8:15 pm
americans and 2nd place you're watching the, the way you news from, well, i'm coming up after the break of documentary on how he waves caused by global warming are likely to change our lives. i'm to call fairly, thanks for your company. the . the green space innovation. green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed is secure. we subscribe to those channels. we've got here it is. every friday, subscribe to plan. it's a the the world is desperate to cool down to frequency and intensity. of heat waves across the globe is steadily growing. every year. new record breaking temperatures
8:16 pm
are set just how hot could our planet get and how will the extreme heat impact our daily lives. movies and our major cities are perfect heat, drums, diffusion. i sort of knock a big question is whether temperatures will hit 50 degrees during future heat waves, according to what we know today that's definitely possible. or we underestimating the threat that heat weighed suppose. and how can we protect ourselves as the planet across, hotter and hotter the when it comes to cities in europe? the risk of dying and a heat wave is greatest in paris, according to international studies in 2023. no other large city in europe has
8:17 pm
suffered such widespread heat trauma knows you like any tune to simply balance on call the shuttle exception. energy no lifted. the beautiful is it takes summer of 2003. it was extremely hot, proven to make the sleeping at night. it's difficult to be defeated over more depths than usual. an undertakers were busier, but it was not extreme. when i taught more people die shopping the same every year . quite a band, something unimaginable happened in august are usually around $38.00 that's per day of dealing with. and suddenly we were recording $650.00 deaths over 3 days to conflict with us about the equivalent to the 3 airplane. cautiously, we did never experienced anything like it initially became the metro it to the city see of is you don't the majority of these that happens in flux when think groups on the 6th or 7th floor, they're very small spaces that feel suffocating, super,
8:18 pm
for the elderly or those living alone with little or no contact is the outside world. their homes became deaf and dropped in sure. no one was checking up on them because most people are on holiday, then it was that of those slots heated up like of hundreds of people inside them simply died. you can use a menu, you can choose who knows what to do. see those who sell jones off, especially the method is yours all the parts to the other problem is very real. we have sick people dying sooner than they should to people who shouldn't be dying at all. the critical and just one of the greatest challenges we face was in preserving the bodies as well because most products of the deceased were away and holiday meaning funerals have to be delayed. we have to act moves because we're dead bodies all over the place. it up, would you think it was like scenes from a war?
8:19 pm
it seems to be strange. when that will be said, the only solution we identified from horace and was to store the bodies and huge 30, a ton refrigerated truck. so if you're going to be different, we're forced to make decisions. nobody wants to make. no, no, i can't even begin to imagine what 50 degree heat will feel like i'm thomas would be unbearable if temperature is reached 50 degrees to be no one left here. 50 degrees in paris. it sounds unlikely on like other parts of the world for these kind of temperatures or even higher are becoming regular occurrences. the what the greatest global increasing heat weights is happening somewhere. no one would
8:20 pm
expect the cubic human bill twice to the hit to better understand the region where heat waves have increased most over the last 30 to 40 years is western europe. the on monday in the 1980s, a heat wave was still fairly uncommon that we had 2 to 3 very hard days on average a year on the line today. so that figure has risen to $7.00 to $10.00, annually. fox plants, 3 to 5 times the number of very hard days and decent on. so i just wanted to talk and how many extreme heat weights might the future bring at e t h is eric climate scientist as a special is modeling tomorrow's heat weight scenarios. how is the heat weight even defined heat development and if you need it all. oh, so the heat waves are defined as abnormally high temperatures, both day and night. in this specific region. i see the temperature threshold for
