Heat Wave Continues To Hit The Northwest
The world will cook
unfortunately you are correct. Each year will get worse. If we do nothing it will get bad really, really fast. I fear for my grandkids.
@Elmosweed even if we stopped all emmissions now, global warming , which we should control . would not slow down for quite some time . There is plenty of momentum in this . The world is racing full speed towards disaster. Overpopulation and polutuon has not even reached its zentith yet .
@p8ently obvious a lot of it is due to feedback loops, like the melting of permafrost releasing methane (a far more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2) and the Amazon now officially a carbon emitter instead of a carbon sink. In terms of climate, this year will be the best of the rest of our lives
@Olivia Lim very sad
@p8ently obvious I agree.
Republicans are the ones looking at profit over our environment.
Until the Republicans can place our planet over profits our future generations will have nothing left.
Oregon resident here. Little window unit is all that’s getting us by, didn’t have AC before this. It’s rough!
@Kym Olsen You have a great mind set. Stay optimistic 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧
@Kym Olsen I’m sending cool rainy vibes to the West. 🙏😑💧💔💧😑🙏
Stay hydrated! Be safe
@A Dash Of Entropy ❤🤗❤
@Kym Olsen I am so sorry…The future summers will not get any better unfortunately. I would save $1.00 a month and hopefully by next summer you can at least get one of those little a/c units they have started advertising that just sits on the table.
they have little ones at walmart for $33.00…
again..good luck and do not burst into flames…
Just do a search on the walmart page for : Blast Portable Air Conditioner Fan
First the rain now the heat
every time I start my Prius, take a flight, use my furnace or AC, eat some meat,order from AMAZON ETC on on on on plus the rest of the 8 billion of us, well, we make our bed and we must NOW lay in it.
I dont have a furnace, i dont fly, no a/c and ive been vegan for over 25 years. Oh and i take public transportation no car, so I have been doing my part!
Not to worry. The Republican party says climate change does not exist, no need to be concerned about fossil fuels and all the high polluting companies that fund their political campaigns. It is ok, members of congress have made millions investing in stocks tied to their legislation. Families of congress will be fine, how about your family? Go ahead, keep voting against your own self interest … will check in a decade or so and see how you and yours are doing then?
The sun simulator is hard at work, dang its to hot turn it down
😂
Trump must have turned up the thermostat before leaving office…Biden just forgot to check it. He was side track by checking all the cupboards.
Turn to Jesus. When He comes He comes with the wrath of fire. And it looks like He started with the west. Hebrews 12:28-29
No. He started with allowing this plague. Your on the right track though.
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat
@Kayla S yes the harp😂
@Kayla S likely not Jesus. Probs climate change or global warming.
There’s literally a scientific explanation as to why this is happening and you still believe it’s god 🤣💀
God bless Dr IGUDIA on YouTube who cured me from herpes with his effective herbal products. I will forever be grateful sir. You all can also contact him for help on any kind of disease on his YouTube channel
01:26 Yesterday you said you’d call Sears
Ice cubes and a fan. There ya go.
It works so good, do not know why more people don’t do it. I have one going right now (109 outside)
As a person using both right now in this 99⁰ heat…it ain’t helping 🤣
I was not made for this weather lol
Water drinking shortege possible in CA and other’s states this summer.
Not yet. Maybe 2 more years
All they need to do is stay in ac
Tell that to all the homeless living in squalor all around us, genius.
Most homes and apartments in the PNW don’t have A/C it used to not get so hot out here.
@Jlex Well that’s not my problem. The families of homeless people should help their own family member. It’s simple solution ☺️.
@Jen Ben are they in contact with their families? Do they even have any?
Kamloops B.C. Canada, we hit 110F today
😳
Jesus dude…your a trooper cause as a Washingtonian, I’ve been suffering through heat stroke for the past couple days 😭
duncan bc – officially 40C (104F), backyard shade 44C. waiting for the forest fires with trepidation.
@Tempest 89 not good… very bad in fact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGz17fLTIYQ
Should really ban hiking, camping, and any kind of burning. These people are causing wildfires.
@Tempest 89 114 in the desert parts of British Columbia, Around 100 on the coast Vancouver
@squamishfish hall Im not used to farenheit since here in South America we only use Celsius. But ill google that.
