I hate myself for saying this but the problem with this video is that people in the west are now used to seeing people in developing countries suffer. Impacts on western life would probably have more of a punch.
Those latter are occurring, though. Current estimates put the number of climate catastrophe refugees within the US, meaning US citizens who've been displaced, at just over a million people.
@@liamtaylor4955 blizzard of '78 has yet to be beat. That's the real problem: weather events in living memory may dwarf current ones locally. Climate is about trends, not weather. It's hard to convince people who have a memory of something worse that climate change is real. Xenia tornadoes in the 60s, the blizzard I mentioned earlier, to Hurricane Katrina. The recent hurricanes to hit Louisiana didn't breach the levies, so there's a false sense of security for the residents there.
Some people don't get it. Like we have had a really long cold winter and it now rains in summer. So the response from our upper middle class society is "what global warming? It's cold!"
For the west climate change started in Germany's flood with 200 deaths for me its typhoon haiyan with 10,000+ deaths
We will begin to take real notice when the people of the developing countries who are displaced by the impacts (agricultural, political, social) of climate change decide that their only alternative is to start walking north. It’ll make the so-called “refugee crisis” in W Europe and on the US border look like a minor excursion.

As a Kenyan i really feel because drought will be increasing in my country yet the situation is already bad
And now we have the polar opposite :/
A point none of these informative mini-documentaries miss out on mentioning: Average Global Temperatures during Ice Ages were merely 3-6 Degrees Celsius lower than they are today. A relatively small difference in global heat energy levels has a HUGE impact on the planet.
They don't mention it because is doesn't really add to the conversation. That point is made when talking about a 3 degree increase.
i can tell you about the documentary showing climate refugees in Bangladesh, since, i am from that part of the world and problem with Bangladesh is overpopulation and not enough land...cyclones AKA hurricanes are a seasonal phenomenon there and are essential for the monsoon to happen...cyclones have been periodically happening since forever...so flooding and high rainfall is a common occurrence. what is happening is these people are migrating to the mangrove forests in Bangladesh delta and cutting and clearing the trees. the mangrove forests AKA the "Sundarbans", are the largest mangrove forest on earth and the entire region of Bangladesh has subtropical climate having 90% above humidity, winter season lasts 1 month max....the region is the Indo-Gangetic delta also the largest delta on earth....the mangrove forests are the lifeblood of the region, now people are migrating there and cutting down the forest for agricultural land, fisheries etc....Now there is nothing to stop the full force of the seasonal hurricanes and it reaches inland....this is more to do with overpopulation and deforestation than carbon emissions of someone sitting in the US.....
It's not relevant as the cooling periods took place over hundreds of thousands of years so life had time to adapt - it's actually the rate of change of temperature which is more worrying. In the cretaceous period, global temperatures peaked at 15 degrees higher than today and there were temperate forests that stretched right to the poles. however, this increase took place over millions of years.
@@ambeshpratik8032 you have no knowledge about any weather phenomena...here you wrongly state hurricanes and rainfall happen due to evaporation from glaciers!!! what?...do you have any idea how the monsoon system works...monsoons originate on the indian ocean and move inland...its happening for millions of years..heavy rains and floods happened in india even in historical periods...pls get facts correct...its nothing to do with nepal opening floodgates!!,, the ganga river crosses into Bangladesh through india and its the farraka barrage which controls waters...the brahamaputra enters bangladesh through indian state of assam...where is nepal in this...the ganges carries the entire water of the indian monsoon in north india..plus its a scientific fact about sunderbans...and the role of mangrove forests in preventing hurricanes (its called by different names in different regions)...its the same phenemenon....you are completely wrong!!...hurricanes, cyclones,typhoons whatever you call them..they are all formed over the sea....i live in the regions and its an annual event....if you dont believe check the indian national meteorological organization's data...
@@ambeshpratik8032 hurricanes and cyclones are the same thing!!...pls study a little bit about this part of the world before attempting to comment....also i hope you also know how the IPCC had to retract their statement on Indian glaciers melting in 30 years....which was debunked by an indian scientist...i myself have lived through cyclone amphan....so i have more knowledge about the climate of region than you....So i just want to be clear.......i believe in anthropogenic climate change...but being from that region...its hard for me to blindly accept whatever convoluted logic is put forward in international media and to disregard what is happening right before my eyes....
World leaders should try to have their climate summit at the slums of climate refugees in Bangladesh, that should bring home the reality.

