More than one million people lost their access to drinkable water. Electricity is down. The airport is flooded. The bridges down. The whole state infrastructure is collapsing

Its because the rainforest is destroyed.

@@ent.8979 Sorry to disapoint you, but Brasil is like a caldron, with two main rain inputs. One comes from equatorial Atlantic, the other from south Atlantic. Their flows and wind currents depend on how hot is Brazilian interior. If southeast is too hot, the flows are interrupted and all the rain coming from south stops in the southern region, accumulating there. Amazon rainforest provides moisture to mitigate the hotweather in the central regions of Brasil. Less moisture, means hotter weathers. So, everything here is connected, but aggravated by both El Nino and climate changes.

It's a serious problem GLOBALLY.. not just China Guangzhou, not just Brazil not just USA Texas, not just Bangladesh it's happening to many many cities .. it's not just 1 country or 1 city affected
Its because end times is near. Be warn and read the bible then look at the current society.
@@ArleneGonzales-pe4jbReally, the Great Wizard? 🤣
Kenya too
Its because of deforestation and intensive agriculture. Soil when intact is supposed to soak up water and not being washed away like dead dust. And dams, i forgot about those damn dams.
@@ArleneGonzales-pe4jbpossible, its the first time happening globally. It happened before in much smaller scales. I.e. while the egyptian pyramids were built 20% of the rainforest turned into desert. Or whilst the roman empire there were so many ships built that forests vanished causing the mediterranian hot temperatures peaking. Bible at least warns us about that from my understanding.
There was a huge flood in Porto Alegre in 1941. After that, in the 50s, 60s, and 70s there were big infrastructure projects in the city that avoided bad floods. Still, this was an extreme case and the infrastructure hasn't been properly renovated and improved since the 70s. It's not worth for politicians to try to invest in big projects to avoid floods, because they could take decades to be finished. And politicians only care about the next election.
And unfortunately there's a whole line of wealthy people lined up to make as much money as possible off of this. It's called Disaster Capitalism. You can make a lot of money off peoples' pain, and they do it globally.
@@cyan1616 lol "disaster capitalism"... sure, everything would be better if we were communists, right? 🤡
@@cyan1616One of the largest companies in Brazil, AMBEV, is stopping production of its main product, beer, to produce water and send it to the victims of this immense flood in the Brazilian state. capitalism is really evil.
Check the maps projection for Brazil with the rise of ocean levels, Santa Catarina should go under water in 30 years, this is way worse then the flood of 41, and is just the beginning. . Scientists not only predicted this in a 2015 report, but also reiterated in 2019 report.
@@cyan1616 It doesn't work that way in Brazil. A catastrophe like that is very undesirable, because these same wealthy people are aligned with the government, and since the government is not doing anything satisfactory, this will greatly descrease the government popularity and state moral (since this catastrophe came to prove how useless the government and the state are), and the great fortunes don't like unpopularity.

