Life at 122 °F: Surviving in the Hottest Places on Earth | Free Documentary

the

hottest

day ever recorded in the Sydney Basin 49° the number of days above 50° has doubled since the 1980s thanks for letting us in it's hot outside and you're sitting in the air conditioning I think this year it was around 50 6 but It feels like I'm 60 years old. The last 7 years have been the

hottest

ever recorded worldwide. Holy. In fact, I was 8 months pregnant on the day of the fire this year. BBC crews filmed around the world. We are digging 35 feet and we fear there will be injustice around the climate. change the poorest people will be more affected than the rich people we wanted to show how extreme heat is changing people's lives and the irony is that it is the rich people who pollute the most;

We are told to prepare for the catastrophic conditions to which temperatures will rise. The 40 degrees over the next few days will make conditions even worse at our fireground, although half the sky was filled with smoke it was quite interesting and exciting. I had never seen that with my own eyes before Reon since I first came out, that just happened and then I knew that this is where I want to be during that period of time, the authorities are advising people to evacuate an advancing bushire , but 18-year-old India has decided to stay with her father, an experienced firefighter, have you looked at the front of Yes, how strange it is, what is it to stay and help me?

She is very much like me and very stubborn and there is no chance of her missing out on any of that kind of action. Most of my time was spent on our roof. observing everything, observing the color of the sky, and then, in the afternoon, I caught my first glimpse of the fire approaching over one of the mountains. Australia is experiencing six times as many days above 39° as it did 60 years ago, increasing the risk of bushfires. He was standing. there, looking at everything on fire, thinking it was kind of cool and finally I thought, oh, I need to get off the roof now and start fighting, it was really hot, and I started to worry, dad, for starters, it was a really hot day, so that made the fire I think it was much more aggressive oh no, when I realized the fire hose had holes in it I thought we were going to lose the house fire it was too intense and out of my control if India had been within reach of the heard at that moment I wanted her to go into that fire shelter and give up.

Climate change is over, Nigeria is becoming fertile, our land is becoming desert. Central Nigeria is becoming hotter and drier, making the task of digging wells more important and even more difficult. hot season Wells are the main source of clean water for villagers. 14 feet 19 feet. Some households have to walk a long way to get drinking water because the previous well went dry for 4 5 6 7 8. We reached 24 feet at the surface. The air temperature was around 43° our equipment tried to measure the heat at the bottom of the world, it was so hot and humid that our equipment failed, oh kangar, it became very intense.

I just remember the smoke, it felt like it was so hard to breathe. Hello, look at the trun I'm one of the trees near the tanks that caught fire, I took out a bed, everything is bad, no, after 5 hours I just calmed down for a second and it continued to circle around us in Mountain India and sha saved his home. but in their local area of ​​East Skipland more than a million hectares were burnt, hundreds of houses were destroyed and four people died after the fire broke out. I was thinking a lot about the future because I've lived here my whole

life

. completely changed the landscape here for the rest of my

life

, if not forever, scientists analyzed this wildfire season and found that hot, windy days that pose a high risk of wildfires were 30% more likely due to climate change from the amount of damage we have caused.

By not paying attention to the balance of life, it just seems like we don't care about my children and, yes, I think what they will have to face in the future are the terrible wildfires we experienced. during that summer it was unprecedented, we had never seen anything of that ferocity and that scale here before. I'm a climate scientist but I specialize in heat waves, so I study how heat waves have changed over time in the past and in the future and what's causing them. those changes there is irrefutable evidence that Australia's climate has changed Sydney's heat reached dangerous levels today temperatures soared it was the hottest day ever recorded in the Sydney Basin all the world's heat is concentrated in Australia and Penrith was today The hottest place on the planet, the way Sydney's new suburbs were built has created urban hotspots.

Scientists have measured temperatures of 50°. I catch you. Some people think we are amateurs. We like to sit in our towers and focus on our subject areas, but we're not really real. people offer, please, there you go, good girl, don't hit her. I have two young children and it really bothers me that the world they are experiencing now is very different than mine when we finally bought our first house and moved away. to the northwest part of Sydney, that's what we can afford, there are a lot of new developments and because they are trying to attract more people to the city, all the houses are much closer together, there is less greener space.

