40 thoughts on “Deadly heatwaves ‘100 times more likely’ due to climate change – BBC News

  1. In my 66yrs I have seen different winter and summers. Purely natural. At School in the 1960s I was told the North and South poles would be melted away by the 1980s. Still waiting. The Earths climate has changed millions of times in it's Billions of yrs of existence. You can't alter the Suns changes or the Earths orbit round it. We are not trying to save the planet we are trying to preserve our normal lives and thats all. Lots of Money to be made in this present climate change as we all know.

  2. I think this is only the start of the heatwave. Year after Year it'll get hotter & hotter!!?
    Back when we were mostly tribes, in all countries(not knowing a hell of a lot of stuff) maybe trying to learn how to stay put. And what that entails
    They plant, they build, they hurd, they learn new ways.
    But Just think, back then, we must of lived in fear most of the time! If not every minute of every day, month, year & lifetime! Like an animal that can lay in piece & soundly enjoying the sun or even asleep in their surroundings but as soon as there's a noise they wake & look. That animal instinct that we have now lost due to learning how to stay in one place as a community!
    So each year plant. They do what they think is necessary. Something's work, some not. Keep trying, learning, praying, failing keep doing rituals.
    But year after year it gets hotter, say in 5 yrs 1 yr is cooler but after let's say 10 years the weigh up the yield, the lose of lives, the level of struggle V's content in their lives.
    They know they have to move on, living on the move was better. So they move taking what they'd learned with them.
    Soon they probably moved so far north were it might of been cooler or anywhere & met other tribe's traded & learned more.
    But what I'm saying is when we look at our past I believe we see patterns where heat & cold moved from place to place!
    If I remember correct some scientists think that Antarctica was once a hot/warm place!!
    I always believe in the Bigger Picture.

  3. only humans would destroy the planet they live on, scientists warned in the 1970`s this was coming, but the greed of humans for money is more important, god help any other planets we eventually get to the cycle of destruction will start again.

  4. If the effects of climate change are already here then it’s too late to stop them! We will adapt in time, we’ve done it before!
    All the demands being made to the uk to combat climate change are a waste of time, the uk could be at zero percent and it wouldn’t make a bit of difference, would it? Think about with common sense for once, the only way to effect the climate is for every single country on the planet to be at zero percent! Think about it.

  5. If data about global warming is based on countries statistics then if one country that us already on the front of carbon emissions is LYING about heir real carbon footprint eg.CHINA then all the assumptions about how soon the global warming will swallow us all is false.

  6. The heat in oceans is rising because there is a lot of undersea volcanic activity. This is a global activity that been increasing in events. Then throw in earth axis tilt shift with increased solar events from the sun have been reducing arctic ice pack. The fresh water is desalinizing oceans reducing ocean cycles. With so many events happenings have also increased earth's rotation speed. This pulls the water to central part of the globe. Also, we are in the middle of a magnetic pole shift which has greatly reduced our atmosphere protection. So much is happening to the organic earth structure and ecology. Many governments have bits and piece of vital information along with universities with select industrial businesses. Time for them to role the data together and start planning. Yes, the self-indulged wealth class can still make money during these catastrophic events. It's just to poor working people will be scape goateed with misinformation and emotional issues that really are not issues.

  7. Yes let's reproduce like mad here in south Asian countries…religion and our imaginary gods r more important.. do hell with earth.. forest … lake …
    I feel ppl so ignorant here deserve this..

  8. Absolute propaganda garbage
    Even the context of your fake claim is meaningless
    The BBC is now a climate activist haven – and you should have your charter removed !

  9. If they provided more incentives like opportunities to work from home, places for people to stay after work, where they don't have to keep driving home every so often and many other things. Also all kids taking buses to school or walking. I have met so many people are too lazy to even walk to school and drive despite living a 10 minute walk away. Walk places or cycle,it certainly will help reduce carbon footprint

  10. It's only the beginning… People have been warned, but people preferred to listen to dogmas. Now let's see if gods or other imaginary friends will save anyone from hunger and heat. People didn't listen to science.

