They know, they will soon die anyway. All the rich people are old. They don't even care about their own children, because they have lost hope. They imagine the worst outcome possible and simply accept it. Yea. That's what you get with this new world order. And the pollution doesn't slow down what so ever.
And if you'd think humans will choose technology that pollutes less, you are mistaken. Yet again we could choose for example Salt batteries, which have less capacity and less lifetime than those solid state ones. But humans will always choose what generates the biggest profits. Yet again humanity will choose technology that pollutes (because lithium is very reactive and thus burns as it degrades or as it's damaged). Never, ever fu*king expect humans to go the slow and green path. It just won't happen. I even dare to say it can't happen. Greed is in the way.
And from another perspective they'll tell you that there is no more time left, so we are forced to do it quick, the greatest change of our species in terms of technology. No more time left for the slow and green path, which is ironic.
The sad reality is that most humans think of "life" as human life. They believe that the Earth is their birthright as human beings. They fail to honor and recognize the fact that they are merely one aspect of an interwoven symbiotic complex of ALL living things. I know that many contemporary humans consider the Gaia Principle as being "woo-woo" but I believe that that outlook is our fundamental flaw, homo sapiens "achilles heel". Gaia is ready, willing and able to spit us out like a mouthful of bad food.
It is odd considering the spiritual connection we have with dogs and cat. We should be able to make the elementary jump to kinship with all life. Instead we still treat them as property.

I’m in a part of South Asia that has this week been about 11 degrees F above the 50 year average each day. I suspect 2024 is going to be much worse than 2023.
And 2024 Much worse than 2024; and 2026 Much worse than 2025....................... There will be no food for 6 billion people in 2027.....How long does it take to starve to death? 2 months? 2028 = Earth will be a pretty lonely place for humans......Who will man the 429 nuclear plants in 2029 when most people have starved to death? Will Elon and Jeff go down to the plant and keep the electricity flowing to cool everything, every day for the next 25,000 years?....NO? Oh well, who needs an atmosphere anyway. DONE
From 1972 to 1975 I lived and worked at the northern end of Baffin Island in a settlement called Arctic Bay. Just 20 years later I learned that they were experiencing mud everywhere. Something I had never seen during my time there. Today it is even worse.
Have you ever asked how much the sea level has actually risen? Let's ask NOAA... The answer is less than 3 millimeters per year... Here is the Proof look up your own location .. look at NOAA tides and currents sea level trends
@@gadabout694AI Overview Learn more … The global average sea level has risen 8-9 inches (21-24 centimeters) since 1880. In 2022, the average sea level was 4 inches (101.2 mm) higher than in 1993, setting a new record high. The rate of sea level rise has been accelerating, increasing from 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year in the 20th century to 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006-2015.
If you use a 200-year running average, we've only increased by like 0.4°C! Nothing to worry about folks 🥴 Seriously, civilization will have collapsed before 2°C is recognized if we stick to a 20- or 30-year running average. Using that metric is just another way to delay action and protect moneyed interests at this point
Regina is spot on regarding a loss of hope. The cloud brightening from CEF was such a hopeful session with an estimate of 250 million a year as a really worthwhile shot at limiting warming. I'm back to feeling depressed when I hear Israel using military costing $200 million an hour. Thank you for the soberinh reality check. I appreciate the CEF teams ongoing dedication to the truth however painful it is to hear ❤
Ah, but prophesy must be fulfilled. The firey abyss awaits to make us all one again. It was never meant to be serious. Have fun. Don't worry about the future. The future can care for itself.
It is more than 1.5C past the actual baseline of 1750. The baseline was moved to later on the basis that measurements were more accurate after 1850. What a tragic and base betrayal. When are these discussions going to relate to the measurable and ongoing catastrophe in the biosphere? Not a word about the savage decline in insects and plankton - the base of the food web - with obvious consequences for larger animals including us. Meanwhile, the precariousness of food production increases with now both amount and nutritional quality of crops declining. It is absolutely time to prepare for imminent impact. Rationing food now would be a sensible start.
No actually, China adds for carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides through burning nearly 500 million tonnes of coal annually, over 50% of the global total. Far more than all military emissions combined.
Woolly mammoth in every room. We are utterly hammered by news coverage of war and hateful, vitriolic politics while the planet itself barrels toward ending. Anyone ever wonder who controls this lens? The almighty corporations. Brainless. The rich, I suppose, can survive in some kind of weird isolation, but how fun can that be?
Global temperature was about 0.2 C warmer each year of WWII. Our bombs are stronger, warming the atmosphere more, and are delivered with rockets, warming the atmosphere warm. The other difference is that we have 420 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. 6 years of 0.2 C increase would create 1.2 C increase just from the warfare. [Clearly I have no hard data on how much heat Gaza and Ukraine could have actually contributed. Anyone have some hard numbers?]
Suggest that they might want to change their therapists and/or whom they socialize with? ...Which - the latter - they are indirectly/passive aggressively doing. I find it critical for my own sense of sanity to grasp that motivated reasoning is an evolutionary adaptation that informs the refusal. A trusted - personal and socialized - experience of homeostasis informs the irrationality of the various aspects of hopium that are crutches to maintain socially accepted 'sanity'. "Crazy" is a socially defined concept⁉
They’re not able to function if they accepted the truth. It’s a coping mechanism to reject the information. The best you can do is value and appreciate each day and all that it provides. You can’t afford to lose your peace when you are the very one who has done the emotional and physical work to be conscious of these things. There’s many many people who feel the same things and they are doing their own part in being better people. You’re not alone! 🫶
i've always thought that the only thing to make people care about this is will be when there is no food in the shops.... glad to hear that from the experts.
As Howard Scott the founder of Technocracy Inc. said “the impetus for social change is inversely proportional to the distance between the stomach and the backbone. “ The worst people to operate a high energy technological society are economists and politicians. The economic system model is contrary to physical reality and politicians main function is to maintain the non reality status quo.
