Vaush effectively exposes the irony of "developed" nations being paralyzed by the climate volatility they historically fueled, revealing a systemic fragility hidden behind Western wealth. It is a sobering look at how even the global elite are structurally unprepared for the environmental consequences of their own industrial legacy.

Jesus Christ This Is ApocalypticAdded:
Parts of Europe swelter and record mayheat as deaths at amateur sports events spur warnings. Oh boy, it's happening.
It's 90° in London. Jesus Christ. It's evening in London. UK temperatures. Oh my god. It's going to be even hotter tomorrow. The high today was 92. The high tomorrow is 93. What the hell?
Rookie numbers. That's like a normal Tuesday in Los Angeles. It's true, but keep in mind LA is a dry heat and all the buildings are made of paper. Whereas in the United Kingdom, it is a suffocating humid heat and the buildings are made of stone. Yes, but the British deserve to suffer. This is also true. Uh but there are there are good people living there, tourists. I assume they also haven't invented air conditioning over there. They literally can't afford it. Do you have any idea how much it would cost the average Brit to run AC with their power bills? The UK broke its record Monday for the hottest temperature ever recorded in May. Oh, no. Not not like this, man. It hit 92 degrees Fahrenheit at Heathrow Airport.
Oh no. Breaking the previous record by a whole degree Fahrenheit. Oh god, it's only going to get worse. Installing AC in all homes would cause a rolling brown or straight up collapse the grid. My understanding is that every um every watt of electricity that makes its way to a European home has to be like handd delivered from a Russian natural gas power plant. My understanding might be a little bit antiquated, but I think that every time a Brit turns on the the the tea kettle or whatever, it's it's a you you have to imagine the natural gas racing from a Russian pipeline over to a plant. You know, it has to travel long and far. They don't they don't make energy domestically. They don't know how to. They've forgotten how. Mostly Azerbaijan now. But yes, that's even farther away. Okay. up, man.
Wouldn't it have been cool if the European Union uh had invested in building up their energy grid as opposed to what they've been doing for the past 40 years, which is uh into their cuped hands and eating the Wouldn't that be wouldn't it be crazy if they had taken a different route other than like the affformentioned poop eating strategy? Now, Western Europe is bracing for an unusually intense end of May heatwave with forecasters warning temperatures can break long-standing records across parts of the continent.
And health officials are urging people to take precautions as a powerful high pressure system traps hot air in what scientists describe as a heat dome. Now, hot weather is already sweeping across parts of Europe with beaches filling up and ice cream sales booming as people search for ways to cool down. In the United Kingdom, the med office had said the temperatures are expected to climb above the previous May record of 32.8 degrees C, which was set back in 1944.
Health experts are warning the sudden spike in temperatures could pose serious risks, especially for vulnerable groups and people with heart conditions. Now, Cancer Research UK has >> Were you living in Seattle when the region had our heat dome back in 2021?
Yeah, it was pretty crazy. I remember I was up in like the the the studio uh just playing Binding of Isaac in 112°ree heat. I just I had the fan on and I just sat there motionless. I was like a lizard. I I I lizard maxed um for the heat dome in Seattle. My thought was like trying to fight the heat is futile.
You you have to simply lay there motionless and have a lot of water.
Y'all know AC's up in the P&W. N 50/50.
Anyway, it's not good folks. Um this is only the beginning too. probably going to get a lot of deaths in uh in Europe this year just from the heat wave. Lot of deaths, maybe five digits. Who knows?
Who knows?
>> Also issued fresh warnings about prolonged sun exposure, saying melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK are projected to reach a record high this year. And the charity says that skin cancer rates have risen by nearly a third over the past decade. Now meteorologists say that the heat surge is being driven by a major shift in wind patterns. First meteorologist say patterns have shifted with cooler winds and warm air moving north from Africa.
>> That hot air is now spreading into western and central Europe causing temperatures to rise rapidly. At the same time, a large high-pressure system has formed over the region, trapping heat near the ground and creating so-called heat dome conditions. And under the high pressure, air sinks and cloud covers reduces, allowing more sunshine to reach the surface and with clear skies and warm winds continuing for several days.
>> Jesus it's 37° C in Paris today.
