#Floods in north #Queensland: Bridge swept away, thousands without power

AFP, 3 Feb, 2025

"Fast-moving floodwaters rose on Monday in northeastern #Australia after forcing many to flee, blacking out homes and sweeping away a chunk of a critical bridge.

"Storms have already dumped more than a metre of rain in two days in parts of Queensland, engulfing homes, businesses and roads in muddy waters, authorities said.

"Aerial footage showed rural communities surrounded by the floodwaters, cut off from nearby roads.

[...]

"As global temperatures rise because of #ClimateChange, scientists have warned that #heatwaves and other #ExtremeWeather events will become more frequent and more intense.

"Queensland is Australia’s most disaster-prone state, experiencing major floods in 2019, 2022 and 2023, research from the non-profit Climate Council shows."

"At least 51 people have been killed in #FlashFloods sweeping the eastern Spanish region of #Valencia following torrential rain on Tuesday that left roads and towns under water.

Scientists say #ExtremeWeather events in the region are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Meteorologists think the warming of the #Mediterranean, which increases water evaporation, plays a key role in making torrential rains more severe."

People in #germany might be thinking less about the #climate #crisis since this year is less #hot and #dry. But in fact we are living through another year of #extreme #weather. The last 12 months had more #precipitation than any other 12 month period since the beginning of weather recording in #1881.

spiegel.de/panorama/deutscher-

The results are #flashfloods , #erosion, destroyed #infrastructure, private #property, immense #costs for the #public and #loss of #life

We live in the climate crisis. It's a matter of #public #safety.

#FlashFloods May Support One of the World’s Rarest Fish eos.org/articles/flash-floods-

"Only a few hundred #DevilsHolePupfish live in an isolated pool in the #desert, where occasional floodwaters roil their habitat... The #fish have a tangled relationship with the sediment that #floods add to their natural fishbowl... Floods disturb the ecosystem in the short term but could generate a greater food source for the #pupfish in the long run."

...( mastodon.social/@HistoPol/1099 ,) a #WealthTax for the #SuperRich (#AbolishBillionaires,)* and mass home-building projects to adapt to #ClimateChange that entails prolonged heat periods, #FlashFloods, #FlashDroughts, and a significant increase in #hurricanes, even in regions that had so far been safe.

Of course, we as a race cannot afford anymore #wars either, and the mass-polution and environmental destruction they entail (look @ the #Gaza strip.)