@@sedonars1 looks more like 6 if you use 1750 baseline, i mean at 3c to 4c it will be really kicking in on food supplies , it will be interesting to note end of this year where we are , it may give us a better time scale
Good stuff. Next up, consider your food, water, and air. Also, my solar panels are 15 years old and definitely give me less power than they did when they were new, so I reckon the 25 year life span I was told when I bought them was probably accurate. Check how long your panels' manufacturer says they'll last?
Changing the system to eliminate GHG production and then removal will immediately RAISE the temp by 1.5c. It would fast track us to +3c. We are in a predicament, not a problem with solutions. All solutions proposed are akin to the 60s school drills for A bomb attacks- completely useless to assume a wooden desk will protect you from radiation! THERE ARE NO good choices; whereby business as usual turns out to be the most benign. That is how far we have over shot "window of hope".

Wonderful video, albeit with very sobering facts. I am slowly moving from being collapse aware to embracing collapse acceptance and our not so bright future. Glad I made the decision years ago to not have children. Report downloaded to my laptop so I can read and reflect as needed. Thanks for all the work you do to make this information more readily accessible for everyone.
The problem with this entire situation is science itself. There is so much variation in these discussions that no one knows what to believe anymore. We have crossed the 1.5°C threshold. That’s not even enough to debate anymore except from the paid climate scientist who stuffed their pockets with blood money. They will say anything to keep their job. You have those people saying that nothing’s gonna happen for another 60 to 80 years and then you have those on the other side talking about how bad things really are. Here’s the biggest problem of all. Most people don’t see what’s coming. People will look at millimeters of sea Level rise and think to themselves that’s nothing. People will look at 1.5°C and think that’s nothing. I don’t see any big changes in the weather. I don’t see the ocean being higher. The mentality is if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. I don’t even talk about this issue anymore because I’m constantly made fun of and called chicken little acting like the sky is falling. I have been laughed at and ridiculed. Nothing has happened because they see nothing that’s tangible.. data on paper means very little. These are the reasons why nothing will be done. It’s already too late and it’s just going to get worse but until people get to experience what worse case scenario is, they’re not going to believe you. Unless it affects me personally, it doesn’t exist. This is an egocentric selfish point of view, which most Americans are!
Tell your naysayers that sea level has risen four inches since 1993 and the rate of rise has doubled since then, according to NASA and the World Meteorological Org. Then give them some stats from NOAA: High tide flooding along the American south and Gulf coasts is up 400% and 1100% respectively since the year 2000. Maine, which is uplifting land from glacial rebound, suffered a record high tide in January that caused $100 million in damages. The City Dock neighborhood of Annapolis is submerged underwater 60 times a year now. Meanwhile, New York and Louisiana have a combined $100 billion in new flood mitigation projects in the works. Not for shits and giggles, I assure you.

The horses are well down the road already, while politicians listen to low scenario scientists saying "we've only got ten years before the horses leave the barn!"
Just how much can WE change Global Warming? Let’s do the calculations! Have you ever asked, “How much global warming has there been since the START of the industrial revolution?" Ask Google, Ans from NOAA: “1°C since 1750? So how much change is that a year in °F 1.8F/272 years = 0.0066°F /year How much is actually caused by the USA? OK let's ask Google, Ans: 27% So the USA has caused (27%) * .0066° /year or .0017° F /year. Have you ever asked what is the half-life of CO2 in the atmosphere? Ans: 120 years WOW!! By using NOAA’s historical records after reaching NETZERO in the USA, the MAXIMUM change expected in global warming is -.0017°F /year And it will take 120 years to realize reduction of -.00085 °F Now Ask: what's the cost to reach NETZERO? Ans: $4 trillion a year for the next 30 years or $120 trillion. Have you ever asked how much the sea level has actually risen? Let's ask Google The answer is less than 3 millimeters per year... Here is the Proof look up your own location .. look at NOAA tides and currents sea level trends
Most people who start to engage with what's happening develop crippling anxiety and depression in response and have to back out to protect their sanity. There's no point in us being nasty about them doing what they need to do to be able to get out of bed each day.
What can I say, the oil industry has done a great job using the same lawyers and logic that the tobacco companies did. They denied global warming at first and now agree that it's real but shifted the blame saying warming cycles are natural or even good. Just enough deflection to keep the public off their back and dependent on them at least until maximum profits are extracted. Wait until things get bad enough that much of the infrastructure has been destroyed and many crops can't be grown, they'll be forced to accept a reduction in profits at that point. But as long as shareholders are happy now, it doesn't matter how far reaching the consequences are.

Just met SCAN (Seniors for Climate Action Now) at the local Barrie Ontario Farmers saturday market (City Hall). Good to see them motivated and concerned for their children and grandchildren. Had a great Vegan Smashburger at the market too! What potentially is the near term impact of the 'runaway' record sea temperatures in the atlantic for us here in Canada (and the world)? Thanks for what you all do. Big fan of Paul.
Unfortunately no amount of climate activism is going to save us now. We've had 50 plus years to fix things and collectively we didn't do a damn thing, all the important feedback loops are in motion and it's only going to get much worse 😢
With regards to Canadian impacts from those warmer waters, expect less ice. And obviously fish populations would be impacted. I can see Cod moving even further north. For landlubbers, more storminess would be expected. In fact, when in Canada last summer, we saw very strange weather and it appeared to alarm the locals.
@@OldJackWolf it has been very strange indeed, for over a decade or more now. lived in ontario for 35 years. i assume it is the same story around the globe though. it feels like not much time left. not many animals or insects anymore. only 2 seasons used to be 4. very little snowfall that stays and as a kid i remember several feet on the ground for months every year.