8:21 pm
switzerland is around 30 degrees long see, but the figure is higher in parts of the world where people are used to 100 temperatures on the hood in greece, for example. but also in india is the threshold is much higher and indian it's introduced by that time. the hood let's start with the good news. unlike many other extreme weather events, gateway it's can be predicted fairly accurately up to 7 days in advance. they are triggered by very specific means your logical developments finish it's available, alex is on wholesale, should be decent. state waves begin with a high pressure area, pose warm air in from other regions and pushes it towards the ground. the air compresses and keeps up as it sinking events. the cloud cover in the trance of precipitation or reduced to get the bone. the sinking air can cause extremely high temperatures at the ground level. one temper totally unfolding to europe is warming
8:22 pm
more quickly than any other concept compared to pre industrial times. climate change has already pushed an average temperatures by around 2.2 degrees celsius. the number and intensity of heat waves is increasing because they're starting point is hotter than ever before. however, there is one other reason for the rapid rise of heat waves across europe, fast flowing air currents known as the jet streams. one of these jet streams flow is about 10 kilometers above the surface of the northern hemisphere and usually brings cooler air to europe in the form of the low pressure areas. jet streams can split into 2, causing low pressure areas to be redirected. this leads to even more intense heat weights. the so called double jet states are becoming longer and account for almost all of the upward trends and heat weights over western europe and 30 percent of
8:23 pm
those across the larger europe domain. this combination leads to one record breaking temperature after the next a bizarre state of affairs given the records are generally broken, very often. busy a change of pace to escape, the heat can already be absorbed in some european countries. image bind, eckleman, which is a seat just kindly those are, you know, the ceiling and that's costumed is ended up in most pain. like in many of the hot places and or our lifestyles and customs have been adopted around the heat. is that a southern european countries are the same as the yes to is seen as a time to take a break and relax while the heat subsides will. yeah. but people have learned to adopt their daily reasons for the coolest times of the day in the next year. so if you have just a moment of having us kind of. busy 3 of our basic bogus or i think are the main problem with heat waves is there is nothing you can do to escape them. ok, we tend to think we can get away from them. it's like that they won't affect us
8:24 pm
when i think that's exactly what makes them so dangerous. i mean, i mean days, believe it or so. but if we can't escape them, what effect does the heat have on us? can we still function in high temperatures? what happens to our performance levels, which we consistently see with experiments, is that the time perception changes of it. so people tend to think that time process faster, think of business one seconds normally. and then in a hot term farm and you think this one seconds has passed already after this amount of time for which we also see is that people make decisions fast and then they make more mistakes. our cognitive performance is not the only thing impacted by the heat . the, our interpersonal relationships can also suffer from another angle would be more on the mental or in the emotional side. so, so what you see is that people get less patient. so if people are in the group,
8:25 pm
they can get more aggressive in the heat because they don't show the same patients that they would not could normally have with another person, there appears to be a link between seat and aggression. when heat pushes us out of our comfort zone, our bodies release survival hormones. although designed to protect us from dehydration, they also make us more hostile. heat makes us less inclined to help other people. our body switch to higher efficiency mode, forcing us to focus on our own needs rather than those of others. the heat has a range of negative effects on us. what is it simply because we're not used to it? throughout evolution, humans have adapted to all kinds of challenging climate conditions. why not now?
