Italy: Venice council flooded after ‘NO’ vote on climate change measures

Oops. Awkward.

An Italian council was flooded immediately after rejecting new measures to address the climate crisis that threatens to sink the city, and wreak havoc throughout the world.

The regional council of Veneto is situated on Venice’s Grand Canal. On Tuesday night, the office flooded for the first time in its history, right after rejecting measures to fight climate change.

It doesn’t get much stupider than this. 

Venice is one of the first cities that will be lost to ocean rise if we don’t do something about #ClimateChange soon