Every year now all I hear about about is records being broken in various domains. One of the sickest things I've heard is about resource-greedy humans loving the fact that the sea ice melt near the poles will make it easier to drill for and pump even more fossil fuels to the surface. I sometimes wonder to what extent the atmospheric oxygen level will end up if all of that stuff is burnt. We already see that which isn't burnt creating floating plastic islands in the ocean where it is killing ocean life and seabirds. You could argue that global warming isn't happening fast enough because it it happened really quickly, people would hit the panic button everywhere and do something serious about it instead of hoping they'll last the distance before they die of old age. I see all of this as a massive failure in human thinking. If the population had been managed on a sustainable basis way back everyone could have enjoyed a much more modest and sustainable use of natural resources and avoided all this. Now it is too late.
We're not going to run out of oxygen. But we probably will have so much CO2 in the outdoor air that we can't function out there - we need to be able to expel carbon dioxide from our bodies by breathing, and if the concentration in the air we inhale is too high, we just can't get rid of what we're producing. Also it's not actually a problem of too many humans. It's a problem of a small percentage of humans using truly extraordinary quantities of resources to live a life that is wildly in excess of anyone's needs, and a larger minority being forced by economic structures to use excessive resources to live a life that only barely meets their needs, but costs the planet wildly out of proportion to what those people get from it. It's too late to prevent the catastrophe, but it's not too late for each of us to reduce our personal impact on the situation, and insulate ourselves as much as we can from the inevitable.
So much waste was purposely dumped into the ocean until they had to pass a law to not dump in the ocean in 1972.. so much waste dumped directly not to mention the other damage .. mountain top resourcing , ppl would rather blow up a whole mountain to get the resources and leaving it rather than fixing the problems..
Somehow “I told you so” seems appropriate. I never understood how climate crash could be so easily dismissed. I mean if we had another planet, but we don’t. And the planet will survive us, but how do you argue against erring on the side of caution. And yet the deniers always succeed in stopping any progress,which makes us pretty stupid, and our leaders have marched us right into our own demise. Everything is going to happen all of the sudden. Crop failures, destroyed cities, flood, fire, pandemics, all of it. And we are just warring as usual.
I haven't read the report yet, but one thought that has been kicking around in my head about ocean temperature rise is could the slowing AMOC be the main cause? If the water isn't mixing at the pace it has traditionally, wouldn't that indicate that water is remaining at southern latitudes for much longer durations and therefore exposed to more intense solar energy? The cold patch of sea in the north Atlantic makes me think it's like a pool of melted ice from Greenland that just hasn't mixed into the rest of the sea water as fast as it might have in past. Not to mention melt volume has increased substantially in recent years. As a laymen, looking at the facts, sea surface temperature rise seems to point directly to the AMOC failure. Thank you CEF!
True. Plus, Fukushima has 4 fully blown out spent fuel pools and china syndromes and just had another massive quake resulting in another meltdown and the entire Pacific is already caput.
@@angelsplace still cant believe this has been swept under the rug for so long, but i guess the higher ups knew we were doomed anyways. they just started releasing all the wastewater back into the ocean not long ago too. our planet has become a garbage pit for us humans. we deserve everything coming.
I try talking to people about the day there's no more food at the supermarket and they really can't comprehend that would ever happen. Yesterday I helped man a table with a local climate change group at Earth Day it's surprising to me how little most people pay attention. 2 of the last 4 winters in DC there has been NO accumulating snow and that doesn't seem odd to people?
It's all because they expect the warming to reach +1.5 degrees Celsius or +2 if the situation turns bad and they don't see how this tiny change could harm them. Most people fail to understand the average global temperature rise translates to very different values locally, depending on the amount of land/sea in the area, ocean currents and jet streams, monsoons and latitude. The difference can translate into -2 degrees or +10 and it's still average. The extreme events will increase by a lot and that's enough to ruin the economy, food supply and everyday lives of everyone
I know. And you'd think that would be, however unpleasant or grim, a very nice, easily conceptual way for regular schmucks to visualize and appreciate the situation. Because that's essentially what we're talking about. No more food of the shelves. No more stuff, thanks to global warming. As long as people have their stuff, the vast majority will just keep trudging on, showing up at their little jobs and spending their money. But you know how people are. They believe what they want to believe, and it's hard to blame them. Obviously, there's no winter any more in huge swaths of the country. And no insects on the windshield, in all regions of the country. Everyone seems to notice that much.....
We had our chance and we have messed it up.....to many greedy people living their nice lives .....and with 8 billion humans wow.......our poor eco system is buckling under the weight....if it wasn't for the ocean and the photosynthesis we would have reached this sooner ....most people will panic when it's too late......social media can't help then ..... nature will snap and they will be no fixing it ......mass famine will be the order of the day for decades
@@jcldctt Even that is trivial compared to what's happened before. The bacteria and algae that underpin all complex life systems will adapt and go on doing what they do. They won't even notice if we manage to wipe out every multicellular organism on the planet.
We need workable solutions not a discussion about how bad it’s gotten. Where are the carbon neutral cities? Where are the self sufficient cities? Where’s the refusal to war? Let be honest, the only thing we will do is absolutely nothing because our leadership is demented and only cares about profits for the few and austerity for the many. I don’t hear anything different here.
Rise 1.45 plus or minus 0.12? It seems like really bad science to calculate the result to a full decimal point beyond the error band. That looks to me like someone trying hard to get a value less than 1.5
you and your temperature make me laugh... geoengineering and sulphur dioxide plus other chemicals... fed up of blowing my nose and coughing out the junk...
Nobody is claiming civilizations never end. Our actions are resulting in the premature death of this one. This is avoidable. We could use our technology to live in harmony with nature instead of destroy it. But because all we care about if profits and hording wealth, we are destroying ourselves.
i don't know what you see as normal about our world today... just remember what we come from only 20 years ago. this is no Civilization, it is Federalization.