This is a serious problem across the country. Right now the state of Rio Grande do Sul is suffering, but not long ago it was Minas Gerais, Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo, etc.
All of our cities were built close to rivers, I think this is a global trend, but over the years with unplanned urbanization, many houses have been built in areas that shouldn't be.
Fixing this will take time and cost a lot of money, it should be a State project and not a government project. And in my opinion, a State project is a utopia here, because our country is very politically divided and the politicians are largely corrupt.
All major cities in the world are built near rivers for obvious reasons. When people settle, the first thing they need is water.
Falou tudo nosso país e dividido em tudo
Parte do desastre poderia ter sido atenuado com a manutenção das barragens cujos órgãos estão desmontados segundo técnicos da área
Don't worry politicians are corrupt everywhere. Even in Australia they build houses on flood plains on purpose.
Is the biggest inundation since 1941. The walter is taking over central áreas, comercial, historical, fancy neighborhoods, not just unplanned neighborhoods
I'm from Porto Alegre, the reporter forgot to say that the local government is responsable for this, they ignored the maintenance for the antiflood security system our city has, they overruled and ignored the laws for environment protection, and the federal gorvernment is doing a lot by redirecting billions to our state and flying help from all over Brazil, influencers are doing a lot and some are working with Lula's government, but the local government isn't giving a damn about our lives, they started a fundraising and later said that the money (R$80M) will go to a private banks association, that's how irresponsable the state and city government are, so small towns are filled with civilians helping each other, if it wasn't for us, it would be way worse. My state is the size of Germany, imagine 89% of it being hit by water. Global warming is real and it's kicking at our door.
Governo Lula não está fazendo nada demais, demorou uma semana pra liberar dinheiro e comida, quem mais salva pessoas é o próprio povo gaúcho, o número de militares enviados é ridículo pelo tamanho da tragédia, fora a mídia manipuladora que está tentando esconder que o povo civil é quem mais ajuda e salva vidas
Esse desastre é resultado de uma sequência de anos de falta de cuidados com as questões ambientais do Brasil todo...Se for para apontar culpados, vamos culpar pelo menos os últimos 5 presidentes junto com os últimos 5 governadores! Tu é brasileiro (como eu) e sabe bem que o governo anterior só potencializou algo que já acontece há anos... De qualquer forma desejo muita força para vocês nesse pior momento da história do estado e que a reconstrução seja rápida e sadia!
Isso é resultado de 18 anos de governo do PT no poder

true
Exactly. I can only add that he just forgot to mention the governor. Not every measure he mentions was a national government issue. He could have talked about the money (not) invested by the State in flooding prevention even after the floods last year.

Man hands changing the weather
El Niño effects. Praying for the people in RS
I dont know if we should still call it El Niño. Maybe we should call it El Adulto.
El Niño usualy dries Brazil, specially in the northern region, even increasing the fires in the amazon region, the southern region is usually "untouched" by it, what happend is that when El Niño ceased, La Niña started and it is the opposite of it, the surface of the pacific gets a lot colder changing wind direction affecting the climate of the southrn cone of the continent, which brings a lot of unseasoned rain and colder weather and even the north gets a bit colder with it.
It is more than ele niño. El niño is natural phenomenon that exists for centuries.
Thanks❤️
Haarp, artificial rain
The state of Rio Grande do Sul did absolutely nothing, even with clear warnings since last year. Right now there is nothing to do to prevent, the only possibility is to wait untill rains stop and make sure to pay the population for their losses (most of them lost everything, and there are whole families still not found). It's really sad, I can't even watch the rescue videos or any video showing the amount of water anymore. Many farm animals were found dead when the level of water came down those last 2 days. Today the rain comes back and it's still unkown when it's gonna stop.
@_MarianaSilva_ 😢 😢😢 just wanted to say that I am praying for everyone there because of this devastating flood. And the great loss that is happening right now. I will pray everyday in hopes that people will unite together in prayer. And take things one day at a time remembering that there isn’t anything impossible with God Almighty. And the power of prayer 🙏

More heat due to global warming = more water evaporation in the oceans = more clouds in the sky = more rainfall = more floods overall
The last flood with such magnitude happened in 1941. This just proves that climate didn't change since then.

@@Real46 Lets see next year.
Ok..when the frequency of flooding becomes annually come back and say that again.@@Real46
No, it is a lack of minimum prevention infrastructure.
what can you do about this disaster anyway...... ! 3 meters of water everywhere. even if you are higher you don't have food, electricity, clean water ...... a real nightmare. makes me very sad for all the people and animals there.
Thanks ❤
Reallly I don't think they can do anything about it other than wait
Someplaces it reached the record of 5 meters. Unbelievable.
It is impossible to adapt quickly enough to the accelerating rate of climate change. Now it is like Russian roulette.
I came to the conclusion that most people are unable to understand a non linear function. They are unable to understand that things speed up. That will cost manymore lives.
It's not like Russian roulette, I disagree. Russian roulette is basically unpredictable, matter of chance. Here the results are predictable, and even more - predicted. Scientist were warning for decades - DO NOT cut down the raiforest. Nobody listened.
Agreed!!!
The world needs to unite because this change affects everyone, it's only a matter of time who gets hit the worst.
@@MeneTekelUpharsinlol a lot of powerful people thank you for your cooperation.

