Historic flooding in Brazil - authorities plan 'tent cities' for displaced people | DW News 

There was also a man who rescued three little girls and these three girls who were inside the boat asked him to pick up a doll that was floating for them and when he went to pull it out of the water this doll was a dead baby. 😢

Exactly. And really nothing was made . Unfortunately.😢

"They had no idea" you mean they deliberately ignored the climatologists warnings in the name of the dismantle of the public services and 'make the state smaller'. When you have neoliberal governors and presidents you should not wait preventive measures to catastrophes never. This is 'spend too much' for them. They like to spend with police only, to put the population in their place while destroy the healthcare the civilian defense, the public infrastructure, education to sell everything to the private sector..

Anyway our government should have been more prepared for this event and should have alert the population.

Brasil criou uma política liberal, assim nada sai do papel mesmo

Flood risk in a warmer atmosphere is very different than before. “100” year floods have become 35 year floods and for some areas, 8 year floods. And that risk has become more fine grained. In the US it’s now on a county level, but this shift is true globally. Everywhere, intensified risk is more localized. Historical methods of risk assessment that rely on the past are no good anymore.

In this region of Brazil, before the rains temperatures reached 30°, but now they have plummeted to between 5° and 15°

No sudeste e Cento-oeste do Brasil também estamos experimentando ondas de calor, são essas ondas que impediram as chuvas de avançarem pelo país e causaram todas essas inundações no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

after all this rain some places here hit -2º C

That's heat index and not air temperature! Those two are not the same, lol! You need to be more specific so your statement won't be misleading!

Hit waves and droughts are about to happen in other parts of Brazil later this year, in part as a consequence of what just happened. All this humidity that got trapped there in the south by some area of atmospheric pressure and caused those rains, would normally keep traveling northwards and turn into rain in other places. Now this rain isn't coming to those areas, water levels are already low in some critical areas.... This is not the end of the climate event in Brazil, but hopefully the worse has already passed.

In shelters, schools, churches and sports grounds. Search in Portuguese right here on RU-vid if you want to see something. Idt 🥴 "Abrigos no Rio Grande do Sul" "Abrigos RS" 👍

And there are many shelters, so don't expect to find a video with 30,000 people crammed into just one. The shelters are well distributed, so there is no "overcrowding". Many have also gone to the homes of relatives or friends in cities in Rio Grande do Sul that were not affected or even in other states

I haven't seen a detailed map yet, just a projection of the area that the water flooded. There are also satellite images comparing before and after that you can probably find easily. RIo grande do Sul has 3 main river basins, west (to the uruguai river), southern, to the patos lagoon southern part and the northern basin below the mountain regions, which flow to the Guaiba river (and then to the lagoon, and finally to the ocean). It's like a funnel basically. The valleys of those rivers in the center-north were flooded to historic heights, affecting all the smaller towns in their paths. Most catastrophic cases were indeed in towns on the river margins, because the water flooded way more than normal. It all coalesced in the Capital which borders the short Guaíba, receiving its strongest flood in history. The city itself was badly damaged in areas while other towns in the metro area were hit even harder, one of them had all its western neighborhoods covered in water to the roof of houses. The flood in general affected plentiful of roadways and bridges in the state, rice and wheat fields were damaged, cattle and factories as well. People were left without water service for days in the capital. The airport is out of order for until 30th may the earliest and possibly until september (it's the largest airport in the southern region of Brazil). Southern partt of the state was hit as well especially as the waters flow down the lagoon, since its only ocean connection is a very small twisting point, the wind affects a lot how much the flood will last there, but some areas there were badly hit as well

floodplains immediately adjacent to rivers. You've just decribed the State of Rio Grande do Sul

It literally translates to "Big River of the South". So, yes, everywhere is surrounded by rivers.

There is nothing to do with deforestation, in fact the mass that came from the trees in the Amazon contributed to the amount of rain. The problems was that there is pressure from north blocking the rain clouds to move and in an area built around rivers.

hopefully you study more about Brazilian geography before commenting

@@laraleon There is actually a lot to do with deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and a number of other factors that contribute to climate change. Sure, a lot of the humidity that turned into rain there comes from the forest... and that's a good thing. We need that humidity to have the necessary rain around the continent. What you seem to be ignoring here is that the atmospheric pressure that blocked said humidity from continuing northwards has its causes too, and those causes are kinked to factors that are either caused or affected by climate change, such as the warming of the ocean which contributed to a stronger "El Nino" event.

