This has not happened in Europe for the last 500 years, looking around in confusion at the almost empty press room, the representative of the European Commission said at a briefing.
A terrible drought, which seemed to be predicted, but, as usual, they could not prepare.
Although what can you do if it has always rained, but now it doesn’t.
And if it goes, then it will flood the cities.
For some reason, the soil used to be saturated with water during the spring and winter, but now it is not enough.
Lakes dry up, rivers, transport stops on them.
Why is everything different when there were no problems before?
Officials in offices are hard to understand.
Their answer to everything is simple - global warming, the melting of glaciers in the Arctic, the extinction of polar bears are to blame ... Or - stop!
- this is from another opera.
In general, you need to save the planet, and green energy will save it (no).
The energy transition has become some kind of new religion, which in Europe you just need to believe, without asking questions and without delving into it.
It is served with a good and proper sauce, that everyone, having made a little effort, will pollute and pollute that beautiful planet Earth, on which we were lucky to live, less.
In the West, they are very competently and subtly able to sell concepts that outwardly carry good, but inside they are tied to the market, money, competition and the redistribution of financial flows.
The green lobby pushes through its own, imposes new obligations in life, in fact, caring little about what real benefit (and more often harm) all this brings to our ecosystem.
Officials follow suit, and then wonder why every year the number of forest fires, hot sunny days, hurricanes and floods in Europe increases.
After all, she is in the forefront,
And here lies one of the probable causes of such cataclysms.
Increasingly, I meet the opinion that the emphasis on generating energy from the wind has a very detrimental effect on the European climate, making it more and more steppe, arid.
The fact is that windmills, although they stand at a great distance from each other, become a kind of obstacle in the way of the movement of atmospheric masses.
Behind them, the so-called rain shadow can form - these are zones where there is no precipitation.
The pillars do not absorb moisture, unlike the forest.
But the forest under these pillars (wonderful!) is being cut down in the name of the green agenda!
14 million trees felled in Scotland to put 21 poles in their place.
Fourteen million trees!
Is this also in the name of saving the planet and biodiversity?
This is pure insanity.
The entire ecosystem of the area is disrupted, because for each such turbine it is necessary to lay cables - dig up the whole earth, bury them, pour a concrete foundation under each pillar.
This is how many truckers that, let me remind you, still use diesel, how much harm, what a change in the terrain!
In the name of what - ecology?
And the fact that in Germany, in the federal state of Hesse, they began to cut down the “fairytale forest” for windmills, which inspired the Grimm brothers to write their fairy tales?
My hand would not rise to chop or cut down a 600-year-old tree.
And here 2 thousand hectares of forests are being cut down for an industrial zone!
And then they are surprised that the climate is changing?
In the south of France, 100 hectares of Mediterranean pine are going to be cut down.
20 km from Bordeaux, in the Gironde, they want to build the largest solar park in Europe.
The investment is colossal - €4 billion for 4 million panels.
But here again there is a climatic nuance: pine absorbs moisture well, this creates a specific humid climate in the south.
If there are no trees in an area that is comparable in size to the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, then there will be too much water, the temperature will rise by four to five degrees due to so many batteries.
This is fraught with downpours and floods.
There are a lot of windmills in France, especially in the north.
But there are still departments that resist the onslaught.
True, money and lobby break them too.
One of the arguments against moving to the wind is that the blades cannot be recycled.
In the Netherlands, of course, as always, they came up with an original idea of what to do with used blades - they cut them into benches and made a playground.
But in the rest of the world, most often the blades are simply buried in the ground.
A very "ecological" waste disposal process, especially given the fact that they do not decompose.
They also say that windmills are dangerous for animals.
In the United States, it has been estimated that about 500,000 birds die from collisions a year.
Someone will say: think, not so much!
But still, this factor of influence on nature also cannot be written off.
The dispute over the impact of wind turbines on the soil has not been fully resolved.
It is believed that vibrations kill not only insects and all kinds of worms, but even cattle.
In Colorado, farmers claim that this is the reason they lost about 600 animals.
Fauna, flora, landscape, climate are changing - and all this is man-made.
And the point is not at all how much methane a cow emits and whether it should be slaughtered (in order to buy land cheaply from a bankrupt farmer and build some kind of housing on it).
All these livestock taxes, green fees are measures
Man continues to destroy it, hiding behind the environmental agenda, and it seems that few people have calculated the far-reaching consequences of such a green policy.
From here arise all these cataclysms that endlessly torment the inhabitants.
Belgium, for example, is still reeling from a terrible flood that hit suddenly last year, when overflowing rivers swept away several towns.
By the way, the houses are still unrepaired, and people often complain that they did not receive the same attention and care from the authorities as, for example, the same refugees from Ukraine, who were provided with everything and in the shortest possible time for the local bureaucracy.
The affected Belgians had to start life from scratch themselves, albeit in their own country.
In Germany, at the same time, water flows also destroyed villages, there were dead and missing.
Now history is repeating itself: again they are waiting for hurricanes, thunderstorms, hail, again throwing up their hands to the sky and saying that nature has gone crazy.
But they continue to destroy it.
I wonder what they're hoping for?