Good lord, it's May. It is May. Where are all the ruroids who made fun of our AC? Or the Europeans? They're going to be begging for our AC technology.
>> The water at London's Teddington lock is how these people want to beat the heat.
>> On the hottest day of the year, the kayaks are out.
>> So far, >> the paddle boards, too, and even a rowing boat.
>> We decided to kind of drive down. We m we departed from Richmond and then we've paddled the whole way here.
>> We've been waiting for the sun for months. Um and we winter paddled but this is it finally feels like summer has the ride this weekend.
>> I love the sun. So for me it's like >> glad we're taking a positive kick on this over at Sky News. You know Sky News is owned by Murdoch. So they can't acknowledge climate change. They have to be like cold blimey. Sure is a nice day to be out in the sun is it? Or something like that.
>> Still imperfect. Um beautiful. You can tell these people aren't really used to the sun either because this older woman has relatively nice skin and she's wearing what appears to be a tank top with minimal sunscreen coverage during a record heat wave in the UK. All these people are going to die of skin cancer.
I was uh I was when I was down in Zion, almost every person hiking there was wearing like a sunshirt or was lthered in sunscreen, which is objectively the correct thing to do by the way. In fact, like you should get everyone watching this right now should invest in a sun shirt. like the we however bad you think the sun is for your skin, it's worse. Okay, what's a sun shirt? It's a shirt that has UV protection properties. You know, they're not exactly fashionable, but they will keep you from dying. If you want to go if you want a fashion match for it, you're going to have to put some work in. Okay, I don't know. You can dress like uh you can dress like you live on Arachus maybe, or you can watch Lawrence of Arabia and take your fit inspo from there. So, like a white shirt. No, a UV protected white shirt. A thin light white linen shirt on its own doesn't afford you much sun protection, though it's better than nothing.
>> It's lovely to see everyone out, everyone happy.
>> It's officially a heat wave with temperatures in excess of 30°.
>> Your regular shirts not protect you from UV a good amount. Yeah, usually depends on the fabric, of course, but a sun shirt will 100% protect you from UV wherever you're wearing it.
>> Celsius. The last time this happened in May was back in 2012. And when unseasonably good weather arrives, so do official warnings. With the sun comes danger from the heat. The UK Health Security Agency has issued Amber Alerts for the Midlands, East of England, London, and the Southeast. And this means that health and social care services are likely to be significantly impacted.
These alerts remain in place until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. With the heat here to stay, sunbathing is a popular choice.
But with UV levels being high, there are considerations.
The UV level is highest in the UK between the hours of 11 and 3. But its strength is dependent upon a range of factors. Month of the year, the high-risisk months are May to September.
>> Cloud cover, even through overcast skies, 30 to 40% of UV still reaches the ground. Altitude. The higher up you go, the stronger the UV. And reflection.
Water reflects 5 to 10% of UV rays. And it's leaving skin cancer specialists concerned. Unfortunately, we have a really unhealthy relationship with the sun in the UK because it comes out so intermittently. We binge on it. The problem is we were never brought up to have good sun protection habits. And that's something that's been passed on from generation to generation. So even now you have adults that will put sunscreen on children and just write wipe the remnants on themselves >> across the UK from rivers to our coastlines the same picture. Beaches and a bank.
>> Can you just not buy sunscreen in the UK? Yeah, of course you could buy sunscreen but a lot of people don't use it. A lot of people are just like uh whatever and that's how you die. Then you die.
>> Holiday a combination that has the RNLI on high alert. Whilst the air temperature is perhaps unseasonably warm.
>> It was a joke Damn. Well, this is a joke too.
>> The the sea temperature, water temperature of rivers and anywhere like that just hasn't caught up yet.
>> Suddenly going into that water will bring on a thing called cold water shock and we're urging people to really take care. So if you are planning to go to a beach, if you can, please go to a lifeguarded beach.
>> For now, the sunshine continues. spot.
>> Remember when people got upset at climate activists for throwing paint on Stonehenge? Wonder how those people feel now. They don't they don't see the connection. These are Sky News viewers.
