- Singapore is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the world - with maximum daily temperatures predicted to reach 35-37 degrees Celsius by year 2100. As the world gears up to slash global emissions after the alarming report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in October 2018, we explore how, beyond climate change, the urban heat island effect spells trouble for future Singapore.

Singapore is already at the center of the equator so it's freakin hot in the first place + pollution + global warming + no forests on that small island. Welps your neighbours are suffering too dw
"Climate change may expose 1.5 billion people in South Asia to potentially lethal heat and humidity in the near future"

And Indonesia always be the factory of haze , they burnt their forest
@@cheemsdoge977 you mean Malaysia and Singapore corporate that run coal mining and crude palm oil?
Hengky Larc En Ciel nope , but Indonesia always create haze
Water is good storage of heat so world got hot a island country also got hotter.
From what I see from the video, it's the result of
1. Singapore is located near the equator.
2. Building trapping heat.
3. Heat generated by Aircon.
But aircon doesn't produce heat... It simply transfer the heat though
@@potatoes402 Aircon transfers the heat & also produce heat, aircon uses electricity right? It is converted into mechanical energy + waste heat energy.
@@potatoes402 Basically it uses electricity and like every energy when consumed or transformed, produces waste heat.
@@Zyleace i know that almost everything produce heat if you want to be technical. What im saying is, that little heat that you guys keep mentioning isn't really the main factor of global warming or something. Heck im sure my laptop generate more "extra" heat than aircon. Electric stove and other electronic stuff also produce heat more than an aircon does. Its the way it moves the extra heat to atmosphere that aircon is a problem rather than the heat it generates itself.
@@potatoes402 climate Change is Not due to air cons. It is due to emitted co2 , Methan and other greenhousegases. The Problem with air cons is the heat inside of the building gets transported outside increasing the city heat Island effect.
The "breeze" in singapore is literally hot air.
Same Here in the Philippines, That;s what happens when your country is surrounded by bodies of water, Only difference is when it gets too hot here, it gets cloudy, which eventually lead to wet season.
You can also call it the anti-freeze
Exactly
Singapore: Heating up faster 2x
Philippines: First time?
ahaha
Hahaha. 😂😂
tapos wala pang aircon ..

Indonesia is survivable. It does get very hot tho
Yes I live in Jakarta too & I can clarify that I always think that Singapore is sometimes hotter than Jakarta, I first thought this was just my imagination but after seeing this video, it confirmed my suspicion. Interesting findings!
See there’s a huge paradox here: build high rises, which take up less space and are generally better for land use, less invasive for green areas. Urban sprawl destroys wild areas and is terrible land use. But then high rises can destroy underground aquifers and generate a lot of heat and overpopulation. Real head scratcher right there.
It's like you want to be more efficient, but not too efficient.
The answer is urban sprawl. That way humans have a better quality of life.
Arcsecant there’s no quality of life if the air is polluted as all hell due to burning wild land to build more houses though. I live in a city with a massive urban sprawl problem and believe me, unmanaged urban sprawl does not always equal to quality or life. It’s not really one or the other, there’s gotta be a balance between the two models.
The only way I see is that to control population growth

I try to being my own shopping bag as much as I can. And also re-using & recycle... just hope this little bit can help and that the next generation can still have a chance to live in a more "livable" SG/earth.
Every bit helps :)

everyone did
@@keonie_ i use the aircorn all night
Revisiting this in 2023 where temperatures reached record levels in Singapore and realised that within the past 4 years nothing substantial was put into place to tackle this. We are just building and building without any recourse. Or the strategies in place have yet to prove effective in any way.
Personally, I think proper urban planning is very important. Where I stay, we used to have strong breeze coming into our unit or estate but since the opposite land had been built up, there's barely any breeze.

Feel that the biggest contributors are schools & shopping malls in Singapore, their aircons usually are put at 19-20 degrees!! We need to save ourselves...

Johannes Wöhler Why not try to fix our planet instead of escaping from our problems?
The planet needs no fixing. It will heal itself. The one needs fixing are people. Having lots of kids just because people can afford? Earth's resources can only support so much. Deforestation to make way for giant enterprise to feed the ever growing population? That's another one. And that's just two among the myriads of problem human is facing today. Oh, I forgot, majority of the greedy filthy rich people doesn't even care. So I guess we'll just have to wait until mum earth will one day decide to ditch us all at once. Maybe she waiting that huge asteroid to wipe us all sacrificing earth itself as well lmao.

