AI6YR BenAP: Loss of FEMA program spells disaster for hundreds of communities and their projects"NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The textile mills that once served as the backbone of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, have long been shuttered, and officials believed federal money would be key to the town’s overdue revitalization. They hoped an improved stormwater drainage system and secured electrical wires — funded through a program to help communities protect against natural disasters and climate change — would safeguard investments in new businesses like a renovated historic theater to spur the largely rural economy.Mount Pleasant was about to receive $4 million when the Federal Emergency Management Agency eliminated the program. ..."<a href="https://apnews.com/article/fema-bric-grants-climate-resilience-cbbead8d418e1ff4e53d95f482de3522" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/fema-bric-grants-climate-resilience-cbbead8d418e1ff4e53d95f482de3522</a><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/fema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fema</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disasters</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/climateemergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climateemergency</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/disasterpreparation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disasterpreparation</a>

Climate destruction will make it increasingly difficult to avoid the looming global nuclear catastrophe we've created."Here's how our future might unravel: Late 2020s: Climate Red Alert and Infrastructure Strain"By the late 2020s, Earth’s climate is in unprecedented turmoil. Global average temperatures are consistently 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Each year brings record-breaking heatwaves, “freak” floods, and droughts that batter infrastructure. Coastal cities flood more frequently, roads buckle in extreme heat, and power grids strain under surging demand for cooling."This cascade of climate disasters sets the stage for a systemic collapse: as societies grapple with runaway warming, the resilience of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Criticalnfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Criticalnfrastructure</a> (power, water, transit) erodes."Energy systems enter a crisis even before 2030. Nuclear power, which in 2025 still provided about 9% of the world’s electricity from ~440 reactors, becomes increasingly unreliable. Many nuclear plants struggle with climate stresses: cooling water sources heat up in summer, forcing reactors to reduce output or shut down to avoid unsafe temperatures. For example, a 2028 European <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/heatwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#heatwave</a> pushes river and sea temperatures above 25 °C, triggering emergency shutdowns at multiple reactors that cannot be cooled effectively."At the same time, stronger storms and floods threaten reactor safety. Dozens of reactors worldwide are unprepared for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeFlooding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtremeFlooding</a>, meaning a dam failure or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StormSurge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StormSurge</a> could lead to a Fukushima-scale accident. Worrisome reports emerge of power plants in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/floodplains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#floodplains</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coasts</a> where defenses are overtopped by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RisingSeas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RisingSeas</a> and torrential rains."By 2029, global carbon output remains high, and natural feedback loops are kicking in. In the Arctic, permafrost thaws and releases methane creating a vicious warming cycle where initial warming triggers more emissions, leading to even more warming. Scientists caution that a tipping point is near, beyond which climate change becomes self-perpetuating (a true “runaway” scenario)."Society approaches 2030 in a precarious state: aware of looming catastrophe yet unprepared for its speed. The stage is set for the coming collapse, with power grids and nuclear facilities - the backbone of the industrial world - already under severe strain.Early 2030s: Blackouts and the First Reactor Crises"2030 marks the breaking point."A confluence of climate catastrophes collapses power grids across multiple continents. A severe global heatwave in the summer of 2030 brings record electricity demand while many power plants (nuclear and coal alike) are derated or offline due to overheating coolant water."Then powerful Category 5 storms strike in succession: one hurricane inundates the U.S. Eastern seaboard, while an unprecedented typhoon swamps Southeast Asia. These <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disasters</a> knock out transmission lines and flood key substations, leading to prolonged blackouts in dozens of major cities. Emergency systems are overwhelmed. With communications down and transportation paralyzed, manpower shortages become acute - many operators and engineers cannot reach their stations."Nuclear power plants are among the first to feel the emergency. Grid failure triggers automatic reactor SCRAMs (rapid shutdowns) at plants from Florida to France. Control rods halt the fission reactions, but decay heat in reactor cores still needs cooling for days to prevent meltdown."Normally, backup diesel generators would power the cooling pumps, but the scale of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackout</a> means diesel resupply is uncertain and some generators fail in flooded facilities. In a grim reflection of 2011’s Fukushima disaster, several coastal reactors lose all power as storm surges drown their backup generators."Within hours to days, the first meltdowns occur."In 2031, a reactor in South Asia becomes a flashpoint: its cooling pumps falter after the grid collapse, leading the core to overheat. The reactor’s heart melts through containment in a matter of days, releasing a plume of radioactive steam and debris."Nearby, an even greater danger unfolds: the plant’s spent fuel pool, packed with years of highly radioactive spent rods, boils dry without cooling. Exposed to air, the zirconium cladding of the fuel ignites, triggering a fire that belches long-lived radioisotopes directly into the atmosphere. This nightmare scenario - once narrowly avoided at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fukushima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fukushima</a> by heroic ad-hoc measures - now plays out in full."Read more: <a href="https://www.collapse2050.com/2030-doomsday-scenario-the-great-nuclear-collapse/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.collapse2050.com/2030-doomsday-scenario-the-great-nuclear-collapse/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoNukes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RenewablesNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Radiation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Radiation</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearMeltdowns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearMeltdowns</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Polycrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Polycrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoMoreFukushimas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoMoreFukushimas</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukesForAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoNukesForAI</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilizationCollapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilizationCollapse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearFuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearFuture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ARadioactiveWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARadioactiveWorld</a>
