Brutal Heat and Flooding in Southeast Asia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Climate Emergency Forum discusses the unprecedented heatwaves and flooding affecting the region of Southeast Asia and India.
This video was recorded on May 8th, 2024, and published on May 19th, 2024 and represents the opinions of the discussion participants.
The discussion highlights the extreme temperatures, with places like Myanmar reaching 48.2 degrees Celsius and India experiencing temperatures of 45.9 degrees Celsius. These conditions have led to significant human suffering, including deaths from heatstroke, crop failures, and disruptions to daily life, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children.
In terms of scale, 800 million people in Southeast Asia and India are enduring these extreme conditions. There is a UNICEF press release stating that 243 million children are exposed to record dangerous heatwaves, exacerbating their already precarious living conditions. The direct link between these extreme weather events and global warming, driven by greenhouse gas emissions is underscored. The lack of adequate response from governments and international bodies is criticized with a call for immediate and substantial action to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The broader implications of these climate events are noted including the disruption of education for children, which has long-term consequences for societal stability and development. The concept of "eco-anxiety," particularly among young people in affected regions, and the urgent need for political leaders to take meaningful action to address the climate crisis is mentioned. The forum concludes with a call to action, urging individuals and governments to prioritize climate mitigation efforts to ensure a livable future for the next generations.

Most of my life , have I've been angry about wonton overpopulation , overconsumption , and degradation of every place on earth . All do to greed , indifference , selfishness and stupidity .
If CO2 were cut too rapidly there would be a collapse of crop yields, and a starvation crisis on a scale never before experienced. The key is to cool the planet using SRM / SOS. CO2 will gradually come down anyway, as we are already past peak oil and peak gas. In reality, that is what is going to lomit CO2 emissions, not carbon credits or political hot air.
And whenever you mention we’re overpopulated, the vast majority say ‘nahh we can fit loads more people.’ Unless it’s on a subject that directly affects them such as traffic, housing, etc. Even then they can blame infrastructure and lack of housing.
It’s exasperating, like where do you even start if they actually wanted to learn. When I was growing up I thought most adults were clever, but it’s the other way around.
Agreed
Congratulations for having spent your life in anger. Did you get around to trying to change things or did you go ahead and consume products like everyone else?
And your point is?
"Cannot be witnesses to this " ? Well you're JUST ABOUT TO BE BUDDY. I'm living in SE Asia , working for a tiny privately funded charity , attempting to identify tropically adapted high value vegetable varieties. Which the locals will need within about 4 years , when the local in shore fishery will COLLAPSE. I come from Australia, I am familiar with heat, ambient air temperature of 47c , etc. But those were with minimal relative humidity. Today , where I am , it's 33c and about 80% rh... horrifying. Last night at about midnight I went for a swim in the ocean , the sharks have already been eaten and in about 50 metres of depth , I ran into several of my neighbours...it's literally too hot to swim during the day. I feel I'm living in a fkng blast furnace
I am so sorry for your suffering, please for give us!
Oh my gosh !!! I'm writing you from Queensland... so you a good ways out in the water & its your neighbors in the night swim... too hot to go cool off in the water, in the day time.... omigosh. 😢😢😢
Have you read Chapter One of 'The Ministry for the Future'?
The atmosphere has warmed about 1.6°C in 40 years or +0.04°C per year. It takes 8.3 BTU to increase a gallon of water temperature 1°F. There are 7.4 gallons in a cubic foot of water so about 60 BTUs per cubic foot. But it only takes 0.13 BTU to heat a cubic foot of air by 1 degree. So the oceans will heat by 0.04 x (0.13/60) = +0.000087 degrees per year. It will take 11,538 years to heat the oceans by 1°F. _The math and physics is irrefutable!_
And by the way I lived mid-Pacific in lagoon water you could swim naked in that was full of sea life and corels, the same as Suluwesi. Pesticides and herbicides from palm oil plantations together with raw sewage is what kills fisheries.
@@robertmarmaduke186so why are we seeing such extreme temps in the North Atlantic then?
India has nukes but no air conditioning. Make sense of that💤
describe the complexity of human society in one sentence. ✔
Air conditioning is one of the false promises of modernity. "Nukes" are yet another
Blame their neighbors. They are also quite friendly with Russia. This tilts the balance of power in the world.
Rubbish ! every good hotel in india has aircon if you can afford it....
A/C will only increase the greenhouse gasses more and the temps will go higher and they will need more a/c which will only increase ...
Good point Paul: The Politicians ought to defray Eco-Anxiety, but they are too concerned with their Privileged lifestyles. Pathetic.