The biggest culprits for the climate change dont come from homes, but from commercial buildings, hotels and shopping malls, If you ever work in those places you will know why. Dont even know how many billions of electricity they wasted on unneeded lights and super cold air con areas that you can keep a polar bear happy in.
Anyway, the lesson learned from this video is that if you live at the hight level, dont install a air con, as your electricity bills will be higher then the rest.
I wonder when your ah gongs can start thinking right and allow solar panels to be installed individual houses to cut down on power station electricity use.
These aircons actually don't do much to actually affect climate change since all they really do is swap out heat in a small area. Pollution from power is a little lower since SG primarily uses natural gas for power. Basically, SG is at the mercy of just how much greenhouse gas the rest of the world pumps out.
Man the biggest culprits are human Hunger for urbanization.
@@pawala7 You need to learn more about Urban Heat Island effect. More than a dozen cities of India now, including New Delhi, experience 5-8 degree Celsius higher temperatures as compared to 10 sq Km outside the city limits. This happens only during the summers. Take a guess why winters don't see any significant temperature differences in these neighbourhood places.
@@DEVESHPANDEY23 prolly cuz the high rises cuts down the air n traps the heat... doesnt mean that the actual weather hampers it more like the high rises around traps the heat inwards... has nothing to do with aircons...
manila is hotter cuz lack of wind cutting thru cuz the high rises blocks it... so the heat gets trapped with in....u go just outside of it u feel a major difference
In many places in the US. The wealthy people tend to live at the top anyways, would it not be the same for singapore?
As a Malaysian that often visit Singapore when I was younger, I do feel concerned for my neighbouring country.
It is mostly urban landscapes and filled with pollutions. What makes it worse is that Singapore is located on the equator, which is crazy hot you guys. Malaysia is densely populated with trees yet it still feels hot. I notice the difference every time I arrive back in Malaysia.
Good to know that there is a documentary covering about the rising temperature.
Not hot when your area is covered naturally by trees.
I studied in UIA, just 4km from Batu Caves. Even so, the difference in temperature is huge.
I would instantly feel chilled when entering UIA area.

It literally is the "Heat Island" effect XD. Singapore just took the stereotype to the next level! Jokes aside, its just too many buildings clustered together in a warm tropical island. The level of heat produced and accumulated is astounding! The use of cooling systems just increases ambient heat further! The glass on the building doesn't help - ask the Japanese about it, they are changing it to low reflective glass!
That's why it's called the Red Dot
I see what you did there.
Why not holo? XD
What red dot?
@@AkhilSinghKhyalia Singapore is located on a very small island and is independent. Maybe go to Google Maps and see for yourself what it has to offer.
I have been to Singapore but I just didn't knew that it was also called the red dot.
So as always, the country's message to its people is that we as individual citizens have to make sacrifices that do not make much difference, while they do not have solutions to really tackle the rising temperature. And also big office buildings and malls continue to contribute to most of the heat with their insanely cold air conditioners and heat generating building designs.
I remember everytime I was released from school I would almost melt away in the scorching afternoon heat when I had to walk a 5-10 mins walk to the mrt station in my uncomfortable uniform.
At least you did not wear Malaysia's school uniform (Baju Kurung and Tudung) to school. No one can relate us

Nope, the airconditioner will require more energy because the whole family is at home and the aircon will release more heat.

1 good reason to choose a lower floor HDB / BTO flat.
Lvl 3 for me
What okey my house is 40th storey high thhough
I thought that it is suppose to be cooler at higher level due to stronger winds? Also take note thay lower floor tend to be more susceptible to mosquitos.
lxy315lxy hot air rises! So I suppose that the higher vents would take in the hot air from below.
Also higher floors may receive more wind only if they’re unblocked (but such cases are getting rarer with the increase in the number of taller hdbs being built). Otherwise, the only wind you get is hot wind since the heat gets trapped by the buildings
as a person who had stayed on the ground floor of hdb for 18 years and occasionally visit my aunt who live on the 38th floor of another hdb, uhm nope... It's cooler on top

Once upon a time, there were such things as passive cooling techniques. Sadly, very few arhitects, engineers and urban planners use these nowadays.
First reduce the over airconditioning in public buses
And underground MRTs
nooooooo I depend on the air con on bus for after school
And some shopping malls especially the movie theatre and kopitiam of some malls are too cold
No way.the buses are always crowded..the air con gives us respite from the smells and heat
Which is more efficient 10 car with 10-12 people with air conditioning or 5 buses with 5-7 air conditioning

3:47 basically Singapore in a nutshell
I live in a inland town in Sarawak, about the same latitude as Singapore. It was December last year(2019) i visited Singapore, the heat is my first impression about Singapore. Despite frequent rain, sometimes a few huge downpour a day that floods the pathways, the streets will heat up within an hour or two like there was no rain at all. The one week stay there was really nice but the heat is rather disturbing.
i was in singapore from December 18 - 27, it was freaking hot there man...

