Climate Justice addresses fairness (which is a legitimate concern), but it does absolutely *NOTHING* to reverse Climate Change. Climate Justice is hijacking international cooperation and negotiations. Climate Justice is a distraction that is making the Climate Crisis worse.

or rich enough to not feel the effects. the saddest thing is that the best way to hedge against the coming climate crisis as an individual is to get rich, keeping yourself safe while accelerating the destruction of everyone else.
Progress is moving so slowly because most people in power, like CEOs and politicians, are old. They'll be long dead before they need to confront the consequences of their own actions, and thus, their eyes are only laid upon money. I expect to see the rate of climate progress slowly get faster and faster as older leaders die and are replaced with new ones who WILL need to face the climate crisis. Political and economic action is miserably slow right now, but I don't think it will stay this way for much longer.
@@turn_the_cheese_upsidedownyou think so? Just look at the upcoming generations they're least concerned. Atleast in my countries old leaders are more upfront for reforms in the climate crisis.
“Global warming” cannot be taken literally; it is not just about temperatures getting warmer. The biggest impact of global warming on humans is actually that the greenhouse effect intensifies the instability of the global climate system, thereby greatly increasing the occurrence of extreme weather. For example, the super cold wave will appear in central Canada, northern United States and other places in February 2023. Super heavy rains occurred in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China in July 2023. The most severe sustained drought on record occurred in the Brazilian Amazon from July to September 2023. So for the sake of your own life, start paying attention to environmental protection.
One of the biggest impacts will be that will not be able to afford nor have the time to manage catastrophes. Flooding, wildfires, hurricanes could happen so frequently, that they will outpace our ability to adapt.
Unfortunately, we are just too overpopulated to be able to turn back now. There are already news reports saying how bananas and other fruits and vegetables are becoming harder to grow because of extreme weather and heat waves. It would take the majority of people to protest and be on the same page, but most people just don’t get involved, and it’s too overwhelming for them to think about climate change. The sad part is we have the technology and ability to change things but people just don’t care enough to try and really push for change
@@Bookhermit I completely agree. When I talk to ppl about it they don’t see the issue, they think we have enough land, but it’s not just about land. It’s about the pollution we produce and the amount of food and water required for such a large population.

Remember, it doesn't do any favours to the world if you become too panicked or give up hope or go the opposite route and think this video exaggeration and dont fight enough. We need to be cautious. But we cant give up hope, for if we do, we might as well die now.
There is exaggeration. These ‘predictions’ are all subject to error, massive data unknowns, assumptions, interpretations and reinterpretations by ‘experts’ and laymen alike - and they are not absolute.
The more I hear the more I just want an empty life so I can die peacefully without worrying about the future for any family. There’s been times I would have liked to have children, but if they are anything like me they will worry about their future prospects too much. What happens to us is out of our control, and realistically we’re not going to turn this situation around without conflict and disasters making it happen. Current global leaders aren’t doing enough and in certain cases making life a lot worse. Fundamentally we need suitable weather for farming and living, and if the climate becomes more unpredictable it will create a lot of hardship and no easy solution. Yes life will go on, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
I do my part, not because it will necessarily make a difference, but because at least my hands will be clean when children 30 years from now ask us why we didn't do anything to stop it.

Actually if they were taxing rich people and companies higher it would make a real difference as if you for example look at a relatively rich country like Sweden the difference in emissions between a normal person and a rich person is that on average rich person is responsible for 47 times the emissions, now if you raise taxes on companies especially big ones so that they pay as much as the rest of us pay in income taxes then we would easily have the money to build upp infrastructure and change the systems necessary btw I'm a former conservative who has realised that the longer we wait the more expensive to try to fix or mitigate.

I think the biggest mistake we made is thinking that we still have time. I live in the middle of europe and anyone can tell how much the weather is changing. And I'm still very young so I really don't want to imagine what the future is going to look like. I'm honestly so scared for all of us. I don't have any hope until we actually start cutting off emissions. But when is that going to happen...
Stop being scared and start thinking for yourself. The only thing you should be afraid of is how these climate extremists control practically the whole world with their false propaganda. If all mankind vanished tomorrow climate change would continue. The 97% consensus is a lie. Real scientists know the idea that humans are the primary driver of climate change is ridiculous.
Bruv I'm 21 and i'm already expecting to never retire. Our system as we know it will have to change radically to support all these pensions so... yeah my hopes arent high.
I hate the fact that some kids/teens are trying to do things about this, and other people aren’t listening, saying that we are young, and we don’t know much. And the fact that they aren’t listening is not much for them, as they have lived around like 30-60 years already. But us? we are still in our teens, and what they will experience soon enough is not going to be as major and bad as what us 2000s with experience. What this video has explained is not as bad as what others predict is going to happen. She didn’t take into consideration that there may be more and more wars going on when people want to save their homes. What will happen to Gaza? All the tiny little islands? Anyone know what is going to happen to Australia? At this rate, will Greenland melt too?
We are already facing the effects of climate change in a major way. Winter this year has been absolutely haywire so I am afraid that there isn't much time left, if any.

