As we enter the month of June, scorching temperatures are already making deadly heat waves around the world. Data confirmed last month was the hottest May on record, putting the Earth on a 12-month streak of record-breaking temperatures. On Wednesday, the World Meteorological Organization announced there is an 80% chance the average global temperature will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for at least one of the next five years. "We're going to see a more chaotic planet as the climate heats up," says Jeff Goodell, a journalist covering the climate crisis. Goodell describes "the heat wave scenario that keeps climate scientists up at night": a major power outage that could cut off air conditioning and cause thousands of deaths from extreme temperatures.
In Mexico, it's already so hot that howler monkeys and parrots are falling dead from the trees. "What we're experiencing right now goes beyond what is normal," says Ruth Cerezo-Mota, climate researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. "We have been saying this for many years now."

Democracy Now NEVER strays from the WEF UN narraitives.. never an original thought. Just narrative and propaganda.
Stop begging money from these little kids all they have is their parents allowance
You People with your cloud seeding are the cause
But who really cares! Waging senseless wars seem to be more captivating!!!
Also pays huge dividends to the weapons makers and war instigators.
Plus they're causing staggering pollution.
I write that in comments around the wars....no border protects against the man made cimate change...but I know these war people will not listen....but hey can not escape what's coming to them or us further on down the road because of this...maybe they will realize how stupid they have behaved !?
It would be better to stop the wars than to waste time trying to fight the Sun
@@scottingleman8103 Of course we should try to stop the wars. Abut the "cooking of the Globe" as Guterres calls it these days, not up heating..."cooking", for me, I believe it is man made by burning fossil fuels, I started to worry in the late 60s already. A climate scientist working at NASA told that four or five represntatives of the biggest oil companies was called to the congress in the US to talk about this burning of oil, and they all agreed that it was the fault of burning of fossil fuels that have created this up heating...so would they stop lying about it in ads ? the congress asked, and the representativs said no! The scientist told this on Democracy Now some time ago, and could even give the names of these represtatives.
WHY would you TRY and WORK for a living if it's going to KILL YOU ..LET THE RICH MEN DO THEIR OWN DAMN WORK!
Capitalism is in direct conflict with climate change. And I have a feeling capitalism will win out.
Great question! Imagine for a moment that no human being had to make 'money' to access basic needs to survive. That would be a universal human right society where no business or rich person could coerce another group of humans to submit to dangerous labor in exchange for often low wages and barely scraping by to meet basic needs and pay bills. That's the type of freedom capitalist society and the defenders of capitalism have pushed away from for over 100 years!
But the type of freedom that we need is also the society we need to build for ourselves, because corporation aren't coming to save us.
Try One Small Town for example. Bottom-up organization, for the people, by the people. Add on to that organization the concepts of Library Socialism and we can quicker than we think get to ecological luxury for all.
@@Jack-bs6zb I can see you’re a big supporter of the Revolutionary Communist Party International. You weren’t conditioned into a capitalism supporter who denies the inherent inequality, ecological instability and structural violence of capitalism, right? Of course you’d never fall for that propaganda because you read a lot and use reason and evidence to come to conclusions.
Our leaders expect such a malaise. Could it explain the relaxed immigration enforcement on our southern border? FEMA camps for dissidents?
@@coolioso808 ... Whose obligation would it be for providing your 'basic needs' (whatever that means) free of charge? Who pays for your free stuff by right? Or should it appear at the bottom of your bed each morning? Businesses don't 'coerce' labour, only gulags in your Communist regimes do that. Sounds as though you don't like your job down at MacDonalds.
What is 'ecological luxury'? Sounds like a Leftist euphemism for collective farming. ... without, of course, the machinery manufactured by those hated businesses. Look what happened to Stalin's Kulaks in your Socialist Nirvana. You've got to be a teenager to be so naive.
This ride is over. What killed us is greed 😢.
The greed of a few, no less. An inefficient economy is the lifeblood of a greedy capitalist. And I refuse to call the problem 'consumerism' because it's not the fault of the "consumers". It's the producers or rather the capitalist owners of the means of production of goods and services. Creating a disposible economy is most profitable and looks best on the quarterly report.
The reason for the ongoing destruction of our beautiful planet os as sad, sick and banal as that.

