Today I bring to you the first (and probably not last) post in a category I call “black humour”.

“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”.

As for famous Saint Mark's basilica:

“It is the sixth time in 1,200 years that the basilica has been flooded, with four of those incidents happening in the last two decades”.

And it’s not over yet.
