Grim situation in Chiva, west of Valencia tonight, where 430mm of rain have fallen today, with a scarcely believable 340mm of that falling in 4 hours!

NEW 🚨: The call to prosecute companies like @Shell @Equinor and @BP for their role in driving the climate crisis is getting stronger.
These companies have been fuelling climate breakdown for decades and are STILL hell-bent on drilling for more oil and gas. They must be stopped.
ALT Screenshot of a Guardian article titled " New York officials call for big oil to be prosecuted for fueling climate disasters" The image description reads "An ExxonMobil refinery near Joliet, Illinois. In 1982, an official at the oil major issued an internal report that found the global heating tied to fossil fuel emissions could ‘cause flooding on much of the US east coast’.

BREAKING: mass extinction media journalists stay silent on how the doom-growth economy is rapidly annihilating 32-70% of species this century.