@@didforlove In the 1980s, it was discovered that CFC refrigerants/aerosols were depleting the Ozone layer, causing a hole to form over Antarctica. In 1987, 197 countries outlawed the production, import and sale of these CFCs as part of the Montreal Protocol.
When I was young, I would experience snow almost every year. Our garden would be a white winter wonderland on Christmas Eve. I would play in the snow with my father for hours. This was 30 years ago. Now it has been 5 years since we’ve last seen snow in the winter. The snow has been replaced by rain. Every year I keep hoping for that white wonder to return so that my children will get to experience that pleasure. This is just a mild change in comparison to the disastrous other consequences of climate change, but it still has a noticeable impact on people’s well-being.
Anecdotally I experienced the same thing. However, over the last 5 to 10 years it has reverted back. But maybe that's just my experience. Regardless, our emotional attachment to a "white Christmas" is no reason to deprive the globe of inexpensive, reliable energy and the economic growth that has kept you and I safe, and in fact even safer as time marched forward.
Where I live we get almost the same amount of snow.

Same (I mean, I'm 30 rather than 28, but that's not exactly that much of a difference) What frustrates me is a huge argument being used against actually doing something is "it's really difficult" or "it's really expensive" as though waiting around while you do nothing is going to make it easier or less expensive. The best time to act was in the past, the second best time is right now. And to be clear, I don't mean you or I as individuals, but governments who have the power to force industries to change. Sadly, when they could make a dollar today, industrialists would have no hamburger on Tuesday, to corrupt an old saying.
@@magnusbruce4051 it's because no country wants to lose their competitive edge and we still have ignorant world leaders more worried about other non existential threat. Our tribalism and selfishness will spell the end of most of our lines
The time to act was 30 years ago. They knew about this 70 years ago.
Just much much worse, and you will hear more for many years, whats your point
My grandpa told us that it used to snow in winters regularly in Uttarakhand at an altitude of about 800 meters a few decades ago. My father told me the same for some villages at 1400 meters some years ago. And now we don't see snow even at 1800 meters every year. Our village is at 1900 meters. We're worried for our apple, apricot gardens that wouldn't yield as much in near future.
Here in Delhi things are getting even worse 😄.
How old is your grandpa ?, best you look at the last 120 years of temperature data (homogenized), remember 30 years is a single segment of climate how many segments has your grandpa lived through ?
60 years ago I lived in San Jose CA. There were acres and acres of apricot, prunes, and cherry tree orchards. Now there are acres and acres of buildings, houses, and people.
@@garyi8284 Yes thats the urban heat island effect and it distorts the general land surface temperature data.
@@peterjones4180 There were days when the temperature was over 100 degrees even with all the orchards.
I live in Luxembourg and climate change is really noticeable here. A few years ago, during the night temperatures would drop to about -10 degrees Celsius, but now they barely drop to -5 degrees Celsius during the night. Also, snowfall would be very frequent and the snow could last for days, but now it is much rarer and even when it does snow quite a lot, the snow melts after a few hours.
That sounds like a huge improvement.
Euro-homos can't handle hot weather
I can't speak for other parts of the world but here in Phoenix we've had tremendous growth over the last twenty years. The city is spreading out into the desert. That means more paved roads, parking lots and buildings. This creates a heat dome or a heat island effect. Maybe it would be better for urban growth to go vertically instead of horizontally. The City of Phoenix started its Cool Pavement Program a couple of years ago. I'm hoping this program will mitigate the effects of our urban heat island.
Too late for cool pavements ! I was there 25 years ago and it was a cluster Phudge mess then! Phoenix is EFFED completely and those of you who stay are toast! Nobody will listen to people like me - they will keep having babies and expecting everything to work out just fine!
I agree with what you, the problem in the US is the suburbs, the sprawling. They need to build more vertically and make the cities more dense to avoid more roads, traffic jams, and leave alone the natural areas that should be reforest and keep them as natural forest preserves.
My mom is 73 and grew up in Mexico. She says she remembers how cold it was when she started going with family members (from childhood to teens) to the cemetery on November 2, Day of the Dead. She's also noticed how hot it's gotten the longer she's lived.
But even the people who invented all this say the temperature has only increased by 1 degree.
@@senseofthecommonman "But even the people who invented all this" No one "invented this": A mountain of scientific research demonstrates that human activity has caused roughly all recent global warming. "say the temperature has only increased by 1 degree." Depending on the starting point you use, it's anywhere from 1.1 degrees C to 1.3 degrees C, but that is about 2 degrees F, and the effects have been uneven. Thus, some places have seen little change while other places are averaging 6-7 degrees F warmer.
Wow indisputable evidence of co2 induced climate change. NOT!!!!!
@@kieranrhodes7086 Yes, in fact the evidence is overwhelming that our emissions caused all recent net global warming (over the period from 1880-2020). The 6th IPCC Report, prepared by hundreds of the world's top scientists, reviewed by thousands of other top scientists, and approved by all the nations of the world says the evidence is unequivocal that humans caused all recent global warming. Thus, in terms of the science, that debate actually IS settled. And unfortunately, rapid global warming and ocean acidification from our emissions are already degrading the health of Earth's ecosystems and pushing ecosystems closer to collapse. Some local ecosystem collapse has already been caused. Take care.
@@senseofthecommonman That is GLOBAL average measured by 1200 weather sites. Arctic is warming faster then anywhere else on earth and now massive fires occure in the summer in siberia. It also sees 100F heat waves.