State and municipal authorities did not use the budget available to tackle floods. Your reporter ignores this while answering the questions.
Yep, this is an state issue rather than a national one; things only got this bad cause the local government wasn’t and still isn’t properly using the funds available.
I was going to say exactly that. He didnt prepared so well for this interview.
I'm Brazilian and I'm going to tell you guys a little bit about how devastating this is being
A man who was rescuing children was on a boat when he saw something that looked like "a doll", but when he got closer, it wasn't a doll, it was a dead baby floating in the water. A family was found dead hugging each other. I don't think I need to say anything more, this all speaks for itself.
I live in one of the affected cities, and an elderly neighbor was found dead still hugging the tree he climbed to survive the flood.

As a Braziian, it´s too late fo fix anything. But we should start making big changes and getting adapted right now because that´s become a norm.
Far more than 100k displaced… I live amidst that chaos and can assure these figures are not up to date
In Holland we build Dyks to safe our country, Brasil only building skyscrapers and Football stadions . Wont help with floods . Everybody keep strong and dont blaim Climat change build Dyks
Exactly 😢
Please, by all means bring your expertise here and build. Your country and all the developed world get rich by heating the earth and by the resources of the colonies. It's not time to payback?
Porto Alegre metro has more than 100km of dikes. The capital alone has 16 pluvial pumps. The rain was severe.
Certamente você não está tentando comparar A extensão do Brasil com a Holanda . Provavelmente o número de diques construídos no Brasil para prevenir alagamentos e enchentes deve superar dezenas, talvez centenas de vezes O número de holandeses construído com o mesmo objetivo . Obviamente não com a mesma sofisticação , com rodovias e ciclovias sobre as estruturas, até porque a natureza das inundações No Brasil, na maioria das vezes é fluvial. Enquanto a Holanda enfrenta o problema de estar abaixo do nível do mar. Certamente os governos federal estadual poderiam fazer melhor. mas comparar essa questão com a construção de edifícios e estádios de futebol é uma ingenuidade que parte de um estereótipo que não é verdadeiro.
Build dyks or dikes? dikes
a long wall or embankment built to prevent flooding from the sea.
Get your mind out of the gutter!
Every place in every country should have a law that before anyone buys property or builds on their property they have the right to easily find out from government agencies whether the land is on a flood plain and whether the land could end up being on a flood plain in future due to climate change.
I suspect that the vast majority of people living on flood plains have no idea that they are living on a flood plain.
It's just a ridiculous waste of resources for governments to look the other way as people build homes that are likely to eventually be destroyed in a flood.
Don't know bout the rest of the world but in Germany we have maps for it. But people often didn't care enough. Also, those maps are based on data which does not include the increased air temperature. In the 21 flood in my area century old houses vanished.
We don't even have zoning laws, brother. This wouldn't have happened in a sane country KEKW
The whole state is under the water.
They knew it, they counted on their tax paid government to protect their capital from such floodings given the prior warnings from scientist that study the area due to prior floods, that were much less severe than this one. If you lived your hole life in a city and nothing like this happens to this extent, you just stay there, this isn't a single area that is prompt for flooding, it's state wide, many cities are completely covered in water up to the roof of houses, some are partially covered and lost electricity and water treatment, bridges have collapsed isolating parts of the state. It's utter disaster. Worst of all, is winter is approaching in the southern hemisphere as summer reaches the northern hemisphere, which means that according to the climate predictions for the week, it will be 10 degree Celsius by wendsday, the people without electricity in flooded areas will freeze to death if they aren't rescued or if the area isn't completely fixed by then.
that area is not a flood plain, this is an unprecedented event, never in known history has it rained so much in such short time. it's an effect of climate change.
It's flooding in Nairobi also surprised it's the same that far off
Solar storms affect the whole planet. Also in Texas.
The poor are always suffering the sins of the rich.
Hello from Porto Alegre, rio grande do sul. Rich countries that emit more gases should pay for our reconstruction. Brazil has one of the cleanest power grid in the world. We are not the guilty ones!!!
