Thank goodness for that. I was so worried for the poor, poor billionaires. Phew!

Sad but true

Well , some crops need extreme high temperature for there blooming

There are volunteers trying to save as many monkeys as possible. Poor people and innocent animals all over the world paying the prize for what we do.

@@sancilice The animals are the birds in the mines. God will take his beautiful animals first and then humanity.

Florida is. Currently also in a heat wave.

Sell your car and don't use ac or eat food .....

😂... It also happens to me. There are people in India who are dying ,because of the heat. And the funny thing is that we're using coolers to cool down the Transformers 😂.

Not Hot Enough then! Your Sweat should Evaporate the second it leaks out of your pores!

@@Iceyfire12 unless the humidity is too high. Which it is. That means you sweat and it does not evaporate and your internal temperature goes out of control. It's deadly. Look up "wet-bulb temperature" to learn more about it.

Do you people believe in climate change?

​@@Iceyfire12High humidity makes evaporation difficult. Extra dangerous.

It's happening faster than I would have thought. Has precious time just went by so fast without us waking up and doing everything we can?

​@@lesliespeaker668yea , those cows that we are raising for steak's doing it's job plus the wars all over the places , what u expect , i bet this year will be very harsh on all of us

​@@cristianJoker2512 well said, there is too little focus on animal agriculture. The world needs to consume less animal products and more plants. Im baffled how a lot of environmental activists focus on big companies but continue to buy animal products. Bunch of hypocrits.

@@TinussssMay be true, but individual action is not an ineffective way to tackle the problem. We need international policy put in place immediately.

Economic growth is ok monopolies and corruption in energy sector real problem.

It will kill us all

We can grow, but not too fast and with the right path.

Yeah… thank you brother…now lets hope to meet in heaven!!

When I was a kid my city would reach 40ºC maybe once a year, sometimes not even that. When my parents were young, a hot day was 30ºC. Now we go over 40ºC several times a year, even outside of summer, and sometimes we've reached 45ºC. I'm scared of what this might look like in 50 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see places like Oslo at 40ºC, and I can only imagine what it'll be like in hot places. Places like India will probably become a wasteland if things don't change.

I’m from Northeast part of India and luckily we haven’t experienced 40• Celsius so far. 50• Celsius is something my state I hope would not reach. We are planting more trees and trying to plant indoor plants as well as using solar panels to reduce the limit of burning coals for electricity.

... That's good ... but please feel SOMETHING for our fellow Human Beings too !

@@bobbart4198yeah but we have options and understanding whats going on, we can move and turn on the ac. Animals cannot, they are the true victims in this mass extinction.

It didn’t reach 53 degrees tho

@@spandana5432 It will eventually !!!

You want economic growth. So what's your proposal?

​@@koushikdas1992government should decrease use of coal

The outcome: 'development' that does not provide jobs, education, water, electricity, homes, toilets, transportation to its desperate millions. 800 million have to be provided 5 kg of grain rations every month. The 'economy' in India's case includes that upper 10%, mostly belonging to the historically dominant non-worker castes.

@@SimonFranck100 the development in india is providing all things that you mentioned above

Just the same that every western developed country did before.

"Nobody thinks of changing it" Europe, having reduced emissions over the last years: "Am I a joke to you?"

We are at 422ppm of co2 average and going up by 2.55ppm / year average. 10 yeara ago we were going up by 2.2ppm. So not only are we still increasing CO2, the rate of increase is accelerating...

It was at no point ever stoppable by humans. We will have to learn to adapt.

Worst of all is so many people are in denial

It's 20 years too late.

34° is like spring for us, Indians.😂

@shashikant3150 Yeah but the point is it's not normal in April in Hong Hong just like 50° + isn't normal in India. This year is much hotter than normal so far.

