- Large parts of Southeast Asia are reeling under the exceptionally hot weather. The conditions have been worsened this year by the El Nino weather phenomenon. Ms Lydia Law, Heat Resilience and Performance Centre co-director at the National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, tells CNA's Asia Now why the region has been so-called "boiling frogs" for so long.

The Why part is really simple, over-urbanisation, rapidly rising population, deforestation, increasing energy consumption, rising Co2 levels, increase heat production from industries and economies.
The title said WHY, you didn’t address that question.
welcome to the internet
That's because, climate science is complex.
Indeed...misleading title...
@theinazmie2472 climate science can not be adequately addressed with simplistic answers.
@@pandemicoftheunvaccinated5367 it's true as of today due our limited comprehension of parameters affecting the climate...
At night, the air feels like standing behind an aircon compressor… oven like with high humidity
Would be better to get into afforestation than industrialisation.
Measures should be taken to reduce domestic and industrial emissions.
one example on how hot the weather is now in thailand - if you buy a pack of soup say at 5pm then you walk around outdoor say for 30 minutes n the end the pack of soup became even hotter than before
No more sky scrapers & reforestation & minimize artificial AC and emission
Because most of big forests are destroyed in Southeast Asia.
Why aren't you saying that there is a worldwide destruction of forest instead?
And cities are completely paved with concrete, and cars are needed to get anywhere. It's made much worse by these
Southeast Asia has a lot of corruption so yes deforestation, garbage problems, burning for agriculture, etc. all contribute to their countries getting hotter.
I think in the US it's warmer also. Spring and fall seasons aren't as cool or long as before anymore.
Wait till Nusantara develops..more forests in South Borneo will be affected..
Its not like we're in the northern or southern hemisphere. We're right in the equatorial region in case we've forgotten that. So, the question should not be why, but how......hot😂😂
I'm going to have some panipuri at my favourite stall and it is built under a nice big old tree.. it's still hot but love that big a s tree and the region nearby it which is foresty
Australia is the Driest Continent on Earth (Known more as a continent than Just an island and country). 90% of people live in less than 10% of Australia as Outback is so hot and has unique, wild animals too. Thar Desert of India that's also 1 of the World's Hottest is where 100s of Millions of People have been surviving for 1000s of Years that includes some of India's Richest Royal Families where they had Vernacular Architecture with Natural Cooling and Storage System too (The British Royal Family have married commoners a bit But rarer to find that amongst the Indian Royal Family Members. India had about 575 Kingdoms and 1000s of Chiefdoms in 1947 though like Southeast Asia, this would fluctuate throughout both their histories of Southeast Asia and Indian Subcontinent including India as India as a nation came about in 1947 though the name India as well as the name Bharat, both originated about 1000s of years ago). It's interesting to see that 100s of Millions of People have been surviving for 1000s of Years in Very Hot Thar Desert of India.
ASEAN cutting down trees=HOT
ASEAN getting urbanised after cutting down trees=HOTTER
Ladies wearing skimpier in ASEAN urban cities=🔥🔥🔥
As of 2022, China 🇨🇳 was by far the world's largest *coal* consumer with 55% of energy use, an increase of 2% of the total energy from the year before.
So China is accelerating the use of coal despite it having signed the Paris agreement.
Why is she speaking like she is reading from a script?
She is
@@theinazmie2472 so she is told what to answer
@@eddylee7786 or prepared by someone else...🤔
@@theinazmie2472this is the most correct answer. People don’t really know what occam razor is huh?
Was in Hokkaido and now in Tohoku, cold until I have runny nose
that is east asia and hokkaido is typically cold throughout the year
Nothing is more hot than National Development The right to develop at challenging times🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing
It should be HOW not WHY just see how the urban planning . Everywhere is high skyscrapers without any trees planting 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Of cos, the greedy land developers want to profit as much as they can..trees don't help generate profits
Hot as balls right now in Chiang Mai!!
We humans have been following the Western Ways of Life for Last 200 Odd Years that includes Skyscrapers, Modern Architecture and Urban Planning Instead of Vernacular and Traditional Architecture where Asians and Africans had including for Storage and Cooling Naturally which Westerners via Original Europeans copied from Asians and Africans (Both sides have pros and cons). These Books written by Western Authors like The Dawn of Everything by D. Graeber and D. Wengro, How the World Made the West by Josephine Quinn, Theft of History by Jack Goody, Stealing from the Saracens: How Islamic Architecture Shaped Europe by Diane Durke and many more that can be found under Amazon or Google show how West took Knowledge from Asia, Africa, South and Central Americas which is how they started doing better within the last 500 years or so. Or did they? Because 1 of the reasons the world is facing global climatic issues is because of following the Western Ways of Life for Skyscrapers that started in Chicago City, Modern Architecture and Urban Planning instead of going for vernacular and traditional architecture with Natural Cooling as well as Storage systems too (natural cooling storage systems which Asia and Africa had that was copied by Europe and European Settlers in Other Western Nations)
Thank you for your logical and clearly stated commentary. We are being sold many lies by the powers that be and far too many people are falling for them. It would help more if we had more voices lile yours able to share with the wider populace logical reasoning. There is no mention of the solar cycles at all in these commentaries that are the actual cause of climate change and have been a normal part of the lifespan of this Earth.
Where is ASEAN in dealing with this problem?
in ottawa canada here, and it's been getting colder and colder every year now for past decade. I'm sure this is going to be a pattern. Wherever its hot will keep getting hotter and wherever its cold will keep getting colder. The only places that will benefit will be those that are historically cold but getting warmer
In Singapore, it's getting warmer and warmer every year for decades..wish we could export some of our "heat" over :D
Heat ekata oyage T-back eka suwanda ma suwanda wenawathi ane 🥰😍
Interesting perspective, the lack of seasonal change unlike more northern climes, the effect of inertia and the 'boiled frog' analogy
Well, I am living in kl and the heat wasn't that bad compared to Thailand or Singapore 😅.. One more reason to not live in sg or Thailand.
how to answer by not answering
Here in PH We are being roasted like LECHON because of the extreme HEAT
Keep voting for the idiot politicians so it will get worst in the future
LOL Lechon
Magaling po! Because, I had lechon poisoning once and the pig needs to be cooked more than pinoys do.
Good
I am waiting for you to say "Pollution" or "Co2" but I have been noticing Scientists Very Guarded against either since I MAdE it clear to you that Time Has Speed Up.
the heat is on, and Iam loving it.

