Central under water in 80 years? Hong Kong’s coming climate
crisis
[quote]Over the past 40 years, typhoons in Asia have become
stronger and more destructive because of rising ocean
temperatures, according to climate scientists. And based on most
projections, severe storms are likely to become stronger and
more frequent. Climatologists predict that by 2050, Hong Kong
will be hit with at least one super typhoon, on average, every
single year. Is the city of 7.69 million people doing enough to
prepare for the coming climate crisis? To find out, the SCMP’s

their lives turned upside down by the last super typhoon,
Mangkhut.[/quote]

Community of Rio Verde Foothills heads toward water cutoff in 6
months
[quote]The community of Rio Verde Foothills is heading toward a
water cutoff in December. They have no plan yet for how to bring
water to their neighborhood.
In 2016, Scottsdale officials decided to cut off Rio Verde
Foothills from the city water supply to keep the city's water
for city residents.
How could a neighborhood of 500 homes be built with no access to
water? Basically, it happened through a quirk of development and
law.[/quote]

France hit by drought: Farmers bear the brunt • FRANCE 24
English
[quote]In this edition, we're looking at one of the key
consequences of climate change: drought. From parched fields, to
burning forests, to houses cracking as the ground beneath them
dries up, droughts are becoming more frequent in France and
around the world. As scientists look for solutions, many are
calling for changes to our agricultural model and the way we
consume, in the hope of conserving Earth's most precious
resource: water.

Extreme weather sees flooding pummel parts of USA leaving many
stranded | ITV News
[quote]Raging floodwaters have pulled houses into rivers and
forced rescues by air and boat began to slowly recede across the
Yellowstone National Park region in the USA.
Tourists and others have been stranded after roads and bridges
were knocked out by torrential rains that swelled waterways to
record levels.
The flooding across parts of southern Montana and northern
Wyoming forced the indefinite closure of Yellowstone National
Park just as a summer tourist season that draws millions of
visitors annually was ramping up.
Just north of the park, hundreds of people remained isolated
after the Yellowstone River and its tributaries washed away the
only roadways in and out of the area.[/quote]

Tourism and climate change - How will we travel in the future? |
DW Documentary
[quote]Exotic destinations, or staycations? As we make choices
like these, we ask ourselves: Will we ever be able to fly
without feeling guilty again? This film examines the tourism
business today, and asks how the industry envisages the future.
The pandemic brought the tourist industry to a standstill. But
it also highlighted something we have long suspected: Namely,
too much travel is bad for the environment. Not only that, but
tourism transforms entire regions - not always for the better.
It profoundly impacts communities and often brings benefits for
only a very few.
But our wanderlust remains. So, do travelers have to decide
between the two extremes: exotic destinations (and high carbon
footprints) or holidays at home? Given the climate emergency,
can we fly without feeling guilty? How environmentally damaging
are cruises? And what does it mean to have a sustainable
holiday? This documentary examines an industry that had gotten
ahead of itself, even before it was hit by the pandemic. We hear
from mayors, tourism managers, a climate expert, an internet
activist and a sociologist.
The film travels to the European tourist hotspots of Barcelona,
Venice and Dubrovnik. The tiny island of Palau in the Pacific
Ocean demonstrates how sustainable travel can be sensibly
organized, and a Parisian start-up develops a concept for
virtual travel experiences.

[quote]Millionaires travel everyday with their private jets, but
somehow I should feel bad for finally affording a once in 5 year
trip on vacation with an airplane. Marvelous. I love this
logic.[/quote]
[quote]Stop blaming flights, main source of greenhouse gases in
transportation sector is coming from personal vehicles, like
your everyday car. More than 40% of co2 in transportation coming
from cars and less that 10% from aviation. People really need
to drastically restrict their car dependency.[/quote]
Stop driving to the airport! ;)

[quote]At least 50 people have died as floods, triggered by
heavy downpour, left millions of homes underwater across
northeastern India and Bangladesh.
Police in Bangladesh said on Saturday that monsoon rains have
killed at least 25 people and unleashed devastating floods that
left more than four million people stranded.
At least 16 people have been killed in India’s remote Meghalaya,
and at least another nine people have died from flooding in
India’s Assam state. Meanwhile, the homes of two million people
were submerged in floodwaters.
Both countries have asked their respective militaries to help
with the situation, which could worsen as rains are expected to
continue over the weekend.
Bangladesh, a nation of 160 million people, is low-lying and
faces threats from climate crisis-related natural disasters such
as floods and cyclones.
According to the UN, about 17 percent of people in Bangladesh
would need to be relocated over the next decade if global
warming persists at the present rate.