@@LabGoats Consumers should take some of the blame. I agree the capitalists are extremely good at persuading us to consume though, and should take more of the blame.
@@SamWilkinsonn They (we) shouldn't take any blame. The USA does supply-side economics, and our system is deeply plutocratic. Demand is created here not answered to. It's not about what a country and it's people need. It's about how much the capitalists in that country can sell you and extract from you. So US capitalists created an unsustainable and coersive system that prioritizes quarterly profits above all. The disposable culture we find ourselves in wasn't of our own making. It was manufactured by people trying to get more of our money and labor just like the rest of our system.
@@LabGoats If any of your Leftist 'renewable' solutions were even remotely efficient and cost-effective they would _instantly be adopted,_ without forcing an ESG Compliance taxes on Americans to send to lndIa, that already takes $200,000,000,000 out of our economy and is the most polluted desertified nation on Earth.
Already resigned myself, if world aggression don't take living life down, climate change will. Just being honest. No ceasefire in Gaza, Ukrainian ongoing war, no real moves away from fossil fuels, reliance on cars, no push toward mass transit, last climate summit considered a joke. Those with money to buy their way through, for awhile. Keep up the good fight, Amy. Thank you.
You're spot on, we're doomed one way or the another. I guess the only respite is the global phenomenon of decreasing birth ratio. People are no more interested in bringing up a family anymore, thanks to the ever increasing costs, more and more layoffs, and the honorable condoms.

Is the colonizer who loves war and the rich people with private jets the making of weapons, etc, etc causing the problems start with them first
Exactly. Some of the people who scream "climate changer" the most are also the greatest war mongers. They meet in Davos Switzerland with their private jets, eat adn drink the finest food, get entertained by elite hookers and tell us peons not to use gas stoves because of climate change.
by the way, the heat we experience comes mainly from the earth crust beneath us adn also from the asphalt city jungles. It will not be solved with EV's and solar panels.

Worshipping the earth when the creator of it warned us 2023 years ago.
Many of us are not surprised in the least...only heart broken at the self interest in the past and present. I designed my tiny house to remain cool and warm in the Midwest with less to no a/c reliance and in the winter passive solar gain to reduce heat pump demands. I was considered an outlier in the building industry for my demands. My European designed mist shower uses less than one gallon for the entire shower and gets me wetter in 9 minutes and equally as clean as a regular shower. Earning minimum wage I purchased a used electric car saving me money to buy solar panels. It saddens me so greatly people with more resources haven't the capacity within themselves to imagine living differently. They are part of a world built to consume. They don't have to be.
Really appreciate your efforts. True, whatever small bit we can do, we must do for our planet. But who is listening? People are busy decrying the climate change, saying how it is not real when the evidence to the contrary is everywhere around us! I feel so apologetic to our future generations. They are not going to forgive us!

Changing your individual consumer and lifestyle habits is the last thing on the minds of climate advocates. It’s not the focus or solution. It’s the energy grid and infrastructure, and to a lesser extent, transportation options and agricultural practices, etc. The current transition to renewables needs to happen a lot faster and the government needs to stop approving new massive fossil fuel projects.
Wind and solar are made with coal and gas. "Renewables" are just new products for you to consume. Neither together or separately will they ever provide the amount of electricity we need to continue as we are now. Ever. What they do is pollute whole new areas of the planet, killing ecosystems by destroying wilderness for rare earth metals required for the batteries.

