Catastrophic Nepal–Tibet Outburst Flood Caused by Ice–Rock Avalanche, USGS Confirms Landslide Seismic Signal -
Our thoughts are with the families in Nepal and Tibet, where so many people are being hit by flash floods.
The floods are attributed to a large chunk of ice snapping off a glacier in the Himalayas, adding to rising concerns over the impacts of climate change due to indications of floods, landslides, avalanches, and droughts increasing in frequency and ferocity across the region.

Humans: "See how we've torn down entire forests to build rows upon rows of buildings. And see how we've split entire mountains to build 26-lane highways through them."
Also humans: "Oh, we're just tiny, insignificant insects. Our actions could never in a million years affect climate conditions and life itself on Earth."
Wonder no more why everything keeps getting worse.

Climate Change and urban pressures intensify flood risk on the Gulf of Guinea coast
Between 20–22 June, the coastal regions of the countries bordering the #GulfOfGuinea, particularly Côte d’Ivoire, #Ghana, #Togo, and #Nigeria, experienced exceptionally widespread and severe #flooding following intense and persistent #rainfall. In several locations, more than 140 mm of rain fell within less than 24 hours, overwhelming natural drainage systems and triggering extensive #FlashFloods.
The floods affected a very densely populated region where rapid urbanisation and the expansion of formal and informal settlements into floodplains and conversion of natural vegetation to croplands have reduced natural drainage capacity and increased exposure to #flooding. Population growth is projected to continue its upward trajectory in this region, further increasing exposure in the decades to come. -

We need to nationalize #OilAndGas companies, stop #FossilFuels.
We can make a buy-back program enticing enough even conservatives take the cash.1.We announce which companies are coming off the market, let people sell their stocks.
2.If your household value (stock, land, homes, savings) is less than, say, $2.5M, we repay you the difference, to get you back to the average price of that stock for the 12 months preceding our announcement.

Oh, hey. Folks in the path of this soon-stalling monsoon maker might want to stay home tomorrow. I tried driving to Compaq in what was then called a 100-year flood. I barely got going when the freeway stalled. I took an offramp, and thought I'd check a frontage road that ran parallel to it. At an overpass, water sufficient to float cars was pooling. I gave up, called into work, and was fortunate to make it back home. A couple of blocks from my house, people were using rowboats to move around.
This sounds like one of those events is brewing for Friday. Stay weather aware! Don't get caught in traffic.