They have no idea. Oh, you can see here what I what I rented for last night in in pursuing with my my interest in authentic Dracula adaptations. We watched uh the first twothirds of Van Helsing. Christ, that movie is Fun though. Just read the comments. How did we ever manage without these needless alerts? Temperature goes above 20 and it's a national emergency. Yeah, see they literally don't. It's called summer. It comes around every year.
These people are all going to die. Oh no, we have weather. And in the winter we will have weather. Why the news always make good weather in the UK sound bad. Hottest temperature ever recorded in May. This is what again like it's it's Sky News. I don't know what you I don't know what you want.
>> As soon as the temperatures sore, this couple near Rome doesn't hesitate to switch on the air conditioning. 32° outside versus 25 inside. Their house was fitted with three units 3 years ago.
>> As soon as summer arrives, the heat makes us switch them on everywhere, and that cools the whole house down. So, there's one in the bedroom, one in the study, and one in the living room. And we can actually run them separately.
>> To save money, they don't switch them on all at once, as the extra cost on the electricity bill can run up to €80 a month. On top of the cost of >> man's got a damn setup over there.
>> An installation which can run up to €3,000.
>> I'm suffering from the heat these days.
>> When this happens in the US, the energy grid will buckle and people will just start dying their homes. Yeah. I don't I really don't think people are ready for like the great boomer die off of 2027 where record uh temperatures across the uh the Bible belt cause a rolling brown out and then like 400,000 boomers just die like overnight. You know, might address the political demographics a bit, but probably not enough to fix the uh the Bible belt.
>> An extra 80 years to have it a bit cooler than be hot all day long. The uptake of air conditioning in France is growing year on year. 27% of houses and 12% of flats by 2025, a figure well below that of Japan, where 91% of homes are airond conditioned. In the United States, the figure is 90%.
With a heat wave in May, these Parisians have decided to get themselves kitted out. We decided to go all out. The place is poorly insulated, so we needed something quite powerful after all. But there's always the same dilemma, the negative impact of air conditioning on the environment.
>> It's a vicious circle really. It's true that we are increasing the temperature outside, but it's become unbearable.
>> Like them, more and more customers are deciding to take the plunge.
>> A 60% increase in our sales of fans and air conditioners compared to last year.
So, a real increase in sales. This shop is aironditioned like the vast majority of shopping centers and a third of French offices. As for schools, only >> 2/3 of French offices don't have AC. Oh my god. Good lord.
>> Unconscious runners being treated by emergency responders. Some placed in ice water to lower their body temperature.
They all collapsed during races Sunday morning in a suburb outside Paris where temperatures climbed over 30°. A total of 16 people fell ill. 10 were taken to the hospital in serious condition.
>> I saw people being treated. First aid arriving. People were exhausted. They were vomiting.
>> Faced with the heatwave, organizers had considered cancelling the race.
ultimately decided to go ahead adding more water stations and increasing the number of medical personnel on site.
It was maintained because we are not facing extraordinary circumstances and because additional measures were added.
>> 20 people had to go to the emergency room after a marathon in Gothberg. In Sweden, >> central Paris, a man in his 50s, suffered cardiac arrest during another race. At this stage, a link to the heat has not formally been established.
>> He collapsed suddenly. Then his head hit the ground, and we could tell right away that he had stopped breathing. Emergency responders arrived almost immediately.
They tried to resuscitate him for at least an hour and a half, but they were >> the smugoid will know true suffering. I really I feel we can't make fun of the Europeans too much for suffering the consequences of climate change when like most Europeans believe in anthropogenic climate change and like half of Americans don't. You know, in fairness, the insistence that anthropogenic climate change isn't real is largely an American phenomenon. It it's like an American evangelical doomsday cult phenomenon, right? Like most Europeans believe in anthropogenic climate change.
So on this one, feel like feel like they don't deserve it quite as much. You just saw the comments in the Sky News segment. Yeah, but that's like Sky News.
Those are like the, you know, Brexit boomers. up thing is that the USA is projected to not be affected by climate change that much directly.
You're wrong. Okay. Like the the big thing is that like Europe is going to get much much much hotter, but America is going to get a lot more tumultuous.