Ohhhh please 🤦♀️
Like it or not, it is true. 93% (CCEE 2023) of our energy comes from clean, renewable sources. My state alone, in the Northeast, is responsible for the largest production of wind energy in the country.
Brazil has the fastest deforestation ratio worldwide...Brazil should pay fine to united nation for worldwide natural disaster
Most of the countries are guilty including Brazil. Point the finger at develop countries won't fade away the floods and the global hunger.
And yet people are still moving to places like Florida, which has practically no high ground.
This is the core of the problem. People are surprised. Nobody told them, what they should have found out themselves before. Founding an existence on flood sediments means to build on a ground that has been flooded extensively. Of course, we can't blame all those who already have been born in an environment like this. And I also admit that we would have to give up lots and lots of scarce living space if we would try to avoid all dangers. Water is just one of those threats.
O Sul do meu país está em lágrimas 😢😢🇧🇷
Regarding Porto Alegre, experts have said that the infrastructure designed for preventing floods was not properly fixed, let alone improved, during the last decades. In fact, part of the structure collapsed during the torrential rains. Federal government can obviously plan actions to help preventing this kind of situation, but local authorities (mayors and Rio Grande do Sul governor) are way more responsible for fixing and improving these structures.
Just to add to the reporter in Porto Alegre, Brasil is a Federation, there are three spheres of government involved in the rescue and planning, federal, state and counties. The federal government did send resources and budget to the state of Rio Grande do Sul to prepare and mitigate further disasters after the last two floodings in the last 8 months alone. But the state's governor, who is from the opposition did nothing with that aid. He also dismantled several state environmental laws since he came into office, so he's deep into this mud himself. I can only hope we finally learn something after the catastrophe. 🙏🏻
Yeah, to never vote on the Left again(since the governor is from PSDB, a leftist party).
yea, right on point. I got the impression the "journalist" was trying hard to blame the Federal Government in some way, but without seeming too obviously critical. Maybe he thought he could make it seem like this mess is Lula's responsibility to fix since he'd be speaking mainly to foreigners who don't know how Brazil's federative units work... or maybe he just expressed himself poorly. Either way he may have conveyed the wrong message to the audience
Você acha que em 8 meses iria fazer algo? Vc acha que o Brasil é um Japão da vida, iria levar anos para fazer algo descente e não meia boca, seja honesto, não seja puxa saco de ladrão
É claro que o Governo Federal pode até não ser culpado por um desastre natural. No entanto foi o que menos ajudou. Liderados pelo maior corrupto que este país já viu, não esperávamos mais desse bando de incompetentes que formam o governo. A maior parte dos esforços foi a própria população que providenciou.
What a lie. Federal is doing nothing because they have no money… corruption is killing Brazil again
It's here in Brazil, but only in one of the Southern states (Rio Grande do Sul), the other two (Santa catarina and Paraná) haven't been damaged by heavy storms so far. Anyway, this is quite sad and heartbreaking.
Na Argentina e no Uruguai acho q só 1 cidade foi afetada
This tragedy could have been avoided, if it were not for the negligence and lack of prioritization of the city's representatives regarding the maintenance and hiring of specialized personnel for periodic maintenance and renovation of the dikes. Now with the destruction and death of people, they should be held criminally responsible!
Have your emergency backpack ready 💜
Time to become a prepper.
It's important to mention that Eduardo Leite, the State government received budget for prevention and instead of investing it to avoid disasters, he used this budget in other places. He also disagree with climate change and modified the Environmental Rules on Rio Grande do Sul, what affected directly the way how we face this type of problem.
Would it rain less if he hadn't done this?
THOSE WHO ARE HELPING ARE THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES WITH THEIR UNITY AND LOVE FOR OTHERS, COME HERE AND SEE THIS!
Scientist : I told u so
There are much much much more deaths than 80 … many more. The government is super late and slow to help. Most rescues (more than 60%) has been made by the locals and civilians on their own boats and jetskies. It’s a tragedy that has not gotten all the help they need from the bad government we have here. It’s super sad.

