kingdragonfly: Telegraph‘If you can see me, weep’: Drought-hit German/Czech River Elbe reveals ‘hunger stones’ from 1616

Severe drought has caused water levels of the river Elbe to drop, exposing centuries-old “hunger stones”.

One stone now visible in Decin, where the Elbe flows from the Czech Republic into Germany, is carved with a warning from 1616 that reads: “If you see me, weep.”

The stones, embedded into the banks to mark water levels during famines, have been exposed as drought continues to afflict Europe.
...

These remind me of the Tsunami stones in Japan, some of which were erected at the time of the Jōgan earthquake in 869.

"Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point."

Hoefully all governments will stop finger pointing like fox news if it's mentioned at all and claiming it's someone else's problem and get on with it. It cannot wait.

Yep.

The common theme is why would NZ bother when there is only 5 million of us? A Kiwi and an American, a Chinese and a Moroccan are all part of the 8 billion that can make a difference. But some of us seem exempt....

China is arguably doing more than any other country.

They moved over 300 million people to renewable energy in 12 years. That's like the entire United States becoming 100% renewables in just 12 years.

Half the EVs sold on the planet each year are sold in China. China has over 810,000 public EV chargers.

But China's population is HUGE ....so the massive efforts already made seem small compared to work left to be done, despite the efforts made already utterly dwarfing all others.

I agree. My wife is Chinese so Im not oblivious. They are building a 100% green city (or town). But they burn coal like there is no tomorrow. The issues they have now  need to be sorted. As they are extremely loyalty biased, they may hopefully take ownership as they do with their No.1 super economy goal.

Yes, we have a tiny little problem. We have miscalculated the falling groundwater and river water levels and the flooding caused by the melting of the polar ice caps. I currently live in northern Germany in 11m AMSL and if all "goes well", I will have a sea beach in front of my balcony in my birthplace in southwest Germany (currently still in 322m AMSL) in the foreseeable future. ;-)

remark: not really as the level would „only“ increase by 65m, not 311m

Here is how Europe will look in the future. Oups, no Danmark, no Netherlands, and the halves of Belgium and Germany are missing? And there is an island called St. Petersburg Island? And all the fuss about Crimea these days - where is it? Venice?

I bought an ebike and it has cut down my car use for 80% of the trips.

Hopefully it works now

Found a better one.

Hell, what‘s wrong nowadays? Re-try.

It should work now.
