I MEAN WHY WOULD U GO TO DEATH VALLEY IN 120 DEGREE WEATHER???? FOLKS USE COMMEN SENSE PLEASE 🙏 R.I.P……
If a hurricanes hits Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and South Carolina all in the same year, like this year, I say we don’t send federal dollars from blue states to help them. After all, they supported human caused global warming. They deserve what’s eventually coming.
Rollin coal.
You people are nuts
Anthropogenic warming is a scam you fell for which allows your hate and evil black heart to be exposed for all the world to see. Sea level rise has remained constant. Global temperature fluctuation is completely normal. We are on the low end of global history concerning CO2 concentration and overall temperature. It was 4 degrees warmer 2000 years ago. Research is free. So is love.
Please don’t act like Trump and his cult. Many tens of thousands of us are stuck where we are (in “red” states) but we are ALL Americans. That’s what the GOP of today just cannot grasp. Stop the division: we are Americans!
No humans using fossil fuels in blue states?
The results of a diminishing molecular atmosphere…
👹: keep it up gop!
Oil barrons approve gop handling of this! 👍
@Bagrilla Jenkins yet there is a whole upward trend in global summer and annual temperatures that’s unprecedented in geologic terms. No way can that be “natural fluctuations”. So explain to me why Earth is getting warmer
@SuperThunderGoodGuy 🏳️🌈 there is absolutely nothing unprecedented here. We were 4 degrees warmer 2000 years ago. 5 degrees warmer 6000 years ago. Milankovitch cycles, solar cycles, cosmic radiation, volcanoes, meteors, ice ages, etc have a rubber band effect on temperature and gases. The medieval period was warmer and CO2 lags behind temperature by 500-1500 years. These are just a few examples of fluctuation. Temperatures have bounced to and fro some 10 degrees 8 times in the last 100k years.
@SuperThunderGoodGuy 🏳️🌈 correction, the swing averages about 8 degrees (4 up and 4 down) more or less. It’s happened about 13 times in the last million years. We have been coming out of an ice age for some 100k years, warming obviously. Media isn’t going to talk about global history. Nor are they going to talk about how the Smith Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, tucked in the National Defense Authorization Act, gave media the permission to propagandize citizenry, much the same as the Smith Mundt Act of 1948 gave our government the right to propagandize other governments.
@Bagrilla Jenkins
What is your source for this? The Hockey Stick has been confirmed in countless studies.
“Globally resolved surface temperatures since the Last Glacial Maximum” ~Osman et al. 2021
“Holocene global mean surface temperature, a multi-method reconstruction approach” ~Kaufman et al. 2020
“No evidence for globally coherent warm and cold periods over the preindustrial Common Era” ~Neukom et al. 2019
Stop comparing (GISP2 drilling cite) Greenland temperatures that go up until 1855 and not global temperatures that go up until the 21st century.
Milankovitch cycles operate on time scales too long to have any meaningful impact on global temperatures the past 150 years. The last glacial cycle ended 10000 years ago and we have another 50,000 years of interglacial before we enter the next glacial cycle (and that doesn’t include human caused global warming). So no.
The Sun can’t be causing global warming because for two reasons: if the Sun were causing global warming all layers of the atmosphere would be warming. Instead only our layer of the atmosphere (troposphere) is warming. The stratosphere is actually cooling. That indicates the troposphere is getting better at trapping infrared radiation. Which means it’s co2 and other GHGs causing global warming. Also secondly, the sun has been dimming the past 35 years and getting more dim with every solar cycle. That should have caused global cooling. But instead we see global warming. Didn’t climate “skeptics” warn of an ice age from a grand solar minimum? What happened. The past 9 years were the 9 hottest on record.
It can’t be volcanoes. The carbon they produce is a heavier isotope of carbon (C-13) than fossil fuel carbon (C-12). The amount of C-13 in the atmosphere hasn’t changed much in the past 150 years yet the amount of c-12 has skyrocketed causing a massive drop in the ratio of c-13 compared with c-12. So it wasn’t volcanoes. Another reason it can’t be volcanoes, volcanoes the past few decades have only produced less than 2% of the 40 billion tons of co2 we are adding into the atmosphere annually. Lastly the amount of co2 in the atmosphere has been steady for the past 10000 years. Yet they have increased by 40%+ in the past 150 years. Did volcanoes suddenly decide to increase when we started to industrialize as a civilization? I don’t think so. Not to mention the amount of co2 accumulated in our atmosphere tallies with the known amount we have added into it.
It’s not cosmic rays, the amount of cosmic rays has increased overall which seeds clouds and causes it to reflect which should cause a cooling. Yet Earth is warming.
