Cover your gutters, duh!
Global warming at it's finest
The earth always finds its equilibrium. We are not important to the universe. Not at all.
Iceland could been the location of the 536 volcano
but people are happy to buy these homes? and when the sh**t hits the fan, the government should do something.
Good stuff
Well its not global warming! The Earth is in its wobble. This happens ever 3500 years, and it will last about 13 years! Gps had to be reset! For ships, planes ect. The Earth Axles has shifted 15 degs South and West. Places once warm, are now cold. Cold places is now warmer. Same with the POLES. Yes they will melt, and refreeze else where!
We live in a democracy run by a capitalist system. We provide safety nets for vulnerable situations provided by a socialist system. Unfortunately, regarding extreme safetybissues created by capitalism…there needs to be a system of communism that dictates if you get to live in a fire hazard zones – whether you’ve got money or not.
UNLESS…you can provide your own water above and beyond the water that’s already there (GOD), you have your own fire department and hospital.
Also, we need a social/capitalist system to PREVENT and pay for million dollar issues from becoming billion dollar issues.
Homeowners shouldn’t be URGED to make their property safe … they should be REQUIRED.
And all homes/property should be built and maintained. If you can’t afford to do that, then either…
1. You can’t buy or keep the home/property.
2. You vote for people who care about people, land and climate.
3. STOP worshipping system that ALWAYS leads to lies, death and destruction CAPITALISM* on steroids.
*A system that needs a major over-hauling to protect the ignorant, and protect people in general from the unscrupulously greedy.
They got what they deserved
Living near Mt. Rainier we have basically air raid sirens that go off a couple of times a year as a test for the mountain coming back to life like it’s sister Mt. St. Helens.
Unfortunately this is really outdated information.
With fires getting out of control by wind.
Why not fight the fires back with wind..
If u grew up on back and white TV on cowboy movies..in the movies huge type fans would be use to make windy scenes.
Just a thought. Maybe the wind could redirect the fires…
17:42 It floods in Texas. Stevie Ray Vaughn has a great song about it. People move there for the taxes. They say it's lower than California. They move there for Republican values. Problem is, taxes pay for the things they don't have but need and their politics says things like "climate change has been around since the beginning of time" and are otherwise mislead by propanganda.
Hi 😢
I live in the mountains not far from those fires in Kern county. The smoke from those fires was awful. I can't imagine those poor people that were effected directly in the fires suffered. The Ca drought has been a nightmare.🙏
It's pretty impossible to live safely in wildland Ca today.
I just love to hear the clock tick
San Antonio is worse w flooding
End poverty and discrimination, thats in your control. If you do, God will stabilize the climate in a single day.
Hey! Some good eruptions might be able to force our global temperature back down…? Because we're clearly too corrupt, greedy, dishonest, willingly ignorant, and most clearly of all, too stupid to stop from allowing capitalism to lead us, like trained work dogs, right off a cliff.
We need to learn how to choose – and how to enable people to choose, the right, the good, the fair and just choice. *To no longer simply continue to take the most profitable course of action, regardless of the massive long-term cost!*
Imagine how much farther we'd have progressed by now, how much better the world could be for all life, if we operated society by each choosing actions based on reducing overall harm and/or maximizing overall good. We would not need to worry about earning a paycheck; we would all make sure that everyone is cared for, because the better we all do… THE BETTER WE ALL DO!_
Instead of doing things that we personally disagree with, because it's our job, and we're being paid to do whatever our employer decides will maximize the profits for themselves; with little regard for anything else… We all operate like zombies, or ants — driven by a force we never really even stop and really think about — working ourselves to death, causing unfathomable harm, pain, death, destruction, and extinction. In the long term, our work to get paid and support ourselves is actually a net loss! We destroy each other, ourselves, and the one planet we have to live on… Because that's what earns our employer money, and gets us paid, albeit begrudgingly, and as little money as they can get away with paying us for the use of our very lives to make them rich and comfy.
We could have avoided doing *so* much useless, wasteful, stupid work; farming corn, for example, because that gets us paid the best, with government subsidies… But because of the subsidies, there are way too many corn farms, and way more corn than anyone needs. We farm corn JUST TO GET PAID, wasting all the time, money, effort, energy, and resources, because if we were to actually cultivate something useful for society, it wouldn't pay as much or as reliably. So we keep spending our lives on idiotic things, just because of the _money! Because we can't imagine getting past working for the imaginary value of cash, even when it requires the utter squandering of things of actual value!
We are so stupid, collectively… It's killing me. We've built a system that rewards the worst people, for doing the most harm to the world that we all have to share. We put the most evil humans in power, and we spend a third of our lives or more slaving away, doing insipid busywork that allows them to hoard more worthless cash, and literally driving ourselves to extinction in the work to give them the most comfortable, care-free lives of luxury.
