Where does climate change fall? Is it ahead of world War lll? Is it ahead of the collapse of the global financial system? Ahead of food shortages? What is its position? Let's start with humanitys greatest threat and put them all in order.
Agreed! In fact scientists for a long time, would undermine our efforts to translate their information to the public with hedging words... and "scientific reticence"... telling us not to "be alarmist" or not to "frighten people"
@@Rustea314 Some humans will survive. Survival is a commodity after all, and those most able to afford survival will survive. After all, they are best among us, those with the virtue to enter Galt's Gulch.
The Earth is a closed system, that's a prerequisite for enabling a life sustaining environment. When one part of that system, climate for instance, is dramatically altered there is an inevitable chain reaction throughout the whole environment...that includes EVERYTHING....this is huge. Bigger than any human accomplishments or endeavor. It's happening right in front of us in real time. Somehow there's a weird societal disconnect in that many among us seem to be under the illusion that they are somehow separate? Or shielded through the genetics of being a human? When the system crashes, which it is, everything crashes with it.
The reason we could cause climate changing emissions, and understand the mechanisms of climate change is our analytic method of separating phenomenon into discrete units of study and experimentation. The hazard comes from mistaking out analytic distinctions as real separation. Discussing the climate effects of emissions bears little social significance without being clear about the economic source of emissions. The cause of tipping points is the growth of the global economy, and that economy structurally requires annual compound growth and productivity increases. As absurd as it sounds, capitalism is the cause of the climate, and for the science to resonate for the people in power, the citizens, it needs to be expressly stated, the climate must be politicized.
Actually human activity has been affecting (causing?) climate for about ten thousand years. Had it not been for farming and raising live-stock the earth would be entering another period of extensive glaciation, according to Dan Britt. I'll link an informative video. The Little Ice Age may have been a period when human activity was failing to counter the forcing toward global cooling. Then came Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution. Some people learned they can become rich by burning coal to power machines. End of Little Ice Age, and what was for thousands of years a beneficial effect of human activity became a dangerously malignant one. Funny how that works Yep, capitalism is causing climate change. ua-cam.com/video/fKSd44XGbc4/v-deo.html
Agreed. And I think we would get farther with making the necessary societal changes if we ditched all the old words and coined new ones. All the old "-isms" come with historical baggage, and often they are conflated with incidents and structures which don't even align with what they actually are and stand for! Communism, socialism, anarchism, capitalism... Can we get some brainy creatives to come up with some new forms of governance with NEW words to describe them???
Many past civilizations have fallen when they created environmental problems too large or complex for them to solve given the technology and knowledge they had at the time. That is what is happening to us now. Our global civilization will fall because collectively we lack the resolve and foresight to act decisively in time to save ourselves. For this reason, even though the technology probably exists to save us, we are doomed. I believe the big question now is when will the precipitous collapse happen and will it be an extinction event or will some few humans survive, to build a new and wiser civilization.
There's a moment of confusion that arises in my mind at 4:00 or so: the algae species found in the ice cores no longer exist in the Ant-Arctic ice sheet, but they were found in the ice? I understand, but it is a bit confusing.
My best guess, based on projected CO2 and temperature increases and projected tipping points (not an exact science for sure) is that our civilization has at most 50 years left before complete collapse. But it could happen much sooner - in around 20 years.

Problem is we're NOT taking dramatic and unprecedented action. We're still in the same stupid suicidal debate session we've been stuck in for the last 30+ years and still showing little to no sign of snapping out of it. If we acted NOW with every bit of energy we have, then *maybe,* but we're out of time and the erosion of civilization has already begun to take a toll. How are we going to mount a massive effort to stop our own impacts while A) increasing our impacts by mounting a massive effort and B) doing all that while desperately trying to hold our decaying infrastructure together? Sad fact of life on modern day Earth - we waited until we were already standing on the slippery slope, and STILL we spend most of our energy arguing about whether or not it is EVEN REAL. But hey, on the bright side, billions of ego driven self absorbed and disgustingly STUPID people will die right alongside us. The astral's cumulative IQ is going to pancake bigtime after this one.
