3:02 pm
bay could be tied to this heat. and climate change only threatens to make things even worse today will ask a bay area expert about the impacts and that if there's anything we can do about it, we'll have that conversation in just a few minutes, but 1st a look at your news. headlines. that's why been disappointed. yeah. >yeah. lack of engagement. with the da's office, and so we're moving forward. >>governor gavin newsom is pulling back on an offer to send attorneys to help prosecute crimes in oakland. accusing alameda county d a pamela price of refusing the state's help. we reached out to the da's office for comment, but have not heard back and governor newsom is also wrapping up efforts to crack down on crime in the east bay. he is sending 4 times more chp officers to oakland. and increasing certain rich operations. over the next 4 months. the operations will start on monday and target organized crime. side shows and carjackings. the man is suspected of killing 4 family members in a shooting rampage.

3:04 pm
chance to buy shares of the team, they say investors will be able to weigh in on key team decisions like where the team is based. changes to the brand or logos. and even front office. hiring decisions. kpx is a proud partner of the ballers. you can catch their friday night home games on picks plus well, it's back. it's another 1st alert weather day and is the hottest day of the week. chief ben rogers. paul hagen is tracking the triple digits for us and paul the warnings that also come with them. today. it was warm even in san francisco. >paul>temperatures are still hot, and we're still under heat advisories and excessive heat warnings through tomorrow, but the peak of the heat is occurring right now. this is our closest encounter with the heat dome this time around little ripple off the coast of southern california. is going to be drifting up towards us. as we head into you will light tomorrow and the weekend that's going to help to push that heat dome just a little bit farther away from us. but unfortunately what it's also going to do is transport some of the smoke. from the lake fire burning in
3:05 pm
santa barbara county up into the skies over the bay area. this tracks smoke through the entire depth of the atmosphere. it looks like most of this is going to be in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere, not at ground level where we have to breathe it still air quality something we are going to monitor on a day by day basis. doesn't look like that hayes is going to be on the horizon. all that long. we should see improving. visibilities and improving air quality. overall as we head into sunday and monday as the onshore breeze is going to strengthen, and that is going to help to keep our temperatures close to normal for the 2nd half of the weekend and into most of next week, but they are anything but that today. the coolest part well, it's pleasant. downtown 72 degrees in san francisco, but it's 85 across the bay in oakland. inland temperatures close to 100 in san jose and in santa rosa. and 105. degrees right now in concord, 108 degrees flirting with record territory in livermore. 1 of the traditionally hottest spots around the bay area, so if we're close to records in livermore you know it is exceptionally hot as we head through the rest of tonight, there's going to be a little bit of fog trying to push across the bay, but it's not going to make much progress into the inland valleys. of the
3:06 pm
north bay because they some reduced visibility. these is to start the day but a very shallow layer of fog does not take long. to dissipate and we'll see that fog backing up to the coast already by late morning and even pulling away from the coast. for 1 more day, so coastal sunshine if not actual, warped, and they're still going to be plenty of heat farther inland temperatures tonight they only retreat to the low 70s on the warmer end of the spectrum, a lot of inland temperatures are going to be stuck in the 60s, not a long period of time to be able to open up the windows and getting a fresh air some actual natural air conditioning in the house the coolest spots will be closer to the bay. and in the valleys of the north bay, dipping down to the middle portion of the 50s there and then highs are going to warm up. except right along the coast, mid upper 60s for pacifica, half moon bay, mostly low 90s down the peninsula with mid to upper 90s and a few low 1 hundreds as you go farther inland in the santa clara valley. to around 102 degrees around morgan hill. has been the case today and yesterday, the hottest spots will be inland in the east bay, the tri valley around 100 degrees trying to 105 degrees for the hottest locations in your antioch and brentwood. around
3:07 pm
the bay. it'll be warm, but not that hot, low 70s in san francisco right around 80 oakland, taking a little step temperatures. in the north bay a lot of 90s on the map there with more locations getting up to around or above 100 degrees as you head farther north. especially around ukiah and clear lake all the way up to about 110 degrees, so make sure you're taking those hot weather precautions. we are far from alone in this. this is the heat dome that has been just camped out over the southwestern u. s. it is going to be another exceptionally hot day for the entire region. about 210 degrees just below in sacramento. 110 exactly. in fresno, another day above 125 and death valley and yet another day likely the 7th in a row of at least 105. degrees for high temperature in las vegas and, of course, climate change does play a role in this we measure that with a metro called the climate shift index, which indicates how much more likely an extreme weather event is due to the influence of climate change. and this kind of heat is only made about choices likely due to the influence of climate change around the bay area. but 4 to 5 times more likely as you go in into california and much of
3:08 pm
nevada, utah, and even into arizona. let's take a look at the 7 day forecast, and there is some good news in sight. we do have relief from the worst of the heat headed our way inland parts of the bay area back to near average on sunday and then staying there for most of next week. in fact, we're going to be seeing pretty close to normal temperatures across the entire region as we head through the majority of next week. temperatures in the lower half of the 70s around the bay to really just 1 more warm to hot day. in the temperature saturday is still going to be above normal, but more reasonably hot for this time of year and, of course along the coast. you're going to be in the 60s back to your back and forth fog pattern as well as we head into next week. in fact, more of the just persistent fog overhead for coastal parts of the bay area next week, liz >liz>paul. thank you. officials in santa clara county, say of the 19. heat related deaths. many of them did not have erkan dish inning or didn't have it turned on and several were homeless are kelsey thorough? talked to 1 woman who is sounding the alarm.
