De Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid (OVV) concludeert dat we niet bestand zijn tegen extreme regenval als gevolg van klimaatverandering. Nu niet en in de toekomst ook niet. Er is een ontstellend gebrek aan urgentie. Volgens mij is het wachten op een klimaatramp.

Extreme regen vraagt om meer bewustzijn en maatregelen tegen onveiligheid
Nederland moet zich beter voorbereiden op de onveiligheid die ontstaat door extreme regen. Door klimaatverandering valt er vaker, meer en langduriger regen.

Trump:
"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."
Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Don’t forget, Trump’s response to PM Mark Carney’s historic Davos speech was to threaten Canada.
“I watch your Prime Minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”
“I watch your Prime Minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. They should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”
Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.
Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.
Key line: “Middle powers must work together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

Een krachtiger pleidooi voor hernieuwbare, groene energie, is nauwelijks denkbaar.

Trump loog tijdens zijn toespraak in Davos de wereld voor windmolens.
De reden waarom hij dat deed is simpel: hij kan de bron van deze energie niet controleren en manipuleren, maar van fossiele brandstoffen wel.
Het gaat om macht, en over landen met hernieuwbare energie, heeft de VS minder macht. /2

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
