That Thai motorcycle taxi drivers said, “When my face goes dark and I’m about to faint I go to the petrol station and drench myself in water.” DW translated it as something about not having a choice about what job he could get? Wtf
It was probably something he said at another time in the interview and they didn't know Thai so they put the wrong clip
This is the power of the comments section.
😂
You're the champ bro, thanks for helping common publics.
Climate change is the fruit of Petrodollar. In 1970 there were only 600 million cars. Now there are 1.4 billion cars. The funny thing is the EV that is climate friendly cars are taxed in many USA allies. Thus there will be more rooms for petrodollars to grow and USD is getting more expensive.
Bangladesh, the Philippines and Thailand aren't even the biggest carbon emitters in the world, but we are the most affected by the global warming.
these rich countries always saying "we need to cut down carbon emissions and use green energy asap" aren't even doing anything because they are all in the comfort of their homes with air conditioning powered by fossil fuels. All this renewable energy thing is ALL TALK!!!!
expect that next year will be hotter than this year.
It’s more about geography than economics.
We demand these rich countries to take responsibilty. Millions of people suffers from your carbon emissions
as you await and keep close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah, through which the heavens will be destroyed in flames and the elements will melt in the intense heat. 2Peter 3:12
Well, that's actually not true. Those countries Are cutting down on carbon emissions and Are using more and more green energy.
I'm from Western Europe. I'm wearing 4 layers of clothes to keep me warm. Then I use 2 blankets on top of me to also keep me warm. Next to me is a warm-water bottle to really keep me warm. We only heat the living room anyway. Which basically means it's cold inside.
I buy as little as possible, donate to charity shops what I don't need, don't follow fashion trends (my coat is 15 years old). I don't have AC. There are many like me.
This is the reason why indonesia never listen to EU "useless talk and law"
They forcing anti deforestation, but at the same time releasing billions of tons of green house gas every year
Governments: Avoid direct sunlight and outdoor activities.
Also governments: Give permission to cut down more trees.
Saving trees should be priority but they're doing everything apposite and we people also don't oppose this.
Climate change is mostly contributed by China and bigger countries
Very true. People complain about warm weather when in fact the cause of getting global warming is the losing of trees while releasing too much fossil fuel in the athmosphere. When you looked in the sattelite, you can see how many trees have been lost.
Government : tap water unsafe? Just get your water from our dear friend Nestlé.
they don't care about the majority as long as them rich get good roads and enjoy air-conditioner at home, they will keep their eyes shut for average citizens who can't afford ac or high energy cost

@@MiniKodjo Apparently, you weren't paying attention. He gave detailed information beyond just saying, "it's hot."
@@user-ll9qk2el4dMinikodjo said "bro" so he's "woke" therefore gets plenty "likes" and you don't. yet at the end of the interview the journalist was making a very crucial point: tap water is not safe... Which raises a real existential threat and a political issue. But who cares right? We're on YT.
Thailand's tourism industry revenue is worth billions yet no free access to drinking water for Thai people...
0:52 "but I can't choose another job, can't I?" He didn't said that, he just said the weather is so hot he need to go to gas station to have water washing his face or he can't go on driving. lol
Translation is often a issue. I can't understand Thai that good but sometimes at least get the tiny hint of what is going on. I wish they would translate exactly what others are saying
Even with my low level Thai I picked that up.
Thanks for clarifying
Oh my, thanks.
He said whatever this news channel wants you to hear. Except for you, you understand Thai. This need channel sucks.
From the Philippines here and yes it's been a struggle 🥵🔥♨️♨️
It was a struggle in the Indian Southern States, Australia and more since February-March where heatwaves were going on. The only relief is lower temperatures due to bit of rain and autumn too in these regions though it's still hot. Some of those places are amongst the world's most humid places. USA, Europe should prepare for it as it's terrible. Climatic changes are on especially in last few years including Wild Weather Too
We had snow last week here in Finland and -10 celcius
Only for the poor. And in the part of The Philippines where I am the rich pay no tax and minimum wage 'laws' are flouted by EVERY employer including local 'government '.
What was the temperature like last year and what is it this year ?

