Deadly heatwaves ‘100 times more likely’ due to climate change – BBC News
Record-breaking heatwaves in north-west India and Pakistan are 100 times more likely to occur because of climate change, according to a new study by the UK’s Met Office.
Temperatures once predicted to happen every 300 years could now occur on average three times every decade.
Pakistan and India have suffered extremely high temperatures recently, with deadly consequences.

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.

Can you tell me how if this whole Climate Change subject wasn't a Hoax the world's Governments wouldn't be up-in-arms against the CCP for heating up the planet – WAKE UP – You're being Fooled – Even Barrack Obama and Bill Gates have newly bought Mansions RIGHT NEXT TO THE SEA – Not worried about rising sea levels in the least ….

More of the BBC's persistent exaggeration and false information on the subject of climate and weather news. It's simply pitifall institutional alarmism. We deserve much better from an organisation which forces all of us to pay for this ridiculous content.

Took an entire college class on Climate Change recently. The things you learn when you research it for yourself – most of us do not want to know. Yet human misinformation, complacency, and wishful thinking continues to not change the reality of what is happening. I've gotta say – it's very real. Educate and research for yourself. What is happening and what will happen is going to be very catastrophic to life and our entire human future – if we do not change the course of things soon. It's not going to be some cute cyberpunk tale with rainy skies and ramen. We have already destroyed so many ecosystems. Research the coral and acidification. Research the rayon and plastic blanketing the bottom of the ocean. Realize that you are sleeping in and wearing, surrounding yourself in literal plastic and petroleum all day. These toxins get into your body. Maybe you don't eat well either, and allow others poisons in. There's a deadly cycle of capitalism, greed, misinformation, and money that is responsible for all of this. "Eating seafood that has been tainted with mercury is one of the most common ways humans accumulate mercury in their bodies. The mercury in seafood is a highly poisonous form of the metal called methylmercury, which forms when mercury dissolves into the water." With little regulation, and so many countries contributing to an ever-growing problem, which goes unaddress based on human ignorance. It's not a joke. Acidification and heated oceans will kill most life and will then kill all of us. We don't survive without pollinators because the plants we rely on for food will not exist any longer. There's more alarms going off all over this sinking ship that you can even imagine. WE NEED TO BE SMARTER. Many intelligent Men think it's already too late for us to do something, or turn this around. Some do not feel this way. I'd say that means waiting, or putting it off is a bad idea. We need real change and real laws in effect now, yesterday. Plastics, damning, oil, waste, meat production, foresting – if we don't get these things under sustainable control, we will veer this tiny blue, infinitely rare, and so strangely serendipitously perfectly balance planet we call home, off it's rails, and there will be no future for anything. The destruction of the industrial age and post WWII decisions needs to come to an end so human, and animal life, of the future may have a chance to live and see this world too. A lot of people lived and struggled and fought to make this race of man, to get us where we are, to make all the people that led up to YOU. In the infinite histories and stories of our past, would our ancestors, all the dead not want us to preserve this home they built? Would they not want us to take care of, clean, and heal the home we have just like you would the home you live in and have worked so hard to purchase. Maybe even the big one is a bit more important? Why would we let all that work, all of this existence, our rare chance at brains and love and awareness and art and everything that every happened, all the humans of the future relying on us.. why would we destroy that because of profit margins and gluttony? Because we need meat 7 days a week and can't possibly figure something else out other than fossil fuel usage? This generation is our last chance to turn things around. It's not a joke.

The guy around 1:00 is not saying the things being translated. He says: "We have a lot of problems. I feel more thirsty. I feel more burnt on my skin and if I don't get water I feel that I might faint. We have a place to drink water that is sent to us that we drink and that gives us a little bit of comfort. But yeah it's really hot." It is not so far from what he said but then, I wouldn't want my words being mistranslated and made additions on for the sake of making it more dramatic.

If they provided more incentives like opportunities to work from home, places for people to stay after work, where they don't have to keep driving home every so often and many other things. Also all kids taking buses to school or walking. I have met so many people are too lazy to even walk to school and drive despite living a 10 minute walk away. Walk places or cycle,it certainly will help reduce carbon footprint