I have experienced 47°C days and that was awful, it was atrocious. The only way to stay cool in Western Sydney was to have the air conditioning running all day and that was a really difficult thing for me. Australia is one of the largest emitters of CO2 per capita in the world as we approach the Christmas period it is really taking its toll. We have 46 predictions for Adelaide. 44th for Melbourne. They would be new records for December. Girls, you got some nice loot from Santa. What else is here? It is certainly true. that the poorest nations and the poorest communities will suffer the most from the impacts of climate change, at least we have the resources to maybe turn on the air conditioning during a heat wave or move somewhere away from the wildfires, wow, I have a shiny water bottle, there is an injustice around climate change certainly that the poorest will be affected more than the rich your own frozen jewels and you know, the irony is that it is the rich who are polluting the most.

Heaven is above and hell is below we are digging reach 35 feet and we are afraid good sound to get where the water there is a sign of water yes you can see yes you can see look we are already at the stor sand stud we see some sand near the water yes water how deep is the well the depth is 27 feet 27 feet 27 feet Wow, how deep a generation ago this region looked very different with fertile fields, orchards and forests, today people have to find other ways to make a living from the land, as the Middle East is warming twice as fast as the rest. in the world this land has been farmed by shik kum's family for hundreds of years now extreme heat and a historic drought threaten its future after years of poor harvests shak's farm is losing money he has used his savings to plant wheat and barley for one more year Hoping that the harvest will be successful this time, the shik is under pressure from his family to sell his farm.

If this crop fails, you may have to avoid it. Iraq's wealthy neighbor, Kuwait, has officially recorded 12 days of 50° or higher this year. I think there is a common misconception. that there is the possibility to split your time between several countries if you wish, come on Levi, come on, that has never been my reality, good boy, you are so humid today, so we are supposed to be able to just leave when it gets too hot it really isn't possible, come on L Asia Al shamur is a Kuwaiti social media influencer who posts regular updates to her 2.5 million followers, come on Lea, let's stay in the shadows today, it's usually too much.

I like to start my days. Let's go walk the dog, wow, it's yours now, no it's not gross, we have to do it really early so my little fur baby can walk on the floor without getting burned, are those your paws? Okay, you're okay, come on, I think it was that way. 56 this year supposedly how it came but it feels like 60 my glasses slipping off my face it sucks the life out of you it's like that and then that's it you're like that that's the closest I can come to describing the dry heat of 56° when it's hot and humidity is a little more, but you also shrink a little, only actions can really show you what heat feels like, wait, wait, we have to look both ways.

The heat impacts your life in ways you don't necessarily anticipate today, it makes things that are supposed to last a minute last an hour, okay, yeah, let's sit down, my love, you want the air conditioning, one of the things I wasn't anticipating when I would finally have kids. Now I had this little being that needed to be protected from the sun. Well, let's start because he had rear-facing car seats, the air conditioning never actually touched his seat, so we would have to be prepared if I were going out with him. Time for frozen yogurt. I think I'll buy strawberries online and we'd start the car 30 minutes before a ride.

I would place the ice packs on his seat to cool him down before I could. we put him in it and then we had a tube that would run from the front air conditioning in the front seat to the back seat just to make sure that we could get him enough air conditioning in a rear facing car seat and that's the reality for everyone. parents here They push the door, push, push, do you want to try the a it's like mango this is the spiciest thing I've ever seen Kuwait delicious M looks like a mountain it's like a small mountain it's getting to the point where it's really unbearable and I feel like everything about living here is hostile, sometimes you said you like to swim inside or outside, more inside, yes, yes, I worry that the only life my children have known has been in scorching heat, they want to be children and go to the playground and I'll be begging to go all day and then we'll finally break down and take them and it'll be so unbearable that they'll be begging to go home and that's why it's hard all over the world dangerous Urban heat is on the rise is defined As three or more days well above the summer average incidents have tripled since the 1980s Julio Buena Cara is a paramedic in Mexicali, on the US-Mexico border, this summer Mexicali experienced a heat wave of 40 days above 46° for foreign speech, due to extreme heat and water. scarcity affects entire region this used to be the fertile Colorado River delta land of the Kapa tribe now partly due to climate change the rivers have dried up and temperatures can reach 52° the Colorado River runs from the US to Mexico dams and canals in the US mean that only 10% of the river reaches south of the border.