@shashikant3150 The bigger joke is why you are still there…

Interesting view so truth when i been in south India 20 years ago truth that !!!! ❤ love to this great nation

Yes, that was something like my reaction when I first started watching this video. All I could see was road surfaces, bare yards, bare landscape. Where are the trees? This was once a lush, tropical landscape. Trees not only offer shelter over people's heads, they shade the ground and keep the ground cool. If the sun can't reach the ground, then it does not keep storing up the heat radiating down on it all day long, The ground (whether bare soil, asphalt or stone) basically acts like an Economy 7 heater, absorbing heat through the day, radiating it back out at night, so there is no relief at any time in the 24 hour cycle. Plants turn the sunlight into their food, but as soon as the sun goes down at night, the plants are instantly cool to the touch. They don't radiate back the heat. Plants also contain a great deal of water, another overlooked factor. As nations cut down forests for development, they 'release' more water into the water cycle. For every 1 degree Celsius global temperature rise - the atmosphere contains 7% more water vapour. That's actually a great deal of difference, explains the terrible increase in storms, tornadoes, floods and wet bulb events occurring around the planet. And until all the different human cultures around the world realise this, learn this, accept this, there's never going to be any change to our situations, whatever they may be.

India Population is ....

Have you ever been to India or just saying anything which comes to your third class mind?

@@abhinaysingh8306 He's right......Even in Kerala now there are concrete jungles and less greenary

as always happens coming out of a glaciation event.

​​@@rhetorical1488fun fact, we are currently out of our last glaciation cycle and are now slowly heading back towards the ice age over the next few tens of thousands of years.

Exactly. CO2 has been up to 6000ppm (Silurian period, 10 deg warmer) and more recently up to 3200ppm (Jurasic/Cretaceous period, 6 deg warmer). Good news is that the planet is now 10% greener than 100 years ago ("CO2 - its got what plants crave!") & coral reefs can now make a comeback. FYI: Average commercial greenhouses are set to 800-1200ppm to optimize plant growth.

@simonpedge we aren't dinosaurs, you know? We evolved warm bloodedness to help us survive lower than body temperatures. Jurassic period climate would literally cook every human outside of Canada and Sibera alive. Also, the C3 pathways of most plants we eat greatly reduce efficiency as temperature rises, and most plants we cultivate like temperate climates like us. We'll have to either GMO our crops to use C4 pathways and be drought resistant like a bloody catus or redomesticate nearly everything humanity has ever grown widely.

@@ginsederp Yep, these interglacial periods tend to be pretty short (10-15k years) followed by about 50k years of ice age (the trend over the last 500 thou to million years). Considering we came out out the most recent ice age 10-12k years ago, time might be nearly up - no wonder Elon keeps harping on about becoming a 'multi-planetary species'. A 20 to 30 degree drop wipes just about everything on the planet out & nobody really knows what causes the interglacials, just loads of hypothesis (increased solar output, Milankovitch cycles - we are pretty clueless as to the why)

Delhi has its hottest temps now. Rains should start soon, should at least.

Found the American

Summer months are May and June in India. July and August are rainy season months. After the first week of July the temperature never exceeds 40 Celsius in any part of the country.

Actually South Asian monsoons are again very destructive. They will start from June and last till August. August is not hot in India.

Not hot yet deadly, humidity combined with heat, deadly cocktail for outbreak of new disease , mutation of pathogens , so be prepared

Low information comment

Do you do everything in your power to help them? Have you stopped consuming animal products?

So true

@@Tinussss You might as well as a 'brick wall' people don't care

First rule of problem solving: leave the finger pointing til later.

I think you meant to say "completely normal for India."

​@@Omni0404yea almost it's going to rain soon

China still has 4 times the coal power, and in per capita emissions the US still leads China

And the price of Coal India's shares has been rising steadily...

@@Adi-bo5do That mindest is exactly the reason why we're in trouble.

@@Adi-bo5do China's overall carbon intensity of Indian electrical power is 582gCO2/kWh and dropping. US is 369gCO2/kWh and also dropping. Per capita CO2 gets skewed because that included oil and coal export from the US and coal mining in China. Plus both countries are on average colder that India and require heat. Electrical carbon intensity is a good comparo metric as it is levelized for any amount of electric gen, which is what the world is trying to switch to for most things.

