shared on social media. ‼️ It is necessary to create conditions to unite our entire scientific potential, but this is a task of each of us. The participation of every person is important!‼️ 👍🏻 ❗️We have a solution to the Global Crisis ❗️ 👀Watch more to learn about the true causes of climate change: 🔴https://lnkd.in/g3fuqTxX #CreativeSociety #GlobalCrisis #Responsibility #ActNow #SPEAKUP #Algeria #Kabylia #BouSaada #weather #flood #flooding #thunderstorm #hurrican  #climate #destruction #anomaly #Thursday #Normandy #NBAFinals   

Devastating flood in Burgay Nallah, Skardu, GB, has destroyed 70 households due to glacial melting. The region is experiencing a shift in weather patterns due to the climate change. It’s high time to address the issue. #ClimateAction #GLOF #GilgitBaltistan Voice: Arif Saya

Daytime temperatures in Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) are forecasted to be 4-6°C above normal from May 21 to 27, with possible gusty winds and isolated thunderstorms. This weather pattern increases the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) or flash floods in vulnerable snow-covered and glaciated regions of GB and Chitral. Consequently, district administrations, relevant local organizations, and communities are advised to stay alert and take precautionary measures to prevent any adverse incidents. On May 20, 2024, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) released a GLOF ALERT for Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral.

Regarding extreme weather: China is suffering from drought and floods at the same time. Drought in north, floods in south. Flooding is horrible. Multiple rivers devastating entire towns and removing villages from the map. The iconic Three Gorges Dam, the largest hydroelectric dam in the world, is threatened. See summary and two videos at this link: https://lnkd.in/eRyDwAXR Also, watch the PRC CCP propaganda machine find a way to blame this on the West. 

Time to come as we heat up the environment - It is commonsense and Predicted. Heat evaporates water, and what has gone has to come back as the cycle changes. Mother Nature works to sustain certain Balance. She does not care for our struggle for power. We can expect huge destruction as energy is peaking and falling increasingly and violently. Expect the Mother Quake and Volcanic Eruptions. Mother Earth is reorganizing Read - “What Common Sense Says about Global Warming and Climate Change” https://lnkd.in/ghfaBThj

Pakistan has recorded more than a 50% increase in monsoon rainfall from July to September, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The average rainfall during this period reached 212.1 millimeters, compared to the normal 140.9 millimeters. Balochistan saw the most significant rise, with a staggering 111% increase, totaling 122.9 millimeters. Sindh followed closely with a 108% increase, receiving 278.4 millimeters. This surge in rainfall has contributed to severe flooding across several provinces, highlighting the urgent impact of climate change on the region. #PakistanRainfall #Monsoon2023 #ClimateChange #FloodingInPakistan #PMDUpdates #BalochistanRain #SindhRain #SevereWeather #EnvironmentalImpact #PakistanFloods #RainfallStatistics #ClimateCrisis #WeatherAlert #NaturalDisasters #PakistanMetDepartment

Balochistan experienced the most dramatic increase, with an astounding 111% increase of 122.9 millimeters. Sindh followed suit with a 108% increase, obtaining 278.4 millimeters. This increase in rainfall has caused serious flooding in multiple provinces, underlining the region's urgent need for climate change solutions. #MonsoonRains #ClimateChange #PakistanWeather #Flooding #Balochistan #Sindh #BreakingNews #247newsupdate

Recent floods in Pakistan and Afghanistan can not be attributed to just Climate Change and Global Warming only. It is mostly man made phenomenon and disaster . Over the years, people have grabbed the flood channels and turned them into buildings, roads and farmlands. Flood water has no where to go but make its way through populated areas. I have seen bigger floods in the past, but they caused little damage compared to today's floods. The reason is plain and simple. There were clear paths for excess water to pass through. Unless we revert to old practices, we can not avert these dangers. They will loom over our head for foreseeable future.
