South Sudan 'dying of thirst' as climate-driven floods mix with oil | BBC News


Large swathes of South Sudan have been under water for several years after unprecedented flooding, which scientists say has been worsened by climate change.

In recent years, these climate-driven floods have mixed with oil.

South Sudan is the worldтАЩs youngest country and one of its poorest, with a government hugely dependent on oil…

  1. It's going to sound harsh, but if there's lack of water and food while oil pipes are spilling into the driking water supply people should be displaced and not be given food aid so they keep dying in same Region with children born with birth defects.

  2. Few reap the benefits but all pay the price, it is true whether you are a Jew or rob Peru. Naturally you just want it all for yourself, but what becomes of morality and laws and the people themselves as a whole when ran by corruption and greed?

  3. Making this video and not calling the government running the country out instead you just blame oil and climate is mind bugling ЁЯШПand why make babies in a condition like this?

  4. The solution to this problem is ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). OTEC will reduce the temperature of the ocean surface which will reduce evaporation and thus the potential for floods. Carbon neutral electricity will be generated as well.

    If more people had the ability to think logically and solve problem the world would be a much better place.

  5. Please can we control fossil fuels and fine companies who allow leaks and don't clean up their act before it's too late. We have had so many disastrous weather events and they will only get worse if we don't change our ways.

  6. I wonder why these governments donтАЩt or wonтАЩt hold the companies responsible and force the businesses to fix the problem. I canтАЩt imagine any company doing business in a foreign country without permission from the countryтАЩs government.

  7. Most of the African governments are very corrupt and keep all funded monies (from other countries) for themselves. The richest men who own African corporations live in London UK. If the people of Africa are to be helped, their govt officials all need to be replaced. It's very sad to status of population needing clean water.

  8. Thats a legitimate humanitarian and environmental crises. Which organisations step in? People probably need to be evacuated until the water drains away. And oil removed somehow.

  9. Climate change "warriors" are a "death cult". If these self-indulgent doom-mongers got their way they would "enforce" Year Zero and we would all be walking around in cardboard shoes. The hypocrisy is the number of cars that these middle class hypocrites run. Dad, mum and each son and daughter with their own car in the driveway. The greatest cause of starvation and death in Africa is political corruption.

  10. If only the world had focused on a resource based economy instead of money based. But we're too late anyway. The world is too damaged now. What a mess humans have made for the sake of money and 'progress'. Really hard to watch the resultant destruction and suffering, especially for the babies. May God have mercy on the innocent people in Sudan and the world.
