  1. very shalow bay partly surrounded by land less than 5 feet deep got to 101? lol. what about the actual ocean around florida?

  2. So what are we doing to actually prepare for the hurricanes? Or are we just gonna let people suffer and end?

  3. MOVE OUT OF FLORIDA PEOPLE ITS BECOMING A HELL HOLE

  4. Notice how this "journalist" puts the tone of doom in her voice.

    Notice how "journalists" today use worry words in their reporting.

    Notice how these people aren't interested in reporting facts (certainly not always reliable ones), but in stoking fears to get the population all anxious (with the ultimate goal to have more people see their ads, of course.)

    This manipulation of peoples' emotions can result in both mental and physical ailments (which is why it was suggested during the pandemic that the media was guilty of genocide.)

    Make any phenomenon seem worse than how it actually is.

    And the sad thing is that there are so many Americans who'll believe whatever their media tell them, from the false "China bad" narrative to the narrative states that, regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia had invaded because it's a naturally aggressive power (and not because of the genocide of ethnic Russians in Ukraine, or, because of the unnecessary encroaching of NATO right up to Russia's borders.)

  5. The hurricane and gonna be so much stronger

  6. Growing algee, dead bodies, and cooked Crocodiles…. I wouldn't want to live around those bodies of water…

  7. A puddle at the boat launch reached over 120°, be afraid folks!

  8. The evangelical MAGA-types who have refuted climate change warnings for years should see this as a reason to start praying for cooler temperatures. That would be their idea of “taking action”.

  9. A few moments later…

    The data from one of our buoy that was reported on last week, was in fact mistaken data. The buoy was to be installed off the coast of Florida. However it somehow got switched on two days prior to the install. The temperature reading of 101.1°F was not in fact the temperature of the ocean but rather our asphalt parking lot where the buoy was being held.

    We apologies for any fear this may have caused and we will work harder to not report on misinformation in the future.

  10. ColonizerRon should be summoned home to start filling sand bags. And on 45, can he swim
    really well ? Storm surge is coming to Florida. Good people have to get out because it will
    become progressively more dangerous to live there. Even if every 2a freak shot at the
    coming hurricanes in full auto it would not stop them from reaching land. So, good people please leave.

  11. No one regards farmers and fishermen.

  12. That is fucking ridiculous no water breaks in that Texas heat

  13. you get a 10m water break every hour in north Korea for fs

  14. Should we start running around screaming?

  15. I wonder how many greenhouse gases were generated making the dumb ice block at the end. That's the definition of irony right there. It didn't even melt, it fell over 😂😂😂

  16. Wouldn't all the fish die.

  17. The underwater eruption in January injected trillions of gallons of water into the stratosphere. This will cause high temperatures for some time to come. Science.

  18. Yup
    We CAN adapt
    Limit water/heat breaks from people that pick your fruit, clean your houses, mow your acreage
    Good job, thus far

    Just run your AC if you have it and can afford to run it, and pray the grid does not go down

    This is what I hear from maga friends

  19. Sad for sea life. For us, we will live.

  20. Global warming is real MAGA's!!!

  21. Just stop peeing in the water…
    Duh.

  22. Stop smoking crack to cool the oceans!!!

  23. Uh, is this good or bad?

  24. This is garbage fear porn, propaganda.

  25. The shrimp is already cooked just add old bay

  26. As a Dominican I can tell you guys this will probably cause more Hurricanes at the end of August.

  27. Well, at least the crab will come pre-boiled. Always find a silver lining

  28. who's the producer that gets paid high triple digits that came up with that bit. 3 hours to topple over? as opposed to my well understood norm of 1.5 hours of ice block toppling? This makes me route for climate change.

  29. News alert!Block of ice in 100 degree temperature melts.Looky there paaa it done melted.I ain't never seen nothing like it Jimmy Bob

  30. Good Lord! We’re in trouble. You think that would boil the fish! Texas Gov Abbott made it Law that workers in Texas NOT have a 20 minute water break! How evil is that? Putin dictator. Recall Abbott and DeSantis!

  31. May I serve as a volunteer to push Greg Abbot in his wheelchair to an open, exposed sunny asphalt parking space, with water bottles slight out-of-reach.

  32. But climate change isn’t real…..

  33. We're actually in a cooling period .Sorry.not really.

  34. The world is burning out of existence.

  35. Where all going to die! The end is near! Now give us more power and money!

  36. I was just out there. No it was not temp was 83 degrees

  37. So misleading . That water temp is probably at slack tide and in the flats and literally a stagnant 2 foot pond almost in the tropics . Cone on . Probably puts off heat from decomposition of seaweed and stuff too .
