When you realise that all of these information aren't new at all, but existed since the 1970s at least and have been researched and then denied by the very people and companies that cause most of this pollution and destructions is what triggers me the most

watching this four years later, can we just all acknowledge this aged like a fine wine. And in this specific case, that is a very bad, although expected thing.
Thinking the same thing. The great filter is that resources aren't infinite and as a species progresses it uses more and more resources. So essentially to pass the great barrier a species must be able to achieve speed of light travel before they burn out their planet so new planets and more resources are available. I dont think going green is our answer for earth, I think we must use the Asteroids with immense resources that dwarf our own planet for metals and material. Use way more solar power and find a way to increase the amount of energy solar power produces. And when we either go to Mars or the new "super earth" 21 light years away we should then treat that planet with upmost kindness and go green, we already fucked up our earth. So after we go green on another planet and use asteroids as most resources we give earth a long time to recover from the mess we created and turn earth into one giant ass farming planet and try not to disturb animals habitats as best we can. After we have a farming planet for earth and asteroid resources with a whole new planet for farming and renewable energy then we find a way to achieve equilibrium with population, so just not making more food ever so that way people have less children to avoid starvation

Alejandro Molina Gil If you research human population estimates over our species’ entire history, it’s about 107 billion. 7.6 billion is far short of a quarter. TL:DR Your Math Professor is wrong
@@enbyjedi yeah ... and that estimate assumes that we're a species younger than we will probably discover in the future that we are, but i don't really mean to split hairs here.
Statistically speaking, if humanity became a space faring race, the chances of you being born now are incredibly low. Our population is growing at an exponential rate, and would continue to do so if we began colonizing other planets. So you could compare having 7 billion chances of being born now, to 500 billion chances of being born a few hundred years from now, or trillions of chances thousands of years from now, you can see why the probability of being born now are slim. Unless... this is the height of humanity, and within a few hundred or thousand years we go extinct. Then the chances of being born now, at the end of humanity with 7 billion chances, is a lot higher than being born a thousand years ago, when there were only a couple hundred million people.
I think videos like this are important. But it is equally important to look up some of these facts. So far MOST of the "doom and gloom" facts are not really holding up in 2021, here's just a few: We haven't hit peak coal (but demand is slowing) 2018 turned out to be a new record for oil production, and some theorize peak oil is now at 2040 The wolf population in France is almost 600 now, and considered stable Renewable energy production in the US hit 20.6% of their energy mix in 2020 and rising. FAST. I chose to join with the voices and boots on the ground in fighting back against not only climate change, but also against the rising addiction to "it's game over man" thinking. Covid is a great example. People in this chat keep pointing to covid as being a end-of-civilization event. That is absurd on it's face. Plagues have been around LONGER than humans have been. Plagues and humans go together like bacon and eggs. The black death wiped out an entire THIRD of europe. So I guess that was the end of European society right? It all just collapsed? Oh no wait, it wasn't at all. What about the great depression and the dustbowl? What about both of those World Wars? It's time to realize that a species of animals brilliant enough to harness and direct incredible amounts of energy to our needs, so much so that we are rapidly damaging our planet, is not a species to be written off so easily. Are things going to get harder? WAY. Harder. Has that stopped humans before? HELL NO. You can all cry into your pillows and disappear into history if you want, but my money's on Humanity. Some how, in some form or another, we will prevail. It's the only thing we know how to do. Oh also, who CARES about 'society as we know it". Society as we know it is capitalist and dumb, we might as well shake things up. There's one reality humanity has always lived with (aside from plagues) and thats this: things have always and will always change. Sometimes the changes are dangerous, tragic and abrupt. So pull your socks up and get ready to do some adapting, just like all our ancestors have always known they had to do. See you out there!
exactly. The future will not be bright and we will loose biodiversity and a lot of nature will turn into deserts (both on land and water) but we will be able to offset this by growing indoors, making artificial air cleaning machines etc. We just need to invest at the right spots and not into old tech.
Exactly, I’m tired of these shock value videos getting all the facts wrong and people just simply tune out because of it. Yes climate change will be hard but we should focus on realistic expectations and not these doomsday scenarios that are unlikely.

Really sad that we as a society can travel to space, split the atom and build such awesome things like computers and the internet, yet we fail to recognize the imminent destruction of our planet and our civilization caused by our unsustainable way of life. I really think nuclear fusion is humanitys last hope for survival, nuclear fission and especially molten salt reactors would be a great way to generate electricity until that tech is ready though. Whatever happens, the next 50 years will be deciding for the fate of humanity and it will definitely not get boring 😅 We must not loose hope and use our awesome tech to spread this message and bring awareness to as much people as possible, this is the only way we can change something. Love and Peace to all of you ✌️ (sorry for my english i´m writing this at 3am in the morning and this isn´t my mother tongue ^^)
I was thinking the same thing about fusion, it could solve our energy crisis. However, we are nowhere near viable fusion unless some huge breakthrough is just over the horizon. Also, we still have massive amounts of pollution from over consumption, agriculture, etc. And those issues will have to be addressed as well. But the people with the power to change the world don't seem to really care. That goes for the general population as well as governments. Most people are completely unwilling to give up any of their personal comforts and the rich and powerful only care about what's most profitable in the short term. Our species is screwed, and in some way, we deserve it.
Most people recognize it and are very aware. For some it's just scary to actually think about it. For others it's hopeless because we have lost any real political power.
@@assezzen194 Fuck off with that. 50% of all polution is produced by the top 10% of the richest people in the world, which includes more than 100 million Americans. Even the green "woke" westerners typically produce more pollution than an average african simply due to consuming more products.

As it turns out at the end of the video, the real problem is not the environment, and lack of technical solution, but srewed up feedback loop which does not motivate enough those who have the capability to do the implement the necessary solutions.

@@donfields1234 You say that, but the core issue even stated in this very video is that we consume too much. Consumption by the very richest isnt the glaring issue. Its very clearly based on how all humans (living comfortably) consumption needs (should) be divided by 6. Giving a more level economy is if anything going to lead to more consumption, which make the 'loop' bigger. The only way the 'elite' created the feedback loop is that the most educated people created incredible comforts that were first only enjoyed by the extremely rich, but now through demand has spread to almost everyone - Phones, computers, meat, cotton and other clothing materials etc. The ''elite'' took these things and made them available to everyone. And everyone celebrates it. The truth is we can either hope that the future 'elite', the scientists, and the innovators find a way to develop our technologies to the point where we can continue consuming without reducing our comforts or do just that: reduce our comforts, but i do agree with the video that i dont think that is going to happen. Never before has humans taken a step back from technology without like religious reasons - The amish for instance. So then the remaining 'solution' is doing what we are doing right now. Slowing down the process as much as possible until we 'build' ourselves out of it (Invent a solution!). There is some truth to what you're saying - We clearly dont harbor the perfect world for this to happen since we might not distribute the required wealth to the person who could solve it, that person might be stuck working a poorly paying job just to make ends meet instead of working and studying to make the solution happen.

