Gustaf Hugelius, Professor at the Department of Physical Geography and Vice Director of the Bolin Centre of Climate Research, gives a talk about the global carbon cycle, how thawing permafrost affects the global climate, ecosystems and Arctic peoples.
Host Paul Glantz, Associate Professor
Department of Environmental Science
can you have Natalia Shakhova on the ESAS "abrupt eruption" of methane? It's already emitting MORE than the northern thermokarst lakes.
@@dp-kz5csshes a methane producer
Void is yin? Yang void is in yang? What about the pudding tang?😅
@@rdallas81 you try those pull over back exercises?
Good to hear what actual studies are telling us about current & predicted changes in permafrost
super fascinating
We are soo going extinct 😅
Yes, I think it's inevitable now. Too many people in denial, too many believing it's not their problem, too many think that sorting things into the right recycling bins is all they need to do, and too many have given up. Far, far too few engaged in doing anything positive. And really, the politicians are to blame. They had the power to change the way businesses are run, manipulating taxes to hit those companies that take off to poorer countries with few or no environmental laws, there to pollute as much as they like. The power production companies have been instrumental in bribing, sponsoring and even supplying politicians to influence governments. Most people, especially in the West, have had no choice but to live in a way that's destructive, and it is very hard work (or expensive) trying to cut down on emissions and sequester carbon yourself. These feedback loops are scary, and I think there may be other consequences scientists are not yet aware of.
We're probably not, but a lot of people are going to die, and no government in the world is actually invested in fixing the problem. If you want to be one of the people who survives, it's on you to figure out how to make that happen.
While I agree with what is being said. People are not talking about how the sun's activity is affecting the earth and other planets. We are not talking about the Earth's natural cycle of warming and cooling. This has been shown in core samples, why is it always about human actions. Methene has more CO2 and so has the permafrost. Governments point the finger at us but fail to point out natural cycles.
Auto-generated cc really isn't up to the task for any sort of scientific material. Your speaker was speaking from written notes - please provide competent human-verified cc on your vids so we can follow what's being said here? This subject is too important to leave to the vagaries of auto-generation!