They will manage it

@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 What would you say if I said: Humans will manage it too, don't worry about them? Humans did this!

@tiwowo1234 são áreas metropolitanas. Logo, não possuem animais selvagens. Os animais são cães, gatos e aqueles do campo que são porcos, cavalos, vacas, galinhas. O Brasil não é só selva ou ocas, a maioria são casas de alvenaria e prédios altos. Desmistifique.

@@guffaw1711 os humanos foram os primeiros a saírem de suas casas, mas deixaram os animais. A maioria dos humanos sobreviveu, mas os animais ficaram no pátio ou na corrente enquanto a água subia. Alguns humanos decidiram ficar e não ser resgatados, para proteger seus bens e por acreditar que a água não subiria tanto e acabaram morrendo com seu animais, os animais que sobreviveram a isto estão sendo salvos.

@@edsonmgpryt Obrigado. Sorry for the rant. I get really angry at all the selfish greed.

how so?

​@Benjamin-ti1sd they built houses and whole cities where in dangerous places. And even then specialists knew, and warned the government, it would happen. They had at the very least a decade to prepare and nothing was done

​@@nicolasfigueiredo6167it wasn't that dangerous. most big cities were built around rivers and bays anyway

It's a flood there is nothing what can stop it and man made climate change is going to be worse

Don't forget the El Niño effect.

And possibly weather modification

And to think abrupt cc is just getting started

Its called weather manipulation look what happened in Dubai they admitted to playing God and doing what they call cloud seeding , creating rains and weather disturbances also in many other parts of the world.

lol u have been brainwashed successfully. Thats the proof of nothing but incompetent government

It only seems sudden if you haven’t been paying attention for the over past decade

The Bank of Brics have already destinated more the US$1 billion for the reconstruction of the state.

You could have looked it up you know..

Mas nenhum deles controla o clima, isso vai além de possuir aliados...

Israel ? Are you for real ? Brics is a common currency consortia. Not the United Nations. The Brazilian central government is already availing funds and debt moratorium. All the help is to come from within the country.

Nada engraçado.

quanta mentira, Lula venceu por duas vezes nos anos 90 enquanto o resto do país votou contra ele, o estado é bastante dividido, o PT venceu em todo a metade sul e na grande Porto Alegre, o norte do estado de fato é uma continuação de Santa Catarina. Não sei o que você ganha mentindo pra estrangeiros.

All world is suffering with climate changes. Obvioulsly we could be more sustainable, but there are countries worst than Brazil that pollute more. Always rain a lot in some areas in Brazil, mainly in Rio de Janeiro. We don't have structure or a good plan to face this amount of water since years ago.

It sure wouldn´t make a change regarding this flood. 4/5 of Rio Grande do Sul state are grasslands... the pampas and the Campos de Cima da Serra. Removing bureaucracy in environmental laws cuts both edges btw. Everyone is talking about the Chinese "City Sponges". (which btw would not help at all to this type and size of flood). The environmental laws, as they were, would simply make impossible to create such city sponges, because of the bureaucracy.

Stop saying nonsense. As if a left government would make any difference in *global* warming.

It made the waters faster, to say the least, with riparian forest being swept away...

That happened because of bad agricultural techniques... abusing the land

Amazon forest is in the other side of the country is very far away. If anything forest would bring more water. Desert has no trees and no water.

​@@jcmagnusit happened in this place 80 years ago when there wasnt much stuff there and so called eco problems.

You reap what you sow/ Interesting. where do you live? 80% of Amazon rainforest is preserved. I'm pretty sure your country does much more damage to the environment than Brazil. Do you think this type of thing won't happen where you live? Think again. You reap what you sow...

The Amazon rain forest is 3 thousand miles away from the region that is flooded. I didn't see any specialist saying the floods were caused by trees being cut in the amazon. but you had to come here and write this comment to say "you reap what you sow", right?

I will use your special book next time I go to the toilet. to clean myself.

don't you people feel ashamed of using a tragedy in another country to show how guIIible you are?

Theological librarian here. The core of Christianity is charity, according to Matthew 25:31-46. Not blaming the hungry for their hunger, the thirsty for their thirst, the naked for their nakedness, etc. Even less when you ignore the very complex history of a country, and disregard the responsibilities of your own country in what's going on around the world. American, I presume? British, maybe? Go and vote for anyone that is not like Trump or Johnson, so in Brazil there is never again another Bolsonaro.

Yes, everyone says it's karma. The left says it's "karma" for our "racism". They don't even consider us brazilians. But maybe you're right... you're so smart, after all.