@@timowortelboer7074 It is true that there is a fertilization effect on plants from increased CO2, but unfortunately, it is not all rainbows and unicorns. Like anything else, it is a more nuanced situation because plants do not live on CO2 alone. The following are a few excerpts from a Scientific American article entitled, “Ask the Experts: Does Rising CO2 Benefit Plants?” www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-does-rising-co2-benefit-plants1/ “It’s not appropriate to look at the CO2 fertilization effect in isolation,” he says. “You can have positive and negative things going at once, and it’s the net balance that matters.” So although there is a basic truth to skeptics’ claim, he says, “what’s missing from that argument is that it’s not the whole picture.” Rising CO2’s effect on crops could also harm human health. “We know unequivocally that when you grow food at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious,” notes Samuel Myers, principal research scientist in environmental health at Harvard University. “[Food crops] lose significant amounts of iron and zinc-and grains [also] lose protein.” Researchers do not yet know why higher atmospheric CO2 alters crops’ nutritional content. But, Myers says, “the bottom line is, we know that rising CO2 reduces the concentration of critical nutrients around the world,” adding that these kinds of nutritional deficiencies are already significant public health threats, and will only worsen as CO2 levels go up. “The problem with [the skeptics’] argument is that it’s as if you can cherry-pick the CO2 fertilization effect from the overall effect of adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere,” Myers says. But that is not how the world-or its climate-works.
@@joecaner Ok so we're talking about the specific subargument of the effect of CO2 rise on the health of the population. The first part of your argument is essentially: 'it's not the full picture' or with different words: 'we have a complicated model that we're not going to explain but you should still believe us and not be sceptic of our conclusions'. This interpretation is especially valid considering the only subsequent argument about public health. Before talking about that, some historical context provides the proper baseline: the fossil record implies that in general life on earth, including animal life, has performed a lot better when we had periods of higher CO2. So in general higher CO2 is good for the total amount of biomass on earth by letting plants grow quicker. That they then absorb less of some specific nutrients is not really relevant, since we can simply adjust our diet, perhaps with additives/nutrient pills. The public health part of the quote goes on a little fear-mongering tour by noting the bad state of public health, which is of course a non-argument in this context, since people are responsible for this state of public health, clearly not these innocent CO2 molecules. A small change in the average nutritional value of plants will not have a noticable effect on the general public health when compared to the huge impact of lifestyle and diet changes. So if you can find data on how large the effect will be on already healthy people, then you could have an argument for the 'impending doom caused by CO2'. I'm guessing that this data does not exist, therefore even without zinc pills the argument falls apart.
My replies are being cut off, I wrote a whole lot about how the puclic health argument doesn't hold up, since the original thesis is about the impending doom we will have to face. The public health won't be an issue since we can just take zinc pills. Most of the present issues in public health are easily solved by lifestyle changes and do not have anything to do with CO2.
The article also says the heat will be an issue for crops. This is clearly not the case, which the existence of rainforests proves. Farmers will have to adapt, as will the plants, but in the end all changes will probably result in higher yields for the (perhaps different, adapted) crops.
I'm way too depressed, and this video just didn't help with that, it's so unfortunate and true, guess there is a silver lining, even if i do change everything is fucked beyond repair anyway.

Yet instead of sharing this with hope with the audience, my dumb pointless humor backfired. You proved to be wiser and more encouraging than I. But all is not lost...perhaps others will read the above words.
Alex Zabala please, don’t feel bad because of your joke. You’re not less wise or bad because of it. We all do things we might feel differently about in the future, is that not part of life? What I would like to highlight though, is that people sadly more often than not express themselves as joking when it comes to depression etc, when they’re actually suffering. It’s also easier to face a joke than diehard realities, which would also explain the struggle with “curing” depressions. Also would like to encourage your beliefs in religion. I myself am a protestant, but would see myself more as an atheist today. I truly think one of the reasons why depression is increasing in western nations is the lack of religion. Much since it’s been people’s guidance in past. Now this went waaay further than expected, but hope you’ll stay good! Regards
Most people sense that something is wrong but won't act until there is a full blown crisis. Problem is, once there is a full blown crisis it will be too late. IMO
If it's real then here is what I would expect to see... 1. Government needs to eliminate high permit fees for going green. On top of the cost of actually building a windmill, I would have to pay an additional $6,000 just for the permission to build it. That doesn't inspire me to go green. 2. Make laws requiring all NEW factories be green, and see how motivated companies are to develop the green technology. 3. Stop obstructing people from collecting rain water. For every gallon I collect, it's a gallon of water that doesn't have to get processed through the water treatment plant, or pumped through the pipes which uses more fossil fuels and puts more ware and tear on the equipment. 4. Secure our Southern border so our precious resources are used up by a bunch of poor people that want everything for free. Nope, I'm not convinced this is anything other than a way to control us and steal our money.
@Jed Eckart...I assume your talking US government? Way too much regulation/fees to do anything. Major reason why companies manufacture outside the US.

@@nevadataylor They aren't stupid, trust me. They know *exactly* what they're doing. To normal people, and to Socialists, the actions of the Capitalist Class seem bizarre, illogical, and stupid. But within the framework of this parasitic system, all of this makes perfect sense. It's entirely rational. This is why even if people decided to regulate, or break up Capitalists, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. It would take more than guillotines to save us. It would take more than "expanded government and more regulation" to save the human race. It would take an immediate and sustained Socialist revolution, it would take a full transition of our mode of production, a full transition of how we generate our energy, and an uprooting of about a damn century of Capitalist conditioning to even have an INKLING of a chance at KINDA surviving this disaster. All of the Socialist countries of the 20th century are either gone, or almost as Capitalist as the west. All of them were not allowed to grow and develop into normal, functional societies thanks to Capitalist Encirclement, scorched earth policies, invasions, and embargos/blockades. The Capitalists then used all of these artificial failures to beat into the minds of billions of people that "Socialism doesn't work." The likelihood of us even *slowing down* our death is tiny. And the god damn amazon fires will bring the final collapse well within the lifetimes of even the oldest millennials. Not only will gen Z see it, but we will too. And what are the Capitalist's plans? To pack up and leave the earth with all the wealth and resources they can carry, while the billions of poor die in heatwaves, of starvation, and die of fucking thirst and disease. Even if most of the world became Socialist tomorrow, our only hope would be moving a majority of our population off planet and either into space habitats, or onto the moon and Mars. Most private companies aren't gonna do that, and the ones that do will be the ones that run the new society. The parasites, and people who killed earth, will be ready to start their conquest anew. It would be hell for any survivors forced to work for their fucking corporate overlords. The USSR was shit, but it kept Capitalism in check, and challenged capitalist hegemony, and now with them gone, NOBODY can stop what's coming...

