Climate anxiety in the rise.
Germany is in shock, days of heavy rain caused several rivers to burst their banks, flooding entire towns and villages. More than 160 people lost their lives and the survivors are battling to clean up in the wake of the disaster and also in shock because this summer and they are supposed to be enjoying endless days of sun and cool weathers.
Several European countries have been hit by extreme weather, and many lives have been lost. Regions in western Germany have been most severely affected for example in Rhineland-Palatinate, the south of North Rhine-Westphalia, and parts of Bavaria, the floodwaters destroyed highways, houses and whole communities. The floods have receded, leaving behind thick mud and tons of rubble but many of those affected have criticized the emergency response as chaotic. In contrast, communities came together in solidarity, many people travelled long distances to offer help and reports on how residents and volunteer helpers are dealing with the aftermath of the flooding.
This may come as shock but part of the reason is due to high pressures in the Alps mountains and the anxiety is slowly building up in people and soon the pressure will be much for people to handle.