8:26 pm
these are close and bull this king are looking at the questions like these. is there such a thing as an ideal temperature for humans? if you ask me, what is the ideal temperature, there is no such thing as one ideal temperature. so it can very well be that you're sitting on a terrace, enjoying a beverage, and you're in your comfort zone. but at the same environment where somebody is working. because of the higher activity level, this person is outside it's comfort, so heat can quickly push us to our limits. but what if we could alter those limits? these are clouds is examining how we adapt to heat by exposing participants to high temperatures for days at a time in a climate chamber. so in the climate chamber, we gave a participant telling metric bill this bill allows us to measure the bodies court temperature, which represents the temperature of the 5 to organs. our bodies are highly
8:27 pm
sensitive, measuring devices that react to any change in temperature without us even realizing the heat itself. it's invisible, but we can sense it. although our average body temperature was around $37.00 degrees celsius, we constantly produce heat burning calories. this extra heat must be dissipated. it's key to our survival because human beings only tolerate minimal fluctuations to body temperature. so, how do our bodies do this? over here, i have a cold object and i have all the objects hardy and it librium no cause to hold. the object is warmer than the environment and the cool the object is colder than its environment. this means that this ice cream is taking the heat from the environment . the heat is flowing from the environment into the ice, heating it up just until it is the same temperature. that of course is no longer
8:28 pm
ice. i best enjoyed it now. our bodies constantly expo heat, but the harder it is harder this process becomes. fortunately, our bodies know exactly how to react any increase in temperature is detected by a range of heat sensitive nerve cells. these thermal receptors are scattered throughout the body in our skin, internal oregon's muscles and the brain. they send information to the hypothalamus, the brains metabolic control center. and the hypothalamus basically decides how the body will respond. so the 1st line of defense, a guess hot environment is to increase blood flow to the skin. because with the block you transport a lot of heat, all the way from my heart to the skin. and there is can get lost into the
8:29 pm
environment. and if that's not enough, the human body has one more trick up at sleep. it's one we've mastered better than almost any other species. if we look at sweating from an evolutionary perspective, it was this response that made it larger. 5 full sbc is possible. the ability to switch any of our ancestors but necessary endurance for hunting. ready while their prey eventually over heated and collapsed with exhaustion, sweating helped hunters keep their body temperatures within safe boundaries. so can these mechanisms be optimized using targeted heat training? can we learn to adapt? if you have exposure to the heat for multiple days in a row, you get some advantages in the heat. for example, your body core temperature decreases during rest, but also during exercise, your heart rate becomes
8:30 pm
a bit lower and you start to sweat more. and this means we can lose more heat to the environment, but you separating more what the experiment shows. but despite our core temperature rising quickly, in the 1st few days, the increase is delayed. after multiple repetitions or bodies acclimatize the process takes around 14 days. however, even a climate ization has its limits, it only works and dry heat and not weather are high levels of humanity. sweating is our biggest avenue for heat loss, and if we cannot evaporate sweat anymore, our body good temperature will rise. the air is so humid that it can't absorb any more moisture. the situation becomes more serious. we begin to overheat internally because sweat can no longer evaporate and provide its cooling effect the to determine dry air temperature and humidity,
8:31 pm
and put them in context. we use something known as a wet bowl, the temperature, it's measured with a spin thermometer the deacon. but what do you buchanan didn't indeed also talk when we measure the temperature. we're usually talking about dried temperatures and tides, but humidity plays a key role when it comes to our health video. and when we combine humidity and temperature, we talk about what's called a white glove temperature, which we measure with this device that i keep talking to. it's june 2023, and today's dried temperature is around 26 degrees before the wet bulb. temperature is 19 degrees and it feels pretty humid, but once it exceeds 20, it becomes really unpleasantly sick. when i add 30, it starts to become dangerous because alice at what point does the went both temperature pose a threat to life. we used to think that a wet boot,
8:32 pm
