Extreme weather, rising sea levels, devastating floods - The global climate crisis | DW Documentary

- Extreme weather is occurring more frequently worldwide. Rising sea levels and heavy rain are causing devastating floods. Most researchers agree that these are the consequences of climate change. But what can we do to protect ourselves?
In July 2021, the Ahr Valley in western Germany was hit by a flash flood after heavy rainfall. Over 100 people were killed, thousands of homes were severely damaged. Experts are calling it the ‘flood of the century’. Yet extreme weather events such as the Ahr Valley floods have become more frequent in recent years - not only in Germany but worldwide. Mozambique has been hit by devastating cyclones for the third year running. In Bangladesh, the monsoon season has become heavier and more unpredictable due to climate change. More and more land has been flooded as a result. At the same time, heavy storms that cause flooding and rising sea levels threaten the south of the country. Experts estimate that 30 per cent of Bangladesh will be permanently flooded in a few years, making millions of people climate refugees.
Wealthy countries such as Germany are now investing billions in the battle against the floods. The Netherlands have long pioneered in flood management, building powerful pumping stations, ever higher dikes and flood barriers. None of these options are available to poor countries. All they can do, along with improving early flood warning systems, is to resettle the people affected. The film ‘Global Climate Crisis - How to Tackle the floods?’ shows the unequal fight against the consequences of climate change with examples from Germany, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Mozambique.

I will repeat the following quote again:
"The earth is not in peril. Humans are in peril"
Yes but luckily we do have legs.
What does having legs got to do with anything.
Rubbish. All living creatures (flora & fauna) will be impacted by CC.
@@hifiandmtb you misinterpreted the quote! The quote is for people who think the effects of climate change won't affect them. Of course, everything on earth is affected by these changes! Humans are the only "fauna" to blame for these changes.
The 430+ nuclear power plants on the planet will be the judge.
The urgency of addressing the global climate crisis is palpable in the face of increasingly frequent and devastating floods. This documentary sheds light on the stark inequality in resources available to tackle this issue. It's a call to action for a more equitable and sustainable future. Thank you for raising awareness.
29 inches of rain fell in Italy in 12 hours this week. What human infrastructure could possibly handle that level of water? Or even natural infrastructure? Given that ALL climate scientists say it is going to get worse, how in the world are any of the "solutions" to prevent flooding going to work??
Cause the floods won't be happening all the time, ultimately people may need to not live in flood prone areas etc. People adapt either way just as they did before...
love the quality of these documentaries I believe it's the only successful state media company in the world I hope there'll be more like it in the future
State media is state media. Remember that.
@Θ.Σ.Κ.30 😂😂😂 100%
scientists believe they are THE ALL knowing gods and Nothing is above them! they are such a Joke!!!!!
@@benjenkins5949 are you going to repeat the same rant on every comment thread?
@Θ.Σ.Κ.30 not really even though many of my countrymen migrate to Germany in 90's and early 2000's after they took the passport they left they said for better opportunities and you add another reason beside you should be thankful for industrial country with low birth rate like Germany you need migration to keep economy going do research on numbers numbers doesn't lie
I love the guy's floating farm. Work with nature and reap the reward.
Yep.

Can't expect for this to get less if we don't stop the insane way we treat the planet and animals.
Don’t be so naive.
@@j.b.4340 It's not being naive, but a matter of accepting the truth & dealing with the consequences. It's no surprise we're trashing the planet from all different angles, but actions need to be taken now from the individual all the way up to government level to prevent doing more irreversible damage to the ecosystem.
@@clublulu399 I agree - the rich who control the world - made much of their money from polluting the world yet now they make their money from peddling CO2 reduction bullshit - man made climate change is a con that hides the real damage done. Look how they aren’t calling for organic local mixed farms or the banning of glyphosate - they want man made fake food made in factories from GMO garbage and the real traditional farmers off the land. Rewilding is a con. Groups like XR are funded by huge global investment funds for the obvious reason that what XR are campaigning for is just what the rich globalists want to happen.
But it is the governments fault look at history the past 200 years you will see.
These conditions would be present regardless of mans existence. The earth constantly goes through these shifting weather patterns. It is only acknowledged so much because people are inhabiting areas that are going to be prone to this.
However the way we treat everything should be existing regardless...
They should visit Rwanda and learn from how we dealt with flooding. We simply moved all the people who lived in a valley or near a river and relocated them to higher ground, now it is prohibited to build in any valley or any flood-able area. People complained initially and accused the government of tyranny, but as soon as the first heavy rain came, no one complained anymore. Sacrifices will have to be made to adapt to climate change, and those who fail to adapt will pay in lives lost and property loss.
Ah
I guess the Dutch, a people that famously live in a country that is 80% below sea level and whose hills are no higher than a bicycle should just solve their millenia long fight against the encroaching sea by "Going up to the hills"
@@kenbee1957 this wouldn't work in Netherlands, i agree. Rwanda is called the land of a thousand hills, and obviously this solution is for places with similar geography like in this video.
@@madoxxxx06
It shouldn't work in Rwanda either....or anywhere really
Because the solution to accelerating extreme weather from climate change can't be, "Sell your house and move to the hills"
@@kenbee1957 well you have the luxury to be able to prioritize what should happen instead of what is actually happening, in Rwanda we have to deal with reality as it is, not as we wish it was.
Is the higher grounds are not prone for landslides??? Running away cant solve this problem
Its my one of favorite documentary channel on UA-cam

