More than 160 dead in Germany-Belgium floods as water recedes

The number known to have died has risen in Germany and Belgium after heavy rain caused rivers to burst their banks, sweeping away homes and cars.

Blame game has already begun, with the Green party and several media houses in Germany already having put the finger on climate change.

Floods have become a frequent issue in central and western Europe. With floods in the same area in 2018.

Floods is not new in Europe though. And after several devastating floods in the 19th and 20th century it was concluded that deforestation, poorly planned dam projects, and urban construction near the riverside was to blame.

Experts will likely spend the next few weeks speculating how this will affect the upcoming German federal election in september where the greens are poised to become one of the largest if the the largest party in Germany, with a promise to spend/waste more taxpayer money to replace nuclear power with gas and coal.

I don't see any problem here, Germans should welcome the water flowing into their glorious, tolerant country from waterphobic areas, a few casualties is acceptable as has been already established by previous floods.

The Rhein Fräuleins have grown disgusted with the modern puppet state of the defeated Germans.
 
Uhm short correction: the Green party in Germany is falling since they choose Annalena Baerbock as candidate for chancellor. Not to mention the absolute clusterfuck that was the presentation of candidates for voting lists in the Saarland. The woman on position number one didn't even know what the Green party stands for


And such a flood is not new. Germany had one in 2002 the great Oder flood and this was weeks and weeks long after weeks of rain. While you could argue that climate change plays a part in it I would also argue that this can be attributed to bad planing or weak prevention methods. Fun fact: one of the cities that got flooded had just last year rebuild it's protetive strutures in case this happens. Only this year it was way too strong.

I know the greens go up and down, but they're already trying to capitalise on this even though as you say this happens from time to time, and i think more should be focused on why the climate change money isn't being spent on planting forests next to the river and building dykes. Instead both the Germans and the French have been daming the Mosel and building more and more river locks To meet shipping demands

Or making the rivers flow in a straight instead of letting it have curves so the water flow looses speed. I can't deny that the weather has changed or rather that we had more extremes (I'I actually started to keep record of the weather and temperatures in my region) and oddly enough last year we had at the same time more rainy days and slightly lower temperatures. I doubt the Greens will get back to an upswing considering how many bullshit they produced thus far plus their leading candidate is herself an absolute nightmare. The Greens might get a participation in the coming election but not the main leading position. And I often argue that should the Greens get the goverment 4 years later the Nationals will get the goverment since most people will be pissed after 4 years of "green goverment" which basically means everyone has to pay more for whatever reasons

The Greens were hit hard by their candidate being a blithering idiot and their previous tactic of screeching about muh soggy knees didn't really pay off, so now all their little social media agents are trying to steer the narrative towards "climate change did this, also the CDU candidate is at fault for everything". They don't get that screeching about climate change doesn't convince people who just lost their homes, especially when said screeching about climate change is not really involving any solutions but "make things more expensive and ban everything".
The Greens started out from the anti-nuclear movement, and in their early days they even approved of coal power plants just so nuclear power plants could be done with. They won't even consider using nuclear power, and at the same time they want to turn off all coal power plants, and possibly gas power plants soon after. Somehow they think there's always sun or wind, or that the grid can easily transport power everywhere. They also think that if everyone had electric cars it wouldn't really add much to the power consumption, I guess, or at least they never talked about it.
 
I was going to make a “This is what happens when you care so much about wanting an open borders, illegal immigration policy”, but the flooding of this magnitude should not have to affect innocent Germans who did not ask to still live in that country.

It is great too because those rivers and flood control lakes in the Ruhrgebiet are heavily polluted something like the Ohio River, but possibly worse. The stories I heard about the Kemnader See, lol.

The most effected Areas have Floods like this every 100 years.

Its just bad luck, alot of it is in a hilly area with vulcanic soil, sometimes Heavy rain hits the wrong Hills and fucks up all the valleys.

You mean local knowledge and a historical view of the region's ecology can offer an explanation other than the educated suits on tv saying this is because I won't eat bugs?
 
20 years ago I lived next to a tributary of the Altmühl. At least once a year it would flood like the Nile. Great for farming, terrifying to live next to. Germany might just have fucked rivers.