If you are not a scientist, you have no business to CONCLUDE or IMPLY that it might already be irreversible. This will not affect the situation positively and might only cause hoplessness and negative outlook to this. First of all, what we should do is educate ourselves more on what impacts climate change and how we could help on the individual/personal level.

The “human-induced climate change” hoax is a trojan horse through which un-elected-aristocratic-globalist organizations, such as the United Nations, are attempting to seize totalitarian control over every minute detail of our lives, under the phony pretext of “saving the planet” from an environmental crisis that does not exist. Joe Biden is part of the group of the political puppets that is peddling the climate change hoax in order to acquire more taxes and facilitate the fake need to establish a personal credit score to control human behavior and to establish a carbon tracking tool to digitally enslave Americans into communism. It is that simple, as every Western country is doing the same thing. The Goal of Climate Change Pushers is to Establish Netzero: Netzero-is a scheme to tax everything that humans do. It means to have Netzero emissions, which means you can’t emit any carbon dioxide. Hence you can’t drive (this is why they are pushing the failing electric cars), you can’t fly a plane, you can’t farm, you can’t heat your home in the winter or AC cool your home in the summer-because it warms the earth they claim. It is a scheme using the fraud of climate change, the environmental crisis, to push for Netzero in order to save the planet. In reality, this is the excuse to gain total control over human reproduction and human behavior. What you can eat, what you can’t eat, what you can do, what you can’t do, where you can go, where you can’t go; it’s a total restructuring of human life: the Great Reset. They want this Netzero by 2030! It is a Trojan horse of taxes and control over the masses; do what we say, or pay!

Some studies show that we have already reached the 1.5 degrees as 1850's temperatures were measured in the northern hemisphere and not in the warmer southern hemisphere.
the temp increase will be much faster - the world's largest ocean shelf has 1200 gigatons of pressurized methane - the East Siberian Arctic Shelf. Just a 50 gigaton "abrupt eruption" will double the atmospheric temp. It could happen any time now.

I grew up on chicago. Lived in this area for over 60 years. In the past 15 years I've noticed that that it now rains in January and February. People in chicagonland now complain when we have a colder, snowery winter, like back in 2018 with a polar vortex. I point out that people became 'comfortable' with mild winters and that the normal winter was both far colder and wetter. With the rain in January I joked that it was either just weather or global warming. With each passing year I pointed out that it was most likly global warming.
I'm from Chicago. It doesn't really snow much at all anymore. 40 years old.
Climate has been a thing on this planet for hundreds of millions of years. You can't point to X amount of years within your lifetime and draw any concrete conclusions whatsoever, especially when you're confusing it with weather.
What? So what's your point?None of that made sense.
@@davidbrown-xk8zl perhaps I can translate for you. He is saying that when he was young, in Chicago all winter it would snow. It was rarely ever warm enough for rain in winter. Instead the whole area was blanketed with snow for months. But now it is the other way around. It is so warm that rain is normal in winter and people complain when it snows, because snow is now less common. They are not old enough to understand how much the regional climate has already changed since he was young. This is local evidence of Global Climate Change.
I remember, living in downstate Illinois, how bitterly cold were the months of January and February! Our pipes frequently froze and it was not advisable to be outside (waiting for my school bus), because I got frostbite every year. That 2018 Polar vortex was actually a flashback to me! Our winters are now closer to what is common in Portugal, wet and dreary with little snow.

