Brazil Cyclone: Intense storm, floods and landslides Kill several people in Southern Brazil

Brazil has become the latest country to face the nature’s fury.

Torrential rain and winds caused by an extratropical cyclone have left at least 21 people dead in southern Brazil.

Officials have warned that more floods may be coming very soon in several other parts of the country.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has said that the federal government is ready to help and to provide any sort of assistance that would be needed to rebuild communities.

More than 3,700 people were also forced from their homes by the storms, which started on Monday, dumping hail and more than 30cm of rain on the state in less than 24 hours and triggering floods and landslides.

In Mucum, a small town of 5,000 people, hundreds had to be rescued from their rooftops as the Taquari river flooded more than 85 per cent of the city.

Rescuers had to use helicopters to reach isolated areas cut off by flooding.

Hundreds of people in the state are still without contact.

The severe weather, which began Monday, led to significant damage, with over 6,000 people displaced from their homes due to intense rain, landslides, and flooding.

As Thursday night descended upon Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul (RHee-oo Grahnd-ee doo Soohl) state, the toll of lives lost due to heavy rains surged to 29, while an alarming count of 60 individuals remained missing, as reported by the state's civil defence agency. This stark escalation in casualties comes in stark contrast to the agency's earlier report released at noon, which had documented 13 fatalities and 21 individuals reported missing.

Global Deforestation Increased 3.2% in 2023 Despite Tropical Forest Loss Decreasing

Global Deforestation Increased, 3.2% in 2023 Despite , Tropical Forest Loss Decreasing . Fox News reports that the global loss of primary forests in the world's tropics declined slightly in 2023 compared to the year before. According to Global Forest Watch researchers, the world lost about 14,000 square miles of tropical primary forest, sometimes referred to as old-growth forests, in 2023. Global Forest Watch (GFW) director Mikaela Weisse warns that declining losses in Colombia and Brazil were mostly offset by increased losses in other places. The world took two steps forward, two steps back, Mikaela Weisse, Global Forest Watch (GFW) director, via Fox News. Fox News reports that scientists consider tropical primary forests to be treasure troves of biodiversity, with the Amazon rainforest home to an estimated 10% of Earth's known species. According to Weisse, tropical primary forest losses in 2023 caused greenhouse gas emissions equal to half of the United States' annual fossil fuel emissions. According to Weisse, tropical primary forest losses in 2023 caused greenhouse gas emissions equal to half of the United States' annual fossil fuel emissions. The GFW found that Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Bolivia topped the list of tropical nations with the most primary forest losses. . Despite remaining on top of the list, forest loss in Brazil fell 36% as a result of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's aggressive conservation policies. . At the same time, Colombia experienced a 49% decline in forest loss amid President Gustavo Petro's environmental preservation efforts. Overall, beyond just tropical primary forest loss, , global deforestation , rose 3.2% in 2023.