It's still terrible here. People are stealing from flooded houses, there's a lot of help needed.
This president is doing nothing for the people affected by this tragedy. It's the people who are really helping
The government is working very poorly, but the population is showing how it's done
More forests mean less runoff. Deforistation also contributes to floods.

You have no idea of how incompetently the government is dealing with this disaster.
This flood came to prove how useless are the government and the state in preventing and in doing something about this whole situation. This is a terrible shame!
not even a mention of halting deforestation and doing vast reforestation to restore natural systems as the best prevention
actually deforestation in the amazon would decrease such floods, i kid you not

Nations encouraged to take from nature what the Europeans already extinguished in their own land.

Mass migration is already taking place in the region. Soon they will start arriving in other cities, because they have lost everything. It's an old infrastructure problem, but now the rains are more frequent.
Only after it becomes an inconvenience for the rich, as it usually goes.
The true heroes are civilians, who are rescuing and Volunteering, those who can’t help in frontline, help with donations.
The people are the true hero here, not government and mostly the president…
Governments aren’t able to handle these situations - we have to help each other in any way we can, we’re all in trouble.
just for reference, the white thing @2:32 is a bus stop roof.
Every year the same thing happens in many states of Brazil. Governors know the issue, but they choose not to do anything significant. All they want is votes.
Most of the help in the south of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, is made from people to the people, the government took almost 4 days to take serious active help and also the government refused the help from Urugai that offered boats, helicopters, and people to help in the situation
The government seems to want to take the credit for doing things, that the people did and are still doing way more than the government
The truth is: people saved people, entrepreneurs and business men that use their money, helicopters, boats, to save people and animals from underwater and the effort from all brazilian people from whole Brazil and exterior that sent money donations, plus donations. Honored people riches and poor that working near 20 hours per day evan more. Plus the amazing people from others countries that help us. We are very thankful for all help. Together we are more strong!!!
So sad. This is an example of how we all could've spent our money and efforts to possibly prevent these climate catastrophes instead of having to deal with the aftermath. Almost every country will be affected by these climate events more often in the future I fear.
人类需要团结一致应对全球性的危机。
What is happening in Rio Grande do Sul only shows up the fact that we have failed in our proposals of stopping global warming. From now on we have to face the consequences that will get worse and worse.

NYC did flood recently. So did many coastal cities.
I am Brazilian and I can honestly say that local reporter Gustavo Basso omits the fact that the local government of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, implemented several public policies against the environment in 2019. Regarding rescues and assistance to victims, Gustavo Basso omits the fact that the local, state and municipal governments have made drastic cuts in public service. As an example, the municipal civil defense of Porto Alegre is made up of just 8 employees to serve a population of more than 1.5 million