This is terrifying 🥺
No... more kayaking for me 👍
@@jehu1368 No… more swimming for me. 👍🏽
Waterworld!! Kevin costner already has the plan! Lol
Stop with the infantile behaviour
..people didn't know
The fact is that every vehicle driving person is actually moving a load of about 2 tons just to be carried to the next nearest restaurang or mall, without thinking about the impact on the environment. Bad practices as such must be stopped. Some even drive SUVs just to discard the rubbish.
@@Trialnerror A simple logic of studying human history suggest otherwise. I thought everybody in the US and most other countries are required to study history courses in junior and high school? It's not rocket science, it's simple logic.
One thing the pandemic exposed was that people hop about the country and overseas at the drop of a hat ..every weekend buzzing off to places far afield ...is it the superficial need for stimulation ? More !more! I chose a town to live in that I could walk from one side to another so I could not drive a car .. I was surprised I was the only one who had thought of that ...my bad !
Statistically insignificant, Globally transportation accounts for a mere 15 to 20 percent of emissions each year, Coal is the single biggest contributor to anthropogenic climate change, the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for a whopping 80% of carbon dioxide emissions world wide.
This is like humanity getting a bandaid out for a splinter in the middle of an active minefield, we about to loose our legs and we're worried about a bloody bit of wood....
It's time to stop ignoring what's right in front of us.
Over a decade ago the United Nations stated that a global shift towards a plant based diet is vital to save the world from the worst impacts of climate change. lts now 2021. The planet we call home simply cannot take the decimating impact of animal agriculture any longer.
Every time we purchase animal products, we're supporting an industry that is either the main contributor, or a leading contributor to every major form of environmental devastation.
Deforestation, water pollution, eutrophication, soil erosion, habitat loss, species extinction, ocean dead zones, plastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, water use, land use, and the list goes on. There is no way to get around the fact that animal agriculture is destroying the Earth. It's time to change.
Im vegan too, but this is ignoring there are two industries to blame. You are leaving out the fossil fuel/oil industry.
To tackle flood problem, only barricades is not safe enough. Mangrove trees have to be planted all along coastal area. Then it can be sure and effective to combat flood problem. Drainage system must be in good shape too.
To tackle the sinking land due to so called climate change but actually is the indication of the earth is dying due to human ignorance, irresponsibility and sinful ways of life. And the best and effective way to minimise the sinking land is to establish landfill system accordance with garbage incernation system.
Some scientists think they can start a colony on Mars, 😃, they should work on fixing earth.. Use all that research money to plant trees 🌳
Yes that's why I get annoyed at the billionaires who wanna promote space tourism, why not spend the billions on creating a better world
Earth is exhausted already. Nothing to innovate anymore. Time to settle in other Planets before Earth 🌎 swallows us all
🦷
Concrete certainly is significant hold
scientists believe they are THE ALL knowing gods and Nothing is above them! they are such a Joke!!!!!
This isn't the weather alone. This is greed and corruption at such a sinister level by literally a handful of families. But it's all the rest of who will be paying the price, and that gets nearer everyday...
Yes enjoy life now, ride the wave
@@humnnn Yeah when ya rent, you don't own anything and is sad that people can't even afford that. But we continue to import and take care of other's, when we can't even care for ourselves and is stupid as stupid gets 😥