An error with the documentary is that it spends too much time covering remote communities. It should've been made more relevant to the people who'd typically watch the video. As the delayers and science deniers often view climate change as something that happens only in distant countries and that impacts to their own regions will only be long into the future. With populations in India and Bangladesh having the highest levels of acceptance, of the reality of the climate crisis, of all countries in the world.
India & Banglasdesh are also growing their carbon production at the fastest levels. Everyone wants to 'save the world' until they need to turn off their air conditioner.
Agreed. People in Western countries need to realise that it’s going to effect us too. Crop failures in other countries means food shortages in western countries because we import a lot of our food
I think it is more a problem of impact. We are witnessing the greatest change in human history. We are lifting billions of people out of poverty into the middle class. It is hard to invest large amounts of money into a scheme that benefits places like Bengladesh and mddle America at the turn of the century, when the investment is to benefit people that will have the standard of living of the Netherlands. This process of upliftment will in only a few years generate the economic activity of twenty or so Americas. This is clearly not sustainable, but at the same time also clearly unstoppable.
The problem is that it's talking about the end of this century and by that time many people who are watching this video will be dead.
@@ryanward10 No, our air conditioning is not the problem, the last 200 years of western emissions are. The stock of CO2 we can emit is a gobal common and the western world has used most of it and is still using it. we have 250 million people who need basic amenities like 3 square meals a day and a decent living, we need the remaining stock of emissions to pull atleast some of them out of poverty.
people won’t listen until it’s killing them, just let people die at this point we deserve it.
New Zealand here...we have been getting wetter and warmer winters, the lack of snow pack has been more evident year on year, our glaciers are retreating faster and faster. Frosts used to be commonplace, even into spring and even a decade ago, now I can just about count on my hands the number of frosts we have each winter. Our summers are hotter and drier, spring is borderline non-existent. This year, I've been having to mow my lawn weekly since the beginning of September, when the ground should not be warm enough to sustain such growth well into October. We get more extreme weather events and cyclones travel further south from the tropics, in part due to weaker jetstreams as a result of warming, and they stay wetter and stronger due to warmer oceans surrounding us. The Tasman sea has been breaking record warm levels year on year in recent times. The fact that I've been able to witness these changes in my lifetime, and they only seem to be accelerating in the last 5-10 years to the point that it is as noticeable as it is, is absolutely terrifying. And the number of people who STILL think it's a hoax, even here in NZ, who voted in a Govt in our latest election who intend on doing nothing more than paying mere lipservice to climate and environmental issues just disgusts me.

The only way it will be resolved is if humans go extinct. We did this. We are the worse species to ever exists.
Human greed is the main reason for climate change. Governments from rich countries have plenty of money/resources to invest in renewable energy, but they choose not to because money is all that matters more than anything. Here in UK for example you can install solar panels on your home and buy an electric car. But guess what, both these options are absurdly expensive. If the government truly cared about reducing CO2 emissions then they'd encourage more people to use green energy. Overcharging to use renewable energy like solar panels and electric cars is a prime example of de-motivation.
it says something when even the economist is aiming messaging at climate change and the economist is at its heart a platform that cares about making money
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! This whole thing IS about making money!! Look at the predictions going decades back - we should already be underwater, everyone should be dead and the earth should be on fire. Funny how it never happened. 3ºC is nothing more than a possibility. If hot areas get too hot, then cold areas become viable. Look at Canada/Russia. Imagine 3ºC warmer for them - it'd be amazing.

Im a teenage Brazilian and I’ve noticed major changes in weather in São Paulo. I remember that when I was a kid, temperatures averaged from 18 to 30C throughout the year. These days we get temperatures ranging between 26 and 35, with some days going well into the high thirties, sometimes even forties. Our rain season has also changed quite a bit. We used to consistently get a lot of rain in the summer and spring, with winter being the driest season, this is not true anymore.

