This is VERY fucked up.
Fires burn on a farm near environmentally protected land in Sao Paulo state on Aug. 24.
The Country That Makes Breakfast for the World Is Plagued by Fire, Frost and Drought
Brazil’s crops have been scorched, frozen and then dried out by the worst drought in a century, upending global commodity markets.
No country on Earth puts more breakfasts on kitchen tables than Brazil.
The farms that dot the vast plains and highlands that rise above the Atlantic coast produce four-fifths of the world’s orange juice exports, half of its sugar exports, a third of coffee exports and a third of the soy and corn used to feed egg-laying hens and other livestock.
So when the region’s crops were scorched and then frozen this year by a devastating one-two punch fueled by climate change — the worst drought in a century followed by an unprecedented Antarctic front that repeatedly coated the land in thick frost — global commodity markets shook.
Brazil's extreme weather is pushing coffee prices higher.
The cost of Arabica beans soared 30% over a six-day stretch in late July; orange juice jumped 20% in three weeks; and sugar hit a four-year high in August.
That was written in September ^
This is happening right now
Ten water dams are being monitored for risk of bursting in Brazil after heavy rains in the country’s northeast killed at least 18 people and forced over 16,000 more to flee their homes in what local authorities are calling the worst flooding in decades
.
BRASILIA, Brazil — Two dams broke Sunday in northeastern Brazil, threatening worse flooding in a rain-drenched region that has already seen thousands forced to flee their homes.
The city governments of Jussiape and Itambe posted warnings on social media urging people to seek safety.
“A dam with a high volume of water has broken and a strong flash flood is expected to affect the municipality of Itambe in a few moments. All residents should evacuate from the banks of the river Verruga urgently,” said the city message posted on Instagram.
The Bahia state government’s press office said heavy rains have caused floods that have killed 18 people and affected at least 50 cities since early November. It said more than 16.000 people are homeless, 19,500 displaced and two people missing as a result of the flooding.
Jesus Christ Almighty!!!!
Can't we catch a break?
1st Covid & then gas & now the price of my coffee has gone up 30% ?
Somebody do something!!!
Oh, I know what!!!!
Hang Biden, right?

We'd be singing this if Biden was dead, and all the problems would just dissappear
Without a doubt, right?