This is completely false. Check historical temperature records and see for yourself, May simply was not hotter than ever. We are being lied to.
Precisely. I live in ireland, and for us may was the coldest, wettest may,and so far this month, it has been tje most dismal, cold June I can remember in my 57 years on this planet. And yet even our media over here have been gas lighting us, saying how may wad the hottest may on record! As if we haven't just had the living experience of the exact opposite!
Vancouver, Canada (west coast) a fairly cool May, lots of rain, and June cloudy, some nice sunny days but nights and mornings always unusually cool til now (June 11).
Arizona here. Pretty nice May. Summers are always hot here. The average temperature in Phoenix is higher but more because of pavement. Global warming is a scam.
I live in England. May was unusually rainy and chilly. June 13th today and it's been the coolest, wettest June I can recall. The weird thing is, our Media is telling us it was our hottest May since records began! As if we weren't all cold and wet after all. Bizarre.
I live in Ireland as well. It's nearly midsummer and it's been raining so much this summer, it's raining as I type this comment.
I used to fall for the climate crisis doomsday lies, but no longer. Before the Europeans' mass migration of the US, euphemistically referred to as "Manifest Destiny," there were over 9 billion (yes, billion) buffalo living in the plains. There are only 1 billion cows on the entire planet right now, but somehow, they are producing too much GHG emissions. I recognise that industry has impacted our environment, but the maths isn't mathing.
Paint rooftops WHITE to reflect sunlight like clouds do!
Rooftop gardens in large metro areas can acutallly help. Unfortunately we as a species usually design our cities for the profit of a few rather than for efficiency and environmental friendliness.
As far as white rooftops go, once the light rays that produce heat are already to your roof they're mostly trapped in our atmosphere. Even if you reflect them up most of that heat is stopped by the air between here and the vacuum of space. And the higher co2 levels mean even more heat trapped.
Idiots🙄 you are being scammed. They want new financial system based on co2 as asset credits etc. They ate liars , and they is a large group. Soon you will be paying taxes for the air you breath...wake up.

@@organboi the ground temps can get that hot. Depending on the materials, when the sun hits it, it can radiate that much heat. Thats why the noaa takes the temps high in the air, away from the ground. It’s cheating because in reality, you feel the 120. You aren’t 50 feet in the air. Walk out onto the beach on a sunny day around 2 when it hasn’t rained. That sand isn’t 90 degrees.

We can't do anything about solar cycles or any other natural cause of global heating even if they actually are contributing, and that is very disputed. We CAN do something about our contribution.
We can, but it`s not enough. Sun is contributing a great deal in here. Just as vulcanoes, ocean currents. Maybe if the Sun gets too angry we will get `lucky` and bigass vulcano farts. Only we won`t like it. It could get way too cold, as it was before.

This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

No shade and water break. Back to work. Line must go up.
Too bad the US can't elect a female climate scientist for president. Viva Mexico!
Mexico has it's problems but AMLO and Claudia S. are offering real hope as leaders. She wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected in the U.S. -- that's how dismal the politics are up here. Closest candidate we have is Jill Stein ... but she'll only get a couple percent of the votes. (I'll vote for her.)
😂 no we good with men
@@randygraham926 Me too! Jill Stein 2024!
@@randygraham926 You could soon probably say "A snowball's chance on earth"... Capitalism and saving the planet are very much at odds with each other.
That would be the end of freedom, democracy, economy. That would literally be worse than Trump lol.
Here in the northeast its harder to convince people, as its mainly downright cold temperatures for this time of year. We're just getting warmer winters, which lots of people are just fine with. Mainstream media wont touch stories like this.
Air conditioning adds more emissions to the air making the situation ever worse.
Martian soon , tell me how a house air conditioner directly makes the air worse.
@@mikewallace8087 Air conditioner needs electricity and with our current energy is globally produced with around 80% via fossil fuels.
This means using air conditioner adds more ghg's to the atmosphere. And that adds the overall heating leading needs for more air conditioners, electricity and ghg's... Worsening loop is ready.
Also burning fossil fuels adds aerosols, that are globally killing 6-10 million people per year. And during heatwaves the air is dry, so hardly any rain washes the impuries from the air, so harmful aerosol amounts peaks too.
Also during the heatwave the electricity demand peaks, mainly because of air conditioning. And this means we use most pollutive energy sources to get enough electricity. So if the electric company has diesel generators as backups, they are using them during heatwaves.
@@martiansoon9092 And you can apply that to E Vehicles too.
@@mikewallace8087 Not similarly. Combustion engine and what it needs creates direct emissions and is often not in that great condition. EV's pollute less due to less enegy usage and more capable transfer of power.
A/C creates additional consumption and its wide usage is peaking at certain conditions like heatwaves. This forces to use even most pollutive power plants in the network.
When EV amount rises and energy usage rises at more predictable ways, we can just add renewable energy that is needed all the time. But we has to change to zero fossil fuels, so EV's and A/C can be much cleaner in the future.
Fossil fuel cars needs constant supply of oil/gas. This means huge mining, processing, transportation and storing operations. Far more than EV's and renewable energy with storages needs. Daily needs for fossil fuel industry is just enourmously overconsumptive.
Renewables with autonomous community owned EV's is even far better alternative. Mass transport is bit better than that. But even better would be cities where gaining needed items and working does not need any vehicles (specially inside the city).
Your last paragraph describes a society where the underclass citizens have no mobility to travel and the privileged will be able to travel where they want. International travel will be forbidden for the common person . There is an old movie called Metropolis illustrating that sort of life. Maybe it is desired to reduce the population of Earth ?

