Asia's Hottest Summer In 174 Years Of Records: Are We Prepared For More Heatwaves? | Insight

Philippines averages around 40 already...and we get bombarded with not just typhoons but super typhoons

Satellite images during COVID global shut down showed how fast the earth started healing , cooling down. It has been proven that when industrial size farms plant crops there is a drop in temperature because plants & soil work to get carbon out of the atmosphere but when the crops are harvested & those huge areas lie dormant temperatures start to rise. New farm methods involve planting crops within huge high trees , symbiotic farming involving free range animals etc. Hope it catches in or we r screwed as a species

Electricity generation in Singapore is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels represent about 95% of Singapore's total electricity generation. Singapore is part of the problem, not the solution.

As the rich demand more .the poor are the one that suffered most ,be it the ppl. Or the countries

I simply turn my aircon on when I get home and only turn them off when I'm leaving for work the next day. I used to only use them at night but that plan is out the window now that it's hot as hell all the time.

Am from Kerala (a state in India) The heat this summer is early and unbearable. Climate changes are increasing. Few years later earth wont be suitable for living anymore. Scientists do something about it PLEASE...

No body talks about the Elephant in the Room Over POPULATION 8 Billion now When I was a boy 4 Billion 1960s The World's Resources and the Planet cannot sustain this..that's the Main Reason 👎🇬🇧

it hit 50 in BC Canada last summer...

it will be difficult to change people who are driven by greed

Watching while sweating during commute on my way home 🥵

The average carbon footprint per capita is actually not high among countries in Asia. Hopefully lessons like the pros and cons of different built form and density can be learned by more people in other places.

This will not be a new normal. It is simply the hottest summer...so far. it will probably be even hotter next summer.

Crops need planting earlier in the year than usual and reaping also before the extreme temperatures kick in. Also crossing crops with those that are more resistant to slightly higher temperatures and creating newer hybrids might help farmers in this situation. Also compulsory volunteering from younger people during the cooler periods of hotter days, for up to an hour at a time, would help with harvesting if finding workers becomes difficult might also help farmers with harvesting essential crops for consumption and export.

Your room is heated by a continuous flow heater to 30 degrees Celsius. The external temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. Would the temperature change inside your room with the window open or closed?

The buildings that cool themselves is so genius I like that. I wonder if California most turbulent areas of earthquakes if they implement such if that will make it less turbulent. Not sure if that will make a difference I just wonder 🤔 I just believe that severe heat helps make it more intense.

3months from winter we are having 34-35 degrees on non rainy days, whole year has been like this

I started getting heat rashes this year, now I know why...

In Indonesia now 35 at noon ...so hot today 😪

Good luck with no air-con buildings. In no time, even those will become unbearable in the day.

2:16: 🌡 The last eight years have been the hottest on record since 1850, with extreme weather events becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. 8:26: 🌍 Climate change is causing more frequent and intense heatwaves, rainfall, and flooding in Asia. 16:15: ⚠ Extreme heat and drought caused by climate change are threatening maize crops, leading to reduced yields, higher prices, and challenges for farmers and animal producers. 23:07: 🌡 The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves pose a significant threat to vulnerable populations, food supply chains, and workers' health and productivity. 32:13: 🌡 The video discusses the urban heat island effect and its impact on vulnerable communities during extreme weather. 40:03: 🌡 The increasing use of air conditioning in Asia is contributing to rising energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions. 44:33: 🌡 The lack of preparedness for extreme heat and the effects of climate change is concerning, and action needs to be taken now to adapt and thrive in this warming world.
