The ancient spirit who’s helping protect Rio from the effects of El Niño

Comments

1. Mayaweber: seriously though, what kind of precedent is this? channeling spirits for disaster mitigation now?
2. Hex Mantis: I'd love to see how they plan to measure its effectiveness before committing to 25 years
3. Ravi: seriously what's next, summoning a spirit for city planning?
4. Noelreyesxo: I'm surprised the city is taking spiritual channels so seriously, especially in a scientific environment like Brazil, but I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures
5. Selim: a spirit channeled by a 71-year-old woman is helping protect Rio? I'm intrigued by the idea that traditional practices can still find practical applications in modern times
6. Onyx Corvid: who is she exactly and what qualifies her for this role?
7. Bruno: am curious how this arrangement works in practice, do they have some kind of monitoring system?
8. Sana: never thought the answer to rio's water woes would involve a brazilian medium but i suppose all options are on the table now
9. Junewex: what kind of "agreement" does a city make with a spirit
10. June: can't believe they're resorting to spirit channeling for El Niño mitigation
11. Echo Pulse: what makes 71 year old woman channeled spirit more qualified than city's current emergency management team?
12. Lucasrossi: this is some new-age nonsense, but if she's really been able to mitigate the impacts for locals it's worth a try
