#ClimateDiary This is incredibly sad.. One of the biggest injustices of #ClimateEmergency is how it hurts animals and plants.

“Experts say a series of storms in October, culminating in #StormBabet, had caused the disappearance – and likely death – of these birds. But their disappearance could be a microcosm of what is happening on other islands – and a warning of what happens to seabirds as extreme weather events become more frequent.” #Birds #Storm

Hadn't really been anywhere to take pics for a while... but took a break away the other week, so I'll be posting a few more soon.
In the meantime, here's a wave from Storm Babet, at Aberdeen harbour in Scotland.

#兩邊走走｜編輯推介｜💨🌬️ 英國風季剛開始接連受吹襲，風暴或陸續有來｜胡思為我們解說

英格蘭南部月初受Storm Ciaran吹襲，達到時速80-90英里的強風，在沿岸地區出現，不少樹木和電線桿受到破壞，Cornwall地區一度有超過一萬戶失去電力供應，亦引起廣泛地區交通受阻，Great Western Railway取消到當地的火車服務，英格蘭南部有數百間學校要停課。

風暴過後，南部Surrey有12,000多戶，周末食水供應一度暫停，Guildford、Godalming受影響最嚴重。政府官員表示，在應付之前Storm Babet有不足地方，強調防洪設施運作良好。

香港天文台前高級科學主任胡宏俊指，英國風季由九月開始，至今已有三個具名風暴吹襲英國，估計在冬季期間將會再有風暴出現。

Storms and severe flooding are becoming a regular occurrence in Scotland. And there’s a general agreement that things are only going to get worse in the future. I talked to some of the north-east’s leading political figures about what needs to happen to prepare for climate change. #StormBabet #Aberdeen #LiamKerr #LewisMacdonald #MairiMcAllan #GuyIngerson https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6244096/how-do-we-prepare-severe-weather-events/
How can Scotland prepare for severe weather events like Storm Babet in the future?

Recent storms have devastated parts of the north-east and left destruction in their wake, so how should we plan for a new reality?

Storm Babet: 'Risk to life' Flooding Issued for Parts of England and Scotland

Following Storm Babet's devastating impact, the Environment Agency has warned that flooding from major rivers may persist longer. The storm, which has cast a dark shadow over the UK since its arrival on Wednesday, has now been deemed a "risk to life", intensifying concerns for public safety. The storm has already claimed the lives of more than three people, underscoring the severity of its consequences. In Aberdeenshire, an urgent search operation is underway in response to a distressing report of a man trapped inside a vehicle engulfed by floodwaters.
