Extended heat and low rainfall across Europe are causing major rivers to dry up. This is having serious consequences for wildlife, the economy and the people living near the Rhine, Po, Thames and other affected rivers.
Europe’s great rivers are important economic routes and ecosystems, as well as emblems of the cities through which they pass. Now, countries all across the continent are struggling once more with high temperatures and prolonged drought — and, as a result, the rivers are running low or are simply too hot. People associate the Loire with France’s picturesque river landscapes and fairy-tale castles — but its banks are also home to the Belleville nuclear power plant. This is no coincidence: Nuclear power plants are always situated near water because they need it for cooling. The Belleville plant discharges the water that it has used as coolant into the Loire, and refills its cooling towers with fresh water from the river. To protect the flora and fauna in and around the river, strict rules govern the degree to which power plants are allowed to raise the temperature of the river water. Once the maximum permitted temperature is reached, the nuclear power plants have to reduce their output — meaning they produce less electricity. To top it off, this is occurring in a hot summer when the French are likely to have their fans and air conditioners on at full blast and Russia has stopped supplying France with gas via pipelines.

it's only when the rivers that feed their factories dry up that the rich will finally address the problem of man made global warming

These are the sanctions of the Lord God against you.

Scientists discovered that an ant exposed to heat during an activity with other ants behaves as if it does not feel it. It continues with all the other ants as if it feels nothing, and changes course only when all the ants do so. The same is true of many flocks of birds, such as starlings, and of many schools of fish. They do not follow each other, but move as if they were all one organism consisting of innumerable specimens. I do not know if they do this by releasing hormones or by something else, but the result is that they are completely in sync with one another.
Humans cannot feel this way. We are denied the ability to merge completely into society; we always feel our individuality. Moreover, we give priority to our individuality over society, so we cannot connect with the collective mind that starlings and schools of fish work with.
Since we are unable to sense the collective mind, we are denied the understanding and perception of the collective reality. It is as if we live in a world where we cannot see beyond our own noses. At the same time, precisely because we are not born with a collective perception, we will gain infinitely more by developing it than by being born with it. We will gain not only the collective mind, but also the thought behind its development, the difference between having it and not having it, and the way to help others gain that consciousness, as well.
When we see that such a state of collective consciousness exists, we want to attain it. It motivates us to value it more than our innate self-centeredness. As our motivation grows, we understand that we can reach that state only if we prefer it to our selfishness.
Once we are in that state, we discover a completely new kind of pleasure, the ultimate pleasure. In this kind of pleasure, we strive to feel not ourselves, but our collective existence, our oneness. It is not suspension of the self, but an addition of a new self that consists of and belongs to every being in reality. Our original self continues to exist, and a new one is added.
Once we acquire that collective consciousness, we understand the true meaning of love and why everyone longs for it. In this love, we feel our separate selves, and at the same time feel everyone’s efforts to rise above their selves and unite with others in love.
In fact, in that state, the purpose of the ego changes and its new role is to distinguish between a state of hatred and separation and a state of love and connection. The greater one’s ego, the greater the joy of love because a greater ego requires a greater love to overcome it.
At the end of the process, a person feels the absolute selfishness of the ego, and at the same time feels the absolute love that exists in the collective consciousness. What fish and birds feel instinctively, we can feel only once we develop love for every iota of Creation.
This ultimate love brings with it the ultimate pleasure. The ultimate love that we all long to feel is not to be loved absolutely, but to feel absolute love for others. When we experience it, we find that everything is absolute love.
Is it Loire or Lorie?? 🤣😭🤣😭🤣🤣🖕😇
Macron should take care of his own environment. He has a lot to do…
No one is denying climate change . The climate is always changing . What we question is the claim that man is the driver of it . The science is NOT settled ! Thrre are many scientists questioning the claims of the IPCC , backed up by historical and scientific data .
Welcome to the New California!
Thankfully most of the developed world is aiming for a 2050 carbon neutral world. Sadly that target is 50 yrs too late. Climate change is here, it is real and its too late.
its all because of women, who only have more and more children… and with it destruction of the planet, and probably end with in 40 years.
The MOSTHIGH YAHSUA is about to land is the wicked ready for judgement
we need to keep rain water 🙂
Wakeup people
A diminishing molecular Oxygen atmosphere is allowing more UV energy to reach the Earth's surface where it becomes light and then heat.
Extremely drastic change, la Loire is a beautiful place, sad the rivers are so low and drought is so severe
Scientists have been ringing the alarm for decades!! ENJOY !!
WW3 Soon Soon!
Operation Mad Max begins
Say to them: “Did you even consider: if all the water that you have (in the wells) were to sink down into the depths of the earth, who will produce for you clear, flowing water?” [67:30; Quran]
they should dig deeper.
wide and shallow promotes evaporation.
make it narrow and deep, it will cool it down and save water.
it s just incredible to see.
but clearly, it will go totally dry one day if they do nothing.
We don't have to go to mars the earth is looking more like it everyday soon we'll get the full experience
In Israel ,your freedom of speech is restricted. My device has been compromised and my comments are being segregated/erased/edited.
Cloud seeding will fix that been doing in Australia witch caused all the bad floods this year
DW, please do a story or long-form documentary to talk about what nobody seems willing to talk about with regard to climate change and other environmental degradation:
Population control. It's not popular to say so, but it needs to be said if we are to save ourselves as a species and the planet.
Every person born is a consumer of resources and a generator of waste.
Every human being needs food, water, and a place to live. But the earth isn't getting any bigger. Water will be redirected for various uses, creating even bigger environmental problems. Land will be degraded for housing or to grow enough food (if there's even water left to grow it).
We need to Stop making so many babies for a good, long while. We need to find creative ways to support aging populations besides increasing birth rate, which is helping to destroy this planet.
Anyone who doesn't see this problem is in deep denial.
It took all of human history until 1804 to reach a population of 1 billion.
The next billion took about 133 years. The next, 33 years. Billions thereafter have come on average every 12 to 14 years. It is NOT sustainable.
Nearly as bad as events of the past.
Mad max will become real life water will be gold
These droughts seems like movies 🎬 🎞 when people leave earth and go to space or so-called big satellites ,where women can't get pregnant anymore 🤔
You have been told that crossing Russia's red lines will lead to previously unseen consequences. This is just a begining.
Evidence that criminal climate deniers have been in charge and ruined the earth for the rest of us. now and evermore.
Wadi ar-Loara
Often heard it said, "One day we won't be fighting over oil, we will be fighting over water rights". This is rain in a different sense.
i will blame Russia for it too!
Good time to inspect the bridges.
Is it just me or is every nation suffering from low water?
The inevitable result of a vastly overpopulated planet that nature can no longer provide for.
Wrath of looted country
The europian said that drought and rain do not happen to us,but God is always listening allah is one الله اكبر
There is way out. And it is in building creative society. 🙂
Explain how poles melting, no rising sea levels, and rivers globally running dry. Climate change is BS.
Don't worry. It'll rain again soon. Trust me, Australia goes through this regularly.
That's one commodity the French can't steal from its former colonies. Isn't nature glorious??
Man made weather used by HAARP! Nothing wrong with the ivrmnt nothing at all! They r drying out the land and blaming this bull on cimte chang lol!
lol
Quite tragic