No. Heatwaves will not be the only consequence for Europe. This will be the least severe result and much more devastating will be extreme (flash) floods interchanged with catastrophic droughts and very unusual temperature/weather anomalies caused by disrupted jet streams. Also the rough weather will cause farmers to quit their jobs and the food prices will skyrocket. This in return will trigger multiple military conflicts throughout the world and mass migration (way before actual people displacement caused by climate change itself). Also many countries rely on nuclear power plants located on the seacoast or near other bodies of water on which they rely. Both the sea and sweetwater will become a danger to the facilities. But imo the worst consequence could be a civil war(s) caused by the crisis in Europe and other countries
This video here isnt saying it will be the only problem, its just homing-in on it for he dureaction of a video.
The house, job, drive back and forth model is not sustainable, but women see houses as security and guys love women.

There's so much this video didn't address: the effects on ecosystems and biodiversity or the increased dangers of diseases, for example.
The consequences of global warning are multifactorial. Amplification feedback loops are already kicking in and will be out of human control. Atmospheric CO2 has a half-life of centuries. When Thwaites Glacier goes in the next decade or two the proverbial s**t will have hit the fan.

Today in social science class my teacher discussed abt climate change and so I decided to watch some videos based on it and this was the first one that came up. I found all the info very intriguing up until they stated "too much water could be a problem too", this is what made me think of my country 'Fiji' which is basically one of the largest islands in the Pacific but compared to all the other developed countries, it is not much. Anyway, I thought "bro, have these guys heard abt Fiji? We're literally surrounded by water and sometimes it even comes inland " , next thing I know...Fiji pops up as the first example of "too much water can be a problem" and my heart stops for a few seconds. This is when I realized how serious this issue abt climate change is and that we all must take action immediately to prevent it from destroying our lives and our beautiful planet any further.

You don't need to be a scientist to understand how different the weather has changed from my experience of growing up, from a child to mature adult. That's pretty impressive bit of polluting which humans have manage to turn out in the space of about 300 to 200 years.
I'd say you do have to be a scientist or at least relatively up-to-date w/ science on the area. From gut feeling some people would say it's actually getting colder and whatnot, partly because regionally there may be even increase in colder temperatures due to "fragmentation" of polar vortexes. Not to mention cycles like el niño and la niña, which may influence wrong gut-feeling conclusions in somewhat shorter term as well. Of course, some people would exaggerate in the other direction, and some that it fluctuates wildly from time to time, but the long-term trend is really noticeable only when studying it, the actual temperature record. Sorry if I sound pedantic, I just like to be always wary of even minimal exaggerations because some of the denier types will often have some highly specific knowledge about certain places being colder and whatnot, or that temporary plateau/hiatus (1998-2013, per wikipedia) that happened for a little while, for nearly a decade if I recall.

It is sad to realize that the more vulnerable people on the planet already suffer while they have a way and way less of a footprint on this problem and cannot have a huge impact on on changing this problem. Meanwhile the people in the wealthiest countries don’t notice much and continue to live in and consume in the same level they are used to. While if they would even change a little bit of their behavior that would already make a huge impact and even more than the people who are more vulnerable to this problem. But sadly most of the people in 1st world countries see it as a fairytale and choose money and comfort over perspective and progression of an advanced society that can offer anyones basic needs.

Recap by Tammy AI
An important factor not covered in this film is that a 3C world is very likely to trigger a number of potentially very large, self-reinforcing feedbacks - in other words unstoppable once triggered. For example, the melting of circumpolar permafrost (releasing methane) , conversion of the Amazon Basin to a dry savannah ecosystem, the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves and ocean acidification is by no means an exhaustive list. And yet, despite this, governments still seem to be trapped in a dithering, lethargic state of procrastination.
Garbage The economist is a political propaganda mag as everyone knows >> So now for some reality >>There was a climate crisis that destroyed civilisations, and that was about 3000 years ago. It is an irrefutable fact that as CO2 levels increase then plant growth does also. CO2 at 1000ppm [ three times present levels] is possibly optimum for forests, agriculture, and deserts.. Commercial green houses use this fact for high yield and profitability If we could increase levels of CO2 to optimum levels of about 1000ppm the forests would flourish; the deserts would become productive; and the imminent destruction of agriculture now sought would make New Zealand even a greater major exporter of food ; plentiful for the world,. And of course human societies go well during the warm periods. Older people flock to warmer areas at retirement. The climate threat is a globalist scam to redistribute wealth upwards yet again. CO2 levels rise after warm earth periods not before as we are conditioned to think by the fraudulent climate control freaks. In any event human civilizations have always been more successful in warmer periods. Conversing with a luddite climate activist is like discussing physics with a frog.
The positive feedback loops seem to me to be the most important part of the dialogue. Well stated and spoken. This freight train is speeding over the cliff.

