- German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has visited southwestern Germany where heavy rainfall has triggered flooding and landslides. The regional government in the state of Saarland is freeing up funding to help people forced to leave their homes. Authorities have lifted a storm warning over the state, but say flood waters are likely to keep rising.

1:00 Not the grandma being happy about being rescued by a strong young lad 😂
And yes, that's exactly what she said.
" I have never seen anything like this or anything like that since i was born", that's the statement or reports from the affected victims of floods in the year 2024.
A lifetime is not long for the timescales of events like this.
And with climate change these things are getting more likely and more extreme.
@@rogerwilco2It should be long enough though, the point is that climate change is not *just* driving these frequent natural disasters caused by extreme weather all around the world, climate change *is* the extreme weather becoming more common, it *is* the frequent natural disasters
Major flooding In Brazil, now Germany…😞🙏
And Russia, Kenia, Tansania, Pakistan, Dubai, Italy, China and USA (Houston) ... bevor.
Too much heat in south east Asia more than 40 degrees heat index, like in Thailand,Philippines,Malaysia ,Vietnam and etc
Afghanistan too
Hope the waters recede soon. Very beautiful countyside and nice people. Stay safe
2024: "... worst flooding in decades."
2025: "... worst flooding in decades."
2026: "... worst flooding in decades."
Because it'll get worst 🙄
No worries the gov will fix it with money
@@gretape until it will cost so much and cause so much damages that nothing can be done anymore than just regret that we did not do anything about it years ago .... not like we were not warn about incoming disasters !
@@nr619That's right. All governments will do is promise help for residents, the help will likely be insufficient, and 'nothing' will be done about the 'real problem.'
Climate change.
Germany is proud of its industry (what's left of it), proud of their giant open cast mining machines, and there will be very little to nothing done to counteract these highly polluting features - especially as, like nearly everywhere, the population increases, and companies tempt customers with new gimmicks, new ways to shove more carbon into the atmosphere.
The German government won't want to see it like this, but they have turned a blind eye while their country's big business empires have fuelled the disasters that have befallen them.
I'm sorry for individual victims, but as well as forcing their government to address their own losses, they 'must' also press for industrial change... Otherwise, events like this will become more frequent, more intense, and the 100 or so people that died last year will be the trickle before the floodgates open.
And people still don’t understand the message as those in the times of Noah…
Das Problem (Menschheit) wird einfach weggespült...😢
❤ from Saarland
Prayers for the water to recede asap and may all be safe ❤
Now more than ever we need an ice age.
0:06 to 0:08 … Am I the only one who heard Land sl*ts.
😂😂😂 Man, internet is undefeated.
Wow now I hear it too 😮
it is his Australian accent. To me he says "slides" very clearly
I am from India, can I get a job in Germany, what do I have to do for this, what is the rule of Germany, can you tell me? According to us, German people are very honest, we have seen in the news.🇩🇪
My prayers to the residents that had to flee
And they get the help they need and safety…
🙏🏻
Climate change is faster than expected
Just like in the Philippines 🇵🇭 from June to December.
lets get prepared for +40c temperature for this summer then ...... !
there will be no support package to germany from anywhere i bet
Of course not .Why countries should send support to a rich country like Germany ?
@@Ingrid-wf4cl you mean like the money Germany sends to CHINA?
Where is this??
extremly deathly dangerous
I am in this region. Fortunately until now there has no people been harmed. But some lost their appartements, belongings or houses.
A big problem yesterday was also with traffic infrastructure, because many roads were inaccessible.
Hundreds of firefighters helped to reduce damage as good as they could.
There is also a big cultural site in my Region under water with archeologic al and historical value from the Romans and celtics and it is not clear yet how big this cultural damage would be.
Afghan,UAE,india and now german
Global warming leads to extreme weather all around the globe
Don't forget the Philippines and Southernmost Brazil, and so many others. Tuvalu is literally digitizing the whole country because it's expected to be overtaken by the sea in not too many years.
@@tubebrocoli the whole world in disaster because of human behavior
Hundreds of people died in Kenya and Tanzania, and in Kenya more than 165,000 people had to leave their homes.
@@manmin517 Yup, and still there are conspiracy theorists out there trying to deny it.
Didn’t this happen last year in Germany?
You probably mean the flood in arthal 2022 wich was way worse than that, many people died because it came so fast I life in the region seen in this video and happily no one died. Probably because the water was rising slowly, it was just raining for 2 days constantly and some days before but not strong the whole time.
The clima is change
There's been climate changes going on for centuries and centuries
If we hadn’t built right up to the rivers edge, much of this wouldn’t be happening. Nothing new under the sun!
We should restore the rivers, creeks natural landscape and wetlands as edges in fields
Explains why Mexico was trying to import 3 million jon boats for travel and tourism.....
As the world slowly ends...
First thing I see is some man talking I can't hear a word he's saying I am on mute now another man is talking now I see the floods RPS 111
If the financial help is provided with the same system as with Corona, then I already feel sorry for the people
So am I !
same floods my country surabaya, indonesia. this is why you don't know.
Definitely not cloud seeding . Just saying before the crazies come
Yet another case of the result of global warming
Yup that's why it's colder and wetter. Funny that.
What sickens me is that (((they))) will never be held accountable for their lies.
@@MrMjolnir69 You're wrong, my friend.
Climate changes have been occurring for centuries!
@@MrMjolnir69 my country is highly sensitive to the effects of global warming. As a result, we're being baked alive right now.