Couldn't agree more! It not the average person at fault for global warming and climate change. Its the big oil and gas companies, the power companies, car companies, electronics who are all responsible for making products that damage and are harmful for the environment! We need to do all we can to save the environment, but society forces to pay more for "green products", and we are forced to use services and buy products that aren environmentally friendly! These big companies are only concerned with making money and usually at the expense of the environment! If I could buy an environmentally friendly phone I would, but all I can do is simply not buy a new one. I have to heat my house with a kerosene stove! I would prefer not to use a fossil fuel for heating but I can't afford it and there is no other economical greener option. All I can do I bitch and complain and try my best not to use non environmentally friendly products and services, but that obviously isn't enough for a billion dollar company to make greener products and offer greener services.
If anyone thinks they can create this...they think they are YAH...did you or anyone you know create anything here without using what YAH created...NO...all have a right to chose...🎺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💡
Then recreate it!
For 30 years the people in power haven't taken the global climate crisis seriously, why would they now? I am very pessimistic!
£$£$"$£$£$ thats why
If you understand the human psychology and evolution of our brain, you will know that we are very selfish, short sighted and seek quick pleasure. Just like with junk food and obesity or social media driven by dopamine. Also we are driven by tribe mentality you vs me. It's hard to take action if the problem doesn't affect you now or it initially only affect poor people far far away. And its everyone who needs to do the change.
Everything is fine when your playing with your water toys from the tender garage on board your fully-staffed yacht.
People seem to think that flooding only affects people near natural waterways.
I live in a state that doesn't have a flat spot on it.
We have flooding events but even high areas are affected by landslides.
I work in the construction industry and in the past 5 years we have become landslide emergency experts.
Last year we cleared over a dozen slides that took out highways,roads,homes and bridges.
Where our buisness is located there is a small stream that has a railroad running over it in several locations.
Approximately 2 miles of this stream was reengineered due to extensive damage to the rail,bridges and nearby property.
We had 10 such events in a 10 month period.
I personally watched a small stream turn into a raging river.
To the point were rescue crews with powered rubber rafts were brought into to rescue people trapped in their cars.
I'm now a firm believer in climate change and that no one is immune from it.
DW Thanks for this Documentary. It's terrifying😱😱😱. (Please Save The Earth🙏🙏🙏)
those floating farms are pretty smart! really interesting!
super!
Floating gardens was a thing used frequently in the past. The aztecs had the lake around their capitol filled with these.
As the time goes, rather changing our lifestyle. We most likely to just adapt to our new environment. Because, let's be honest guys. Our government didn't give two shit about our lives. It's either we adapt and life, or fail and dead. I just hope the vulnerable group will suffer less.
Nathasya yes, 32 to 40 years ago scientist have been warning of the total co2 that is being put back into the atmphere and the effects it would have. Order the book "Uninhabitable Earth"
You don't tackle floods.... they tackle you.
Move or be moved.
Stop rebuilding in a flood plain.
Terrifying, Germany flooding California burning, volcano's erupting, and is only going to get worse. Ugh praying for us all.
Whew! It appears each generation has its own problems to resolve and this is as big a problem as we can imagine. Best of luck to all of us!
Thank you for reporting 🍀
My grandparents lived in Buch am Wald in Bavaria and that area is so beautiful and preserved. Germans take pride in their cities and towns. Those houses have been there since the 1500’s I believe. I loved living there as a child.

