India:

Hyderabad city’s storm water drain infrastructure is so poor that pre monsoon rains for an hour or so led to flooding of the streets.

Nala encroachments, lake grabbing, no proper desilting caused the flooding.

Why are we seeing flooding all over the world now?

Boil some soup.
Pour into a bowl.
Wrap bowl in Saran.
Watch condensation form, & drip down.
Welcome to our CO2-filled atmosphere.

Kids, there is nothing on this earth more important than doing everything possible to get the governments around the world to take action on climate change. I’m old and I’ll be dead before too long. But this is going to change everything for the worse in the world you are going to be living in. This is literally an existential threat to life on earth.
