History's Worst Floods | Code Red | Earth Stories

Recent studies on Tree Rings have been correlated with large Alaskan Volcanoes that are postulated to have caused massive drought in Egypt and the Levant and Greece from shifts in monsoons from extended La Niña patterns.

Sustainability scientist here, who was actually working at IUCN Asia when KPK in Pakistan passed its Billion Tree Tsunami goal. This is an absolutely fantastic documentary IMO, with its emphasis on the resilience of communities being a factor in how devastating a natural disaster will be. The examples are excellent, and the explanations of how various factors -- including over-development of river systems -- compound to create a greater disaster than it would have been otherwise I thought were very clear. Obviously it's hard to go into great detail in a 50 minute documentary, but I thought a lot of the complexity was well-conveyed, especially with the Mozambique example. That one, specifically, really starkly shows how human and planetary health are inextricably linked, and multiple compounding problems quickly have results that are way worse than just the sum of their parts. Really, really good, and I will be looking more deeply into the Pakistan and Mozambique floods as public health, resilience, and sustainability case studies.

Thank you for your input. And thanks for your commitment to such an important field of study.

every time i feel like complaining about my troubles i find out somebody's got it much worse then i do . the little kid in the arms of his father 11:07 looks into the camera like he is mad at the the camera man for photographing him in his moment of pain maybe his house was flooded and he might have lost a brother or sister or his mother in any case he is NOT!!!!!! HAPPY TO BE IN THAT SPOT

When we have to pay for knowledge, the knowledge is lost to those who don't know how to use it. Just know how to make money off it. And the population suffers.

[@baileyantonengpei7860]

We are over populated & overwhelmed

[@eurodara]

2010 was a really rough year, Europe had big floods too

[@5837654932]

And the floods of the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s?

[@angusosborne3151]

can we better prepare for floods? yes. will it work? no.

[@ajdogcurr1]

those countries like Pakistan should educate their populations so that they will not be ignorant to what deforesting the land can cause. Activities of humankind can impact the environment to the point of causing floods to be worse. But I do not believe that burning fossil fuels cause climate change. The climate has always been changing and will continue to change foever no matter what humans do.

Who cares about pakistan

[@Ansset0]

One example after another.. we do not have enough food for five our children... Sure, lets make another eight.. 🤦🤮 Condoms can really save milions. Nature loves balance and will always tend to keep it, one way or another. Animal population can only grow if resources are abundant. People should learn.

[@caterinabyrne380]

...any disasters that you have prevented so far????💥💥💥

[@5837654932]

We blame Corp of Engineers and Developers here in Louisiana for the floods in 2016 and Katrina!

[@Ansset0]

Not living below sea level and not evacuating when advised / ordered to do so.. 😂

I spent a few days in Pakistan in 1977 en route to Indla from Afghanistan. It was crowded, filthy, and the people were rude assholes (most Muslims are). By far the worst country I've been to. Watching this, I can't feel much sympathy.

[@purplesnowqueen12396]

That experience sucks. But I think there are assholes in every culture. just like there are kind and good people in those cultures also.

[@australien6611]

@@purplesnowqueen12396 true but its also true that some cultures are just ruder than others. Japanese are extremely polite and clean and Pakistanis are rude and filthy

I have a solution to the population explosion problem: educate women, and provide free or low-cost birth control to impoverished countries.

[@lacey3880]

Floods n Pakistan, were caused, by dams etc.. locals had no say!!!

🙏 Mar 23 /23 WE CREATE HOUSES WITH EARTH - SAND - BRICKS, TAKEN FROM THE EARTH. TODAY ONLY WHAT WE TAKE IT MUST RETURN TO THE LAND, RIGHT ???

[@stantonsteed1957]

You need a emergency flood tanks and make rivers deeper

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

These things are true, but they are costly, and many areas lack resources. Hopefully wealthier countries like mine (and maybe yours?) will look into assisting with prevention instead of only coming in to assist when disaster has already occurred, but that requires educating voters on the global benefits.

[@toniburton7905]

You can survive if wealthy

[@hollypeters5094]

What if global warming isn't due to the burning of fossil fuels? But rather the earth has been continually warming as part of its recovery from the global flood thats talked about in the Bible. It all depends on who you put your trust in.