It's not only the heat temperature itself. It's also a humidity. If the temperature is high and the humidity is also high than the body try to sweat more but can't cool itself down and this is /can be a danger to the health and body.
In the face of global warming, it's crucial to consider new methods to mitigate the health risks caused by rising temperatures. Enter the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), a measure of heat stress that takes into account not only temperature but also humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation.
By communicating WBGT, meteorological agencies can provide a comprehensive understanding of heat stress conditions. This empowers the public to make informed decisions to protect their health, especially for outdoor workers, athletes, and vulnerable populations.
With climate change causing more extreme weather events, incorporating WBGT into forecasts is an important step toward safeguarding communities from heat-related illnesses. Greetings from Germany

What…nobody is acknowledging the periodic warming of the pacific ocean waters at the pacific? The El Niño weather pattern is greatly contributing the warmer weather patterns from last year and this year. I agree that global warming has an impact on current temperatures, but I think comments on here are overstating its true impact at this time and not considering overall global weather phenomenons like El Niño.
In the Philippines is 45 degrees and It is said that This coming May it will goes up to 50+ degrees . We are now suffering the heat 😢 even in the night is still hot .
sarap mag kape ah
In Singapore it’s at least 33 degrees . Walking out for 5 minutes is like 30 minutes of walk under the scorching sun. It’s more of the humidity that’s making things hotter . Even in the night.

Correction: *are we doing. (And also don’t forget the billions of unnecessarily slaughtered animals each year..and the methane of course..)
Sitting idling in our couches enjoying our creature comforts. Doing nothing for 50 years while the government was paid off by corporations to ignore the warnings.
Whenever there is a slaughter house of animals been killed for consumption or any kind of abuse there will always be atrocities. The west will be next. This is karma. All living things are part of God including you. Please spread the message. We as Asians should know better therefore I have no concerns or compassion unless things have changed. As a Cambodian we are starting to wake up slowly and it’s up to us to make that change.
People near the equator: "guess ill just die" srsly wtf do we do now
literally most countries having all time high temperatures every year and there's still people denying there's a problem
In uk last summer lasted 5 days in northwest maybe, where I’m live was 25 Celsius max, now is the coldest April when we still have to use the heating to warm the house up, so I think it’s still depends of the location in the word. 20 years ago I’ve been told that uk coast will be gone in next 20 years because of climate change, and I’m 100 % sure now it’s not gonna happen anytime 😉
May be climate change but the scam is saying it's caused by humans, no proof of that,
Here in the Missouri we had a negative 10 degree Fahrenheit night in January. One of the coldest days on record.
@@jillbelas7266and the rest of the winter was negligible.
Climate change deniers are mostly from the west. They don't feel the impact of greenhouse gases as much as people living near the equator do.
Why they had to cut his report very short. This is more important news. A very serious one. Just because you are not affected yet of this climate change doesn't mean you will not be affected soon.
in southeast asia, it's less about the temperature and more about the humidity. the high humidity traps heat and it makes people feel like there's always a cloud of heat just wrapping around our bodies all the time during the day.
52C is the equivalent of 125F. I had to look it up
Yes which is more like Middle Eastern Temperatures and that's what Southern India had just 1 to 2 months ago with heatwaves where Australia too had heatwaves. USA, Europe are in for deadly summer as the rest of the world has been having it. Only relieve in Southern India is bit of rainfall while for Australia, it's autumn. Rest of India has heatwave going on. Climatic changes are on especially in last few years including Wild Weather Too
@@rmot2911 I am south indian, this weather is very typical. Climate models do not predict significant increase in mean temperatures in South India. In fact South India is predicted to become wetter, meaning more plentiful water. The largest increases in temperature will be in the polar regions.
@@rmot2911 As indian we are much stronger and intelligent than other races. In delhi the heat index also rose to 50C but because due to our superior genetics we are able to tolerate high heat. Southeast asian people are weaker so they cannot tolerate as much as us indian.
@@SpiritualSeeker-oq5pt Yes, thankfully now, South India especially Kerala has been cooling a bit due to the rains as stated before. Hopefully, it will rain more though it's places like Pathanmanthitta and Kottayam Districts that have felt the effects of flooding too in last 6 years thanks to global climatic changes where these regions were more humid than Ernakulam District this year (usually it's the other way round). Despite the wild weather including flooding, the average rainfall in South India especially Karnataka, Kerala etc has been reducing in last few years

The thing is Bangkok is not even the worst in Thailand. The most extreme heat intensity was recorded in Lampang, the province in the Northern part of Thailand, yesterday at 44.2C.
Fortunately, Lampang has fields to dissipate the heat lots of trees, Bangkok doesn't, there are no trees to speak of. Bangkok is an inferno.

