Iraq's extreme heat and water shortages - BBC News 

I really want to immigrate to Canada and farm. With climate change I believe Canada and Russia is the best countries to go to.

No one denies climate change. It’s happened ever since the planet was formed. God folk are thick. Doesn’t prove it’s man made. One or two years of weather is not necessarily a trend.

I found it amusing when he talks about breathing in the land and then takes a drag of a cigarette.

Embellished to say the least. Embellished to push the climate change agenda. Highest ever recorded temperature in bassra is 53.8, less in Baghdad where the police officer claims it was 60 degrees. The planet has got hotter and cooled down for hundreds of thousands of years and when you look at history in 500 year sections it’s quite normal. The water level used to raise up to the banks, shows a banking at one side of the river, then pans to the other where it clearly was never possible to be so high. I’m off back to pornhub, enough bs for today

too political.. they won't touch stuff like this with a barge pole.. the real issues are never discussed

Along with syria and iran...tigris have many tibutries..

@Rock John Only a wicked jokesbon farmer's suffering

CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th part of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"C of heat energy. That is impossible. It also breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible. However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, in clear skies producing an unnaturally bright sun. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations). Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum. 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists. The CO2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few. Welcome to the future! _________ I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet. Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is. When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case. NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools. (NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology. Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.' This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).

@@doobidoo095 wow. im speechless. also notice how Biblical prophetic events of end tjmes are coming into play

@Emmanuel Macron do you mean the humanity of the Jewish people that many prominent Iraqis deny & that’s so prevalent in the Muslim world? Take responsibility!

Not really. They don't say the most important thing: NO TREES >>> NO RAIN

the video content is good but the animation and editing is awful, the animation honestly is like some kind of joke as if a student is practicing, I don't understand it, it's so easy to do better and they can send a crew to Iraq but not pay an intern to make better maps?

Whataboutism will not solve many problems. Sure, that is also a problem, but it should not diminish what is presented in this video. Climate change hits hard for many.

It is a well established fact that the chain of events from most of Syrias farmlands and cattle being destroyed, to the cities becoming overpopulated with poor farmers, to ISIS finding a good foothold, is a reason for the Kalifate being created, with numerous fatalities resulting from the fighting that ensued. Climate change is causing real, day to day trouble for a lot of people. It should be taken seriously, and not pushed over to some alternate path that tries to indicate that he problem is elsewhere at every turn. That rain is not falling is a real issue for the millions that depend on it.

@@kodez79 i do not deny the effects of climate change but damming people from there only water source surely won't help them survive from it.

@@falkerwyscray9067 I went to Iraq and I believe that Scray was preaching the truth, with water becoming scarce because of Damming, obviously temperatures won't cool without water. Temperatures will continue to climb till the dams are removed.

I just came to the comments to type the exact same comment

Part of syria uprising was for this very reason: long droughts. Iam telling you in our lifetime the ME won't be habitable and would need to prepare for this crisis.

Yeah I saw vids of cars melting

How long

Yeah its funny right it's almost like they live in a desert country in the Middle East.

Celsius, not degrees

33 degrees and i feel like im gonna melt i cant even imagine 60.

They don’t have water. That’s not anyones fault, that’s what happens _IN A DESERT_

@@MyHandelsMessiah Iraq was considered as one of the most rich countries of water 😂 Iraq has tens of rivers! Iraq is famous with his big rivers, the problem now is that Turkey and Iran are cutting off the water of rivers from Iraq such as the Tigris River, Euphrates, Upper Zab, Lower Zab, Diyala, Sirwan, Ab Sirwan, Tanjru, Al-Azim, Al-Karon and other rivers. Iraq contains a vast desert, but not all of its territory is desert, even the Greeks and Arabs today call Iraq Mesopotamia, it means the land between rivers! Read a little before you put forward your incorrect opinions Iraq contains the largest Marshes and freshwater swamps in the Middle East in the south and is one of the largest in the world and contains many giant freshwater lakes such as Lake Al-Tharthar, Habbaniyah, Razza, Sawa, Dokan, Darbandkhan and other very large freshwater lakes!

climate chnage is a human made problem, they literally addressed it. the BBC wont politisise your opinions howveverbecause that isnt news

NO TREES >>> NO RAIN. The BBC keeps quiet about this. This is pretty basic

@@dochedgehog No, its not a political agenda. Climate change has an obvious role in this, the weather is hotter, but the water shortage is caused PRIMARILY by Turkey and Iran, Turkey daming the hell out of those rivers for their own benifit and strangling iraq, causing resource issues but also hygene issues. It's abhorrent. Long Live Iraq and Kurdistan and Turkey is the biggest joke in NATO.

