This isn't something I'd thought about in response to global warming but social resilience and communities are so important. This message should be broadcast far and wide.
More than 700 people died in the '95 Chicago heatwave because the mayor was on vacation, and no one else was prepared to make an emergency decision on his behalf. That's infuriating! Currently, I work in IT providing support for varied entities including corporations and U.S. cities. One of the most common and completely avoidable problems we have is people's managers being unavailable to provide authorization for security protocols. If anyone reading this is in position to manage anything of importance, *BE AVAILABLE!* And if you truly can't make yourself available, make sure that there are always backup options for people to make emergency decisions in your absence.
Hello I just want to say that I love your channel and I want to support it so Please , can you talk slower because I'm not a native speaker so please slow it spatially this time I couldn't get anything 🙏
Hey guys! This video had an incredibly deep impact on me, much bigger than if you just stated what is about to happen because of the climate change. The thing that you did differently is just assume the climate will change, and talk about how life *will* be in the future. Well that was incredibly effective. Now I feel like I realize for the first time that our future will be different than our present. It made things a lot more real.
Hey David, I've found a book called 'Great Waves of Change' really helpful in understanding what the future could look like and what we need to do to prepare. You might find it helpfull. Its free online on 'GreatWavesOfChange(dot)com
Its june 2024 and its gone worse and we are experiencing heat waves and drouts,wild fire and sea rising, after these event new problem arive, extreme heat making people go mentaly crazy and its affected to animals, some animal show sign of it, its getting lots wrose, poor people are die of lack of resourses, i hope human will accept and repair this nature damage and survive their breed! I HOPE
I mean, yes this one definitely, but there are so many great channels here. Pretty much all of the PBS digital studios channels put out great stuff regularly.
One of the best ways to both prepare for disasters *AND* build social ties is to join your local area's "CERT" - Community Emergency Response Team. Most cities have them, set up through their local Bureau of Emergency Management (or similar.) You get training for how to handle whatever disaster is probable in your area, and it helps build relationships with your neighbors.
When I lived in Boston, in the mostly black neighborhood of Roxbury, there was a stark difference between the community of the long term residents and the 'community' in low income housing. The older owners and long term renters were both friendly and involved with each other and accross wide backgrounds. Low income housing reaidents, however, came in on a lottery system without regard to their previous community (so long as they were in the catchment area) and there was little or no effort to give them a stake in their new community. In addition, because people were just thrown together, there was little chance or motivation to overcome bias, build community, or even just keep their living areas clean. Affordable housing is necessary, but it needs to come with strong motivation to develop agency and community. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how much money goes into it, the people in these communities will struggle alone to overcome problems that need a community or live in isolated squalor.
I love what you just created with this channel, I'm a spanish speeker I live in Chile (but I'm from Venezuela), and I like your videos so much that I would love to share it with my neighbors, but it dosn't have translation yet, if you need help with the spanish translation let me know.
I would hope so! Resilience on the social level is very important. It seems that it’s too often that infrastructure resilience is the only think cities and governments focus on. Fostering that social network is key for crisis management.
Captain Planet probebaly not people are to individualistic and will probebaly not help each other most people will first rob their neighbors befoare helping them. most people only care about themselfs
Greensburg, KS is another great example of a community coming together to rebuild after a disaster. They built their town better than what it was before, improving the standards for buildings (striving for LEED for all structures), as well as eliminating any deemed not necessary. Sometimes it takes a wake-up call to see what works and what doesn't. And in these cases, it's the layout of the citys and towns. Denser, well-planned out cities that focus on pedestrians first (as well as mass transit) = more interaction with your neighbors
i grew up in southern USA and moved to Croatia after that. i never felt so isolated in my life! there are no social ties here and people are used to moving out and not recontributing to the society. i wanna go back home where it's normal.
as a floridian who has weathered many storms, i have always been blessed with the types of neighborhoods that pull together after a 'natural disaster'.... i just took it for granted that humanity's inner compassion would come forth at such times. i'm saddened to hear how often it doesn't. 😢
Wow - I did not expect this to be about social connections among neighbors. So important to know people's names, and talk with them, build some connection, before the hard times come. Great video.
I really love this channel, thank you for making this I am really loving the passion Talia. Quick thing though, at 3:28 the audio was kinda messed up, it didn't affect how amazing this video was, just wanted to let you know 😊
I feel completely screwed nobody on my block likes each other, I tolerate my neighbors but it feels completely tense sometimes. There’s so many issues that get swept under the rug.
People need social resilience and care for each other; I mean, have ugly seen the how people treat each other in Africa, South America, or even in the Arctic?
Wesley Morgan I think you're on to something crucial that is missing from modern life. While religion has been responsible for some tragedies, it also creates community, and that benefit shouldn't simply be dismissed.