​@@bonham1981 ya because of u did in 90s , we are struggling now

That will help, but a bigger factor will be to cut out the consumption of animal products. So if you care about the climate stop funding animal agriculture.

​@@Tinusssspeople can't understand this they can't leave non veg so we are just doomed here😢

Run on sentence.

but they would have to drive a prius, they rather kill the planet in a jeep

So what do you suggest?

@@spoonunit1 Reduce all driving and flying to absolute minimum. Eat locally grown produce. Severely reduce meat and fast food consumption. Pass local laws to allow front yard gardening, empty lot gardening, rooftop and patio gardening. Stop buying cheap clothing and merchandise that lands up in the landfill. Reuse, repurpose, repair, recycle. Be conscious of plastics (water in plastic bottles, REALLY?) The bottles put microplastic in the water and makes mountains of waste. We need to think of this as the crisis that it is!

@@spoonunit1 Drastically reduce all industries, goods and services that emit a lot of CO2.

Tell that to the climate science deniers.

end is near

Nepal is one of the few best countries who has done its best to deal with climate change…its livelihood depends on being in harmony with nature..tho they may be poor but they are rich in many ways

Swap economic with INDUSTRY and you’re on point. It’s industry destroying the world not commerce. Agriculture and heavy industry had GOT to reduce its footprint. Stop building so many roads and buildings with concrete that’s high carbon. Stop the heavy logging. Stop using coal and oil. Stop.

It produces 30 kg co2 to build 1 kg battery!

@@koushikdas1992 around 4 metric tons of co2 is produced making the battery for an average mid-sized electric car. But once that battery is made the co2 emissions from making it stop. Running an electric car from our current day carbon heavy electricity grid here in the UK produces around 1 metric ton of carbon per year. But the average brand new mid-sized petrol car produces around 4 metric tons of co2 every year. So that means once you've owned an electric car for 18 months you are outperforming a similar petrol car, and every year after that you're saving 3 tons of carbon. If the petrol car is driven regularly for 20 years, that's around 80 tons of carbon emitted. The electric car would produce 24 tons in that same time, providing we keep using fossil fuels to make electricity. If we swap over to mainly renewables, then that lifetime number for the EV drops dramatically Its the same for using batteries for grid scale uses. It's way better to spend some carbon making a battery once and then using that battery to harness renewable energy than just burn oil or gass and produce carbon the whole time. Not to mention that a lot of the new developments in large stationary batteries designed for national grids use much more abundant and efficient to produce elements like sodium, iron, and sulphur.

@@koushikdas1992 You are probably talking about Lithium Ion batteries. There are new technologies for long-term grid storage that are more eco-friendly.

All evil.

Having AC in houses cause more greenhouse gas generation. Education is important for congressi spoons.

​@@shashikant3150forget having effects of ac. They can't even afford an AC. 😂😂😂 2020 superpower

😑 seriously

As a Pakistani I would say it's not India's fault. Issue is with EUROPE AND USA ,CANADA producing so much of carbon emission. They consume so much of fossil fuel and electricity.

@@shashikant3150 Do you have AC at home bro?

Hottrst month in South Asia is May and sometimes zJune

And we've used (dispersed, or literally burned) all the easily available copper, iron and coal, so the next species to start up the technological ladder will have a much harder time of it.

Maybe they can start with solar and wind. There electric cars a hundred years ago, but not viable for industrial profiteering. So if they can build on a more communal thought process, they will be much more sustainable than angry, greedy human beings.

America has much to answer for as we historically have added more junk to the atmosphere than any other nation on earth. We continue to do so even now when the consequences of doing so are so obvious to anyone with a pulse. That's the definition of insanity. It will no doubt significantly lower America's standing in the global court of public opinion moving forward.

Okay bro😂 I hope Rahul Gandhi will install AC in every poor houses.

You joke, but we may well see unilateral geoengineering (e.g. stratospheric aerosol injection) from countries like India. If the situation gets desperate enough, if enough people start dying, of course every possible option will be tried, with or without international agreement.

​@@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEllwon't that cost billions to do??

