Catastrophic flooding across western Europe as politicians blame climate change – BBC News

Spread The Viralist



More than 120 people have died and hundreds are still missing after record rainfall caused the worst flooding in parts of Western Europe for many decades.

In Germany dozens of people were unaccounted for, with the Chancellor Angela Merkel describing the floods as a catastrophe.

Torrential rain has also devastated parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. 

Survivors have described the terrifying speed at which water levels rose.
 
Some politicians in Germany say the extreme weather is the result of global warming and they’re calling for more urgent action to counter climate change.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting – from Jenny Hill in Erftstadt, Germany – Anna Holligan in the Dutch town of Valkenberg – and chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt on the threat posed by climate change.

  2. climate change would be happening even if there wasnt any people on the earth , fact , were as greed will be with us forever, to say we are to blame , and the bbc report it that way,, they should be ashamed of them selfs , volcanos pump billions of tons of crap in the air every day , far more than people do , not to say we should do nothing to try and help matters , politicians should be kept well away from these matters,, sea defences need to be built first , not electic cars and solar

  3. This form of reporting should be banned, nature is not the bad guy. People who build their lives near rivers within valleys as this clearly is are individually responsible. What are you going to do? Sue natural process and demand payment!?

  4. In this way, the world will gradually be destroyed, but some intellectual people in the world do not want to accept that they say climate change is drying the throat😄

  5. Of course this has nothing to do with current volcanic activity and sun flares and solar winds oh no its just not possible that we can feed the lords children without someone cashing in on it
