Kicillof attributes storm to climate change

The governor of the Province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, commented this afternoon that the recent storm that affected the city of Bahía Blanca cannot be considered a biblical punishment or a scene of terror, but rather a consequence of climate change. This viewpoint contrasts with the general position of the Government.

"An event like this should be anticipated as much as possible, and it is necessary to be prepared," Kicillof pointed out during a press conference held in Bahía Blanca.

In recent days, the city of Bahía Blanca was hit by a severe storm that caused significant damage in the area. In light of this situation, the governor emphasized the importance of forecasting such events and the need for adequate contingency plans to confront them.

Additionally, Kicillof highlighted the relevance of understanding extreme climatic phenomena as part of a global pattern linked to climate change, stressing the responsibility to take action to mitigate their effects in the future.
