Huge floods in Spain caused by the EUSSR's ECO madness ....The same as the UK’s floods and devastation in Devon and Cornwall when the EUSSR were paying farmers to get rid of trees on river banks. The reason we have flooding in the UK is the EU decided that waste from ditches is to be treated as contaminated, So the farmers stoped cleaning them out. Yet another EUSSR gift
Monster looney EUSSR party, Labour are going the same way, chop down trees to pave way for solar farms and wind turbines on arable farmland where crops were growing, but now farmers are probably going to be deserting regards Rachel and the Budget.
As floods kill hundreds in Spain, why locals believe the appalling devastation around Valencia was the result of the EUSSR's eco-zealotry, which ripped out the historic dams that would have prevented the catastrophe.....
Perched high up on a sturdy shelf in her large garden shed, Mari Fraille believed she was about to drown. The flood water was seeping at her toes.
A torrent had blasted through the front door and swept through her house, so she hurried to the shed and, using a stepladder, scrambled on to the shelf next to an old suitcase.
For 20 long minutes, she screamed for help but no one came. 'It was the worst part of my life,' the 67-year-old told me this week. 'I was alone, everyone else along my row of houses had already fled from the flood.'
But those neighbours who had escaped stopped in a nearby field and conducted a head count. And when they realised Mari was missing, sent two young men to find her.
They climbed over her roof, dived into the water and somehow lifted her off the shelf to safety. 'I was fished out by them and my life didn't end,' she said in tears......

Nothing at all to do with some regions receiving a year's rain in just 8 hours of course.
It's all because of eco-mentalists.
Derp.

With Spain being co-governed by the diktats in Brussels it's fair to say the EU should be apportioned their fair share of the blame.
Thank God we left.

A lot to do with that of course but then that is not unknown in this part of Spain, it is a known part of the current climate, not much has changed. What is known is since the last major event some 67 years ago, rewilding has occurred and some dams removed. |

Didn't noah have to built an arc long before fossil fuels were being burnt and humans had a Carbon Footprint?

But it might have something to do with Spain removing a lot of dams (in line with EU policy) and allowing increased flow in rivers. 'Under a European Union programme to encourage the restoration of rivers to their wild state for the benefit of fish migration, Spain set about dismantling barriers of all kinds. In 2021 it got rid of 108 dams and weirs; in 2022, another 133.' |

It was probably a 100 or 200 year event. See my previous posts on this weather phenomena in Sept/Oct in Spain, over centuries. |

Yes but steamer is going full steam ahead to make us close as close can be © Thornberry as an aside the more I look at steamer the more he reminds me of some old eastern bloc leader from the days of the Warsaw pact with all the charisma of a badly created android |

In 1879 due to extremely heavy rainfall more than 1000 people died in the Santa Teresa flood, in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Teresa_floodToo many coal fired power stations? Too many Range Rovers perhaps?... |

The point is the increased frequency of such extreme weather events due to climate change. In order to facilitate you seeing this you will need to pull your head out of the sand/your arse though. |

Eco mentalists always quote "since records began" but they never mention that although man has walked upright on this rock for the past 200,000 years, records only began a few decades ago. |

Monte, my deluded lefty friend, the bible and I'm not religious btw, says the great flood lasted for forty days. This apparently happened in 2350 BC Mesopotamia and apparently it is likely that a huge flood could have occurred because the Mesopotamians were keen on coal fired power stations and Range Rovers, damn them. The ark however maybe poetic licence. As I mentioned previously, extreme weather events are not unusual. If only the Mesopotamians had twitter...
