Yall need to study geology better in the south. Just build shit where it doesn’t flood. I love seeing these flooded out Tennessee towns right at the bottom of beautiful hills. Don’t build on the hills, no! Rebuild in the river valley and then cry about flooding again.
The difference between us is that I am not shocked when floodzones flood, forest fires burn, and landslides slide. The only “unnatural” change in the environment is fucking people. We turn swamps into cities and then cry tragedy when they turn back into swamps. We build cities in deserts and cry that there is not enough water. We overpopulated the planet and then complain that it is killing us. We are the problem. Nature is just doing what nature has always done. The nature of Nature is change.
You’re being downvoted because there is a perceived indifference to the suffering of others. Compartmentalizing that, you are 100% correct. Don’t build civilizations in areas prone to natural disasters. The original post still holds though. If the mountains are flooding, where is safe anymore?
Brazil have been known as a really stable place without extreme climate events, but this year we had one of the worst floods on the history of the country that got all the insurance industry with their pants down. And now everyone is having to re model their assumptions and the re insurance rates went to the roof.
Brazil is a gigantic bowl catching the wet air coming in from the Atlantic. Ofc it floods. You’re only feeling it now because deforestation is out of control and surprise! Those forests protected the rest of the area from the worst of the floods.

I hope you’re treated with the exact amount of compassion you’re showing here when climate change affects your home.
Excuse me while I laugh in Californian wildfires.
