Happy new year, Global weirding, and thank you for keeping us focused on climate change threats with your effective communication. Special thanks for the skyer at 5:30, a nice way to remind me that artificial snow is not a long term solution for sky towns. I even suggest you all to visit those places in summer, when they open the trences for maintenance, to see the dimensions of the pipeworks put in place and imagine the power request to keep it running when the snow season is scarce.
Thank you for all your work, Katherine. I live in Chicago and can verify from experience that agriculture is taking a hit from heavy rains. Less food in my community farm share.
Hi Katharine - thanks for your great work. and Happy New Year. In a previous video you noted that the earth should actually be in a cooling phase as it slowly heads towards the next ice age. I have a couple of questions: a) What is the gap in temperature between where it 'should' be vs where it is now? b) Why do we not use that as a baseline reference point instead of a particular year?
Thanks for your questions MegaRooikat and sorry for the delayed response. I'm forwarding your inquiries to Dr. Hayhoe and will let you know when she responds. You may also be interested in our Facebook Live Q&As we try to schedule every other week with Dr. Hayhoe. You can follow us on our Facebook Page, Global Weirding, to stay updated on those events.
Hi again MegaRooikat, Katharine Hayhoe will go live on Facebook to take questions tonight (Jan. 23, 2019) @ 11:30p.m. CDT if you'd like to join. You can join the discussion on her facebook page, or on the Global Weirding facebook page.
L Voss 1 month ago (June '19) "More rain is good for us farmers on the northern plains..." I do not believe that you are a farmer. So many farmers are suffering horribly this year. Too much rain, too cool temps for too long. When to plant? Do we even try to plant or are we better off taking the crop insurance? These decisions have been made by now, the correct one won't be proven until the fall. At least I'm in WI, we got to skip all those tornados and the worst of the flooding. Still, hay is twice the price this year. Not so good, eh?
Hasn't climate change been happening for a couple of decades already? Why do so many people talk about it as if it is something in the future? Wouldn't that strengthen the believe it can be avoided? Or worse the believe to wait and see if it is happening at all? Kind regards, Susanne
Hi Susanne, Yes! climate change has been happening and people have been acknowledging it for decades. However there are several reasons, and a long history leading to it being considered a "hoax" by many. Fortunately that mentality is shifting, but there's still work to do, which is why we wanted to produce this four-part series that examines how people in the U.S. are experiencing climate change here and now. Thanks for your question, and check back for our new episode coming out tomorrow!
@@fefifofob Look, it probably makes sense to the other person, and your comment does sound a little weird saying “send money now”. I wouldn’t call it “useless”, though.
More rain is good for us farmers on the northern plains, it is also good that the climate is warming for us because the growing season is longer and we can plant more crops. I'm not saying that climate change is good, I'm just saying that it has some positive impacts on certain areas.

Thanks for watching Lorenzo! And thank you for the suggestion!

The volume is way too low

This episode was surprisingly terrifying 😰

It's an emergency. Send money now.
What a totally useless comment!
I wish I could watch at the moment it makes sense to you.
Oh I know EXACTLY what your comment is insinuating and hence how idiotic it sounds.
Did you notice the part about 'when it makes sense to you?' That hasn't happened yet.
