  1. *+6 in Fahrenheit Be honest, how many?? lol

  2. And to think, this happens evry summer, yes we know😂😂

  3. Serious, you're getting out of your air conditioned car, walk a few feet to stand in front of a sign, alrighty then! All on the guise of caring about climate change!

  4. So long as they play it safe, why not.

  5. There is an audience for everything under the sun.

  6. These people wanting to experience this need their heads examined.

  7. Most humans are out of their minds!!

  8. Nice propaganda piece. The temps were occurring this summer are in no way unusual. Everything in nature ebbs and flows. Highs and lows. Know your history and see the recorded temperatures of the past and this will be found to be true.

    Btw, Death Valley is not breaking records every year as the guide stated. Plus it’s just plain stupid to go to one of the most notorious places on Earth for sweltering heat to prove a point about sweltering heat and so called climate change. It’s like going into your attic in the middle of summer to prove the whole house is getting hotter and their must be a problem with the AC.

    This myth of climate change was created and propagated to program and prepare people years ahead to accept and embrace the idea of the new technology of electric vehicles amongst other things that would be introduced. Fear is a great way to motivating masses amounts of people to submit to their plans for how they want the future to be shaped. It’s nothing new. Create a problem (real or fake) to skew the perception of reality, then offer the solution to that problem at a price.

  9. Death is doing 😈 SLOW COOKING, and people say it’s cool.entertaining. What a bunch of imbeciles. Everyone who said it’s cool literally have a catastrophic brain cells meltdown …

  10. Why would anyone want to sit in a valley in nearly 130F weather?

  11. We didn’t have summer until almost June in Minnesota summer has been coming later each year.

  12. To correct this we should throw money at friends and families of politicians. Yeah, that'll fix it!

  13. Around 2050 hard to find drinking water and food

  14. The Lut Desert in Iran and the Taklamakan Desert in China often get as high if not higher than Death Valley temp wise. It’s just that no one bothered to install official monitoring stations there and the only way we have to officially monitor their temps is via satellite which has a few hang ups.

  15. We are doomed. Such stupidity.

  16. A hard rain is falling .
    A dry wind is blowing .
    And a scorching sun is killing .

    As the powerful in the USA remain silent .

    I was not wrong in my decision with my key about you .
    You still persist . You still refuse to repent and do what’s right.

  17. I feel like a man screaming in the desert to be heard by those who have the power to help heal those who are suffering a lack of leader ship. Donald Trump? Will you do it?

  18. If any of you former presidents are going to claim norms and tradition, look at the current president, and tell me you think he is upholding, norms, and traditions, when it comes to speaking to the public, in the midst of a trial and tribulation, like it has never seen. Will one of you please rise to the occasion ?

  19. Joe Biden has already lost this war.

  20. If the current president of the United States, can’t do his duty, will one of you former presidents please step forward, and in de facto fashion, do it for him ?
