Climate-Karma is a bitch
In Venedig hat ein Verwaltungsrat gegen Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels abgestimmt und wenige Stunden später wurde das Gebäude überflutet. Karma is a bitch.
Andrea Zanoni, a council member and chair of the environment committee, posted photos of the flooded chambers on Wednesday night. It’s the first time the council chambers have ever flooded. The building sits right on Venice’s Grand Canal, and its flood protections appear to have failed.
But the timing couldn’t be more absurd. Zanoni noted in his Facebook post that councilors had been voting on amendments to the region’s 2020 budget prior to the flood. He said the “budget does not contain any concrete action to counteract climate change,” and all amendments put forward to address climate change like boosting renewable energy, replacing diesel buses, and improving efficiency were rejected.