It has to be a global state of emergency as well as cooperation. War no more. No more business as usual. Total focus on the objective. Highly unlikely without undeniable proof. At which point it’s already too late.
God help us all !!! I hate to sound uncaring, but I feel the sorriest for the animals of the World, they did not do any of this to the Planet, People Did !!!!!!! Unfortunately most people haven't understood what has been going on with the raping and pillaging of our planet. Sadly, I feel it is too late !!!
Instead of the ridiculous "but we've got to give people hope!" shoved in at the end I think scientists should just give us the information and then say "hey look, we don't really know what to do about it, we're not really good with people, we can tell you what has to happen though. In no uncertain terms. Fossil-fuel emissions have to stop within eight years. It's up to you all to figure out how to make that happen."
I doubt anyone can do anything, you have to drive and you have to work to pay your debt ,the government doesn't care nor do most people . Literally everything has calories from oil in it ,clothes food ,etc etc Its completely lost
Do just one thing to reduce your footprint. Take a bike (regular or EV) for some of your trips, instead of the car. I guarantee you, if the majority of 8 billion people just did that, occasionally we would see a surprising reduction in our burning of fossil fuels. It's a small doable change, but if millions make a small change it makes a big noise.
you are right. I came to the conclusion that we have already lost our civilization and the Earth as we know it. We could still avoid it, but the political will and knowledge is not there. And the longer we leave it the more painful the remedy and the more impossible the political decision becomes. So we doomed.
I think the truth is that we all inherited a system designed to maximise the use of fossil fuels. And breaking out of that system can't be done alone. So yes if you're trying to go It alone, it is impossible. Maybe we can't solve it but we definitely can move the world toward a SAFER climate future. We can do enough to ensure that future human beings at least have Laboratories that aren't flooded and a place to stand to create innovations that we've never dreamed of yet.

Governments would be needed to do all those things. WE have control of ourselves, and what we do. Consumerism got us into this mess, consumerism can get us out! Change what you do. I'm doing so. I used to drive a gas car for my work, now I use an electric, there is more I want to do, but can't... yet. I hope to do more in coming years. You can do something, even a small thing. For instance, take a bike on a trip you would normally take your car. Even doing that just sometimes reduces your personal burning. Now imagine if billions did just that, and nothing else. It would still make a surprising difference.
the assumption that man is causing this is complete BS....do some honest research. there is NO consensus and none of the predictions have happened....NONE.
Ask the car industry and construction industry why we are at this point of near extinction? And are they going to repay for what destruction they did to the earth and humanity
They have been predicting this doom for years now and none so far has come true. Will it come true? Maybe. The world climate fluctuates naturally. In the middle ages the planet was warmer by one or two degrees, and CO2 was low, but we didn’t see the coastlines flood. Recently, in the 1930’s were the warmest years on record, again with lower CO2, and the coastlines remained untouched. In the 1970’s they were predicting a new ice age. When that failed to scare enough people then it became global warming. Now it is climate change or climate crisis. Back in the mid 2000’s Al Gore said we would be icefree in the Arctic and the Eastern Coast of America would be underwater by 2012. Oops, that didn’t happen. Then it was 2015. Then 2022. Now it is by 2050. It’s fun to make predictions based on poor science performed by scientists on government grants. If climate change were so worrisome, why did Obama by oceanfront property? Wasn’t he worried he would be flooded out? Why do all the political doomsayers fly about in private jets, spewing out massive carbon footprints, to attend big meetings to tell us we are all going to die if nothing changes? Why does the western world have to cut all emissions when China and others are increasing carbon production? And not criticized? This climate crisis end of the world scenario is just the same as the religious predictions of the apocalypse. Climate change has become the new world religion with all the pseudo science and dogmatic pronunciations and fear mongering of 5he old religions. We have prophets named Gore, Kerry, Gates, Schwab and others telling us if we do not believe in this one god then we will all be punished, overheated and drowned. The only thing overheated is the hypocritical, political rhetoric of our so called leaders,the new Pharisees. It is all BS.