Today, I washed my car in the garage, out of direct sunlight. However, my smartwatch recorded a heart rate of 150-160 bpm, which is the same range I experience during a 10K run.
It's quite a hot one in Bangkok today.
There are people who can afford to stay indoors and not step out during this extreme weather condition but then there are people who just have to step out to make a living for themselves and it's sad that our so called world leaders are silent about it!
I live in Eastern India which has been experiencing heatwave for the last 10-11 days now, and trust me the scene ain't pretty outside. Seeing people getting heatstroke and fainting on the road is scary, there's only so much you can do to protect yourself from the killer heat and humidity.
Humidity is key, it makes it feel hotter as our sweat take longer to evaporate so we trap more heat on our skin
I'm on PH and my ac is almost running non-stop for 24 hrs. Once you get out of the room that doesn't have an ac, the heat will slap your whole body and immediately feel the sticky air enveloping you. I'm used to very hot weather but man, this time it's unbearable.
It's terrible. There are already three people I know who had heat stroke due to the extreme wet bulb events here in the Philippines.
Fellow south east asian, our schools got shut down. It reached 47 degrees Celsius yesterday with 76% humidity. My father works as a construction worker in these conditions. Last year he suffered heat exhaustion. I feel very scared to think about what will happen this year
You need to urge people to plant trees and avoid pollution. Ask the big companies to avoid pollution.
Been to South east asia recently and i can tell you one time ive been there right and its like a horrendous 46 degrees but it felt like 55 to be honest. The humidity is the killer.
malaysia had also experienced a heatwave a few months earlier since January. both January and February are the hottest months in the northern region of peninsular Malaysia due to the rain shadow effect shielded by the titiwangsa mountain range throughout the winter north-east monsoon. a small town called Chuping in the northern Malaysian state of Perlis had recorded the highest temperature of 40.1 celsius in 1998 and sometimes the main road cut off by a local water reservoir reappeared because of the prolonged drought. in another northern state of Penang, the local water reservoirs experienced a drastic drop in water levels right after a few pipe burst incidents and repairs happened in January.
It's the same here in Cambodia. Yesterday it was 41 degrees and 40 today. Right now it's 01.45 am and it's 30°
But aren't those high prices a sign of inadequate infrastructure? If there was more energy available then prices would (should) be lower, right?
Highest temperature in Singapore gets up to around 34-35°C with 100% humidity around the hot seasons. I hope it never hits the 40°C mark.

Our Ooty is a hill station located in southern part of India at an altitude of more than 2.2 kilometers above sea level. Our town saw a record 30°C this week, which is almost 6 degrees higher than average

The weird part is that countries near the equator actually wasn’t too hot during summer. Places like Singapore, Indonesia’s Jakarta and Malaysia’s KL are around 31-33 degree Celsius yesterday… because we’re all year summer, we don’t get hotter than countries with seasons during summer.
I was just in Bangkok and it was incredibly hot, but the heat index was in the low 40C- not 50C. I have yet to see a weather forecast that shows anything like that in terms of heat index.

You can actually drink tap water in most (not all) places in Thailand, and there are increasing number of free drinking water dispensers, but mostly in urban center.
Or just take a few tap from the river, boil it, brew it through a filter, serve it on a cup, then throw a few ice in it, and drink up. I use to do this at my time in Thailand a long time ago.

All the focus is on Bangkok. It's far hotter in the northeast, 45°C ambient right now at 12 noon. This is normal weather for April/May. The past 5 years have been cooler, which is abnormal. In a few weeks, it will be a cool 36°C, when the rainy season starts.
All countries must plant trees everywhere. This will help reduce the feel of the temperature and help the air quality. I do not understand how anyone with a brain cannot accept that climate change is real.
Singapore plans to plant 1 million trees by 2030.
Isn't the high temperature for a given day about 50% of the time above the average for the day and 50% of the time below the average?
When people start to die by the tens of thousands every heat wave, maybe even millions, in places like India (which is predicted to be the country most impacted by extreme heat), will governments finally take a stand?
875000 die in India during last year's heatwave and yet no action from world superpowers. If they continue with their emissions, India might see 20-40000000 people die each year due to heat. That many deaths just from India alone.

Externally, the upper limit of the human body's thermoneutral zone-the ambient temperature range in which the body can maintain effectively maintain its temperature and equilibrium-likely falls somewhere between 104 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit (40-50 degrees Celsius), according to a 2021 study published in Physiology Report.
Every year it goes up by 2-3 degrees. If we are to hit 50 this year, it means that we all will not survive in the next 5 years.