Politicians are for rent, oil companies being clients. If you think the current politicians can enact any meaningful change you haven’t been paying attention.
I blame the politicians and rightfully so. The US President and US Congress were warned in 1987 by Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. James Hansen that climate change posed an existential threat to all Life. Reagan buried the information like an ignorant dumb ass and the US Congress did not lift a finger. The only member of Congress to act responsibly was Al Gore. The US largely created climate change and is largely responsible for the carnage that is coming and that is already here.
And then there is Bobby Kennedy!
Hes been fighting for our Earths health all his adult life. He has my vote!
Regina, your'e right. The destabilisation of society is a key problem, and we can see it happening everywhere, now. From Canada to New Zealand, and Asia through to Europe. The destabilisation is caused directly by the climate and indirectly and just as effectively by the politicians. It's very difficult to see just how we're going to "vote" our way out of this. Many political parties are now bought and paid corporatists. The only question to consider is are we going to be sufficiently organised to minimise the chaos that's just starting, and what does that mean and entail?
Oh, I agree entirely with the problem of voting strategically to force politics into combatting climate change - even beginning to combat it.
The main batters are left and right wing politics, and neither seem to want to do anything other than undo each other's work. Climate is definitely at the bottom of their to-do lists, we've all gathered that by now.
But we know that voting for the Greens is pretty much a wasted vote, because most ordinary citizens are driven to backing traditional parties, the young voters lured by promises (until they learn to know better), following policies that are favoured by their families, their status, their level of wealth.
No one with an economic situation (that's most people now) are going to be as concerned for the environment if they still think money is most important, and money will help get them out of their situation.
As for American politics...well, I find it hard to believe these people stem from Europeans at all. Their lust for money, power, and the lengths to which they'll go to get I find extremely distasteful.
So the Greens will consistently lose to traditional parties until we're at the last gasp.
Been saying this for well over a decade. Very like being strapped to a train track, you can see the train coming, but... what can you do 🎉
18:42 Regina, you are correct about the effects on education and what it leads to.
But I don’t blame the fossil fuel companies; it’s the politicians and their greed for money and power that have allowed this carnage.
Here in Canada, we have handcuffed our standard of living with a carbon tax that accomplishes nothing.
The hypocrisy of our current government is that while we play the green cards like we’re champions of climate change, we export over 30 million tons of coal to the world’s largest polluters every year.
We’re doomed.
I've lost all hope, but I'll keep doing frontline activism anyway, in my 42 years I've had a stupidly privilieged life even though I'm poor by first world standards. Make justice your full time job, you won't regret it.
Hi Greg. Hats off to you if you can keep fighting the good fight despite being hopeless. I was actively involved with Extinction Rebellion in the UK for a while in 2019, got myself arrested a couple of times, but then came to the conclusion that it's not just the government or the oil companies that are too blame...... people generally are struggling to survive, financially, and are very unlikely to be in favour of 'degrowth' if this means a lower standard of living.....and even 'degrowth' is probably not enough.....we need the whole edifice of materialist capitalist consumerist society to collapse...... I think that will only be bright about by 'mother nature'.....this is the apocalypse that is required to bring humanity back into some sort of harmony with nature...... overshoot is the fundamental predicament and they're are no easy, painless solutions, sorry to say, my friend.....but keep fighting!! It's good for the soul to act according to your conscience, regardless of whether those actions can achieve 'success'. 🙏🏼
I’m getting more involved in politics in Chicago in the Midwest of the U.S. because this region will become a place for global warming refugees and this region needs to prepare for the influx.
@@raybod1775 I am retiring out of Florida back to Michigan soon. Florida has become a mess with heat homelessness, growth....I am outta here to your point.
People deserve to be informed about the damning trajectory we're on and currently experiencing. Thank you for organizing these reports/discussions.
You're welcome. Thanks for your support!
Why don't you do a show on the pollution that military equipment and wars cost
They have
YES EXACTLY
Yes 💯
Nothing is going to change. We're living the end of the world we know.
Climate change is cyclical, you can't treat it as being linear!
I am an Australian in the southern part of the mainland. Seasons have changed. I am not worried about my 20 year child. The collapse has started around the world. I feel my life will face disaster.
It wasn't so long ago that I thought that at least my son (28) would see out most of his life in reasonable safety. Then I adjusted that to thinking I might see out my life in reasonable safety. Now I realise that my husband, 17 years older than myself, will likely suffer from a climate driven death.
It should be considered that heatstroke has a very curious effect. I had it once, and afterwards fell prey to hot days much more easily. It does something to your level of heat tolerance. I thought it was just me at the time, but seems it's a common after-effect.
