Scorching Heat Wave Damaging Crops And Threatening Cattle



As a brutal heat wave continues to bake much of the country, 98 million Americans are under heat alerts. Cattle ranchers are doing what they can to protect their livestock. Cows are especially at high risk in extreme weather. The heat can also cause problems for crops such as drought, causing farm production to decrease.

  1. Thank you Palki for NOT mentioning this is caused by Co2 gas as it is clearly not the case.
    Notable scientists after notable scientists were telling the same.
    Just because Carl COMETNICKEL Sagan says it's Co2 does that mean it's Co2???
    You check it yourself… 50,000 years ago dramatic change in Earth species then 12,800 dramatic change in Earth species… why???
    It is also of NO coincidence that the Earth orbits on a 25,000 year cycle and when you look at these dates… well… they are all divisions of 12500 years.
    What has happened is that in the past the Earth was hit by Meteors placing a huge umbrella dust cloud into the atmosphere thus cooling the Earth for 10's of thousands of years.
    We are back around in the strike zone another 12,500 years. We saw evidence of this in 1908 the Tunguska Meteor and the 2013 Chelyabinsk Meteor Strike.
    MODERN SCIENCE HAS BEEN FOOLED BY YOUNG STUDENTS GROWING UP BELIEVING THAT OUR EARTH SITS IN THIS "GOLDILOCKS ZONE" IS DOES NOT… IT SITS IN A "PAPABEAR ZONE" OF HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
    In conclusion "Global Warming" let me CopperNickel correct myself "Climate Change has NOTHING ZERO AND ZIP to do with Co2 emissions. It has everything to do with the Earth simply being positioned TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN.
    ๐ŸŒž ๐ŸŒŽ.
    What we must start immediately implementing is a protective cloud to reflect the Sun and cool the Earth.
    The Anunnaki Earth's long lost civilians were having to do the same. Evidence of these mines for gold are all over Aftica. They then called the Earth Nubiru or Nubian as it always was. They concluded the only way to keep Nubtania cool was to place reflective Gold Dust clouds into Earth's atmosphere.
    I BELIEVE "Tide is High" & "What's Going On" in that we need to THROW GOVERNMENT WARNINGS OUT THE WINDOW and realise quickly what we knew we should… THE EARTH IS JUST TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN.
    ๐ŸŒž ๐ŸŒŽ.

  2. The heat and drought were made worse by climate change. Raising cattle is a big part of the cause. The huge number of cows make a huge amount of methane, which is 80 times more potent than CO2 in the first 20 years after being produced. Raising cattle is a major cause of deforestation, which also impacts climate change. The water used by cattle production is among the highest for any type of food production. Each vegan saves 219,000 gallons of water every year! Going vegan is the single most effective way to minimize each of our environmental footprint according to the most comprehensive study done on the subject recently by Oxford research scientists. Link at my channel under "About."

  3. Would be nice if NBC would clover what the world economic forum plan is, like starve the people, collapse the economy to usher in authoritarianism and CBDC to control your life

  4. God is angry with the southern states.

  5. Manchin looks out the window of his yacht,..
    " see ! There's plenty of water"

  6. So now can those in office do something ?

  7. But ol' margie said the hot climate is really goooood for crops and livestock.

  8. I like how the media adds a few degrees to the real temps. It wouldn't be the media if they weren't lying though. All of a sudden humans act like cattle can't survive in heat. After all this time. I guess if you believe global warming is real, you think your vote matters, along with Republican politicians being different than Democratic politicians, then you are indeed lost.

  9. Thoughts and prayersโ€ฆ..

  10. I'm sure mysterious fires will start at more food plants.

  11. Ha haha. Some one tell Joe manchin that Nazi traitor

  12. yuge white udders on that cow; long horn steaming in the humidity
    farmer cant grow his corguettes due to the heat; the shamans cast a curse on fertility of our land maybe

  13. Heโ€™s as guilty as the deplorable, white supremacist Trump supporters who attacked Jussie Smollet.

  14. I wonder how many crops have been lost around the world due to the current heatwaves and record temperatures.

  15. This isn't a heatwave, the real heatwaves are coming in a few weeks, man cannot stop a magnetic reversal

  16. This has happened every summer for hundreds of years

  17. Looks like this reporter has no bra. I don't blame her, it's too hot, I mean she's hor

  18. Yet, these farmers will vote Republican who will block any bills meant to fight climate change.

  19. Youโ€™d think someone would have thought to plant trees to provide some shade..

  20. Start cutting farms that we don't need, we can live without nuts and some fruits/vegetables that literally get wasted and thrown out at supermarkets across the nation, of which most like nut trees require gallons of water daily.

  21. mother's nature: I'm gonna starve yo @$$

  22. Price of Corn & Beef Going up.

  23. I am Jesus Christ in tHis second coming, the LORD.
    I need All humans to heed My Call.

  24. It's the same every year since the earth began.

  25. Yes, you will believe itโ€™s BS

    Until you and everything and everyone are on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ!

    Then you might change your mind.

    Also, you can wait until itโ€™s 130 degrees in the shade and tell yourself itโ€™s not real.

    Donโ€™t forget to think cool thoughts.

  26. Gee. If only we saw this coming.

  27. I just know this is gonna be super bad in a few years. I just have this feeling the end of the world is coming the way things are going

  28. Experiments on heat/cold waves to destroy E-signal, E-signal terrorists countries like India, China, Korea, Japan, Middle East etc must be destroyed….

  29. Its cheaper to buy the cow than a pound of steaks

  30. covid ,heat flation. NBC, hitlers children.there is no pot of gold at the end of the๐ŸŒˆ

  31. I totally understand why polititotaions are so very very concerned about the heat wave. And global warming. Because it has never been hot, really Hot on the summer before. There's a drought out west that's never happened before.(dust bowl in the 30's). Record heat 1936
    And there was about 10 percent of the cars we have now. So be worried it's never been really Hot in the summer before.

  32. Good thing the farmers are Republicans and don't believe in global warming ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

  33. Everytime it gets hot, it's considered a "heat wave" . Give me a break

  34. Outtake from Trump's speech day after January 6: Don't want to say the election is over

  35. Heatflation ?
    Okay.
    Gotta rationalize and segment the blame for constant that is already known as inflation, eh?

  36. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

    "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:39

  37. The heat in Texas is damaging and threatening my soul! I hope we have pumpkins ๐ŸŽƒ for Halloween ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  38. Whoa it's as if the climate is warming ๐Ÿ™„๐ŸŒ๐Ÿœ

  39. The heat will run well past summer like it did in the Southern Hemisphere.

  40. Don't worry retarticans are right about everything

  41. Itโ€™s time to get serious about protecting out planet. Idk why yโ€™all wonโ€™t listen to scientists. Pretty much everything the majority theorizes comes to fruitionโ€ฆ and STILL the majority of the planet ignores!!

  42. Nothing last forever, not even a steady temp.

  43. Where's he getting a round bale for $35-$40?
    It hit $90 two weeks ago!

  44. This reminds me of the movie Interstellar where the worldโ€™s crops are destroyed by blight, assumed to be caused by climate change/global warming. Who would have thought it would come true? (That was sarcasm)
