  1. Joni Mitchell ,sang about many years ago,They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot ! Its the problem in a sentence. Too much blacktop no grass to absorb moisture,urban planners need to think better about the problem they cause . Climate change is here to stay . 😢

  2. The scariest part of this for me is the heat. Much of the country experiencing 125° days?? That is a death sentence for those who are outside, or potentially community scale fatality events if power goes out. Absolutely horrifying.

  3. I live in one of the Florida counties that is already orange on that map, and I can tell you that basically the entire summer is already outside the bounds of human habitability – at least for this human.

  4. We are oblivious to the realities of our times. Particularly concerning is that the wildfires and insect migration as warmer weather moves north are responsible for tens of millions of acres destroyed. Unlike cities and suburbs the damages are invisible. Its happening globally. Metastisizing as faster rates. Like a cancer the best time to catch it is early. Unfortunately this is not happening. We're using more wood than at any time in history. Ditto the global south. Simultaneously government today is more interested in ceaseless war suffering bloodshed and ecological destruction. In dominating other nations. Game of thrones thinking will be the end of the beautiful game of civilization. We must have peace. Thanks PBS for your work

  5. Pray for rain, said a sign on the road. Pray? I think a Native American rain 🌧️ dance would be more effective. Why? Well.. the drum beats and the earth stumping propagate to the clouds ☁️. There, the ice crystals are pushed together by the sound waves… the rest you know, super saturated blah blah

  6. I think people look at these maps and get a false sense of security if they're not in a purple zone. But as someone else mentioned here, places like Montpelier, VT and Asheville, NC have been ravaged by floods. An extremely high precipitation event could take out California's Central Valley. A grid failure would be catastrophic now in Phoenix, not just in 20 or 30 years. Meanwhile we have state governors outlawing use of the words "climate change," which will become a national mandate if the wrong person gets into the Oval Office. My long-term goal is to get out of the US entirely to a country that takes this issue more seriously. I don't see Americans waking up in time.

  7. This just addresses heat temperatures. It doesn't include the threats of flooding, fires, earthquakes, volcanoes and the one man made disaster of all time, nuclear power plants. Or fossil fuels. Fit all of that into "climate change." Oh and space junk lol and solar flares.

  8. Agricultural will be non existent in the west soon. TN Kentucky Arkansas IL ozark and east. Maybe the grains in IA and NB but that too might dry up after that but really with Yellowstone then the flooding we will have rain for 40 years cooling down the planet. You can build some really cool things with lava rock that have metals in them so working with magnetics will be a game changer that’s a simplified version of a UFO. They developed smarter metal combinations but that’s it. Plus the figure out a computer chip that communicates with them using telepathy the third eye. This is what real AI is. A connection to a biological entity with morals. That’s why I call my smart phone R2D2. My Son develops this in 500 years.
