"The more we build and try to contain the worse it will get. It’s unfortunate but we need to live with the planet rather than develop it." Exactly this, swathes of land are being developed and covered in concrete, rather than allowing natural drainage to occur. I do hope there aren't too many causalities though  | |||

"The news isgut wrenching! The destruction of the planet is heartbreaking! Hope those people can catch some kind of break...somewhere along the line. Can't imagine what they are going through. And thoughts go to those who have poat their lives " I was saying last night that now flooding is happening more often in the west will more urgent action be taken on climate change? | |||

"Are you also following of what is happening there and with the flooding in europe? They are evacuating the whole of liège, about 200000 people, they are advising them that they should leave if they can. I saw some video where they had to carry their belongings over their heads cos of the water was very high. I hope that they can return soon to their homes." terrible I have a work depot there my hopes go out to them keep safe | |||

Now the impact is on our door step....probably... Too little too late...I don't know. Any slow down is better than nothing. | |||

It's not just them though is it.
We holiday abroad...own cars...don't care where our food comes from
We all need to do our bit.
But 'they' need to also!"Very well said. There used to be a Green slogan, 'think local, act global' and that's never been more appropriate. | |||

But 'they' need to also!"In fairness, climate change has been taken a lot more serious at an earlier stage in the EMEA - we are lagging behind. That said, clearly, collectively we are not doing anywhere near enough. | |||

Very well said. There used to be a Green slogan, 'think local, act global' and that's never been more appropriate."Absolutely - I know it sounds daft but I do no longer buy fresh food that has done airmiles. It is a start. We have replaced some of the daily meat/ fish by more vegan/ vegetarian options. When we occasionally have meat, the portions are smaller. It is possible - and not that difficult. | |||

"Truly awful. But similar natural disasters have been happening in developing nations for years and people tend not to feel as much sympathy for them. When it's a closer neighbour or perhaps, people who look/seem more like us, then empathy levels are higher." Unfortunately there is truth in this. | |||

"It's very scary. The poor people who live there "Yes it is and there seem to be a dam in köln that could burst as well, lets hope not, there are several of these that are above land level. | |||

"Oh that's bad really bad,best wishes to our European friends and hope that everything is going to be okay. My thoughts are for all those families who have lost loved ones already and who have lost their homes." Yes and same here, my thoughts are with them as well | |||
"How many of us will give up our 'luxuries' for the sake of the planet " Now this is the Q!! How many will do what is right for the planet, right for the environment... Rather than what's right for them.. I reckon less than 10% of the population  | |||
