WOW just saw this on Euro news you tube page Flash floods in Spain leave at least 72 dead and disrupt rail and road services Final death toll is not yet known after flash flooding in eastern and southern Spain left several people missing, and prompted a red alert for heavy rainfall with adverse weather expected to persist. At least 72 people were reported dead by Spanish authorities on Wednesday after flash floods swept cars through village streets, closed roads and disrupted rail services in parts of eastern and southern Spain. Torrential rain and hailstorms have caused flooding across multiple regions in the worst natural disaster to hit the country in recent decades. www.euronews.com/2024/10/30/several-missing-in-spain-after-heavy-rain-causes-flooding |

There has been so much bad weather in many places. I'm very thankful that it's been very quiet this year here in NW FL. The past 3 weeks have been especially nice with sunny days and temps mostly in the 50's at night and 70's-80' during the day.

Be honest I been watching coverage on Euro news on Roku Spanish PM asks EU for help as country suffers aftermath of catastrophic floods Pedro Sanchez: "I know that we have to do better and that we have to give our all, but I also know that we have to do it together." Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez asked support from the European Union to assist Spain recover from what he called "the most serious flooding that our continent has seen so far this century." "We are in communication with the European Commission and that we have begun the procedures to request aid from the European Solidarity Fund and the use of other community support resources from the European Union," Sánchez said during a news conference in Madrid. The devastating floods so far have claimed the lives of 211 people. Sanchez's government is expected to approve a 'state of catastrophe' on Tuesday, which will allow quick access to financial aid. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/11/02/spanish-pm-asks-eu-for-help-as-country-suffers-aftermath-of-catastrophic-floods |

NOW Indoenia have deal with volcano Indonesia: Rescuers comb debris after deadly eruption Rescue workers on the remote Indonesian island of Flores were searching for survivors on Tuesday, a day after a volcanic eruption covered the island in ash, debris, and thick mud. At least nine people were killed after Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki spewed thick brownish ash as high as 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) into the air, covering nearby villages and towns and forcing residents to flee. Some 61 people have so far been brought to local hospitals, with at least 31 victims in serious condition. www.dw.com/en/indonesia-rescuers-comb-debris-after-deadly-eruption/a-70692414Smoldering debris and mudslides caused by the ash mixing with rain had caused a power blackout and was hampering relief efforts, said Kensius Didimus, a local disaster agency chief. |

Next week world leaders, negotiators, lobbyists and NGOs are due to meet in the Azeri capital Baku for COP29. The UN climate conference has been billed as the “finance COP” as countries are due to set a new global climate finance goal this year. Ahead of COP30 in Brazil next year, they are also expected to submit strong national climate commitments - also known as Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs.

Yeah let show that work out Paris follows major European cities with introduction of car-free zones - and residents don't notice All motorists will now be banned from driving through the centre of Paris as the city launches a traffic-free zone. On an early November morning, Parisians woke up to potentially more traffic-free streets, as a new ban on motorists in the first four arrondissements of central Paris came into effect. Some forty signs had appeared overnight indicating the entrance to a new limited traffic zone, or ‘ZTL’, which was put in place by the city council. Only certain vehicles, such as emergency vehicles, buses, taxis, and people with reduced mobility and motorists residing or working in the area, will be allowed to drive through the ZTL. It covers an area of approximately 5.5 square kilometres where 100,000 people live. www.euronews.com/green/2024/11/08/paris-follows-major-european-cities-with-introduction-of-car-free-zones-and-residents-dont |

OH I been on that site LOL! Here more breaking news on Spain and their floods Tens of thousands protest in Valencia against authorities' response to floods Protesters are calling for the resignation of Valencia's regional leader Carlos Mazón. Tens of thousands of people protested in Valencia on Saturday night against the Spanish authorities' response to last week's deadly flooding. A group of protestors clashed with riot police in front of Valencia's city hall, where the protestors started their march to the seat of the regional government. Police used batons to beat them back. Locals believe the response was mismanaged, with authorities reacting slowly and alerts warning about the dangers of the flood being sent out too late. The protest, organised by social and civic groups, denounced the handling of the disaster and called for the resignation of the president of the regional government Carlos Mazón. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/11/09/thousands-protest-in-valencia-against-spanish-authorities-response-to-flooding |

Of course the country hosting is dicatorship LOL!
When the Azerbaijani government launched a crackdown on reporters in August 2014, investigative journalist and human rights activist Emin Huseynov feared for his freedom and his life.
"When they started first [the] repression against all of us, most of my colleagues [were] jailed," said the now 44-year-old.
A prominent critic of Azerbaijan's authoritarian ruler, Ilham Aliyev, Huseynov had previously been badly beaten by police. When the repression started in 2014, he sought protection in the Swiss Embassy in Baku, the capital of the former Soviet republic bounded by the Caspian Sea and Caucasus Mountains.
Now Huseynov lives in exile. He cannot go back to his homeland for fear of ending up in prison like the dozens of other government critics and environmental activists currently behind bars in Azerbaijan.

