Hurricane Helene tears through the southeastern United States as scientists say climate change rapidly intensifies hurricanes. The storm devastated large swaths of the southeastern United States after making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 storm. Officials say the death toll is likely to rise, as many are still missing. Helene is expected to be one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history and was fueled by abnormally warm water in the Gulf of Mexico, but most of the media coverage has failed to connect the devastation to the climate crisis. "The planet's overheating. It's irreversible. It's caused by the fossil fuel industry," says climate activist and climate scientist Peter Kalmus in Raleigh, North Carolina. "This will get worse as the planet continues to get hotter."

Yet wars & greed so often get left off the list of climate change causes.
Spot on! The Pentagon uses more petroleum per day than the aggregate consumption of 175 countries (out of 210 in the world), and generates more than 70 percent of this nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions, based on rankings in the CIA World Factbook. “The U.S. Air Force burns through 2.4 billion gallons of jet fuel a year, all of it derived from oil,” reported an article in the Scientific American.

People literally do not understand how food gets their table it can go from one year you can grow crops to the next year you cannot just that quickly that's it you can wind up with no food supply almost overnight.

"Give"? Americans become Communists every time they run into any difficulty.
Many news outlets are calling this 'biblical', which really irks me because they support this magical thinking. Address the science, not the fiction.
This comment right here. I've seen it on more then just one article, and you're right. Media outlets would rather push a fairy tale bullshit narrative, instead of providing the correct information. It's infuriating.
Your “science” is actually a cult.
So "magical thinking" thats what you call the roots for the founding of our country? "Magical thinking" is what you call half the country's beliefs? Aren't you just a modern bigot
We are living through the end of an ice age. Of course carbon emissions have been accelerating this, but to think this is totally man made or even half is quite silly. Far worse weather events occurred at times when humans hadn't even discovered the wheel yet.
As far as the "biblical" thing goes, it's not just the abrahamic faiths that have a flood story. Almost all cultures have a great flood origin story. Probably because it's something humanity has actually survived long ago. Anatomically modern humans (what we are) have existed for half a million years. There's no doubt in my mind that we've been through cataclysm.
We are subject to forces beyond our control. Maybe you don't believe in the spiritual, but in a material sense we are subject to the forces of the planets in our solar system and the cosmos at large. It's all connected. We should do everything we can to prepare no doubt.
Just understand that mother nature is beyond our control. I know Republicans make a great scape goat but we've had devastating weather like this long before the industrial revolution.
Yeah it really annoys me to hear biblical with what the facts are!!