The worst part of climate change is that the first people to be hurt will be those with the smallest margins and minimal safety nets, people like subsistence farmers and reef fishermen. Meanwhile, people in the U.S. will still be complaining about "high" gas prices (that are still lower than what most of the world pays), emissions regulations, "unsightly" wind turbines and solar farms, and refuse to participate in international agreements in the name of national sovereignty. And before someone tries to claim that China and India are bigger problems, India consumes less than half the energy the U.S. consumes, despite having more than four times the population. China does consume more energy than the U.S., but the U.S.'s per capita consumption is more than 2.5 times higher; most of China's energy goes to the industrial sector, while less than one-third of U.S. energy goes to industry, and the U.S devotes more one-quarter of its energy to transportation, which is a small sliver of China's energy usage. Yes, China and India have serious environmental issues to contend with, but the U.S.'s contribution to emissions is very disproportionate to its population, so it has a disproportionate responsibility to combat climate change.

You missed the entire point. And CO 2 is good.... very good. NOAA Reports a 15% greening of our entire planet in the last 20 years. It's only going to get greener. NOAA couldn't deny it when their reports actually show the deserts benefiting and greening the most. I just want the truth.
There are 147 fires in 13 states in Mexico right now. Most of the country doesn't have water. The president built a train for which MILLIONS of trees were felled. Temperatures in February, in Mexico City, soared to 30°C... No, the video is not exaggerating.
The video is blatant techo-optimist propaganda. The situation is much worse than presented. No more than 6% of UN climate scientists even believe 1.5C is possible, which isn't surprising since we're well over 1.5C already. Emissions are at record levels, if your projections are showing a decline then your assumptions need to be examined!
We are all gonna die, but I am willing to bet our ancestors went through even more terrible plagues than this from small pox,economic depression heck even genocides.Still they found a way to adapt and trust their successors to do the same for us.

These bodies that we live are fleeting but it's not the end, it's the beginning to something bigger that yet to be explained."Lossing all hope was freedom"
@@joelalala4789 cool. The issue is more how rapidly the climate changes, and how fast the plants and animals can adapt. If you lose too many species then nature does weird things, and you can ask farmers about the crazier weather making farming much more difficult.
It's nice to be optimistic but not this time. Adapting climate change, AI, wars, and present regimes... requires a radical transformation in our day to day life. I think no better solution could be taken other than focusing inward not outward.
Well. Stop putting comments on TH-cam videos... Which indirectly adds to carbon in the atmosphere, and start doing something instead of complaining. People have been predicting for decades that we'd all be dead by now.

Love that you still follow the optimistic time frames for temperature rises, instead of the more realistic ones where opec and tipping points bring the rises much sooner.
Yep. Let's keep deluding ourselves... as our cities burn and billions become climate refugees in the next 20 years they'll still be telling us everything is okay.
@@ecognitio9605 we averaged it globally for the year. But we touched above globally for periods of time during the year, and well above in local regions average annual temperature anomalies.
It's still not as warm as the Holocene climate optimum. During the Roman warm period, there were vineyards in Britain. Still too cold there to raise grapes. During the Medival Warm period, there was agriculture in Greenland. Still to cold to farm there.
@@calvinroyals6463 don't confuse local maxima with global maxima, there's a big difference between the hottest my hand has ever been and the hottest my body has ever been. The difference between burning your finger and dying of heat stroke.
And this is the projection only if our models are correct. If there exist any tipping points, such as the permafrost melt or the change in ocean currents, that we haven’t accounted for, the projections are too optimistic
It has in fact gotten "fixed." The problem is that it will still take 20-30 years to get back to pre-1980s levels. It was an easy fix, too. This is a LOT more complicated. A lot of countries other than the U.S. won't take steps, and Democrats simply won't consider: like nuclear energy or completely cutting air travel. Without an advocate from both parties, we're just going to keep complaining while things get worse.

❗️It's very easy to lose hope but there is still time to stop the worst from happening! If we don't do anything now, this will be our future, but if we take action we can at least decrease the consucuences

"ambulances will siren through the night for people with heatstroke" assuming that healthcare doesn't just completely breakdown or start ignoring people with heatstroke cause they cant handle them all. As other people have mentioned this would very likely cause wars, mainly over water resources but also for actual land you could live in.