Nuclear fission is the second best, but it’s way too expensive and sadly most people aren’t willing to invest in it. Nuclear fusion is perfect, but even more expensive.
The federal government should offer bonds to companies for building nuclear reactors. It can’t stay on ~20% total energy production, look at france, almost 99% nuclear
Nuclear plants here in europe have been failing due to high temperatures. the water can't cool them any more. are there any alternatives? I honestly don't know enough about nuclear energy but think it's a better idea than coal and other fossil fuels.
Need to also pressure your government. The only solution is to disincentivize excessive consumption at a systemic level. For example, through measures similar to anti-poaching laws.
I'm tired of making all the sacrifices while the ones who make the decisions continue to live their decadent, wasteful, and apathetic lives in their ivory towers. It's not all up to us, but you're right. That's the least we can do.
I fully agree with the video. A few days ago they released a new climate report that we are up 1.5 degrees and stopping it is not possible. We can only manage the aweful damage that is to come. This is humanity's destiny. Nothing lasts forever and very few make it as far as we have. The issue is with man itself. Unlike ants, we can't work together for our own good. Greed and selfishness has worked very well in many ways, but those days are gone. To survive we truly have to become some Star Trek society where everyone is equal and resources are managed. Thanos may have been the "bad guy", but he wasn't wrong. I've always thought humanity won't live in 200 years since I was young, because of how we are. Climate change has been forever a dark cloud in the skies and now the rain has started. Good video though. Maybe we can put it on a DVD and encapsulate it for aliens to find. I bet you they wouldn't understand how we could just sit here and walk into oblivion with our iPhones and Facebooks and TH-cams. At least Bill Gates and the other rich people have doubled, tripled and quadrupled their net worth during the global pandemic. That's what was truly important. I think they won the race of life. First place, death like everyone else.
And what good is all that money going to do Bill Gates et. al. when everyone else is dead? Jesus might well have said, "What does it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose its whole population?"
If you are a first-world civilian, you will probably live, according to most climate scientists. It will be bad, though, and even worse for third-world civilians. Action is worth it, though, regardless.

@@smilemor-phony5964 Hi Smile Mor-phony. Some ideas to think more widely : 1) stop using the word "everybody". You are doing a statement and you try to prove it by "because everybody [...]", it reflect maybe your point of view but no more. 2) It is much more personal but I will much likely judge people who uses "&" when then can just write "and". It's a way of condensing ideas without any emphasis on what "and" do : connecting ideas. Trumpist have this bad habit of copying his tweets style. 3) You say Climate Change is an Hoax, but you don't really give arguments. I can say in the same manner you did: Saying that Climate Change is an Hoax is a way for some capitalists to still hang on on the old profitable system using everyone's credulity. You have to give arguments ! (Important). 4) the last "They", who are they? you have to name it or else it would mean, me or "everyone"? Work hard! Thinking freely is a very difficult task (I mean it) and communicating interesting ideas is much more difficult!
@@baileys6346 if it dont invole profit then it doesnt matter to them, yet the profit wont really mean nothing when we are facing harsh change from the climate and things we've done to the earth
First the positives: I like the effort to synthesize multiple different areas of science and challenges to our eco-system. I also like the down-to-earth observation of human nature, especially in large groups/populations. The observation that we will be unwilling to give up any perceived quality of life to save the planet (and therefore ourselves) is spot-on and depressingly true. However, you need to do at least one thing a little better: check those references you priovide and dig into original sources. Alas, my French reading isn't very good, mostly because my grammar is and science vocabulary in French are weak. Example: the World Wildlife Federation's 2018 Living Planet report, from which the oft-quoted "half of all animal populations" wiped out (60% in the actual press release, not the report though) number comes from, isn't represented exactly. First, the sample was estimates of 16,700 populations across 4,000 species, which represents only 6.4 percent of the 63,000 or so species of vertebrates (not counting other animalia) known to exist. So, while still quite dire and concerning, we haven't wiped out half the life on earth in the last 50 years. If you're going to make an argument partially based on biological and ecological science (some of your argument is appropriately based on economics, group psychology, market research, etc.) then you need to play by the book, or your argument fails to persuade anyone who's on the fence or is a climate-skeptic but open to good science. I've looked at the science myself and concluded human-caused climate change has been occurring for some time and is accelerating. However, I get frustrated when folks get sloppy with numbers because it weakens the argument. Thanks for the broad look at some of the driving forces and consequences, though.
The part about citizens not being willing to give up comforts of meat and airplanes and leaders not being willing to legislate that sacrifice is not a new situation, we have faced similar situations many times in history. The way things have changed in the past is there is a small percentage of people 6%, that's willing to make sacrifices by disrupting commerce or ordinary working life. Like those who sabotage oil pipelines. People may go to jail or even die. Then and only then do politicians write brave laws. Also, the 94% that didn't get out in the streets will see the sacrifice of those who did, it will speak to them. Then they will be willing to follow the new law.
In terms of trying to persuade people that this is a real problem it might not be in anyone's favor to cite very subtle changes, therefor you might have to exaggerate for them to take it seriously. Our species is quick to throw away subtleties especially if it requires them to take action.

This presentation is actually one of the best descriptions of the climate change problem. Reduction to 1/6 actually makes perfect sense. I remember a list of what is needed to lower carbon footprint in 1995. At that time, perhaps using 1/2 gallon of gas per day was acceptable. In this time, would conclude no gas, no more pregnancies, far less electric, far less consumption, less ice cream, no more prime ribs, et cetera, et cetera. Would therefore need a complete "strike" against the "system". Therefore, it is impossible. Would still like to "dream" that people, GOV and CORPS would at least do something significant. Again, this vid does state the realities about what is actually happening.
I agree with all of this except for the weird anti natalist thing there. Babies aren't an issue. Human beings on their own aren't that carbon positive, really. As long as you can feed your kids, you can have them, it's fine.
@@Webexplr Yeah it was recently literally proven that these measurements and facts and estimations were incredibly conservative. If anything, what this video portrays is a much nicer future than the one we will actually get. And even if all the scientists on the globe are wrong (unlikely), that means that instead of a full on apocalypse we might get, say, a fallout universe level of apocalypse. Essentially making the planet entirely unliveable, with humans and the remaining 3 species of animals surviving on thin slivers of land at best. Unless we do something in which case *only* billions upon billions will die, with the rest basically having to sit in the actual dark ages for potentially thousands of years.