Interview a guy called Steve Keen. He's convinced that the problem with world governance is that economic modellers advising them have got their sums woefully askew. Thanks for chronicling our demise, guys, nothing will change while there's a profit to be made. Global warfare will make someone very rich. Won't do him any good though, maybe he'll buy the last loaf of bread...?
Greenland’s avg. temp in April is between 22 & 28F. 8 out of the next 10 days will stay above freezing even at night with rain every day. ‘Just Have a Think’ about that because everyone knows ‘Nature Bats Last’👀👀
Disappointing that the report doesn't directly link the Peril to the main cause, ie the continued growth in the burning of fossil fuels supported by governments around the world.
Glad you mentioned about other living things and temperature sensitivity. I kept tropical fish and know first hand about what a couple of degrees could do to their life cycle
it is time to give up the hopium pipe. We do not. have a problem. We have a conundrum. There are no solutions to a conundrum. See the work of the late Michael Dowd and Guy McPherson. Let's face the future together with compassion and dignity abandoning delusional dreams. Namaste. 😎🦋
Thank you for your report. I often hear that the ice is melting rapidly, but then at the end of the video the person speaking says but this will take a long time to happen. Finally, this report is sounding the alarm. Fires, Floods, High Winds, Strange weather in places which cannot handle it. Everyone needs to wake up.
See this report, i.e. State of the Climate 2023 from the WMO, which you can download here: library.wmo.int/records/item/68835-state-of-the-global-climate-2023 Look on p. 11 which shows 4.77 mm from 2014 to 2023.
Hopefully it gets warmer than the IPCC Reference year 1850, one of the coldest years of our interglacial. Failed harvests and hunger everywhere in 1850. We did not even reach the average temperature surface temperature of the holocene of about 15 C and are still 1 C warming away from the temperatures of the Holocene Climate Optimum which lasted from about 10.000 to 5.000 BP. Perhaps CO2 emissions can help to retard the begin of the overdue next Ice Age - this would be the real catastrophe.
I listen to you guys cos you call a spade a spade and I trust you. Who are these scientists who downplay the dangers? You must name them , so we can be aware of this and treat their declarations with the requisite scepticism
@@ClimateEmergencyForum this report must be brought to the attention of CBC which must cover this - or have they done so? I looked through the Current episodes since March 19th. I found 2 other climate stories, but didn't find this one so I will bring it to the attention of the producers there. It is now established that climate temperature rise is accelerating and the public needs to know. Having the WMO verify this in a report is NEWS of the most important kind. And I may have heard a blip on the. news back at the time, but I'm not aware of any program that has interviewed people so that the public actually learns what this report says. Possibly What on Earth would be interested in this, but they have a smaller listenership I think relative to the Current. Of course it really should be on the National. Let's get this out there! Thanks for producing the Climate Emergency Forum shows, I will share the link.
17:50 Our emissions of all GHGs are increasing, so I guess it is normal that global warming is accelerating? And it is more or less within predicted ranges, even if 2023 increase was spectacular and not fully explained. Maybe that is why many scientists say something like this was expected. Jason Box had a very clear and summarised explanation of the likely drivers behind 2023 record warming. Questions remain: Is global warming accelerating more than our GHG emissions? Is it decoupling due to non-anthropogenic emissions? What is the contribution of aerosols?
Sea level rise was the new thing in this report. 4,77mm per year is a huge thing. And it keep accelerating, because of multiple forcing and rising emissions. This means 5 cm in decade and this amount is more than doubling in 20 years? Or way less, because of the drivers. And it adds more water for all storm surges too. One crude estimate could be that rising rate accelerates by 1,5 times by 10 years. (1,5^2 is 2,25 that is in these limits 2,13*2,25 = 4,79 vs 4,77 by WMO.) That would mean about 100 millimeter sea level rise per year by 2100 (4,77*1,5^7,5 = 98). So this rough estimate is nearing 3 meters (2,8m) of sea level rise by 2100 (used decadal averages to combine this like [98+66,5]/2 for 2090-2100). Just hoping to be wrong in this issue.
The rate of sea level rise has too many chaotic factors and sudden tipping points in it to make any reliable forecasts about "this much by this date." What we do know, is that when all the ice caps have finished melting and the water in the oceans has expanded the total amount forecast due to warming, we're expecting approximately seventy metres total sea level rise. There will also be much bigger hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones bringing storm surges to places that don't have that now, so as a general principle, just don't buy land less than 100m above nominal sea level and you should be fine as far as that issue is concerned. As compared to assuring a reliable supply of healthy food, clean water, and wholesome air, sea level rise is a very easy problem for the individual household or family to navigate.
We need something sudden but not deadly….like a global EMP so everything stops, takes out all military hardware etc. Humans will adapt and survive, but large greedy endless profit corporations won’t.
we know but politicians just talk and most people just consume we are prisoners of our own device prisoners of greed and ignorance near future is going to be disastrous
Thanks for covering this, agree re food but also water and climate refugees being the issues that (potentially) get politicians to act. Given the election of more extreme governments though at will take a number of domestic severe weather events and food crises to make the people demand change. Heat deaths, especially wet bulb temperatures have the potential to create multiple heat island disasters in coastal cities with forest fires in land.
Canada's alberta is facing yet another record breaking drought. Farmers wells are running dry. Needless to say no region is free of the effects of climate.
We are in the tropics and have seen it all. Crops are dying despite irrigation. Fruit trees bear small and tasteless fruits. An increase in pests that defy pesticides. Abnormal floods. People are losing humour and always worried. Times are changing really fast.
pre industrial temp would place us well over 2c , Regina ? you would add on 0.8 c if im not mistaken, 1850 starts at zero for 1.5c , pre industrial from 1750 is 0.8c, its very confusing folks how scientists give us global surface temperature , im not sure if it is deliberate
I do feel there is some confusion on terminology. If a person leaves their country to go to America, how is that classed as 'internal displacement'? I see 'internal' as moving from Lincolnshire to Manchester because crops no longer grow in Lincolnshire. Pretty sure the internal means to stay within ones own national borders...