Year after Year I have witnessed first hand record temperatures in the Phoenix Area and throughout the West. The accumulative number of 90 Degree, 100 Degree and 110+ days each year, obliterating previous records the past couple years and prior... It was 117 Degrees this week just few days before October, and temperatures nearing or exceeding 110 Degrees forecasted for at least another week. The norms this time of year used to be in the 90's. This years heat far surpassed last year's, which surpassed the prior years... (Continued Below)
Imagine the increased demands for electricity to power all the air conditioning just in this area alone for Businesses, Homes, Schools, Hospitals, Manufacturing and other "High Demand" requirements. Now multiply that exponentially across the country with other areas also experiencing hotter temperatures for long periods of time. More usage requires more power, which adds more pollution leading to worse conditions in the future. It's a "Feedback Loop" that never ends without intervention. This isn't a new problem it goes back decades. A few might remember the "Black-Out" in New York July 13th-14th in 1977. Think about a wider spread power disruption in large Metropolitan Areas across the country in the hottest periods of the year and for longer periods of time. Death Tolls would be "Massive", and the number of "Heat-Related Illnesses" would be catastrophic for medical facilities in those areas. Massive losses of revenue would occur should Manufacturing be halted during such a disruption. Other impacts would be felt "Far & Wide"
I worked for several years at SEL (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories) a huge manufacturer of Power Generation and Distribution Equipment Internationally. The Nation's "Power Grid" can only deliver the power that is generated or stored. Though big Improvements to the technologies used the manage the delivery of power in this country and abroad have improved over the years, the demands keep rising. The reservoirs used to hold water for electricity generation at our nation's many dams continue to be depleted, and with more frequent and longer lasting "Drought Events" the future seems to be a very serious problem for many... Though flooding is becoming more and more frequent and extreme, little has been done in the big scheme of things, to manage this water storage to handle future needs, resulting in ever increasing damage and destruction to populated areas, agriculture and loss of life... Projects should have been implemented throughout the years to work at planning for and solving the problem in the future, but instead "Profit" over "Investment" has been the norm for those massive companies operating and "Raking in Money" to supply the need for electricity. These projects required Investment, which some has been made to improve the infrastructure of the "Power Grid", I believe not nearly enough has been accomplished. When was the last "Major" Dam Project like the "Hoover Dam" (Boulder) completed in 1936 or "Roosevelt Dam" completed in 1911 and expanded in 1989? Instead of preparing for the increasing demands, and destructive "Natural Disasters" caused by overwhelming flooding events, the massive companies and corporations have continued to profit and raise electricity rates for millions. How many times have you seen "Dam Failures and Breaches" in recent times? So little is done to improve and maintain the aging vital infrastructure.
Current Water Management of the rivers in the West, like the Colorado River, is not prepared for a future of such demand for increased power and more importantly the precious fresh drinking water needed to supply the increasing number of inhabitants of states like Arizona, California and Nevada, as well as the huge demand for Agriculture in those same states. More demand of the Aquifers of "Ground Water" in these areas is leading to rapid depletion. This depletion in turn leads to a vast change of the structure of the ground above the massive voids left when the water is no longer present below. "Sink-Holes", and "Quakes" are typical results, and a depleted store of such important water. It's hard to watch such 'Destruction" and "Death" caused by the more frequent floods, knowing that despite the vast quantities of water destroying Homes, Businesses, Manufacturing, Agriculture and most importantly people's lives, it will do little to mitigate the droughts in our future. A product of these extended droughts is clearly seen in the ever-increasing Wildfires across the West. Natural "Watersheds" provided by the forests destroyed are also eliminated, causing increased "Run-off" during periods of heavy rain only adding to the frequent "Flood Events" going forward. Where does it all end I ask? If the "Urgency To Do Something" I foresee in the future as conditions worsen would have been felt years prior maybe the "Worse to Come" could have been prevented...
Earlier this year I watched documentaries exposing the "Increase of Ocean Water Temperatures" around Florida and other coastlines. Water the temperature of "Hot Tubs" in places, "The Warmest on Record". Drastic impacts to marine life, coral reefs and related environments resulted... This was a "Clear Warning" of what was to come, and guess what? This led to Increased energy and damage exerted by more and more frequent Hurricanes in those areas. Wasn't anyone paying attention?? If only those profiting so much from industries impacting the environment so drastically cared more about the "Situation" they're passing along to their children and future generations, as the do about money & profit, maybe something would change...

And you believe HIM? Time will reverse it just like it does with all cyclical processes; the sun, the moon, the tides , the seasons; Nature is not Linear! Only mainstream Modern science, and I emphasize MAINSTREAM MODERN science, is linear because it doesn't look far enough into the past or far enough into the distant future to see the cyclical nature of our immediate environment, the global environment , or the environment of our galaxy and universe.
Everything has been dumbed down in our education system so everyone will be easier to manipulate and control; in the 60's and 70's the cyclical nature of the universe and our immediate environment was taught in the junior high and high school science classes.

People don't think about the power of water until your River washes everything away out from under you
Hurricanes and other natural disasters are a fact, and history shows it. BUT what we're seeing, is MORE storms like the one that impacted Galveston. It's getting more frequent. In my lifetime, I've seen a dozen huge storms that did millions or billions in damage,(Andrew, Katrina, Michael, Ivan, Ida, Fran, Isaac, Harvey, etc.) and the only thing that kept the death toll from reaching the tens of thousands, was modern predictions and warning systems. I've seen more than a few "storm of the century" claims on winter blizzards. And all that before you count tornados, wildfires, ice events, and droughts.
Climate change does happen naturally. But what we're experiencing isn't natural. Natural changes happen over tens of thousands of years--not one century. Natural shifts are slow, and the environment has time to adapt. What we're seeing is going to alter life on Earth. If we don't slow it down, we're going to lose human life on Earth, and a lot of animal species as well.
Yeah did Fossil fuel cost that....
@@limomangenodo you mean cause that? Yes, the heating of the ocean caused by burning of fossil fuels is contributing to these never before seen weather events
Lol
Few people really care about climate change- just stating a fact. When people care about something they sacrifice for it. Those who want to make money from fossil fuels are willing to kill for the privilege. Those who care about maintaining humanity in a sustainable mode are willing to hold up signs. It's not a fair fight in terms of motivation. People are motivated by money, by enriching their families with dynastic wealth. I think this motivation, though irrational in its proportions (you don't need millions to provide for your family), is just stronger than the more abstract motivations of saving the planet. Saving the planet isn't an evolved animalistic impulse like aggregating wealth is.
I'm sorry, but the fossil fuel industry is not going to stop because people are just not willing to do what it takes to stop them. It's time to turn to mitigation strategies and time to stop being hopelessly idealistic.
Many aren't aware of it. Young people aren't old enough to have watched their native home change over decades, to where even Republicans and Dem neighbors agree, snow has lessened, doesn't snow at all anymore, our winters have gotten warm (when growing up we had fantastic snows 2-3 times a year minimum, the kind you get out of school and roam neighborhoods).