Wind, wave, tidal and geothermal are other renewable sources. Battery efficiency is increasing all the time. Plant protein is now being implemented to substitute meat itself. Aquaponics is the single most efficient means of growing food we currently have. A very large spectrum of food can be grown in it 12x faster than soil based medium, its more energy efficient using less than 1/20th the amount and requires an extraordinary low amount of feed input, the biproduct is an extraordinarily high quality fertilizer that is organic. The gases from the composting process can be used for heating/cooking. Permaculture is a 'revolution' in farming. It is entirely organic and regenerates dead soil into living soil again. It creates more than it uses and increases biodiversity. Modern Money Mechanics, Economics, Ideology(Such as Capitalism) and money are the causes for such a decline in people's living standard. We need to ascend past these primitive tools and become a better and equal society. A Resource Based Economy is the only option we have left now. Or extinction is inevitable.
We need a revolution. Because at the top are only idiots who don't even believe in the climate change. But guess what when we destroy nature, we destroy the system of the planet earth and we don't even understand the system.
@@thisismyname8627 you kill the older animals and let the younger have more space and food without overpopulation, and you know, it would be a shame to let the meat (and the rest of the animal) go to waste don´t you think?
@@Andre-gn4sj You're forgetting the biodiversity that is encouraged to thrive when you leave carcasses to be consumed by 'nature'.

The question is: we need to decrease. The idea of growth is deeply ingrained in our civilization. We don't have time and we don't have the capacity to act in a way to decrease.Going down is something new for us and it's not easy, it's very difficult. Our civilization made a mistake out of inexperience and we will all pay the price for it. And we are already paying.
It is interesting times to say the least. With easily obtainable metal and fossil fuels pretty much depleted we would almost certainly fall back into the stone age. In time knowledge of the old world and the new world would disappear and travel between them on simple rafts would be difficult. It would likely be 100,000 to 200,000 years until enough easily obtainable metal is pushed near the surface by geological process to again restart an Iron age civilization. By then the Old world and New world humans may have speciated and could be as different as Neanderthal and early modern humans. Oh what I wouldn't give to watch this unfold.
This is an "I told you so" moment that most wish wasn't the case. These things are starting to happen NOW! The case mentioned where people look at the far-out timeframes of things happening around 2050-2100 is absolutely the biggest cause on why we're just straight up doomed. They think they'll be dead before that time so they don't want to change, but they fail to realize that things will get worse and worse up to that predicted date.
I live in a rural area, and the amount of birds, squirrels, turtles/tortoises, snakes, and frogs/toads has been noticeably reduced over the past 15 years. When I was a kid, all I had to do was walk outside for 15 minutes, and I could find nearly every animal that I listed. Now, I can only see a few birds, and squirrels that are being fed by my neighbors. I only see maybe 1, or 2 turtles/tortoises per year. When I was a kid, I saw DOZENS of turtles/tortoises per year without searching. That's just within the past 15 YEARS. Give it another 10-15 years, and we're going to be in SERIOUS trouble...

And I know that that's the closest I'll ever come to space.
But I have seen the harbors, and the tall ships point the way
And our children or their children will go out there someday.
If I live a long time, and if mankind turns once more
To dare a present danger, to reach some future shore
Then I may yet see pictures of distant foreign skies
And know them for reflections in my children’s questing eyes.
And I have seen the harbors, and the ships are proud and bold
And the children born this morning may already be too old.
In our mundane life, there's no one happier than I.
I'm contented to live planet-bound, for time has passed me by
But my children and their children are well worth dreaming for
The glories of tomorrow lie golden at their door.
And I have seen the harbors, and the ships' departing gleam
And the witnesses of wonder are forgiven when they dream.
For we have see the harbors, and the tall ships point the way
And our children or their children may go out there some day

I bet this is the Fermi paradox answer.
I was literally fucking thinking that man
The great filter, too bad we didn't make it.
Thinking the same thing. The great filter is that resources aren't infinite and as a species progresses it uses more and more resources. So essentially to pass the great barrier a species must be able to achieve speed of light travel before they burn out their planet so new planets and more resources are available. I dont think going green is our answer for earth, I think we must use the Asteroids with immense resources that dwarf our own planet for metals and material. Use way more solar power and find a way to increase the amount of energy solar power produces. And when we either go to Mars or the new "super earth" 21 light years away we should then treat that planet with upmost kindness and go green, we already fucked up our earth. So after we go green on another planet and use asteroids as most resources we give earth a long time to recover from the mess we created and turn earth into one giant ass farming planet and try not to disturb animals habitats as best we can. After we have a farming planet for earth and asteroid resources with a whole new planet for farming and renewable energy then we find a way to achieve equilibrium with population, so just not making more food ever so that way people have less children to avoid starvation

Wow, what are the odds that i live during humanities last gasp.
My math professor said that one quarter of all humans that ever lived are alive today.
Alejandro Molina Gil If you research human population estimates over our species’ entire history, it’s about 107 billion. 7.6 billion is far short of a quarter.
TL:DR Your Math Professor is wrong
@@enbyjedi yeah ... and that estimate assumes that we're a species younger than we will probably discover in the future that we are, but i don't really mean to split hairs here.
Zippo.
Statistically speaking, if humanity became a space faring race, the chances of you being born now are incredibly low.
Our population is growing at an exponential rate, and would continue to do so if we began colonizing other planets. So you could compare having 7 billion chances of being born now, to 500 billion chances of being born a few hundred years from now, or trillions of chances thousands of years from now, you can see why the probability of being born now are slim.
Unless... this is the height of humanity, and within a few hundred or thousand years we go extinct. Then the chances of being born now, at the end of humanity with 7 billion chances, is a lot higher than being born a thousand years ago, when there were only a couple hundred million people.
I was wondering why he didn't also talk about the pandemic... and then I realized that this video is 3 YEARS old and still as relevant as ever!
Been relevant since the industrial revolution mate
I think videos like this are important. But it is equally important to look up some of these facts. So far MOST of the "doom and gloom" facts are not really holding up in 2021, here's just a few:
We haven't hit peak coal (but demand is slowing)
2018 turned out to be a new record for oil production, and some theorize peak oil is now at 2040
The wolf population in France is almost 600 now, and considered stable
Renewable energy production in the US hit 20.6% of their energy mix in 2020 and rising. FAST.
I chose to join with the voices and boots on the ground in fighting back against not only climate change, but also against the rising addiction to "it's game over man" thinking. Covid is a great example. People in this chat keep pointing to covid as being a end-of-civilization event. That is absurd on it's face. Plagues have been around LONGER than humans have been. Plagues and humans go together like bacon and eggs. The black death wiped out an entire THIRD of europe. So I guess that was the end of European society right? It all just collapsed? Oh no wait, it wasn't at all. What about the great depression and the dustbowl? What about both of those World Wars?
It's time to realize that a species of animals brilliant enough to harness and direct incredible amounts of energy to our needs, so much so that we are rapidly damaging our planet, is not a species to be written off so easily. Are things going to get harder? WAY. Harder. Has that stopped humans before? HELL NO. You can all cry into your pillows and disappear into history if you want, but my money's on Humanity. Some how, in some form or another, we will prevail. It's the only thing we know how to do.
Oh also, who CARES about 'society as we know it". Society as we know it is capitalist and dumb, we might as well shake things up. There's one reality humanity has always lived with (aside from plagues) and thats this: things have always and will always change. Sometimes the changes are dangerous, tragic and abrupt. So pull your socks up and get ready to do some adapting, just like all our ancestors have always known they had to do. See you out there!
exactly. The future will not be bright and we will loose biodiversity and a lot of nature will turn into deserts (both on land and water) but we will be able to offset this by growing indoors, making artificial air cleaning machines etc. We just need to invest at the right spots and not into old tech.
Exactly, I’m tired of these shock value videos getting all the facts wrong and people just simply tune out because of it. Yes climate change will be hard but we should focus on realistic expectations and not these doomsday scenarios that are unlikely.
Succinct and spot on. This comment is in that rare middle-ground of reason between extreme left and right. Shame more people don’t see it this way...