@@dheerkapoor2398 Apparently it's surprisingly cheap, as these things go. Everything costs billions when we're talking about interventions on a scale that will have significant climate impacts. And really severe heatwaves that keep getting worse every year aren't exactly cheap either. The problem is we don't strictly know what the effects will be, and such an intervention could quite possibly have different net benefits/costs in different countries. Incentives to go ahead and take the risk are going to differ, while the effects obviously won't respect borders.

They barely have the means to live above ground. Underground needs ventilation. The slum economic model wouldn't work there. You can't build your own ventilation system from waste.

Australians from the hottest parts of Australia do EXACTLY that. And they enjoy their days underground very much. But they got everything they need built there. Zero AC needed of course. Naturally pleasant there, beautiful. Something tells me i will need to use the basement of my building here in southern Europe this summer. 😊 But i do have an AC in the living room and two strong fans in the bedroom, mostly for the night, to sleep better. But if i want to reduce my bills i do have a nice basement. Always amazed how much cooler the air is there compared to my apartment. If it's 40 C plus outside it will be even up to 15C lower temp in my basement. And completely naturally, without any AC. I love being there during our southern European heatwaves.

Why don't they just fly to a cooler climate for the summer months? /s

It's normal 😂and we can survive this temperature without air conditioner. We experienced zero degree few months back . We can tolerate zero and fifty three both.

@@Omni0404 cooler climate where?

I’m glad someone else noticed that. This 52.3 temperature was recorded at that same weather station so I’m skeptical this temperature actually happened

This year is coldest compared to upcoming years😢😮😢

Forget next year, imagine 2050 and beyond!!!

It is 53 Degree Centigrade here in Pakistan and each year heat is increasing. In a decade or two we will be facing 58 Degrees Centigrade thanks to climate change...

@@lessonsfromvillagelife That's horrifying. I melt at 29 degrees Celsius.

​@@Omni0404 29 C is considered nice weather in southern India 😂

@lessonsfromvillagelife Probably more because it is added by multiplicative means not simple addition. Every bit more CO2 makes us one step closer to Venus like planet.

I'm sure but you need to consume extra litres of water regularly or die. Ever seen elite marathon runners about the 20 mile mark in extreme heat? Nobody is fitter on planet yet their about collapsing.

But India has more humidity. Dry air with hot is manageable while humidity with hot hinder evaporation and sweating which at some point beyond any human bodies abilities to adapt

We built concrete jungle everywhere in India. My place is 6 degrees cooler thanks to trees in front of each house

bro thats a failure of system recorded system cause 52 degreee real degress was 43

That is why I am coming to Skardu the heat in Karachi is too much to withstand

carbon is not a pollutant simple child. every life form on this planet is made of it and the plants require it to make that lovely 02 you need to survive

​@@rhetorical1488Every single species with us today, millions and still uncounted millions more, survived 4000ppm CO2 possibly over 8,000ppm, then somehow survived an Earth mostly covered in ice. As Dr Jeff Goldblum has explained, _"Life...uhh...finds a way!"_

Carbon is not the enemy of the climate change. The power who controls the climate change agenda are the real culprit. They want to enslave and control people.

Fossil fuel is the major one.

Cement Manufacturing Process requires a temperature of about 2000 to 2500 Degree Celcious and such a temperature can only be achieved by Fossil Fuels. Without Fossil Fuels Cemetery Manufacturing is impossible. Reference Book 'How the World Really Works'.

Historically, the United States has emitted the most carbon dioxide, and today it remains the country with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions.

@@jonathannorton960 but China as a country produces the most right?

This makes no sense... The United States is accusing China of the crime of having excess capacity in green energy.

For reasons set by industries that made more money doing this.

Alternative energy sources cannot provide the amount of energy humanity uses now, there would have to be sacrifice, and few want to sacrifice. Humans are just going to keep wantonly burning the stuff until the climate is far beyond hope. We're DOOMED.

Green technology is a broad term that describes the use of science and technology to reduce human impact on the environment. It can include products, services, and processes that are more energy and resource efficient, as well as ways to reduce waste and emissions. Green technologies are based on principles like pollution reduction, energy conservation, and sustainability.
