The Arctic continues to become less icy, wetter and greener, according to key data points on a report card released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Tuesday."
Sturmflut an der Ostsee: Hochwasser, Evakuierungen und Millionenschäden
Nach der schweren Sturmflut an der Ostsee werden Schäden in Millionenhöhe befürchtet: Besonders betroffen ist Schleswig-Holstein - Überschwemmungen gab es auch in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Aus Dänemark und Großbritannien wurden ebenso Unwetter gemeldet.
@tagesschau Gab es doch schon immer so !1!11! Shietwetter im Norden, so normal…
Auch wenn die Deiche brechen, würden viele immer noch so argumentieren. Außer die schwimmen mit der Welle dann davon.
I’m afraid we’re almost to the oops phase. Greed will likely be the end of civilization. The world must stop using fossil fuels sooner to prevent the yellow part of the bar. OR, build enough spaceships to fly 7 billion people to another inhabitable planet. #ClimateChangeIsReal#ClimateEmergency#ThereIsNoPlanetB
Rather than framing every article about extreme heat in the context of “breaking records,” we might describe it as a glimpse of our future. #ClimateChange
Nearly 900 forest fires are burning in Canada this week ... The majority of fires have been categorized as “out of control” by the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.
According to new research published this spring, a two-day citywide blackout in Phoenix during a heat wave could lead to half the population — some 789,600 people — requiring emergency medical attention in a metropolitan area with just 3,000 available beds. As many as 12,800 people could die, the equivalent of more than nine Hurricane Katrinas. #GlobalWarming#climatechange#weather#ClimateEmergency
Catastrophic flooding, in more and more places, is a clear indicator of a rapidly intensifying climate.
Long predicted by climate scientists, the hydrologic cycle is spinning up.
These headlines from the US, Europe, Asia, are just from the past few days. #climatecrisis
A couple years ago here in St. Louis we had two "500 year" floods in 14 months.
Seeing southbound Hwy 55 closed because the bridge into Jeff County was under water, TWICE, is something I've never seen in the 57 years I've lived here.
Since there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual#transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots.
I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I".
I've worked in #InfoSec for a little over 20 years. I've had lots of roles in #SecEng, #SecOps, and #ThreatManagement. I taught myself #Perl, #Bash, #SQL, and #PowerShell. I'm decent at #JavaScript. I can read #Python and #Ruby. I enjoy automating things and turning manual processes into scripts.
I've been the primary #CareGiver to my wife for 8 years since she developed a chronic condition and went on disability.
My hobbies including #writing#paranormal short fiction, journaling my #dreams, and playing #PCGames on my laptop and #SteamDeck.
I prefer #StarGate over #StarTrek over #StarWars. Still waiting for Amazon to do something, anything with the Stargate property.
While we loved the #ArrowVerse including #Stargirl and #SwampThing, in general we prefer #Marvel over #DC.
I'm a fan of #Horror / #HorrorFam, #HorrorMovies and #HorrorBooks, especially the existential dread of #CosmicHorror or #LovecraftianHorror. I tend to sympathize with the nameless terrors. I am not a fan of mindless slashers, unrelenting gore, or torture porn. Over-the-top, egregious gore that crosses into the absurd is fine, though, so I am a Sam Raimi fan, obvs. Also, #HorrorComedies are underappreciated.
I'm slowly reconnecting with my #Pagan roots. I knew some stuff about #Tarot and had a friend who as a tree a lifetime ago and I'm trying to rekindle that.
We've got #Cats and they are our kids. I also happen to love #Frogs, but we don't have any of those.
