LIEGE, Belgium Pierre Ozer has been expecting these floods for decades.
That’s how long climate scientists like him have been warning that devastating floods like the ones that have killed more than 100 people, with many still unaccounted for in Germany and Belgium would hit Europe more often as the world warms.
“It’s a strange feeling,” said Ozer, one of Belgium’s leading climatologists from the University of Liège. “You talk about it for, like, a quarter of a century. And people say yeah, yeah. But nothing really happens … We just wait.”
The floods ripped through this part of Belgium and large parts of western Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg on Thursday.
