- There is no denying the effect that our environment has on us. Things like water and air pollution are detrimental to our health. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’ll take a look at some of the ways our environment impacts us, why marginalized and low-income populations are disproportionately exposed to environmental pollution, and what we can do about it.

A lot of people missing the point.... the weather example was not a focus directly on climate but rather how climate is inextricably linked to socioeconomic realities. If you live in an impoverished area, you are more likely to suffer from the effects of climate or disease as you are literally less protected by your city.
I was 11 in Chicago during that heatwave. I have to say, as a kid, I really enjoyed it. But I was very aware of the toll it was taking on society. At dinner every night me and my brother were forced to watch “the boring news” (which, now, I’m very thankful for). I didn’t get outages are my house because I was on the same electrical grid as the highway and therefore a priority, but I remember there being outages all over the place.
I have visited Chicago in the summer (which feels very fresh for my tropical standards) and I cannot believe it had a 50+ °C wave. What a terrible disaster, barely mentioned by the people that tells the city's history.
Still love how almost nobody talks about how all the roads and parking lots contribute to higher temperatures.
No, I'm not saying that's all it is.. just saying it does play a part in the issue.
Which is why they easily could be given solar panel roofing, allowing the parking to be shaded and for it to actually generate electricity to the grid.
If I remember correctly, a lot of elderly people also died from the 1995 heat wave. Very sad
At least 300. That was the summer I graduated/ started college, and I'm from the Green Bay area. My family didn't want to cook (we don't have air conditioning, never have, never will), and didn't want melted ice cream for dinner. I suggested we go out, let the professional cooks deal with the heat, and we did. (We also never had a regular habit of going out to eat, so I was surprised my parents said 'okay'.)
It was over 700
Yeahh particulates. Its the hazardous materials in the air. When I would take air samples at construction sites to ensure things like asbestos wasn’t being exposed in alarming levels.
The weather in my state has changed awkwardly, i feel very stressful
Am existing in Phoenix, AZ. Use to come here if you had a breathing problem. No longer. Now almost daily, we have a hi pollution- ozone pollution. Because I have COPD, been wearing a mask for 12 years, during those days. i remember when visiting and living in Los Angeles. The smog was so bad that your eyes would burn and very hard to breath. Has gotten better there.
Thanks for referencing Dr Bullard. It would have been helpful to reference the divide between urban impacts and rural impacts, because so many of the companies changing the climate are operating from black, rural areas like port Arthur. Port Arthur is already hurt, and will be increasingly harmed by "CCUS" which is touted as a climate solution, but has increased particulate matter in Black Rural, formerly enslaved areas like Port Arthur, Sulphur, St James, Reaerve and Ironton. The Plantation Economy of the United States has never left us, the struggle continues against the plantation owners who are making the planet uninhabitable.
Wow, I didn't know it was so bad.
This is kind of messed up. I’m in Austin so things, naturally, and well developed. But when I visit outside that bubble, things aren’t as great as they should be. I want to do something!
Can you make a video about superfund sites in the US? Would really appreciate bc most people don't know about them. thanks!
Please do a crash course on Architecture
eeeey! Its Vanessa from Braincraft! Crash Course is a veritable Who's who of my subscriptions list haha.
please do a crash course in public administration
We need this addressed!!! I'm done with no understanding that this is a health matter!!! We have to work together
Thanks for making this video.
Weird how it always comes back to class
I felt like a happy healthy person until I watched this video.
This is what studying feels like :D
very well made video tho!
Good Video.
When you look at the map for 1995 and the one for covid, the pins are not at all in the same zones as the heat event in 1995.
I knew I recognized that voice :-)
I am wondering what Vanessa's accent is. I am not a native English speaker, and for me sounds like a mix between American and British and Australian and maybe a bit Scottish.
Please let me know if anyone knows!
Yay my town! But horrible weather in unexpected intervals is par for the course here in Chicago. Remember the Winter of No Winter? I do. It was over 70 or even 80 all winter except in 2 days in Feb when it snowed and then spring came. This year? What heat wave. Seriously it went around us, and I've seen that happen before with other weather systems. I think it has to do with our spot right by the Lake and in the middle of every weather front east of the Rockys.
I remain convinced that come the goddamn apocalypse - any of them - it'll be the last major city on Earth. While the eastern seaboard is leaving to join Atlantis, the CA coast cracks off the mainland from the Big One, the SW turns into the Sahara, Canada is replaced by a glacier, and the Evangelicals all get dragged into a portal to Hell down in the South, we'll be sitting here like "huh, weather's a little weird this year," and then go about our lives wishing we still had coffee.
Quite effective narration!
Awesome video but I’m trying to look for the astronomy playlist. Anyone have the link if there is one?

ua-cam.com/play/PL8dPuuaLjXtPAJr1ysd5yGIyiSFuh0mIL.html I can see there's already a reply but for some reason can't view it so sorry if this is the second link you get
The preacher has a very good idea
You all might use heat index but I only trust the degrees I see on a thermometer
🔥🔥🔥
people will still not care about this cause government diverting the topic and people also not showing concerns cause they will be gone in few years so they don't care
💚💙
,🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Nice shirt ma'am you get 👍
wow. very informative
It's almost as if there's some kind of warming going on globally...
Nah, that's ridiculous , there's no way anything like that is happening
Oh crap, let me turn off my table fan. Hopefully it offsets the carbon footprint generated by a billionaires temperature controlled swimming pool on their mega-yacht.
Don't know what you're talking about, coolest summer we've had in AZ in a decade.
whaaatt?? could you imagine? that would be ridiculous, we're"just" pumping out gases that trap heat within our planet, how could that warm out planet?? ridiculous!
I need to find a good source of information on the Degrowth movement.
Wtf is going on with NW Chicago lol
Sick of heat? You need to visit India and see what temperatures are like...
Let's add some Power cuts too.
my father kept me from using cast iron pans by saying not to ever use the ones we had. that they were too complicated to take care of.
i'm so angry
:0!
sorry those two maps are no correlated at all
It’s not “human activity and growth” as a whole who has caused the climate crisis but particularly certain countries.
Nevertheless all counties should take action.
Your guys should give out diplomas to highest subscribers and viewers. ;P
🤔
danger season
violent crime doesn't keep me from going out side. m'lord upping rent when i "loiter" does
sorry about that I left my heating in for week.....
misericórdia
Improve the environment, stop smoking!
So avoid everything. Thanks
First
don't forget racism. It is impossible to get a taxi in those neighborhoods, bus routes are limited, and those 2 hr wait times for an ambulance.... ambulance service may not even bother with certain neighborhoods. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said of Chicago that it would never be integrated because of the intrinsic racism. It's not just about climate change, it is about racism. If the pandemic showed us anything it's that white people can afford to drop everything and buy a second or third or forth house in Montana. how do we hold people accountable when we won't name them?
I came here for THIS comment right here. You hit the nail on the head without creating a whole side narrative like CC did here. I love your insight!
Don't Breathe 3
Comment.
Just move north. I dont have an AC and I'm still wearing sweatshirts in August. It's pretty nice.
The video expressly states some people cannot afford to move. Also, eventually we will run out of places cool enough to support humans, provided things continue at this rate.
where are you, exactly?? i'm ready to leave NC. the climate i is literally killing me p
@@feleciah7872 You took the words right out of my mouth :)
You must have thin blood cuz it can get hot as balls even in Boston.
ah yes, if you're homeless just buy a house, if you're poor, just get money!
I actually like the heat...