Climate change has lowered the levels in both countries, but only in Mexico does the river dry up completely. The US government says it is meeting its water commitments to Mexico. The Kapa tribe disagrees. Another hot, dry summer ahead Antonia fears her mother is running out of time in a remote mining town on the outskirts of the Sahara town and the other miners start work before dawn and can only continue for a few hours before it gets too hot outside. Recurrent drought means there are fewer plants for animals to graze. Shake fears the worst for his crops this year.

The Iraqi summer has seen 26 days above 50° for a third of farmers in Al Shafa. They sold out and moved to the cities. The land here is in demand by oil companies. The shik's eldest son began to work in the nearest city. Diania. Her job is to sell farmland. When I was a child, my grandmother used to tell me that we lived here. There is always this collective conscious knowledge that is passed down from generation to generation. What you do to the

earth

, you do to yourselves. That's how it was proposed, but since I was a child I have seen changes in ecosystems.

I have seen less water. I have seen trees struggling with drought and heat anxiety and if the soil is abused, climate change is a logical consequence. This year, the northwestern US and Canada experienced an unprecedented heat event, a large high pressure dome has built over this part of the North American PA. Trapping the air in place, scientists later calculated the deadly heat. The Dome would have been impossible without climate change. Today was the hottest day in much of British Columbia and this weekend could break temperature records across the province. The hottest place of all was a town called Lon in British Columbia a new all-time record of 49.5°C at 121°F the next day Lon was engulfed by a wildfire holy, those just disappeared oh my god holy , that's one the whole town will be gone in 24 hours, 90% of the buildings in Lon were destroyed this is Judith and Ross Arts theirhouse they are the former director lost his house this is the Linton Hotel his fire escape remained up as did his chimney the doctor's office the hospital all to the right gone this is the first time Patrick has been I returned home from the fire, so this is 167 IR 17 Road. 25 years we have been working on this property, one board at a time, one of the best memories of each of my six children is this and I don't know if he will continue. to live I thought I lost all my tools oh a drill did it good to see you guys.

I'm pretty sure this one has run out of battery, most of the people who lived in Lon are First Nations Heritage, we're so close now. The indigenous community has been dispersed into temporary accommodation. Patrick's daughter Serena and her family are at a hotel. There's a list on the side of the door that says there are supposed to be like three mixing bowls. Oh yeah, I was going to tell you that you took too many things with you. We had left the house minutes before the house caught fire. We basically left with our clothes on. I was going to cook but I'm really screwed.

I was actually 8 months old the day of the fire, so sweet, Come on, tell me all the time, you're just happy, just happy, I cried with relief when we found out we had a hotel that would accept our pets, we have it secured until October 1st, but every time we renew we still don't know. If we can get it again, Patrick and his wife Tina will stay in a nearby camp with nine other Litt refugees. We were hoping the owner would allow us to stay after October 1st, but they said no because I think it would cost them too much.

There was a lot to keep the water and septic system and everything running even after the fire. I didn't feel homeless. Homeless. Yes, I don't have a house, but I never felt homeless because we were always together. Patrick and I and the babies look at CU we had had. each other, but after yesterday and after the conversation about having to leave before October 1st, I'm like, okay, you know, it hit us, we're homeless, what about my friends? What is Des going to do? What is Mel going to do to earn a living in the desert salt mines? since it has become too difficult for City fadwa h because today he is going to the coastal city of Nadu, okay, spee, spee, spee, spee, spee, forign, spee, spee, Muhammad and his sheep are taking the same train , they can't go far on foot, so they start.