I don't imagine too many people really care if the planet is in danger. They've heard that message since the first Earth Day. They might care more about civilization being over, and most everyone dependent on civilization for food and shelter, being most, are also done for. Is that too scary? Sure. People should be afraid, that's about the only way that people save themselves, when they are afraid.
The measurement of human dysfunction relative to living in concert with the environment (at least as an industrial society) has rarely held any vital interest for those who profit from that dysfunction. I would include myself in that calculation as I have received so many benefits from all of that industry: readily available food, water, home, entertainment, protection, travel, waste disposal, free time, health care and all the rest of the indulgences that I may choose to "pay" for. I will continue to make a "deal" at the most adventageous terms for myself. When might I sacrifice my own security and privileges? When I learn the hard way. That hard way will be too late for the planet. I am too selfish to act preemptively. I think, if you look deep down, that you too are the same as me. The only real sacrifice that may make a difference is to perish prematurely. Will the society as a whole do it? It looks like we may not have options.
Stop that talk right now! Perishing prematurely you will relinquish your duty to inform and give notice. I spoke with a young person who asked me if we had any hope well I was out in the wilderness fly fishing. I just looked at her. She said we're screwed aren't we? I just stayed silent and went back to fishing.
@@therealdesidaru Perishing prematurely is what happens in war, famine, flood, drought, death by cops, preventable disease, as well as by going off on an ice flow when there isn't a way to support a community or family through hard times. People commit suicide by alcohol, drugs, overeating, fighting, driving or jumping off of bridges. If someone asks if we are screwed perhaps they want to know if it is worthwhile to continue or to resist fate. This has been a reasonable question since philosophies have been considered.... I have always known I have an expiration date and all the wishful thinking and planning may just be selfishness. The light is now for the first time I believe shining on the time of humanities crossover. And no one is truly that interested in my opinions and observations. Writing this just helps me clarify my thoughts. Thanks for writing in any case.
It seems like the corporations are playing an endgame scenario- going for the highest profits they can get before societal disruption or collapse.
They know, they will soon die anyway. All the rich people are old. They don't even care about their own children, because they have lost hope. They imagine the worst outcome possible and simply accept it. Yea. That's what you get with this new world order. And the pollution doesn't slow down what so ever.
And if you'd think humans will choose technology that pollutes less, you are mistaken. Yet again we could choose for example Salt batteries, which have less capacity and less lifetime than those solid state ones. But humans will always choose what generates the biggest profits. Yet again humanity will choose technology that pollutes (because lithium is very reactive and thus burns as it degrades or as it's damaged). Never, ever fu*king expect humans to go the slow and green path. It just won't happen. I even dare to say it can't happen. Greed is in the way.
And from another perspective they'll tell you that there is no more time left, so we are forced to do it quick, the greatest change of our species in terms of technology. No more time left for the slow and green path, which is ironic.
Corporate profit, is more important than the planet.
You are describing an economics problem. Business needs to make money or they go out of business. Planet Critical just did a interview about it.
The sad reality is that most humans think of "life" as human life. They believe that the Earth is their birthright as human beings. They fail to honor and recognize the fact that they are merely one aspect of an interwoven symbiotic complex of ALL living things. I know that many contemporary humans consider the Gaia Principle as being "woo-woo" but I believe that that outlook is our fundamental flaw, homo sapiens "achilles heel". Gaia is ready, willing and able to spit us out like a mouthful of bad food.

The global average sea level has risen 8-9 inches (21-24 centimeters) since 1880. In 2022, the average sea level was 4 inches (101.2 mm) higher than in 1993, setting a new record high. The rate of sea level rise has been accelerating, increasing from 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year in the 20th century to 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006-2015.

any kind of "albedo modification" just delays the reduction of co2 emissions - thrusting Earth into "terminal shock" for 10,000 years.
It is more than 1.5C past the actual baseline of 1750. The baseline was moved to later on the basis that measurements were more accurate after 1850. What a tragic and base betrayal. When are these discussions going to relate to the measurable and ongoing catastrophe in the biosphere? Not a word about the savage decline in insects and plankton - the base of the food web - with obvious consequences for larger animals including us. Meanwhile, the precariousness of food production increases with now both amount and nutritional quality of crops declining. It is absolutely time to prepare for imminent impact. Rationing food now would be a sensible start.

Global temperature was about 0.2 C warmer each year of WWII. Our bombs are stronger, warming the atmosphere more, and are delivered with rockets, warming the atmosphere warm. The other difference is that we have 420 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. 6 years of 0.2 C increase would create 1.2 C increase just from the warfare. [Clearly I have no hard data on how much heat Gaza and Ukraine could have actually contributed. Anyone have some hard numbers?]

The problem with this entire situation is science itself. There is so much variation in these discussions that no one knows what to believe anymore. We have crossed the 1.5°C threshold. That’s not even enough to debate anymore except from the paid climate scientist who stuffed their pockets with blood money. They will say anything to keep their job. You have those people saying that nothing’s gonna happen for another 60 to 80 years and then you have those on the other side talking about how bad things really are. Here’s the biggest problem of all. Most people don’t see what’s coming. People will look at millimeters of sea Level rise and think to themselves that’s nothing. People will look at 1.5°C and think that’s nothing. I don’t see any big changes in the weather. I don’t see the ocean being higher. The mentality is if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. I don’t even talk about this issue anymore because I’m constantly made fun of and called chicken little acting like the sky is falling. I have been laughed at and ridiculed. Nothing has happened because they see nothing that’s tangible.. data on paper means very little. These are the reasons why nothing will be done. It’s already too late and it’s just going to get worse but until people get to experience what worse case scenario is, they’re not going to believe you. Unless it affects me personally, it doesn’t exist. This is an egocentric selfish point of view, which most Americans are!
