look at history, every 20,000 years there is sudden climate change, an ice age or heatwave, that wipes out 99% of life. And then life builds back up again... thats the natural cycle that humans are trying to prevent when they talk about climate change. Climate has never been constant, its always fluctuating to extremes with or without us. Just because we had a few thousand years of steady climate dosnt mean it could last forever.
No open all your windows and doors, drink lots of cool water and use a fan, avoid strenuous activity. Sit with your feet in cool water, use a spray bottle to mist water over yourself while using a fan. There's lots of ways to cool down, don't underestimate how deadly heat can be especially for toddlers and the elderly, anything over 40° is brutal.
I am Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. For thousands of years we have been fighting fire with fire in Cultural Burns, which take away the fuel loads.

I live in Utah and it’s unseasonably hot here as well but we’re pretty use to it. It’s all global warming, we need to do more to take care of our world and the ecosystem. I don’t think people understand the impact it’s been having on certain areas that could lead to animal extinction.

US pentagon does not have to report emissions, and our military is responsible for much of the world's pollution. I am embarrassed by my country and our leadership.

Or I should turn on my AC and put more stress on the energy grid and waste energy when I'm comfortable without having the AC on?
We've just moved to an area with more weather extremes, and don't have an ac. Haven't died yet, just open the house at night to cool off, and close up during daylight. Works OK with a couple of fans.
Wear loose light colored cotton clothes outside (seersucker is the best) and inside take a cold shower, DONT dry off or wear clothes, and lay in front of a fan (you’ll shiver) if you have long hair don’t dry it and put it in a pony tail and your wet hair will keep you cool for at least an hour. After you’ve taken several cold showers and don’t wanna run up your water bill fill up a big bowl with ice and a little water put it in front of a fan, sit directly in front of it and you have instant AC. If this heat wave had high humidity then it’d be a legitimate problem and a lot of people would die but this is dry desert heat where you can easily cool off with water.

Sadly for the inhabitants of the Earth, you are most likely right! You probably have studied many weather plagues of the ages past, such as: the seven years of famine mentioned in the Bible, mini ice ages and so on. If most of the forests on our planet are just around three hundred years old, does humanity know, what hapened to the forests that existed before the current ones? Experts who are paid to talk about the weather issues should look into the past more than 300 -500 years. There is wisdom to observation, that those children who can see the patterns, do very well in all of their studies. It's a mystery, why modern climatologists don't look for weather patterns over hundreds of years. They assume they know it all by just looking at less than 200 years of weather records.
Let's start with "car free Sunday" for those of us that can do that. I use my bicycle more frequently now for shorter trips where a car is not a must ... 😉😉

You need a desert life expert from saudi Arabia. The first thing you do is cover your head with something light and ventilating. Stay indoors at noon time you can leave the house after 4pm. Always carry water with you. When you come back home from outside, open your freezer and bury your head in it. Before you walk in heat try to wet your face and hair and also your back and sides. Thats it. Stay cool 😎
When I see people drive to the shops when they could have walked or taken the bus I think to myself 'you selfish, lazy bastards' . I think cars should be taxed way more. Build more rails and improve public transport and then ban petrol and diesel cars. Scrap them forever
Exactly. I would be glad, if cars got expensive like private jets. That would probably stop people from buying them. Or lets allow them just for certain fields (firefighters, police and emergency). Roads would become less crowded and the air would be much cleaner.
@@marcelkurz134 yeah. However, not having a car is still better than polluting cities. We should focus on every fraction of our lives. Buying local food, eating less meat, travel by bike/public transportation, saving water, using less electricity etc.
@@TheSekaf That is true. But giving up mobility is a hard sell. I live in Western Europe and the infrastructure is pretty good. But in my youth on the countryside, you either had someone with a car or stayed put at home. In cities the story is different
@@marcelkurz134 what if cities are the most sufficient habitat for humanity? In other words, we establish wild parks for animals where they can live freely. Cities could be like those wild parks, but for people. We can grow fruit and vegetables without any problem even in the cities. And we can process meat there as well. The only problem is probably the amount of food we can make in the cities. But if we make the food reliability and the whole process efficient (reduce excess nutrition together with obesity) we could hopefully rely only on the food made there.
The global average temperature has been falling two years straight, so no this is not a consequence of global warming: it's a result of La Nina migrating dry polar airmasses towards the ITCZ - a cooling pattern (which is why global temps are falling)...
Exactly right, but climate change is one of the Globalists' agendas they are pushing as a means of controlling the masses, so the sheeple will continue to believe it.

