#floodings

The southern state of Brazil, my state, is literally underwater right now, thousands of people lost their homes, some died and some are missing due to heavy flooding. If you're in one of the affected areas, please be careful, pay attention to the news as some emergency numbers aren't working anymore, they're sharing new ones. Seek safe shelter, either with family members or the public ones. There's also a risk of dam failure, the Civil Defense is constantly updating on those, be aware to know when you have to evacuate the area. If you can help with donations or even sharing the news to get to more people, you're more than welcome. I'll leave some links showing how to help. Please be safe, it's a disaster out there! And no matter what your personal belief is, please pray for those people.

A look at Earth in 2050 if climate change isn't stopped

A series of pictures showing many major capital cities will become the Atlantis-under water.

Take a few examples:

Washington DC-the only thing still above water is a patch of the Lincoln Memorial Square as a lonely floating island.

Sydney Australia-the only thing still above water is a part of the Opera House-the shell roof.

You need to dive into Melbourne and Adelaide's international airports. You need submarines-NO MORE planes. And that glimpse of such reality had already happening during the great floodings in 2022. Don't need to wait till 2050.

New York-the only thing still above water is the liberty statute-literally only the statute.

Santa Monica-Carlifonia. If you catch up one of the 9-11 previous seasons, what happened after huge tsunami hit turning a giant theme park into a giant lake, that will be the new reality.

Havana Cuba-nothing will be above water surface.

Guangzhou, China-same.

London, UK-swim to St Paul's Catheral please!

White House-same.

In a nutshell, everywhere looks like Venice but everywhere is deep under the water. The only way of transport is submarine. Good luck! The reality is already happening NOW whenever you watch news of huge floodings anywhere.

How about those costal cities not mentined in these pictures? Likely they will be wiped out on the world map. Scientists need to dive under to search for the new lost cities.

Hi nonny.

Thank you for your concern. Yes, we have had heavy rains and storms yesterday in south and west Germany. I have seen videos of the floodings and it looks absolutely insane.

I live in north Germany near Bremen, so we have been spared.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

Long before the floods came, washing away hundreds of people and wiping out newly constructed dams and bridges, the warning signs were clear.

The Himalayas have been warming at an alarming rate for years, melting ice long trapped in glaciers, soil and rocks, elevating the risk of devastating floods and landslides, scientists warned. Nearby populations were vulnerable, they said, and the region’s ecosystem had become too fragile for large development projects.

But the Indian government overrode the objections of experts and the protests of local residents to blast rocks and build hydroelectric power projects in volatile areas like the one in the northern state of Uttarakhand, where disaster struck.

Officials said Monday that bodies of 26 victims had been recovered while the search proceeded for nearly 200 missing people. On Sunday a surge of water and debris went roaring down the steep mountain valleys of the Rishiganga river, erasing everything in its path. Most of the victims were workers on the power projects.