The Earth has gone through these cycles for Millions of years.
In the Central Valley California the Temperature is normal for June 10th, 2024 at 0330 p.m. 90 degrees.
Very right 👍
This is on top of much of the population having diseases already. 😢
Wow so heartbreaking for Mexico
Only for our fellow Species , not humans .
its bleak but we gotta keep trying, I wanna be able to tell my future grandkids that I did everything I could to avoid this
You can’t stop it. The world is over.
Since I was a boy, EVERY SUMMER I hear the SAME SONG.
It's title is "THE HOTTEST SUMMER OF ALL TIMES!"
Talk about disinformation- here it is.
But the majority of people in Arizona prefer to reject science and facts. It’s so sad.
You say that every year. We have the same weather
every year it just fluctuates when it happens. Always have always will. But keep on bringing more people in here. Keep on building more houses. This is just a way to get more money from the tax payers. You politicians just get richer and richer while the rest of us live in poverty.
The ice age is ending. The dinosaur lived on a hot tropical earth not on snow
The weather has been truly rubbish in the UK. Cold and wet! It didn't even get above 13c today 10th June 2024. That's cold - and it rained too.
The planet has warmed up before but not at this speed.
what has speed to do with anything. your grasp of geological time is that of an infant
How do you know?
@@freedomruss the chemical and fossil record left behind.
Indeed. The current rapid rise in global average temperature since the industrial revolution doesn’t even come close to corresponding to heating patterns that occur in any of the various natural cycles of climate change over time. To suggest so is insane.
@@solarflares2547 so it's not co2 then. All previous research has concluded that temps rise first, then co2.
It's freezing in the UK, coldest June I've ever experienced...
Here in Netherlands too
Building need to be built to • prevent heat from building up inside structures • plus allow heat to escape from the top of structures • drawing in cooler air from below!
People works all down...
We have to stop maschines! We have to say NO to most of work just for money and so industrie...
Say Yes to directly work for All Life..
Climate change is a serious human problem. Scientists still believe we can do somehing to curb this catastrophic man-made disaster. There is a way, all of us must participate .....which is difficult but possible
Carbon tax doesn't work. Don't even try it.
Reducing animal agriculture by stopping eating meat is something we can all do NOW
@@LucieCreates should I release my flock of chickens and rabbits to the wild to be eaten by mink, raccoons and vultures? Seems kinda foolhardy doesn't it?
@freedomruss
“We should stop eating meat”
Is not the same as
“Release all your farm animals into the wild”
So I’m not sure why you said that
@@SeaCowsBeatLobsters that's right "stop eating meat" is closer to "starve your brain of critical nutrients"
PLease look at the changes in the sun's activity before blaming us humans for the increasing tempertatures on panet Earth!💚
Last July Phoenix had 31 - 110+ degree days in a row. And if that wasn't enough 6 of those days (in a row) were 115+. We are now the biggest heat island on the planet, overnight temps are 13 degrees warmer than they used to be.
The failures of capitalism.
Communist China polutes way more than capitalist countries which have cut energy use dramatically. Another success of capitalism, again, for the 100 millionth time.
Cool fact. Western Australia also had its hottest May on record.
It is currently winter.
They really meant global when they said global warming huh 🥲
Cool fact, Britain has just had a very cool May after a very cool and wet April, but of course we’re told they were the hottest ever recorded.
In the UK its freezing cold and windy ,raining ,they said it would be the hottest summer ever recorded 😂
time for us to ban together too save our Planet before its to late . Excellent interview by the two host .
It hasn’t hit Raleigh Durham yet but I think it will in July which definitely won’t be good.
Lowest January temperatures in recorded history here in Oslo. Heavy snowfall throughout April, and temperatures just above freezing at night now in June .....
Forgive me if I'm tempting to believe that Global Warming may be a thing somewhere else, not here. Maybe not all that "Global"...
Don't confuse weather with climate. Extreme weather changes are the result of climate breakdown. We are all connected on one planet.