A couple years ago it reached 40 degrees in Canada on Vancouver island. This may not sound like a lot to hotter countries but to the people and animals here it was devastating. Fish floated dead in lakes, people left water out for birds and wildlife which struggled not to die on the side of the road from the heat wave. It was bad for the people too, who are accustomed to ranges of -10 to 20 degrees Celsius. A significant portion of our seniors could not cope with the sudden change in temperature and died. Hospitals were overrun by the younger generation which did not die but still suffered heat strokes due to not everyone being able to afford a/c and biologically not being climatized to such high temperatures. (We are talking about people who go around in shorts in 5 degree weather, they’re used to producing and retaining heat, not dispersing it.) It was a record breaking temperature for the area. It could have been a freak incident but if we continue as we are I’m sure eventually it will be normal and we will lose a large fraction of our wildlife. If the change happens to quickly we may continue to see people die because they simply can’t cope with a temperature flux that far out of their bodies normal.
And in the summer of 2023, Canada caught fire. Here in Rhode Island, we had about six weeks of smoky hazy days from the fires up north. Unfortunately, carbon stays in the atmosphere for about 600 years (science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/greenhouse-gases/the-atmosphere-getting-a-handle-on-carbon-dioxide/), so even if we managed to stop carbon production right now, humans would be living with a radically changed climate for about half a millennium.

The only thing I disagree with this video is that we still have time to stop this. We don't...We sat on our asses and lost already. At best we can minimize the effects of what's gonna come and adapt, but untolds amounts of suffering will prevail for a long time, as birth rates continues to decline everywhere and more and more people decides to not have children, given the conditions. Here in Brazil, we are having some previews of the shitshow that is come, a record breaking dry season with tons of fires happening everywhere on the country, and the flooding of Rio Grande do Sul...and the current projections are not reassuring in the slightest. I'm glad I didn't had children, and I'm looking to get a vasectomy.
We will NOT avoid this future. Avoiding this future depends on everyone working together. We will not. A significant chunk of humanity is against taking appropriate action. This will happen. Plan accordingly.
There was another time of great drought in the United States during the depression. It is depicted in John Steinbeck’s book “The Grapes of Wrath”. We will always have challenges in this life. It saddens me that the younger generation feels there is no hope. There is always hope. We must ensure the fabric of our society is not destroyed. Having a safe society is the most fundamental need for having a secure future.
In fact the droughts in the 1930s were far far worse. As a matter of fact: droughts, floods, hurricanes, tropical storms have not increased. This from several sources including NOAA and the IPCC. Something pointed out by many. Not a very convenient truth for alarmists..
Concrete is said to be responsible for 4-8% of global CO2 emissions. We need to re-adopt building with sustainable materials, like bamboo and sustinable timber. It is both asthetically and environmentally better for the world.
Consider promoting passive heating and passive cooling designs with any person with power and influence. *Get some heavy hitters like C.O.G Coal Oil Gas* but small wins are good too.
I kinda had an anxiety attack watching this, specially because what's happening in Brazil right now (search Rio Grande do Sul State And news). Damn....
thank you for creating this. we need more people prioritizing this issue. i understand its difficult as people are most concerned with their monthly bills and raising children. But at least having a conversation about the issue and all coming to an agreement that we need to do something. i think the fact that the future seems to bleak and that the only solution is to modify our lifesyltles such that we cannot have such luxuries as kept this in the back of everyone's minds. hopefully we can all take action before irreversible damage is done.
I do a lot of research and watch many documentaries and the news and we like to have this optimistic outlook on climate change but we are doomed. Even with renewable energy sources and electric vehicles, we don’t take into consideration the mining required for it. For instance, I made a video on the effects of mining, and mining for these minerals destroys ecosystems and pollutes water. Sediments dissolve into the water and a lot of sea life dies in the water, becomes unthinkable because of pollution.
imagine doing this and still assuming the same neoliberal society would persist with its countries, governments, schools and grocery stores and such. That's ideology. You live in a regime that is contingent on historical material circumstances. Historical conditions change and the regimes change also.

Its sad how in climate predictions like these, those that are the most affected are usually the most disadvantaged countries. Whereas 1st world countries and such "can" still find means to work around the climate crisis. Really shows climate change isnt just an environmental problem but also a socio-economic problem.
@@Solar.Geoengineering.Advocate I agree yes. Individually, first world countries can't solve the climate crisis as a whole. It takes a collective effort by nations worldwide and putting all the pressure on them simplifies the problem at hand.

Nothing in this video was said about the leading cause of deforestation, ocean dead zones, and animals extinction: Animal agriculture, which also contributes with at least 20% of all emissions.

The government should really take this very seriously or we would suffer the consequences when the time comes. Further actions needed to be done and this has to be made viral.
We've only known about industrialism causing climate change since 1880s. Can't say we weren't warned. People just chose short term gains for long term pains.
Wrong. They did learn about 'urban heat' caused by paving roads and many roofs reflecting the sun. Urban heat has gotten worse over the last 100 years. This is why many of us live outside of hot cities. I am 30 miles from a hot city and it is 5 to 10 degrees cooler here.
@@central3425we should be heading for an ice age in next 10000 years. Due to the earth moving away from the sun. Due to humans now unlocking huge amounts of carbon at a fast rate . The planet is heating due to the carbon balance swing. So no ice age now predicted.
Ok watching this was my most challenging task of the day the emotional intensity of the reality with this crisis is tough but important to hear and share with others so we can try do our part, if not governments

