Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.

Another super-hurricane is about to hit the Philippines. I've been doing one hurricane cartoon almost every year and the point of all of them is basically the same. These are from 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2019.
Only one week after #Typhoon #Kalmaegi:
#FungWong (Philippine name #Uwan, Japanese Typhoon Number 26) is located 239 km east of Manila, #Philippines, and has tracked west-northwestward at 30 km/h (16 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 12.8 meters (42 feet).
Fung-wong is forecast to make landfall south of #BalerBay, Philippines over the next 12 hours with a significant weakening of the system structure expected due to topographic interactions.
Fung-wong will then enter the #SouthChinaSea, likely passing north of #SantiagoIsland, Philippines, though some uncertainty remains due the influence of frictional effects of the terrain.

We don't have gas at home but major damage was caused to a gas main yesterday 12 miles away so 3500 properties have been without gas since about 4pm. As someone trying to nudge town council and others to get organised about #EmergencyPlanning and #ExtremeWeather response and general #CommunityResilience it has been interesting to observe what happened. Official response from Northern Gas Networks took about 3 hours and in the meantime plumbers, and people like me were getting lots of calls from older people asking what was going on. When I tried to call the advice number the AI bot on the website directed me to, they had no info and could just confirm gas was off in our area which was something I already knew. When they did arrive in town the gas folk were excellent, set up an HQ at a local hotel and been visiting houses and giving out info and switching gas off if need be. A customer support centre, heaters and now hot food are available from the hotel. The pipe is now repaired and they are beginning to reconnect houses and checking door to door. Many of the older folk we work with grew up on farms with no electricity or running water so they have been absolutely fine and just wrapped up well.. food places and pubs generally stayed open with a limited menu - all pubs and the railway station have real fires and have been offering warmth to anyone who needed it. Several people offered firewood and coal deliveries or hot food or (electric) showers so feels like it's been a bit of a gentle 'trial run' for a local community emergency and a heartwarming reminder that in a crisis - round here at least - people generally want to help each other. https://www.northerngasnetworks.co.uk/incident/settle-hellifield-long-preston/

At the same time, the fossil fuel giants who are responsible for the majority global emissions are about to publish their quarterly profits.
They're about to rake in BILLIONS while ordinary people pick up the pieces for their climate damage.
THIS is what climate injustice looks like.
THIS is what fossil fuel greed looks like.
Take action now to demand that the fossil fuel industry STOP DRILLING and START PAYING for their climate damage by signing our huge people powered petition.

Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening #FlashFlooding and numerous #landslides are likely today (27 October) through Tuesday. Destructive #winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting #power and #communication #outages, and isolated communities. Life-threatening #StormSurge and damaging waves are expected along the southern coast through Tuesday.
Local more than 1000 mm precipitation is possible!!
[Meanwhile... The US Gov is focusing on #FossilsFuels and calling #ClimateChange a hoax...]

#climate#ClimateScience #climatechange#ClimateEmergency#ClimateCrisis#ClimateBreakdown#ClimateDisruption#globalWarming#globalHeating#ExtremeWeather#EcosystemCollapse#GreenhouseGases#polycrisis
According to latest data the AMOC slowdown/shutdown is expected till 2050 with ~59% probability.
I expect that much earlier. 10 years are really optimistic methinks. Let's see, what the effects will look like.
