Strange Weather

Why climate change makes extreme weather worse.



In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at how climate change affects extreme weather like hurricanes, droughts, and wildfire. With recent hurricanes like hurricane Michael and hurricane Florence, climate change seems to be definitely affecting our weather systems. I also take a look at how a focus on resilience might be able to mitigate the destruction of these natural disasters.

This is one of the best videos i have seen on climate change. Editing on point. Info on point. Thumbs up for me

John FromFlorida December 22, 2018 at 6:22 pm

Thanks for this informative video. Climate change is real and important to learn about and consider as our food and clean air mean so much. Interestingly people go to church and are told that this earth will burn to a cinder based on one mis-interpreted Bible verse. The reality is that our creator has given us this earth as a gift and we need to take care of it forever. The Bible even promises that the meek will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5) and that the righteous will live on it forever (Psalm 37:9-11, 29). A look at what the Bible REALLY teaches will open up the minds of people and get them caring about doing the right thing. Take a look at this as it gives hope for a better world soon. https://tinyurl.com/hzg55z6

Honestly unbelievable quality of videos you are doing the thankless work of informing the public about climate change and environmentalism while entertaining them as well well done keep it up

Joe Frost March 12, 2019 at 9:38 am

Nitfits, there is no climate change, the only difference is that every nut case carries video camera or idiotic smart phones to record and load up the extreme weather conditions which is nothing new in the history of human kind.

Rachel Sartor March 26, 2019 at 5:19 pm

Your essay videos are incredible, please keep up the good work! We need level-headed people like you spreading sound knowledge on climate change.

Most solar panels are sending energy back to a utility company. The energy is most often not stored in the home.

People from the 2080's will look back at films like The Day After Tomorrow, 2012 etc. thinking 'Wow climate change was just a sf story back then??"

spicecrop May 19, 2019 at 3:09 am

The climate has ALWAYS CHANGED, throughout time. You idiots are panicking because there are changes in your life time. A hundred years from now the same dry places will become wet and the wet places will become dry. That's how shit works on this world.

Rod Mac June 23, 2019 at 11:52 am

The climate change that will make weather more extreme is just ahead as we enter the Grand Solar Minimum. Global cooling has started.

Brad K June 23, 2019 at 4:37 pm

Summers are not really getting hotter. Here in Missouri we still haven't come close to the summer of 1980 and if temperatures are rising then we should be experiencing hotter summers with an increase of C02 but it isn't happening. Last year we recorded the first 100 degree day in five years. The 1930's happen to be the warmest decade and C02 was well below 410 ppm's. With an increase of C02 you would think our summers would be getting hotter but they are not. The number of days above 90 degrees are decreasing. not increasing.

Ragnvald December 4, 2019 at 5:53 pm

This is backwards….warmer air cannot hold moisture, while cooler air can. Great example of this was this summer in the midwest of the US, where temperatures were the fourth coolest on record, and moisture was one of the wettest on record if not the wettest. They are ignoring science, and cherry picking statistics about warming. Based on their beliefs, hotter weather should produce more moisture…not droughts. It is not getting worse and is not normal…unless you believe this propaganda they are spreading.

Why are scientists silent about the amount of heat generated by the Chinese population ???

China has a population of 1.5 billion, breathing every second and raising its body temperature by 37 degrees, so this large, unrestricted population has, by our calculations, added at least 5 degrees to Earth's temperature. Other factors, such as the burning of fossil fuels and so on, are also unaffected, but China, which has about half the world's population, has the most devastating impact on the planet.

1.5 billion people exhale at 37 degrees Celsius in their exhale, they consume energy for their day-to-day work, and heat up to about 47 degrees Celsius per second, and so on.

The people of the world know that only China and its large population are the main culprits in global warming, and the world and the UN must force it to reduce its population from 1.5 to 0.5 billion in the next five years.

The life of the Earth and all its creatures is endangered by China, and the world must react to this Chinese population.

People in the world should know that if left unchecked, China's population will reach 2.5 billion in the next five years, meaning they will be half the population of China, and PIN officials will have to relocate half of that population to China and other countries. They will certainly occupy the jobs and jobs of your countries.

The 5-10 degree warming of the world to date has only been caused by the Chinese population and they are the main culprits.

I saw some serious climate change today! This morning it was very dark and Cold! But by noon day it was light and much warmer! It was definately Climate change! Stupid fux! I cant believe the Total Stupidity of these U. N. Endocterinated NGO'S AND MENTALLY ILL IDIOTS OF PERVERTED GODLESS MIND SETS. CREATING MORE REASONS TO ADD MORE CONTROLS OVER PEOPLE!

1:20 This is an example of following the contrarian script – Our entire Global Climate Engine is warming!!! There is NO weather event that is not touched by the warming system it is embedded within!!! We may not be able to measure every aspect or answer every question to impossibly exacting accuracy – but we sure as hell know it's impacted by a warming global circulation system. Simple physics.

Excellent video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered – Taparton Energetic Limbs Takeover (should be on google have a look)? It is a great exclusive product for preparing yourself for a mega drought minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical success with it.

