    O vídeo nos traz exemplos de países que aprenderam a controlar as enchentes. Existem soluções para o Rio Grande do Sul. O que falta é vontade política.

    Your reference to Ralph Naders book, is without any context... he was going after the Corvair, which by the time his book was published, the safety problems had already been solved... he was a frothing at the mouth idiot during his time...

    I just upgraded from a 2007 to a 2018 car and the change in technology is huge. Back up camera with cross traffic sensors, the blind spot sensors, the warnings for approaching a stopped vehicle, lane departure etc. I consider myself a safe driver, but it's pretty incredible what the tech can do now to make it even easier to be safe, and prevention is always the best safety.

    hat man sich gedanken über schlamm und sediment förderung der flüsse gemacht? nein? hat man sich gedanken über das biom im fluss gemacht? nein? die zukunft sieht so aus: alle flüsse werden wieder ihren natürlichen lauf haben, der wasserkreislauf wird es uns danken und dieser ist ohnehin wichtiger als der kohlenstoff kreislaus oder das methan. achja,... stauseen produzieren sogar methan. wie war das? der wasserkreislauf? renaturierung?

    In Australia we get floods that none of this would stop. I worked with a local railway and a train crew were flown back. For 160 km 100 miles they could not see a farm fence post either side of the plane. Water was at least 3 to 4 feet or more deep over 100s of 1000s of square miles of land on what is knwn as flood plains. Ground is level as a table top almost. Good luck holding that back

    while i was was house hunting. my relator would somehow only find houses that were in flood zones. i live in south Mississippi, where coast flooding will occur when a hurricane comes through. anyway, i got rid of that relator. he couldn't find any out of the flood plain, i also said to him "who builds houses in a flood plain?" "oh those are houses that are from the 60-70s. just waiting for a hurricane storm surge to wipe them off." "you mean Katrina didn't wipe them?" "surprisingly, these survived" i currently live in a house that i know cant be flooded unless the sea rose to about 50ft from its current level

    This is an eye-opening look into the effects of better planning. This makes me appreciate what other cities hae done to make the lives of their citizens better. Right now it's raining like hell in Nairobi, Kenya and there is no planning for our city. Infrastructure has been destroyed, lives lost, disaster management is in shambles and nobody gives a duck.

    I love how our solution to the "Oops, I messed with nature and caused huge problems" problem is to mess with nature some more. We paved over the land causing more runnoff, so we made it easier for that runnoff to get to the rivers, which meant that whenever it rained the rivers instantly flooded instead of gradually and releasing water slowly and naturally, so we built dams to co that, which causes all sorts of other problems for wildlife. This is why humanity sucks.

    IIHS might be the original "inventor" of crash tests, but it looks like the merely followed Euro NCAP standards in adding additional tests to their process. For example the side impact tests were introduced in 2003 in IIHS testing while it was performed from its inception in 1997 in Euro NCAP testing.
