🚨 Southern Brazil was recently hit by severe flooding that caused widespread devastation, but according to a team of international scientists, climate change played a significant role in making these floods twice as likely. 💧🔬 The heavy rains didn’t just stop at unprecedented levels; they were also intensified by the natural El Niño phenomenon, which often brings about extreme weather patterns. 🌦️🌊 As the global climate continues to shift, such extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, posing serious challenges to communities and ecosystems alike. Experts emphasize the urgent need for comprehensive climate action to mitigate these increasingly frequent and intense natural disasters.
