Climate crisis: Where will it be too hot to live? – BBC Newsnight
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Climate change is bullshit. Ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica and many other climate proxies prove the Earth was actually warmer than it is today for most of the past 10,000 years. From 7,000 to 4,000 years ago the average temperature of the Earth was about 3 degrees C warmer than today and stayed relatively warmer than the modern world until the 12th century B.C. when temperatures began to fall. As temperatures dropped evaporation from the oceans decreased causing persistent and wide ranging droughts which led to the Late Bronze Age collapse.
The climate began to improve again at approximately 200 BC, ushering in the Roman Warm Period when global temperatures were at least 2 degrees C warmer than today. When temperatures fell again in the mid 5th century crops failed and the population, weakened by famine, was decimated by the Justinian plague. Humanity suffered in the cold during these dark ages until temperatures finally warmed again at the beginning of the 10th century.
From 900 CE to 1300 CE the mediaeval warm period saw global temperatures rise again to an average of at least 1 to 2 degrees C warmer than today. This was a time of abundance with mild winters, longer growing seasons, increased food production and generally pleasant reliable weather. During this period of warmth the Vikings were able to settle Greenland and explore the Northern coasts of North America. This Viking expansion would have been impossible in our modern colder climate because it's too cold today to grow the same crops the Greenland Viking settlers were successfully cultivating from the 10th to the 13th centuries. At around 1300 CE average Global temperatures dropped again to about 2°C colder than today. This Little Ice Age period caused the demise of the Vikings in Greenland.
Before 1200 CE the winter sea ice had never reached Iceland. At the beginning of the 13th century the southern limit of sea ice began expanding far enough South to reach the island. By the mid 13th century sea ice was surrounded Iceland for an average of eight weeks each winter. Throughout the Little Ice Age Iceland was surrounded by ice for longer and longer periods each year. By the 19th century Iceland was almost permanently locked in sea ice, with only a couple of months each summer when the ice would melt enough for ships to travel between Iceland and the rest of Scandinavia.
During the Little Ice Age mountain glaciers expanded throughout North and South America, Asia, New Zealand, and Europe, consuming many mountain villages and drastically reducing the area of arable land. Frequent cold winters and cool, wet summers led to crop failures and famines over much of northern and central Europe. In addition, the North Atlantic cod fisheries declined as ocean temperatures fell in the 17th century. In North America between 1250 and 1500, the Native American cultures of the upper Mississippi valley and the western prairies began a general decline as drier conditions set in, accompanied by a transfer from agriculture to hunting. Over the same period in Japan, glaciers advanced, the mean winter temperature dropped 3.5 °C (6.3 °F), and summers were marked by excessive rains and bad harvests.
The climate crisis myth is based on many inaccuracies in historical climate data, failed climate models, and totally ignores solar variability along with the effects of clouds, ocean currents, and sea levels on global climate, as well as many other factors that could mitigate human impact on world climate. The pessimistic, and ever increasingly alarmist, global warming scenarios depicted in the media has little to no real scientific basis. In fact many aspects of increased CO2 levels and the mild warming it may induce, such as the CO2 fertilization effect on plants longer growing seasons, a reduced need to burn fuels for heating, would have a highly positive impact on the human race. Many proposed “solutions” to the global warming “crisis” (like “carbon” taxes) would have severe consequences for economically disadvantaged groups and nations.

Where will it be too hot to live? Within the fevered mind of the Sheeple who believe the propaganda that there is a "climate crisis" and that CO2 has any effect upon the environment, other than beneficial. What a stunning hoax.

Guys look I to natural building techniques. It has basically all answers to housing crisis, doesn't need fossil fuels, and has passive air conditioning, keeping warm at night, keeping cool during the day.
We need to dial back our reliance on modern technologies and rethink and make use of ancient ways of living, adapted to a modern standard.
Also people need to reevaluate what they really need.
Food, shelter, community, fresh water.
I highly urge you to look I to natural building and how it uses genius designs to keep it cool in the summer to the point where you might even have to wear a sweater inside the house. In summer. Because it keeps it that cool.
Our generation is perfect for learning the ancient ways of the last generation to pass it onto the new generation. If we do t do it now, this type of knowledge will be lost and people won't know how to use it.

I got married in 1975 Oct 25th it was a hot sunny day glorious the same as Oct in 2023 it was maybe a little hotter in the north of England .The glaziers are melting they always have since the Ice Age it is what ice does it Melts. The weather is all over the place that is because Governments like China / America are using chemical from planes leaving chem trails to disrupt weather patters its a bio war against each other to disrupt countries and sometimes they drift in the atmosphere over countries that they were not intended for. The reason Climate Change was voice is it raises taxes against companies i.e wrapping. waste. petrol anything that Governments can raise money on. WAKE UP PEOPLE get real stop being sheep led by the nose and following world Government misinformation indoctrination.

If technology advances at an exponential rate, wouldn't it be reasonable the say that by 2030 science will have a solution to climate change, why are Governments panicking?
Or could it be that we have unreleased technology but its about global UN/WHO population control?

Neal Fox Climate change is a lie Iv just done the maths
37.12 billion tonnes of co2 emissions per year world wide
1 tree absorbs 21 kgs of co2
There are 3 trillion trees on earth give or take
So that’s 63 trillion kgs or 630 billion tonnes 🧐so the trees are removing all the co2 never mind the grass and other shit
