New climate data shows global temperatures continuing to rise sharply | DW News

- For the first time the world was 1.5 degrees warmer compared to pre-industrial times. It was actually anticipated that this important threshold would only be reached in the next few years or the next decade. Recently, scientists expressed "alarm" over the latest findings that the so-called AMOC, a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic, is about to shift due to rapid ice melt. If it were to fail, Europe would see a dramatic drop in temperatures of up to 10 degrees on average. In southern hemisphere countries, warming could intensify, and in the Amazon region, the rainy and dry seasons could be reversed. Sea levels would rise at a speed that would make it impossible for humans to adapt in time. Have we already exceeded the key 1.5-degree limit agreed in the Paris Climate Accord for good?

"Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders." - Humanity's Epitaph
Thank you, all the shareholders really appreciate it.
The planet is totally fine, it's ourselves we are destroying. The planet we call Earth will still be here for billions of years after humans die off.
@@legitbeans9078 Current estimates is Earth leaves the goldilocks zone in 1.75 billion, so the planet has nearly 2b for life habitability as we understand it.
@@legitbeans9078 So true, the planet will be fine after we've gone 👍🏽
That's what "Greed is good !" business-school teaching in the 1980s was all about. Put "Chainsaw 🍇 juice" in charge and we got efficiency and shareholder value. 🤑🥵
Rich people will NEVER renounce their yachts, private jets, numerous villas, pools etc. ... NEVER
And they will never admit that they are the problem. But they'll expect everyone else to pay for the changes needed.
That still wouldn't solve the problem because we're activating positive feedback loops. The energy sectors much change their source of energy.
Chevron/Exon/BP-Mobil, and the Chinese and Russian state energy agencies are the top contributors to anthropogenic 12C emissions, so it's the energy sector that has to change. Next largest contributor to anthropogenic 12C emissions is US Department of Defense, and 75% of that are aircraft operations, predominantly Air Force.

Humanity today is like a waking dreamer, caught between the fantasies of sleep and the chaos of the real world. The mind seeks but cannot find the precise place and hour. We have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology. We thrash about.

In the supermarkets in europe I see so much use of plastics and foam for packaging of everything. A pack of biscuit will have a outer plastic wrapper, then a hard plastic shell inside, and then again small plastic wrap for each pair of biscuits. Same goes for many other things.

Money is like crack. So long as we worship money, there is NO way to stop this energy intensive economy. WE ARE F'D.
the solution is to put a price tag on emissions globally and make money work to fix the issue. problem is most of the planet need to implement this.
@@anssiluomaranta34 charging everybody more for the energy they consume will only contribute to widening the wealth disparity. Wealthy people will always be able to pay for whatever it is that keeps them comfortable. They won't need to change their lifestyle at all. Everybody else will struggle with the burden of added expence, and will ultimately suffer a diminished quality of life.
As you point out, however, the only way to fix this is if everyone makes the effort to change. There's more to the problem than just that though; the change everyone needs to make is to willingly burden themselves with a drastic quality of life reduction. Everyone needs to completely change the way they live their lives i.e. growing your own food, making your own clothes, never travelling away from where you live. No more computers, no more cellphones, no more going to the movies, no more convenience stores, etc.