19 May 2024 - Saarland Germany 🇩🇪 Floods
I am from India, can I get a job in Germany, what do I have to do for this, what is the rule of Germany, can you tell me? According to us, German people are very honest, we have seen in the news. ,🇩🇪
The one in Brazil this month was worse.
It’s not a competition.
Who cares?
Clear burning of the Amazon forest for cow pastures feeding China has nothing to do with this. BELIEVE ME!
So?
The laser Beam missed it's Mark,it was meant for France
100 Milliarden fuer Waffen sind kein Problem . Da ist sicher noch Geld vorhanden um den Menschen zu helfen .
Für die eigenen Bürger doch nicht 😂
The one place that can handle such things it seems, one of the many things Germans do well.
That:s why the people of the Ahrtal are still waiting for help after some years of the flood.
Bring the Dutch .They can control water
Dutch here. In the 90s we also had some serious floodings and after that we gave the rivers more room. We have people who are called dijkgraaf (dyke count) and that are responsible for checking the dikes/dykes (?) and waterworks on a regularly base. We pay special taxes to Waterschappen who use the money to modernize and maintain the waterworks and dikes. Waterschapsbelasting. We even use our museum steam water pumps ( very nice and we'll maintained musea and machines) from the 1800s to pump away water when it rises to a certain hight.
@@gerhard6105
We do the same over here in the north of Germany...
But in this case it's overload of rain, those villages are in narrow valleys, different situation than to us in the north = low lands...
Those villages/towns are up to 1.000 years old...
Een feinen Dag wünsch ik di met groetens ut Bremen 🖐
Its pretty interesting these idea of have a discrete institution for the dykes inspection and pumps and even more the idea of having old fashion pumps that have with itself the energy source.
I my city the usage of modern electric pump has shown its weakness, it relies way too much on external infrastructure and the infrastructure is easly damaged by water and storms. This year flooding it escalated. The rainstorm ruined the infrastructure, the pumps reliant on the infrastructure stop working and it cause flooding and this flooding causes even more damage to the infrastructure the pumps rely on.
Diesel pumps might be good enough.
@renekuipers4563 Like in Nijverdal at christmas 2023?
@@peter_meyer
Well, the whole Region was flooded at x-mas 2023, same as most of Lower-Saxony/Bremen/Hamburg.....when the sea level is too high due to inlands going storms, pushing the sea water towards the coast lines/inlands.... therefor higher high-tide levels, higher waves, hence the rivers can't get rid of their water-overloads into the sea, get pushed back ... water levels in the rivers/ditches etc raise, caused by permanent heavy rain for weeks, groundwater levels raising, dykes get soft due to permanent heavy rain..,, and had to be stabilised with sand bags, or weeks ongoing heavy rain = floodings happen...
It's a terrible "chain reaction"...
Greetings from Bremen 🖐
Edit typo/autocorrect
Massive devastating floods existed in ancient and medieval times as well. It’s nature, it happens. You can’t control it.
The frequency of major flooding has been increasing for decades
Lasagna phenomenon
Eat less meat lads, just a tip for y'all
No repeat after me : Climate change is real...Climate change is here
Climate changes have been going on for centuries. In the 1600's the biggest volcanic eruption occurred in Peru, and it cooled the entire planet off for one year.
God’s warnings are real !
In the tropics we face epic rains these days, and grateful for the sun to reappear as it does🇱🇰🌤️☀️
Holy Pope Francis launched a beautiful project which promotes ecological living called Laudato Si.
Worth exploring for Governments to gradually implement elements of this project.
dig place for water on summer hot...
OM OM OM likes that news.
😅👍🏿
Israel sympathize a good for you guys.
Where my global warming deniers at? Raise your hands now! HAHA
Directed energy weapons.
Just property damage? Keep on trucking!
It's because the global warming is causing the ice caps in Antarctica to melt. The Antarcticans are losing their land mass whilst ours is being submerged.
no its not . its land management.
* good joke , you had me there for a moment. 🫢
Not exactly.
The sea's are warming, more water evaporates with warmer sea's. When there's more water evaporation then there's more rain.
@user-yb4pq4my1o Well, if you think it's good when nature wipes out humanity, you have a point.
Oh yes, the famous Antarcticans.
@@matthewbaynham6286also a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor, regardless where it evaporates from
Rain ? 😱
Ellos se an apartado del creador de todo…