I honestly don't understand why people in other parts of the world are still dismissing these extreme heatwaves so lightly.
I guarantee you, heatstroke is no fun. I've moved further and further north up my country, the extremes following me.
Last year, when it hit 31C, I sat by the stream for 2 days with my feet in the water, unable to move, talk or eat. Meanwhile, back in the place where I came from, it was 41C.
I'm taking daily actions to lower my emissions and/or practice carbon sequestering techniques.
My neighbour, a staunch climate change denier, seems to do otherwise as if to spite me (since he knows my opinions of the matter). Yesterday, he lit his fireplace and went outside to sit. That's the type of mentality we're up against. What do you do against such recklessness?
Yes it is here now
You said ‘I feel my life will face disaster’ and at the same time you’re ’not worried about [your] 20 year child’ ? I don’t get what you’re trying to say
@@Debbie-henrii got mild heat stroke this last summer (heat exhaustion) Yes its weird - the sense of even less heat tolerance... happened to me too. Queensland, AU
@@Debbie-henri You got this.
The death sentence is inescapable at this point. Our train’s (Earth) been approaching a steel wall (death of ecosystem) for decades now. The driver (politicians), instead of putting their foot on the breaks (policies/reform), have put their foot on the accelerator, whilst more passengers joined the ride. We can’t expect at the moment right before we hit the wall for the brakes to work. TrainCorp (Big Oil) has a strictly ruled policy against drivers taking their foot off the accelerator and braking, and obfuscate the fact it’s heading towards a brick wall to passengers. The passengers in first class (1%) have safety pods (bunkers) on the train, but they can’t survive forever in them, and there’s nobody to rescue them.
It's interesting to see how many people now have a clear image of what is happening not following in panic
Eh eh... calm down, calm down...as the Scousers would say...😂 It's not good living in fear 💜
There’s nothing to fear, but reality.
I remember talking about a likely mass die-off due to global warming about 10 years ago. I 've been talking to people whenever I can, but usually I find people's minds are already made up one way or the other. What changes people are who asleep is when something happens in their experience that wakes them up. The media are not highlighting the weather extremes that are happening around the globe enough. At some point there is going to be a mass panic.
It's a crime the issue has been politicized. (And Jill Stein is the only politician addressing it.)
Globally we devote massive resources to the military industrial complex/war. If that energy was redirected towards our climate predicament………
Exactly what Jill Stein is saying she'll push for if we make her president.
And one of many resons Bobby Kennedy Jr. has my vote! hes for the planet.and more peace .not profit
So true....If only JFK had been allowed to continue. JFK was gonna eliminate the Federal Reserve and Cold War. .... then Gore too losing ( Bush made sure Florida was given to him) Then , 9/11 all part of the plan by the politicians/ industrial complex. Greed and evil . Our founding fathers must be ashamed.
The Military Industrial Complex is a huge problem. But the major problem is the Consumer Industrial Political Complex.
Almost everybody in these presenter and comment sections is a major contributor. Our levels of technology and energy use, housing, mobility, feeding are way beyond being sustainable. The average German produces 100 times the amount of CO2 compared to the average Malawian in Central Africa. And people like me who live mainly vegan, don’t fly, changed to EV and heat pump, still produce 50 times.
There is no way around global climate justice for 10 billion people to come. Western living standards will have to reduce massively if we aim at long term human survival on this planet.
Apart from terminating wars and dismantling the MIC.
It's not only the storms, heat😊 and flooding, even though they are bad enough! But the rising temperatures will bring diseases, and dangerous creatures, being able to survive in areas that they couldn't before!😢
Cyanobacteria from contaminated water. ..research it.
Thanks for that. For many years I’ve been working (based in Japan) as a crop historian in SE Asia. I have a lot of hope that people will help each other and be able to develop new polycultural crop-production systems from the resources they already have. As a researcher I hope my efforts will help support the creative efforts of small-holder farmers.
@researchcooperative: Where can I find information online about the research you and others do? This is vital work. I too think smallholder farming is the extinction rebellion. Thanks!
2.28 precisely. Its the animals that I feel sorry for as they are the innocent victims in all this. I actually lost a cat to 'heat stroke' two years ago - he was a Russian Blue so just not designed for this heat we've been having - I'm in London UK. I see that the demo you have pictured is taking place in London the city of cars, cars, cars, cars and more cars the air in this city is also absolutely rancid the pollution levels are a disgrace and nothing but nothing truly truly effective is being done about it. I notice though that there is no mention whatsoever about 'animal agriculture' not a word as usual
I heard the word vegan being used , !