I think you forget that Iraq is a land with less trees..and not lot of rain and they farmed the land anyway

@@crazycutz8072 that is why climate change affects iraq first, because it is a delicate ecosystem which can be affected the growing of crops by only a small change in temperature, where as countries like Russia actually have something to gain from climate change as more land will become arable.. it’s not rocket science

The solution IS ! NO MORE BABIES.

I was caught by the irony of him talking about 'breathing in the land' when so much of it was turning to dust.

I see everything in Iraq the same my country, but their business is better than my country. We wish all countries around the world have happiness and peace.

Don’t live in a desert 🤷🏽‍♂️

@glyn hodges haha we never got this temperature before believe me

NO TREES >>> NO RAIN. So get used to it. Soon 70 - 80 C and rising

It totally is , i don't even know how our country still functions with 26 days worth of temps over 50c , if it wasn't for air conditioning nobody would bare to live here anymore .

@@awsomemodels Basking in the Sun with no rain at all. Enjoy your 'treeless' country. It will only get worse. People will have to migrate or die. Desert culture. WoW

And climate change.

And the western invasion.

@@katiedid1851 climate change is largely an excuse being used - it will become more serious in the future.... but then think.. Iraq's power generation comes from oil and gas and has quadrupled since 1980.. so they bring all this on themselves.. no sympathy for the stupid

@Elma Wilson you are correct about your observations about governments... but the problem is too many people believe what politicians say to get elected and in many countries, you have religion mixed with the government - and that is the most toxic of all...

@@bloodfiredrake7259 Think it was a reason for it though. I dont think nukes was the reason (But certain the excuse to invade). But basically USA was allied with Iraq during 1980s, because of fear of revolution in same way Iran had in 1979, so they aided Saddam Hussein with weapons.... well until he invaded Kuwait "Some argue it was to remove debts from war with Iran". But basically this is when USA and Iraq didnt see eye to eye anymore. I honestly think they simply went to war because of that threat probably. Afghanistan was another issue due to training jihadists (which ironically was a culture that USA created to fight communists) interms of political jihad. This is not to say Islamism hasnt existed before that. But it overall would bite them in the ass is all. But chaos of war of ideas is a interesting thing

@Emmanuel Macron wait what? Iraq’s drying up because of America? You know scapegoating the litany of Middle East problems as America is just so lazy & lacks nuance. There clearly is a multi factor reasoning behind it but to weaponise it and target America’s most persecuted minority the Jewish people is just irrational. It’s not only irrational, it’s hateful…

@700 K Desert culture. Got used to free rainfall down the rivers from other countries with forest areas. Now the dams came up. 70 - 80 C soon. Ooops

a super man

Countries damming rivers that other countries depend on are the worst things of humankind.

lies, the documetary already pointed this out. temperatures are rising because iraq is destorying its greenlands in favour of housing, cheap shoddy housing

@@nikobellic570 also what a load of shite. this is happening world wide. the rest of us are trying to fix our own issues

@@dochedgehog your ignorance doesn't make it a lie. It makes you uneducated. Theres loads of documentaries about turkey and Syria building dams and stopping water flow to Iraq. This is why iraqs marshlands and deltas have dried up. All the information about it is on the Internet for you to view for yourself

@@dochedgehog Ethiopia is building a dam upstream on the nile which will affect Egypt. China have dammed the mekong River which goes through 5 countries Vietnam Laos Cambodia and Thailand have been affected by this.

People get hooked because nicotine is addictive. Our governments allow it to be sold, knowing it harms us. A sane species would not allow it's sale. If individuals planted tobacco for their own consumption, on their property, okay, but we must stop the sale of it. It is responsible for an unknown number of deaths annually. It calms people while killing them, making them pay for their own death. Ugh.

@anonymous one Combined effect of No Trees & Climate Change

@anonymous one yes i agree forgot to mention that . It's purely because of the construction of thousands of dam uphill and ongoing construction of Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam + the war torn state of the country

Right. The +60 reading was of surface temperature.

Last July It reached 75 degrees Celsius under direct sunlight in southern Iraq Basra city

@@dochedgehog I don't really care how you officially measure the heat however I was very specific and clarified it was under direct sunlight and the reason why I take this type of measurement because alot of people in iraq they actually work under direct sun lights and when I see the temperature are reaching that much it scares me. hope you understand my point now : )

And that Iraq's water infrastructure was obliterated by the west.

Special kind of stupid right here

Bravo! You spoke the truth. But, people doesn't want to accept the truth.