It's time for that to end. They do not care what happens to us. They would rather be the only fish in an empty pond, than share a pond with other, equal fish. They're happy to let whole continents of people and other organisms suffer and die, as long as they get to hoard more imaginary-value money… As they pretend that a huge bank account will keep them from being the main course after they allow society to collapse; after extracting the value from everything the rest of us actually need to live, leaving most of us with nothing… and nothing to lose.
Why we put idiots like Elon and Trump, and corrupt liars like… Just about everyone, on top, and allow them to dictate to us what we get to do and have in our lives… We deserve every bad thing that we're going to be living through and dying in, now and in the coming years. Individually, most people are okay… But collectively, we only really seem to end up going one direction, every time. We are ruining the planet while destroying ourselves. Completely without necessity. We could co-exist, and not wreck the planet. But it's slightly easier to be The Worst, so we just end up doing that.
I love you all, but god do I hate us.
The earth’s magnetic fields are getting weaker because the poles are going to flip. Look it up. It’s called science!
Earth is flat. Stop believing globe lies.
Could we preemptively bury a volcano?
No one wants to believe in the potential of reality!~ So they don't!~ Let me help you all with some reality!~? I found out I had to go homeless because of other people doing it!~ So one thing I learned after ""Ignorance"" was scraped off, of me! As for the first time to Being Cleaned From It!~ The First thing I though of was no more fear~ I will not let people, that only pretend, to know best, but don't know anything, For Real And Have Nothing To OFFER!! So I learn to think for myself for the first time in a full time, mode!~ And come to the conclusion that Some place are not place you can live in!~ As I found out going Homeless for five years in a row!~ With no one Caring if I lived or Died!~ So I said to myself I am good And Know it is up to me to think for myself!~ If I want a future!~ I knew it had something to do with having something to offer!~ Someone else first!~
So it could come back to me!! To not worrying about me anymore!~ When Going Homeless I reeducated myself!! To see in The Big Picture, World~ ONLY! That only deals in facts!~
Because opinions Are nothing more than just clouds in the head!~ Some are StorMy, Some are of a Noxious Gas'$ types!~ In the Head! Then their. is the Fake reality clouds in the head~
So now you know what I had to deal with@!~
To know people are like that!~
Because the """Education I/we got from the all forgotten past""" was all ScatterBrain in its results!~ They never teach people to the most important's!~ Of anything that is!~?
So their problems come to be!~ To know more about opinions & and hearsay!~ Than the facts of reality And the right way'$ from wrong!~ Of not many to know!` Or Care!~?
So Now I have more knowledge & More Talents Than anyone else!~ So. Now It is not about me anymore!! It is about the people that can't think for themselves!~ I Wish more people could find the capacity/capability to reason by way of commonsense thinking for oneself~ So to make a long $tory Short I would not live in place that I can't find Security of!! With the last place I want to live at And the many places That are a risk to Just """Visit""" Only!
You know~? Where the fun really is!~ Again I know!~ lol…..
I looked at Hurricane records… it appears that Hurricanes are also like numbers and people…
22:06 is a good point to disentangle climate change and flood disasters.
Mother earth she give and take. You can only watch , analyze and try to understand. However she will do her work slowly and steadily to balance the process of nature.
people alway's are in or at places they have no business being!!!
What about the Nirangongo volcano in DR Congo? That is a potentially huge eruption in the making, it's upsetting that it is not mentioned.
Category 4: in Hurricanes: Winds 130 to 156 mph leading to catastrophic damage to homes with winds strong enough to tear off roofs and walls. Most trees and power poles will be downed. Can make areas uninhabitable for weeks or months.
Fires are the worst as they destroy our lungs, our precious trees
Mr. Sheraden (at 9:27) does not seem to care that, so far, over ninety thousand viewers have looked at the nose that he did not bother to groom before he was interviewed….YYYUCK!! I did'nt even hear what he said as my stomach turned.
Those Granit mountain hot shots were ordered to save a particular ranch because of the political power of that ranch owner. Maybe they were not in the best condition due to fun times in town the night before. or so I was told. You decide.
Love that awesome yellow, black Columbia jacket 👍
Sorry but if my family was in that mess i would have died digging for them. I dont know if that amount of shock absolves that man of cowardice.
Why does this (he is not the only one), being geologist / glaciologist scientist insists to express temperatures using obsolete, idiotic Fahrenheit degrees, when no other country in this system that U.S. inherited from the British, abandoned a century ago and not used by anyone. If U.S. people are ignorant, why contribute to the idiocy?!
Mass drowning is step forward in natural birth control.
Imagine living in ancient times . The worlds weather dosent stop changing. Good old liberal 60 minutes.
I think we should be very worried about wats happening with our planet. We going through a flood crisis in New Zealand due to Cyclone Gabrielle..Three days after Gabrielle we had a Earthquake in wellington.