@@MyKharli Just once. The sad brutal truth is that 'animal agriculture' produces far more green house gases than the entire 'transport industry' but no-one wants to talk about it.
Planet on fire!
June 2023, early summer heatwave here in joshua tree California, lasted almost 2 weeks, got me watching closely this year.
Young couples are not having children, either.
ALL our children are looking at us and saying "Why didn't you do something to change this?" Hard to take so we live in delusion as it is too depressing to deal with. Most of us live in the moment and do nothing. We all must protest with our buying habits. Stop consuming, take action as our Governments continue to delude, lie and take no action. I am 66 and have a 26 yo daughter, she says "no children" and I support this 100%. Had I known what I know now I would never had had her (sad to say this). I do not tell her this but we have stopped talking about Climate Change because it is so distressing and situation so dire. I know I will see her suffer in my lifetime. You think you will escape and not see your children's pain and distress, think again ...
Not the ones I know, all my younger relatives FEEL as if they must have children!
In Finland 2 weeks since very late winter storms with 20-30 cm of snow, when it should have been +15C. Then rapid 20C temp change. And now we are under a drought that has turned to wildfires (18 in a single day).
These late snowing events kills our seeds and makes farming extremely unpredictable. Can't wait a summer of drought and heavy rains on harvesting season (trend in last years). Our local seeds are running so low that there is high likelihood that we have none for the next year. And buying seeds from elsewhere makes them even more vulnerable even for our normal climate (yea, whisful thinking on that normal climate...)...
Current heatwaves are WEIRDly dry and drawing out the very moisture from the surface. And oh boy when it rains it pours.
Oh yea, when the snow came the migrating birds have just came to ou country. And it was even in the main news that feed them or they won't survive.
Just total climate change driven destruction. A destruction that is not often even seen from the appartments that we live in.
And yes, the situation is much worse in SE Asia.
Thanks for sharing
Enjoy what you can, while you still can. Pity the generations to come.
Yes, those rapid changes are frightening! Everywhere!
.Here where I live in N. Idaho rapid and evident decline in bird populations...weird abnormal weather events....catastrophic decline in insects....beetle kill forest die offs...Canadian persistent wildfires...this is just a snippet of what I observe on a dally basis...overkill...or overreach, whatever description suits you...we are observing the collapse.
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. Collapse of what?
I go hiking in Oregon. Lately I can hike all day and not see a mammal (squirrel, chipmunk etc.). Few birds in the woods, few if any reptiles, few if any amphibians or insects. The good part is few mosquitoes or flies. Maybe it's just the areas that I hike in. I know some places where I could find swarms of mosquitoes but of course I avoid those.
Right, and I remember Maikäfer as a kid and the windscreen was always full of insects when we went on a journey! Now, there is hardly anything left!
I'm worried about what the birds find to eat and I keep feeding the birds all year round! For blackbirds I put pears or old apples on the ground!
@@eustaciogriego1912 The collapse of a nature as we have known? I notice here in Florida, the birds too are not as frisky or abundant.
Here in India the spring season has vanished for last few years. Now, weather is transitioning from winter to summer quickly causing early and long summers
Yes, similar in Europe!
I just want to understand, how do they know El Niño is over?
The oceans are still boiling hot, right?
Google is our friend. What I was able to find seems to indicate just a weakening. I am in curious agreement with you ; with warmer temps how can they seem to predict a weakening.
I never was a fan of that whole El Nino principle. The water is getting warmer ( and warmer deeper) and wont get any better.
32c in Bangladesh, but those are shade temperatures, add 10c when in sunlight, temperatures recorded are shade temperatures
Just two days ago, from Italy to Benelux, big flooding in Europe
What is clearly visible is that most of this destruction is on continents that have the greatest populations, polution centers and are unwilling to do anything about it. We are not responsible for saving those who think it's every body else's responsibility to end polution and over population.
I live in Florida and it gets hotter and more humid every year just like every other place on Earth. We also get hurricanes and are preparing for a pretty drastic season starting in June.
Tell me how we live without fossils fuels when just about everything is made with it. Terrance Howard has been trying to tell them but they (big oil)refuse to listen.
I too live here 30 plus years. Get this ; I am soon retiring out of Florida, back to more stable Michigan. The heat, overdevelpoment and homelessness here are beyond my tolerance level. I am in Jax.
Home owner's insurance companies are aware of this. They're not stupid......they're too chickenshit to speak out. That must change.
Thank you.
I tell my denier friends, “You know who believes in climate change? The insurance companies!”
In Jacobabad , Pakistan, will have 50 and 51 C the next days.
Wow, I just checked and you are right. 46c to 51c by next Monday... that's horrific WTF!