I was thinking the same thing about fusion, it could solve our energy crisis. However, we are nowhere near viable fusion unless some huge breakthrough is just over the horizon. Also, we still have massive amounts of pollution from over consumption, agriculture, etc. And those issues will have to be addressed as well. But the people with the power to change the world don't seem to really care. That goes for the general population as well as governments. Most people are completely unwilling to give up any of their personal comforts and the rich and powerful only care about what's most profitable in the short term.

@@gardenapple You are RIGHT. But those are two different problems my friend. Westerners must consume less energy and materials indeed. Non Westerners must make less babies.

As it turns out at the end of the video, the real problem is not the environment, and lack of technical solution, but srewed up feedback loop which does not motivate enough those who have the capability to do the implement the necessary solutions.

@@donfields1234 You say that, but the core issue even stated in this very video is that we consume too much. Consumption by the very richest isnt the glaring issue. Its very clearly based on how all humans (living comfortably) consumption needs (should) be divided by 6. Giving a more level economy is if anything going to lead to more consumption, which make the 'loop' bigger. The only way the 'elite' created the feedback loop is that the most educated people created incredible comforts that were first only enjoyed by the extremely rich, but now through demand has spread to almost everyone - Phones, computers, meat, cotton and other clothing materials etc. The ''elite'' took these things and made them available to everyone. And everyone celebrates it. The truth is we can either hope that the future 'elite', the scientists, and the innovators find a way to develop our technologies to the point where we can continue consuming without reducing our comforts or do just that: reduce our comforts, but i do agree with the video that i dont think that is going to happen. Never before has humans taken a step back from technology without like religious reasons - The amish for instance.
So then the remaining 'solution' is doing what we are doing right now. Slowing down the process as much as possible until we 'build' ourselves out of it (Invent a solution!). There is some truth to what you're saying - We clearly dont harbor the perfect world for this to happen since we might not distribute the required wealth to the person who could solve it, that person might be stuck working a poorly paying job just to make ends meet instead of working and studying to make the solution happen.

We are collectively reverse terraforming the Earth, while contemplating the pipe dream of terraforming Mars.
World + more CO2 = more tree growth (no exponential increase in temperature or sea level, this is not based on a physical model, but probably on a stupid machine learning/statistical one)
World + more species dying = hyper natural selection, species are selected that can actually live alongside us (even some falcons can live in cities now, which is cool)
World + unrest about inequality + (a lot of) time = more equality (in the end slavery also died, without breaking the system)
World + a new cold war + time = more wisdom about dangers of nuclear weapons (as long as a world war does not break out, which it wont since world leaders arent stupid)
On the other hand:
Doom-mongery + time = depression/suicide/obsessive activism
The most dangerous things to the world now are instead:
- Stupid leadership
- Diseases like ebola and resistance against antibiotics
- Hyper-capitalism, smothering the general population of their share of the pie (the unrest about inequality noted earlier is the solution, not the problem)
@@timowortelboer7074 It is true that there is a fertilization effect on plants from increased CO2, but unfortunately, it is not all rainbows and unicorns. Like anything else, it is a more nuanced situation because plants do not live on CO2 alone. The following are a few excerpts from a Scientific American article entitled, “Ask the Experts: Does Rising CO2 Benefit Plants?” www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-does-rising-co2-benefit-plants1/
“It’s not appropriate to look at the CO2 fertilization effect in isolation,” he says. “You can have positive and negative things going at once, and it’s the net balance that matters.” So although there is a basic truth to skeptics’ claim, he says, “what’s missing from that argument is that it’s not the whole picture.”
Rising CO2’s effect on crops could also harm human health. “We know unequivocally that when you grow food at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious,” notes Samuel Myers, principal research scientist in environmental health at Harvard University. “[Food crops] lose significant amounts of iron and zinc-and grains [also] lose protein.”
Researchers do not yet know why higher atmospheric CO2 alters crops’ nutritional content. But, Myers says, “the bottom line is, we know that rising CO2 reduces the concentration of critical nutrients around the world,” adding that these kinds of nutritional deficiencies are already significant public health threats, and will only worsen as CO2 levels go up. “The problem with [the skeptics’] argument is that it’s as if you can cherry-pick the CO2 fertilization effect from the overall effect of adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere,” Myers says. But that is not how the world-or its climate-works.
@@joecaner Ok so we're talking about the specific subargument of the effect of CO2 rise on the health of the population. The first part of your argument is essentially: 'it's not the full picture' or with different words: 'we have a complicated model that we're not going to explain but you should still believe us and not be sceptic of our conclusions'. This interpretation is especially valid considering the only subsequent argument about public health.
Before talking about that, some historical context provides the proper baseline: the fossil record implies that in general life on earth, including animal life, has performed a lot better when we had periods of higher CO2. So in general higher CO2 is good for the total amount of biomass on earth by letting plants grow quicker. That they then absorb less of some specific nutrients is not really relevant, since we can simply adjust our diet, perhaps with additives/nutrient pills.
The public health part of the quote goes on a little fear-mongering tour by noting the bad state of public health, which is of course a non-argument in this context, since people are responsible for this state of public health, clearly not these innocent CO2 molecules. A small change in the average nutritional value of plants will not have a noticable effect on the general public health when compared to the huge impact of lifestyle and diet changes. So if you can find data on how large the effect will be on already healthy people, then you could have an argument for the 'impending doom caused by CO2'. I'm guessing that this data does not exist, therefore even without zinc pills the argument falls apart.
My replies are being cut off, I wrote a whole lot about how the puclic health argument doesn't hold up, since the original thesis is about the impending doom we will have to face. The public health won't be an issue since we can just take zinc pills. Most of the present issues in public health are easily solved by lifestyle changes and do not have anything to do with CO2.
The article also says the heat will be an issue for crops. This is clearly not the case, which the existence of rainforests proves. Farmers will have to adapt, as will the plants, but in the end all changes will probably result in higher yields for the (perhaps different, adapted) crops.
Love each other? I'd take "not openly loathe each other" at this point.