i think it has less to do with religion specifically and more to do with a unifying aspect in the community, that has its own spaces, along with regular meet up intervals.
socks That is an interesting thought, and I’d like to hear what experiences people have with other organizations. In America, only schools, especially school sports, seem to have that same effect on a community. I’ve been a part of many service organizations through schools, sports, non-profits, and government programs, and I’ve seen religious groups have the greatest effectiveness in forming and maintaining a long-term community bond.
Most people live precarious. There is an economic theory that was used in japanese factories where each step in the production line actually should constantly be about to lag behind, constantly at the brink of failure to maximize throughput without breaking under normal conditions. This is also what capitalism is doing to our lives, personal and all industries. Most people don't have savings, are forced to spend the least amount of money on items and houses and food and optimize so that things work under normal conditions. Companies buy cheap from this or that place. There is competitive pressure to do this, so we are a finely balanced global economical system. Once climate change hits it will massively imbalance this system. Compared to the 2008 recession which was only about numbers in computers the food and water price surges and the destruction and migration from catastrophic weather events will really wreak havoc. So your global neighbors are more likely to nuke you than to help you.
Hey! I was taking a look at the "Carbon emissions from TH-cam videos - Hot Mess" doc and was wondering what exactly you purchase to offset the emissions. I noticed that there was a link to a site called "terapass" - is that what Hot Mess uses?
The new host has good potential, but could use better miking, or projection, or both. She has a high-register voice, which needs a little power, volume, and probably a quarter- or half-octave drop. As any chorus director would say "Use your diaphragm!"
Technical comment: You guys seriously need to equalize your sound quality - especially volume. This may be a TH-cam issue - I've notice a LOT of videos have extremely (and obnoxiously) loud intros that then have much lower volume speaking and sound effects as the video starts - or it may be a "oops, I didn't actually learn my video editing software." Regardless, this message is important. It shouldn't be muffled, then painfully loud, then muffled again.
If it's in your power to do so and are (physically/mentally/emotionally) available for it. Regular checking in with them. Helping them stay cool like making sure they have enough water to drink (plus some drinks with electrolytes too - since a lot can be lost in sweat), and learn some heat mitigation stuff like using wet towels (though this really only works well in dry heat), having access to ice (not everyone has ice makers, trays, or places to hold bags of it), fans and A/C are important too (but can overwhelm power grid, like in the Chicago example, so don't just rely on that). But the most important thing is the checking in on them. Because children, elderly, sick, and disabled folks are at higher risk of having a health crisis in higher temps (for a number of reasons - like high temperatures can render medications ineffective or trigger dangerous side effects). If the heat is followed by fire risks, helping neighbors with developing evacuation plans can also be important. (My state's been dealing with many wildfires of late, so yeah.)
“Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You'll see- I'll show you. When the chips are down these, uh, civilized people? They'll eat each other. See I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve.” In so many words, when there's one glass of water for five desperately thirsty people, we'll see how tight community relationships really are.
When most people reference the Bible and quote Genesis 9:11 wherein God promises not to ever again destroy man, there’s a qualifier: - to not destroy man by flood. There’s no mention of not using fire ‘aka’ nuclear war or runaway global warming - both of which, in reality, are man induced. Neither is there mention of not letting man destroy himself, which might violate the tenet of Free Will.
0:50 'squeeze a rock a long time before it turns into a diamond'? That is not how this works. You need carbon to build a diamond. But the elemnts of rocks are mostly oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium etc. There is only one special type of "Rock Groups" so called "carbonates group" that contain enough carbon to be squeezed to a diamond.
exactly! I was looking for a comment like that. There is a part in the middle where it's properly loud, but it should be like this through the whole video. It forces me to focus quite hard to understand everything.
the frequency of natural disasters has not changed over time, please cite your sources please. and YES disasters are bad, summers are hot., then blames the deaths of poor inner city people on "global warming" in Chicago. "would" could" "temperature rise" sensational!
What will be disastrous is when climate refugees swamp into your community and don't integrate - we've seen how large numbers of migrants don't integrate in a number of communities in places like Sweden and Germany. And you are right to laud the benefits of being in and an active part of a community. I would recommend that we cut our feelings to those outside of our community and take care of our own "tribe" first and foremost.
If by "evil" you mean "people who harm others for pleasure or profit", then you're wrong. Treating other people well is smarter and more profitable in the long run, which is why even the most competitive companies or corrupt people do some good things. Otherwise, they just destroy themselves. Not to mention that lesser evils try to usurp the greater ones. What matters more is unity: if people unite in the name of evil, they will triumph. If people unite in the name of good, they will triumph. It's hard for evil to unite because, by definition, it's based on selfishness. In the long run, good has the advantage.
That's a lot of assumptions and jumping to conclusions. How do you know people in that one community checked on each other? Was there at least a survey?
This isn't something I'd thought about in response to global warming but social resilience and communities are so important. This message should be broadcast far and wide.

