#ClimateDiary This is incredibly sad.. One of the biggest injustices of #ClimateEmergency is how it hurts animals and plants.
“Experts say a series of storms in October, culminating in #StormBabet, had caused the disappearance – and likely death – of these birds. But their disappearance could be a microcosm of what is happening on other islands – and a warning of what happens to seabirds as extreme weather events become more frequent.” #Birds #Storm

Storms and severe flooding are becoming a regular occurrence in Scotland. And there’s a general agreement that things are only going to get worse in the future. I talked to some of the north-east’s leading political figures about what needs to happen to prepare for climate change. #StormBabet #Aberdeen #LiamKerr #LewisMacdonald #MairiMcAllan #GuyIngerson https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6244096/how-do-we-prepare-severe-weather-events/

Warning of heavy rain to hit areas already battered and flooded by #StormBabet

Hi all, sorry I have not posted recently. Last Friday was a horrific day and I’ve only just felt like normality is coming back.
While attempting to get the kids from school during #StormBabet we got caught in a flash flood and lost our little car. We were rescued by tractor and the kids thankfully collected by a friend until we could reach them the next day.
The incredible kindness of strangers was the one positive thing I will never forget.
"Entire fields have been submerged in water after #StormBabet swept across the #UK, with crops ruined. #ExtremeWeather events are becoming more likely and frequent due to #climate breakdown, and have caused food shortages and price increases.
Last year, farmers faced turmoil because of the extended drought and #ExtremeHeat, which caused crop losses, water shortages and effects on planting and harvesting."

‘Impact of #StormBabet was more severe than it should have been [in Britain] because of the direction the rain travelled.’ According to one government minister. 
@HuffPost
‘Britain doesn’t have ‘quite as much experience’ of rain coming from the east.’

Ah for jayses sake. They have him doing the floods now.
Late summer & early autumn in the rain.
I hope everyone is safe following #stormbabet - we had some heavy rain in Hertfordshire, but nothing like what seems to have been dropped on parts of the Peak District, Eastern England and Eastern Scotland. 
#StormBabet brought a period of very heavy rainfall to many areas of the UK during the end of last week
Some locations recorded well over their average October rainfall in just a few days

Those people who are currently enduring floods in the UK how do you feel about your Prime Minister rowing back on his commitments to Green Energy? Because make no mistake if Rish! continues to try to buy the votes of Tory nimbys and retains power, these freakish floods will not be freakish any more, they will be the norm. #climateemergency #Climate #rain #stormbabet #GlobalWarming