@@benjenkins5949 They know their own field. Very few of them deal with climate impacts. Its not profitable.

It was a very mild Winter, in Northern Illinois. For the second year in a row, I didn't have to use my snow blower to clear off a foot of snow. I only had two to three inches, at most, at a time (easy to clear off with a snow shovel)........The way i see it, in 125 years, I'll have summers like Saint Louis has now. Texas will be unlivable.
People who live in First World Countries do not want to give up their modern convenience items, if they are Middle Class, or Higher.
Well, one mild winter doesn't mean anything. You have to look at what is happening in terms of hundreds and thousands of years, not one winter!
Sorry but it's true. Climate change is something that you can only understand the trends of it when you look at thousands of years. You have to look at all the data. One winter means absolutely nothing.
Here in Saskatchewan, Canada, we had a normal winter last winter. So, see what I mean? One mild winter in one state means nothing. That's just the normal fluctuation. If you want to look at what is happening with climate change, you need all the data - you need to understand the normal fluctuations, and you need to understand the non-normal ones caused by climate change, and that is something you need hundreds/thousands of years of data to understand.
Like I said, our winter was normal for us. Snowing by October or so, big big snowfalls early November or so, as cold as -40 during the winter, -50 or so with the windchilld, spring slowly arriving in April and May.
Actually it's much sooner than that. And the early 2000s I was in Canada. The Canadian public has a higher degree of educational attainment. They are much smarter than Americans and there is more money spent in the government sector when it comes to the environment. In the early 2000s supercomputers predicted that based on the rate of carbon emissions stated that US states that reside between Florida and Southern California and my guess would be other countries on the same latitude, would be uninhabitable. Temperatures would be so shockingly high that nobody can go outside and do their daily task without succumbing to extreme heat stroke and death. Some of these conditions have already been met and makes some countries super dangerous during the summer. I monitor global temperatures and the hotspot is anywhere within a 500 or 1000 Mi rate radius of Kuwait in the Middle East. Kuwait sees regular summer temperatures of 140° in the shade during the summer.
Plant trees simple..Don't mine sand in the rivers . Don't narrow down river passage don't encroach waterbodies to build lavish villas. protect vegetation
If only the politicians had acted 40 years ago, even if we stop all co2 tomorrow we are riding on a great momentum now that can't be reversed. Change is coming, but many places will still be livable in the future.
Very simplistic approach for a very complicated problem that's been brewing for decades. Unfortunately I think it's too late for us. It's only going downhill from here, since "they" won't even agree on measures to slow down climate change much less reverse it.
scientists believe they are THE ALL knowing gods and Nothing is above them! they are such a Joke!!!!!
@@benjenkins5949 well everything is in fact below them especially earth 🌎
either build in a hill or build a raised up house in a valley, valleys are bound to turn into rivers on heavy rain.
They should use Netherlands idea for flooding
Different flooding causes.
Netherlands has floods from storms at the sea. This is floods from extreme rain.
Another Excellent Video From Excellent Documentary (DW) channel.. which coverage the issue with clearly -Bravery -Believable & through every sides of this Dangerous issue
😲😲😲😲😲😲
lets be honest humanity will not survive to the year 3000.
Not with that mindset no.
Well in the mean time enjoy the day and stop being consumed with all the stupid hysteria
Tbh we probably will, but we're heading for a dark age which you probably wouldn't want to live through.
Climate change isn't a humanity ender, it is a major catalyst in destroying human civilization. Usually major collapses of empires or severe instability are precluded by some type of climate change along with various other social and economic reasons that are all exacerbated by a changing climate.
The Bronze Age collapse comes to mind, all the major civilizations basically ceased to exist except for Egypt as a rump state. There were still people but most of them were raiders, nomads and unsettled peoples until conditions for settled peoples to thrive again returned.
Sea turtles and crocodiles are better suited to life than us.
DW Documentaries are rich in content and Genuine!
God willing the planet on a whole needs to pull together to start to tackle the global warming issue for future generations otherwise the planet will be uninhabitable 💔✌
That is what is happening. Read the book "Uninhabitable Earth"
Well yeah but it's hard to pull together with jerks like the guy in the video saying that 'rich countries' should pay for all this! He isn't even right about 'rich countries causing the most pollution'!!!! He is obviously NOT AN EXPERT.
The BIGGEST POLLUTORS are POOR countries with ZERO environmental standards! India, Bangladesh, Pakiston, etc. Now they want US to clean up THEIR mess!!! Dream on. I really don't care if a country like Pakistan floods and disappears forever.
That's probably why you need to read these two books. One is by a famous cryoscientist. Title of the book, farewell to ice by Peter Wadhams. I suggest you order that book and read it cover to cover. There's another book by David Wallace Stone called uninhabitable Earth. Read that book this is a consequence of not pulling back carbon dioxide emissions, pulling back methane emissions and deforestation.
Good quality Documentary as always.
Wow I'm afraid of what's going to happen where I live in California 😨 I hope it's not the big earthquake
The southwest will be uninhabitable, which means everyone will need to leave or die. Many are aiming at 2100, but things are moving faster than anyone can measure, so maybe by 2035 we'll see full cities needing to be abandoned.
How did you escape from Mozambique to California?
This planet won't even see 2100... I'd say 2030 or 2025 is all we have. It reached 100 degrees in Antarctica
My heart goes out to you. God bless you all.
God bless u keep it up
Some parts of the world are flooding, while here in CA we are drought ridden and burning up.🔥🚒
And then it isn't flooding and the fires go out been going for ever ....people just shouldn't build in flood prone area or think having a home snuggled away in the bush might have a weather issue some days hysteria grandiose
@@steverowe8130 Well that may help too but these people have lived there for a very long time. First time flooding with this magnitude. I have lived in CA since returning from Germany in 1977 and these fires just started in 2012. This when I started seeing all the world catastrophes more frequently.