its El Nino.. not La Nina "Extreme temperatures in Southeast Asia caused by El Niño and worsened by global warming " Nature Communications webpage
@@tukicat1399 El Nino and La Nina are actually different and opposite events, see the following link:

Exacerbated by climate.

Solar flare is happening😢😢

Says someone whose information universe consists solely of social media,group messaging apps,live streams or nut job conspiracy theorist websites.
The people who die from cold exposure is 10 times greater than the amount of people who die from heat exposure. Yet the fear mongering continues.
it is hot due to hot men and women.

The Earth is wobbling like a spinning top as a result of a colossal celestial object four times the diameter of Earth that entered our inner solar system in 2003.
The rich can take a holiday in Europe while the poor suffer in this extreme climate
The rich have 24 7. AC. They are never hot so the don't care.

This is so scripted!!!
Meanwhile In Malaysia it's raining
What does rain have to do with heat waves?
Climate and weather are two different things.

Not the world. Just humanity

It is hot because SEA is on the equator.
Liking the simplistic comments.
@@pandemicoftheunvaccinated5367 Occam's razor
Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia is nearer to equator but these few days only 30-33 degree Celsius in the day while Thailand, Philippines and Bangladesh are further away from the equator and its 38-44 degree Celsius these few days too.. tell me why the countries near equator is cooler than those not near equator?
@@ditsygirl5409rotation off due to pole shift, weakening magnetic field, active solar weather (solar maximum).
@@ronzombie6541 actually no…. During summer, the hottest spot will be 23 degrees north of equator because of inclination of earth of about 23 degrees, the equator is not directed straight to sun,
🦍😳
The world is ending... Just let it be.. 😊
The earth has seen worse... humanity, however...
God's wrath on humanity
Live in cooler countries, problem solved.
And experience extreme cold
I would suggest people to eat more ice-creams, ABC/ice kacang/ais kacang, cold soya bean milk & ice fruit juices maybe schools should have promotions for the students cheaper price.
Eating ice cream make your unhealthy expectually in this super hot climate
@@HarosGaming I'm 63 years old don,t seem to have any issues young man even riding a mountain bike 5-63km and stopping for a cold Coke, ice-cream, large can of beers & ABC since last 4 years till now even before i reached my present age. Physically you have to know how tolerant is your health being doing outdoors since 1979.

5 Steps to prevent global warming
1. NO fire crackers specially in new years eve
2. NO black smokes in vehicles
3. NO burning of tires and wheels
4. NO burning of garbage.
5. Plant more trees.
Good start. If things do not improve I'm afraid we are doomed. Everyone helping and doing something positive is better than nothing.
Instead we choose to cut down on straws..
6. Be vegan
Let it get warmer. Just address poverty.
Why? Dont know about other SEA countries. In Singapore, its contributed by wrong Government policy of over importing foteigners into Singapore. Deforestation, cutting down big trees to build concrete building to house them
Its not just science We are in the end times repent to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ he is coming back but before that there will be a great tribulation
when?