A verdade é que estamos abandonados, se não fossem doações e voluntários estariamos perdidos governadores, foram negligentes como sempre, ignoraram dados, fatos e avisos científicos, apenas contaram com a sorte, este é o Brasil, é rico em tudo, mas aqui os governantes estão tão preocupados em roubar dinheiro público e economizar para que sobre cada vez mais para eles fazerem suas lavagens de dinheiro, que vivemos na mais absolutamente insegurança e caos, sempre foi assim e continua sendo, despreparo, negligência, corrupção, incompetência, caos, é isso que infelizmente se resume o governo brasileiro, é absurdo o nível de incompetência desses homens
Isso não é o Brasil, isso é o mundo. Lugar nenhum está preparado pra lidar com desastres dessa magnitude. Fora que é muito caro e se daqui a dez anos algum governador quiser investir em infraestrutura contra enchentes pode apostar que o povo vai reclamar que não estão investindo em estradas ou em hospitais, é sempre assim.
@@thevinisovejo diversos países tomando medidas de precaução, só ver que a china criou ate cidades esponja. O Japão tem predios anti terremotos e por aí vai! Não tente passar pano para a clara ineficiência do estado brasileiro que nada faz por nós. Só ver que os dados e alertas dos cientistas foram ignorados.
We Brazilian thanks for the empathy fortunately we are very good in help each other and will eventually pass this , pls look for people in Gaza who can’t help themselves.
Yeah something really bad is happening in Rio Grande do Sul and the government and the president of Brazil is doing absolutely nothing for helping people from there
It’s doubtful that the Brazilian government or any government can do much to even contain damage from weather events. The exception of course is to avoid cloud seeding. Perhaps these Brazilian cities like those in China do not have adequate drainage systems.
as chuvas daqui do Brasil são muito fortes msm que tenha projetos não irá ser o suficiente pra conter elas
half the state is underwater, including rural areas
Have you heard of the Netherlands?
It's notorious how the Brazilian government incompetence has been clearly revealed upon this horrifying moment. The question is why haven't they tried to do anything to prevent this predictable disaster from happening earlier? Several proceedures could've been done prior to this massive flood that has taken place there, but not even a penny was spent to do it so, which is such a deplorable thing. In addition to that, I have to point out how shameful it is to see a president come out and say that it's a natural accident or something, when in fact we all know that nature has nothing to do with it, due to the undeniable fact that it's basically running its own course.
Good people of Porto Alegre....you live in an estuary and you are shocked by this condition of flooding??
The south of Brazil is very rocky and the city was built on a rock plateau. Many cities are under water right now and the water is trapped. Its taking forever to the raining water to be drained.
I'm from there. The city of Porto Alegre was hit by a similar flood in 1941.
exactly. no global warming..... just earth cycles. in 1870 also happens similar level of water in Porto Alegre.
@@x.trailcwb1546 the global warming is a fact. it's not posible to deny that.
@@x.trailcwb1546 It is clear that there is global warming. Look at the temperature averages globally.
It shows poor infrastructures, inadequate funds being made toward improvements and lack of management.
The true.
And impervious clay soil deprived of forestation that helps with drainage..
Liberalismo na prática, tá seguindo o rumo do Haiti
@@generalbenjaminarrola340 O Haiti é tudo menos liberal e capitalista. E é justamente por isso que é pobre.
this has absolutely nothing to do with poor infrastructure. This only shows that people have built in lower places than they should
It's sad what's happening to our Brazil, that's not normal for me😢
Brazilian here! I would like to say: thank you to all of you guys who are praying for this flood to end, since Rio Grande do Sul is one of the most developed states here in our country. The worst part of this entire situation, is the fact that it's affecting other states that are close to Rio Grande do Sul. This flood really needs to end, since, it can affect other states, and create more chaos in other regions of our country. Peace, guys!