Of course gulf coast below sea-level or barely at in a hurricane prone area hmmm and guess what happens daaaaaaa

is nice to see nature takin back whats hers
Not so nice when you actually live there lol
I've been travelling the whole coast of britain for the last 2.5 yrs, I have seen zero evidence of rising sea levels?????
Same on the west coast of Canada same shoreline and tides I guess it's selective when it's suits the hysteria
like most things that get politicized their is a lot of bullsh1t. the sea rising would happen if the poles melted a lot. basicaly worst case senario.
The average rate of sea level rise is currently a little over 3 mm per year, you really think you can observe an increase of a few milimeters by just traveling along the coast for a couple years? Tidal variation would obscure this trend for someone just looking at the coastline. You need tidal gauges, buoys, or satellites to measure sea level rise.
@@AA-vi1cc nothing stays the same for ever as we've learned unearthing previous civilizations towns cities bla bla bla . Just don't buy a home on an island in the pacific at 5 ft above seal level or a coastal shoreline or a flood plain and be floored if it disappears one day. What the hell do you think will eventually happen.

What experts? They have terrible watermanagement. Netherlands has been warning them for decades.

Silchar, Assam,India , very extreme situation in Silchar city. Water levels in the city is like house 🏠 are submerged under water 💧
Warning from now on " every human being" will need a plan to escape " Mother Nature" ⚡️⛈☔️🌊💦
These events are not extreme if they occur all the time. They then become the norm.
Yes, they are. Because the word 'extreme' is used to describe the scale of the event, not the frequency of it.
We have public warning sirens here in the Netherlands. They could work out counter productive though, we’ve learned when the sirens go of, to get inside the house and close windows and doors.
More like had, the system is taken down due to cost of maintenance. Government thinks using mobile phone alerts will replace them. Like those systems always work and everyone has one.