@squamishfish hall Im starting to suspect the same must be about to happen down here (next to me) in Argentina then . 🤔 Cause it would be the right southern country to measure if we “mirror” this to the global South, methinks
And?
It’s over 110 in some places.and millions are in danger if they don’t have resources to protect themselves.
And there’s the whole dryness which can start forest fires.
I honestly don’t get where the “and” is coming from.
@SirNerdly “And?” Is a way to say
“I don’t really care, do you?” for low vocabulary people 😁
Just make sure you stay there and dont take your poor voting practices elsewhere!!
Well good luck with that. Climate change is going to start pushing folks inland and eastward so that’s probably going to follow.
Though I’ve been everywhere, I currently live in Alabama, I will tell you outright that places like liberal cities in Oregon are million times better than dying towns in middle America.
Like they can actually walk around and there’s proper ma/pa shops.
Other places, you have to drive everywhere to get to Walmart or whatever other chain there is.
And they actually seem to care about each other. I’ve seen more love for folks in Portland than I ever have in my city of Gulf Shores.
LoL 😅😅
@SirNerdly Remember tho, we’re infected with a disease. It’s called Californianitis.
A spike in aircon sales over such a large area is a scary thought for the environment as well 😑 uh oh..
Check on your fat friends, we are not okay
It’s funny what you said 🙂 I am one of friends.. LOL
Don’t move around. Lay on the kitchen floor if you have to. Don’t have sugar for a couple days. Sip water all day- it cools you.
All that sweating will hopefully help ya loose a few??
🤣😂🤣😂I know it is wrong but that is the hardest I have laughed all week….thank you🤣😂🤣😂🤣
As a fat @ss, no we are NOT okay ☠️
But I’m also native and have the absolute thickest head of hair and no AC 😩
Well well well if it isn’t the consequences of our actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huX1bmfdkyA
Get a fan like this for emergencys! It’s best to be prepared a little at least. https://youtu.be/wRGzXla-nYM
This Heatwave is brutal ohmygod! I live in downtown Portland and I had to go pick up a prescription from the pharmacy about an hour ago. I was only walking maybe less than 10 minute and I thought my brain was going to scramble due to the Heat. I hung out in the store for a few minutes to soak up the AC and then walked back home in the shade. We keep our Windows dark and run our fans so we keep things cool. This heat is no joke just walking outside it smells and feels like you’re walking on top of a hot oven
Heat makes people dumb, be careful out there
I actually grew up in La Grande Oregon and so I am used to triple-digit heat and I’ve also spent quite a bit of time in New Orleans Louisiana so I am super aware of their humid wet Heat. I drank about eight quarts of water yesterday and I try to stay in the shade as much as I can if I have to go outside
@Research and Build is that why so many maga supporters follow Trump
This is nothing compared to the lake of fire. Day and night. Just Iike the outer space there’s no END to it. It goes forever…….🌌
I’m near Seattle and this was me on Monday. As soon as I stepped out of the a/c and the hot air blasted in my face, I was like OW lol. It was painful.
Yea, it’s called summer…lol
Lytton, British Columbia, Canada…tomorrow’s forecast is 116 f…feels like 124 f……..the next day 118 f…feels like 126.
Completely crazy !!!
That’s insane! I thought we were having it bad in Northeast Washington at 110+ for the next four days. Stay safe!
@Christoph Davis It’s depressing to see the forecast. Down here in southeastern WA we don’t get below 110 until Friday.
ashcroft bc is forecast to hit 50C (122F).
Wow! Eugene. Or, 111°
“Burn Baby Burn Disco Inferno”
“In the hands of death (Burn, baby, burn)”
Koch industries is going to be donating ACs nationwide, right?
Is China?
Please don’t “forget “ your kids and pets in the car
first it gets really cold in texas to where everyone buys new pipes to really hot in the northwest to where everyone buys New AC
This is funny
One of the worst ice storms in Portland in March. This is only June.
114 in British Columbia parts of
When will it get 200 degrees
Hopefully not in my life time
In 2121
@Shamik Bera I’ll be dead by then
“Extreme” weather
Global Warming
heavy rain (landslide)/ heavy snow/
heat wave/ bushfires /drought/
soil desertification
I’m in Vancouver, WA and it SUCKS… my thermometer reads 110 (in the shade) and even though I’m one of the lucky ones that has central a/c (many people here do not) it’s still struggling to keep my house under 80 degrees inside. We’re not used to this much heat here. There’s an odor in the air that this kind of heat has… I don’t like it.
unfortunately this will never get better from here…next year will be worse or very close- then the year after will shatter these records..