Several days after the start of the unprecedented disaster in Rio Grande do Sul, the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) warns of the lack of effective support from the federal government for municipal managers and assistance to the population. The number of deaths has not yet been recorded as the water in many regions has not yet receded and it continues to rain in the state. 147 thousand homeless, according to data from the State Civil Defense. Regarding homeless and missing people, the data reported by the Municipalities reveals a dramatic situation. There are more than 283 thousand homeless. And what we have so far are promises, bureaucracy and a population that resists through its own efforts and the current of solidarity.
A situação aqui está séria 😢
O Sul é um dos maiores produtores do país e o maior exportador.
Orem por nós 🙌🏼
Vamos sair dessa,creiamos.🙏
I'm in Rio Grande do Sul at the moment. Just one observation to reporter Gustavo's statement is necessary: of course there are hundreds of volunteers providing invaluable work, but the Leite and Lula governments are providing all the support, be it through the police, fire brigade, armed forces, in short, there is a gigantic amount of personnel and aircraft, vessels, etc. that are being used by the Brazilian and Rio Grande do Sul governments to aid and rescue the victims. Therefore, it is not one hundred percent correct to say that only voluntary work was being used in the tragedy.
Meu Deus, nem numa tragédia dessa vocês não perdem a oportunidade de dar crédito a essa entidade demoníaca que é o governo. É um sadomasoquismo diabólico impossível de entender. Parece que a preocupação é só em validar o voto que fez.
I agree. ! The government is doing it's best . They can't do a miracle in
2 days....!!
Não foi isso que vi no telegram
E desde quando telegram é lugar de fonte confiável? Hahahha@@tatianaromanov7689
BHA!!!!!!!!!! bota apoio nisso
Sadly, it is now too little, FAR TOO LATE as the “new normal extreme weather” that was predicted has now become a regular occurrence due to inaction on reducing global warming emissions🥲😡. Still governments and societies are not increasing their “war effort” to quickly make the changes that will prevent climate change from growing even worse coupled with an ever growing world population, the limited options of moving to less vulnerable areas becomes much more difficult.😣
Don't boo Vote blue 😃
sadly people won't save the planet. they could, but they won't. and it's incredibly sad, because we could save it now, but there's nowhere near enough people who care. people either don't care, or they think it's a joke because they are always so used to seeing memes online everyday so they associate everything as a joke.
upstream theres rainforest retaining excess rainwater throughout history and now its farmland , downstream excess rainwater overflow the banks of the river and flood ensues
Nonsense. Take a look at the map of Rio Grande do Sul and you will see that the area of the rainfall is mostly forests. No forests will absorb that amount of water, and the areas flooded are the low ground ones.
Rainforest in a subtropical grassland? Are you kidding, right?
Even if they decide to execute a rebuild project, it would take years of not a decade to complete and by that time we'd have already been hit by another disaster,
either by another flood in another state, or by a massive tornado, temperature increase or decrease could destabilize once again our economy and life sustain,
i'ts a terrible thing to see and it pains me, i was born in Porto Alegre, i got lucky to move to a higher (literally) city in Alvorada, but like our journalist said, the city has
lots of rivers and lakes inside and with the coming days, it's expected to rain even more, so the regions that haven't been affected... i fear the worst is yet to happen.
At least the people are doing what they can even not experienced and are saving as much lives as they can and sheltering them to the best of their conditions.
I never thought i'd witness a city being submerged in my entire life and it's heartbreaking, more than anything i could ever imagine.
Sending you all many prayers 🙏🙏🙏 may God give you all the strength and Perseverance you need in this devastating situation.
It must be horrific. I hope they'll fix everything, asap.
Perhaps stopping clear-cutting the forest might help hold rain in the ground.
Perhaps not... Pure infraestructure problem.
Rio Grande do Sul is nowhere near the Amazon rainforest…
@@guntz-nga Florida is closer to Amazonia than Rio Grando do Sul.
Not dumping CO2 into the atmosphere holds rain out of the ski. We were advised of this in the 1970s and earlier. Its no secret what's happening everywhere. Trees are good too, everywhere...
@@guntz-nga That may well be the case - but a country with a record of this one exacts a hefty price on the ecology in so many other ways. Brazil seems to value money over stewardship when it comes to the biosphere.
We hear here that funds have been made available and nothing has been done. It seems those entrusted to do something aren't good enough to do their job. Have they at least called in experts and engineers from around the world to look at this matter?
We have enough experts in Brazil, thanks.
As matter of fact the volunteers and civilians are the ones that are really saving people in Brazil.
