I do not think that mud and silt would stop agricultural production. Silt is usually good for agriculture, think Nile Delta. I think it is the garbage and oil spills which would harm the farming.

The severe flooding in #Spain, #Greece, #Türkiye, #Bulgaria and #Libya was caused by very heavy rainfall.
We state that the return time for:

Spain is a 1-in-10 to 1-in-40 year event

Greece a 1-in-80 to 1-in-250 year event

GBT region a 1-in-5 to 1-in-10 year event

A flooded playground in Spain



During the first two weeks of September 2023 torrential rain fell in several countries across the Mediterranean, caused by low-pressure systems forming around a blocking high centred over the Netherlands.

On the 3rd of September torrential rain fell within a few hours in Spain, followed by very heavy rain and floods caused by the low-pressure system “Daniel” in Greece and Bulgaria between the 4th and the 7th of September, and devastating floods in Libya after very extreme rainfall during the 10th.

All three individual rainfall events caused severe flooding, submerging settlements, leaving thousands homeless and killing at least four people in Bulgaria, six in Spain, seven in Türkiye, and 17 in Greece. Further, 3,958 casualties have been confirmed in the Libyan city of Derna alone, and an additional 170 fatalities elsewhere in the country, while more than 10,000 people are still missing after two major dams broke.

Researchers from Greece, the United States of America, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom collaborated to assess to what extent human-induced climate change altered the likelihood and intensity of the heavy rainfall that led to the flooding.
Figure 1: 500 hPa geopotential height from September 1st-12th 2023, with daily accumulated precipitation overlaid (ERA5 analysis). Contours and red to blue colours show 500 hPa geopotential height at intervals of 4 decameters that indicate the blocking centred over the Netherlands (red) around which the low pressure systems (blue) developed. Red boxes indicate regions where heavy precipitation (purple) and severe impacts were reported: central and southern Spain on September 3rd; Greece, Bulgaria and Türkiye from the 4th-7th; and Libya on the 10th. We estimate the return times for all three events indicated in the red boxes and provide attribution statements for the two later events associated with storm Daniel.

Kolumbo is the submarine volcano near Santorini, Greece. Its eruption in the 17th century BC, and the tsunami that followed, destroyed the Minoan civilization in Crete and the eastern Mediteranean.

Now its chamber appears to pose a serious hazard as it could produce a highly explosive, tsunamigenic eruption in the near future.

In #Greece the storm #Daniel caused massive havoc with 750l Rain/Sq. meter in 18h.
Yet only 15people died. In #Libya the same #storm likely #killed over 10.000 people with only 414l. Of course #geographical, #political and #social circumstances are in part responsible, but a good #infrastructure to #warn people beforehand is likely the largest contributor. This is underlined by the heavy rain in #Germany in 2021 that killed 188 people with 90l/sqm.
To be prepared for the massive #natural #disasters that are heading out way due to the climate #crisis tools like #CellBroadcast and #Sirens are absolutely necessary to save lives.
Additionally we should strive to reduce #Co2 and save the #climate at any cost. It will still be cheaper than the alternative if we don't.

I wrote about our plans for a #summer #vacation to #Greece without airtravel a while ago. I'd said I wanted to put my money and effort where my mouth is.

Now I wanted to add a follow-up, but the original post is already gone. My fault for setting auto-deletion to 3 months.

Two adults and two children travelled from #Vienna 🇦🇹 to #Corfu 🇬🇷 and back via #Italy 🇮🇹 , with some sightseeing in #Ancona, Corfu Town, #Brindisi, and #Rome without using any cars or airplanes. I had bought additional travel insurance for missed connections, but we didn't need that.

Itinerary: Tram, #Nightjet sleeper, bus, #ferry, bus, bus, (hotel stay with occasional outings by bus), bus, bus, ferry, shuttle bus, bus, (hotel), #Frecciargento train, (hotel, metro and bus for #sightseeing), #Frecciarossa train, Nightjet sleeper, metro. (Busses means regular public transit busses on numbered lines that the locals also take.)

Every single vehicle everywhere had working air condition. They were clean and on time, and all the longer trips had tasty food. There's power outlets everywhere. The Frecciarossa (red arrow) between Rome and #Bologna only got to 250 km/h, not the 300 we were hoping to see, but that was the only slightest disappointment.

The ferries are not at all climate-friendly. I have not found a number for how much #CO² for a crossing, but they are similar to cruise ships. The trips are far shorter than cruises of course, but we see and smell the black smoke from the stacks. It's wrong to feel smug about taking a ferry instead of an airplane. All the busses had #combustion engines. All the trains/metros/trams were #electric, so that depends on the grid. The Austrian ÖBB prides itself on using only "green" #electricity.

We enjoyed the trip very much. I am unsure about any future travel. I would totally do this again in terms of comfort and experiences. But my goals for how much I hope to not pollute and damage the world for my pleasure have changed. I have no answers right now.

Yesterday's photo was very recent, but today's is very old.
This one was taken in 1973, on Crete, with my very first SLR camera. It was before the days of digital cameras, or mobile phones, or even home computers, and I had only just taken my first plane flight.
Being able to post photos I took 50 years ago sometimes makes me feel quite old, but at other times the past feels like, well, just yesterday...
