Flooding claims lives in Spain after record rainfall – BBC News



Heavy rain has caused major flooding across Spain with Madrid, Toledo and Cรกdiz regions especially badly affected.

A number of people have lost their lives after become trapped in flood waters.

Residents in Madrid have been asked to stay at home due to “the exceptional and abnormal” rainfall, the cityโ€™s mayor said.

The record amounts of rainfall were due to a slow-moving storm.

The rains have caused mudslides on many roads and train services have been suspended in affected areas.

The extreme rain follows a scorching summer in Spain and much of southern Europe. Climate scientists are warning that extreme weather events are becoming far more common due to global warming.

As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?

The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.

We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.

It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of usโ€”whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emitโ€”because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.

No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.

If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.

In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each otherโ€”from negative to positive.

Whilst the news reports on the urgent need to fight climate change they are then hitting you with a hearts and mind story to keep up the support for a war in UKraine. What is the carbon footprint of said war and previous wars?

Here's further proof that the BBC only employ ignorant, illiterate THICKOS! On their news site today, some twerp called James Harness, an editor (yes, "editor"!) starts his piece with "Ready for a some more science behind the weather?" Seriously! Does NOBODY there check anyone else's work?! Anyway, it's official. JAMES HARNESS IS AS THICK AS A BUCKET OF S**T !!!

A significant percentage of us (perhaps as many as 30%) can stop burning fossil fuels. We can bike, walk, and use public transportation to get to work and back. Many of us can even relocate to walkable communities. We can install solar panels on our homes. We can stop buying "Made in China" and shop local.

Large oil and coal corporations only have about 10% profit margins. If those of us who can – DO, we can cripple the corporations that are killing the planet. Your dollar is your vote. Your dollar has the power.

Our politicians are bought and sold by big oil, steel, and coal. Climate change must be stopped. If you are middle class and healthy, you must change your way of life to save the planet.

"If it's going to be, it's up to me" – pass it on!

We are controlled by laws of nature.

There is a general force of nature, and two opposite forcesโ€”bestowal and receptionโ€”extend from it.

We exist between these forces, and both of these qualities affect us.

Then, the question arises: How do we develop under the influence of these forces? Where do we act? Where are we free? How do we accumulate and correlate these two forces within ourselves? How can we build ourselves out of them?

These are the questions that the wisdom of Kabbalah engages in: how we receive these two forces in an optimal balance, and with their help, shape ourselves so as to resemble the very laws of nature, to arise and reach equivalence of form with the force of bestowal in nature. These very laws gave us the opportunity to control the pace of our progress in accepting them upon ourselves.

That is the point of our freewill.

How could we act if we do not have freewill? Who would we be? Would we just be like robots, always under control?

Until now, we have always been under control. What does it mean?

Nature as if injects a drop of egoismโ€“the desire to enjoy at othersโ€™ expenseโ€“into us, and then it does so a little more, and a little more again, and we then get the impetus to move toward all kinds of egoistic goals. The more our egoism inflates, the more we become willing to move to increasingly gain at the expense of others. Nature constantly squeezes the syringe into us until it eventually infuses us with the full amount of egoism.

Our era is characterized by the syringe of egoism having become completely injected into us, with no more egoism left to inject. That is why we have nowhere left to run.

Where do we head from here? What do we do?

Moreover, egoism has become global and integral. In the beginning, we felt good because we reached egoistic global connections in the world and thought that everything would be fine. However, when such connections started depending on everyone, we turned out to be natureโ€™s opposite.

At this juncture, we find ourselves with a major dilemma, and we need to work out what we do about it. Where our fully-inflated egoism coupled with our tightening global connections brings us to increasing problems around the world, today we require a new form of connection-enriching education that would have the ability to guide us on how to change our egoistic connections to altruistic ones. That is the key to a shift to a harmonious and peaceful world.

It has been said that the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. In this case, I don't know if that's correct.

As a Jehovah's Witness, I [firmly] believe that we are living in a pivotal period, nearing the end of this system of things. The signs and events unfolding in the world align with what Jesus foretold in Matthew 24 and other biblical prophecies. Natural disasters, conflicts, and moral decay seem to be increasing, mirroring the Bible's description of the [last days]. While these developments can be unsettling, they also strengthen my faith in God's Word and His promises. I see them as reminders to remain steadfast in my faith, to prioritize spiritual values, and to share the good news of God's Kingdom with others. Despite the challenges, I find [hope] in the belief that God's Kingdom will soon bring lasting peace, justice, and harmony to our troubled world, fulfilling His purpose for humanity. In these times, my faith serves as an anchor, guiding me toward the path of spiritual preparedness and a profound sense of anticipation for the fulfillment of God's divine plan.

Are you ready for God's Kingdom to arrive on earth under the rulership of Jehovah's Son Christ Jesus and his 144,000 kings who will rule over earth? ๐ŸŒŽ Re. 5:10

No churches were flooded or clergymen drowned. This is because God did this. The rain is his tears. All the sinners and fornicators need to know God can see everything they do and his rath will be upon them in this and the next life. Eternal Purgatory awaits them. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

When it was hot, forest fires started all over the world, now there are floods all over the world and apparently they have learned to control nature, that is, climate weapons are in force, it looks like there will be no end to these floods

Spain regularly has extreme rainfall at the end of summer and Spain regularly sees temperatures of 40C during summer. In fact almost every summer 40C is experienced in Spain. So more BBC climate misinformation and scaremongering which can be ignored as garbage reporting.