Today’s humidity in southern England was only 20%. If it were 60% or 70+ then yea it would be an emergency and people would die but at 20% it’s a dry heat and is like what you find in southern Spain or Las Vegas. You can easily cool off with water in dry heat. Take a cold shower don’t dry off and go lay down in front of a fan and you will be chilly and comfortable for at least an hour. Once you dry off either do it again or put a big bowl of ice in front of a fan sit directly in front of it and you have instant AC. The media is making a mountain out of a mole hill on this.

When its 37 degrees in nothern Germany you know its bad
And let’s not forget, the warming is exponential, not linear because of the feedback affect.
look at history, every 20,000 years there is sudden climate change, an ice age or heatwave, that wipes out 99% of life.
And then life builds back up again... thats the natural cycle that humans are trying to prevent when they talk about climate change.
Climate has never been constant, its always fluctuating to extremes with or without us.
Just because we had a few thousand years of steady climate dosnt mean it could last forever.
And at the same time, Europe need to cope with Ukraine war. Not lucky year.
You are forgetting Covid19
Very Knowledgeable.
Listen and take every day with caution.
The world is changing... quickly... stop being nostalgic and take action.
Mylar space blankets and Gorilla tape ... cover your windows from the outside. It helps keep the heat away if you lack air conditioning.
And leave it there ready for the winter.
No open all your windows and doors, drink lots of cool water and use a fan, avoid strenuous activity.
Sit with your feet in cool water, use a spray bottle to mist water over yourself while using a fan.
There's lots of ways to cool down, don't underestimate how deadly heat can be especially for toddlers and the elderly, anything over 40° is brutal.
Covering your window from the outside does help . Last year I used a tarp with the silver side out and it made a difference .

I am Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. For thousands of years we have been fighting fire with fire in Cultural Burns, which take away the fuel loads.

Germany talking about the importance of climate change and at the same time turning to coal fired power stations for energy. So ridiculous is this world we live in today
Get used to it. That's the western's hypocrisy - I can do it but not you.
Yea Germany sucks a lot
Germany like entire west is hyppopotamus as f
That's because of Putin, not hypocrisy.
Easy! Germany is turning back to coal fired power generation because of the demand for power. Russian supplies have depleted. Are the people ready to cut down their power consumption at home, shut down factories and offices. If yes, then German government can take the high moral ground and stop power plants using fossil fuel.
I live in Utah and it’s unseasonably hot here as well but we’re pretty use to it. It’s all global warming, we need to do more to take care of our world and the ecosystem. I don’t think people understand the impact it’s been having on certain areas that could lead to animal extinction.
Nothing to do with "global warming" that is a lie. They are doing something to our atmosphere on purpose and HAARP & the hadron collider have something to do with this. There is an agenda they have in place. Wake up.

That is true. In an emergency a urine soaked T-shirt works as well.

@Admiral Kipper When compared to American tourists, the British are saints!😁
US pentagon does not have to report emissions, and our military is responsible for much of the world's pollution. I am embarrassed by my country and our leadership. It has been 38.2-38.8° where I live, in the southwest US, the past few days. I haven't used my AC to reduce energy, but I am fortunate since my apt stays comfortable. My heart goes out to all of you, dealing with extreme weather conditions.
It's comfortable until the power goes out. What then?
@@sbostic08 It would be the same since I don't use my AC, and can light a candle and read a book at night. During the day no power needed. Obviously, not ideal for the refrigerator. Not sure I understand your question...not using my AC is going to cause the power to cut out? Or I should turn on my AC and put more stress on the energy grid and waste energy when I'm comfortable without having the AC on?
We've just moved to an area with more weather extremes, and don't have an ac. Haven't died yet, just open the house at night to cool off, and close up during daylight. Works OK with a couple of fans.
@@sbostic08 did you not read what they said? No AC

@@defcreator187 Not in THIS heat, I'm practically on FIRE!
Wear loose light colored cotton clothes outside (seersucker is the best) and inside take a cold shower, DONT dry off or wear clothes, and lay in front of a fan (you’ll shiver) if you have long hair don’t dry it and put it in a pony tail and your wet hair will keep you cool for at least an hour. After you’ve taken several cold showers and don’t wanna run up your water bill fill up a big bowl with ice and a little water put it in front of a fan, sit directly in front of it and you have instant AC. If this heat wave had high humidity then it’d be a legitimate problem and a lot of people would die but this is dry desert heat where you can easily cool off with water.

