Climate alarm for Brazil. Extreme weather is getting worse, the current floods in Rio Grande do Sul have made millions homeless and killed 200 people. According to the UN, Brazil already has 750,000 internal climate refugees, a number set to rise sharply. https://nos.nl/l/2521499 #ClimateChange#extremeweather#floods#brazil
The situation in Germany's #Saarland region right now is giving me a strong deja vu from three years ago, when another hilly area experienced unusually heavy rainfall that lead to devastating floods. I really hope we don't see the same kind of disaster happen as we did in the Ahrtal 2021. At least residents and emergency services should be sensitized to what could happen.
#ClimateDiary I am not sure whether people elsewhere habe really grasped just how devastating the recent #Floods i. #Kenya were.
By the latest count, devastating torrential rains, floods and landslides in Kenya have killed at least 228 people since March and displaced nearly 200,000 people. https://mas.to/@rachelstrohm/112451993799960019
Water, water everywhere, & not a [safe] drop to drink. More rain & flooding to come. Compound #catastrophes become very expensive.
"The city of 1.3 million inhabitants has been almost totally cut off by the #floods.
An estimated 80% of its population do not have access to running #water after five of the city's six water treatment plants ceased working.
Suzan, a resident of Porto Alegre, said that people in the city had "never experienced anything like it".
Both #floods and #drought.
Pass my soapbox. In spite of certain badly-worded commentaries, this planet has no shortage of water. We have shortage of potable water and water for irrigation, and water being inconveniently placed. The first can be addressed by technologies old and new, if the political will were applied. The second makes me cross. Water is vital; petroleum is merely useful - so why do petroleum pipelines cross continents but we don't transport water? https://climate.copernicus.eu/precipitation-relative-humidity-and-soil-moisture-april-2024?utm_id=cb-april-24