His core drilling research said this is natural and has happened before, then starts going on about us doing it with carbon! We've only been industrialized for 200 years!
Ok, let's see if I can get this through your head. If I tap a glass window with a hammer carefully, it makes a sound because of vibrations. Smack! I can do this as many times as I like, and if you plot it on a graph, you can see the pulses from the strikes, in nice, neat regularity over time. Now, I come along with a fucking baseball bat and hit that motherfucker as hard as I can, and you're missing a window. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE. The past pulses in temperature are NOTHING compared to what we are doing right now. There's a HUGE FUCKING DIFFERENCE between a very very slow and graceful increase of minimal impact and the cause and effect relationship of burning the holy shit out of anything we can burn, creating a VERY FAST IMPULSE OF CO2 WITH A VERY HIGH INTENSITY OVER A VERY SHORT TIME. It's the difference between the sun peeking out to warm a patch of ground vs. napalming it. How you people can repeatedly fail to comprehend basic geology and physics... Man, you just piss me right the fuck off every time with your agenda based suicidal ignorance. Clear any of it up for you, or are you still lost in the fog?
It's the "only 200 years" part that matters. We're not talking about a change that takes hundreds of thousands of years. We're making this change in a matter of decades.
Sure. What you're not getting, is that we are causing this. This change wasn't happening before we began seriously burning these things. Thanks to natural methods of sequestering CO2, we can, if we stop burning, bring that 400ppm down surprisingly fast. It's a choice to cause all this damage which will COST us untold billions of dollars to mitigate and deal with the consequences of, or to change our ways and not cause this extremely expensive damage to our civilization. Your choices, and mine. We're all in this together, rich and poor, there is NOWHERE to hide from it.
My friend get a grip. No scientist backs up what you're claiming. Data proves that humanity has never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history, by any measurement you care to examine. This trend has never been interrupted including during the last 200 years of warming, 200 years of growing fossil fuel use, and 43 years of abject climate hysteria.
From the late nineteenth century through the 1930s, the climate was much hotter than it is today. Since that time we have had fewer and fewer days over 90F or 32C. Don't believe me? Go to the library and dig up old newspapers read those weather reports. Remember to count all the days over 90F or 32C in each year.. You will then see that I am telling you the truth. We are slowly cooling off, not rapidly warming up. I do not know if humanity has anything to do with global temperatures or not, but it is obvious that we can create heat islands in and around large cities. Oh, and it is not simply carbon dioxide that is responsible for capturing infrared radiation. Water vapor does a much better job of that and we are dumping ton after ton of carbon dioxide and water vapor into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. The predictions made in the 1970s might have come true had we not done so, but I have no proof of that and neither does anyone else.
The cognitive dissonance with which this video ends is startling. Just what exactly does this gentleman think is going to turn this around in time since the time for action is in the past?

Have ya heard about the Piri Rei map showing the UNGLACIATED coast of Antarctica? It means a civilization long ago had mapped it when at least the coast was free of ice. Likewise, Canada used to have a temperate forest all the way north! Do you realize that ice scraped forests from coast to coast in North America? THINK OF THE TREES! I mean c'mon, THINK OF THE TREES! How dare you NOT to THINK OF THE TREES! Do you really want your Children to grow up in a sweltering jungle full of foliage and animals and insects? HOW DARE YOU ! THINK OF THE ICE! The beautiful pure white snow covering that turns into ice! Pure Cold ICE! SAVE THE ICE! SAVE THE CHILDREN! SAVE THE CHILDREN IN ICE! Seriously now, the world DIDN'T END when CO2 & Methane & global temperature was way higher. This planet is Always in flux & reflux - it's part of being Alive. Only something that is dead is stationary. That some draw lines on the dirt floating on molten magma and kill & die for those lines, is beyond idiotic. Unfortunately, most people have a very narrow understanding of science, and the legal "system" is still beholden to medieval feudal values (since Roman law was a feudal system based on slavery - and the US is its Proud continuator, down to classifying its prisoners as nothing more than slaves, with no automatic restoring of rights, and worse, barring opportunities for LIFE). Yeah, having "oceanfront property" will make you the proud owner of "undersea oceanfront property", unless you would stop paying taxes on it, in which case ....
