🇧🇷 Rains, destruction, and deaths in the south of Brazil demand a new term to define a climate catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands were displaced in Rio Grande do Sul, #Brazil's southernmost state. This is the same state that endured three climate disasters in 2023 alone. 🧵
Since the publication of this story on May 7, the worst natural disaster in the history of #RioGrandedoSul has registered 100 dead, 128 disappeared, and over 1.4M affected. Sums that seem underreported when one sees the images of entire cities underwater.