This wasn't the issue

You are forgetting that Jesus Elon Musk and his PayPal mafia are making end runs around Latin America central governments and going straight to local municipalities to promote “Carbon Credits” for cash. They owning such purchased carbon credits , a pitiance , enables them to control entire regions , and position themselves towards unhinged land grab for forests , water systems , underground riches. Part of the deal is they will monitor by satelite all regions under agreement. All his posturing to be the earth’s savior is smoke screens. He was certainly promised the earth by the previous administration and later denied by the new admistration and has been running his mouth afoul against the current administration. Just because he did not get what he wanted.

Brazil's problem is... [Insert delusions beyond human comprehension]

WTF?

We are friends

it's like a town or two no one cares

Brazil and Uruguay actually have tons of cities that we can't even tell where we are. Both citizens can walk through the two countries with no problem

If it is ever a dispute , it is not up to you to make such nonsense statements. Leave to Brazilian and Uruguayan bureaucrats to settle this.

Hey, the USA Bayer-Monsanto(they control the US government through lobbies, also Brazilian agribusinesses and many places around the world ) GMO crops are devastating tropical forests, although the Brazilian South has another kind of vegetation. You need to study and watch less mainstream media, you are ignorant.

Those rains were caused by a mix of uncommon factors not by global warming

​@@maiconc.b9453 True, look at google maps you can tell how much the USA has deforest

​@@maiconc.b9453​ what you're spreading in your comments simply isn't true. Brazil is using biomass from all that deforestation which sums up to about 50% of energy production. Brazil is one of the countries to deforest their lands the fastest.

It's burning fossil fuels that causes climate change.

There is nothing to do with deforestation, in fact the air mass that came from the trees in the Amazon contributed to the amount of rain. The problems was that there is pressure from north blocking the rain clouds to move and in an area built around rivers. The air mass originating from the Amazon Rainforest significantly contributes to rainfall in the south of Brazil. This phenomenon is primarily driven by the atmospheric circulation patterns and the unique geographic and climatic features of Brazil. Here’s a closer look at how this happens: ### 1. **Evapotranspiration in the Amazon** The Amazon Rainforest, being one of the largest and most dense rainforests in the world, has a high rate of evapotranspiration. This is the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants. The vast amount of moisture released into the atmosphere by the Amazon plays a crucial role in the regional climate dynamics. ### 2. **Formation of Air Masses** The warm, moist air over the Amazon forms a significant air mass known as the Amazonian Air Mass. This air mass is characterized by its humidity and warmth. As it travels, it can influence weather patterns significantly, depending on prevailing wind patterns and other atmospheric conditions. ### 3. **Movement of the Air Mass** The movement of air masses is influenced by the general circulation of the atmosphere. In the case of Brazil, the Amazonian Air Mass can move southward depending on the seasonal patterns and atmospheric circulation. This southward movement is often influenced by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and frontal systems coming from the south. ### 4. **Contribution to Rainfall** As the moist and warm Amazonian Air Mass moves southward, it encounters cooler air masses from higher latitudes and the Southern Atlantic. The interaction between these air masses can lead to condensation and precipitation. The lifting of warm, moist air over cooler air (a process known as orographic lift) often results in rainfall. This is particularly significant during the transition from winter to spring and during the summer months. ### 5. **Impact on Southern Brazil** Southern Brazil, including states like Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul, benefits from these rainfalls, especially during periods when other climatic influences, such as El Niño or La Niña, affect regional weather patterns. The moisture contributed by the Amazon is crucial for agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, and the overall ecology of these regions. In summary, the air mass from the Amazon, laden with moisture, plays a vital role in contributing to the rainfall patterns in southern Brazil, showcasing the interconnected nature of regional climates and the significant influence of large forested areas on global weather patterns.

We need international solidarity in the fight against climate change, not punching down with comments like "their own fault". The Brazilian people are no monolith, just because their forests are being cut, it doesn't mean 'they' somehow deserved the consequences. Plenty of Brazilians disapprove of these practices, but they are up against people and corporations that just want to plunder the earth and don't care about the next generation. And these plunderers very much include western companies, politicians and citizens, I know. But the same thing goes for us Europeans or Americans: we too are not a monolith, we don't all want to plunder the global south, even though we did just that for a few centuries. There is an unfolding climate and ecological disaster in every country, we need solidarity, if we fall into the trap of blaming other victims, we are only playing into the hands of oligarchs, plutocrats, authoritarians, billionaires and megacorporations.