Tell your naysayers that sea level has risen four inches since 1993 and the rate of rise has doubled since then, according to NASA and the World Meteorological Org. Then give them some stats from NOAA: High tide flooding along the American south and Gulf coasts is up 400% and 1100% respectively since the year 2000. Maine, which is uplifting land from glacial rebound, suffered a record high tide in January that caused $100 million in damages. The City Dock neighborhood of Annapolis is submerged underwater 60 times a year now. Meanwhile, New York and Louisiana have a combined $100 billion in new flood mitigation projects in the works.

What can I say, the oil industry has done a great job using the same lawyers and logic that the tobacco companies did. They denied global warming at first and now agree that it's real but shifted the blame saying warming cycles are natural or even good. Just enough deflection to keep the public off their back and dependent on them at least until maximum profits are extracted. Wait until things get bad enough that much of the infrastructure has been destroyed and many crops can't be grown, they'll be forced to accept a reduction in profits at that point.

@@OldJackWolf it has been very strange indeed, for over a decade or more now. lived in ontario for 35 years. i assume it is the same story around the globe though. it feels like not much time left. not many animals or insects anymore. only 2 seasons used to be 4. very little snowfall that stays and as a kid i remember several feet on the ground for months every year.
Every year now all I hear about about is records being broken in various domains. One of the sickest things I've heard is about resource-greedy humans loving the fact that the sea ice melt near the poles will make it easier to drill for and pump even more fossil fuels to the surface. I sometimes wonder to what extent the atmospheric oxygen level will end up if all of that stuff is burnt. We already see that which isn't burnt creating floating plastic islands in the ocean where it is killing ocean life and seabirds.
You could argue that global warming isn't happening fast enough because it it happened really quickly, people would hit the panic button everywhere and do something serious about it instead of hoping they'll last the distance before they die of old age.
I see all of this as a massive failure in human thinking. If the population had been managed on a sustainable basis way back everyone could have enjoyed a much more modest and sustainable use of natural resources and avoided all this. Now it is too late.
We're not going to run out of oxygen. But we probably will have so much CO2 in the outdoor air that we can't function out there - we need to be able to expel carbon dioxide from our bodies by breathing, and if the concentration in the air we inhale is too high, we just can't get rid of what we're producing.
Also it's not actually a problem of too many humans. It's a problem of a small percentage of humans using truly extraordinary quantities of resources to live a life that is wildly in excess of anyone's needs, and a larger minority being forced by economic structures to use excessive resources to live a life that only barely meets their needs, but costs the planet wildly out of proportion to what those people get from it.
It's too late to prevent the catastrophe, but it's not too late for each of us to reduce our personal impact on the situation, and insulate ourselves as much as we can from the inevitable.
So much waste was purposely dumped into the ocean until they had to pass a law to not dump in the ocean in 1972.. so much waste dumped directly not to mention the other damage .. mountain top resourcing , ppl would rather blow up a whole mountain to get the resources and leaving it rather than fixing the problems..
Somehow “I told you so” seems appropriate. I never understood how climate crash could be so easily dismissed. I mean if we had another planet, but we don’t. And the planet will survive us, but how do you argue against erring on the side of caution. And yet the deniers always succeed in stopping any progress,which makes us pretty stupid, and our leaders have marched us right into our own demise. Everything is going to happen all of the sudden. Crop failures, destroyed cities, flood, fire, pandemics, all of it. And we are just warring as usual.
I haven't read the report yet, but one thought that has been kicking around in my head about ocean temperature rise is could the slowing AMOC be the main cause? If the water isn't mixing at the pace it has traditionally, wouldn't that indicate that water is remaining at southern latitudes for much longer durations and therefore exposed to more intense solar energy? The cold patch of sea in the north Atlantic makes me think it's like a pool of melted ice from Greenland that just hasn't mixed into the rest of the sea water as fast as it might have in past. Not to mention melt volume has increased substantially in recent years.
As a laymen, looking at the facts, sea surface temperature rise seems to point directly to the AMOC failure.
Thank you CEF!

I try talking to people about the day there's no more food at the supermarket and they really can't comprehend that would ever happen. Yesterday I helped man a table with a local climate change group at Earth Day it's surprising to me how little most people pay attention. 2 of the last 4 winters in DC there has been NO accumulating snow and that doesn't seem odd to people?
It's all because they expect the warming to reach +1.5 degrees Celsius or +2 if the situation turns bad and they don't see how this tiny change could harm them. Most people fail to understand the average global temperature rise translates to very different values locally, depending on the amount of land/sea in the area, ocean currents and jet streams, monsoons and latitude. The difference can translate into -2 degrees or +10 and it's still average. The extreme events will increase by a lot and that's enough to ruin the economy, food supply and everyday lives of everyone
I know. And you'd think that would be, however unpleasant or grim, a very nice, easily conceptual way for regular schmucks to visualize and appreciate the situation. Because that's essentially what we're talking about. No more food of the shelves. No more stuff, thanks to global warming. As long as people have their stuff, the vast majority will just keep trudging on, showing up at their little jobs and spending their money. But you know how people are. They believe what they want to believe, and it's hard to blame them. Obviously, there's no winter any more in huge swaths of the country.

We need workable solutions not a discussion about how bad it’s gotten. Where are the carbon neutral cities? Where are the self sufficient cities? Where’s the refusal to war? Let be honest, the only thing we will do is absolutely nothing because our leadership is demented and only cares about profits for the few and austerity for the many. I don’t hear anything different here.
A “student of the obvious” ? Hit the nail on the head!
Dont shoot these messangers tho'. Just saying ❤
Consumerism has trapped young people into not caring.
You know what will fix things..
More growth!

Dear alarmists,
420 ppm of CO2 (aka the gas of life) isn’t a “crisis”.
Love your channel
Raining nearly every day here in SE Mass
I'd like to see more of Andrew Glickson
and his take.
Thank you!