Why does co2 lag global temperatures by 800 years during glacial-interglacial cycle transitions? Because the co2 doesn’t cause the warming initially. It’s caused by a change in the Milankovitch cycles, this warms the planet which degasses co2 from the oceans and because co2 is less soluble in warmer water, it increases causing a second more significant global warming. This caused a feedback loop until we reach stable equilibrium and we reach an interglacial period.
Also, it took 5,000 years, roughly, for global temperatures to warm 8°C coming out of our last glacial cycle. Yet global temperatures have warmed 1°C in the past 50 years. That is far faster.
@Bagrilla Jenkins
Here is a good source I recommend:
“Contemporary Global Warming placed in geological context”
We need scientific literacy and no more misinformation. And YouTube has to stop deleting comments that are fighting back against misinformation about climate change and COVID-19. They claim they don’t want misinformation yet are actually suppressing those who are trying to fight back against it.
Meh. Climate change is a crock 😞
Oh, no it’s really not a crock. What is a crock is our science denying republican congress.
what happon
I live in AZ but where the weather is fine!
Is it time to stand up and speak out against the climate crisis
@P yup 👍
Climate change a hoax. Its manipulated weather and the artificial sun. Please wet the dirt well for cats to lay in at night to cool off
Sure, do you need a doctor appointment, I know a good shrink. He even prescribes good meds. LOL 😂
100 Ogden utah july 22 2023
And these conservative clowns still don’t believe in ….CLIMATE CHANGE! How stupid are the citizens of this country to keep re-electing those same useless idiots to serve in congress!
Wow
California has the best weather
And Texas Gov. Greg “I sued a tree and won” Abbott won’t let outdoor workers have water breaks and signed that into law.
Texan’s should start calling him Massa Abbott.
Texas Greg, always a man of the people. Someone should lock him in his car on one of these 100 degree days. Park him at the Walmart with the windows rolled up.
I’d like to see him work just one week doing migrants jobs.
He wouldn’t make it one day.
What a guy.
87 were I leave
If you’re too stupid too ignorant too dumb to go hiking in the desert on a hot day then people deserve what they get for being stupid it’s very simple it’s not being mean it’s not being a heartless is just having common sense but they’re too stupid to go hiking on a hot day they deserve what they get very simple.
The ignorance stupid white man that went and died in the desert because he wanted to go hiking on one of the hottest days it’s like having a stupid man who doesn’t know how to swim and going to the ocean and dying and then you blame the ocean or you blame on the weather it was the stupidity of that person for doing something that he wasn’t prepared to do😅😅😅😅😅
This male white privilege Karen thought that he was invincible so he decided to go hiking on one of the hottest days and then he dies and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him how stupid is a person to go hiking on a hot burning day🤔🙄😕
ZERO sympathies for the guy who trekked a 121f heat in death valley.
No climate change the carbon is 0.04 the earth cools itself don’t fall for their bull crap again psychopaths
Sure, keep telling yourself that. Why do you deny science??
But climate change isn’t real according to GOP
Of course not, it doesn’t fit their agenda.
Not one mention of abrupt climate change and mass extinction Just business as usual.
Shocked!?!
Really lol nah he should of never gone.
I’ve lost 3 very old pets to this heat wave. Keep cool everyone 😢❤
It’s strange because in Las Vegas we have had outside dogs and it’s always been hot here. They were never allowed inside and they never died
If your pet dies in the heat that is your fault for neglecting them
@KUJUnation I have had pets my entire life and they were all outside animals.. never once did one die being outside.
Dip them in water every few hours. Buy ac units
@KUJUnation they weren’t neglected they were very very old. I even installed misters in the yard. I was only warning others.
Anthropogenic Global Warming.
It’s not as if we weren’t expecting this to happen. I’ve been saying it on YouTube for several years myself.
Finally thankful the Republicans heartlessly never gave into free health care, as my health is getting worse, and the weather beats on me. Goodness sake it won’t last much longer. I will be away from this gun loving violent country America has become… and I’m 57
Global warming which the Republicans don’t believe in
Very sad indeed. Condolences to all who lost loved ones. RIP
Evangelist Roger Mansour
Minneapolis, below -9° in the winter 99 in the summer
The important thing is the overall average temperature. Annual temperatures have warmed 3.1°F since 1970 in Minneapolis.
Ha ha! Not affecting my state. Loooosers 😎👍
The hottest temperature ever recorded in Minneapolis, MN was 108°F (42.2°C). This temperature was recorded on July 14, 1936. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Dallas, Texas, was 113°F (45°C). This temperature was recorded on multiple occasions in different years, including: June 27, 1980 July 26, 1980
June 26, 1988 August 2, 2011. This climate change theory is a crap shoot, right..?