Thanks for sharing.
Terrifying! 😖
We HAVE TO CHANGE our way of living. Many of us will find this very disturbing but we have to do it. Not to stone age but we must willingly give up certain comforts for the sake of humanity's future (if we can be successful). A few examples would be finding new ways of transportation, living locally, giving up unnecessary consumption in every aspect of our lives...many more can be named. We have exhausted the planet and now it is turning against us. We didn't respect its sources. Now its time to pay the bill.
It’s a small wealthy group of people who can afford to actually do that. The rest of us drive 180 miles a week working to jobs to pay rent. If any of it stops, we go on streets and die.
how about giving a federal tax discount of 100% of the cost to paint house roof white.
How many millions of houses will partake of it.
Equaling how many square miles of reflection.
GREAT IDEA WHITE ROOFS! Ive done that to 3 homes and the temps in summer inside went down about 5-7 degrees. I see all these new homes in California with almost BLACK ROOFS. arrrgh...stupidity.
Great idea. I got a white roof last year.
White or lighter shade...I agree. The simple answers yet so distant for some to incorporate.
There’s a metaphor about closing the barn door after the horses are gone
Shoot been up and around 40c here in central Vietnam for months. Thank the Lord the rains are starting. So many crops were already lost, people laid off.
Dr. Carter, thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. We have to plan for 3° C now. Because it’s coming. Maybe by the time it gets here we will have enough marine cloud brightening equipment installed, enough solar and wind installed that we can limit it to 3°.
Thank you!
As a physician Dr Carter should know large mammals and their habitats cannot survive at those temps... But we should be taking about it and planetary hospice
The Radio Ecoshock podcast is a fantastic listen.
Cool i'll check it out
Recently a USA candidate offered to adopt the oil industry platform if he got 1 billion 😢dollars . If this person can use it to buy an American dictatorship, then the USA rich will not be inconvenienced by our climate crisis while the poor take the brunt.
Certain candidates want to be dictators like their role models in Europe and North Korea. Can't believe this is America. Like Germany in 1930s.
Tell Nestle to put the aquifer water back and things will improve immediately.
Aquifer water rights have been taken for granted in most parts of the US. Traditional farming and baronial management are belief symptoms that as the no longer applicable.
Regina, why do you say it's the fault of a few industries? Millions, if not hundred of millions of people in the US have no problem using oil and don't want to switch to electric cars, don't care about having smaller houses, are totally fine eating beef twice a day, I mean the population is as much guilty as a few industries.
The fossil fuel industries, American petroleum institute, coal industry HAS LIED about the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on our climate. They have hired “experts“ to lie for them. They have bought politicians, misrepresented data, etc. Yes, many people want to drive a car, travel too far away places for vacations, throw away tons of plastic because it’s convenient etc. Think of how much lying has gone on with recycling plastics?
The fossil fuel industry bears most of the blame for the predicament we’re in, and they are lying still!!
When Al Gore gives up his 10,000 ft Mega Mansion which uses up as much energy as 500 American homes, and his private jet, Maybe some of the rest of Americans might consider this proposal.
We looked for the enemy and we found it was us.
Absolutely fundamentally incorrect, ~90% of emissions are caused by like five mega corporations. What, is the single mother in Philadelphia gonna recycle her way out of complete Armageddon? Hah
Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. Stop using their product. Stop spending money.
its so bad
Enjoy what you can, while you still can. Pity the generations to come.
Thank you. Also affecting Pakistan, 48C shade temperature expected in the next week in Lahore and Multan, similar to Amritsar and New Delhi in India. With 35% to 40% humidity during the day that is a death sentence for anyone exerting themselves outside or without water and many animals. Extreme heat index or wet bulb temperature and indeed hell.
Knock on effect food, education, economy, social, political, health, climate, war etc
And thank you all for your climate militance.
Is that sarcasm?
I cant do much but...I had no children and drive an electric car.
Its a tiny help but at least I am trying.
That you BELIEVE that mere mortals can do something, anything, and then ACT is a great thing, Gary. Heroes are found in the unlikeliest places.
Yeah flooding here in EU as well (on a smaller scale though and of course with less adverse effects because of more stabe economies). Its getting so much worse every year. Exponential man such a shame
Fox news Australia and others should take note of this and stop the war on truth!!
What you are saying is quite true. The problem you face is that 'News' need to be new to gain attention and in our media saturated environment where novelty is everything you are losing out. The climate change question presents the same argument and the same perspective over and over again and it just becomes wallpaper. While the southern hemisphere is experiencing trauma, in the north we have floods and some heat events and adaptions can be made to these with comparative ease. Change may come about when the north suffers substantial disruption but that may well be a long way off and this will hardly be helped by politicians obsessed with growth and stability. Not a good situation but it's good to see you are still hopeful of change!