3:09 pm
for the past week, sean cartwright. has been trekking. across santa clara county checking on all the un housed people, >people are just so hot. and i mean they have no energy for anything. sean is with a new housed response group or urge and all volunteer team that provides supplies and aid to the homeless. she says. this latest heat wave continues to be unbearable for so many people living on the street. >just in this kind of a heat wave. people just cannot sustain that. there. your body is not made to basically be left out. in the heat. with no food, no water cooling centers have been opened across the county to help people beat the heat. but john says those aren't much help to the un housed when they don't stay open. overnight. >they should be open overnight to follow along with the county recommendations. and that would really be helping people you know, having caught that people could lay in.
3:10 pm
electrolyte. with electrolytes and things like that to give people some sort of respite, but they're not. sean told me. she's certain more people will die. in the coming days. as temperatures again peak over 100 degrees. >i'm not worried. i'm just i accept that they're going to die because nobody is getting it together like people say that there's is an emergency, but nobody is responding like it's an emergency. shaun says all she can do is continue to check on all the people she knows and provide. what supplies she can't her hope is that more people will join her in doing that to try and save as many lives as possible. >liz>think the heat is bad. now scientists say it will only get worse with climate change coming up, alaska bay area expert about where we're headed and if we're past the of no return. but scientists wanted to study global warming here in the bay area. why some of them got the cold shoulder. keep

3:13 pm
>liz>while the bay area deals with dangerous heat. other parts of the country had their own. extreme way. and some global scientists say it is no coincidence. they say humans are at least partially to blame for climate change. and that we are really just hurting each other. >these hot months mean? hotter heat waves. it means much more heavy rainfall. it with devastating floods as a consequence. which do violate
3:14 pm
the right to life, the right housing the right to free culture. and social life for many many people, and that is why we care about climate change, and that is why these records are so worrying. >liz>climate change even has the attention of nato in a report this week, the organization said climate change is impacting allied. security, citing its efforts on naval forces and their capabilities. join me live now is tony marks block, a professor of anthropology. at cal state east bay. thank you so much for joining us. >live>thanks for having >liz>me now. just now. we heard a climate scientists call climate change a really a human rights issue, do you agree with that? >live>yeah, i would say that certainly to blame. is not all of us. but really some of the largest corporation. and fossil fuel companies. on earth who the blame is squarely at their
3:15 pm
doorstep. and as a result the impact on communities. especially ah, those communities that are most marginal. throughout the world. uh, they need to be addressed by global leaders and the corporate class that has continues to allow greenhouse gas emissions. to proliferate. and for fossil fuels to continue to prove politically draft the world when there are alternative solutions. too. our energy needs. >liz>your expertise is in anthropology, which is the study of human evolution, right so how we live differently? i can imagine you're seeing is going to be drastically different from how are great grandchildren? live. right? are we going to be able to adapt to our warming planet? >live>well, i >liz>think >>it's really important to look at deep history and human capability to adapt. um
3:16 pm
throughout lots of climate. changes. in our history. and the way that we need to adapt today is really to invest >liz>in >>structures. that can cool our bodies that can help us avoid the noxious chemicals from certain types of catastrophic wildfire. um and we are very capable. right. we had our this country is able to produce immense matter wealth and it's just a question of how do we we invest? and and we need to invest in particular. and as we saw social and affordable housing >liz>for >>people who >liz>are >>most vulnerable. in our communities here in the bay area. um if we don't do >liz>that >>they are going to continue. to b. impacted by these extreme heat events and we really need to take care of our communities. i think that is
3:17 pm