@@Amy-vu9eu But this is what separates a scientific theory from a religious assertion. A theory proper makes predictions and the events that follow can be tested against the prediction. A theory from which every event - heat, cold, storm - follows has zero predictive power and is hence just an assertion.
And don't forget - those who assert that the climate catastrophe is upon us use heat waves and droughts all the time to make their point. I am hence very much entitled to use a chilly June as a counter argument.
3:01 We are not only in danger, we are the danger. Now, say my name.
You're Antonio Guterres.
You're goddam right.
Absolute bollox, we had our wood stove on until the end of may this year. only just changed into our summer bedding, just as it turned cold again last night. If you live in a desert and get shocked because it's hot, perhaps you need your marbles looking at.
Agreed... Meanwhile, in Gaza and Sudan.
It's not just about you, Mr Bollox. Weather and climate change are not the same. Your cold area will continue to get cold. You will lose your local growing season. But, since you're pleased with your current weather. No sweat for you. Enjoy it
Please go solar. Electric vehicles, public transportation, organic farming; the list goes on. Please research! 🔬
sure but the government needs to force the transition to renewables to happen faster and stop approving expansions of fossil fuel infrastructure. Individual consumer choices only go so far.
China is producing cheap $10,000 dollar EVs but Biden and EU are slapping tariffs on them so we can't buy them. Same for solar panels. Not going to get better with the scum we have as "leaders".
I ride a bike too work for 24 years. Alone.
We need fewer McMansion second and third homes, far less logging, planting more trees, an end to fracking, less reliance on plastics, limits on unnecessary water use, fewer SUV’s and trucks, less unnecessary trips with our vehicles, fewer industrial farms, more personal gardens and home canning, more reliance on locally produced goods, the repurposing of items instead of discarding things, and the list goes on and on. The amount of waste and abuse of our environment is heartbreaking. 💔🥺
Cutting down trees and greenery are the issue. Plus, I was in Phoenix 15 years ago and it a115 degrees.
It's ALWAYS 115 degrees in Phoenix summers. What are you talking about?
The people need to understand that it is a natural global phenomenon. We need to readjust or relocate. Where I live we have scorching summer and cold winter. I found that I needed to redesign my house and change the type of design of doors and windows.
Most people across the world do not own their homes, and even among the ones who do, few can afford to do things like this. We need systemic solutions, not individual ones
Some people need to follow the truth instead of the narrative.
Should have asked her about the earrings
This is very scary. We see that the people in power have steered us to this. Now they shield themselves from the consequences. Brings up a lot of questions. I will leave it at that.
❤ thank you DN
This Planet has a RIght to Defend itself !!
☀️☀️☀️🥵🥵😮😮😵 the earth as we know it, is doomed🌎🔥🔥...
Keep in mind, there is no creature more capable of surviving heat than us, both naturally and technologically. What's tough for us is apocalyptic form other creatures.
Stop with the 1.5c bullshit, we've past that threshold long ago!!!
👏 1.5 °C Long gone. Quote Berkley Earth "The global annual average for 2023 in our dataset was estimated as 1.54 ± 0.06 °C (2.77 ± 0.11 °F) above the average during the period 1850 to 1900"
@@davenally8672 according to the atmospheric scientist Andrew Glikson, we are already at 2.4c from the original 1750 baseline.
@@roberthornack1692 Wow I couldn't find a paper that confirms this but I don't doubt it could be true. In any case we are cooking on gas :)
There is a huge ocean underground 3x the size of surface oceans. When that surfaces due to effects of heat, it will blow all sea rise predictions out of the water cuz all predictions are made from ice cap melting.
Recently ocean temps were misjudged because temps were taken in one spot. A new test was taken globally and found we passed the threshold 3 years ago.
Imagine all the other things that are being missed.
Currently at least 1 2 tipping points are underway. Climate chaos will do anything: could have tornados in Antarctic. Hang on for a wild ride...
Plant more trees.
Stop cutting fishing lines
Stop overfishing and return balance to the ocean.
Were all doomed they will absolutely nothing!!!!!!! Talk talk talk !!!!!!!!!!