There’s so much in this life that is worth living for. If you look around, there is value in even the most silly things and beings. Travel the world, go out in the nature, breathe in nature and breathe out the sorrow. We all here on earth struggle everyday with fulfilling standards and limits we’ve set for ourselves that we think everyone around us expect us to reach. But thing is, none of that matters, only thing that matters is that you do what you want to do here in life. Do not let other people’s beliefs triumph over yours, fulfill your dreams! Your life is VALUABLE, do NOT believe you’re not worth anything, you are the center of your universe!
I hope you feel better, these words might sound hippie, but they aren’t. Look up philosophy, lots of inspiring work to find. Best wishes to you!
@@RedwihteGame you're right but... that was a joke
@@RedwihteGame First of all, thank you for your awesome up-building words. Unfortunately, I was attempting to use sarcasm and humor to illustrate how depressing and hopeless the video was. In actuality, I am truly and firmly rooted in a firm hope for the future. The Bible says that only God will end the ruination of the earth. Revelation 11:18. Yet instead of sharing this with hope with the audience, my dumb pointless humor backfired.
You proved to be wiser and more encouraging than I. But all is not lost...perhaps others will read the above words.
Alex Zabala please, don’t feel bad because of your joke. You’re not less wise or bad because of it. We all do things we might feel differently about in the future, is that not part of life?
What I would like to highlight though, is that people sadly more often than not express themselves as joking when it comes to depression etc, when they’re actually suffering. It’s also easier to face a joke than diehard realities, which would also explain the struggle with “curing” depressions.
Also would like to encourage your beliefs in religion. I myself am a protestant, but would see myself more as an atheist today. I truly think one of the reasons why depression is increasing in western nations is the lack of religion. Much since it’s been people’s guidance in past.
Now this went waaay further than expected, but hope you’ll stay good!

Most people sense that something is wrong but won't act until there is a full blown crisis. Problem is, once there is a full blown crisis it will be too late. IMO
If it's real then here is what I would expect to see...
1. Government needs to eliminate high permit fees for going green. On top of the cost of actually building a windmill, I would have to pay an additional $6,000 just for the permission to build it. That doesn't inspire me to go green.
2. Make laws requiring all NEW factories be green, and see how motivated companies are to develop the green technology.
3. Stop obstructing people from collecting rain water. For every gallon I collect, it's a gallon of water that doesn't have to get processed through the water treatment plant, or pumped through the pipes which uses more fossil fuels and puts more ware and tear on the equipment.
4. Secure our Southern border so our precious resources are used up by a bunch of poor people that want everything for free.
Nope, I'm not convinced this is anything other than a way to control us and steal our money.
@Jed Eckart...I assume your talking US government? Way too much regulation/fees to do anything.
Major reason why companies manufacture outside the US. In China they practically give them the land for free and pay for it's infrastructure. They make it so a company can't say no. The USA is the polar opposite.

Socrates said that we would die off because of the most stupid among us. We now call these stupid people he was speaking of, 'capitalists'.
@@nevadataylor They aren't stupid, trust me. They know *exactly* what they're doing. To normal people, and to Socialists, the actions of the Capitalist Class seem bizarre, illogical, and stupid. But within the framework of this parasitic system, all of this makes perfect sense. It's entirely rational.
This is why even if people decided to regulate, or break up Capitalists, it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. It would take more than guillotines to save us. It would take more than "expanded government and more regulation" to save the human race. It would take an immediate and sustained Socialist revolution, it would take a full transition of our mode of production, a full transition of how we generate our energy, and an uprooting of about a damn century of Capitalist conditioning to even have an INKLING of a chance at KINDA surviving this disaster.
All of the Socialist countries of the 20th century are either gone, or almost as Capitalist as the west. All of them were not allowed to grow and develop into normal, functional societies thanks to Capitalist Encirclement, scorched earth policies, invasions, and embargos/blockades. The Capitalists then used all of these artificial failures to beat into the minds of billions of people that "Socialism doesn't work." The likelihood of us even *slowing down* our death is tiny. And the god damn amazon fires will bring the final collapse well within the lifetimes of even the oldest millennials. Not only will gen Z see it, but we will too.
And what are the Capitalist's plans? To pack up and leave the earth with all the wealth and resources they can carry, while the billions of poor die in heatwaves, of starvation, and die of fucking thirst and disease.
Even if most of the world became Socialist tomorrow, our only hope would be moving a majority of our population off planet and either into space habitats, or onto the moon and Mars. Most private companies aren't gonna do that, and the ones that do will be the ones that run the new society. The parasites, and people who killed earth, will be ready to start their conquest anew. It would be hell for any survivors forced to work for their fucking corporate overlords.
The USSR was shit, but it kept Capitalism in check, and challenged capitalist hegemony, and now with them gone, NOBODY can stop what's coming...

Redo the video knowing how poorly we handled COVID?
its so sad that this comment is over a year old and people are still too dumb too handle COVID
All things considered, "we" probably handled it too good...
I fully agree with the video. A few days ago they released a new climate report that we are up 1.5 degrees and stopping it is not possible. We can only manage the aweful damage that is to come. This is humanity's destiny. Nothing lasts forever and very few make it as far as we have. The issue is with man itself. Unlike ants, we can't work together for our own good. Greed and selfishness has worked very well in many ways, but those days are gone. To survive we truly have to become some Star Trek society where everyone is equal and resources are managed. Thanos may have been the "bad guy", but he wasn't wrong. I've always thought humanity won't live in 200 years since I was young, because of how we are. Climate change has been forever a dark cloud in the skies and now the rain has started.
Good video though. Maybe we can put it on a DVD and encapsulate it for aliens to find. I bet you they wouldn't understand how we could just sit here and walk into oblivion with our iPhones and Facebooks and TH-cams. At least Bill Gates and the other rich people have doubled, tripled and quadrupled their net worth during the global pandemic. That's what was truly important. I think they won the race of life. First place, death like everyone else.
And what good is all that money going to do Bill Gates et. al. when everyone else is dead? Jesus might well have said, "What does it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose its whole population?"
If you are a first-world civilian, you will probably live, according to most climate scientists. It will be bad, though, and even worse for third-world civilians. Action is worth it, though, regardless.

