- The government of Brazil’s southernmost state Rio Grande do Sul declared a state of public calamity as the death toll as a result of severe flooding climbed to 29 on Thursday.
Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who visited one of the devastated towns Thursday, offered his full support to local authorities and those impacted.
“We don’t know how our house will be, the things we put so much work into every day to build and buy. And now to arrive with nothing, we have lost everything,” displaced resident Silvia Rodrigues said on Thursday, after arriving at an evacuation centre.
The storms, which have caused the most devastation in the state in recent years, have left 60 people missing and 10,242 people displaced across 134 cities, according to Rio Grande do Sul’s civil defence.

Biggest disaster the state has ever seen. The damage is unreal.
It's heartbreaking. Prayers for RS.
As of 2022, China 🇨🇳 was by far the world's largest *coal* consumer with 55% of energy use, an increase of 2% of the total energy from the year before.
So China is accelerating the use of coal despite it having signed the Paris agreement.
Yes, as well as most of the west. I hate it when these Americans and Europeans keep saying its karma when they and some others like China are the ones emitting the most Co2. Its hypocritical
The state of São Paulo (countryside) also got affected by heavy rains and severe floods by the beginning of this year. My mom lost her stuff as well. Very sad of what we are facing here.
Indeed it is! These are the initial outcomes of an ongoing climate shift. Brace for increasingly erratic weather patterns and a surge in record-breaking catastrophes. During my time collaborating with the Earth Sciences team at NASA's JPL in Pasadena, I had the privilege of conversing with its director. He disclosed that he relinquished his position as an admiral in the US Navy to join NASA after encountering a classified report on climate change. This underscores the gravity of the situation; it's so pressing that even a high-ranking Admiral would sacrifice his comfortable role to contribute to addressing the issue.

I wonder if this is a result of deforestation and more grazing land being developed along rivers in Brazil?
No??? Its El Nino man...
@@Dany-ik1id not why this happened at all. Rising climate evaporates more water and creates heavier rain. The climate is getting warmer because of emissions from Europe, America, Russia, China and India mainly, nothing to do with deforestation, the region isn't even a forest is a grassland called the Pampa
@@filipepaixao9398 os caras assistem muito desinformação
No?

Brazil's president Lula did NOTHING about this
So you're living in a parallel Brazil, because the president was in the state yesterday to see the situation and try to resolve it 🤦
EXACTLY, he is not doing anything. He doesn't even care, he only steals our money.
Very sad news 😢😢😢😢god bless you Brazil we support Brazil 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳we love Brazil love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️👋👋 blessings Brazil ❤🇮🇳🇮🇳
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:1
They have burned too much trees.
Não tem nada haver! Rio Grande do Sul é um estado que fica bem ao Sul do Brasil perto do Uruguai, o clima mundial está uma loucura, estamos vivendo o el niño
Oh my God another one.. This is sad.
you talk too much and know little! this is one of the biggest natural disasters caused by the climate and a corridor of humidity coming from the Amazon, increasing the strength of the rains, there is also atmospheric obstruction, due to heat waves, Brazil is really suffering with this change of weather waves and more heat waves of cities like Rio de Janeiro hit a thermal sensation of 61° degrees!!
Nem geografia tu sabe, vai estudar
@@MariaRosilene-ye3ns naturel science.
Keep cutting down the forest and there is no jungle to absorb the water. You made your own environment, now learn to live with it. Of course you can always restore the jungle in about 200 years
blame the current president of Brazil who even broke a record for fires in the Amazon, more fires than when Bolsonaro governed Brazil, including you Democrats helped elect the communist Lula, who is leading Brazil to ally itself with the axis of evil ( Russia, China, Iran and Hamas).
Yep, corrupt government and money hungry politicians.
Brazil is as big as the Continental USA and the longest country on the face of the Earth. Blaming deforestation on this as virtuous as it sounds is like saying forest fires in Canada caused a flood in southern Mexico. Besides where the flood happened there isn't even a rainforest to speak of, this happened in the Pampas grassland region. Know about what you are saying so you don't come across as ignorant. The reason for the extreme weather condition is global warming due to fossil fuel emissions from USA, Europe, Russia and China mainly. Brazil only contributes 2% of the emissions.
@@filipepaixao9398 Well I happened to work for the Forests Industry back in the 1980, BRAZIL like Canada was happy to cut down as many forest as they could, in the name of Profit. Brazil was worse, cutting and burning and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere.
As the UN has said, Water vapour in the atmosphere is now at 74% by volume, CO2 4% by Volume.
Brazil and Canada will see a lot more flooding, the rainfall will increase and no Forests to absorb the rain on the mountain slopes.
Any other facts and science you would like, drop a comment. PS, Rainfall will increase flooding around the world. Don’t worry be happy
@@FactsAllowed I agree that deforestation is a factor in the climate crisis, but it is far from the main catalyst. Like I said Brazil releases around 2% of the worlds Co2 emissions. I did not explicitly say that deforestation can't play a role in this ( especially since now we know plankton is the one who filters 80% of the Co2 from the atmosphere) In your original comment you said "you created your own climate, now learn to live with it", I find that kind of unfair to say to the 10s of people that lost and are losing their lives on the other side of this vast country, not to mention it is other countries who are doing the large BULK of the pollution.
Not Canadas problem.
These extreme weather patterns will soon affect the entire world... If we don't be careful it will be Canadas problem very soon
global problem... maybe when temperatures reach 50ºC in canada, you'll open your eyes...
Until you need the food that we produce
It going to be Canadas problem soon if we don't do anything about it
Canada has recently reached 50°C, are you sure it's not a problem?
one of the biggest natural disasters caused by the climate and a corridor of humidity coming from the Amazon, increasing the strength of the rain, and an atmospheric blockage, due to heat waves, Brazil is joining hands to help everyone in the south and together we are stronger! and everything will be recovered!🤍🇧🇷
We all love Mr Wacko name that fits perfectly for FJT.
