  1. I really don't understand scientifically how the temperature on earth is uneven. The height of the sun does not differ from any surface where the heat source is

  2. Humans aren't built for extreme heat endurance with or without water and the lungs fill with hot air and makes the chest heavier then usual unlike wild animals they can tolerate it longer with water but still need to cool off too

  3. My daughter and I trek thru Spain and Italy just ended a couple of days ago. We were at that very fountain in Rome, took pics, and watched people drinking the water and filling their bottles. Although I stayed in my hotel during the day because it was so hot, I had no idea that the heat was uncharacteristic of that region. I'm back in Portugal, in Porto, and it's a pleasant 73F. But thousands have died from the heatwave. The world is increasingly a scary place to be. Nowhere feels safe. Makes me so sad.

  4. In Denmark its been 28 degrees, it might not sound much, but concidering it's a Nordic country where this time a years it's normally 15-19 degrees if we are lucky. Global warming is beginning to show itself for sure!

  5. Imagine this being the new norm for Europe. Having lots of pool theme parks, lots of air conditioning, lots of vacationing on the beaches and lakes and oceans, lots of experience of feeling the weather that would have to change the situation in life altering living.

  6. just wanted to listen the song, not some news report about heat waves ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ bruh.

  7. These people are responsible themselves . They are doing global warming ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒก๐Ÿ”ฅ. When will they understand?????๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜”