Get Taylor Swift behind this on her next album and see how many young people will come to address this.
India burns massive amounts of coal and has a nice aerosol masking effect going on. If you don’t believe me look at GISS temp reports and climatereanalyzer. India is heating up relatively slowly. Similar thing happening in eastern US. Again, far more heat records in western US vs eastern. Miami sets tons of record highs but SO2 levels are pretty low in southern FL.
Rubbish. Google India heat wave 2024 and look up historical temperature charts.
You're only trying to comfort yourself.
Besides, if you think having an atmosphere filled with pollution through particulates, look up increased death rates through pollution. They don't make an easy read.
Thanks for this. Just keep telling people your findings and that they should not listen to experts
nice aerosol masking effect going on, lols, yeah they are going to leave there cities in mass once heat takes over completely , its started
The highest recorded temperature since Bangladesh independence was 45.1 degrees Celsius on May 18, 1972.
Yes you are correct. So let's ignore the experts.. There is a difference between average and peak temperatures.. look at the world temperature graph. It bounced up and down yearly. One low does not indicate average world temperature trend is down.
Last year the media reported temps in that part of the planet as reaching 60C which means lethal effects. People have buried this information ever since.
Thank you for this update. I think it is inevitable that countries such as China, India and those in the Middle East will just get on with SRM / SOS. Irrespective of international moratoria etc.
your survival now is your responsibility. don't expect help from the establishment, because it will be gone. we will live off the bones of whats left but that wont last. you need to stop living in a dream world, that luxury is gone, and prepare yourself for the worst. do your homework. find the zones with the best chance, climate, and move there now. it will be Russian roulette, but the wise will survive. grains wont grow in a wet environment 3.5c above today
That's what I'm a doin buddy
Hence the rush to have a base on the Moon and Mars and the frantic search for water on those frozen worlds.
Since this was posted in Papua New Guinea, after near constant rains suffered another climate induced catastrophe. A mud slide that they estimate killed at least 746. Mud and rocks up to four meters deep. Consequently, as they dig more bodies out, that tragic death toll continues to rise.
G where is Donald Trump the climate warming denier when you need him
Sucking up to Putin and overtly asking for his interference in November.
Im afraid with this scenario we might not even reach 2030 we might die early. I dont understand why nothing is being done to stop carbon emission and why not a great drive too to plant trees. Here in the Philippines, it like your are in an oven. But, i am more frigthened because we are entering the la nina phase. Our houses are not equip to deal with extreme storm
I never have been able to understand why people won't pay attention to taking care of the earth.
Hi Regina and Peter, I just watched this video, and also took a look at what your channel is about: "educational discussions about contributing factors to the climate crisis, abrupt climate change, loss of biodiversity as well as various components of climate systems. Our discussions also incorporate solutions to key aspects of climate disruption, which is affecting all life on Earth." At this point it's reasonably clear that earlier climate models underestimated the speed at which our climate is changing. There is no doubt at this point that we are on a collision course - and the rate of change is accelerating ever faster. Here, where I live, in Houston, Texas, new homes go up everyday - they are large - not well insulated - and gobble huge amounts of energy. The vast majority of people in this area from soccer moms driving $90,000 SUV's with huge V8 engines mindlessly spewing tons on CO2 into there children's future to the average person here favors driving pickup trucks with huge V8 engines - there is no effort, nor consideration, to completely reevaluate how we are doing business, and the legacy from the poor decisions we are making today that will leave future generations in a very dreadful situation. You mention India and Bangladesh. As you note, Bangladesh is below sea level, deeply impoverished, and frankly there is not much they can do to get out of the trap they're living in. They have had the foresight to see that the environment can't sustain and unlimited number of people and their national family planning program is often cited as a model for other developing countries. They aren't the ones driving huge SUV's and needing huge energy gobbling homes, and yet they will be one of the first to fall under the weight of climate change. Honestly, the wealthy soccer moms and pickup truck drivers could care less about Bangladesh. At this point, many states are starting to deal with the cost and havoc. From California, to Texas, and Florida more and more wealthy and upper middle class families are finding their home owners insurance going up exponentially, and now in many places they simply can't get home owners insurance. I love your videos, your true concern, and efforts to persuade people the time for delays, posturing, and half measures is over. Unless, the human species as a whole decides lets not destroy the planet, rather let's radically evaluate real solutions: much smaller homes that are very energy efficient, individually reduce your carbon foot print. Do you really need a $90,000 SUV with a 6.2 L V8? The problem is that we don't have the human species collectively acknowledging we are at a tipping point, and unless we pull together now, then what's to come can only be described as horror. Crops will fail. Fires will burn out of control all over the planet. Extreme weather events will increase in frequency and intensity. Quite possibly, civilization as we know it will collapse. Once crops fail, and massive infrastructure damage overwhelms our financial ability to rebuild - there is no telling exactly how and when this plays out - other than it's going to be much sooner than later, and will be horrific.