Weather events in America are much more extreme on average than they are in Europe. We have colder colds and hotter hots. So on average, I think the temperature is projected to rise across Europe more than America, but we're going to get more extreme weather events. New York City is going to get buffeted with a hurricane every like 3 days. Americans emit like 10 times as much CO2 per capita as Europeans. Oh no, we we are a wretched death country. We are a death country for sure. We will be um we will be uh despised in times to come. Like history will look back on us.
Uh the like many it was a common belief during the Middle Ages that Rome fell because they were decadent. That homosexual pagan emperors were too busy each other to look after the people and that the Europeans that followed may be less technologically developed but were more spiritually developed. This is how future generations will think about America.
They're going to hate us. They are going to hate our asses, man. Good lord. Look at that. O Wyoming. In fairness, there are like five people in Wyoming. though. How are they emitting so much? Because people in Wyoming and North Dakota, like these are largely rural, low development areas, which means a lot of the people here are living a rural lifestyle with American incomes. Um, in addition to the fact they drive around constantly. Yeah. Like we're we're talking like people having to drive two hours to go to the grocery store, but everyone has to do that.
There's basically no equivalent to this in Europe. Like there's ba there's essentially no place in Europe. The closest I can think of is Russia because Russia does also like a lot of people depend on their cars to get around. Very wide country depending on where you live. But Russia doesn't have the income. If Russia was a wealthy country, they might be as much of a problem as we are, but they don't have the income to like they can't drive as freely as we can. Then what's West Virginia's excuse?
Um, probably the same deal, right? If anything, the lesson we should learn from this is that the more developed and dense a population is, the less carbon it admits per capita, right? I mean, California, New York City. Look at this coal plants there. Yeah. Yeah, they do have a lot of coal plants in in West Virginia as well because, you know, coal. I did not know that. Tha. Anyway.
Yeah. World's ending. Don't know what you want. I guess going to be a bad heatwave. I want to reverse time. If you could turn back time to the good old days. You get it? You heard that song before? Incidentally, much as we uh westerners like to complain, it's actually much worse elsewhere. For instance, the Delhi heat wave allegedly according to this here YouTube short has crossed 45 degrees C which to my understanding is 1 million degrees Fahrenheit.
>> If we talk about Delhi NCR in Northwest India maximum temperatures are currently exceeding 45° C in many places.
>> Consequently, heat wave conditions are being felt in many >> I have no idea how accurate these translations are. Let me look for something a little bit more reliable.
Delhi temperature right now it's nighttime and it is 94° F. So that's cool.
>> India is experiencing sweltering, blistering heat. I'm currently in the national capital, New Delhi, and the temperature right now is 45°.
The sun is shining at my face, and it's extremely difficult to be standing here on the streets. More than an environmental issue, this is also becoming a public health challenge for the residents of the city who are experiencing dehydration, exhaustion, and in some severe cases also heat strokes. The government has issued advisories and alerts directing people to stay indoors. However, for many here on the streets of Delhi, that is not an option.
>> Due to how Indian seasons work, this is about as hot as it gets. We'll see buddy. Okay. It's due to be a bad year.
A bad year.
>> Are continuing to work in these extreme conditions to be able to earn their living. Alongside the advisories by the government, there is a heat action plan that has been initiated for the city of Delhi. However, the Indian Metrological Department predicts that the next week will not bring any relief to the >> Yeah, dressing like this is your alternative to wearing a sunshirt. Your choice, white boy. And this is uh 1:00 a.m. Wait, 1:00 a.m. where reset to now?
This is now. Yesesh. 98 of the 100 hottest cities in the world are in India. I feel so bad for people in the global south, man. We whine so much over here and we've caused so many problems for so many people. Look at the southwestern USA. Always got to bring it back to the west, huh? Well, pretty pretty hot. But 94 in Vegas in Phoenix isn't, you know, entirely out of the pale. The real story right now is over in uh over in the east or you know, our east. Yeah. Imagine living here and having to listen to Trump tell you that in order to end war with Iran, uh your leaders have to sign the Abraham Accords. Sheesh. Imagine. God is protecting his heavenly warriors in Thran, though. See, relatively uh relatively cool. We know it's going to be a bad time all around, but where would you say it'll be least bad? I'm not giving you world tour coordinates to outlast the apocalypse, buddy. Okay, fly to the moon. I'm becoming a Shia Catholic. Aren't we all?
