Kai Zorn, 10.07.21: "Da baut sich eine richtige Wasserwalze aus... bis nach NRW... Hier wird es mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit zu Überflutungen kommen."

Armin Laschet, 15.07.21: "Als noch die Sonne schien, und niemand erahnte, dass etwas passieren konnte..."
Wenn das stimmt, ist es ein gigantisches Versagen seitens der Behörden und Politik:
Anfang der 2000er Jahre wurde das EFAS eingerichtet, das European Flood Awareness System. 2014 hatte es geholfen, viele Menschenleben zu retten, als es in Südosteuropa Überflutungen gab.
Auch dieses Mal hat das EFAS-System eigentlich funktioniert und rechtzeitig Behörden und Politik gewarnt mit sehr genauen Informationen darüber, wo die Fluten stattfinden würden (und dann auch stattfanden). Nur leider wurden die Warnungen nicht and die Bevölkerung weitergegeben.
Weitere Informationen (bislang nur) in der Sunday Times:
Germany ‘failed to act on flood alerts’
epaper.thetimes.co.uk/the-sunday-tim…
DWD-Meteorologe Marcus Beyer (@meteomabe) hat berechtigte Fragen gestellt:

Was sind die Warnungen wert, wenn so viele Menschen sterben? Hätte man nicht anders reagieren können, im Wissen um das, was passieren wird? Hätte dies verhindert werden können?

Die Regierungen in NRW und Bayern unter Laschet und Söder haben 2019 beschlossen, Hochwasseropfern keine finanzielle Soforthilfe mehr zu gestatten. Der Grund: Wegen des Klimawandels kommt es zu immer mehr Katastrophen, daher zu teuer.
Nun will Laschet (angesichts der Bundestagswahl) doch Soforthilfen gewähren lassen, allerdings nicht unbürokratisch für alle sondern in Form von Steuerabschreibungen. Wer also nichts oder wenig verdient, soll leer ausgehen, schreibt die @fr:

fr.de/politik/sofort…
Deutschland war präzise gewarnt – die Menschen aber nicht tagesspiegel.de/politik/monume…
Wegen der Fluten sind Öl, Diesel und andere Schadstoffe in die Gewässer eingetreten.

"Beißender Geruch: Wasser in Erftstadt mit Benzin verunreinigt"

Die Trinkwasserversorgung könnte über Wochen und Monate gefährdet sein.

In Japan müsste @ArminLaschet sofort zurücktreten, steht in der japanischen Zeitung Nihon Keizai Shimbun.

In Japan ist das eine sehr angesehe Wirtschaftszeitung, vergleichbar mit dem @handelsblatt in Deutschland.

This NASA visualisation has it all: It shows the CO2 emitted into the earth's atmosphere + clarifies who is responsible for the climate crisis: we, the Global North.

1/4
As emitted CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, we Europeans also for historical reasons must reduce our emissions as quickly as possible and develop climate technologies that are globally applicable. This is our mission at @WorldFund

2/4
The visualisation shows the 4 major contributors: fossil fuels in orange, burning biomass in red, land ecosystems in green, and the ocean in blue. The dots on the surface also show how atmospheric carbon dioxide is reabsorbed by land ecosystems (green) and the ocean (blue).

Diese Visualisierung der @NASA hat es in sich: Sie zeigt das CO2, das 2021 in die Erdatmosphäre ausgestoßen wurde + macht erkennbar, wer Verursacher der Klimakrise ist. Wir, der globale Norden.
Wer genauer hinschaut, erkennt, dass der Ausstoß verursacht durch fossile Brennstoffe in Orange dargestellt wird, verbrennende Biomasse in Rot, Landökosysteme in Grün und der Ozean in Blau.
Die Punkte auf der Oberfläche zeigen auch, wie das atmosphärische CO2 von den Landökosystemen, grün und blau, wieder aufgenommen wird - vor allem auf der Südhalbkugel. (Danke!)

Please spend a minute reading this note from William Shatner, the actor from Star Trek:

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe...
...I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration. I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced...
I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with...

Don't be afraid of making mistakes!

I have built teams many times in my career, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is to take away the fear of making mistakes.

1. the employees know that I stand by them.

2. they feel more comfortable in the company.

3. they dare.
As a German with Croatian parents, I have long been a fan of the Croatian national football team. Especially of Luka Modrić. In one scene of the documentary "Captains", Luka talks to the Croatian national goalkeeper Dominik Livaković. He is afraid of making mistakes.
What Luka tells him seems easy to say, but when it comes from your captain, it has meaning:

"Why can't you make a mistake? Everybody makes mistakes," Luka says. "Your problem is that you are afraid to make them. Who doesn't make mistakes? Please name one person."

"Extreme temperature scenarios are underexplored relative to their likelihood. So, we know least about the scenarios that matter most.”

cam.ac.uk/stories/climat…
"Could anthropogenic climate change result in worldwide societal collapse or even eventual human extinction? At present, this is a dangerously underexplored topic. Yet there are ample reasons to suspect that climate change could result in a global catastrophe."
"Why the focus on lower-end warming and simple risk analyses? One reason is the benchmark of the international targets of limiting warming to well below 2 °C... Another reason is the culture of climate science to “err on the side of least drama”, to not to be alarmists"
