History's Worst Floods | Code Red | Earth Stories 

Recent studies on Tree Rings have been correlated with large Alaskan Volcanoes that are postulated to have caused massive drought in Egypt and the Levant and Greece from shifts in monsoons from extended La Niña patterns.

When we have to pay for knowledge, the knowledge is lost to those who don't know how to use it. Just know how to make money off it. And the population suffers.

Sustainability scientist here, who was actually working at IUCN Asia when KPK in Pakistan passed its Billion Tree Tsunami goal. This is an absolutely fantastic documentary IMO, with its emphasis on the resilience of communities being a factor in how devastating a natural disaster will be. The examples are excellent, and the explanations of how various factors -- including over-development of river systems -- compound to create a greater disaster than it would have been otherwise I thought were very clear. Obviously it's hard to go into great detail in a 50 minute documentary, but I thought a lot of the complexity was well-conveyed, especially with the Mozambique example. That one, specifically, really starkly shows how human and planetary health are inextricably linked, and multiple compounding problems quickly have results that are way worse than just the sum of their parts. Really, really good, and I will be looking more deeply into the Pakistan and Mozambique floods as public health, resilience, and sustainability case studies.

2010 was a really rough year, Europe had big floods too

every time i feel like complaining about my troubles i find out somebody's got it much worse then i do . the little kid in the arms of his father 11:07 looks into the camera like he is mad at the the camera man for photographing him in his moment of pain maybe his house was flooded and he might have lost a brother or sister or his mother in any case he is NOT!!!!!! HAPPY TO BE IN THAT SPOT

And the floods of the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s?

We are over populated & overwhelmed

"The Cajun Navy"... It is folks like you who keep my faith in humanity real... 🇿🇦

can we better prepare for floods? yes. will it work? no.

...any disasters that you have prevented so far????💥💥💥

You need a emergency flood tanks and make rivers deeper

We blame Corp of Engineers and Developers here in Louisiana for the floods in 2016 and Katrina!

Floods n Pakistan, were caused, by dams etc.. locals had no say!!!

those countries like Pakistan should educate their populations so that they will not be ignorant to what deforesting the land can cause. Activities of humankind can impact the environment to the point of causing floods to be worse. But I do not believe that burning fossil fuels cause climate change. The climate has always been changing and will continue to change foever no matter what humans do.

You can survive if wealthy

🙏 Mar 23 /23 WE CREATE HOUSES WITH EARTH - SAND - BRICKS, TAKEN FROM THE EARTH. TODAY ONLY WHAT WE TAKE IT MUST RETURN TO THE LAND, RIGHT ???

Lovely.. 🫤🤔 human stupidity should be punished!

I have no money

Brionze Age Collapse

I spent a few days in Pakistan in 1977 en route to Indla from Afghanistan. It was crowded, filthy, and the people were rude assholes (most Muslims are). By far the worst country I've been to. Watching this, I can't feel much sympathy.

I have a solution to the population explosion problem: educate women, and provide free or low-cost birth control to impoverished countries.

One example after another.. we do not have enough food for five our children... Sure, lets make another eight.. 🤦🤮 Condoms can really save milions. Nature loves balance and will always tend to keep it, one way or another. Animal population can only grow if resources are abundant. People should learn.

O God

Global warming😣whats new

the bombs dividing the earth the earth divide roads impasable

This happened when sleeping them wicked shall be destroyed

the sun discharge solar flare yesterday more destruction to come

God destroying the wicked think this doing by it self?

What if global warming isn't due to the burning of fossil fuels? But rather the earth has been continually warming as part of its recovery from the global flood thats talked about in the Bible. It all depends on who you put your trust in.

men marrying men This is out rageous to God

Stop using "heaven's" , it's insulting, it's the atmosphere.
