How One of Europe's Hottest Cities Battles Extreme Heat

[@CausticLemons7]

Seville is a beautiful city, and I'm glad to see there are people trying to improve things.

[@JoeyXSmith]

I know people complain but I'm glad the UK hasn't had a warm summer this year. I like the rain and cool air.

[@flubadubdubthegreat1272]

Agreed, but all these people wishing for warm weather are soon gonna regret it

[@5skdm]

as a person living in the tropics, when i wqs youmger never really got why people liked warm weather. "warm weather" in my area is close to unbearable here if you are outside

[@ftdecastrolondon]

Summer in the UK was perfect. Not hot nor cold.

[@HideorEscape]

Just use more trees for shade and cover every single wall with climbing ivy plants like boston ivy. Paint the roofs white or remake them to be able to hold soil and plant plants on top.

[@metalhead2550]

Fahrenheit!? I'm sure that's how they measured it in Spain

[@tsunami870]

For us Americans

[@chrisdusty8134]

Hopefully technological advances will lead to low energy cooling methods for high humidity climates.

[@StephBer1]

It was 28C in my city in Australia today and it's our winter! Normally it's about 7. I'm terrified for the summer.

[@pedro.zurita]

Summer will be cold. It's a climate shift we are experiencing. Our planet will re-establish homeostasis. This most likely means a shift in the extremes of climates-- desert will become flooded or wetlands and forest will become desert.

[@ohmah1843]

Why are the trees so short @3:26? In contrast, trees in SIngapore are 3-4 storeys tall in average.

[@habbyhouse]

Daangoorus indeed.

[@Notrocketscience101]

I remember all the half-baked energy saving prospects from the 1970’s and 80’s. Amazing how many times we fall for the same scams.

[@94josema]

By cutting more and more trees and branches every year and rebuilding public areas purely out of concrete without a single covering for sunny days just to offer 'open spaces' for tourists to walk before they run to the closest restaurant, shop or their hotel.

[@camronrubin8599]

Build some solar panels and use them for shade.

[@phukrnd840]

so odd how no one stops to think that regardless if we make ourselves comfortable we wont survive this... were losing the ecosystem quickly actually its collapsing and like it or not are inside that system and will not live very long after its gone...

[@Mordred478]

We are going to need more power, that's for sure, for cooling systems as global warming continues. Apart from the usual renewable sources, I have long been an advocate of space based solar.

[@mydogisbailey]

Vancouver Canada had a heatwave that matched the temperatures of Arizona

[@ivan007230]

Fahrenheit made me laugh for a moment. Sounded as if u were trying to present their goals/results in a system that is just bigger in scale, so that it sounds as a more meaningful achievement. However, for all of us living in proper temperature measurement system, 18 degrees Fahrenheit is roughly 7.5 in Celsius, which is a lot!

[@theotheleo6830]

Bloomberg is an American company. Therefore, the measurement is given in Fahrenheit.

[@VEVOJavier]

[@westrim]

Both Celsius and Farenheit are based on fairly arbitrary and capricious metrics (Fahrenheit tried to peg 100 to human body temp but was 3 degrees short when more accurate measurements came along, Celsius chose water at a particular pressure and salinity), but Fahrenheit is more precise and relatable (98.6 F is NOT average human body temp, it's a degree lower, but 98.6=37C, for just one example of Celsius leading to inaccuracies). I don't care what temperature boils at, I care whether it's boiling. Of all the SI units, Celsius is possibly the worst one to rope yourself to.

[@56redgreen]

​@@westrim I assume you are American. Celsius has a bit more of a valid backing .. what is arbitrary about in the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0° C and boiling point of water is 100° C, sounds pretty "Metric" to me :)

[@westrim]

@@56redgreen "what is arbitrary about in the Celsius scale" "Celsius chose water at a particular pressure and salinity" Always happy to answer questions I... already answered. Go to Geneva, and water boils at 99C. So much for consistency. Now, Kelvin and Rankine are measured from absolute zero, giving them consistency, but no one wants to use them, because it turns out consistency isn't what people want, it's relatability, and Fahrenheit pairs that with increased precision on human scales. It just turns out that Europe had Napoleon and America didn't, so they parted ways on that and many other subjects as standardization took hold.

[@JJs_playground]

Shouldn't the air vents be at the top (instead of close to the floor) since cold air is heavier than hot air, so it will fall to the ground.

[@sociolocomtsac]

Plant trees. It does the same without the cost.

[@Wawalsh1234]

Stop the idiocy. London will never have that much of a change in 25 years, stop it! Temperature has natural fluctuations beginning at the earth’s formation.

[@alexmccall1736]

Climate Change is very real and has consequences beyond rising temperatures such as storms and flooding. London is already rapidly heating, last summer during July 2022 it reached 40 degrees Celsius for the first time ever.

[@trnstn1]

We need more heat pumps- way less power for 3x cooling output!

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Cool!

[@uhpenyen4291]

In the South-west/east USA, this is called Swampcoolers

[@tsunami870]

Except it's useless in humid climates. Seville is drier compared to other hot and humid parts of the world like southern US, India, south/East Asia

[@breal7277]

Cordoba is even hotter. At least Sevilla has some trees.

[@LetsGo-wl5zo]

So what is the outcome of the heat battle? Don't get it?

[@alanhat5252]

the outcome? We die because there's more profit for oil companies.

[@MC-ny7iw]

Clickbait. Title sounds like a clip with solutions, the opposite is true...

[@makedredd299]

It is a solution, but that country ran out of money and leadership.

[@witness1013]

Meanwhile every building she drove buy had a heat pump...

[@witness1013]

Thanks for telling us like what country you are talking about..

[@skellurip]

[@camronrubin8599]

I have an idea , drink water and sit under a tree . I don’t use AC just a box fan . People need to live in basements where it’s cool 365 days of the year . Saves a lot of electricity.

[@play2keepz]

Summer basement doesn't even need a fan 😂

[@camronrubin8599]

@@play2keepz I’m well aware ,I just like having one

[@noahw5887]

What's a basement? Never seen one! Seriously though we don't have basements in Hawaii or if we did they're very rare.

[@camronrubin8599]

@@noahw5887 construct a concrete dome and cover it with dirt. Basically a basement. Same price as a regular house only Much stronger and no bills for heating/cooling because it stays 65 degrees all year round

[@briandoolittle3422]

The video didn't call it one.

[@alanhat5252]

Correct, it's a continent. What's your point.

[@mandarin408]

So it’s hot in the summer? What else is new?

[@olska9498]

Each year it gets hotter and hotter. London will have the climate of Barcelona in just a few decades. Meanwhile, many parts of Africa will have climates exceeding limits of human survivabilty. That's what's new. Have fun with more and more poor Africans living in inhumane climates migrating to Europe. :)

[@mutantryeff]

Who cares. I live where it gets over 110F regularly and have no AC.

[@fredko4293]

Stop the struggle Olympics, Not a flex lol

[@andrewchow6357]

that aint a flex, just means you are too poor and cant afford AC.........

[@mutantryeff]

@@fredko4293 The governments and MSM of the world have the population focused on everything that is wrong with their lives instead of allowing them to focus on how to fix the problem - likely because the government and MSM are the problem.