I am a dutch citizen, lived 10 years in Indonesia, 35 years in the USA and currently in Nepal.
I am stunned about the lack of understanding and information reg. climate change in Nepal. In the mountain villlages recently water supply practically stopped, because hardly any rain this winter No government officials visiting or informing people about water conservation . Constantly cutting of trees for cooking, which causes land slides during monsoon. People aren't changing, because no alternatives offered.
Thank-you for sharing.
Much of South East Asia is very close to a wet bulb emergency today as are India and the Middle East. Parts of Texas are close to overheating as well.
Y la cuidad de Mexico tambien. People are starting to perish, along with monkeys.
I don't want to sound too negative, but a lot of people here in south east Asia don"t even know about climate change. Every year forests are burned and we have the worst pollution with a high CO2 output. The big catastrophes are imminent and needed. After that the people will eventually change something.
I,ve got my gas heater turned up to the max, here in North Queensland
and even with the heater on, it's still only 64F 19 C.
And the air is as dry as a bone.
If this was in the Northern Hemisphere, we're about the same latitude as Cuba!
Gerbil Warming indeed.
At Brasil the intraseasonal waves that displaces ever winter from Antartic to the nort into the equatoward direction, are not gettinf strength enough to git until Sai Paulo.
Maybe start by stop destroying the largest tropical rainforest on the planet..a climate and weather stabilizer...not to mention its vast species diversity.
“the weather could get warmer in the next 50 to 100 years”
Is that the best climate scientists can do? I blame the climate scientists from not taking this problem seriously enough. They’re afraid to make bold statements, so they stay conservative in their opinions, afraid of any backlash from the oil lobby and their paid mouthpieces. Scientists generally, as a group, avoid conflict; they’re not fighters. They don’t have that kind of personality required to confront loud, obnoxious and pushy oil industry lobbyists. The end result is millions more people will die from extreme weather events.
Lobbyists love money and power, not a problem to use lies to not panicking folks
Talking about Climate Apocalypse is relaxing,
as one scapes from that sense of anxious
solipsism. As Aubenque says on Aristotelian
dialectics, talking about metaphysics (the TOE)
or an unsolvable process like this is, although
it does not end in a definitive solution, allows
us to fulfill our need to talk about it with each
other at the most general and human level.

We are without any doubt in this situation because of our education. Education is very important but we have not a clue what is right education.
We are educated to function in a society that requires machines, technicians. The pressure they put on children to perform and input as much as possible data(80% or more is forgotten) is stupid.
We have not a clue how to educate children as we ourselves don’t know how to live in harmony with are environment.
And about the people of the oil companies, banks and governments were children once, the are just the children with the best positions. And 95% of the people in the world in their positions would do exactly the same thing.
We are in this shit because of human nature, not because of this human or that human, because of human nature and the sick society it has bred.
Human being nature for Patanjali is something else of what you described
Sure the majority of the actual society have not read yet

800 Million! Bring out the three -leg stool. Super!
Thanks for caring for S/E Asia, but updates on Climate Emergencies in the Americas would be more welcome, eg Canada, Texas, Brasil, etc.
There's anyway another place getting more brutally 'destabilised' right now with respect to environmental & educational issues.
It's Not in S/E Asia, but it's a place which had a literacy rate of 98%!
It's people were surviving from farming & fishing, in spite of living in an Open-air Prison.
Eight months of Genocide & Ecocide in Gaza will take 80 years to remove rubble, asbestos & clear the unexploded ordinances (graciously provided by US Gov to Israel), to rebuild housing, hospitals, SCHOOLS & Universities.
So, don't worry about us US, just keep away & mind your own environmental, educational, societal & health care problems! They're manifold & could be sorted with a fraction of the profits raised by both, the US industrial-military complex & the subsidised fossil fuel industries.
It is raining season in Southeast Asia Malaysia this month. Yes before it is too hot in Mac and April about 33 to 37 celcius. In raining day, it's about 26 to 31 celcius. Such a blessing because not too hot like Mac & April.