  11. The guy around 1:00 is not saying the things being translated. He says: "We have a lot of problems. I feel more thirsty. I feel more burnt on my skin and if I don't get water I feel that I might faint. We have a place to drink water that is sent to us that we drink and that gives us a little bit of comfort. But yeah it's really hot." It is not so far from what he said but then, I wouldn't want my words being mistranslated and made additions on for the sake of making it more dramatic.

  12. Took an entire college class on Climate Change recently. The things you learn when you research it for yourself – most of us do not want to know. Yet human misinformation, complacency, and wishful thinking continues to not change the reality of what is happening. I've gotta say – it's very real. Educate and research for yourself. What is happening and what will happen is going to be very catastrophic to life and our entire human future – if we do not change the course of things soon. It's not going to be some cute cyberpunk tale with rainy skies and ramen. We have already destroyed so many ecosystems. Research the coral and acidification. Research the rayon and plastic blanketing the bottom of the ocean. Realize that you are sleeping in and wearing, surrounding yourself in literal plastic and petroleum all day. These toxins get into your body. Maybe you don't eat well either, and allow others poisons in. There's a deadly cycle of capitalism, greed, misinformation, and money that is responsible for all of this. "Eating seafood that has been tainted with mercury is one of the most common ways humans accumulate mercury in their bodies. The mercury in seafood is a highly poisonous form of the metal called methylmercury, which forms when mercury dissolves into the water." With little regulation, and so many countries contributing to an ever-growing problem, which goes unaddress based on human ignorance. It's not a joke. Acidification and heated oceans will kill most life and will then kill all of us. We don't survive without pollinators because the plants we rely on for food will not exist any longer. There's more alarms going off all over this sinking ship that you can even imagine. WE NEED TO BE SMARTER. Many intelligent Men think it's already too late for us to do something, or turn this around. Some do not feel this way. I'd say that means waiting, or putting it off is a bad idea. We need real change and real laws in effect now, yesterday. Plastics, damning, oil, waste, meat production, foresting – if we don't get these things under sustainable control, we will veer this tiny blue, infinitely rare, and so strangely serendipitously perfectly balance planet we call home, off it's rails, and there will be no future for anything. The destruction of the industrial age and post WWII decisions needs to come to an end so human, and animal life, of the future may have a chance to live and see this world too. A lot of people lived and struggled and fought to make this race of man, to get us where we are, to make all the people that led up to YOU. In the infinite histories and stories of our past, would our ancestors, all the dead not want us to preserve this home they built? Would they not want us to take care of, clean, and heal the home we have just like you would the home you live in and have worked so hard to purchase. Maybe even the big one is a bit more important? Why would we let all that work, all of this existence, our rare chance at brains and love and awareness and art and everything that every happened, all the humans of the future relying on us.. why would we destroy that because of profit margins and gluttony? Because we need meat 7 days a week and can't possibly figure something else out other than fossil fuel usage? This generation is our last chance to turn things around. It's not a joke.

  13. Wake up world! It’s time to change now! So many people can’t take a day off. No work no food. My heart goes out to everyone suffering this horrible horrible heat.

  14. More of the BBC's persistent exaggeration and false information on the subject of climate and weather news. It's simply pitifall institutional alarmism. We deserve much better from an organisation which forces all of us to pay for this ridiculous content.

  15. The stupid people of this world have no idea China already have in their Skies a Fake Synthetic Mechanical Sun Blazing over 10 TIMES HOTTER than the Real Natural Sun . Can you tell me how if this whole Climate Change subject wasn't a Hoax the world's Governments wouldn't be up-in-arms against the CCP for heating up the planet – WAKE UP – You're being Fooled – Even Barrack Obama and Bill Gates have newly bought Mansions RIGHT NEXT TO THE SEA – Not worried about rising sea levels in the least ….

  16. We have the prerequisites technologies to enable us use the infinite gravitation energy in building gravitation electric power stations for families globally. For every tree which will not be cut for fire woods will help the global green ecosystem recovery.