the temperature of 35 degrees, was the limits for human survival. but this is only possible with actually no activity level. if you're laying down on the floor, make it, and also ask any separate the moments you have to be active action 1st of 5 or at least some activity would be warranted. you see that this value decreases quite quickly. and recent experiments in the united states have shown that this valued then quickly decreases to about 31 degrees. and with higher activity levels, it will decrease even further. because you can also think, get different populations francais, people that are older or less able to sweat this critical value will also be lower . the sun predict huge suede is that the global population will be affected. some regents may even become uninhabitable. his condition is just almost the end. we can already see these conditions and the current being in mexico and the us for
8:33 pm
them. but they will be even more popular mexican countries like pakistan or india on the foreign tropical issue with thresholds of already reached least the limits for human beings, the centers that these conditions are driving millions of people to migrate. i can use the search of places with lower submitted c, with lower temperatures with a can survive. that's one way. those things are such as compared to this. critical thresholds could impact around 1500000000 people in south asia by the end of the century. unlike more affluent populations and the northern hemisphere, people living in this part of the world often lack the means to protect themselves against the heat. extreme temperatures, coupled with high humidity means some areas could become uninhabitable. the result would be a climate migration to cooler regions. ready what both temperatures in europe are far below these critical thresholds, but they still need to prepare for extreme weather scenarios there to. most cities
8:34 pm
were designed and built under relatively heat stable conditions. but a hotter future means europeans will be forced to adapt their living spaces more and more cities or know, attempting to counteract the heat by using the color. white white reflects the sun's rays and prevents roads and buildings from heating up. the brighter the shade of white, the more sunlight that reflects its not just the materials we used to build cities that are responsible for creating urban he islands either one off it all believes it comes down to how buildings are arranged. i'll set it into the future efforts in the us. the idea of urban physics was initially born when i was working at mit in boston. every couple of hours i took a coffee break with
8:35 pm
a colleague and i the central courtyard at mit has a fantastic view, boston sky line the other day. while we chatted, we noticed that the buildings resemble a row of molecules placed on different heights on the body, decided to calculate the parameters and functions that allowed us to characterize the order or disorder of these molecules. they rolled with the diesel, just seeing what the crew boston's european style layout inspired prolonged to determine the correlation between help buildings are arranged and urban temperatures. what he discovered was surprising to us. we're all familiar with us cities under perpendicular right to angle degree . the plans in comparison repeating cities appear somewhat jumble to many. here's an example. our simulations showed this kind of neatly organized square with it's 4
8:36 pm
buildings actually amplifies the urban heat effect. already. thermal coupling between buildings is maximized on next. the opposite supplies in many european cities. a disorganized layout reduces thermal coupling to progress down, resulting in fewer urban hutto islands. you don't shut up. thermal coupling can be compared to a pinball machine. it's an interaction between building square heat is instantaneously reflected from surface to surface, increasing urban air temperatures. easy. so if i have to optimize this quarter, i would introduce different types of buildings to the but this minimizes the height of opposing facade. sylvia. that's part of another small building here, but you've always and this is the neighborhood of the future with minimal heat islands. you show me, but it also starts to look like an older neighborhood, the whole neighborhood resembling those we know from the past. there needs to be a fundamental shift in how we build our cities for we simply draw inspiration from
8:37 pm
the past. smaller neighborhoods with a mix of buildings that are appropriately arranged with enough space to prevent thermal coupling or close enough to reduce direct sunlight by day. the city of leo's modern pon, your district is already 4 degrees warmer than the cities medieval quarter. the difference is even greater at night when the absorb heat is released into the cooler surrounding air. some 200000000 people currently live and over 350 cities where temperatures regularly exceed 35 degrees. by 2050, the figure can rise to 1600000000. adapting urban spaces can be challenging, especially in paris with its myriad of protected historical sites. however, while they were only 14 heat wave days and 2010, there are predicted to be 202030. well, that'd be, can you while we identified warmer and it's cooler neighborhoods and leal should?
8:38 pm
that's not the case for paris. paris is one huge heat island caused not only by its urban density also by its architecture, the more to every where are we looking up? we see the same 5 story buildings on the same street with which makes the thermal coupling particularly intense here. ok, the shadow terrace is one big heat island. the temperature difference from the center to its outskirts can be up to 10 degrees celsius. how can this mega city cool down? one idea is to construct a giant subterranean cooling plant, 30 meters below the surface showing. so we here in a thing systems that produces ice cold water the, the signal to please a kid network is operated by for sure. the coffee and supplies almost 800
