Is Europe's record heatwave a sign of its future climate? | Global News Podcast
Video Overview & Insights
Tens of millions of people across western Europe are sweltering under unusually high temperatures.
Oh..45 degrees. Dont threaten me with good times. Promises. Gonna buy 2 extra AC's to make it happen. I'll do my part. And some guzzling gas car.
Lets make it happen guys. Lets get those hot warm summers!
A maximum red heatwave alert covers more than half of France, where temperatures have broken the average record for June. The heat is also touching 40 Celsius in Spain and Portugal.
The BBC's climate editor Justin Rowlatt tells us how European governments are attempting to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, both now and long into the future.
Global warming 😂😂😂 if it wasn't for global warming there would still be an ice age .

FLASHBACK: Fact-Checkers Furiously Spun Greta Thunberg’s 2018 Eco-Apocalypse Tweet
By Joseph Vazquez
The elitist media always presume that everyone pushing climate doom represents Science, and when their extremely gloomy predictions don’t pan out, no one has any desire to revisit those claims.
When Time anointed then 16-year-old Greta Thunberg as “Person of the Year” in 2019, she was treated like an expert, when she absolutely wasn’t one: “Where others speak the language of hope, Thunberg repeats the unassailable science: Oceans will rise. Cities will flood. Millions of people will suffer….”
That was odd. Thunberg tweeted out climate scare porn June 21, 2018, quoting the ramblings of now-defunct leftist website Gritpost, which railed, “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”
When a number of critics circled back to ratio the since-deleted tweet five years later in 2023, a number of fact-checkers like FactCheck.org, Snopes and others twisted themselves into crazy-shaped pretzels to shield Thunberg from public humiliation. It’s now been just over 8 years since that tweet was posted, and the media gaslighting reads just as stupid today as it did then.

00:00 Introduction
Most of you do not have a clue. Romans grew citrus as far north as Hadrians wall
Co2 levels are 350-400 ppm. Ill effects for humans start at 8 to 10000 ppm. Plants will not grow at less than 150 ppm. The earth is warmer than it has been in the last 150 years but not even close to the high temps of the last 100 million. Trough human history we have prospered during warmer periods and cooler times are known as “dark ages”. Coal mining is very clean compared to your “green” lithium. You are being used.

We all already know that you could just like you just did put your fingers in my head when you're in the newsroom in London and they can do the same on the other side of the planet
@Davib-j6t9mIn the Southern US, getting through Summer without AC is impossible. The heat and humidity are too unbearable. I genuinely don't know how people managed here before the invention of AC.
@CyborgZetaAll that free heat, all that free sunlight and we have not worked out a way to efficiently store all that energy to use in the winter. Instead greed numbs the brains of the fossil-fuel men and they go on contributing towards the destruction of mother earth.
@rowellwilkinsonwilkinson5235People still deny global warming😩
@SnowBlitzoIt's summer. Enjoy it. Next year might be a very different world - so don't let hyperbolic weather news ruin this.
@iseeulyssesIt's literally 40C for most of the year here and nobody gives a flying duck. Europe gets above 30C and it's a tragedy.
@louis9116No. 1976 was just as hot.
@PoTat-xp4cbClose the school. Teachers can't cope with it 😢 all school should have Air conditiner . And water pond till secondary.
Get air conditioner in all the bus some drivers don't put it and they drive crazy fast .
Close the school early and let's the summer term start .All housings shoul be have A.C.
1976 was bad .
Don’t worry. Trump doesn’t believe in climate change so we’ll all be fine.
@user-zq4ru3to6vI hope so as your caterwauling is priceless comedy.
@rogerbrownreacts8528It is a clear sign of future ideological attitudes.
@HowardNorris-gh1jwthat liar has just lied again , stating 1 in 4 cars in the UK are electric ,,,, it’s actually 1 in 17 !!!!! BBC fear mongering liars !!!!
@kenpole639This was predicted 30 years ago by scientists … why the surprise?
@MorpheusarrowMore BBC climate grifting ..... more climate BS ..... increasing our population via Mass immigration does not help the heat or the environment .... let start with something we CAN control .....
@ossianx8752The funny thing is, everyone in Europe stops talking about climate change as soon as leaves turn yellow in a month. You all seem worried only when it gets warm in summer.
@genauso_ravi▶️▶️▶️
@official_ashhhbbc selling air conditioners
@auro1986We've been talking about this for 50+ years... Are we prepared? Will we have water? Or will mother nature get to manage population and kill off what is damaging it? That's the spiraling my brain is embarking on.
@LoudLin86People CAN NOT STOP NATURAL GLOBAL CLIMATE CHAMGE, its natural change, cannot be stopped. The world needs to adapt!
@HarryGedleyPLANT MORE VEGETATION!!! MORE TREE LINES IN FRANCE!!!
@aubreyharper4829And we still want a warmer higher EPC rating for houses ? 😂😂😂 UK government is crazy. 😂😂
@uklife1628Why don't you consider publishing Humidex chart, people would understand the issue more easilly.
@peterford5672Plenty more of the Beebs' hot air, as usual. We are all doomed!
@mal7244Bullshit
@Steve-h9e5sSome people:
"This is nothing. When I was a kid in 1976 the summer felt endless".
Popular science:
'Childhood summers felt endless because your younger brain processed and stored a much higher volume of novel experiences'
Expect the worst.
@deusdatU mean normal weather we had back in the 90s ?
@RichMantaray250,000 girls. 0 coverage
@danielharrison9237My hair is like Macy Greys today 😮
@cubed123Just install AC. The human best invention 😅
@tuapuikiaIf we pay more taxes, the climate will get better... Right?
@TUCK3R420Its an El Nino year, its to be expected,
@vivienneman358The BBC should have to show its sources of information and any opposing opinions before posting its propaganda. Strange they never do that.
@covingtonrace1It will end on Thursday.
@savvadance7006The BBC is a disgusting climate propaganda channel. A few days of heat and its gone again.
@covingtonrace1I know one thing that its going to be a heatwave that finishes me off in 20 years time.
@richardcook3310I am frying on my sofa😅..
@yvettekinchking8838It is FRIGHTENING. It has got so much warmer over the last couple of months because of climate change. HOW can the far right nut jobs say this is not climte change??? If this carries on in six months time it will have got so hot we will all be gone. We need to TAX MORE NOW to solve climate change
@TomTom-h8dSomeone should've warned us about climate change.
@rui569God bless 🤍🙏🏻
Pray for rain
My uncle died in 2011 from a heatwave in Europe , cat died in 2022 from heat stress from kidney failure , people wanted endless consumerism and indulge themselves as if the future would never chastise them , now they can watch their children mutate as heat is the the most potent carcinogen from my old text books of toxicology .