@@johnhpalmer6098Well, it is, but it's NOT caused by my car....or my steak.
Even if you don't believe climate change is caused by humans. The reality of the situation is that we need significant change in order to mitigate loss. Rebuilding in flood,storm,or drought prone areas is not gonna help or having the shitty infrastructure that we have currently in this country. All our current infrastructure is aging and falling apart so we can't even deal with this"natural increase in climate" that's bringing about truly adverse weather. So whether you wanna believe it's man made or not, actions need to be taken to adjust to changing climate and weather, or we're gonna suffer needlessly. It's as simple as that either we move our future cities farther from the coast or better weatherproof them or let them be 25 feet underwater and act surprised like we didn't know it was possible.

The planet has been doing this forever, how much is this government paying all these people, lots of money for all this nonsense!!!
climate denyer. You have to be REALLY checked out to not see what man has done to the environment the past 150 years and not know any facts. Sad
The science is that 122,000 years ago, the earth was warmer than it is today, and sea levels were 20 to 25 feet higher than today, and, oh yeah, no one was burning fossil fuels.
is that why millions are forced to migrate in Africa because they just decided to "leave home". Millions, its in the papers
true. but 122000 years ago, there weren’t billions of people living within 20-25 feet above sea level. if sea levels raised 20-25 feet in 20,000 years, it wouldn’t be a problem. but if it raises 20-25 feet in 100 years, you have billions of people to move. do you see the problem?
Your guest says Climate change is irreversible and then says he has a solution in wind and solar.
Oooops
Solar isn't the answer either. These massive solar farms are intensifying the heat in the atmosphere as they reflect the sun's rays...
It IS irreversible, and if you were listening - or listen again, you'd have heard that it will get worse - and for that aspect, there are solutions that our "leaders" in poltics and business refuse to do, so humanity will be wiped out.
@@jcriverside So let's just say us " crazy " Christians are right then we live in eternal peace with Jesus Christ for eternity. Then as you say the rest of humanity will be " wiped out " . ( eternal torment ) No thanks I choose Jesus and if you are still breathing so can you.

It's time to nationalize big oil. The future of the human species literally depends on it.
These companies are willing to jeopardize the well being of every person on the planet in order to meet their "targets." How can that be allowed to continue?
I completely get what you mean, that being said. Have you not seen how they are with everything else? You really think they should be controlling our oil usage and cost? Sounds like a super slippery slope to me. Hell we spend 800+ billion on military... Just imagine on how much more we'd be spending on the sale of oils at the national level. Hell we can't even agree on who is going to run the country.
@@TwistedSense Ok, so let's fix the politics and electoral system, then fix the government, and then nationalize big oil.
Any one is as likely as the others.
But they are all worthwhile goals.
Nationalising oil companies will do nothing. Many of the largest oil companies are already state owned, like Saudi Aramco, Rosneft, China National Oil Corporation, Equinor and many others. These companies are pushing exactly the same narrative as other oil companies.
What’s needed is complete removal of state subsidies. These companies doesn’t develop any revolutionary new technologies or new markets. They just don’t want to compete on an open market with renewables.
The fossil energy chains are so wasteful and inefficient that oil production has to be energy subsidised to survive. This trend is global and will only increase.
Worked out well for Venezuela when they nationalized oil. I mean besides all the hunger and eating rats part.
You're smoking crack.
It's the sun and weather manipulation.
Weather mod flights been flying in the Atlantic trying to create/strengthen hurricanes. Monkeywerx and Redacted have shown this.
yeah it’s called burning fossil fuel
Solar variation is less than 0.01% of human caused climate forcing.
No but your brain must be manipulated by ignorance.
It's ignorant nothings thinking they know more than the experts. Shutup.
This guy watches too much weather channel.
He's with NASA. That's all I need to make my assessment.
There's no money left in climate change alarmist .. even Gretta Thunberg is out.
Aww for Pete's sake! This hurricane formed in the Caribbean.
So is this your way of not having to help.
Y'all really think we don't know this stuff occurred in 1791? You are FOS.
LIE LIE LIE
I thought conspiracy theories were bad?
Wow imagine what the half trillion $$ we gave Ukraine would do in helping actual Americans??
Stop being dumb. We’re not giving Ukraine any money. All that money goes straight to the weapons manufacturers. They get to profit twice.
@@AlaninUSA66 Right?!?!?!

