Almost 100 people have died in landslides and flash flooding in the Brazilian city of Petrópolis, officials say.
The city, which is located in the mountains north of Rio de Janeiro, was hit by torrential rainfall.
Houses in hillside neighbourhoods were destroyed and cars swept away as floodwaters raced through the city’s streets.
Search and rescue teams are combing the mud for survivors.

The Climate Waits for No One
Thirty years ago, a friend of mine got into the green energy business and tried to pull me into it. I asked him what for, it isn’t serious. He said, “You have no idea how much money is being poured into it. Everyone wants in on it, politicians, financiers, businesspeople, the lot.” He was right, of course. Yet, no one wants to promote green energy in order to save the planet, but only to swell up their pockets even more. The declarations, therefore, remain in the assembly hall where they are stated, necessary actions are ignored, and the climate waits for no one: It will keep deteriorating.
This week in Glasgow, Scotland, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference is taking place. Officially, it aims to “bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.” In reality, the countries plan to do the exact opposite. This year’s UN Production Gap Report, which tracks the discrepancy between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and actual global production levels, states the following: “Despite increased climate ambitions and net-zero commitments, governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than what would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C [2.7°F].”
Energy sources and technologies do change, but not according to what is best for the planet. It changes according to the interests of politicians and money moguls, and it never benefits the planet or the majority of its inhabitants, namely all of us.
Since the climate waits for no one, eventually, it will catch up with us. Earth is a closed system, and in a closed system, there are consequences to exploitation: it hurts the abuser as well as the abused.
I don’t know when or at what cost, but eventually, we will all have to realize that we cannot take beyond what we need. We cannot keep exploiting Earth selfishly and thoughtlessly because it will turn against us.
Earth is like a submarine: there is only so much oxygen on board. If some crew members take more than their quota, the rest will not have enough, they will die, and the submarine will sink along with those who exceeded their quota.
We need constant reminders that we are one system, and we are all dependent on each other. We need to genuinely grasp that selfishness hurts us just as being exploitative hurts others. If we constantly remind ourselves that we are interdependent, we will behave with more consideration, and we will avoid the punitive impact of climate change.
The other option is to keep working as the UN’s Production Gap Report states that we are planning to work, and suffer nature’s unforgiving response. I hope we wise up in time because everyone will pay the price for this mistake..

My prayer and condolences for the victims and survivors. This is the time to open your eyes and read this verse this has about to do with what happened. Deuteronomy 18, 9 through 14. "When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you should not learn to follow the abominable practices of those Nations. There shall not be found among you who burns his son or daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a saucerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the Dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord . And because these abominations your God is driving them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. ".. candomble, black magic ,voodoo will be punished severely by the Almighty. We must be sensitive to God's feelings he truly hates those practices, so don't underestimate his anger and fury. I pray for your country in the name of Jesus Christ.

Hello From Brasil
0:12 'Metropolis' ?? A large city??
Sou engenheiro civil, morador no centro cidade, participei dos resgates nas tragédias anteriores e de muitas obras de recuperação de Petrópolis. O grande problema do município, como outros em nosso país, é a ocupação desordenada, somando-se a inoperância, negligência e, na maioria das vezes, cumplicidade do poder público que não fiscaliza e intervém nas áreas de risco. Existe uma espécie de conluio, de acerto entre os agentes políticos e os invasores (“corretores” de áreas impróprias), que se tornam líderes comunitários, cabos eleitorais e novos agentes políticos, fazendo com que as irregularidades se multipliquem e, a cada chuva mais intensa, a tragédia aumente. Petrópolis precisa de algum tipo de intervenção federal, precisa limpar toda a lama e lixo da administração pública, que se mantém há décadas produzindo este espetáculo macabro. A atual administração, que só tomou posse há pouco tempo, devido processos de improbidade administrativa, é mais do mesmo lixo e lama que emporcalham o município. Isso aqui é como a indústria da seca do Nordeste, é a indústria da catástrofe, da calamidade pública.

However the people prefer stay there than live far from there in a safe place.
Deepest condolences to the family/friends who has lost their loved ones.
