  2. This is only going to happen more if the government keeps blindly approving more fossil fuel projects sadly. Too bad the government is so deep in the fossil fuel companies pockets

  5. France 🇫🇷 condemns Russia 🇷🇺 but supports Israel 🇮🇱 war crimes in Palestine 🇵🇸

    Double standards France 🇫🇷
    Free Palestine 🇵🇸

  7. Corrupt property developers built estates on a flood plain while funding a political party that "climate change is a lie".

  9. The birthing pains have started and have always been happening

    We have been warned for 2,000 years

    This is the end people it is almost here a reckoning for the sin we have dedicated our lives to and the evil that rules over the world

    Recognize this please understand our world cannot be saved without god without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross we are doomed ,doomed ,doomed, doomed there is nothing we can do to help it otherwise

    Wars erupting , famines growing , distain amongst the nation ,all sexual abominations

    Everything is pointing to the end why are you not looking at what is coming and is already here !!

    If nothing more than save yourself if others will not hear it

  11. At the beginning of the summer in Australia weather people warned the public to expect extreme temperatures and drought due to global warming. We can see ourselves clear evidence of the drought.

  12. This is some of the strangest voice-over I've heard in a long time. They can't even pronounce Wollongong. Seriously guys, this is embarrassing for DW. If you can't even pronounce the name of the location you're reporting on it becomes obvious that you've never been there and hard to take any of the reporting seriously.

  15. Take care down there. Hey can government limit the houses build in flood zones or put in some adequate infrastructure to reduce bad floods?

  19. Yeah, narh, didn't you get the advice from the buro of meteorology! The East Coast is suffering a drought this year due to climate change 😅😂, so the government is investing in solar panels? 😢

  23. There is a need for warning system to alert common people about natural disasters in the world. Natural disaster prediction center should also expand. This year alone there will many earthquakes and floods coming. Be alert and be prepared.