8:39 pm
subscribers in paris with cold war to apply the result is the water is drawn from the river sense and cooled down to 2 to 4 degrees. using renewable energy. the water has been pumped across the city via a near 90 kilometer distribution network of pipes. the chilled water is circulated through museums, department stores, and hotels where it cools down into our temperatures by absorbing heat. once it has been used, the water is around 12 degrees before its pump back into the cooling system, where it's chilled again by 2040 to the cooling network will be expanded to cover 252 kilometers. and we'll supply critical infrastructure like hospitals. we offer recruiting solution that is more environmentally friendly than traditional air conditioning showing up. it does not contribute to the of any heat. i'm into fact, i know the cities oldest department stores when i showed up how the subscriber's
8:40 pm
for many years, the store was kept cool. by large scale air conditioning units on the roof, the canal with a new cooling network, keeping temperatures comfortable. the rooftop has been transformed, kendall, communal gardens, green spaces are a simple way of reducing the impact of urban heat islands. the, unlike non, for example, surfaces, green spaces, absorber, rain, water, so it can evaporate and cool the air the, the highest temperature ever recorded in paris is currently 42.6 degrees. but with a 50 degree barrier really be broken in the future. this is todd says, me know, fight to based on what we know today. it's definitely possible adamant the global warming continues. we could see temperatures of 50 degrees of powers by the middle
8:41 pm
of the century. the town home that this goes to paris has taken various measures to prepare for extreme weather conditions, including the introduction of a heat plants. if a state of emergency is declared, the authorities will call and visit older and burnable citizens to check on their will be the city is also establishing more green spaces and cycle pads and shows provisions where to find their closest green and blue spaces. so called cool islands, whether it will all be enough to prevent a repeat of 2000 and three's catastrophic events remains to be seen. in october 2023, paris simulated a state of emergency. the city's resilience was put to the test as part of a large scale training exercise. it's still the very beginning towards finding proper solutions for coping with heat weights in europe. the
8:42 pm
because it's often the other end of the 3rd moment or that poses a threat to life for human beings. the life in europe was pretty much done year. it's by the winters, i mean population in the middle age and then the in more on sometimes me the, defied the winter, specifically in northern europe, summer house always play assigned in the role in the hoss are as well. so the human being although the risk of feet waves is constantly increasing, we seem determined to underestimate their severity, hoping life will continue on as normal. but we're already witnessing serious consequences. according the surveys by the european environment agency, heat weights were responsible for around 130000000000 euros of economic damage in the u. between 19802022.
8:43 pm
spain has been hit hardest. the heat wave and summer 2023 lead to massive losses for the spanish economy. in particular, for the agricultural sector, some 80 percent of all spain's water is used for agriculture to make any farming at all possible water is siphoned from lakes and rivers to irrigate regions that are already boned dry off and illegally. the begins a vicious cycle and the booty shown to begin to hit civility at the facility. it was already parched at the start of a heat wave little can evaporate, which would normally cool the surface down to token. and the dry soil then
8:44 pm
reinforces the effects of heat waves as they become more frequent and to last longer long on the allstate. heat waves reinforce throughout periods. large parts of the lucy are in danger of desertification, all against a backdrop of intense agriculture, focused on boosting, crop you. in this, the need of a, i was due to eh, the way i go closer, focuses on maximizing production leads to endless miles of mano cultures 60, and the increase in heat waves will leave us even more vulnerable here for a monday. when that obviously that that's, that's all i pick out of the time when it's like a sea of olive trees 90 to 95 percent of people here make a living from them. it's pretty much a model culture. already able. spain is the world's leading grower of all of the majority of global produce comes from the 66000000 olive trees and under lucy is
8:45 pm