what people in the bay area want to >liz>do. >>um, instead of criminalizing people who are on the street we need to actually bring them into places and invest. in homes for them in a real >liz>way, believe that enough is being done to combat climate change. both in preparing people for this very you know, changing. planet. and providing the resources. for them, but also convincing. people that climate change is happening. it's here. and it's everyone's responsibility. to do their part. >live>yeah, well, there's been a longstanding campaign of censorship of climate science. for many decades that has been sponsored by fossil fuel interests. um and i think there has been a shift in recent >liz>years. >>and what's important is that we now recognize what is needed to be done. we need to drastically. and rapidly reduced green. gas emissions. so for example, here in the bay area we can start closing. oil,
3:18 pm
refineries. that better all across the bay and the delta. we need to stop. drilling for oil here in california if we claim to be uh, state that is taking climate leadership. these are solutions. too. cooling the planet. is yeah. the root cause. but also trying to fight find solutions that actually benefit people. um, that don't allow fossil fuel corporations to continue to oh, pollute. you know, capturing carbon at the site of various electrical generation plants is not actually approved. proven solution. and so but unfortunate this is the path of the state of california has taken stead of investing in alternative energy and reducing
3:19 pm
energy and electricity consumption. >liz>all right, professor tony marks block from cal state east bay. thank you so much. for joining us. >live>thank >>you. now with california's climate growing hotter and hotter, another big question is how much should humans interfere with nature? in this project earth report are in mackovic. has an update on experiment. in alameda meant to cool the climate. the climate is changing the planet. is warming >and >>we are being the >impact. >>shrinking. glaciers and ice sheets rising sea levels and more extreme >weather. >>but while the earth continues to warm, >i have that on my computer climate scientists recently got the cold shoulder. >we need to know more about this before. you come to our city and start the experiments in early june, city officials in alameda blocked the scientist. from continuing basic research into an experimental approach that might 1 day help slow global
3:20 pm
>warming. >>yes. it involves a device that spray sea salt particles into the air and along the deck of the uss hornet, which is in alameda. in the future, this aerosol might be used to brighten clouds. so they can reflect sunlight away from the earth and temporarily cool the planet. but the scientific evidence is lacking. >to provide the data to understand how this would affect climate system, the scientists left disappointed city officials felt they did the right >thing. experimentation is very counter. versatile because of the intended unintended consequences. and other parts of the world. but the city of alameda cannot stop the rest of the world. some teams are going full steam ahead without the benefit. of the >evidence, >>and that is a problem. >no 1 has control over what people do in different parts of the world at this time. there is no regulation in place. there is no global treaty in place about this technology. lisa dealing is an associate chief scientist with the
3:21 pm
environmental defense fund. or pdf for >short >>at this, she says, we don't know enough to safely deployed cloud brightening or any other form of solar gop. which is >why we absolutely think now is the time for doing. research on the impacts of this technology. pdf will finance it. the nonprofit will issue grants 2 teams around >the world. the better inform >government we need to have strong scientific understanding. before any decision is made about this. that could be a decision not to use this technology in the future. it could be a decision that to use the technology in the future. back at city hall, the mayor remains motivated to identify more immediate solutions. needed is doing a lot of things to address climate change and global warming level. rise is truly an existential threat to our ireland community a threat that requires looking hard at cloud strategies. and not just having our heads stuck >in that. >liz>yeah. the environmental defense. fund will start
3:22 pm
issuing grants in october. and the city of davis gets its share of triple digit heat as we all know. now it has a project in the works to try to cool things down in the years to come. they just got a 24 0. 0 grant to fund the cool pavement project road repairs that should make the city more resilient. to high heat. >and we were looking at areas where we don't have a lot of trade cover. or we had issues where the pavement was able to observe. a lot of hate. and then raised the temperature of the surrounding neighborhood. >liz>certain roads will get a new coating that makes them reflective. the cooling pavement doesn't absorb this sense heat, which in theory makes the air around. it cooler, davis identified 15 roadways. already in need of repair, with little shade where the change could make a big difference. still ahead. it's not just you the extreme heat can put a lot of people and just a bad mood. we look at the toll it takes on our mental health. stay with us.
