Veneto regional council, which is located on Venice's Grand Canal, was flooded for the first time in its history on Tuesday night -- just after it rejected measures to combat climate change.
The historic Italian city has been brought to its knees this week by the worst flooding there in more than 50 years. And the council chamber in Ferro Fini Palace started to take in water around 10 p.m. local time, as councilors were debating the 2020 regional budget, Democratic Party councilor Andrea Zanoni said in a long Facebook post.
Yeah, Mother Nature comes knocking!!!ClimateChangeIsReal

webster I was in Venice this past summer people hated us because they think that tourists are the reason they are having these problems and we probably have something to do with it but what you can't deny is that global warming is real and it doesn't care if you believe in it

This is not about climate change. Do your jobs.
If karma is so swift, I am anxiously awaiting the karma attack on liberals and hate filled “environmentalists”! I will do my best not to gloat or revel in it! Just be humans and help each other recover from a major weather event!

Good for them. Why throw money away in a hoax that won't work.
🤔🤔🤔
It's somehow good we can always have the first time of something.
Dear cnn: the 'acqua alta' phenomenon (floods) exists in Venice since the V happens over 100 times a year, every year.The worst episode happens in 1966, when 'climate change' meant nothing.Your ratings keep dropping because of the propaganda you spread!
It's VENICE.
Karma... perharps?
Ok, I’ll say it....Devine Justice.

You must be kidding?
Instant karma’s gonna get you...
Talk about Karma...
TomDMeester I wonder how people will look at these images 100 years into the future. This is how it started, the loss of our coastal cities.
luketrevorrow Oops! 😯 Must be dangerous as it’s already surrounded by water..
CostanzaRdO CostanzaRdO può gentilmente informare la di ciò che accadeva a Venezia oltre mezzo secolo fa?
😮
Jackthelad1947 Venice is fucked if they vote against slowing climate change. Idiots.
GabriellaAlic12 Cause its nothing to do with 'climate change' You are FAKE NEWS.
A city was built on top of water and it's mankinds carbon footprint that is to blame when it floods. Venice has not properly maintained the waterways and ignored know problems. I guess it is easier to point the finger elsewhere and ask for public donations to fix the problem.
Instant Karma.
Une bonne nouvelle. La nature s'est vengée.
News lead literary trying to convey 'karma is a bitch'😂😂
serves them right... Karma is a bitch
Oh, the ironing....
A water pipe broke in the bathroom.
Wow Mother Nature is fast.
I know that place well. Okay I'm lying I have no clue where it is and I'm sure the weather would get lost to. Lol
God’s version of “hold my beer”
God's punishment? Or just a stupid headline?
What about 50 years ago?
If GreenNewDeal passed how much would get as a kickback? Anyone who thinks CNN is 'actual news' hasn't been paying attention.
It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature.
Karma...

Its not climate change. Its water
Venice is a beautiful and historic city. My heart goes out to the people of Venice. ♥️♥️♥️
if this isn't a sign i don't know what is
That would have stopped the Ocean 🤡🤡🤡
Dts how Karma replies then.
Venice was built in the past before humans became aware of the future problem. What is worse is that humans are coastal dwellers and more cities will face similar problems. What is more worse is that humans build cities on known earthquake fault lines and in other high risk areas
You do realize the water levels have been higher in the past. I believe the highest level ever recorded was in the 60's
Venice has been sinking for years. Has nothing to do with climate change. Another fake headline by CNN.
Good you Reap what you Sow
🤭
Mr. President of the United States, do you have any idea about your ambassadors and consuls? They are all in the fray of corruption with President Jovenel Moses ... bring them back to orders ...
Venice has been sinking for decades. The city has consistently rejected plans for it for close to 40 years and you’re calling this climate change?
arrasz Karma is a bitch
Glad my seat is in the upper tier. Half that city will be under water in a decade. Climate change is very very real.
Poetic
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLIMATE CHANGE NOW PERHAPS YOU WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT
Like.... Why are people so against believing that the climate on Earth is evolving... Does it really matter why? Can't we just agree it's changing and try to find ways to make it not change as much? I just scratch my head at people that get mad about this
Not sure a local city council can 'combat' climate change by itself. Maybe you meant 'measures to mitigate the effects of..'?
Dino farts caused the first ice age.
Haha! No spin here 😂👍🏻
Eventually they will not have a choice but to face it head on.
LOOOL
Maybe man made climate change affects the moon? I wonder how much CO2 the moon missions introduced?
Any word on this from thegoodgodabove ?
Junk science.
this is what karma looks like. climatechangedenial climatecrisis veneto venice italy

Good.
I am sure that is why it flooded. Jeez
Well imagine that. Insert sarcasm here.
So are you saying it would not have flooded if they didnt reject the measures? GTFOH
You have angered the Sea Gods.

They said this would happen 50 years ago and it did quite often.
Isn’t it ironic!
What does climate change have to do with this story? Pathetic journalism appears to be implying it is karma.
This is a typical ironic problem that occurs in the world.
All climate change nay sayers need a one way trip to Mars. They don't deserve Earth.
Headlines like this are why CNN is one of the LEAST trusted news sources
Alternate headline: City built in a lagoon on the Adriatic Sea floods. LITERALLY no one surprised.
Climate change is nothing but a money grabbing hoax , weather goes in cycles and always will....
'Mom's coming 'round to put it back the way it ought to be'
It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.
That's their punishment for giving mother nature the middle finger.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What does rain have to do with climate change? Should Venice stop the rain from pouring? Pray tell CNN; how they should do it!!!
So what political actions would've prevented the flooding?
Resign
Documents reportedly leaked from the Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s office show complex money transfers from foreign sources into former President Obama’s Vice President and Secretary of State’s families.
Venice is always flooded, this is nothing new.
That’s just bad engineering, who the fuck builds a city on water
Fake news. Nothing to see here.
Oh, the IRONY
Isn't that something!
ClimateChangeHoax
what a headline😂
