You have no f*cking idea what you talking about.
Politicians allow for development in risk areas, dismantled dozens of dams.
This amount of rain is not unprecedented in the area.
70y ago was “climate change” also?
Discussion
The dismantling of dams has nothing to do with this (do you have scientific studies to suggest otherwise?). Development in risk areas is bloody stupid if that's applicable here. Amount is one thing, but increased frequency due to climate change another.
1879 - 1000 people died in the Santa Teresa flood.
1949 - The Turia River flood
1957 - "The great flood" 5m high water levels across Valencia
1973 - Jucar River flood
1982 - Flash floods across the region
All these events were similar in terms of intensity.
Stop vomiting the same stupid narrative 🤦🏽♂️
Dismantling the dams, building walls along a river bed and make watersheds impermeable just make these events more devastating. Yes, that’s a documented fact…
Which dams were dismantled related to the river overflowing in the current Valencia flooding? I think none, but surprise me.
Those walls along the river bed make these events less devastating, because often dried out (summer), hence fragile river banks would get torn apart by debris.
hint: Turia river — azud de Corindón (2017) #silly excuse for a dam
Rivers and wadis are dynamic systems and their valleys are supposed to be flooded, margins to change shape and direction. Walls will only make the water to arrive in more quantities and faster to lower areas.
But hey, sure it was CO2. Pay more taxes and everything will fine!
Building close to river banks and reinforcing them that way – if that actually applicable here, I can hardly image it is in a significant enough scale –will perhaps not help but CO2 will make things much worse for sure. Taxes? Taxes are for public, shared interests (hospitals, infrastructure, education, etc.). The sovereignists rely on those as well, much more than they realize.
Walls along water bodies do increase speed and amount of water downstream.
“Will make things worse for sure”.
What’s the correct amount of CO2 and, of course the desirable temperature (air and water bodies, and please, state all the water bodies because they vary). Oh by the way, you may synchronise it with solar activity, geothermal activity and other factors that the CO2 cult do not factor…
Hope you have a good thermostat, good luck with that 👍 👋
Now you are – towards the end – descending into conspiracy-theory-land! If you need details on climate change check e.g. #NASA or other valid and validated information.