Right I love it
Rise 1.45 plus or minus 0.12? It seems like really bad science to calculate the result to a full decimal point beyond the error band. That looks to me like someone trying hard to get a value less than 1.5
you and your temperature make me laugh... geoengineering and sulphur dioxide plus other chemicals... fed up of blowing my nose and coughing out the junk...
How much time do you think we have left?
I'm lost for words.......😦
Im 70 years old ive been following climate for the last decade i believe my generation will be the last i truly believe that.
Yes, Doomerism was covered multiple Times by Climate-Town and Second-Thought
Go watch
Human beings aren't going to die out from climate change. A nuclear holocaust? Perhaps. But not from climate change.
situation normal. no civilisation ever continued indefinitely. just enjoy the times you got left.
Nobody is claiming civilizations never end. Our actions are resulting in the premature death of this one. This is avoidable. We could use our technology to live in harmony with nature instead of destroy it. But because all we care about if profits and hording wealth, we are destroying ourselves.
i don't know what you see as normal about our world today... just remember what we come from only 20 years ago. this is no Civilization, it is Federalization.
Interview a guy called Steve Keen. He's convinced that the problem with world governance is that economic modellers advising them have got their sums woefully askew. Thanks for chronicling our demise, guys, nothing will change while there's a profit to be made. Global warfare will make someone very rich. Won't do him any good though, maybe he'll buy the last loaf of bread...?
But we're never going to stop breeding, even when so ghastly into overshoot.
Exactly, pure human arrogance and insanity. One of the reasons I've never wanted to put offspring on the planet.
Greenland’s avg. temp in April is between 22 & 28F. 8 out of the next 10 days will stay above freezing even at night with rain every day. ‘Just Have a Think’ about that because everyone knows ‘Nature Bats Last’👀👀
We are literally gassing ourselves to death.
don't look up...
Hunga Tonga eruption caused global temperatures to rise. Now there is a demonstrable methane feedback ongoing.
What has Professor Guy McPherson said about this I wonder?
sh happens.
Disappointing that the report doesn't directly link the Peril to the main cause, ie the continued growth in the burning of fossil fuels supported by governments around the world.
Better tell taylor swift to stop flying around polluting. 1278 tonnes of carbon output from her travelling.
Taylor swift is a distraction. The real problem is massive corporations controlling all the worlds economies.
It is the scenario of collapse.
Glad you mentioned about other living things and temperature sensitivity. I kept tropical fish and know first hand about what a couple of degrees could do to their life cycle
Thank you for this information.
Glad it was helpful!
20240426 - 428.59 CO2 ppm today. We have the pedal to the metal and are heading over that cliff. What a ride!
How about a forum video that goes beyond what is wrong and discusses how we live without the release of these gases. I would find that practical.
Ever heard of renenewable energy? It's a start. VOTE for it!
it is time to give up the hopium pipe. We do not. have a problem. We have a conundrum. There are no solutions to a conundrum. See the work of the late Michael Dowd and Guy McPherson. Let's face the future together with compassion and dignity abandoning delusional dreams. Namaste. 😎🦋
Thank you for your report. I often hear that the ice is melting rapidly, but then at the end of the video the person speaking says but this will take a long time to happen. Finally, this report is sounding the alarm. Fires, Floods, High Winds, Strange weather in places which cannot handle it. Everyone needs to wake up.
Where did Paul get the 4,7mm Sea level rise from?
See this report, i.e. State of the Climate 2023 from the WMO, which you can download here: library.wmo.int/records/item/68835-state-of-the-global-climate-2023
Look on p. 11 which shows 4.77 mm from 2014 to 2023.
We ain’t getting out of this one alive!
trues, but how will we act while it all goes down?
and individually we are responsible for our actions.
Death is part of the journey.
Yes some good news for once hopefully though many of the animal and plant kingdom will survive.
Since you are an expert, can you tell the public more about geoengineering and sulphur dioxide?
Excellent summary report
Thank you kindly!
Sterling work people. Have an award
Thank you!
Hopefully it gets warmer than the IPCC Reference year 1850, one of the coldest years of our interglacial.
Failed harvests and hunger everywhere in 1850.
We did not even reach the average temperature surface temperature of the holocene of about 15 C and are still 1 C warming away from the temperatures of the Holocene Climate Optimum which lasted from about 10.000 to 5.000 BP.
Perhaps CO2 emissions can help to retard the begin of the overdue next Ice Age - this would be the real catastrophe.
I listen to you guys cos you call a spade a spade and I trust you. Who are these scientists who downplay the dangers?
You must name them , so we can be aware of this and treat their declarations with the requisite scepticism
Michael Mann and Zeke Hausfather.
Wish England would get some of this warming. Almost May & still feels like January
Indeed! It's bloody freezing.
The planet will be fine. Why don't you say that "humans are in deep trouble"?
We are part of the planet.

@@ClimateEmergencyForum this report must be brought to the attention of CBC which must cover this - or have they done so? I looked through the Current episodes since March 19th. I found 2 other climate stories, but didn't find this one so I will bring it to the attention of the producers there. It is now established that climate temperature rise is accelerating and the public needs to know. Having the WMO verify this in a report is NEWS of the most important kind. And I may have heard a blip on the. news back at the time, but I'm not aware of any program that has interviewed people so that the public actually learns what this report says. Possibly What on Earth would be interested in this, but they have a smaller listenership I think relative to the Current. Of course it really should be on the National. Let's get this out there! Thanks for producing the Climate Emergency Forum shows, I will share the link.
That's great. Thanks.
17:50 Our emissions of all GHGs are increasing, so I guess it is normal that global warming is accelerating? And it is more or less within predicted ranges, even if 2023 increase was spectacular and not fully explained. Maybe that is why many scientists say something like this was expected.
Jason Box had a very clear and summarised explanation of the likely drivers behind 2023 record warming.