@Elmosweed Eh, I doubt it. The old record here was 107, set in 1981, so it took 40 years to break it.
@Elmosweed No it won’t, this is a once in a long time event. Next year we’ll probably have record rain or something
@Research and Build Every year since I have been a child the weather has changed for the worst. I know this because I have grown up in Mt living around farms. I also hunt and fish. Most of us in Mt rely on the weather to survive so we live our lives around it.
I can tell you that the weather has become hotter every summer, the forests are burning up, the rivers are either drying up or getting polluted from mine tailings. The seasons are off by about 2 months now. I have not seen snow during rifle season in 10 years now.
The weather is impacting all the animals as well as the plants that are freezing out every spring.
For the past 4 years I have worn a t-shirt outdoors at Christmas.
Not only are the people of this plant suffering but the entire planet is suffering and it is acting like a domino effect.
In Marysville the smell is so bad. It always smells like fertilizer. Summer just makes it worse
It’s going to be 111 degrees tomorrow. God save us.
It’s 112 now. It’ll be 114 tomorrow in Portland.
Its only going to be around 104° on my tribe in Washington tmw and that is already WAY too hot for me 😭
Literally praying for y’all, please stay hydrated at least!
Good luck y’all!
I always think to my self keep gard here and there I always feel like some would like to do something to as .
C L I M A T E C H A N G E
Jool’s from Australia Totally agree with you HUMAN INDUCED GLOBAL
CLIMENT CHANGE
Be progressive strong proud stay safe 👍❤️💛🖤🔥🥀🔥🥀🖤💛❤️
It’s too late. We’re finished as a species. Thank God.
The record was set in the early 1900’s . Was it climate change back then, too?
was never this hot in the northwest under Trump…… Biden is destroying Earth Trump brought are emissions down to record lows
Like being the president has anything to do with the weather.
@Justin Dunlap lmao
@hammertoe00
actually a President has the most power of any USA citizen when it comes to weather.
He has the power to slow down pollution.
He has the power to help replace the trees lost due to the fires
He has the power to make farmers grow hemp
He has the power to have specialists looking at what or if we can slow the process down.
He has the power to combine our knowledge of global warming with experts around the world.
He has the power to expand our research on renewable energy.
I can go on……
🤣😂
“US emissions have declined more slowly during Trump’s term than when Barack Obama was in the White House. Other advanced economies like the EU and Japan have reduced emissions faster.
The US remains the world’s second biggest emitter and the number one historical emitter. The average American’s carbon footprint is twice that of a Chinese or EU citizen and eight times that of an Indian.
Emissions reductions under Trump are off the pace needed to meet the US’s climate targets and for the US to play its fair share in keeping global warming to 1.5C or 2C – the temperature limits in the Paris Agreement.”

Our Marijuana plants are stressed in California
I am so sorry….could you create sun shades for them with stakes and a mesh material covering each plant. Do what every you can to save your girls…..perhaps a mister when they are sleeping to help cool them down…poor girls…makes me sad…😥😥😥🙏
Good time to use some of my snowball strain.
Cook, you commie filth
Thanks China
New Olreans 98
Hopefully the rioters will stay home!
Can confirm. I’m in Seattle and we are torched.
Renton is hotter for some reason check it on Google
Weather are gonna get worst as we thread on. Signs of the times.
Hopefully the “Peaceful protests” will be cancelled as well.
“Its a Little concerning” **uncomfortable awkward chuckle**
Yeah bro.
This is just the top of a melting iceberg ….
what is newsworthy information?, 44 active large wildfires out west with the extreme heat and the lack of water to do any good but maybe have a sip for your thirst. not on my tv, a few earthquakes, or volcanos or hurricanes coming in who knows.
Climate changes/global warmings, water shortages, resource scarcities, droughts, racisms, terrorisms, wars, famines and diseases will self-cure as the human population triples. So that’s super-duper good.
Climate change needs to be addressed.
Climate change is REAL and will only get worse.
so it begins
Must be global warming its hot outside.
Eugene Oregon was 111° today and will not be normal temperature range for 10 days at least although it will be @ 90° they say (on the weather report)
All we need now is a 40 mile asteroid to check off on our dooms day list.