@@judigrumm7190 , Zelinski doesn’t own any property in America. Try again Comrade. What are you going to say next? That his wife bought a Bugghati? Russian disinformation is pathetically easy to disprove..
I wonder if Noah's Ark ran on fossil fuels.
Yes. No hurricanes or floods or fires or earthquakes or landslides ever existed prior to the combustion engine. Wait, that can't be right...
Does the concept of magnitude exist in your mind? Do you not know that earthquakes have nothing to do with climate change?
Can I please ameliorate your ignorance?
@Pandora234able First off, I was being ridiculous to point out the ridiculousness. Secondly, environmentalists like AOC, have claimed that " climate change" could be responsible for earthquakes. Third, environmentalists have also claimed " climate change " is responsible for poverty and mass illegal immigration. Finally, I realize you want to feel important by stopping cow farts and Honda civics. I can remember how Algore said Manhattan would be under water by 2006 and then Bill and Hill immediately bought a place in Harlem. Then we're told that the oceans will rise in 20..no..30..no..50 years. Has it occurred to you that it's all b.s.?
He's Not a Climate Scientist, He's a physicist. He's doesn't have training in Meteorology or global climate. He is however an activist. He's done some decent work in physics though. Democracy Now as usual skips the details.
Yes bc we are in a grand solar minimum the suns flare intensified the store. We are or were having another Aurora borreliosis. Just less hype this time.
_"...And we're here to bitch about it."_ Lol
Let me offer a dissenting opinion: Large Volcanic Eruption (Hunga-Tongs) + el nino + solar activity ==> hot weather + storms
There are four problems with this argument. First of all yes we have had some very nasty storms. What weather does not equal climate and never has. When we talked about damage estimates most people don't do comparison year to year and adjust for inflation. And more than that what we build today cost more because we put more into it we have more wires and cabling we have more safety standards that are required in things we have to use certain types of plumbing and not cheaper things so a home that could have been repaired and replaced in the early 1900s can't be built in most jurisdictions today
The the ultimate truth here is mankind is not in charge of the environment no matter how much we think we are and the more we in modern nations are smacked about our emissions when they account for a fraction of what the developing world is doing I'm sorry there is not much more we can do than what we are already doing. The rest of the world needs to catch up and then make the same changes if indeed these climate emissions are contributing some factor to this but I think the sun is getting hotter
@@VeretaxEmmisions are a teeny tiny immeasurable factor. This man created climate change is 100 % B S.
Not all of the daily climate changes are 100% a factor of anything. This video title is intentionally single topic focused towards fossil fuels, yet say nothing ever about: 1) solar cycles and how the sun's activities affect our earth events; 2) government funded continuous geo-engineering that takes place in MULTIPLE COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE USA, which affects the weather; and 3) how chemical compounds (that aren't energy related fossil fuel corporations) are and have been used for decades that also contaminate the ozone layer.
I watched different local MSM channels and independent channels/media covered the hurricane. How much coverage is sufficient for you to be satisfied?
Bruh said "Do better" lol
These people always need to signal their deviant weird Bullsh×t. He's telling the rest of the DSA'S that he's a ranking member.