Only one degree separates water from evaporating or not. One more degree, and it may mean several billion tons of water evaporating. What goes up must come down.
We reap what we sow, sadly is true here
Few countries are innocent in their destruction of nature
Mr Gustavo Basso should be more clear about responsabilities in this case. Yes, it is an overwhealming situation but it was not the lack of initiatives from the Federal Government that led to this caos. In fact it was a byproduct of the misattention to the cricital alarms by the State Government (the governor of Rio Gande do Sul) and also the mayor of Porto Alegre. Both were warned weeks ago of the possibilities of a catastrophe but they did nothing. Mr Gustavo, with his commentaries, helps the idea that it was consequence of negligency coming from Federal Government but it was in fact something that could be prevented by the governor of the province of Rio Grande do Sul and the mayor of Porto Alegre. Instead, t they did nothing to prevent the catastrophe. Now they are running to fix the situation and only now they asked the help of the Predident.
That's it!!!
Dilma vetoed a major infrastructure project for the Taquari-Guaíba basin in 2010 to lack of money.
exactly
@@westleah5000 We had 14 years since then to do something about that, but no one did anything.
@@theviniso Building mega smart engineering projects would be very expensive, it would be easier to move cities.
And building the cities in other places is what they will. Government officials don't care about people, the more poor people drown, the fewer people they will need to compensate.
i was born there, i have walked on the streets when i was 10 to 20 years old ....today, i am watching this from Massachusetts, feeling sad because this is the city i have grown up
Sabe quem esta ajudando a população? O proprio povo.
Maybe they should stop destroying the amazon forest
Ninguém pode parar a destruição da amazonia ela é atacada em muitos pontos diferentes ......
a lot of the rain forest is still intact. and the amazon is nothern brazil. southern subtropical plains have little to do with that. longer dry spells in central brazil might be a consequence of southern amazon deforestation. this has a lot more to do with global warming (deforestation is but a small part of that. industrial activity is much more important) and el niño warming up the waters of the pacific and atlantic. when this meets the cold air coming from patagonia it results in very heavy rains. more rain than even well preserved local forest ans river can handle. stop using coal and oil and gas, please. and stop mining. stop making electronics that last only a year or two. stop moving so much stuff on ships and planes. and so on. brazil is responsible for very little of CO2 emissions. All the other top 10 economy contribute a lot more to global warming
@@lazyboy300El Nino does not warm Atlantic. The abnormal SST has other causes.
I hope that your ignorance is not so great that you allow yourself to know that there is no Amazon forest in the south of Brazil.
@@gehwissen3975 This happens due to atmospheric pressure system.
Rio Grande do Sul (South Brazil) is a low-pressure natural point, and at least three surrounding high-pressure points sent their moisture-laden winds converging toward the same first point.
Normally the moisture spreads to the rest of the continent and distributes the rain, but the high pressure point in the north is so strong that it forced a blockage in the path of the moisture, which caused intense rain at the same point. 600 mm of rain in an area the size of Switzerland.
Maybe, just maybe its finally time to take climate change seriously
Most of the people there will return and rebuild the same way and hope it doesn't happen again
I live in a very small city in the State of São Paulo in the Southeast of Brazil, as it is a calm city, it has become routine for planes to pass through here going straight to the South of Brazil to bring aid to the population. Yesterday a family friend said that he has a brother in Rio Grande do Sul and is in the affected areas. My other concern is the cold, here in Brazil, especially in the Southeast and South, it is natural for the cold to come out of season. And the cold here is very strong, may God bless and protect our brothers from Rio Grande do Sul.
Because in addition to Porto Alegre, other cities in the State of Rio Grande do Sul were also affected.
I'm in a safe place in Porto Alegre, but it started rain more and there is so many cities with around 3-6 meters, whole houses underwater, so many missing, so many pets died and are missing...
What the people needs to do in Brazil is to plant more trees 🌳 🌳🌳 and to take good care of the Mother Nature
Brazil needs infrastructure aid from BRICS-of which its a member. This has happened before in the country, but the infrastructure hasn't improved...as the report point out
Also, But this is just one of several problems.
@@icu17siberia We don't need foreign aid here. We have enough resources to deal with this. And Brazil should stay away from this BRICS.
Nonsense. Take a look at the map of Rio Grande do Sul and you will see that the area of the rainfall is mostly forests.
More trees? I think you don't know Brazil. In any city there are more trees than your entire country
