"It remains an incredibly challenging time," says the head of the world's second busiest airport.

Operations at Dubai airport are still severely disrupted as heavy rains continue to batter the United Arab Emirates and neighbouring countries.

The storm pounded the UAE on Tuesday, flooding roads and the sections of the busy international airport.

Flash floods have now killed 20 people in Oman and one in the UAE.

Some inbound flights have resumed on Thursday, but on the whole Dubai international airport, a major travel hub, is barely functional.

Authorities at the world’s second-busiest airport said on Thursday that they had started receiving inbound flights at Terminal 1, used by foreign carriers, but that outbound flights continue to be delayed.

        I say that every time there’s another massive hurricane. Am I allowed to say it about the other major fossil fuel exporters as well?

        Actually I’m referring to the cloud seeding they’ve been doing. But yes, I do indeed condemn all of our endless growth fetishes. We’ve fucked the planet beyond comprehension.