How can he say he has the solutions and say it’s irreversible in the same sentence?
This interview is actually living proof that DN is a globalist funded fake pro peace indy news program. Is it any wonder Amy Goodman is banned from multiple countries such as Indonesia and Egypt. The climate hoax is promoted by the billionaire elite class. So how can she be promoting it if she is for the little people?
Solution to preventing even worse. Had we acted sooner, could have prevented more. Slim possibility for meaningful action now.
This is about capping off at where we are now and not letting it get any worse. The worse it gets the worse it will be for generations.
solutions so that humans can continue to live, are you being willfully obtuse?
Quit steeling out tax money
Irreversible? Then make fuel cheaper and let's get it over with

Wacko bullshit
Shouldn't talk about yourself like that
At the gas tank continues getting hotter everyday ridiculous because the Earth gets hotter and it gets colder every single day
Are we under the water yet? Shouldn't we be under water 10 years ago already?
You go first, we don't need self-serving, selfish, egotistical pr-cks like you around.
You can't find any scientists who made such outlandish predictions. Stop listening to fools.
Well we were preparing for the next Ice Age when I was a kid. What happened to that??
@@cev12Such vitriol. And caused by a huge lie.
@@judigrumm7190 Yep! Lies, lies and more lies from fossil fuel corporations, who you are likely being paid to do the bidding off by obfuscating the science. You should feel like sh-t about yourself for aiding the end of a habitable Earth (and if you don't, your progeny will hate you for it).
The USA got hit by a very powerful hurricane. China, japan, Korea, and the Philippines got hit by two very powerful monsoons, and Europe got hit by a very powerful storms! All in the month of September. It was a coincidence? Right?
Unstable weather patterns don't respect borders.

This is not climate change and fossil fuels. It was a direct energy weapon😮
That sounds more logical😬
Most yall have lost your minds over C.C. if you think every hurricane is caused by C.C. Cat 4 and 5 hurricanes have always hit the Gulf Coast, and their were about 2 or 3 times as many 4 or 5 super hurricanes that hit Florida or the gulf coast from 1995 to 2005 then have hit us during the last 10yrs. In fact in just the year 2004-2005 we had 5 of them yet then immediately afterwards from 2006-2016 ONLY 3 Major Hurricanes struck us, so there is no pattern of having stronger + more being produced by warmer ocean waters.
Sure! Here are all of the major hurricanes that hit the United States between 1994 and 2006:
Hurricane Opal (1995) - Made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Fran (1996) - Struck North Carolina as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Georges (1998) - Hit the Gulf Coast, particularly Mississippi and Alabama, as a Category 2 hurricane.
Hurricane Floyd (1999) - Made landfall in North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane.
Hurricane Charley (2004) - Struck Florida as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Ivan (2004) - Made landfall in Alabama as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Jeanne (2004) - Hit Florida as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Katrina (2005) - Devastated Louisiana and Mississippi as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Rita (2005) - Struck Texas and Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane.
Hurricane Wilma (2005) - Made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 hurricane.
While the next 10 years from 2006-2016 only had 3 such storms hit:
Hurricane Ike (2008) - Made landfall in Texas as a Category 2 hurricane.
Hurricane Irene (2011) - Struck the East Coast, particularly North Carolina and New York, as a Category 1 hurricane.
Hurricane Sandy (2012) - Hit the Northeast, including New Jersey and New York, as a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds.
And then in 2017 there is 3 of them in that 1 year followed by the historical normal rate from last 200 yrs. of about 1 every year.
Hurricane Harvey (2017) - Made landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, causing catastrophic flooding.
Hurricane Irma (2017) - Struck Florida as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Maria (2017) - Impacted Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Michael (2018) - Made landfall in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane.
Hurricane Dorian (2019) - Affected the Carolinas as a Category 1 hurricane after devastating the Bahamas.
Hurricane Laura (2020) - Struck Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Ida (2021) - Made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Ian (2022) - Hit Florida as a Category 4 hurricane.
Hurricane Beryl (2024) - The first major hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.

Amy Goodman was born to secular Jewish parents who were active in social action groups.[7][8] Her father, George Goodman, was an ophthalmologist.[9] Her mother, Dorothy Goodman, was a literature teacher and later a social worker.[10] She has two brothers, David Goodman and Steven N. Goodman.[11] Goodman's maternal grandfather was an Orthodox rabbi.[12][13]

100° heat in October. That's crazy. I'm not in the middle of the desert
I always find it interesting reading through the comments section of climate related videos. There's a whole lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth but almost none of the people commenting are Vegan. It astounds me that people can't even be bothered to take the most basic steps to help mitigate what's happening.
I was hoping he would mention animal agriculture. I feel like that is rarely part of the conversation.