3:19 that's a good tip to recommend to live on the ground floor. It saves you a lot of money from paying electric bills and you can get out easily.
I have lived in the middle of the Thar desert in Rajasthan,India for over two years. Summer tempertaures used to reach 48 to 50 degrees in the open. To survive in such extreme temperatures you must follow the native folk, wear large turbans, buildings are made of local sandstone and they conserve every bit of water. Singapore gets pampered by its prosperity. I recall a much laid back Singapore with its attap roofed houses, cool kampongs, before high rise buildings came with heavily paved roads and pollution from overuse of fossil fuel. Singapore cannot go back to that village life. But it can stop reckless urban development now itself. Global warming is a reality for Singapore. The heated up sea is rising and will reclaim its shores soon.
Omg the visuals r really good explaining

CNY season
In Germany where I am born, houses are insulated to not waste heat energy. They have double pane thermo-insulating windows, and thick insulation materials inside the walls.
In Singapore we need to keep the heat out, but it is the same. We need to keep the heat out to safe energy and pollution. But the windows are made with thin glass single pane, even for expensive condos, the walls thin. That is where it all starts.
Then the greens. You may say Singapore is so green. Yes, it i. But about 15 - 10 years ago I saw massive pruning everywhere. At least in my area that has contributed a lot to heat up the concrete of houses and roads. The climate has become remarkable hotter, in particular at night.
While in daytime the temperatures may be similar, yet the nights in Malaysia just 100 km to the north are remarkably cooler, nicer. Or at least they feel cooler.
I can relate to this as I was staying in a apartment at ground level and the high rise next to us used to flush it's underground cooling systems at street level directly into our bedrooms necessitating greater use of air conditioning system in USA, during summer.
I only on my air con when I sleep and it's usually at like 26 - 27 degrees celcius and I also barely use the fan in the living room ya'll can just like start by slowly making your aircon hotter and hotter until you reach around 24 - 25 degrees and also try using your fan instead of air con
also you can try to only on the air con for 30 min to cool the room then use fan for the rest

Also, we utilise too much electricity for air cond and since we rely on fossil fuel, i think it helps contribute to the heat up
It’s impossible that Singapore was 24 degrees Celsius in the 1950s. It’s right on the equator, where temperature is constant without hardly any seasonal variations!
0:21 "…we also get higher humidity" Yeah, that's a problem for me as I'm a vintage PC collector, as the moisture can penetrate into LCD panels and damage them over time.

GUYS THE THUMBNAIL WAS MY HOME OMGOMGOMG!!!
minor correction ac condensers do not suck in air or heat. they all try to eject as much heat as possible, however, the external air is assumed to be a heat sink and of course the higher the temperatures the more inefficiently the refrigeration cycle is. there are some benefits that might gain by going to a central air conditioning for the building
Guy: it's so hot!
Singaooreans: first time?
Philippines: old enough?
It's so puzzling that in Hong Kong and Singapore people are infinitely obsessed with air conditioning. Due to the amount of humidity and the amount of heat, it is actually feasible and quite effective to use a fan instead. By evaporating the humidity which condenses on someone's body, that actually produces a cooling effect which is already sufficient for someone's needs in a small room
Hongkong has winter season tho
I would argue that humidity is why aircon is much more effective, air conditioners can reduce the humidity in the room alongside the temperature. If you’re using a fan in high humidity and heat, the fan just blows hot and humid air at you which doesn’t do much to evaporate your sweat
Great that you rise this problem. 👍
in Singapore AC is everywhere. At first I'm amazed but now I'm frightened about its energy consumptions
This heat trapped effect is also what causes London to be warmer than the surrounding areas.
Ooh really, I guess 25 degree celcius is the hottest of London ever have, is I'm wrong ?

Government should really stop building more HDB Flats
Edit: or maybe think of other ways to overcome population growth
Then they would have to deal with increasing population. But if they neglect the population growth than they would have to deal with global warming because of high rise buildings. So its a lose-lose situation right here.
Bro, HDB or Hi-Rise builidng are the ones that save more SPACE for a small country like singapore ! It is the LANDED housing that are wasting so much space ! Just a few hundreds landed housing area are already more than enough to equal to a few THOUSAND HDB homes.