Also in 1970, the Boston Globe ran with a chilling headline, “Scientist Predicts A New Ice Age By 21st Century.” In the associated article, researcher James Lodge warned, “Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century if population continues to grow and earth’s resources are consumed at the present rate…” The reality is none of these experts can predict the future. The Earth and its weather patterns/climate are driven more by natural occurrences in nature than man. The Earth’s tilt on its axis changes over a 23,000 year cycle that dramatically impacts the impact of the sun. The sun changes. The Teutonic plate of the Earth continue to shift. Volcanoes happen. The oceans absorb and release CO2 in a pattern that is not fully explainable. All these things impact the Earth and its climate yet there are always the Chicken Littles yelling the sky is falling and if you will give us enough money we will fix it. Complete arrogance of man.
The Earth has actually gotten 15% greener since 2000. Plants and trees are thriving and soaking up the increased CO2. This climate change is another money grab from the citizens by politicians and governments.
That was not a consensus of the majority of the scientists who study climate. It's also disingenuous of you to ignore or omit the impact that Industrial industrialization has had on the earth for the past two centuries
I think what you are trying to say is that though we can give predictions, it is impossible for humans to know the future for sure. there are too many variables to consider to completely eliminate uncertainty. and I agree.
I am a student who lives in Korea. As you can see in the video, when climate change becomes serious, things that will happen to us are very scary and scary. We should try to prevent climate change as global citizens living together on one planet. Our small actions will create a great miracle.
This is really best case scenario at this point. So much energy spent on watering down the grim reality. Start telling the truth, even if populations will stop participating in the unsustainable system at hand, for the love of everything, tell the truth.
Its too late. Unless we all cut down fuel, energy completely mothing is going to change. The inevitable is going to be delayed thats it. If from tomorrow we all stop using vehicles, turn off factories, return to farming, barter system may stop the problem.
All the optimism at the end can now be negated with the re-election of Trump. Drill, baby, drill. The yacht class will be fine, but the rest of us are doomed.
The "possibilities". Everything is "might", "could", "possibly". The endless climate mantra: "Just you wait, it's going to be bad, you'll see". Repeat decade after decade in perpetuity.
This scenario largely assumes a modern world dropped into the climate of 2100. I assume not including technological soultions was a deliberate choice. Advances in automated farming, vertical farming, and precision fermentation could circumvent the food crisis.
Who is going to pay for that when we have to spend literal trillions to keep our infrastructure intact. Even now climate change costs us collectively billions, every, single, year.
Six months after this was posted, we've already blown through 1.5 degrees of warming. 2 degrees C looks like it will be here far sooner than 2050. We are already experiencing many, if not most, of the effects this video highlights. Perhaps it's a bit too optimistic? Time to get ready if you can.
we’ve only had it for 23 and 24, it requires a consistent 1.5 degrees warning to actually reach that. we may have a few years soon that reach 2 degrees but that doesnt mean average warning will be that

Yes, apart from the evident climate change we are experiencing other dooms as well. Rise of AI, advancement of quantum computing that might make our existing cryptography and softwares a joke, population outburst, shortage of water, shortage of infra, etc. Well before 2050, the majority of unprivilged ones will begin to suffer.
this is very optimistic... looks to me we have massive food shortage, many unlivable parts on earth and catastrophic situations in the seas in 7-15 years.
The Arctic and Antarctica are already unlivable. Nobody ever cared about this. Agricultural output continues to grow. There is no evidence for your prediction. Predictions have been made and failed for 44 years now.
Many unlivable parts on earth? What parts? I disagree that we have a massive food shortage, there's is food shortage in certain countries but it's due to wars or corrupt governments/dictatorships (in my opinion)
Why is the need to reduce consumption of animal products not mentioned?? Shifting towards a more plant based diet would reduce greenhouse emissions significantly.!
I think the video is not quite accurate since it shows climate change just as an inconvenience on the lives of people of developed countries. The fact is that one of the first things it will disrupt is the global economy. This means that all the globe will feel the consequences almost equally. Although it sounds worse, the bright side is that it will force the economy and the rich countries and the companies to finally move their asses in an effective way. Not just bullshitting with the current green washing. So, in the end, i believe we won't reach this scenario. The disrupt in the economy and pocket of the rich world will prevent it.
I think this video is overly optimistic. To anyone reading this, think about the people you know (friends and family) and the people you run into in life. How many of them are concerned with global warming. Hardly any; they don't know, they don't want to know. Now think about the political sphere. The Right wing and At- Right are ascending. Personally there are some things I actually agree with, like enforcing border controls or keeping Islam at bay, but on global warming, they (the alt-right types) are global warming deniers. They don't believe it is hapenning, or if it is, it's no big deal. Now think about the fossil fuel companies and fossil fuel nations. Do you think they'll ever walk away from the greatest source of wealth the world has ever seen. I don't think so. It's great to see electric cars and the rise of solar etc, but I suspect it's all "greenwash." It's still just a drop in the bucket.
I may not be perfect but have changed to protect earth and provide my child some future of not seeing certain plants/trees and animals in museums. in my 40’s and sucks seeing ppl in charge of politics not care.
For the last three years we’ve had “heat waves”. It just changes locations. I remember growing up in the south, and it was called a heat wave when it got above 90 degrees. Now that’s common temps in August.
America is the greatest country in the world arguably but the people are resilient and surely wise enough to know what is happening and which oil corporation is pulling string on politics to deny climate change.
And you're not taking into account the wars that might occur because of those crisis
I mean water wars almost started last summer, this summer I think is going to be the turning point.
Fleeting glaciers of Himalayas could spark water wars between three nuclear nations of China, India, Pakistan...