Questions remain: Is global warming accelerating more than our GHG emissions? Is it decoupling due to non-anthropogenic emissions? What is the contribution of aerosols?
Correction, the children have a right to exist
Makes me sad, Wetiko has us whipped.
The term Paul Levy coined?
Sea level rise was the new thing in this report. 4,77mm per year is a huge thing. And it keep accelerating, because of multiple forcing and rising emissions.
This means 5 cm in decade and this amount is more than doubling in 20 years? Or way less, because of the drivers. And it adds more water for all storm surges too.
One crude estimate could be that rising rate accelerates by 1,5 times by 10 years. (1,5^2 is 2,25 that is in these limits 2,13*2,25 = 4,79 vs 4,77 by WMO.) That would mean about 100 millimeter sea level rise per year by 2100 (4,77*1,5^7,5 = 98). So this rough estimate is nearing 3 meters (2,8m) of sea level rise by 2100 (used decadal averages to combine this like [98+66,5]/2 for 2090-2100). Just hoping to be wrong in this issue.
And this was done without already risen sea level.
Paul predicts 7m by 2070 and that intuitively seems plausible given how things are accelerating, future phase changes
The rate of sea level rise has too many chaotic factors and sudden tipping points in it to make any reliable forecasts about "this much by this date." What we do know, is that when all the ice caps have finished melting and the water in the oceans has expanded the total amount forecast due to warming, we're expecting approximately seventy metres total sea level rise.
There will also be much bigger hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones bringing storm surges to places that don't have that now, so as a general principle, just don't buy land less than 100m above nominal sea level and you should be fine as far as that issue is concerned.
As compared to assuring a reliable supply of healthy food, clean water, and wholesome air, sea level rise is a very easy problem for the individual household or family to navigate.
Awesome Video and discussion! big supporter of your work
Thanks for the visit.
You folks have a very interesting show. I wish I discovered it much earlier. Btw: What do you folks think about Guy McPherson's approach?
We need to share, share, share this post.
Thank you!
We need something sudden but not deadly….like a global EMP so everything stops, takes out all military hardware etc. Humans will adapt and survive, but large greedy endless profit corporations won’t.
With the ocean acidification, could crushing millions of tons of chalk and then pouring it into the oceans, fix or slow down the problem?
Plate tectonics 🌎🌍🌏💥
we know but politicians just talk and most people just consume we are prisoners of our own device prisoners of greed and ignorance near future is going to be disastrous
Carbon credits gambled on the stock markets give a licence to pollute.
Thank you for your excellent work.
You're welcome!
Well wow. Only 20% caused by the El Nino. I found that surprising. Seems, though, that we are entering the curve in any accelerating change.
Why didn't we heed the warnings of Basement Jaxx back in 1999?
Thanks for covering this, agree re food but also water and climate refugees being the issues that (potentially) get politicians to act.
Given the election of more extreme governments though at will take a number of domestic severe weather events and food crises to make the people demand change.
Heat deaths, especially wet bulb temperatures have the potential to create multiple heat island disasters in coastal cities with forest fires in land.
Canada's alberta is facing yet another record breaking drought. Farmers wells are running dry. Needless to say no region is free of the effects of climate.
Ouch!
Awesome reporting
We are in the tropics and have seen it all. Crops are dying despite irrigation. Fruit trees bear small and tasteless fruits. An increase in pests that defy pesticides. Abnormal floods. People are losing humour and always worried. Times are changing really fast.
pre industrial temp would place us well over 2c , Regina ? you would add on 0.8 c if im not mistaken, 1850 starts at zero for 1.5c , pre industrial from 1750 is 0.8c, its very confusing folks how scientists give us global surface temperature , im not sure if it is deliberate
The status quo is unsustainable!
I do feel there is some confusion on terminology.
If a person leaves their country to go to America, how is that classed as 'internal displacement'?
I see 'internal' as moving from Lincolnshire to Manchester because crops no longer grow in Lincolnshire.
Pretty sure the internal means to stay within ones own national borders...
I don't imagine too many people really care if the planet is in danger. They've heard that message since the first Earth Day. They might care more about civilization being over, and most everyone dependent on civilization for food and shelter, being most, are also done for. Is that too scary? Sure. People should be afraid, that's about the only way that people save themselves, when they are afraid.
Where is the report we are being asked to read?
Description links
The measurement of human dysfunction relative to living in concert with the environment (at least as an industrial society) has rarely held any vital interest for those who profit from that dysfunction. I would include myself in that calculation as I have received so many benefits from all of that industry: readily available food, water, home, entertainment, protection, travel, waste disposal, free time, health care and all the rest of the indulgences that I may choose to "pay" for. I will continue to make a "deal" at the most adventageous terms for myself. When might I sacrifice my own security and privileges? When I learn the hard way. That hard way will be too late for the planet. I am too selfish to act preemptively. I think, if you look deep down, that you too are the same as me. The only real sacrifice that may make a difference is to perish prematurely. Will the society as a whole do it? It looks like we may not have options.
Stop that talk right now! Perishing prematurely you will relinquish your duty to inform and give notice. I spoke with a young person who asked me if we had any hope well I was out in the wilderness fly fishing. I just looked at her. She said we're screwed aren't we? I just stayed silent and went back to fishing.
@@therealdesidaru Perishing prematurely is what happens in war, famine, flood, drought, death by cops, preventable disease, as well as by going off on an ice flow when there isn't a way to support a community or family through hard times. People commit suicide by alcohol, drugs, overeating, fighting, driving or jumping off of bridges.
If someone asks if we are screwed perhaps they want to know if it is worthwhile to continue or to resist fate. This has been a reasonable question since philosophies have been considered.... I have always known I have an expiration date and all the wishful thinking and planning may just be selfishness. The light is now for the first time I believe shining on the time of humanities crossover. And no one is truly that interested in my opinions and observations. Writing this just helps me clarify my thoughts. Thanks for writing in any case.