@Jerry Yeah, well the Dallas temps listed above are for days on end but since when do we maintain the same exact temperature for days on end– is that climate or weather? And where do you think they’re going with the “record heat” claims, Kevin?? 3 replies, dude???
@Jerry Yes, their “science” is definitely a crap shoot. On this last night’s climate change documentary, they said the Rio Grand river has dried up cause of blah blah and guess what: it has dried up several times throughout history due to many non-related factors. & these crazy friggin’ people were wanting to lawsuit the state of Texas for the river cause we produce energy…like Texas is the only energy producing state in the only energy producing nation on earth and we’ve got the only hot weather that exists since the beginning of existence and all this completely INSANE STUPIDITY!!! You flat earthers really crack me up!
What are the average daily temperatures for the past 80 yrs? For accuracy that’s what you should be looking at.
@Suburbanstead Solutions you just confusing weather and climate. Try taking average monthly mean or annual mean temperatures and not cherry pick a particularly hot day.
Looking overall mean annual temperatures, Dallas has warmed 2.1°F since 1970 meanwhile summer mean temperatures (Jun-Aug) have warmed 2.6°F since 1970.
Sure 1936 was a hot summer for America, but that was one summer, why not take a moving average of monthly mean temperatures? Because it would destroy your argument.
@TruthForJustice That’s right, bring in the top brass! Maybe it’s China with their fake sun and remote controlled weather balloons? Send a message back to their satellites & tell them I said to.shut ALL their microwave factories down before they unleash the next endemic!
Welcome to global warming people. It’s not fake, science has been telling us for years.
2023: Crazy weather.
2024: Hold my Beer.
It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Weather history, shows earth has a pattern for last 150 years nearly same. The climate hoax, is just that.
Keep telling yourself that when there’s no food
Welcome to Florida everyone.
We are doomed
Weather here in Seal Beach California couldn’t be more beautiful 73 degrees today with Seabreeze coming through my windows 😅
That’s just the thin strip of coasts where you’re lucky with that. Two cities over in Santa Ana 10mi away peaked at 84°F. Another 150mi east was 109°F in Palm Springs. Most of California was in the deep reds in the temperature map today at over 100°F.
105 in Palm Springs is pretty normal for the summer dude…
If Bill Gates and China and the likes would quit playing with the weather, trying to control it, maybe we wouldn’t have such hot summers
Florida here yes sir hot & humid pets & elderly should have plenty of water & ac umbrellas ,
I ain’t no expert! But I don’t think you would want to go to an area called Death Valley in triple digits weather.
Nice try sure it’s hot but it’s normal some years especially when solar is maximum look it up. Temp have been recorded from soil like blacktop not air like it should be shown.
😂
Oh no, average summer weather is here.
Pay what you owe.
Ummmm…… Its normally hot in these areas… Its called Death Valley for a reason………..
0:13 Death Valley
I always hated the summer
I used to look forward to summers until I moved to Texas three years ago.
Now I dread summers…in Texas, to me it’s summer 11 months out of the year.
May Allah protect us from heat wave and give us pleasant environment.
Ecology needs to be a class in school like math and spelling,
Studies could begin with the climate change that warmed the earth and melted the ice caps and glaciers and caused the sea level to rise more than 425 feet so far.
@Frank Martin thanks to changes in carbon dioxide levels
Idnt that why its called death valley? 86 in NC. Whatever shall we do?
OMG
Still no mention of climate change, you will not escape
What’s with the lies about the weather? Anyone old enough knows these temps are not out of the norm. 😂 repeat a lie over and over again and people believe it. Meanwhile less people die from heat related deaths today than 80 years ago.
Climate change is real MAGA REPUBLICANS 😡🤬
It’s summer and those temperatures aren’t records. I’m from socal. This is normal. I’ve been to Texas hundreds of times. It’s normal weather. Same with Arizona and the same for Minnesota. This isn’t different than any other year. In fact, cooler temperatures this time of year would be abnormal.
Good thing you countered those numbers with personal opinions. Otherwise facts will win out!
Thank god someone with common sense. It was way hotter in 2020
Maine has been scorching also, 75-80 all summer. Good luck everyone.
Thank you for this update and special research and make repote . Be safe healty and cool
Smh, here I am deployed in jordan
Texans with their heat who care bunch of Trump and Abbot butt kissers
why would you go to death valley at this time? did he not see the forecast?