Exactly. When infrastructure collapses, governments will have less power. In 2080, there may not even be a United States for all we know.
Very true. The Syrian Civil war has been going on for almost 15 years and started in part because of a huge drought in the region.

Progress is moving so slowly because most people in power, like CEOs and politicians, are old. They'll be long dead before they need to confront the consequences of their own actions, and thus, their eyes are only laid upon money. I expect to see the rate of climate progress slowly get faster and faster as older leaders die and are replaced with new ones who WILL need to face the climate crisis.

“Global warming” cannot be taken literally; it is not just about temperatures getting warmer. The biggest impact of global warming on humans is actually that the greenhouse effect intensifies the instability of the global climate system, thereby greatly increasing the occurrence of extreme weather.
For example, the super cold wave will appear in central Canada, northern United States and other places in February 2023. Super heavy rains occurred in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China in July 2023. The most severe sustained drought on record occurred in the Brazilian Amazon from July to September 2023.
So for the sake of your own life, start paying attention to environmental protection.
One of the biggest impacts will be that will not be able to afford nor have the time to manage catastrophes. Flooding, wildfires, hurricanes could happen so frequently, that they will outpace our ability to adapt.
Unfortunately, we are just too overpopulated to be able to turn back now. There are already news reports saying how bananas and other fruits and vegetables are becoming harder to grow because of extreme weather and heat waves.
It would take the majority of people to protest and be on the same page, but most people just don’t get involved, and it’s too overwhelming for them to think about climate change. The sad part is we have the technology and ability to change things but people just don’t care enough to try and really push for change
We are also in near-total denial that overpopulation is the central cause, so it can only get worse.
@@Bookhermit I completely agree. When I talk to ppl about it they don’t see the issue, they think we have enough land, but it’s not just about land. It’s about the pollution we produce and the amount of food and water required for such a large population.
and yet agriculture is a growth industry. amazing
Fact: a plant based diet uses significantly less water and produces significantly less emissions than an omnivorous one.
@cosmiccontent28 @Bookhermit
Overpopulation is not an issue. There is plenty of resources available for everyone that exists and will exist.

The more I hear the more I just want an empty life so I can die peacefully without worrying about the future for any family. There’s been times I would have liked to have children, but if they are anything like me they will worry about their future prospects too much.
What happens to us is out of our control, and realistically we’re not going to turn this situation around without conflict and disasters making it happen. Current global leaders aren’t doing enough and in certain cases making life a lot worse.
Fundamentally we need suitable weather for farming and living, and if the climate becomes more unpredictable it will create a lot of hardship and no easy solution.
Yes life will go on, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Just like your comment
Actually if they were taxing rich people and companies higher it would make a real difference as if you for example look at a relatively rich country like Sweden the difference in emissions between a normal person and a rich person is that on average rich person is responsible for 47 times the emissions, now if you raise taxes on companies especially big ones so that they pay as much as the rest of us pay in income taxes then we would easily have the money to build upp infrastructure and change the systems necessary btw I'm a former conservative who has realised that the longer we wait the more expensive to try to fix or mitigate.

The worst part of climate change is that the first people to be hurt will be those with the smallest margins and minimal safety nets, people like subsistence farmers and reef fishermen.
Meanwhile, people in the U.S. will still be complaining about "high" gas prices (that are still lower than what most of the world pays), emissions regulations, "unsightly" wind turbines and solar farms, and refuse to participate in international agreements in the name of national sovereignty.
And before someone tries to claim that China and India are bigger problems, India consumes less than half the energy the U.S. consumes, despite having more than four times the population. China does consume more energy than the U.S., but the U.S.'s per capita consumption is more than 2.5 times higher; most of China's energy goes to the industrial sector, while less than one-third of U.S. energy goes to industry, and the U.S devotes more one-quarter of its energy to transportation, which is a small sliver of China's energy usage. Yes, China and India have serious environmental issues to contend with, but the U.S.'s contribution to emissions is very disproportionate to its population, so it has a disproportionate responsibility to combat climate change.

