Canada floods: 18,000 people still stranded in ‘terrible, terrible disaster’ | Canada | The Guardian

The fossil fuel industry has perpetrated a multi-decade, multibillion dollar disinformation, propaganda and lobbying campaign to delay climate action by confusing the public and policymakers about the climate crisis and its solutions. This has involved a remarkable array of advertisements – with headlines ranging from “Lies they tell our children” to “Oil pumps life” – seeking to convince the public that the climate crisis is not real, not human-made, not serious and not solvable. The campaign continues to this day. (...)

Nearly 10 million people are under flash flood watches across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

In Salt Lake City, Utah, I'll miss any major flooding, but if it should arrive-I live on the 2nd floor of a high rise building. I would love to see a river flowing down the main street, and many things in the city washed away.

Germany knew the floods were coming, but the warnings didn’t work
