So, will this actually undergo the ratification process in the U.S. Senate?
Global Warming PING!

Germany has made a big deal about how global warming is the reason behind the region's catastrophic floods.
According to NBC News:
"The German language hardly knows any words for the devastation that has been caused here," [Chancellor Angela Merkel] said.
She said the force of the storms suggested that they had "something to do with climate change," adding, "We have to hurry, we have to get faster in the fight against climate change."
She also palled it up with Joe Biden on climate change just a few days ago:
While in the United States, the chancellor and President Biden signed a pact that included a commitment to "taking urgent action to address the climate crisis," which is to include stronger collaboration "on the policies and energy technologies needed to accelerate the global net-zero transition."
Others have been even more aggressive, such as Merkel's leftist finance minister, who seeks to replace her in the upcoming September German election:
"I am firmly convinced that our task is stopping human-made climate change," Mr. Scholz told ZDF public television. He praised his party's role in passing some of Germany's first climate laws when the Social Democrats governed with the Greens from 1998 to 2005, but called for a stronger effort to move toward a carbon-neutral economy.
"What we still have to do now is get all those who have resisted right up to the end that we raise the expansion targets for renewable energies in such a way that it also works out with a CO2-neutral industry to give up this resistance," he said.
Hey, that'll get the floods to stop. Nothing like remodeling the world on the greenie and failed socialist models and giving government all the power. Just ask Cubans how those things work out.

Yes, because floods never happened before 1920...
And this is where we are. ANY bad weather event, is to be blamed on climate change.
So our problem is that we haven’t bought enough carbon credits? What the heck is she saying?
Germany has had worse floods in the recent past (Last 100 years). In fact, the USA and Europe has had horrible flooding in the past. Dams, levees and drainage systems have helped quite a bit.
RE: Germany has had worse floods in the recent past (Last 100 years).
So, you’re saying Angela Merkel is right? If so, what is the solution?
Interesting to find out they had a flood warning system. So that would mean they have had floods before?? Like...duh..
A world protected by windmills? In 1717 Christmas Floods in Germany killed 14,000
The early warning system would have prevented the floods?
Solid American Thinker reasoning right there.
You can pretend to fight the climate, but it will change no matter what you do, it’s been changing since the beginning of time.
The next Ice Age is coming.
All we can do is adapt.
Maybe God is trying to tell her who controls the climate.
OK, I have read multiple stories about these floods.
How much rain did they get and in what time period ?
Here in southern NH we have received over 10” of rain in the month of July. It is record setting. It is raining again today. We will be over 11” in the month of July by tomorrow.
The brook across the road from my house is running similar to the height after spring snow melt.
Water runs downhill from the mountains.
Eliminate the mountains.

Hey Ms. Merkel, here’s one.”

RE: Interesting to find out they had a flood warning system. So that would mean they have had floods before?? Like...duh..
I’m still trying to understand this article’s logic .... let’s say they had a very accurate flood warning system, WHAT THEN? All it would do is prepare people in advance for the inevitable. IT WON’T STOP THE FLOOD.
So, in a sense, Angela Merkel is right, the Climate did Change. But I’m not sure if they can do a dam thing about it. Building more windmills or solar energy farms isn’t going to stop the flood.
It’s just poorly written. It’s a warning system to head for the high grounds. No different than hurricane or tsunami warning systems...get outa town!!
But the words it does know are invariably long, nearly unpronounceable compound words.
Hey, let’s build our village in this river canyon! What could possibly go wrong?
So, will this actually undergo the ratification process in the U.S. Senate?
