I live in a country with a relatively stable weather, so during my childhood, episodes from cartoons like this one, dealing with heatwaves, seemed like a distant reality to me.
Sure, the show is told from the perspective from very imaginative babies, so the paralels between being stuck in the desert during a heatwave was probably intended to be something light-hearted back then.
Nowadays, with the awful heatwave taking place in Europe and North America in the year 2022, even charming episodes like this have become a grim reminder of the reality of our world due to climate change, and how the world might be broken beyond repair because of the greed of the fossil fuel industry, which are slowly turning our planet a living hell.
We either fight back or we are doomed. There is no way to "adapt" to mass-extinction, no matter what the eternal denialist claim.