First the positives: I like the effort to synthesize multiple different areas of science and challenges to our eco-system. I also like the down-to-earth observation of human nature, especially in large groups/populations. The observation that we will be unwilling to give up any perceived quality of life to save the planet (and therefore ourselves) is spot-on and depressingly true.
However, you need to do at least one thing a little better: check those references you priovide and dig into original sources. Alas, my French reading isn't very good, mostly because my grammar is and science vocabulary in French are weak.
Example: the World Wildlife Federation's 2018 Living Planet report, from which the oft-quoted "half of all animal populations" wiped out (60% in the actual press release, not the report though) number comes from, isn't represented exactly. First, the sample was estimates of 16,700 populations across 4,000 species, which represents only 6.4 percent of the 63,000 or so species of vertebrates (not counting other animalia) known to exist. So, while still quite dire and concerning, we haven't wiped out half the life on earth in the last 50 years. If you're going to make an argument partially based on biological and ecological science (some of your argument is appropriately based on economics, group psychology, market research, etc.) then you need to play by the book, or your argument fails to persuade anyone who's on the fence or is a climate-skeptic but open to good science. I've looked at the science myself and concluded human-caused climate change has been occurring for some time and is accelerating. However, I get frustrated when folks get sloppy with numbers because it weakens the argument. Thanks for the broad look at some of the driving forces and consequences, though.
The part about citizens not being willing to give up comforts of meat and airplanes and leaders not being willing to legislate that sacrifice is not a new situation, we have faced similar situations many times in history. The way things have changed in the past is there is a small percentage of people 6%, that's willing to make sacrifices by disrupting commerce or ordinary working life. Like those who sabotage oil pipelines. People may go to jail or even die. Then and only then do politicians write brave laws. Also, the 94% that didn't get out in the streets will see the sacrifice of those who did, it will speak to them. Then they will be willing to follow the new law.
In terms of trying to persuade people that this is a real problem it might not be in anyone's favor to cite very subtle changes, therefor you might have to exaggerate for them to take it seriously. Our species is quick to throw away subtleties especially if it requires them to take action.

This presentation is actually one of the best descriptions of the climate change problem. Reduction to 1/6 actually makes perfect sense. I remember a list of what is needed to lower carbon footprint in 1995. At that time, perhaps using 1/2 gallon of gas per day was acceptable. In this time, would conclude no gas, no more pregnancies, far less electric, far less consumption, less ice cream, no more prime ribs, et cetera, et cetera. Would therefore need a complete "strike" against the "system". Therefore, it is impossible. Would still like to "dream" that people, GOV and CORPS would at least do something significant. Again, this vid does state the realities about what is actually happening.
Is there anything in this video that turns out to be inaccurate, that the said crisis is still so far away?
@@Webexplr no sadly, in fact I think if you so some research it's a little more worse.
I agree with all of this except for the weird anti natalist thing there. Babies aren't an issue. Human beings on their own aren't that carbon positive, really. As long as you can feed your kids, you can have them, it's fine.
@@Webexplr Yeah it was recently literally proven that these measurements and facts and estimations were incredibly conservative.
If anything, what this video portrays is a much nicer future than the one we will actually get.
And even if all the scientists on the globe are wrong (unlikely), that means that instead of a full on apocalypse we might get, say, a fallout universe level of apocalypse.

A very large spectrum of food can be grown in it 12x faster than soil based medium, its more energy efficient using less than 1/20th the amount and requires an extraordinary low amount of feed input, the biproduct is an extraordinarily high quality fertilizer that is organic. The gases from the composting process can be used for heating/cooking.
Permaculture is a 'revolution' in farming. It is entirely organic and regenerates dead soil into living soil again. It creates more than it uses and increases biodiversity.
Modern Money Mechanics, Economics, Ideology(Such as Capitalism) and money are the causes for such a decline in people's living standard. We need to ascend past these primitive tools and become a better and equal society.
A Resource Based Economy is the only option we have left now. Or extinction is inevitable.
We need a revolution. Because at the top are only idiots who don't even believe in the climate change. But guess what when we destroy nature, we destroy the system of the planet earth and we don't even understand the system.
Buddy, animals make permaculture even more efficient before you go taking away our meat.
@@wireshrub I know this to be true but they make it more efficient being alive. i am confused at the way you made this statement.
@@thisismyname8627 you kill the older animals and let the younger have more space and food without overpopulation, and you know, it would be a shame to let the meat (and the rest of the animal) go to waste don´t you think?
@@Andre-gn4sj You're forgetting the biodiversity that is encouraged to thrive when you leave carcasses to be consumed by 'nature'.
Beside like i first mentioned we are, as a species, making meat substitute that is indistinguishable from the real thing, from plant proteins.
While it wouldn't be a bad thing to have some from time to time, i agree, but we should be focusing on a substitute more.
This ended on an unexpectedly emotional note and really made the whole thing sound like a eulogy

A huge lie.
The quality of life now is the better compared to any time in history.
The question is: we need to decrease. The idea of growth is deeply ingrained in our civilization. We don't have time and we don't have the capacity to act in a way to decrease.Going down is something new for us and it's not easy, it's very difficult. Our civilization made a mistake out of inexperience and we will all pay the price for it. And we are already paying.
It is interesting times to say the least. With easily obtainable metal and fossil fuels pretty much depleted we would almost certainly fall back into the stone age. In time knowledge of the old world and the new world would disappear and travel between them on simple rafts would be difficult. It would likely be 100,000 to 200,000 years until enough easily obtainable metal is pushed near the surface by geological process to again restart an Iron age civilization. By then the Old world and New world humans may have speciated and could be as different as Neanderthal and early modern humans. Oh what I wouldn't give to watch this unfold.

This is an "I told you so" moment that most wish wasn't the case. These things are starting to happen NOW! The case mentioned where people look at the far-out timeframes of things happening around 2050-2100 is absolutely the biggest cause on why we're just straight up doomed. They think they'll be dead before that time so they don't want to change, but they fail to realize that things will get worse and worse up to that predicted date.
@Dimitar it accelerates

You should not give up though.
I live in a rural area, and the amount of birds, squirrels, turtles/tortoises, snakes, and frogs/toads has been noticeably reduced over the past 15 years. When I was a kid, all I had to do was walk outside for 15 minutes, and I could find nearly every animal that I listed. Now, I can only see a few birds, and squirrels that are being fed by my neighbors. I only see maybe 1, or 2 turtles/tortoises per year. When I was a kid, I saw DOZENS of turtles/tortoises per year without searching. That's just within the past 15 YEARS. Give it another 10-15 years, and we're going to be in SERIOUS trouble...
Ten years ago, my butterfly garden was always busy with an abundance of several kinds of butterflies. They are almost all gone now. I'm in a suburb of a midsize city.
@@everythingmatters6308 Yeah. It's not a good sign.
Reminds me of this scientist on florida i think where he had been measuring insect populations for like 30-40 years and had found like a 70% drop in insect populations over that time.
@@merlinious01 I live in Florida, and that sounds accurate.
I've noticed this as well in the forests to the east of Warsaw, most bird life and insects have almost completely vanished. Even mosquitoes as much as they are still eternally present. Small forest animals not even mentioning larger ones are almost absent. Wondering if it is more than just deforestation at play here all this time.
The most anxiety inducing part is the hopeful message at the end. Because I have lost all faith in humanity.
the most anxiety part is that pepole belive the end is going to end in 2100
Never lose your faith or hope. We might need everything of it for the slightest chance of survival of life on earth.
I know where you're coming from but let us continue to have hope and adapt. There's light at the end of this tunnel.
Really ? You feel for that "love each other" bs? ... Do you have one of them "live Love laugh" plaques up on your wall too?