Your journey with a short carriage ride is the starting point of one of the longest trains in the world, up to 2.5 km in length. The freight train carries the iron ore from the mines to the coastal ports. If we do not reduce emissions, the Middle East is heading towards ultra-extreme heat waves of more than 56° in the second half of this century, the best invention in the world. I think we've gotten a little tired of the idea of ​​climate. Instead we've stopped looking at what it means to the individual person look, you can't even feel it now we're looking at things that are quite micro where it's like you have to stop using straws to save the turtles and yourself You have to turn off the lights in your bathroom when you leave the house so I can save a little energy, but all those things are not the big picture, the big picture is what it really means to live here, mom. two chairs and a table two chairs and a table Did the Gulf countries use most of their electricity in the air?

I would say there is absolutely no way to survive here without air conditioning and I think the really worrying thing about this is that you are cooling down your little section. but you're getting hotter outside good job so we're in this horrible cycle of trying to cool down but also making the country even hotter as we go Blue yeah good job and sometimes I worry and it's one of my biggest fears is that my kids are so young right now and these are probably the best days of their lives. Oh wow, in terms of weather, this is probably the coolest it could be if you don't live here and it doesn't affect you every day, you forget it's happening, but it is and it's terrifying looking into the future.

I don't see how much longer we can consider species quite habitable for them to maintain this summer after years of discussions the US government released an additional 43 million cubic meters of water into the Colorado River from its reservoirs to foreign speeches foreign speeches innocence González died 6 weeks after the river returned because my name is India MacDonald I shared some of the images I captured while defending my house from the forest fires in December India lives at home and makes films about her experience. The reason I shared this was simply to show others how bad it is to be in a bushire.

I am worried that this house is not here in another. For 5 years, so many people don't believe climate change is real, so I'm worried about my future and I'm worried that no one will care enough to do anything. People are just pretty as scientists. I know how bad the future looks. how many more heat waves are we going to see and how much hotter those heat waves are going to be, oh my gosh, look at all these charts. I know what that means for our ecosystems. I know what that means for sea level rise and I know it.

What that means for the Great Barrier Reef Dr Sarah Kirk Patrick and her family left Sydney's western suburbs to live in this house while our new home is being built. They are building a more ecological house. I don't have any books yet, there must be a box somewhere. I really have a hard time knowing how bad those impacts will be. I know they're happening, I know they're happening now and I know they're going to get worse and our new brand. The house is going to be amazing because we're going to make it energy efficient and we're going to have a lot of solar panels and a white roof and a lot of insulation and it's going to be oriented the right way.

What plants do you think we have? you should plant in our backyard you want strawberries strawberries I know that we have caused the problems and I know that we also have the key to the solutions grow some chocolate, my mommy, it's okay, you with your mommy, it's okay, this is the first time , Ed, I've never done this before Patrick is preparing to move his family back to Lon in a mobile home. I have relied on humor and hard work my entire life. Oops, this is the next step in the transition back home. My room slides in and out of the wall.

I usually live paycheck to paycheck, this is $1,000 a month, so 15 years to pay this off isn't what we wanted, but we'll be fine. My sense of place vanished in a cloud of smoke on June 30. I'm going to rebuild that. sense of place, so today we are building a house not only for my wife and I, but also for my great-grandchildren, whom I have not yet seen. My plan is to move out of the campground when they have electricity and water connected. I hope to put my RV here and spend the next few years rebuilding my house.

I can put in blood, sweat and tears, but I'm going to need help, honestly, a lot of it is surreal, overwhelming. discouraging but in my heart there is that optimism it is very difficult for my heart to know that everything we are experiencing was the result of our action we can elect people who have the courage to say no, I am not going to continue with the status quo We need to leave the fossil fuels in the ground. We need to invest in homes that are designed to be cool in the summer. Keep us warm in the winter.

I'm not afraid of what's to come right now the sun is setting UNL, but tomorrow the sun will set. upload UNL
