redleader posted:unrelated to re-katrina, but have there been any death tolls published from the recent european heatwave? Wikipedia says this: quote:The heat was implicated in the deaths of at least 13 people. Five died in France, four in Germany, three in the United Kingdom, two in Spain, and one each in Italy. Nine of these were drownings, attributed to people cooling down, and another involved an exhausted farm worker who went unconscious after diving into a pool. The three who died in hot air were aged 72, 80 and 93. But I also looked at the French version of the article and it quotes a newspaper talking about 15 deaths in France alone. It's a far cry from the 15,000 dead during the 2003 heatwave, either way.

We're both pharmacists. Considering the job market and Walmart helping to flush retail pharmacy away things aren't looking good. But at least I'm not facing the existential threat of constant flooding. Yet. Family is all in Mandeville and they act like they won't be affected by climate change induced migration when Baton Rouge released a report saying the only thing Louisiana can do is retreat from the coast.

Army Corps is moving to put sandbags on top of the levees at the low points, which may work great for all I know but doesn't really inspire confidence.

i didn't realise how much of new orleans is not just below the river, but actually below sea level seems like you'd need some sort of civil engineering for this to work out. perhaps a handful of days dedicated to infrastructure?

redleader posted:i didn't realise how much of new orleans is not just below the river, but actually below sea level it's doable, but with change change, we should probably start winding down cities that won't survive like phoenix, miami, new orleans, and poo poo that's just gunna get totally wrecked in the coming decades and building a robust city with dense housing and transit with little roads more inland in areas with ample supply of freshwater. instead they'll probably do another half-assed grifted corrupt improvement, then it'll get washed out again and lots of people will die, repeat until everyone is gone and now no one has anywhere to live bc every place is in a housing crisis

There was also a major shitstorm in France after 2003, because it happened in August when a lot of people are off on vacation... Including the health minister. He stayed on vacation as the death toll started becoming apparent, didn't recall hospital doctors to handle the emergency (if I said he's a conservative, would you be surprised?). He was let go in a cabinet reshuffle afterwards. So after that, the state did a bunch of work to ensure this wouldn't happen again. This year, the media started warning about the heatwave about a week before it started.

It's mostly because short-sighted greed is more valuable to the rich than planning for anything down the line when they might be dead from gout or affluenza.

The Corps of Engineers actually gave a pretty good update, revising the crest down to 19 feet and saying that the database that showed levees lower than 20 feet was inaccurate, and they made a mistake yesterday in telling the media that that database was up-to-date.
