We are witnessing climate catastrophe in real time.
Hundreds Are Dead After Flash Floods in Spain. Experts Have Already Concluded Climate Change Is to Blame.

Torrential rainfall in Spain led to deadly flash floods this week, claiming at least 205 lives and leaving dozens missing. Descriptions of the destruction are heartbreaking; a courthouse transformed into a temporary morgue, a retirement home devastated, and collapsed roads keeping rescue services from those still trapped and suffering. The Spanish government has declared three days of mourning in response to this tragedy.
Experts have already indicated that climate change significantly contributed to the severity of this disaster, citing that rainfall was made 12% heavier and twice as likely due to global warming. As extreme weather events worsen globally, we must hold our governments accountable for meaningful climate action.
The European Commission has recommended a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040, a vital step toward combating climate catastrophe. However, this proposal requires the approval and action of the European Parliament and EU countries. We need to urge them to commit to these aggressive emissions cuts to prevent further tragedies like the floods in Spain. Sign the petition today to demand urgent climate action in the EU!
Thank you,
