  • In summer 2017, three monster hurricanes swept in from the Atlantic one after another, shattering storm records and killing hundreds of people. Dive into the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. How can scientists better predict these storms, and what does the 2017 season tell us about the likelihood of similar storms in the future?

      I think you could probably add Frontline to that list. I'm Australian, and from my perspective, most TV in the states is rubbish, there are some exceptions, an occasional gem like, Dopesick or The Newsroom. But ALL of the cable news networks just produce biased, myopic, content, much of it, just misinformation. PBS, like the Australian Broadcasting Commission, in Australia, are far more trustworthy because they are not commercially driven.

    Good afternoon, thank you for sharing this educational video. I am an educator and frequently uses these documentaries in my classroom for Geography classes to educate students about hydrometeorological phenomena like these. I had the wrath of Hurricane Irma and Maria two weeks apart in the Turks and Caicos island archipelago. On the island of Grand Turk, 90% of all telecommunication equipment was damaged, there were no electricity, water, internet for about 6 weeks.

    If it trashes trees, it trashes houses built of wood. Here in England, we have a nursery rhyme that tells you how to avoid getting your house blown down. It basically amounts to telling you to build your house out of bricks and mortar. Who'd a thunk it?

    I remember watching the news half way round the world about this and just not understanding how the infrastructure could be so unprepared for this. It was a couple years after my area got hit by an equally is not stronger cyclone and the damage to the towns was minimal compared to this and the death toll 0. All of our infrastructure was built to government standards to purposefully withstand category 5 cyclones and prevent flooding. I couldn't believe that America didn't even have minimum standards

I remember I visited the US in 2010 & did volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans & the areas we were working on houses it looked like Hurricane Katrina had just hit a few months ago but this was 5 years afterwards!

    People helping people in times of crises. I admire the efforts of the helpers. And that is heartwarming to watch. The feds and the volunteirs. About the causes of the storms: Industrialism is mentioned in this video. Global warming. Maybe one could add cars, planes, the use of gass, oil, vepon testings and real wars different places on earth? What about the launching of rockets and satelites? Maybe those factors also add to the global warming. About the flooding: In the planning for rebuilding houses one could add green roofs: Roofs with grass on are acting both as sponges and insulators. The constructions of the houses would be more exspensive, the houses would need strong structures to hold the weight from wet grass and dirt, but then again it would be easy to have a pleasant temperature inside and you would not need airconditioners during summer😊

We do get extreme cold where we have to watch electricity use or the grid will overload and shut down. Due to inflation, we have more homeless people. So in these extreme cold weather periods, emergency heated shelters are set up.

    Whew! 2017 was a hell of a yr. Here in the BVI we took a beating like we never felt before with Irma. The eye passed directly over us & put a lashing on these islands. Never experienced such devastation before I couldn't see how we would recover from the massive level of damage. We were out of power from Sept right thru till 2018 as the crews worked to get power restored. Volunteer workers from otr islands were brought in the help with the local electricity staff. My power came back in Jan while otr ppl got theirs Feb/Mar.
    Unlike the US, we in the Caribbean build predominantly concrete homes, wooden homes would just be suicidal. Irma however came with a strength unlike anything we ever saw & did significant damage to some homes beyond repair.
    Huge death tolls were expected once the seriousness of the storm was forecasted hence why the UK sent their ship with body bags but they failed to realized how we build our homes.
    Maria came 2 wks later but thankfully we missed a direct hit🙏🏽

      I wonder whether they are not so much reluctant to build further inland, but can't. They may be stuck with the land they live on, having bought it, can't sell it for much, certainly not enough to but land on safer elevations. It just may be that the land further in is not for sale or they can't get planning permission.
      These little islands are often dominated by a few super rich who buy a lot of the land, want to keep it intact as farm or forest, and fall silent when the question of relocating the populous comes up. Of course, the government does feel that it is it's duty to build a nice new town on a hill for the people either.
      Sadly, humanity is socialist to the degree of helping clean up and temporarily giving space to homeless families in a disaster, but not quite socialist enough to relocate into better, safer locations.

Sure we are not helping but it will go south anyways... All we can do is help each other and learn to better live with there catastrophes because the planet does not care about us.

    I'd think all the weapons testing across the world has alot more to say for the cause of any global warming but it never gets brought up, the masses and their over consuming and the factories and machinery for fossil fuel burning ect , neither's much better then the other imo

      Certainly humanity's wars are becoming more destructive, and it takes a great deal of unnecessary energy to produce military weapons, equipment and necessities, as well as ship all these things about from country to country. Evidently power and speed is of prime importance when comes to logistics, and there's no regard for fuel efficiency within any military transport vehicle.
      Never mind what happens when a missile hits the ground. Instant soil disturbance throwing who knows how much CO2 into the air.
      WW1 and WW2 must have been catastrophic on the environment, given the number of battlefields, the damage to cities and towns. All that carnage, and we've never really stopped warring. The scale of wars may be smaller but nowaday smaller devices appear to have ever greater fire power.
      It wouldn't surprise me if the accumulative pollution and destruction of war and military procedures in the 20th century equalled a sizable proportion of pollution and destruction caused by modern industry.

Same for all the plane travel for leisure, just waste and pollution. Our quality of life will suffer greatly in the future because nobody wants to change their habits.

All buildings will have to be equipped with an emergency escape system to the outside and radio communication after the disaster has passed, months or even years later.

    The sad thing is, people have an evolutionary compulsion/fascination to live near water. And this kind of stuff is just going to get worse and worse. The easy answer is to just not live near water, where it's possible. For islands, obviously that isn't something which can be easily avoided but in a place as massive as the US, it very much can.

      there is a very easy way to find the reason of these climate extreme. it is us. you make me think of the man who is asked to point his left ear, and use his right hand to point it.
      why make it complicated when it can be so simple. we , us, all human, made these changes, with our obsession to think we are too tiny to have influence on climate.
      I am indeed too tiny, and you are also, but all of us, all together, (sadly , the only way we are united) are responsible for this climate change.
      dont look at any other place that where equilibrium has been affected, which is our layer of atmosphere into which we throw our garbage for more than 100 years now.

    • @devon1247
      @devon1247 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      At the moment there isn’t a link between activity in the magnetosphere and the energy budget that affects weather in the troposphere - it really is many orders of magnitude smaller. While it’s true that if we lacked a magnetosphere our atmosphere would likely blow off due to solar winds, this would result in a catastrophic net cooling which some suspect is to have happened on Mars. Climate and weather would be more guided by these effects if the lower 10km of the atmosphere were ferromagnetic, but it’s such a small effect. Most of the atmospheric heat is actually emitted from the earth; the surface is sympathetic to the shorter wavelengths that the sun largely emits whereas the atmosphere overall is more sympathetic to the infrared radiation that the earth emits (gasses that absorb the earth’s radiative emissions particularly well are the greenhouse gasses). We can expect more extreme weather through a variety of processes and feedbacks that introducing more kinetic energy into the earth’s system does, and these causes and effects take place much more dramatically in the troposphere