the issue isnt so much individuals as it is corporations
The problem is our economic well being depends on the super-consumption style we live in, which is killing the world itself. And of course the sheer numbers of humans alive today ! I think the world will remove us eventually & get on with supporting the creatures that live in natural ways & can adapt. There have been other eras on this planet before, so we should not be surprised if there is a totally different one developing - caused by our own stupidity !
This is far too understated, both in timings, such as ‘by the end of the century..’, and impact, giving the overall impression that it will be the third world that will experience significantly suffering, and that adaptation is feasible.
So how can we, as individuals, act now? I don't want any negative comments here, please remember that for some people this issue causes major despair and intense fear. Now is the time to come together and not attack one another causing more anxiety.

yes, so live in the pod, meat the bugs, own nothing, and be happy! come on man, just do it! for the planet! don't be a BIGOT
By that time the most rich and intelligent will have left planet earth.
Humans will go extinct long before last of any life disappears.
wow. did you invent that incredible saying?
I know that it might seem mean or selfish but it's simply fact. People don't care about slums in Dhaka or minor countries like fiji. While its sad that this happens, northern Germany/Poland and half of Italy sinking underwater will make quicker change than if the entire coastline of indonesia goes underwater. It's the way things are.
Lets hope severe natural disasters hit countries like North America and western Europe Amen
@@Emsyaz that depends on which North American country. If it hits somewhere like Belize or The Bahamas not many would care. But a major or geographically important country the US or Panama will make the world panic. Deniers will probably still find ways to turn it into a conspiracy theory however.
@@wildsideofthings7733 am sorry, but why is Panama important? I dont know. Just asking to learn.
@@amalebowskye the Panama Canal. It transports a large portion of the worlds goods and since the US contractually made it (or atleast finished after the French gave up) they make a large profit from it. It cuts costs and with the Suez Canal is the most important on Earth.
@@wildsideofthings7733 oh thank you. That makes a lot of sense, coz I was confused how is the country Panama that important.
I’m from NYC and the hear hasn’t hurt us that bad YET. I hate the heat.
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to a gradual rise in temperatures. The main contributors to global warming are: 1. Burning Fossil Fuels: The combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas for energy, transportation, and industrial purposes releases large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. 2. Deforestation: Trees absorb CO2, so the loss of forests contributes to increased CO2 levels as fewer trees are available to absorb the excess carbon dioxide. 3. Agricultural Activities: Livestock farming, particularly cattle and sheep, produces methane through their digestive processes. Additionally, certain agricultural practices release nitrous oxide, another potent greenhouse gas. The consequences of global warming are far-reaching: 1. Rising Temperatures: Overall temperature rise affects weather patterns, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves, storms, and extreme weather events. 2. Melting Ice and Rising Sea Levels: Higher temperatures cause polar ice caps and glaciers to melt, contributing to rising sea levels. This threatens coastal communities and ecosystems. 3. Ocean Acidification: Increased CO2 levels also cause oceans to become more acidic, endangering marine life and coral reefs. 4. Ecosystem Disruption: Climate change disrupts ecosystems, affecting plant and animal species, potentially leading to extinction or migration of species to new areas. Addressing global warming requires global cooperation and various mitigation strategies: 1. Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power can significantly decrease CO2 emissions. 2. Afforestation and Reforestation: Planting trees and conserving forests helps absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. 3. Energy Efficiency: Implementing energy-efficient technologies and practices across industries and households reduces overall energy consumption and, consequently, emissions. 4. International Agreements: Global efforts such as the Paris Agreement aim to unite countries in their commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting global temperature rise. Each individual’s actions, from reducing personal energy consumption to advocating for sustainable practices, play a crucial role in combating global warming. The scientific consensus underscores the urgency of taking immediate and collective action to mitigate the impacts of global warming and safeguard the planet for future generations.
I ain't reading all that
The fact that we get free documentaries on KZhead by The Economist is truly a gift 👍 👍 👍
No, because the reporting does not mention what the developed countries are doing to the worlds. SWF, parts of California will be under water. The extreme weather on the west coast, draughts, fires, etc.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 climate change clown.
Yes you get lied to for free instead of having to pay for it.