Well just because you don't have light, won't stop from having hope. But you don't have to remain in darkness, you know that right? No one's stopping you.
We're certainly not gonna stop you.

@@bansho7076 universe will end too.....
watched this 3 years ago when I started high school, I didn't fully believe it then, I do now. The way our world has dealt with change in the past 2 years is truly horrifying, capitalism is unable to handle crisis.
Sorry bud. There are those of us who tried. Surely not hard enough but we were up against the vast majority who simply didn't care or were too stupid to understand.
@@EmeraldView:
Most of them _do_ care. Ask an average civilian their opinion on environmentalists.
@@Inspirator_AG112 People may claim they support sustainability but they don't. None of them would be willing to give up their high standards of living or die in a massive depopulation, both of which the world desperately needs.
@@atavism-dream:
Scientific consensus dismisses the theory of overpopulation, and most scientists suggest *voting for environmental policies.* Most scientists also say that renewables are a valid option. What you are suggesting with the latter is called eco-fascism, and it is dangerous.
@@EmeraldView just started college, I want to pursue biology. Hopefully I will be able to finish my degree
Well, that was the most depressing thing I've ever seen. Perhaps it should be required viewing for everyone.
One thing we can do as individuals is to become more resilient, self sufficient, adaptable. Surviving by using only 1 sixth of our current usage of resources is not so difficult, take an extended camping holiday! It will be a slow change over many decades or centuries, we can adapt when we have to and probably only will when we have to. Better to develop resilience then depression, then as the world changes we can adapt and survive and I suspect in the process be a lot happier then we are today.
@@michaeldahm214 An even better thing to do would be to join your local Extinction Rebellion group and force the issue in your local parliament.
@@TrecherousMonki I don't think that actually helps. Forcing your views and shutting down the "climate deniers" is a very authoritarian and destructive means of creating your world order. An environmentalist movement such as Extinction Rebellion will only tear governments and economies apart in their pursuit to save the planet. The individuals who live under its rule will live their lives in misery, in fear and conformity as their human rights are pushed aside in-order for environmental conservatism. To speak out against such a regime even today means to be discredited, to loose your job and get banned from certain platforms or worse... I would not want to live under that.
Try watching the Zeitgeist
@@Alexander-pf4ne If we could accomplish it, I think human rights should be pushed aside for environmental conservatism....because we're getting to the end of the path where there will be no environment left to live in; meaning very little or no humans left. Environment conservatism, is the long term conservation of the human species.

Please take a look at the global production numbers for e.g. wheat.
th-cam.com/video/zOwHT8yS1XI/w-d-xo.html
The globe is 14% greener over the last few decades according to Nasa. As CO2 goes up, the number will go up. It is called a negative feedback. Forget about MSM reporting on this.
Also crop production has increased substantially due to CO2 increase.
So good news.
But you ignore the data and imagine that crop production is going down.
@@lenm3141 well, NASA also said that in optimal conditions, for every degree of warming, a 10 percent decrease in crop yield occurs. But that is for cereal crops
Current date 5/17/23
We just got news that we will reach or surpass 1.5° C of warming by 2027.....😞
We’re already there if you use the 1750 baseline , not 1850-1900 that the IPCC has been using currently.
27th October 2024: We are at 1.64°C now but the moving averages and longer timeframe-based analyses will take longer to reflect it. We could actually see 2°C before 2030 at this point...
The earth will survive all this till it gets swallowed by the sun in 4 billion years. But humanity and most animals won't last that long.
Great video.
humanity as a whole is very adaptable. Western society is pretty much guaranteed to go under but humanity will probably adapt. Somewhere right now, people are already struggling with a difficult environment. Things won't change much for them. In fact, their lives will probably be better.
@@splitpitch "Somewhere right now, people are already struggling with a difficult environment."
That's been the case since there have been humans.
@@wisenber yes, and those are the ones that adapt, evolve and survive. Evolutionary change only occurs when a population is under stress. people think human evolution is people getting smarter, but it is really just survival.
@@splitpitch Evolution doesn't stop whether or not their is stress. External stressors just direct a different path for evolution to follow. If "smart" is benefit for survival , then evolution will select "smart".
That being said "smart" is a pretty subjective term when it comes to evolution.
People that think students loans and today's environmental challenges are bad, haven't experienced any stress approaching what our ancestors overcame less than a century ago.
splitpitch no we will adapt, but the likely cause is a removal of humanity and morality, as the only way to progress out of this is to go on a full tech rampage, destroying our planet and other planets from the inside out, all in the sake of energy needs. As well as uploading our minds onto computers as to remove the need for materialistic things, and all we do is consume our universe’s energy until we feel like stopping.
Tdlr: we will adapt but the cost is everything but us
This is why Elon is in such a hurry to get Starship finished asap
Mars is not very habitual yet dude. They need to nuke the pole to make it habitable and realise . So it’s a long way to go.
The Earth can still be saved. We need to plant a lot it threes.

He does seem to be in a hurry huh... Same as his Starlink project...
I feel this too.
My gut instinct tells me its cause of something not good, and not too far away.
This is not the way industries develop products... As quick as absolutely possible is not the way a space fairing venture operates when building vehicles for paying customers... Even his Starlink satellites looked like something I’d build on my 2nd iteration....
Watch this space closely and dont take your sight of the money flow.
Yup typical rich dude trying to create a gated community where his own actions, er I mean climate change, will not blow back on him. Its simple either human beings will survive and live within the ecosystem or they won't and good riddance. That is how nature takes care of evolutionary dead ends. Apparently smart brains mean jack shit when they can be used against one another.
It's understandable.
Currently you will very hard time to live on Mars but you never know since we have tons of new technologies coming in like 20 years it might be possible, since AI and quantum computers will be finished then and humanity will die or profit but if we going to profit then we will have tons and tons of new technologies .

Whether the facts in this video are spot on or not, one thing is for certain:
Things will no doubt deteriorate and we will realize that about 1990-2020 was peak humanity. That's as good as it ever got, people!
So much for not feeling like I shouldn't have been born, now I'm just annoyed and disappointed I was instead of depressed and disappointed!
The entire 20th century was peak humanity, imo. It was the century which changed the entire world.
Usually after a golden age there's a dark age. We are entering the dark age. :)
