Locations around the globe are experiencing #ClimateDisasters on a regular basis.
Some of the most #marginalized populations experience disasters so often it has come to be normalized.
A #NewStudy from #UniversityOfKansas found residents of a #Seoul#SouthKorea, neighborhood have grown so accustomed to living through extreme #climate events they've developed a “disaster subculture” that challenges views of reality & how social agencies can help.
Hydro projects can get in-principle clearance before impact study: Govt to states
To be sure, the 2013 order said results of cumulative impact and carrying capacity studies will be considered while considering environment and forest clearance.
Sydney, Australia, Nov 26 (EFE).- "Dozens of protesters, including a 97-year-old man, were arrested on Sunday during a #ClimateChange protest off Australia’s east coast that disrupted operations at the country’s biggest coal export port.
"#ClimateActivist group #RisingTide had organized the protest to block the traffic of coal cargo ships in the port of Newcastle since Saturday.
"The group said on its Twitter account that at least 59 people have been arrested so far.
"Since Saturday, groups of 50 to 60 protesters have been taking turns in rostered two-hour shifts getting on canoes and inflatable boats and preventing ships from leaving the port.
"Among the protesters who went out to sea was Alan Stuart, a 97-year-old religious pastor.
"Stuart said he was doing it for his grandchildren and future generations after being pulled out of his boat by the police.
"'I am doing this for my grandchildren and future generations because I don’t want to leave them a world full of increasingly severe and frequent #ClimateDisasters,' he said. 'I am so sorry that they will have to suffer the consequences of our inaction. So, I think it is my duty to do what I can and to stand up for what I know is right.'
"Rising Tide claims that the protest prevented more than half a million tonnes of coal from leaving the Newcastle port by the time the demonstration ended.
"Protesters demand that the Australian government stop all new projects that involve the use of fossil energy and confront the #ClimateCrisis more decisively.
"The climate crisis is one of the big issues of political debate in Australia, a country exposed to the effects of #droughts and #ExtremeTemperatures.
"Australia is the world’s second largest exporter of thermal coal and the largest exporter of cooking coal."
Experts link Cyclone Michaung to climate change, say Chennai will face more in future
Chennai as a whole received close to 45 centimetres of rain between Sunday and Monday night as Cyclone Michaung, the fourth tropical cyclone over the Bay of Bengal this year slowly moved through the coast.
The tendency of #transportation agencies to focus on capital funding and grants is an artifact of the insane century of highway building which has brought us to the current state of #climateDisasters. Also their budgeting process is madness, and money is money. We're suffering so much debt to the costs of daily operating and maintaining a system of #carSupremacy, the lives lost to traffic crashes, emissions, all of this is due to priorities and operational issues, and money is money.
"From 2016 to 2021, four types of #ClimateDisasters (floods, storms, droughts and wildfires) — the frequency of which has increased due to #GlobalWarming — led to 43.1 million #child displacements in 44 countries, the report says.
In a sweeping report on the issue,[#Unicef] detailed the heart-wrenching stories of some of the children affected, and co-author Laura Healy told AFP the data only revealed the "tip of the iceberg", with many more likely affected."
Forced migration is a major cause of language extinction. Environmental disasters are driving these displacements in the very regions richest in languages.
257 Deaths, ₹ 7,000-Crore Property: Himachal's Huge Losses This Monsoon
The monsoon season commenced in Himachal Pradesh on June 24. According to the officials, the monsoon's death count stands at 257 lives lost due to a range of causes.
Research shows that increasingly complex #ClimateRisks, in which several extremes interact, are a direct consequence of rising extreme weather trends. More and longer-lasting extremes translate to higher likelihoods of consecutive #ClimateDisasters. Such “compound” events are usually associated with greater impacts, often beyond the sum of the effects had each disaster occurred in isolation.
Why so much misinformation and bonkers conspiracy theories around Canada's wildfires:
"It’s a huge problem — the existential challenge of our times. The urge to turn it into a fantastical but simple tale that has a beginning, middle and end, an obvious villain and a clear-cut spark is understandable. But these tales are just a smokescreen, distracting from the growing number of smoke signals from communities across the country desperate for serious climate action."