We should thank our global friends for sending environmentally unfriendly weapons to Ukraine as such devices must have some impact on this already dangerous situation?? Judging by such actions, the climate crisis is far from the concerns of the world's leading hypocrites..
The war in Ukraine really doesn't have globally altering impacts... It's super tiny compared to everything else going on in the world. Now, if nuclear weapons got off the chain, that would be different, but we're not there... YET. For some perspective, and this is why I don't get fussed about a few climatologists flying around the world on jets to get to their meetings, have a look at a flight tracker like FlightRadar24 or whatever one you prefer. Current stats are 12,300 planes in the air AT THE SAME TIME. Add that to the truly shocking numbers of active road vehicles, ships and boats, trains, etc, and it's just absolutely mind blowing to the point that I don't comprehend how anyone can look at those numbers and not immediately think "We're fucking the planet in the ass". Compare a two nation pissing match to all that, and the whole entire conflict from start till present day doesn't rate half a day worth of total human activity planet-wide.
this is a total disaster. Just one question, 3 million years ago, what lead to that preposterous amount of CO2 to be present in the atmosphere? Given that was not a man made thing. it is clever to end on a happy note, at least for the younger generations facing 5 meters sea level rise.
He says 3 million years ago co2 was 400ppm the last time. Sea Level was 20 meters higher than today. So why he is talking about 50cm sea Level rise, when we are logged in for 20 meters??? I studied biology, but it seems i am stupid as fuck, because I don't get it. 🤷
All you have to do is hang around for three centuries while the ice melts and you will have your twenty metres. Just one metre is a disaster that will cause massive wars.
There's a lag between cause and effect. Right now the lag is probably a decade or more, but it could decrease rapidly and all the effects they talk about could happen faster than they currently expect. So they expect the oceans to rise X in X time, but variables mean that it could actually rise faster, or slower than they expect.
Why isn't this having millions of views already?
Because sadly most people don't realise the gravity of the situation!
For most people, all they have to do is bury their head in the sand and it will magically go away.
People are busy with their everyday problems.
Human psychology isn’t prepared to function in a state of mortality and change.

Wait, so what's science's solution then? Counting on children to protest and on everyone else to buy a bike? Got any good links?
Their solution is to ensure that you simply remain terrified.
our civilization is doomed. Maybe even in my lifetime. never thought I would think such a sad thought.
My friend get a grip. No scientist backs up what you're claiming. Data proves that humanity has never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history, by any measurement you care to examine. This trend has never been interrupted including during the last 200 years of warming, 200 years of growing fossil fuel use, and 43 years of abject climate hysteria.
From the late nineteenth century through the 1930s, the climate was much hotter than it is today. Since that time we have had fewer and fewer days over 90F or 32C. Don't believe me? Go to the library and dig up old newspapers read those weather reports. Remember to count all the days over 90F or 32C in each year.. You will then see that I am telling you the truth. We are slowly cooling off, not rapidly warming up. I do not know if humanity has anything to do with global temperatures or not, but it is obvious that we can create heat islands in and around large cities. Oh, and it is not simply carbon dioxide that is responsible for capturing infrared radiation. Water vapor does a much better job of that and we are dumping ton after ton of carbon dioxide and water vapor into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. The predictions made in the 1970s might have come true had we not done so, but I have no proof of that and neither does anyone else.

The cognitive dissonance with which this video ends is startling. Just what exactly does this gentleman think is going to turn this around in time since the time for action is in the past? It's almost like every climate change video has to end with a little dose of hopium or it woulnd't even get a few hundred views.
The earth is shifting , the north will change its location as well …some part of the planet will experience becoming the north and south poles , like it has done for millions and millions years ago if not billions of years
Okay... Millions... Billions... Now about the last 150 years?

You tell me.
None of this matters.