A couple years ago it reached 40 degrees in Canada on Vancouver island. This may not sound like a lot to hotter countries but to the people and animals here it was devastating. Fish floated dead in lakes, people left water out for birds and wildlife which struggled not to die on the side of the road from the heat wave. It was bad for the people too, who are accustomed to ranges of -10 to 20 degrees Celsius. A significant portion of our seniors could not cope with the sudden change in temperature and died. Hospitals were overrun by the younger generation which did not die but still suffered heat strokes due to not everyone being able to afford a/c and biologically not being climatized to such high temperatures. (We are talking about people who go around in shorts in 5 degree weather, they’re used to producing and retaining heat, not dispersing it.)
It was a record breaking temperature for the area. It could have been a freak incident but if we continue as we are I’m sure eventually it will be normal and we will lose a large fraction of our wildlife. If the change happens to quickly we may continue to see people die because they simply can’t cope with a temperature flux that far out of their bodies normal.
And in the summer of 2023, Canada caught fire. Here in Rhode Island, we had about six weeks of smoky hazy days from the fires up north. Unfortunately, carbon stays in the atmosphere for about 600 years (science.nasa.gov/earth/climate-change/greenhouse-gases/the-atmosphere-getting-a-handle-on-carbon-dioxide/), so even if we managed to stop carbon production right now, humans would be living with a radically changed climate for about half a millennium.
I remember those days. I used to walk 45 minutes to work in that heat. Sadly, I don't think it's going to get any better 😢
We won’t be here by 2050. It’s painfully, gut wrenchingly obvious.
Too much too soon.
We are already far ahead of where I thought we would be in 2024.
Sadly, it seems so. There’s not gonna be a happy ending like in the movies.
We can go to underground bunkers

What I don't get is how it's a crazy conspiracy theory that the floo was used as a method of control by elites, the beta test (no pun intended). But a different set of elites wanting the end of the world = not a conspiracy theory.

I think we can all agree that the issue is not what could happen if we decided to do nothing…but what is going to happen now that we’ve decided to do nothing…the funny part is we have driven the car of humanity off the cliff, and we still have people arguing that there is no cliff…time to wake up and pee the worlds on fire
The only thing I disagree with this video is that we still have time to stop this.
We don't...We sat on our asses and lost already.
At best we can minimize the effects of what's gonna come and adapt, but untolds amounts of suffering will prevail for a long time, as birth rates continues to decline everywhere and more and more people decides to not have children, given the conditions.
Here in Brazil, we are having some previews of the shitshow that is come, a record breaking dry season with tons of fires happening everywhere on the country, and the flooding of Rio Grande do Sul...and the current projections are not reassuring in the slightest.
I'm glad I didn't had children, and I'm looking to get a vasectomy.
We will NOT avoid this future. Avoiding this future depends on everyone working together. We will not. A significant chunk of humanity is against taking appropriate action.
This will happen. Plan accordingly.
There was another time of great drought in the United States during the depression. It is depicted in John Steinbeck’s book “The Grapes of Wrath”. We will always have challenges in this life. It saddens me that the younger generation feels there is no hope. There is always hope. We must ensure the fabric of our society is not destroyed. Having a safe society is the most fundamental need for having a secure future.
In fact the droughts in the 1930s were far far worse. As a matter of fact: droughts, floods, hurricanes, tropical storms have not increased. This from several sources including NOAA and the IPCC. Something pointed out by many. Not a very convenient truth for alarmists..
China and other countries laugh at us for all the money we waste on global warming. Just saying....who are the real fools? 🤔🤑🤮
Concrete is said to be responsible for 4-8% of global CO2 emissions. We need to re-adopt building with sustainable materials, like bamboo and sustinable timber. It is both asthetically and environmentally better for the world.
Consider promoting passive heating and passive cooling designs with any person with power and influence.
*Get some heavy hitters like C.O.G Coal Oil Gas* but small wins are good too.
EV production will represent that same percentage in a few years too, very carbon heavy manufacturing process.

You should have mentioned how diet impacts the climate. It's a major source of emissions.

People need to stop eating baked beans.
I kinda had an anxiety attack watching this, specially because what's happening in Brazil right now (search Rio Grande do Sul State And news). Damn....
Our global population will decline and that means we will use less resources
thank you for creating this. we need more people prioritizing this issue. i understand its difficult as people are most concerned with their monthly bills and raising children. But at least having a conversation about the issue and all coming to an agreement that we need to do something. i think the fact that the future seems to bleak and that the only solution is to modify our lifesyltles such that we cannot have such luxuries as kept this in the back of everyone's minds. hopefully we can all take action before irreversible damage is done.
3rd world countries don't give a fk about climate change
I do a lot of research and watch many documentaries and the news and we like to have this optimistic outlook on climate change but we are doomed. Even with renewable energy sources and electric vehicles, we don’t take into consideration the mining required for it. For instance, I made a video on the effects of mining, and mining for these minerals destroys ecosystems and pollutes water. Sediments dissolve into the water and a lot of sea life dies in the water, becomes unthinkable because of pollution.
0:59 I think that this stuff would be so common, that it’ll hardly even make headlines in general.
imagine doing this and still assuming the same neoliberal society would persist with its countries, governments, schools and grocery stores and such. That's ideology.