🥳
Idk why people say we are having a heat wave in las Vegas. We have had 133 degree weather many times and this summer is mild.
enjoy, you don’t need sun lotion
@12Nordsee sun lotion? I don’t go in the sun. I hate tans and pools that other people go in. Why would I worry about sun lotion 🤣
@Alice in Chains lol, fair enough.
133 is crazy id only be outside at night lol
@Mister Banshee honestly it is blistering hot here when it’s 100. Gotta love walking outside and feeling like you are in a 500 degree oven. I hate all the heat no matter what.
Keep letting the military and companies get away with polluting
Its 118° here in Arizona 🥵 wayyyy too hot!! how do you think?? it really dangerous
Weather maps are among the most blatant forms of fearmongering deployed so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvvBp25eh0U
In 2050 though, the ozone hole will be fully healed, or mostly. 🙂
Disrespect Mother Nature and you will suffer 😭
Wow. It’s NEVER been that hot here in US before.
You’re kidding right?
No it hasn’t. Its more about the duration of the heatwave and the artificial sun which is 5 times hotter than our natural sun
🤣🤣🤣🤣Okay KAREN
Is that ground temperature or air temperature. Yes it does matter
Its summer. It gets hot in the summer. This has happened eveey summer since time began. This is not big news, this is just another hot summer. Good grief.
It’s called summer
Another BS REPORT BY NBC TO PUSH THE CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA. IT’S JUST SUMMER IN THE DESERT AREAS . PATHETIC AND DISCUSTING REPORT.
Bro it’s becoming so hot Humans can no longer survive outdoors. What else do you possible need, I can bring up Ocean ph level for the past 300 years. How many people need to die for you to finally believe? I just want a numebr
@BaconDragon-yr5vf hasn’t ended you yet bacon boy. You can’t fix stupid.
If it’s too hot for you to be outside, it’s too hot for your pets!
Or possibly since all the chem trails have slowed way way down to almost none, just maybe this heat wave has been here for a long time but do to all the fly overs, chemicals released and a foggish glare to block the 🌞; haven’t you noticed how close to the ground the new cloud patterns are and warfare storm’s right on top of us (normal cloud base is much higher and the 2nd row of cloud’s ⛅️ 🌧 🌪 have you noticed the bird’s don’t fly 🦅as high as they use to as was the clouds ☁️ higher)… when I was a kid .
Just a few year’s ago 12 brand new cloud patterns were discovered, we know that contained the chem trail grid patterns…
What’s up with that Thing, ya know that thing, what’s it called: FIRMAMENT? That separates the water from above from the water’s below the “Dry Land” called earth, declared a rotating sphere?
Parts of the Southwest will likely have their hottest Julys since records began in the late 19th century.
ManBearPig
The guy who died hiking in DV at 121F got what he was asking for.
0:11 why would you hike in Death Valley in 120 degree weather? The name should have been a “dead” give away. I feel sorry for his family
This has been our coldest July EVER. We had lows in the 50s and 60s, and I’ve NEVER seen that. This heatwave is supposed to push the temperatures up to normal — finally, just as July is about to end. I don’t like it when it gets this hot, but this is normal (finally). The trouble is that people might get heat-stroke because they just aren’t prepared for it.
I suppose there are still people out there who deny global warming…
Good God, the inflammatory, fear inducing language in this bs piece. It’s summer, people. And the man who died in Death Valley, well, it’s called “Death Valley” for a reason.
Oh my, its SUMMER TIME and its hot, oh my
just wait 20 years
It’s extremely dumb to trek through Death Valley when it’s 120 degrees.
Hey by my my 7 78 poop poop
The sky is falling!!! The sky is falling!!!😂
Regrettably, people don’t have sense enough to stay out of the heat. Some have died because they thought it was a good idea to go on a hike! Unbelievably daft. Those without a/c can wrap themselves in wet sheets and sit in front of a fan to keep comfortable. Pets can be hosed down and kept wet. Common sense seems to have suffered more losses in the heat. I feel bad for those who suffer in the heat while on the job. They can keep their heads and clothing wet to help stay safe. Drinking water or Gatorade isn’t enough to prevent heat exhaustion.
The Hunga eruption last January injected trillions of tons of water vapor into the stratosphere, which causes a warming effect that will last a considerable amount of time. The weather is responding normally.
GOD is angry !!
This isnt normal. This heat came way too soon. Random storms and trees down across the Missouri/Kansas border. It’s 10:22pm and it’s currently 96 degrees in Kansas City. Not normal.
Man travels through desert in 120 degree heat, dies and wife is shocked?
OMG..NHS. .AFTER EVERY STORM COMES A RAINBOW 🌈 🌎🗽