Pakstein always been polluted country this is really bad this not even Close LA Smog it is worst Pakistan's Punjab imposes activity bans amid intense smog Pakistan's most-populous province of Punjab has imposed a ban on almost all open-air activities and ordered stores, markets and malls in some areas to close early as high levels of air pollution cause an unprecedented rise in smog-driven illnesses. Schools have also closed in the main cities of the province, of which Lahore is the capital, with all the restrictions to run until November 17. Earlier this month, Lahore, which regularly ranks among the world's most polluted cities, had an air pollution index score of 1,900 in some places, according to Swiss group IQAir. Although the level is now lower, its index score of more than 600 on Monday still means that residents are breathing highly toxic air, with 0-50 considered the target score. www.dw.com/en/pakistans-punjab-imposes-activity-bans-amid-intense-smog/a-70755328 |

MANNN this part of Spain can't catch a break Spain floods: Thousands of people evacuated in Málaga as country braces for new storms Several regions of Spain are under orange or red weather alerts for heavy rain and storms just weeks after deadly flooding killed at least 220 people. Thousands of people in southern Spain have been evacuated from their homes due to a red weather alert for heavy rain and storms, just a fortnight after the nation's worst flooding in decades claimed at least 220 lives and caused widespread devastation. Emergency services in the Málaga region — which includes the tourist resorts of Marbella, Velez and Estepona — have moved around 3,000 people from houses at high risk of flooding located near the Guadalhorce River. The region is expected to be hit hardest this week by the extreme weather phenomenon known locally as DANA. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/11/13/spain-floods-thousands-of-people-evacuated-in-malaga-as-country-braces-for-new-storms |

WOW here Typhoon Usghi Mass evacuations as Typhoon Usagi hits Philippines Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate northeastern areas of the Philippines as Typhoon Usagi made landfall on Thursday, marking the fifth major storm to hit the island nation in less than a month. Government data showed that more than 24,000 people have been evacuated from Cagayan province in the northern Luzon region, about 500 kilometers (310 miles) north of the capital Manilla. Usagi, known locally as Ofel, was packing winds of up to 175 kilometers (109 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 240 kph (149 mph) when it slammed into the coastal town of Baggao in Cagayan province.

Good idea DUH! COP29: Governments, industry must up action on methane A global methane monitoring system has so far alerted governments and companies to over 1200 major plumes of the potent greenhouse gas but has only received responses detailing the cause of the emissions and action taken in 1% of cases, said a new UN report. The Methane Alert Response System (MARS), which detects releases of the gas responsible for about a third of planetary heating so far, uses satellite data to help industry and states identify and deal with large methane emissions. MARS is up and running, said operator United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), which is also using artificial intelligence (AI) to scan satellite data and pinpoint emissions. However, too few emitters are engaging with the new tools, according to the latest An Eye on Methane report. www.dw.com/en/cop29-more-aggressive-action-on-super-pollutant-methane-needed/a-70784383 |

Trust me the smong in India and Pakstein it worst than the 1970s era LA smog WHOA Toxic smog engulfed northern India and Pakistan on Thursday, with pollution at constantly "severe" levels. In India, the smog was so thick it caused flight delays and blocked views of the Taj Mahal, and the Golden Temple, the holiest site in Sikhism, in Amritsar. Lahore, the capital of Pakistan's eastern province of Punjab, was rated the world's most polluted city on Thursday, in live rankings kept by Swiss group IQAir. How is the situation in northern India? In India's capital New Delhi, pollution levels remained in the 'severe' category for a second day according to SAFAR, India's main environmental monitoring agency. On Thursday, New Delhi scored 430 on an index of air quality maintained by the top pollution panel. Anything above 400 is marked "severe." www.dw.com/en/toxic-smog-engulfs-northern-india-pakistan/a-70775038#:~:text=AND%20ENVIRONMENTINDIA-,Toxic%20smog%20engulfs%20northern%20India%2C%20Pakistan,-11/14/2024 |

This is not going end well LOL! COP29: What happened on day six of the UN climate conference? It has been a relatively quiet day and we're wrapping up the blog for now. As activists gathered for actions at COP29, progress on a new climate finance target stalled. UN climate chief Simon Stiell urged leaders at the G20 meeting next week to make sure the climate crisis is "order of business Number One". He also emphasised the importance of the stepping up on climate finance. "Here in Baku negotiators are working around the clock on a new climate finance goal. There is a long way to go, but everyone is very aware of the stakes, at the halfway point in the COP," he said. "Climate finance progress outside of our process is equally crucial, and the G20’s role is mission-critical." www.euronews.com/green/2024/11/16/cop29-biggest-day-of-protests-planned-on-day-six-of-the-un-climate-conference |
