Just went and geolocated this picture for an after climate-disaster/before climate-disaster look on Google Maps. Map link below, the main highway V-30, that runs around the south side of the City of Valencia alonside the, often dry, riverbed of the Turia river. #ClimateAction#ClimateEmergency#ClimateChange #valencia#españa #valencia #cambioclimatico#climático

After the extreme rain events this is a picture from the El País newspaper showing a stretch of the V-30 that runs alongside the Turia river. The river is in full flood, very wide with brown turbulent water on the left. In the centre of the picture, the road is partially flooded and there are cars abandoned and debris overtop the road. A roadway sign stretches over the 4 lanes of traffic.

If you hate protesters blocking roads in the name of taking immediate #ClimateAction, you’re going to really hate how Climate Change itself blocks roads.

A picture today from Valencia, Spain where they received 500mm of rain, a year’s worth, in one day on Tuesday. >95 dead.

edit: More Pictures. Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It affected towns just to the south (Sedavi) of it mainly as well as other areas of Southeast Spain.

Another large ski resort in France has announced it's closing for good. After 85 years, Alpe du Grand Serre has cited decreasing snowfall as the main reason for the closure.

The villages making up Alpe du Grand Serre are at 1,368 metres and the highest lift goes to 2,184m.

For a kiwi comparison, Coronet Peak base building is 1,187m while the peak of the Peak is 1,649m.

Climate change... coming to a ski-field near you.

The #Project2025 videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts & bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. There are strategies for avoiding embarrassing #FOIA disclosures & ensuring that #conservative #policies aren’t struck down by “left-wing judges.” Some of the content is routine…. Other segments of the training offer guidance on radically changing how the #federal govt works & what it does.

In one video, Bethany Kozma, a #conservative activist & fmr deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development [#USAID] in the #Trump admin, downplays the seriousness of #ClimateChange & says the movement to combat it is really part of a ploy to “control people.”

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma says.

Inside #Project2025’s Secret Training Videos

“Eradicate #ClimateChange references”; only talk to #conservative #media; don’t leave a paper trail for watchdogs to discover [ #criminal activity]. In a series of never-before-published videos, Project 2025 details how a second #Trump admin would operate.

The more I learn about this #Walz character, the more I like the guy.

“We can't move too fast when it comes to addressing #ClimateChange.”
- Tim Walz

“Tim Walz had the best climate record of any of the VP contenders and has been unafraid to take on #BigOil.”
- Jamie Henn, of Fossil Free Media

"He can't be bought by the #FossilFuel industry. Walz is a climate champion moving Minnesota toward 100% clean energy.”
- Gina McCarthy, co-chairs America Is All In.

Tropical storm Debby is forecast to strike the Florida coast as a Cat 1 Hurricane and dump copious amounts of rainfall in FL, GA and SC, as it slows down and then perhaps shifts northward.

Extra warm waters in the gulf, no thanks to Climate Change, means potential for rapid intensification today.

Tropical storm Debby is currently churning inland near the coast of Georgia. Shortly it will exit to the Atlantic ocean, restrengthen in the warm coastal waters, bend northwards and make landfall again on the coast of South Carolina. It will expected to dump a ton of rain in the Carolinas, 12-20 inches worth, with higher local amounts.

It will then continue on its rain-dumping romp across VA, Washington D.C., NYC and Boston.

Read that again. I did!

From Australia’s ABC News: China will “meet its end-of-2030 target by the end of this month — or 6.5 years early.” Their storage: pumped hydro and battery.

Somebody seems to have instructed #Trump that he was supposed to have been spiritually transformed by the attempt on his life, so he delivered the opening segment of his address in a dreary monotone, the Trump version of pious solemnity. After that prologue, the speech meandered along bizarre byways to pointless destinations. A few mins before midnight ET, Trump pronounced a heavy “to conclude”—& then kept going….

…#Trump demonstrated in Milwaukee that President Joe #Biden is not the only national politician diminished by the years. Trump too is dwindling into himself, even more isolated from such #facts about the external world as elapsed time & audience impatience.

Formless & digressive as it was, the speech did have one major theme—a theme that underscores why & how the #Democrats should be winning this race.