GAT (Global Average temperature) represents Ocean Surface Temperature. Land Areas warm by 2X - 4X in the Summer. That is why India, Thailand and many parts of S E Asia are seeing 10'c higher Temperatures. Texas is about to set its Temperature Record. Texas has already had Floods, Burns, Sewer Spills, Power Outages and now comes the Heat Dome.
Very Smart! Thank you!
i know i’m going to get yelled at, but is anyone looking at the rapid decreasing magnetic field of the earth, and the shifting magnetic poles? this decreased magnetic field in the earth minimises our protection from solar and space weather, combined with the 11 year cycle solar magnetic field which peaks in instability next year as the sun reverses its polarity.
No one person should have 5200 ducks. Poor ducks.
It is hard to take seriously an academic who does not acknowledge that the increased solar activity is not a key driver of this extreme weather. Are the humans responsible for the extra volcanic activity? The handwringing is pointless now --- deal with the new reality and so what is the plan (to deal with millions of people expiring from unrelenting extreme weather, and the ensuing break in the supply chain and the inability to effect repairs from extreme weather events).
And the collapse of society requires us to re-imagine how to survive in small, self-sufficient social groupings by growing food, saving water, respecting basic human rights and trying to avoid environmental damage from careless fires (many fires in Canada and the US started by campers or smokers).
OVER POPULATION, MONEY AND GREED HAS DONE THIS
I am as concerned as the speakers and wondering if we need local heat reduction methods, solutions and education. No one is informing them and the governments are not doing a good jobs at all.
Climate change is here !! Look at all the volcano flooding and tornado wildfires and on and on drought sad because of money !!! can't eat money ! Need to get ready we have about 3-5 years left so go home and be with family and stay safe !!
Note that high temperature in humid regions generate even higher temp realfeel!
thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks for your support.
Thank you God bless!🏞️🌅💖🕊️🙏
You are so welcome
Very good to report. But when temperatures are read 90 degrees, you must add 25 degrees to 90 . There are surrounding weather temperature, which have been used throughout history. But true temperature reading is from direct sunlight heat . = 25 to 30 degrees. 30 degrees are constant. So Africa and India faces same conditions.
China is opposite, with Russia . Cold .
Humans: "Dieing for a Bag of Gold"-- hold it tight!-- it helps with that sinking feeling!
Takk to Paul Beckwith, he is open to talking to people.
Obrigado, Eduardo - Brazil.
Overpopulation.
Yes. This is the number one cause of all this mess. The earth's biosphere thanks those who have made the eco-responsible choice of not adding more uselessly-needed humans onto this massively overpopulated planet with rapidly depleting resources and catastrophic climate change previsions.
How is this affecting the crops? After the heat come starvation? Tell us something important.
Has anybody explained why Greenland had melting spikes in May and April?
Will we see "million death" days, from this
Wait until the emerging lethal viruses take hold. Like Europe in 1348 where no one was left to bury the dead and 35-50% mortality from the Black Death.
It's funny hearing this lady say 92 degrees is extremely hot. LOL, That's a very nice day here in Texas. Really just preheating for the summer months which are often 100 -110+ degrees.
wonderful presentation once again
Thank you! Cheers!
Regina, you tempt me to come to NY for coffee ❤
We ain’t getting out of this one alive. Sadly.
I watched it form weeks ago !! Last year was brutal ! 50c in sone parts of india
No-one is going to change the corporate mind... it's tongue is stuck to the frozen lamp post-- it mumbles under its breath as it knifes you in the back-- "corporate greed (Creed)".
Also, it's nice to see that nature likes to have some time for Wreckreation once in a while...
it will go on regardless of whether it can't
Nothing will change until the sea level increases by a couple of meters, so until then just enjoy the show !
Why is this affecting mainly SE Asia and India? So it is the belt between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. That's where most of the rapidly developing countries are in. So now the pressure to reduce emissions are put on these countries in particular. Hmm, I wonder why this is so!
Ther's no solution the tempreature will keep increasing adapt to survive.
We are all to blame not just a few corporations. You want to deny the masses their carnal instincts of comfort. Do you think abortion would an issue if sex wasn't pleasurable. I'm glad your all awake but your going to have incentivise the masses desires. Co2 is plant food so an economy based on mining co2 is what's needed and in a hundred years there qont be enough co2 in the air.
Your wisdom is exceptional! The world needs more people like you!
Whew. We are lucky school is out for the summer

If you compare life 200 years ago, everything was much more slowly but much more healthy! Not like today, where everybody is stressed out and everything is about consumption and growth for the industry bosses and big international businesses!
Thank you for your provision of precious information. I am grateful.
You're welcome!