First thing to correct building construction a proper way. water needs to go a proper way.mean proper drynage system.in global all goverments must address this along with global warming.its impeccable.
Oh my God this is so sad 🤔🤔🤔
But what can you DO in a flood? Where do you go? Especially if your entire town is a flood zone? Where I live, this is only an issue on the "low" side of town and we have insurance for floods but it looks like some places like Germany are in deep trouble if it rains too much.
it depends on why floods are so heavy
I am Bangladesh
Rite now we are getting our turn one hour from Vancouver Canada main Trans Canada border ready to burst from Frazer river
Your the story telling Boss no doubt!! But I won't be able to sleep tonight! 😥
When it comes to disasters, Germany looks like it does great in response and recovery but it can learn a lot of other countries. Flood prevention from the Dutch, risk reduction from typhoon-prone countries like Taiwan and the Philippines.
We can also learn anti-corruption from the Germans 🇵🇭🔥🔥
The Dutch teaching flood prevention: build houses below the sea level.
The dutch maybe caused part of the flood
Waaaaaaaaaaa
Germany doesn't get typoons, though, does it? So that wouldn't be useful to learn.
No 😢😢
On no... if only there was some way we could use our intelligence to not buy a house in a flood area or to buy on a hill...
@Sherri T[A]P Me!! To Have [S]EX With Me nothing I said there was political... just saying that if you buy a house in a area known for flooding you're and idiot. Plenty of hills to buy on or further away from rivers etc
I think we're I building a house I knew was on the oceans occasional dance card,I would build it like a boat upside down. The bow would face the water to part the water and debree around the house instead of through it. The aft so too would be as the bow to part the water on decline. Build your seabearing homes incorporating the function of the bow and see them stand longer and stronger.the bow can also be used in landscaping channeling water away from your investment. Happy building.
Just noting that India gets most of its energy from coal and some mines are unworkable at the moment due to unprecedented flooding. In Taiwan water shortage stopped chip production impacting on industry globally. Impacts on infrastructure including principally agriculture are going to lead to many serious shortages.
How is overpopulation not mentioned far more?
I mean Bangladesh went from 48 million people in 1960 to 165 million 2020.
This massive growth of the amount of humans matters a lot. It means people live in every part of the country where they before did not.
This is not just Bangladesh but most of the world.
Just look at how Saudi Arabia went from 4 million people in 1960 to 35 million in 2020. They almost become 10 times as many people and this even though they produce no food.
People have started living on lands where humans weren't meant to be able to live. This means that when climate change happens this already uninhabitable places becomes even more uninhabitable and suddenly it's a world problem.
Netherlands is a great example as well. People weren't meant to live under sea level.
@@sebastianwallin3726 Why don't you mention India in the above information. India's population is exploding like there is no tommorow.
@@Fan-zx1lz
There is almost 200 countries and i mentioned 3 of them. That means i left out 197 nations.
India is just like Bangladesh also relevant however i chose Bangladesh because they are more threatened by climate changes than India.
The destruction of Rainforest is speaking VOLUMES Id say. 🤯
Don't build homes in know flood prone areas or plop your home in the middle of a forest or clinging from a rugged hillside and then meltdown with hysteria and instantly blame it climate issues when a heavy rain or forest fire occurs.....
Dead right. The urban development in those German valleys looks like it was deliberately designed to funnel huge quantities of water through them.
Those towns are hundereds of years old. There was nothing like urban planning but simply building near rivers to use the water right away. The fact that those houses are now being destroyed points to the fact that the floodings have not appeared for hundred of years this strong.
@@Fruehlingseffekt of course the situation is different with European areas and unfortunate flooding we saw earlier this summer. In North America its more urban planning and infrastructure errors or lach of.
It's going to be winter and spring within one week in nyc.
Thank you DW media for bringing this issue to the world 🙏
Imagine on a siren and you say never gonna give you up never gonna let you down
That is right living within the water than against the water infact brunei is one for more than 50 years many live on top of the water infact it has school and look like a subdivision..i watched it on you tube...
Some weeks ago parts of Germany were severely flooded. Not it's the balkan and Italy.
This is very sad to see, we are the ones destroying our environment so this is the effect.
How many live by low coastal ?
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

Having better early warning systems or better ways to block rising water isn't the answer. That's trying to improve the symptoms without addressing the cause. It also ignores what's coming, which is a world with weather events that will do massive damage so often we won't be able to afford to rebuild like it was before. Civilization will devolve into poverty. The warnings from climatologists was ignored for too many decades and now the consequences will increasingly get worse.
This world is in big Trouble
Youre in big trouble mentally and emotionally if you let fear mongering ruin your day, week, or year

Withdrawing resources from catastrophe management will never not claim lives. While they were still maintained during previous identical size floods those floods didn’t kill and came with timely warning. As well as the response being shambles without communication between authorities. It wasn’t enough just to look after the bridges. No one helped the people at home except the volunteers.
There is no water in the Sahara.
no flood problems.😁👍
Who says it? In fact, the Sahara is also experiencing flooding
We cannot build our way out of this.
The base of all the problems regarding climate change and its effects is overpopulation. Natural forest lands that could swallow water have been exchanged for roads and houses and funny enough the increasing demand for biofuel in the western world (since we want to be so “environmentally friendly”) only causes further logging. The poor countries are hardly innocent in the climate change with their massive burning of tropical forest in exchange for palm oil plantation. And the base of all problems: overpopulation. There is an exponential increase in world population that will only continue to cause even more floods and climate refugees so that even more people will be crammed into a decreasing land space. If we want anyone to be able live on this earth (animals and plants included) some hundred years from now, we have to reduce the number of children being born, in all countries of the world.
Amen..well said.

A bit weird to see completely unnecessary commercial messages eating grey electricity on a topic like climate change.
I don't know if he is the mayor or not...As the leader of the community, you should know how to handle an advisory from experts instead of questioning the data/information you should abide by it and create a decision that is beneficial to your people. You should also know the hazards that are available in your community and try to mitigate them.
Don't forget techonic movement high and low land 🙂
Humans are too short sighted to save themselves
Interesting this will be world wide
What's the point of building houses and not finishing them off!! That's a waste of money. Most of the people are old and poor and can't afford materials! Who advises the contractors and where has all the money gone!
