FRANCE 24 English 
Brazil, which is hosting the COP30 summit in the Amazon in November, is facing a worrying rise in sea levels due to global warming. Sea levels in the village of Atafona, in the north of Rio de Janeiro state, could rise some 21cm by 2050, according to UN forecasts. The village is experiencing one of the world’s most serious environmental disasters due to coastal erosion. Every year, the sea advances by an average of six metres. Across the country, over 2 million people could be affected in the long term by rising sea levels. In Santos, in the state of Sao Paulo, the mayor’s office is trying to anticipate matters in order to avoid an economic and human catastrophe. FRANCE 24’s Louise Raulais and Jan Onoszko report.

No they are battling the Socialist Who was Installed by Biden, Soros, OBama. Weather Manipulation is Not Climate Change.
I'm from Brazil and I can say this is NOT happening at all. We are living in a dictatorship here though
The destruction of the Amazon has increased by 400%, but artists and celebrities like Di Caprio and others are silent. This is the hypocrisy of love. Left-wing parties were put in power to destroy and rob the Brazilian people. Today we live under a dictatorship of unprepared men in the judiciary, and an "OMISSIVE AND CORRUPT" media, but the bill always comes for everyone, in this life or the next.⏳
It's funny because the best lies are partially true.
Trump says climate change is a hoax. 😮
Sea level has been rising for the last 10,000 years since the Ice Age. At this point in time it's almost nothing 2.3 mm per year, 1 in in a decade, and we will all be dead by the time it rises one foot in a century. This is sickening at this point the anti-science.gov's pretending they are scientists when all they're doing is flogging the media and being crisis actors, for their jobs for life with pensions. Ignore them
When you have to go to Brazil to find an eroding beach to worry about, you are gaslighting. The Maldives has an average ground-level elevation of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, and a highest natural point of only 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in), making it the world's lowest-lying country: still there.
