Emilia Romagna remains on its knees after flooding

Emilia Romagna remains on its knees after flooding

Over 3,000 people evacuated from homes

Much of Emilia Romagna remained on its knees on Monday, with many areas still under water, after the deadly floods that caused widespread devastation at the weekend.
    At least 3,000 people remain displaced after being evacuated from their homes, the damage is huge and a 20-year-old young man lost his life in Pianoro when his car was swept away by the flood waters.
    It is the fourth wave of devastating floods caused by extreme weather to hit Emilia Romagna in less than a year and a half, including the May 2023 ones that left 17 people dead and caused billions of euros of damage.
    There has also been flooding in other parts of Italy especially the provinces of Mantua and Cremona in Lombardy, where the River Po is under observation, and Sicily and Calabria, where landslides and fallen trees blocked the SS 280 highway and the town of Maida was cut off after a river burst its banks.
    Scientists say the climate crisis caused by human greenhouse gas emissions is making extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, supercharged storms and flooding more frequent and more intense.
    Although there are many sources of the greenhouse gases that are causing global heating, the main driver is the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal, sales of which generate huge profits for the world's energy giants.