high. and province. all the trees are easy to cultivate and require little water. making them perfectly suited to under lucy as dry climate. but even all the trees have their limits. do you remember who they begin, your jovial move gc more much they to i remember it rained a lot more when i was a child, so we didn't need the irrigation systems failed. all the watering was covered by rain, as it simply means it'll get you here. over the last 10 to 15 years, it's been much hotter and the period from one rainfall to the next is longer. eli bull gosh, oh my god, it's really worrying and it's all looking at the out of even less rain fall is predicted in future years. extreme droughts, coupled with heat weights, are damaging all the trees, especially during the crucial flowering period. you know, i'm of on you get a typo,
8:46 pm
go go to them. getting to the food of the i think i know we over the last 2 years we've had particularly hot southern winds from africa that have scorched the delicate flowers. and if there are no flowers, there will be no fruit or the name or it's one reason production is dropped off over the last 2 years. because heat waves have coincided with this a critical 2 or 3 days phase. and the flowers got for and for us all of a lot of people that need only takes a heat wave during these one or 2 or 3 days. and your whole harvest is destroyed at the still play. the solo threads between crop failure caused by extreme heat and drought, or threatening the livelihoods of all the farmers like augustine bautista. as our planet becomes hotter and hotter is agriculture based almost entirely on monoculture, sustainable the
8:47 pm
extreme heat weights posed a serious threat to our fluid supply. even in places we might not expect the see the found boxes of such a parcel republishing this as a barracuda. because i mean, we have only seen this fish in the mediterranean, over the last couple of years, recruiters, operations carnivores. and they're becoming a big problem book as one official worried about. because they use lots of other species. way too many of these fish, ferocious and they're like wolves. we've never had them in these waters before before somebody problem. more and more invasive species like the barracuda, are being discovered in the waters around my say. rising temperatures, force them to migrate and disrupt existing eco systems. heat weights are not only
8:48 pm
becoming longer and hotter on land. they're increasing c temperatures to they've, i'm even one degrees celsius in our oceans over significant periods can have dire consequences. come to not hit this a fight and the hot rising sea temperatures are referred to as marine heat waves. what does the term mean? i go minus plenary heat. waves is defined as when temperatures and the specific area of the ocean exceed historic averages for at least 5 days or long ago. 5 is a normally or dimension from the known may only be one degree and sign of an increase is the full 5 degrees of also being recorded, where the water in one area was much warm at the normal like young marine heat waves are similar to heat waves on land, what their impact is, different mankind disease all need for the
8:49 pm
flush, then you can compare in the rain heat wave to the top of the crammed relay. it may affect the top layer of the ocean list, how they're all heat waves that are only concentrated on the surface, the 1st 10 meters. and they're all heat waves that reach much deeper waters, severe around 40 to 50 meters, just as new to the all even heat waves that penetrate to depths of up to 200 meters . but it only affects the ocean surface layer, and the depth of an ocean can be up to 4000 to 5000 meters deep to sign con. one, you're finding that marine heat weights occurring at depths between 50 and 200 meters or more intense. then last longer than those concentrated at surface level, the resulting heat stress endangers by diversity attempts were species and organisms are used to stable temperatures. compared to heat waves on land research at the marine heat weights as limited. it appears there are multiple contributing factors. changing ocean currents can lead to warm water being
8:50 pm
concentrated in certain areas. other marine heat wave stem from long lasting high pressure systems were cloud cover is reduced and there was more solar radiation on the ocean wins. also play a role. normally they contribute to the evaporation process and helped mix surface water with cooler, deeper layers. if winds weekend, this cooling effect is lost. there's another way when it's gonna have a cooling effect. the trade winds usually blow dust from the sahara into the air, and these dust particles reflect sunlight, ocean currents, we can these winds and there's less airborne dust. more solar radiation reaches the ocean surface. in summer 2022 water temperatures of up to 27 degrees were measured 20 meters deep off the coast of more say the expected reading is a maximum of 23 degrees at the end of july 2023. the average surface temperature
8:51 pm
of the mediterranean was 28.7 degrees, the highest it's ever been. a bit of water temperature is too warm and it's changing the entire underwater and landscape of the mediterranean inches and the highest sea temperatures are leading to unprecedented levels of dead coral. coral plays a key role in marine ecosystems, comparable to forests on land. it offers protection to countless species by providing shelter, insights to breed are these are the printers known, different you? how much the collecting samples of horn, carl and red carl from colonies that fortunately have survived when it comes to it also from colonies that have been damaged by huge waves and bleaching to the nation with a to ship out of it. i'm not going to edit any trade, gomez, which suits you a phone call, collect surviving tissues to analyze the bucket, the lab to understand which genetic mechanisms are responsible for the adoption and
