European Tribune - Comments - Popularising Climate Change [Updated]

Popularising Climate Change [Updated] | 9 comments (9 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm too late, but I could have done some stuff about the pretty weird climate Bulgaria "enjoys". The north is pretty stormy and is their main agricultural belt. They'd be up the creek if crops are smashed in the fields by unseasonal summer storms, which have happened. Also storms tend to flood Sofia, which is inconvenient.

also, due to distrust of corruption, they don't have many reservoirs (dams break if they're built badly) which means that it's hughly susceptible to drought. Bad news guys.

Well I did mention the increased incidence of storms and floods and droughts in a general way, so maybe that will resonate somewhat.

BTW - the interview is being dubbed into Bulgarian for broadcast on Wednesday, so I will post a link if I get one.