Na that subduction zone going off will do just fine.
The heat wave includes British Columbia parts of hit 114 F,, like Seattle residents most in Victoria and Vancouver do not have Air cons and fans , they have sold out in the box stores
Climate change I wonder.
Human species is doomed.
Ikr
Scientists shouldn’t say how we’re running out of time. They should say it’s too late and that human extinction will occur within decades.
1936 heat wave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP4Iu9F3Bic
It is only going to get worse every year until extinction.
i live in sicily here ita always hot in summer but not like this 46c!
Watch the 70’s scifi classic Soilent Green.. it’s coming true.
Geesh! I’ll bet you guys are a lot of fun at parties. 🙄
It’s called summer people. Its not climate change. Its just irregular weather.
I wonder what anti environmentalists think about this.
Cheer up! Summer has just begun with all the summer activities like barbecue and boating!
I love how no one mentiones that this is due to climate change.
What are they thinking? Gods revenge? Coincidence?
It’s Trumps fault for this heatwave
No such thing as climate change
@Porsha Allyse yeah. Scientists in 194 countries think otherwise.
So it’s about time to start blaming republicans for killing all of us through negligence… again.
Boomers could have turned this around it was the last chance, now I can’t responsibly have children.
That’s probably good thing that you don’t just keep raising your wife’s boyfriend’s son and keep drinking that soy latte.
@Red Dawn Wolverines what a convoluted and pitiful attempt at humor.
1:24 at first I thought that was a drop in the ocean depth.
Every think the planet just has TOO many people?
Oh no!! How will they survive?!?!?
Just kidding I’m from Texas. Have fun losers. Maybe y’all should fire your governor for not being prepared for the people!
Climate change is here now and we will need to switch fast to wind and solar energy sources!
Geo engineering look up. Wake up
coronavirus is a scam
I worry about the Animals who are not used to these temperatures and who should be taken care of by good humans. Please, help them
This world be so much better if there were more people like you!
They are calling it a “heat dome”… Guess what, ionosphere heaters like #HAARP cause “high pressure heat domes”.
They are calling it a “heat dome”.. Guess what, ionosphere heaters like #HAARP cause “high pressure heat domes”!
It’s all their “green plan” to control, oppress and charge us peasants for their deepstate satanic globalists cult agenda.
Living in the Southern Hemosphere rn. Few’s luxuries hahaha
My GOD
Paris Climate agreement
On December 2015
Signed on April 22 2016
In 1898 record high temperature in Oregon was 119F due to global warming from CO2 emissions from future man made global warming.
Global warming is finally starting to show its fangs more then ever it would seem and it’s only going to get worse every year until the planets most likely a forsaken desert planet or a second Mars hope there’s still time to save the planet before it gets to bad
This is unfortunately irreversible at this point
It’s time to start looking into the possibility of geoengineering weather, weather manipulation by enemies of humanity, the billionaires who control us. Not conspiracy, just looking at all angles. Don’t be a sheep.
This is normal temperature in tropics.a little heat exposure is Good for bones and skeleton. As more vitamin D gets synthesis in body.also body posture remains in excellent condition. One must not feel uncomfortable .One also saves money to cut winter trips to goa ,maurtius ,saves money and sun creams.
We drove through Washington and Oregon and it said the temperature was 112 Degrees. We have no A/C in our house down in Salem and we can barley survive the heat. Fans and Portable A/C Isn’t helping much
SUFFER…..their president trashy trump TOLD them that global warming is fake news. AS YOUR ELDERLY AND OTHERS die….remember who u follow and vote for! 🤡
its 105 degrees at my house and i don’t have air conditioning. Im melting
Thanks for the heat wave, Republicans! This crisis wouldn’t have been possible without your continuous need to pollute, overpopulate, and deny the existence of climate change just because you’re too braindead to understand the science!
enjoy your coldest summer
Enjoy its summer 😀
No wonder the super rich want to leave the planet.
ow… just wow… propagandizing Summer, omg. It’s summer. It’s hot. Period. Summer is not a sign of global warming. And since my summers haven’t gotten hotter in the 50 years I’ve been alive, I guarantee you global warming is a political agenda to tax Americans out of more money. Plain and simple.
It is a compensation for frosty winter in Texas this year.
