Southern Germany hit by catastrophic flooding
Southern Germany hit by catastrophic flooding
The southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg have been inundated, causing dam bursts and prompting dramatic rescues. States of emergency have been declared in several areas with more heavy rain expected.
Germany is feeling one of the first consequences of climate change - regular catastrophic floodings. One of the last floodings was the one in Ahrtal - here's a report about that one: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/13/floods-then-and-now-photographs-germany-ahr-valley-flooding-disaster-july-2021
Hopefully events like these make more people think twice about which party to vote for!
Unfortunately, I doubt many people will make the connection. Due to the continuing rainfall, it has been relatively cool over the past two weeks. Particularly in Bavaria, the ruling party also has an interest in not understanding that it's connected to climate change.
They will not get it. They see catastrophic weather and see the green is currently ruling, so they'll vote for the other parties who are part of the issue, that caused it in the first place. Humans aren't logical, they go by feelings and even argue that this is fine and YOU have to accept that, because an argument doesn't require logic in their eyes.
Just saw this post seconds ago and it reminded me on this. https://lemm.ee/post/33599740 Read the top comment, be not surprised why people vote for the wrong party. Oh humanity.