Could quantum computers and AI. Create a solution. ei. Mine volcanoes , carbon capture bombs. Chemical reactions on massive scale that produce temperatures below zero. Paint all realities surfaces reflective marble dusting glaciers 🤓
Using AI will cause more harm than good, including massive and global warming on a massive scale due to AI's enormous energy use.

Have ya heard about the Piri Rei map showing the UNGLACIATED coast of Antarctica? It means a civilization long ago had mapped it when at least the coast was free of ice.
Likewise, Canada used to have a temperate forest all the way north! Do you realize that ice scraped forests from coast to coast in North America?
THINK OF THE TREES! I mean c'mon, THINK OF THE TREES!
How dare you NOT to THINK OF THE TREES!
Do you really want your Children to grow up in a sweltering jungle full of foliage and animals and insects? HOW DARE YOU !
THINK OF THE ICE! The beautiful pure white snow covering that turns into ice! Pure Cold ICE!
SAVE THE ICE! SAVE THE CHILDREN! SAVE THE CHILDREN IN ICE!
Seriously now, the world DIDN'T END when CO2 & Methane & global temperature was way higher. This planet is Always in flux & reflux - it's part of being Alive. Only something that is dead is stationary. That some draw lines on the dirt floating on molten magma and kill & die for those lines, is beyond idiotic. Unfortunately, most people have a very narrow understanding of science, and the legal "system" is still beholden to medieval feudal values (since Roman law was a feudal system based on slavery - and the US is its Proud continuator, down to classifying its prisoners as nothing more than slaves, with no automatic restoring of rights, and worse, barring opportunities for LIFE).
Yeah, having "oceanfront property" will make you the proud owner of "undersea oceanfront property", unless you would stop paying taxes on it, in which case ....
If you mean that the temperate forests of the poles will be the only areas habitable for human life, then you are advocating genocide.
We should thank our global friends for sending environmentally unfriendly weapons to Ukraine as such devices must have some impact on this already dangerous situation??
Judging by such actions, the climate crisis is far from the concerns of the world's leading hypocrites..
maybe they are just getting ready for what is beyond this conflict, ...maybe MrPutin is fueled by Climate Change.
The war in Ukraine really doesn't have globally altering impacts... It's super tiny compared to everything else going on in the world. Now, if nuclear weapons got off the chain, that would be different, but we're not there... YET.
For some perspective, and this is why I don't get fussed about a few climatologists flying around the world on jets to get to their meetings, have a look at a flight tracker like FlightRadar24 or whatever one you prefer. Current stats are 12,300 planes in the air AT THE SAME TIME. Add that to the truly shocking numbers of active road vehicles, ships and boats, trains, etc, and it's just absolutely mind blowing to the point that I don't comprehend how anyone can look at those numbers and not immediately think "We're fucking the planet in the ass". Compare a two nation pissing match to all that, and the whole entire conflict from start till present day doesn't rate half a day worth of total human activity planet-wide.

Congratulations, you have an entire comment section actually believing 8 billion people are going extinct in their lifetime. Total fear porn.
Hyperbolic nonsense. Nobody is claiming sea level rise at the level you're claiming.
maby its moving off the continent because theres too much snow being added to the main glacier.
this is a total disaster. Just one question, 3 million years ago, what lead to that preposterous amount of CO2 to be present in the atmosphere?
Given that was not a man made thing. it is clever to end on a happy note, at least for the younger generations facing 5 meters sea level rise.
did you consider its melting because of volcanic activity.
He says 3 million years ago co2 was 400ppm the last time. Sea Level was 20 meters higher than today. So why he is talking about 50cm sea Level rise, when we are logged in for 20 meters??? I studied biology, but it seems i am stupid as fuck, because I don't get it. 🤷
All you have to do is hang around for three centuries while the ice melts and you will have your twenty metres. Just one metre is a disaster that will cause massive wars.
There's a lag between cause and effect.
Right now the lag is probably a decade or more, but it could decrease rapidly and all the effects they talk about could happen faster than they currently expect.
So they expect the oceans to rise X in X time, but variables mean that it could actually rise faster, or slower than they expect.
