The UN has declared that a record breaking #ElNino is approaching, with global #ClimateDiasters imminent.
Where is the investment in the #GlobalSouth to help mitigate the #ClimateEmergency ?
We are fortunate, with the plunder from colonialism to survive with lower costs disasters such as the 2015 Storm Desmond
Why, #Burnham are we building #Jackdaw #Rosebank when we must leave fossil fuels in the ground?

LONG POST ON #ELNINO / #FLOODING
As we hear of the effects of the #ClimateEmergency round the world, and see #flooding in #Norway I am reminded of #StormDesmond that hit #Cumbria between 5th & 6th Dec 2015. In 48 hours #Thirlmere in #LakeDistrict recorded 405mm of rainfall in combination with severe gales up to 81mph. This was an El Nino year.
It was the 4th major storm of the autumn. The ground and the lakes were already saturated.
