Same amount of people that voted for Trump this out punishment u think?????
Another scare tactic from a government sponsored propaganda network.
I'm just thankful for every day that is under 91 here on the gulf coast.
We call this summer time
Thanks you NBC. Its called summer. Happens every year….for millions of years….
I'm glad more climate change deniers are marginalized to the YouTube and Twitter comments sections. As Boomers die out, the climate denial will slowly go with them.
Ya it’s called summer . Won’t stop the msm to say global warming again and again! When it cold in the winter they will say it’s global warming again. Just part of it. Mark my words
people are so glued to their phones and social media they cant tell what the weather is out there 😆
It is summer and it is hot out nothing more.
Thanks global warming, and thanks to everyone who contributes.
Just another story in a planned campaign to highlight weather and climate issues like wildfires, heat waves, and other normal things, so they can regulate aka tax you for the "weather crisis". Just watch all the main stream channels in the next couple months, nothing has actually changed other than them crying wolf to bring in an agenda again.
Yeah, it's called summertime. It happens every year.
Heat alert in the middle of summer? Wow!
Meh last summer felt hotter
Even if the media doesn't know what to do, the kids do
Baby it's hot out there, Bennet n Lady GaGa.
Holy crap you mean to tell me it’s summer.
Why do you have to say underserved community just because they're black.
I live in Florida and the temp and humidity are the same as they have been for 40 years so far maybe ours is a micro climate why not report on how aur bosses are selling our strategic oil supply to CHINA?????
Biden had like 6 shots and got sick what happened to if you get a shot you won't get covid how many thousands lost their jobs because they were smart?
NBC keeps pumping out climate change propaganda. Got to keep peasants scared so they can control and rule over us. Not happening.
It’s amazing how this happens every 12 months.
How are gas prices being blamed on Russia's actions?
How come a HERO that saved countless lives is not getting a medal??
Your games are wearing thin 😂😂😂😂
EVERY YEAR IS “THE SUMMER OF SOMETHING DEADLY” ON THE NEWS
I noticed in 2006 or 2007 with the “summer of shark attacks” and EVERY YEAR HAS BEEN EBOLA, ZIKA, CVID, HEAT, COPS, TRUMP, TERRORISTS, HURRICANES, TORNADOES, FOREST FIRES etc….
republicans and conservatives claim the media is scaring people about climate change, but when they talk about the heat look at what they show. kids playing. well, when i go outside in the heat, i don't see any kids or people having fun. everybody's inside. they shot this b-roll in the spring and they play it in the summer. media is bullshitting you folks into thinking the heat is a-okay.
The young people will suffer the most because between the earths lungs the Amazon rain forest and it’s deforestation plus climate change , it will be the end days for all organisms including human beings on earth . The end days are coming . Like the dinosaur the human will be extinct.
If Joe Biden didn't cause Fuel price astronomical increases this temperature could be coped with, but because I'd Biden policies that caused RECORD HIGH FUEL PRICES, this will be very costly to the average American people, Thank You Joe Biden and his dumbocraptic Transition Policies.
The temperatures do appear to be increasing very gradually by about 1-2 degrees F every several years.
I remember landscaping while attending college back in the 90s and we would routinely have temps of 98-103 degrees in July and August. This is not new…It happened in the 80s too. They are acting like the sky is falling. I feel like they make everything apocalyptic now. It's like when it snows and people all rush out to the store like they'll be trapped for weeks.
Heat wave? Climate change. Blizzard? Climate change. -50F? Climate change. Tornado? Climate change. Lightning? Climate change. Dry spell? Climate change.
The sane people in the bunch refer to those fluctuations in the climate as, weather aaaaaand… wait for it…. seasons. 😂
21 states are (NEARING) record highs. Well by golly, nearing and setting new record highs are two completely different things such as, the speed limit is 70 and you're doing 65. No reasonable cop would pull you over to tell you you're NEARING the speed limit so you better slow down. 😑
OMG imagine how nasty that pool water is all i could think… Glad I got my own 😂
Death toll climbing to 3. LOL
This is Trump’s fault! 🤪
City folk…
Always thinking they are the concerned citizens lmao.
It's been 95 for months and its rained every day in florida, it's pretty nice
It's so HOT that imma stand in a hot waiting line to get into a pool…. NO THANKS! I'll go somewhere with no line, iced drinks, and ac. That line looked worst than an amusement park.
Oh, tell us in ain’t so!!! Heat waves in July? Can’t be happening. How will we ever get through this. How did our ancestors do it with no AC, no water bottles, no ice cream stands, no swimming pools!!!!! They did, imagine that.
So is east coast Canada. Day 4 of this 40c degrees ugh!
Does anyone know the name of the news guy??
$1 water bottle; best deal around and helping people!
It just gets hotter and hotter every summer, here in Georgia I can't even stay outside for more than 10 mins even with shade.
I love seeing black lifeguards.
Y que mas da que se pongan aceite