The production and consumption of fossil fuels is currently at a record high. And according to the planned investments, even that record will be exceeded tomorrow. With 8 billion people, the future does not seem bright.
Its sad how in climate predictions like these, those that are the most affected are usually the most disadvantaged countries. Whereas 1st world countries and such "can" still find means to work around the climate crisis.
Really shows climate change isnt just an environmental problem but also a socio-economic problem.
It's also a real lack of Justice, crazy that the companies have gotten away with this for this long.
i wouldn't be so certain that first world countries can find ways around the climate crisis at all. in fact i doubt it.
Brilliant
@@Solar.Geoengineering.Advocate I agree yes. Individually, first world countries can't solve the climate crisis as a whole. It takes a collective effort by nations worldwide and putting all the pressure on them simplifies the problem at hand.
In spite of this however, some first world countries like the US and European countries /can/ find means to mitigate the effects of climate change in their country (eg. elevated housing or building dams against rising sea levels), which is something that third world countries prone to flooding like the Philippines and Indonesia don't have
@@albertcabuang6655 we, the world will have to do solar geoeingineering. amongst other things. theres no other way we get through this century
Investing further into nuclear and ending the oil and coal lobby is one of the biggest steps we can take away from climate change.
Those who don’t want to see will not see. Most people live as though they are immortal until the day they die.
The climate change effects finally hit my hometown and state in the very south of Brazil. Here in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, entire homes are completely underwater. It's like a war scene in the entire state.

One thing that stood out to me was the focus on renewable energy and how critical it is for shaping a sustainable future. It made me think about how our everyday choices now, like reducing waste and supporting green technologies, can contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
Nothing in this video was said about the leading cause of deforestation, ocean dead zones, and animals extinction: Animal agriculture, which also contributes with at least 20% of all emissions.
0:38 I'd hate to be the pessimist here, but I'd say we continue as is, we're well out of time
This knowledge must be spread and concern across the world to every single individual as soon as possible or the nature will make sure that everyone will know in the end
The impacts of climate change are already upon us, with this year’s erratic winter serving as a stark reminder.
I’m concerned we might have very little time left to act..!

We've only known about industrialism causing climate change since 1880s.
Can't say we weren't warned. People just chose short term gains for long term pains.
Wrong. They did learn about 'urban heat' caused by paving roads and many roofs reflecting the sun. Urban heat has gotten worse over the last 100 years. This is why many of us live outside of hot cities. I am 30 miles from a hot city and it is 5 to 10 degrees cooler here.

Recently, the calamity that happened in the Phillipines is yet another example to a huge list. And we still have people of power in the strongest, most affluent countries in the world that deny climate change and refuse to invest in technological infrastructure to improve anything.

