On Saturday, August 5, 2026, the beloved children’s program Sesame Street aired a new episode that took a close look at how rising temperatures pose real threats to the world we live in.[1]
Warming Threats Take Center Stage
The episode opens with a segment featuring Elmo and the Gears, who explain that warmer weather can lead to heavier storms, flooded playgrounds, and the shortening of the growing seasons for farm animals.[1]
Kermit the Frog then shows a short animation of a heat‑wave and tells viewers why a hotter planet means longer, more intense heat spells in cities across the world.[1]
No Usage of the Phrase “Climate Change”
Despite the focus on real‑world implications, the episode never states the term “climate change.” Instead, it refers only to warming, heat, and storms as a manner of speaking.[1]