Im from Montreal Canada and I remember as a kid we used to get super cold winter that goes up to -37 celcius and is usually around -28 celcius. Now winters can barely reach -34 celcius and the temperature is now around -24 celcius. Summer temperatures didn't really change, but the felt temperature tends to get higher each year due to the higher humidity and summer rains are getting heavier and less and less frequent. We used to have a decent spring (a bit over 2 month) and now spring barely last a month at the expense of winter lasting for a longer period of time. Someday spring would just become a myth of the past with winter temperatures lasting 5-6 month, summer lasting around 3 month and autumn lasting a bit less then 3 month.
@Valerie Daryl hope all is well, should be fine if you wear sunscreen and stay hydrated. Thankfully we don't have the summer as worse as many parts of tbe world although the humidity is just unbearable sometimes. And is just going o get more and more humid.
@@grimjawx1650 You're not the only one. I'm from Europe, 48 years old and quite observant. Been really noticing the change since the heatwave of 2003 and it seems to increase since 2016. It's going way to fast to attribute to natural fluctuations, like scientists confirm. And it seems to get more extreme than the most negative models from the early 2000's. Heatwaves with peaks over 40 degrees on northern Europe. Drying streams in the summer, disastrous floods in fall, winter or spring. More and more intense storms. The weather feels of which my rational mind translates to 'The climate is changing' and fast.
It is what it is. Adapt. Survival of the fittest.
And someday the "Climate Crisis " will be a myth or hoax depending on your political perception...
So from your anecdotal local evidence we're heading towards another ice-age?
they really need to say that 3c = 5.4f. an american can tell you theres a difference between 70f and 75f. the former is whats used for summer and the latter for winter. but we most commonly hear about the 1.5c limit and because we use f, nobody thinks its a big deal because the difference between 70 and 71 to us is slight
Prior to covid the hottest recorded temperature in the UK was 35.2 degrees. It has risen by an astounding 5 degrees to 40.2C in just 4 years, and every single year since covid has given us temperatures higher than the previous highest recorded temperature. I would also like to point out that this highest temperature ever was on a freak day on 1990 some 33 years ago and outside of that one day, the second highest recorded temperature was 32.9 degrees. Peak temperature is a solid EIGHT POINT 3 DEGREES warmer than just 4 years ago. You can see just in the weather patterns alone just how much the climate has shifted radically in just those few years alone, the UK is entering into a climate of monsoon summers which is absurd for a country that has never experienced summer with many days over 25 degrees. Our society is not built to cope with the heat or the humidity that comes with such rises in temperature, and the short term fixes that we use to try to curb our ever sweltering living conditions are notorious for contributing seriously towards greenhouse gas emissions themselves this exacerbating the problem we try to fix even further. While it is very apparent that climate change has come home to roost even at home, it is nothing compared to entire countries that will be underwater if global temperature rise by another degree. It is almost definitely too late to save the inevitable slide into disaster we have set course on, melting ice sheets mean rising water levels and less heat reflection from the surface causing more melting. We are doomed to a 3 degree world, and we should be so lucky if it stops there before trying to right itself back to equilibrium.
BS! prior to Covid, not sure of your connection there, the highest recorded temperature was 38.8 degrees
plus, you ignoramus, if the ice sheets melt. the sea level will drop. Ever heard of Hydrostatic pressure?
I'm here after the news about the scientists doing protest. Well I think it's time to re-learn & equip myself with knowledge coz it's frightening enough seeing scientists do a protest. We don't see that everyday
Came to this after watching “Don’t Look Up.” We must take action on Global Warming. You only have to see how much people’s ignorance to the facts and data proved overtime in the film, it correlates to world leaders, highlights the civilisation. The temperature in December is currently 13 degrees in what is meant to be Winter. It is rising and it is serious. I am 21 and I don’t want this to impact mine and others futures. It’s utter selfishness
Ok. Lets pretend you're right for a second. What shall we all collectively do? I can appreciate your passion and concern for our futures, but what would you like society to do? What would you like the result to be? And how do we get there? Also, who is being selfish, and why do you think people are being selfish? What have you read or seen that is being presented to you as hard facts that you believe people have the control to change anything? These are all sincere questions to you based on your concerned comment.
@@markbrowning4334 Read Hickel's article on de development. I'm assuming you're from the west. The TL;DR is that you should slow down the rate of consumption so businesses would be forced to produce less, giving other countries and the planet some breathing room. This also allows other countries to properly develop so they can switch from currently cheap, but environmentally destructive energy sources into bio-friendly alternatives without overloading the planets biocapacity.