Also in 1970, the Boston Globe ran with a chilling headline, “Scientist Predicts A New Ice Age By 21st Century.” In the associated article, researcher James Lodge warned, “Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century if population continues to grow and earth’s resources are consumed at the present rate…” The reality is none of these experts can predict the future. The Earth and its weather patterns/climate are driven more by natural occurrences in nature than man. The Earth’s tilt on its axis changes over a 23,000 year cycle that dramatically impacts the impact of the sun. The sun changes. The Teutonic plate of the Earth continue to shift. Volcanoes happen. The oceans absorb and release CO2 in a pattern that is not fully explainable. All these things impact the Earth and its climate yet there are always the Chicken Littles yelling the sky is falling and if you will give us enough money we will fix it. Complete arrogance of man.
Well said. Fear mongering
The Earth has actually gotten 15% greener since 2000. Plants and trees are thriving and soaking up the increased CO2. This climate change is another money grab from the citizens by politicians and governments.
That was not a consensus of the majority of the scientists who study climate. It's also disingenuous of you to ignore or omit the impact that Industrial industrialization has had on the earth for the past two centuries
Car enthusiast trying to defend their gasoline car:
I think what you are trying to say is that though we can give predictions, it is impossible for humans to know the future for sure. there are too many variables to consider to completely eliminate uncertainty. and I agree.
I am a student who lives in Korea. As you can see in the video, when climate change becomes serious, things that will happen to us are very scary and scary. We should try to prevent climate change as global citizens living together on one planet. Our small actions will create a great miracle.
This is really best case scenario at this point. So much energy spent on watering down the grim reality. Start telling the truth, even if populations will stop participating in the unsustainable system at hand, for the love of everything, tell the truth.
*Sniff* This video really upsets me. I just hope we fix this pollution problem soon. I don't want it to get any worse.
World leaders are using "thoughts and prayers" system to fix this :)
Its too late. Unless we all cut down fuel, energy completely mothing is going to change. The inevitable is going to be delayed thats it.
If from tomorrow we all stop using vehicles, turn off factories, return to farming, barter system may stop the problem.
@@notmewooshme9916 Car enthusiast crying in the corner.
We’re currently 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, not 2 degrees. Although 2 degrees is rapidly approaching.
All the optimism at the end can now be negated with the re-election of Trump. Drill, baby, drill. The yacht class will be fine, but the rest of us are doomed.
Let's not forget about the feedback loops which are accelerating greenhouse gas emissions. Man has very little control of this.
The "possibilities". Everything is "might", "could", "possibly". The endless climate mantra: "Just you wait, it's going to be bad, you'll see". Repeat decade after decade in perpetuity.
Ah nostalgia. Takes me back to the 80's when we saw the same "film" in high school predicting 2000.
In the 70's they showed us a film on the impending ice age. All starting with "scientists say".
During COVID lockdown England had clear clean sky! I wonder 🤔 why
This scenario largely assumes a modern world dropped into the climate of 2100. I assume not including technological soultions was a deliberate choice. Advances in automated farming, vertical farming, and precision fermentation could circumvent the food crisis.
Who is going to pay for that when we have to spend literal trillions to keep our infrastructure intact. Even now climate change costs us collectively billions, every, single, year.
And then you get Trump. Thats it. That’s the end.
We will probably live in a dystopian future, where everything doesn't matter as long as life goes on.
It will only be dystopian if the climate zealots achieve their destructive goals and eliminate fossil fuels without a replacement.
Six months after this was posted, we've already blown through 1.5 degrees of warming. 2 degrees C looks like it will be here far sooner than 2050. We are already experiencing many, if not most, of the effects this video highlights. Perhaps it's a bit too optimistic? Time to get ready if you can.
100%
we’ve only had it for 23 and 24, it requires a consistent 1.5 degrees warning to actually reach that. we may have a few years soon that reach 2 degrees but that doesnt mean average warning will be that
It already crosses 45 deg in Delhi
Now more issues
1. We might start living in bunkers due to uncontrollable AI
2. Unstable govt due to less and less job opportunity
Who knows what else ...
The video suggests that we have till 2050 to worry about the 1.5c mark, we passed that last summer. This summer might see us pass 2.0c.
Yes, apart from the evident climate change we are experiencing other dooms as well. Rise of AI, advancement of quantum computing that might make our existing cryptography and softwares a joke, population outburst, shortage of water, shortage of infra, etc. Well before 2050, the majority of unprivilged ones will begin to suffer.
I'm surprised we can still remain optimistic in the face of climate change
Watching this after the 2024 US presidential election and feeling utterly defeated. Trying to keep
Hope
this is very optimistic... looks to me we have massive food shortage, many unlivable parts on earth and catastrophic situations in the seas in 7-15 years.
The Arctic and Antarctica are already unlivable. Nobody ever cared about this. Agricultural output continues to grow. There is no evidence for your prediction. Predictions have been made and failed for 44 years now.
Many unlivable parts on earth? What parts? I disagree that we have a massive food shortage, there's is food shortage in certain countries but it's due to wars or corrupt governments/dictatorships (in my opinion)
Why is the need to reduce consumption of animal products not mentioned?? Shifting towards a more plant based diet would reduce greenhouse emissions significantly.!
Bsc nobody wants to eat green
I think the video is not quite accurate since it shows climate change just as an inconvenience on the lives of people of developed countries. The fact is that one of the first things it will disrupt is the global economy. This means that all the globe will feel the consequences almost equally. Although it sounds worse, the bright side is that it will force the economy and the rich countries and the companies to finally move their asses in an effective way. Not just bullshitting with the current green washing. So, in the end, i believe we won't reach this scenario. The disrupt in the economy and pocket of the rich world will prevent it.
So you think we'll all be dead first by the collapse of global international trade and thermonuclear war? Probably true.
I think this video is overly optimistic. To anyone reading this, think about the people you know (friends and family) and the people you run into in life. How many of them are concerned with global warming. Hardly any; they don't know, they don't want to know. Now think about the political sphere. The Right wing and At- Right are ascending. Personally there are some things I actually agree with, like enforcing border controls or keeping Islam at bay, but on global warming, they (the alt-right types) are global warming deniers. They don't believe it is hapenning, or if it is, it's no big deal. Now think about the fossil fuel companies and fossil fuel nations. Do you think they'll ever walk away from the greatest source of wealth the world has ever seen. I don't think so. It's great to see electric cars and the rise of solar etc, but I suspect it's all "greenwash." It's still just a drop in the bucket.
I may not be perfect but have changed to protect earth and provide my child some future of not seeing certain plants/trees and animals in museums. in my 40’s and sucks seeing ppl in charge of politics not care.
For the last three years we’ve had “heat waves”. It just changes locations. I remember growing up in the south, and it was called a heat wave when it got above 90 degrees. Now that’s common temps in August.
America is the greatest country in the world arguably but the people are resilient and surely wise enough to know what is happening and which oil corporation is pulling string on politics to deny climate change.
It sad that this is probabbly one of the brighter possible futures
This is getting off real easy. The real outcome will be much worse I'm afraid