I'm in Queensland now and it's colder here than usual and it's also strangely much wetter for this time of year so we've all got it different and very odd indeed. The east coast of Oz has flooded three times in the past few months as well. It's like the earth has tilted a little on it's side.
Its because there is a disruption in global weather systems due to man made climate change according to academics.
The earths axis has indeed shifted. Several articles on this out there.
They shouldn't have welded all the rails together
1976 I remember well 'hot for 6 weeks straight'.
The moment we in Southern Africa have been getting more and more cold fronts and rain this winter. I honestly can't wait for the sun to come back.
In Australia, we have had one of the coolest winters in years. Not only that, but there has been increased rainfall. Such a contrast to Europe.
You mean the temp from 48C to 50C not as the reporter says to 40C
Wait till the Atlantic current gets hotter. Rides from the Gulf of Mexico north. We can no longer ignore climate extremes. It’s here and it’s just the beginning!!
It is high time we invest in water pipe lines rather than oil.
Don't look up!

Will be interesting if we see wildfires in the U.K, I noticed 3 fire engines filling up with fuel yesterday at separate petrol stations, kind of unusual. My mothers house backs on to a forest, slightly worried!

@@PTSuperSte That's hardly 40 square miles. The entire UK is only 13% forested, that's worse than Turkey. My home province is 85% forest covered by comparison, 4 and a half times as many trees in just over 1/4 of your land area.

The heath land of Dorset is really prone to wildfires but so far we've been lucky this year.
That's why controlled fire is important, specially along roads, so people can escape by driving down the road without being cooked inside a car like it was a microwave

Also you have to rake the forest floor. like Finland do.
It is controlled fire, its to control the population with thier agenda, the fires arent wild fires.

Sadly for the inhabitants of the Earth, you are most likely right! You probably have studied many weather plagues of the ages past, such as: the seven years of famine mentioned in the Bible, mini ice ages and so on. If most of the forests on our planet are just around three hundred years old, does humanity know, what hapened to the forests that existed before the current ones? Experts who are paid to talk about the weather issues should look into the past more than 300 -500 years. There is wisdom to observation, that those children who can see the patterns, do very well in all of their studies. It's a mystery, why modern climatologists don't look for weather patterns over hundreds of years. They assume they know it all by just looking at less than 200 years of weather records.

There's more to come. This heat is coming from a solar storm that exploded on the sun last Friday.
Forget the rail lines! My tin of beer just blew itself open.
The good thing is this heat is hitting the rich countries, only until then we will see some action. Poor countries in Africa and Asia were ignored and rich people saw it as a far away phenomena but now is at their doorstep. Time to act!!!
Europe is on the forefront of fighting climate change. Usa russia china and india are the ones in denial
Time to enjoy yourself before civilization collapses and we go extinct
You need a desert life expert from saudi Arabia. The first thing you do is cover your head with something light and ventilating. Stay indoors at noon time you can leave the house after 4pm. Always carry water with you. When you come back home from outside, open your freezer and bury your head in it. Before you walk in heat try to wet your face and hair and also your back and sides.
Thats it. Stay cool 😎
When I see people drive to the shops when they could have walked or taken the bus I think to myself 'you selfish, lazy bastards' . I think cars should be taxed way more. Build more rails and improve public transport and then ban petrol and diesel cars. Scrap them forever
Exactly. I would be glad, if cars got expensive like private jets. That would probably stop people from buying them. Or lets allow them just for certain fields (firefighters, police and emergency). Roads would become less crowded and the air would be much cleaner.
privately owned cars are not the issue unfortunately. They cause a fraction of emissions
@@marcelkurz134 yeah. However, not having a car is still better than polluting cities. We should focus on every fraction of our lives. Buying local food, eating less meat, travel by bike/public transportation, saving water, using less electricity etc.
@@TheSekaf That is true. But giving up mobility is a hard sell. I live in Western Europe and the infrastructure is pretty good. But in my youth on the countryside, you either had someone with a car or stayed put at home. In cities the story is different
@@marcelkurz134 what if cities are the most sufficient habitat for humanity? In other words, we establish wild parks for animals where they can live freely. Cities could be like those wild parks, but for people. We can grow fruit and vegetables without any problem even in the cities. And we can process meat there as well. The only problem is probably the amount of food we can make in the cities. But if we make the food reliability and the whole process efficient (reduce excess nutrition together with obesity) we could hopefully rely only on the food made there.
Don't worry, when winter comes all the politicians will have forgotten the heat, rinse and repeat.
The global average temperature has been falling two years straight, so no this is not a consequence of global warming: it's a result of La Nina migrating dry polar airmasses towards the ITCZ - a cooling pattern (which is why global temps are falling)...