@@rndmcreater That all sounds great in theory.....it really does. However, go tell any big business to slow down and see where that gets you. Go tell China or Russia to start following the same EPA guidlines that everyone else tends to hold to and see where that gets you. What your suggesting works perfectly on paper. Unfortunately, the world is horribly imperfect.
Same here Elizabeth. That movie moved me. I hope we all can help together. There's still time.
dont worry about it, global warming is insignificant and not caused by humans, its caused by greedy people trying to sell you products like solar panels and electric cars. your future is looking better if you ignore the fake facts and news. just remember its all centered around making you buy greenwashed products which in the end does increase pollution but does not alter your climate, be it tropical or temperate or even arctic. the earth doesnt have a climate. it has many climates. its something big media will never say because climate change is a GLOBAL SCAM.
it's sad that there is so many people who deny it's happening because it doesn't happen to them personally,
Population control will reduce carbon footprint significantly, though consumption will go down , bussinesses have to adapt. This is the primary solution for most of our problems.
I agree but the big cooperations want us to have more children I feel like I shouldn't have brought mine into the world when the future is so unstable
@@emilywright3454 It's not the big corporations. It's the government that wants you to have more children in order to prop up the economy.
I think they should show how it could affect the first world specifically the US because many Americans don't care especially if the weather seems normal. But here's how. New Orleans could be underwater, the mega drought could make the desert Southwest unlivable or Atleast become the new rust belt. The South will face dangerous heat and wet bulb temperatures, agriculture could be decimated by the mega droughts of the west and the places that aren't as affected will become very expensive that it could could many social problems.
If it does happen it's nothing less than the US deserve! Highest historical co2 emitter. Numerous studies on how co2 warms the atmosphere came out in the 70s and 80s. Big oil/corporate America covered up the facts and lobbied the government. A lot of men and top shareholders became very wealthy, but at what cost. All they cared about was money. Now the chicken's are coming home to roost. If only some of those funking scumbag denialists were still alive to feel the effects!
And the solution to every problem is give the government more power or that is what they want
Agree, and I don't think showing these poor areas are suffering from climate change can make people take action after they close this video. If they don't realize this knife will cut in their own skin someday they will just keep wasting and polluting.
all were supposed to be underwater 40 years ago lol it is all a scam
Maybe this is why refugees from all over the world are flooding into the West?? The land/countries they've left behind, are now prime real estate for the super rich.. And.. Tell the super rich corporations to STOP stealing trees from the Amazon on a massive daily scale?? They've been doing this since the mid 60s which must mean there are very few trees left?? Makes me wonder if there's any truth left in anything other than Corporate Greed?
I live in the 2nd driest State in the US. The Governor asked residents to let their lawns go brown. The vast majority did not. The homes here keep getting bigger. More packages on the porch means more stuff. I have a neighbor who once he starts his diesel truck just let's it idle - he never turns the engine off. We want tech, billionaires or the gov't to save us. No personal responsibility.
I hate it when people let their vehicles idle for no reason, but I think when it is a diesel engine it is better to let it idle rather than turn it off or turn it on constantly. Although I may be wrong on that.
Tax pollution (greenhouse gas emissions) to stop it; the power to tax is the power to destroy. Heard this week one fuel company was for carbon taxes because they knew it would never pass, but they could use it in their publicity. If we had $5/gallon gas it might be time to retire leaf blowers and stop a lot of lawn-mowing. Idling and unnecessary trips might stop. The problem is too big for just some individuals reducing their energy consumption, just like the number of vegetarians hasn't significantly reduced average meat and fish consumption.
My continuing gripe. No one takes responsibility for themselves! Well, most do not. I agree.
which state is this?
@@howardian8829 Most likely somewhere in the Western US (Arizona, Nevada, California, those are very dry states)
Complex multicellular life emerged 1,2 bln years ago (so it's basically time for it to create sentient human) Before sun gets too hot for life to exist (don't mistake with sun becoming red giant), we have 500 mln years in the future (and in 600 million, something with carbon happens) So if humanity dies out, life may not have enough time to evolve sentience again and save itself.
Finding some sort of technolology that can cool down the atmosphere seems like the only solution to me. If human civilization are able to warm up the atmosphere, why should'nt mankind be capable of the opposite.
