  1. Mr. Boric lowered the budget for firefighters, he does not want the military to help the victims, the fires were caused by terrorists, this was a genocide, WE DON'T HAVE A PRESIDENT IN CHILE!!!

  2. Gentrification…. This was sent from heaven literally

  3. Done by government , just look for elon musk so called satelites , everywhere they show up is wildfires withing hour

  4. I think many countries should put law enforcement in place specifically in the summer, there are many unethical people now around to create fires and the hot weather helps dangerously.

  5. Directed energy weapons (DEW)

  6. Chile, the only country in the World Without President

  7. The government has big Houses and food.And the por Chileans,???

  8. Like maui. It is not natural. 😢

  9. Don't forget firefighter's job in Chile is volunteer and unpaid, my respect 👏

  10. “I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.”
    – Sultan Al Jaber, President of COP 28, also CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company

    Mukhtar Babayev will be the president for COP 29; he is also a former executive of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijian Republic.

    Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.

  11. 🙏
    I pray this isn’t another Maui.

  12. Land grabbing… They don't want peasants to live in beauty.

  13. Not naturall like in hawaïen fight evil power gouvernement

  14. End time stuff ! Matthew 24, Luke 21 & II Peter 3

  15. Looks like Oregon couple years ago.

  16. Climate change is burning the world and the right wing billionaire class will gladly sacrifice all of us just to die with more money than the next guy, instead of using that money to save the planet and feed and house those without.

  17. Prayers for the peopl3 & animals. Oh its on purpose. Just like Maui. Yep. Its ciming for u next!!!! And ME

  18. Hmm, looks like another Maui fake fire 🔥🤨

  19. Over population and worsening corruption going to destroy Latin America.

  20. I just hope Boric doesn't go to sleep tonight without making sure this people have food and shelter.
