Bangkok floods declared disaster as 40 people die

Climate tragedy = climate reality And this is the reality we face…unless we act. Bangkok at breaking point as floods turn streets into stagnant lakes. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

But every city has a breaking point, and this year rain fell so fast and so hard that whole neighbourhoods of the Thai capital have been transformed, not into rivers, but stagnant lakes. (Guardian)

I wonder if Tony Abbott will declare this catastrophe has nothing to do with climate change because "Bangkok always has floods". #auspol #ClimateCrisis #Bangkok

Lucky that big coal mine extension is nowhere near Bangkok hey! I mean Australian emissions wont affect their lives will they? #LaborIsAClimateCriminal #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

In just days, floods in Bangkok have seen - 3.5 million people affected - ~40 people dead - a flood disaster across all 50 of the city’s districts. Yet this week NSW had its largest coal mine approved - it will emit 809 tonnes of emissions, making disasters like this more frequent.

#Bangkok More rain in districts of the city, I feel so much for the countless animals, who've been displaced & lost to their owners because of floods, also, those who've sadly passed because of drowning etc & strays who've perished in this ongoing crisis! 🙏😭

Still massive floods today. People still using anything that floats to move people and animals. See Bangkok this week. All fifty districts under waist high water.

Tony Abbott climate denial goes viral. Users comparing govt evasion on Bangkok floods to domestic climate inaction—framing political denial as contempt for lived experience. 🧵2/3

How is nobody talking about the massive floods in Bangkok right now?? Thailand is suffering a climate catastrophe. people died.

6/7 The devastation doesn't stop at the border. Neighbouring Myanmar is suffering from the exact same weather system, with flash floods and mudslides complicating rescue efforts. Meanwhile in Bangkok, pumping stations operate at full capacity, but full drainage could take days.

For many coastal cities and low lying regions, this is a glimpse of a likely future @climatecassia1.bsky.social @climatecasino.net @climatecasino.net