Hello at Beautiful Group. I wonder can I have something to say about your end of the world flooding. I am a retired Commercial Pilot.
Can I point out to you that when we pilots fly, we get a calibration up-date from the control tower for barometric pressure of the earth. The standard earth air pressure on the ground measured in Millibar's is 1015 MB. Do you know back in 1942 WW2 pilots also set the sub scale settings on their altimeter at 1015m.bars. So that tells you I am sure that the barometric pressure back in 1942 is the same 79 years ago. Weather patterns are governed and driven by air pressure. So why would there be climate change when the Barometric pressure is the same. To be creditable you people need to be more professional about science, as the weather is governed by air pressure. A cyclone when the next one comes along the pressure will be around 990 MBs, but always returns to 1015 MBs . So how about educating yourselves and quote data for your argument.

I refuse to watch a video that mixes two unproven hypotheses to form a third one. Stuff for idiots only.

Per Strandberg June 24, 2020 at 1:05 am

There is no evidence that bad weather now is more common. There is evidence that exposure of bad weather events now are more common in mass media, not in the real world. MSM crave weather disaster for their ratings. Follow the money of the climate cult.

Dear Friend 

Please read this and pass it on. 

Very important message. 

Have you ever heard this expression before? : Happy New Year!

Sure you have. 

It's a common expression made by Billions of people on the 1st January of each New Year. 

Looking at this year: 2020, what is so Happy about it, being a new year and being Happier than 2019? 

Has Not Global conditions & peoples' Attitudes and Attributes around the world not Worsened and Deteriorated more rapidly in 2020?

A Pestilence on a World wide scale causing terrible anguish and misery for millions of people, for many reasons:

* Global trade & Commerce is on a downward spiral declining very fast.

* Companies around the world shutting down and laying off hundreds of thousands of people.

* A scarcity of good paying Jobs

* A scarcity of Medical care, Hospitals and Medical providers 

* The cost of Living conditions rapidly worsening day by day 

* Food prices soaring with Global hunger and Famine on the increase.

* Crime and Corruption very fast Accelerating all over the world

* The Breakdown of the family and people having No more Natural Affection towards each other anymore!

ALL these things are the pangs of distress as spoken about in the Bible. 

IT PROMISES TO GET WAY, WAY WORSE! 

NOT BETTER BUT ONLY WORSE!

 (Read Matthew 24 verses 21 & 22) 

 (Read Mark 13 verse 19) 

 (Read Daniel 12 verse 1) 

The rider of death through pestilences of the Apocalypse as spoken about in the book of Revelation is riding right now! 

The rider of the Pale Horse. 

 (Read Revelation 6 verse 8) 

After this rider finishes riding, what follows mankind is MUCH MUCH WORSE than what any of us is going through presently.:

" THE GREAT TRIBULATION "

Do you know what is the Great Tribulation is all about? 

Jesus, fortold that those living in the last days of the Apocalypse will all come to experience The Scariest time ever to befall mankind. 

The Bible says if the days of 

The Great Tribulation was not cut short, no living thing on earth would survive!

 The Great Tribulation is coming VERY VERY FAST, are you prepared for it? 

Do you know how to deal with it? 

Remember This is NOT the End of the world yet.

 What follows next : 

Is: GOD'S day of Judgement on the Wicked Surviving The Great Tribulation :

" ARMAGEDDON !"

Very Scary times ahead for all mankind. 

Life as we have known it to be in years gone by, is no longer. 

 (Read Isaiah 13 verse 9) 

 (Read 2 Peter 3 verse 12) 

 (Read Zephania 1 verse 18) 

 (Read 2 Thessalonians 1 verses 6 – 10) 

Life is going to get much much worse, especially for the those not observing and living closely by GOD'S commands – leading up to the FINAL Judgement Day on all the wicked: ARMEGGEDON

i am very concerned that we will run out of time to take action on saving the planet from climate change and as of 2024 in the next election i cannot tell you who to vote for but all i can do is to educate how democrats keep us in the paris climate agreement and republican candidates like former president donald j trump has pulled us out of the paris climate agreement and he does not believe in climate change and while president biden has put us back in the paris climate agreement and that is good but i am concerned that if we run out of time to act on climate change and that increased hurricanes will only get worse and more tornadoes will hit out cities and towns on in our nation and across our planet and we will only see less rain and increasing droughts and fires and i am concerned about endangered species like the bees and others that if we lose the bees that we will only lose the food supply and we could become extinct. please take action on the enviornment please pick up plastic and litter and wear gloves and please recycle. thanks so much for your support. from josh walker

marcd August 4, 2021 at 4:31 am

Well, I call this concept suspicious. There has always been extreme weather throughout history, so connecting specific events to climate change is not valid. But of course if climate change is part of your ideology, you naturally dismiss anything that does not fit.

J J August 11, 2021 at 12:28 am

The explaination to link global warming to extreme weather is very week. It is true warming air can hold more moisture, which causes extreme floodings, how can it be linked to extreme draught or cold? Also, from a different point of view, aren't extreme weather like heavy rain storm and hurricanes the earth's powerful feed back on temperature to bring heat away from earth, and hence preventing "global warming"? It appears the main causes to climate change is the changes of earth's evaporation regime, from land and ocean, nothing to do with CO2.

Livetree September 17, 2021 at 1:32 pm

How will countries that are only responsible for a nominal amount of emissions be the most impacted by climate change? How can those nations be helped to alleviate those nations who are most impacted? #Livetree #climatechange
