A catastrophe caused by floods devastated the stat

A catastrophe caused by floods devastated the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. Due to the association of a cold front, with moisture coming from the Atlantic Ocean and a high pressure barrier in the central region of Brazil, which prevented the cold front from continuing towards the north of the country, there was excess rainfall in Rio Grande do Sul , which rained between April 24th and May 4th, accumulating 420 mm, while the annual average is around 1500 mm. In the image it is possible to compare the Jacuí Delta, close to the city of Porto Alegre, before and after this occurrence.

Aerial representation of the melting of a glacier in Greenland.

A study published in the journal Nature reports that the Greenland ice cap loses an average of 30 million tons of ice per hour due to the climate crisis, a number 20% higher than previously thought. As a result, there is concern that this additional source of freshwater will flow into the North Atlantic, which could cause a collapse of ocean currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), bringing consequences for humanity (decreased thermohaline circulation).