So all people need to do is helping and caring for each other. What a surprise.

i enslave my neighbors and they help me all i need
Cool. I will recommend this channel to my friends. It's a very important subject

It's just the beginning of summer here in the middle east and the temperature reached 46° C(114° F) and it will keep on rising🔥🔥.
I don't think I've ever even seen any of the other people who live in my apartment building. This is not going to go well for me.
i grew up in southern USA and moved to Croatia after that. i never felt so isolated in my life! there are no social ties here and people are used to moving out and not recontributing to the society. i wanna go back home where it's normal.
as a floridian who has weathered many storms, i have always been blessed with the types of neighborhoods that pull together after a 'natural disaster'....
i just took it for granted that humanity's inner compassion would come forth at such times.
i'm saddened to hear how often it doesn't. 😢
So a little compassion could mean the difference between life and death.... huh
Wow - I did not expect this to be about social connections among neighbors. So important to know people's names, and talk with them, build some connection, before the hard times come. Great video.

There's a weird audio problem. It's really quiet first of all, and sometimes it gets way louder.
People need social resilience and care for each other; I mean, have ugly seen the how people treat each other in Africa, South America, or even in the Arctic?
great video and touched on a subject i feel is applicable to a lot of issues
Hey,we are humans so we need to make strong relationship in our community to survive.
Good thing in live in a village with about 700 people where your neighbours include the people 5-10 houses down.
1:04 Nice dam. This way only the downtown gets flooded.
I would really hope they would.
What a cool video. Loved this one! Perfectly well said!
really a nice channel...
love your videos
0:10 how best to repair?
I would love to cite this when confronting my local government but I still think that your sources would go a long way!
Our references are in the description box below the video -- so, cite away!
I never thought about this aspect of natural disasters. This is interesting.
awesome video, make sure you check your audio levels! there's a huge difference in volume between sections
Soooo, what you're saying is all the introverts die? Well, goodbye then!
A lot of people may hate me for saying this, but religion does a really good job of bringing communities together.
Wesley Morgan I think you're on to something crucial that is missing from modern life. While religion has been responsible for some tragedies, it also creates community, and that benefit shouldn't simply be dismissed.
i think it has less to do with religion specifically and more to do with a unifying aspect in the community, that has its own spaces, along with regular meet up intervals.
There is a lot of literature backing that up. But as others have said, any type of community building works.
socks which... Sounds a lot like a religion. Or maybe a weekly tabletop gaming session.
socks That is an interesting thought, and I’d like to hear what experiences people have with other organizations. In America, only schools, especially school sports, seem to have that same effect on a community. I’ve been a part of many service organizations through schools, sports, non-profits, and government programs, and I’ve seen religious groups have the greatest effectiveness in forming and maintaining a long-term community bond.
That’s crazy englewood was bopping in the 1800s
pft 41c
i went to denmark (australia) and it was 45c
maybe not a good thing as generally the summer high temps is like 30c
Time to stack up on baked bean cans.

Yeah the mixing seemed a bit off.
Beeing stored in a refrigerated truck AFTER you died from a heatwave. Damn.

Summary:
Know your neighbor.
The End
it sometimes feels in the digital age its har to make connections with our neighbors,.
You can't just squeeze a rock hard enough to make diamonds..
0:50 'squeeze a rock a long time before it turns into a diamond'?
That is not how this works. You need carbon to build a diamond. But the elemnts of rocks are mostly oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium etc.

So when rising sea levels drown South Florida I'm gonna die. Cool.
This is great but her voice is mixed kinda quiet
Not meaning to be superficial, but isn't Talia Buford a dead ringer for Kyla Pratt?
Soooo I need to make friends.
her voice is too low compared to the rest of the video..
exactly! I was looking for a comment like that. There is a part in the middle where it's properly loud, but it should be like this through the whole video. It forces me to focus quite hard to understand everything.
Regardless, her voice is better than many TH-camrs
I guess i'll die then
