  2. They should get air conditioner…. hot days arent short anymore like tradition😅… keep hydrated…gbu

  3. Big Oil knew about Global warming in the late 1960s and censored their scientists from saying anything about it. Also created a smear campaign against it.

  10. No, this is not true. There is no climate change. We must believe in our prophet, the magician that ends all wars in 24 hours.

  11. Born and raised in Trinidad and the hottest I've ever experienced is 38°C. Don't know why some Europeans complain about the Caribbean being so hot 😅

  13. Yeap … there is no climate change, no global warming … everyone keep on walking and look the other way :))). Just wait and see when there are going to be 50 degrees Celsius temperatures announced around the place. Just a personal opinion, don't throw stones at me :))). Peace to all.

  17. I made the trek East from Sidi Ifni in Morocco to the Sahara in July — it was bloody hot at 50°C. That was 45 years ago. Magic CO2!

    Greta Thunberg the paid child actress is now, age 22, worth over $1,000,000, after taxes! al-Gore's Carbon Cap & Trade Scheme (legal name) syndicate paid $4,000,000 for her UN spaz show.

  18. This heat is expected time of this year in central and southern Spain. Its nothing new. French news being alarmist with the smallest of things. Perhaps they should report more on Macrons antics and shady behaviours

  20. ?They had these temperatures in the 1960s. People saying humans are warming the planet? What a lot of nonsense.

  21. Yesterday they show on spanish news some young couple running in the heatwave.
    Of course they free to run if they want to. But health warning is avoid sports in heatwave.😮

  26. We should make a world treatie to put a disk in front of the sun to drop the temperature
    I heard if we put a disk 35000km from earth it would block the sun 24 hours a day everywhere
    I think the disk would have to be 600km if the moon is 6000km wide and is 384000km from earth

    The universe is ours and we are meant to use it to fix our problems

  27. Nowadays extreme climate changes are happening in many areas all over the world. It is important to make worldwide programs to sort out these devastating troubles caused
    by environmental disasters.

  28. Spain is a hot country, that's why so many flock there to escape the cold. The problem is that only 33% of Spanish households have access to AC because of gov't restrictions and 'green' policies. People face hotter temps in Vegas for far longer, with no problems.

  29. That 46C claim has been debunked. It was a false reading (see Olive Press report). The actual temperature at that location (Huelva) was 36C.
    It's false, unchecked claims like this – reported as fact by media outlets around the world without verification – that contribute to belief in "climate change". The outlets that report these bogus claims never apologise for getting it wrong.