8:52 pm
resumes of some of these colonies, including citizens to put quite a bit of this as well as carrying out research at the coral bleaching, please don't a stock also measure c temperatures off the coast of more say, the thanks focus solely the need to go to the summit and took the lives of the psychiatrists months. we evaluated data types and we have this diagram that shows temperatures activities from 0 to 40 meters for the whole of summer and parts of autumn to film just done. there are several waves of thermal anomalies. wonder where marie and heat waves, as they also had some days with fairly high temperatures of up to 28 degrees, go up to 80 percent of carl colonies. and the 1st step zones died. we have told me that the figures are twice as high as the previous bleaching records from 2003 sort
8:53 pm
of course, and i'll call them, i'll try to fix it. they'll do just one while heat waves on land, usually last a few days or weeks at most marine heat waves can continue for months or even years because the water reacts more slowly than there does in 2013 a huge marine heat wave appeared in the north pacific that lasted for 2 years, it covered an area of over 4000000 square kilometers and became known as the blog. this huge heat bubble prevented nutrient rich deeper waters from being pushed up. vital clinton and crustaceans disappeared from the ecosystem. as a consequence, over 100000000 pacific card and tens of thousands of seabirds perished. at the same time, warmer waters led to an explosion of toxic algae which crippled the fishing industry . it's hard to predict whether a severe heat wave is limited in the mediterranean. but as a relatively small c,
8:54 pm
almost completely enclosed by land, it's already warming up 20 percent faster than the world's oceans. since the 1980s, sea surface temperatures in the mediterranean had been rising by an average of about point 4 degrees, every decade. increase and intensity of marine heat weights are the result of huge over stimulation of our oceans. according to the inter governmental panel on climate change, oceans have absorbed 93 percent of the heat energy from additional greenhouse gases over the last 25 years. equivalent to the thermal energy of around 3600000000, atomic bombs. these of them, my son has out of the 2 thousands of when you this is a woman that will be irreversible for thousands of years. as well as leading to the rising sea levels. and polar ice melts on high water temperatures also influence how marine heat waves develop their intensity and the frequency did sign. but when
8:55 pm
you have a large cosigned, but a forecasting tool to predict a marine heat waves in the mediterranean up to 3 months in advance, is currently being designed by potentially crucial surface. especially for the fishing industry that could then avoid over fishing and affected areas using early detection systems, it's not limited to oceanic activity. scientists are researching how marine heat waves impact heat waves on land. marine heat waves, not only prevent coastal areas from cooling down. they can also contribute to turbulence in the lower atmosphere. low level cloud cover dissipates over the coastline, leaving the land below exposed to more solar radiation. either sufficient believe this is one of the main risks associated with heat waves, whether on land or etc, they are rarely an isolated problem. heat civilian mansion of sage thought to give it to the end of its product and it started to call total heat waves. often
8:56 pm
end with colossal thunderstorms, it usually takes a strong cold front and deceit waving and falling on these storms are accompanied by torrential rain that falls on dry, correct soil, which can't absorb the water, which in turn leads to flash flooding. growth we've seen floods follow a heat wave time and time again. thus i'll find a hit, the village on i need the flu. if all the while not triggered directly by heat waves, wildfires or another consequence. when vegetation drive out the wildfire sees, it begins earlier, pushing firefighters and local residents to their absolute limits. the someone standing the send used are so called 6 generation fires. that technically, we can no longer extinguish. i always get one state,
8:57 pm
break out. all we can do is rescue people, you know, try and protects infrastructure, because i'm afraid they'll soon burn out by themselves, you know, the amount of combustible material combined with high temperatures. and when is makes these wildfires catastrophic. even without such extreme events, we will still have to live with the many consequences of heat waves. the today's heat weights are already forcing us to adapt our living spaces. will it be enough for the heat waves of tomorrow? can you must case every other safety means where you start looking at the will coming in at 10 o'clock every morning. i tell myself that we must gross a small window of opportunity. it keeps getting smaller, but it's not 0 yet. however, we need to work towards designing cities worth living in developing them in a world where we live in harmony with nature. so you probably understand how to cope with each waves. how many of them as possible,
