Floods are consequences of the climate crisis 🌊🌧️☔️
Heavy rain has flooded many places in Germany. Like here Erkrath, Bad Neuenahr, Hagen or Wuppertal.
With rising temperatures, extreme weather phenomena become more violent and frequent. Because: A warmer atmosphere can absorb more water through evaporation. The result is heavier and more frequent rainfall. At the same time, the jet stream loses its power because the Arctic and the air above it warm up. So low pressure areas stay longer over a region.
The most recent heat waves, storms and floods are causing serious worries for a large number of German citizens. This is the result of a representative survey carried out by the Kantar Institute on behalf of Greenpeace.
In view of the flood disaster, we need more speed in climate protection.
But as NRW Prime Minister Armin Laschet himself actively slows down climate protection. He wants to allow RWE to mine the climate-damaging lignite until 2038 and is bringing the expansion of wind power in NRW to a virtual standstill with a distance rule for wind turbines.
6 Immediate climate protection measures so that CO2 emissions now drop quickly
👉 Move the coal phase out to 2030 and quickly take the dirtiest coal-fired power plants off the grid
👉 Expansion campaign for renewable energies and abolition of blanket distance rules for wind turbines
👉 Introduction of a speed limit
👉 Prohibition of new registrations of cars with internal combustion engines from 2025
👉 Ban on domestic flights
