  • Are you living in a city that's becoming a furnace? As the world's climate changes at an alarming rate, many cities are now facing life-threatening heatwaves. In this video, we explore which urban areas are most at risk and what steps you can take to stay safe.
    Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s here and it's scorching cities across the globe. Dangerous heatwaves are becoming the new normal, with temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels. A heatwave is typically defined as a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity, leading to serious health risks such as heat stroke, dehydration, and even death, particularly among vulnerable populations like the elderly and children.
    As global temperatures rise due to greenhouse gas emissions, heatwaves are becoming more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable because of the urban heat island effect, where concrete and asphalt trap heat, making cities significantly warmer than their rural surroundings.

    Hopefully we can make a committee to make inflatable balls that are 6 to 10 km so the humidity goes to the top of the ball and it turns into snow and we make as many balls as possible in order to remake the Arctic and I believe if we put these balls in the water that it would drop the global temperature because I believe that all temperature is directly related to the temperature of the ocean and hopefully we can form a committee to get this accomplished
