Explore how heat waves affect the body, what levels of extreme heat we can survive, and what you can do to manage high temperatures. -- In many parts of the world heat waves are happening more often with greater intensity and for longer durations. By 2050, Earth’s mid-latitudes could be experiencing extreme heat between 90 and 180 days a year, with tropical regions enduring even more. So how hot is too hot, and what can people do to handle the heat Carolyn Beans digs into how heat waves affect your body.

I love TED-ed but this video has so many things going wrong with it. Debuting a heat wave related video at the end of Oct is just poor timing. Using Texas as the example state to suffer the wraith of climate change reveals an obvious Geo-political narrative which is poor taste. And this comment is coming from a registered DEM from CA. Lastly, this video has been all about scare tactics without any recommended solution to a prediction of the servility of extreme climate. What is actual point of this video How is striking fear of an impending doom educational

If we want to put a stop to rising temperatures we need to reduce carbon emissions and other dangerous gases for our ozone layer. We need to invest in the long run and heal our planets atmosphere but sadly that's kind of impossible because of greedy corporations and politicians. The biggest producer of carbon emissions is China and then the US

The most important thing to understand is that the common person cannot stop it only make it worse. Consumers use the energy heat producing factories produce. If we actually want a difference, we need to figure out alternatives and lobby for bans on these heat producing sources.

People are you know what. I am sick of humans, screw the future if this keeps happening. It doesn’t matter now; let’s all enjoy this moment while it lasts. This world is full of it. But I guess I am no better from y’all. Oh, insignificant me GOD IS REALLY DEAD!

Turning the AC off in one part of the day to just turn it back on later in the same day uses more energy then just leaving it on. 3-4 box/ceiling/stand up fans uses the equivalent of a 5k btu window A/C unit because they are used much more through the day and night.

I feel so bad for the postal workers such as ups or FedEx in this weather. Plz leave out iced water or electrolyte drinks for them in the summer. Guys I was wondering if any tips on leaving out cold drinks for these workers but I live in an apt

I'm so happy. Many said it couldn't be done but we are now well on our way to 1. 5 degrees above preindustrial. Keep working hard everyone. I believe we can achieve 2 or even 3 degrees by 2100 if we all stay the course.

This summer we had two 3-weeks long heatwaves with temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees every day. It was terrible, since I don't have AC. I am starting to fear summers. And 2050 is not that distant future anymore

Why would an airplane reduce its weight limits to take off
An aircraft has performs better in warmer ambient air temperature. A turbine engine would generate more thrust and the wings would generate more lift.

I'm guessing the reason why a lot of the politicians refuse to acknowledge or pay attention to this kind of temperature change is because they're lining their pockets somehow

In Iraq the temperature in summer is always above 45C and with 12 hours a day without air conditioning the situation is unbearable and even winter has become colder than before

Too hot is the damn office I work in. People complain its too cold, turn the heating on while wearing a t-shirt and the proceed to eat an ice cream to cool down.

5: 24. My respect to you Ted-ed. The bottle the person has water from was not plastic. They added a sound to show it was glass or even better metal. Love the details
reply

Thanks for those incredible video! The attention to details, the narration, and even the soundtrack are all on point for me in this one

You know how bad the heat gotta be for someone to go back in time and drag their past self out of bed to teach them something.

It's 80 degrees in Wisconsin at the end of October. It hasn't been this consistently warm this late in the year ever in my life.

When it gets hot here in Iowa, we open up cooling stations and the bus system in the capital offers free rides to said stations

School being off for a heat day seems like it would never happen it was 110 where I live and they still had to go to school.
reply

We are screwed. the reason is simple. As a whole, we change too slowly to reverse this trap set by our own greed.
