Buried. #australia ‘s Climate Risk Assessment

“No one is officially telling Australian people that we have officially passed 1.5°C…The question now is, how much below 2°C can we stay?”

#heat #flood #fire #food #shortages

“Most experts are saying we’re actually on track for 2.6-3°C. Now, that is catastrophic in some areas. So, I think it’s recklessly negligent of either major party to fail to properly inform the Australian people of the risk ahead.”

The Saturday Paper · Exclusive: Secret briefings on climate national security riskBy Karen Barlow

Today in Labor History March 12, 1928: The St. Francis Dam failed in Los Angeles, California, killing 431 people. It is the second deadliest disaster in California, after the 1906 earthquake, and one of the worst U.S. civil engineering disasters ever. A defective foundation and design flaws caused the failure. Yet, the inquest absolved chief engineer, William Mulholland, of all criminal responsibility, and he continued to earn a salary from the Bureau of Public Works (though his career was effectively ended). The authorities continued to find the remains of victims of the flood until the mid-1950s. Many of the victims were washed out to sea. Some washed ashore as far south as Mexico. Mulholland was also the designer of the 233-mile Los Angeles Aqueduct, which sucks water from the Owens Valley and is a major cause of the depletion of the fragile Mono Lake. As its water levels continues to decline, it threatens the world’s second largest gull rookery, home to up to 50,000 birds. The aqueduct’s construction, and the shady methods Mulholland used to acquire the water rights, led to the California Water Wars between L.A. County and Owens Valley farmers. Many of those same Anglo farmers (or their predecessors) usurped the land from Piute people during the 1863 Owens Valley Indian War, which was precipitated, in part, by the vast loss of human and cattle lives, and the displacements, caused by the Megaflood of 1861, which inundated much of the West, from Idaho and Oregon, down to northern Baja California. The corruption related to the construction of the aqueduct has been portrayed in the film Chinatown, and in the nonfiction book, “Cadillac Desert.”

Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government has made a positive announcement for undocumented #migrants impacted by the Valencia floods in October. The government aims to assist some of the most vulnerable victims of the disaster, enabling them to access state aid.

More than 100,000 homes in England could be built in highest-risk #flood zones - theguardian.com/environment/20 so what brain disease is Labour suffering from that it even contemplates building these there? these houses will be uninhabitable

More than a METER of rain.

"Deadly floodwaters triggered by record rainfall in #Australia’s northeast rose for a third day Monday as authorities warned #flood-stricken communities to brace themselves for further destruction.

Months’ worth of rain has fallen over the past few days, with the rural town of Rollingstone recording 1,280 millimeters (50.3 inches) over the past week."

Every state, each state, each country, every country may do the same.

"New York State Fines Oil companies 75 Billion for damages so far from climate attacks."

In your country or state, use the billions to replace oil burning cars, utilities.

Make those who benefit from climate collapse PAY FOR climate collapse.