That was the predecessor.
In this case it will be very soon: ""Konkret an die Überschwemmung im Saarland und deren Verlauf kann ich mich nicht erinnern.""

climate change maybe?
Maybe
Supposedly science knows for 150 years bout that, but i don't know.
Maybe it's gay frogs?
What are you crazy Zelensky needs that money....the Russians are advancing!!
Maybe Germany should be focusing on its own deteriorating economy and infrastructure instead of funding genocide in Gaza.
Or Ukraine
That could be said about many countries atm suffering from climate disasters. Thing is, until disasters happen, you can’t really plan the improvements!
@@MarcoPolo-su2fc Exactly. Giving billions to Ukraine to further American objectives to expand NATO instead of focusing on its own problems.
agree

Germany is paying € 250 million to Gaza/Palestinians per year...

It’s everywhere around the planet United States . Europe ,Dubai. Get ready prepare accordingly and PRAY
Prayers do not fix anything because this means that you let bad things happen and prayer is just trying to play victim after the fact that you could have found a solution before it happened or got worse.
Or maybe don’t build and rebuild next to river beds. 🤷♂️
Don't forget Brazil, we just had the worst flood disaster in Brazil's history, check it.
Worst than Katrina.

No one can challenge the the might and the glory of Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Alpha and the Omega. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can

Jesus seems to be really miffed at us all. Climate change seems to be a punishment for us not taking care of Creation. God is going to be especially rough on people who say they are His followers but who did nothing to protect or repair Creation!
It's called rain.
Tell that to someone who grew up in a pittoreske riverside village which now lies within the river
Nevermind, that's what you're already doing
It's called a flood. There's a huge difference. You'll find out, or, you'll find out what drought, wildfire, hurricane, heatwave, freezing wave, snowfall, halestorm, means.
Climate change has all manner of ways to make your life interesting.

@@GernhartReinbolzen I don’t believe in karma, and climate change is something that’s happening on a global scale, but supporting an ongoing genocide would probably would lead to some bad karma

@user-yb4pq4my1oYes.
By developing new technologies for better climate...like Airbus Bremen is developing hydrogen powered airplanes in cooperation with the Ariane Group space technologies Bremen...the goal is focused on 2035 😊
And lots of other technologies, like the worlds biggest heatpump in Danmark, for 100.000 households = build by MAN = German technology...
Worlds first 14 hydrogen powered trains (Alstom), started their service in 2022 in Lower Saxony/Germany
Please look up for the "clean hydrogen coast line", a project run by the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well..
Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven = hydrogen lab 😊
Why the Indian guy narrating a European channel? That just sounds weird.