I can tell you that things are bad! Here in Brazil each region is facing different problems: in the north the heat and droughts are as severe as ever, the Amazon River is drying up (which is to be expected, but not in the current proportions); while in the south the rains are causing major floods.
Both el niño in the north and la niña in the south have intensified the already absurd climatic phenomena.
Get planting when there is water, don't let people tell you it cant be done.
Are people there aware it's climate-related or do they put it down to anomalous experiences?
there are reports that the weather extremes are due at least in part to irresponsible cloud seeding
I hope Brazil can transfer the flood waters from the south to deprived water north with engineering pipes that do it.
The problem is that our politicians literally don’t care. Once tipping points are reached and overstepped, you can’t simply go backwards and repair the damage that has been done… One of the reasons why this is happening so rapidly is due to extreme economic growth in the last 20-30 years, that is needed by our capitalist societies, but exponential growth doesn’t exist in nature (only in cancer = death) and can’t be sustained 🤷🏽♀️…
The good news is that Washington D.C. is one of the first cities on earth that will go underwater. I predict they suddenly care once the US Capitol floods.
you're blaming this on capitalism? Has there ever been a socialist or communist society that people haven't been decimated under, nor one they haven't fled in droves to escape. Try reading a little history. Capitalism may not be ideal for loafers, but it is the form of government up to now, that afforded the most freedom and comfort for the largest portion of the population that it is practiced by. Look at North Korea, The Soviet Union, Venezuela. If you love totalitarian regimes so much, PLEASE EMIGRATE TO ONE OF THEM.
When people say "but the climate's always been changing," it would be like losing your leg in an accident, and then the doctor dismisses it by say "but the human body is always changing."
Both the planet's ecosystem and the human body are always adapting to change. Besides, what can the doctor do about it?
@@sillypuppy5940 your argument is called the false equivolence fallacy. Limbs dont grow back. But if we wanted too, we could stop using fossil fuels and enact world wide carbon capture facilities.
Dr “ But you still have one 🦵 “
Not all change is the same and not all is adaptable. Just imagine if the temperature rose 100 degrees in an hour. Would you be saying the same thing? If not, then you understand the principle. The actual change may seem slow to us, but from a geological and an ecological perspective it’s incredibly fast. We must try to adapt but we must also mitigate, because if it gets bad enough, we won’t be able to adapt.
And that leads me to the second part of your comment. Yes, in that situation the doctor could do nothing, but we can mitigate. So perhaps change the analogy to someone with diabetes who could lose their foot if they don’t change their diet. If the doctor said, “So what if you lose your foot, your body’s always changing, you can adapt,” you’d probably find a new doctor.
Or a police detective ignoring gunshot wounds and saying a nineteen year old murder victim died of old age.
Everyone who has the authority to do something about this is too old and greedy to care about the future of the planet.
Grinding up the planet, putting in a box and selling it.
The sad truth 😥
Canada is on fire again. I wonder what that will do for North America this summer? Do trees have any part in producing latent heat?
Do they pull water out of the ground and release it as water vapor?
What are clouds made of?
The only data I see missing is the middle of the Atlantic and middle of the Pacific at the equator.
I wonder what 1/2 of the world's water has to do with climate?
When combined. That water area exceeds all of the combined area of all the land masses.
BUT no worries. The sun is a well regulated nuclear fusion reactor.
Do i believe in climate change? You betcha. I would love to stick my arm out the window. Chip off some ice for my rye whiskey.
I guess I am about 11,000 years to late for that.
To do what exactly?? We're in a place where it is unstoppable. There's no way to turn this around. Even if all of humanity disappeared tomorrow, we would still be heading toward the same future.
I see people trying to argue for electric cars and I don't know what to say to that. Electricity comes from fossil fuels. That's like trying to put a fire out with flamethrowers.
There's also the fact that no one is willing to live without their strip mall suburbs and minivans. To even have a conversation about transit or sidewalks is unspeakable.

Chill out.
The GHG mitigation that we have been doing over the last fifty years will not be experienced by your grandchildren’s children, by a long shot! Science tells us so!!
The significant costs to affect the green energy transition is paid for by us as part of our taxes, levies and energy charges. There is a massive lead time before our efforts will show up in climate data.
First there is the GHG’s associated with building the new infrastructure. As we accelerate the process of building new green energy infrastructure anthropogenic CO2 emissions will accelerate …. sciences tells us this.
So chill, the climate data will become worse before there will be any drop in anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Many people who are currently living in energy poverty will gain improvements to their lives while the rest of us will continue to pay more in taxes to accelerate the green transition.
Our measure of success in addressing this “existential threat” is more likely to be measured in a rapid short and medium term increase in atmospheric CO2 than a drop in atmospheric CO2.
Please note, 1.5 degrees was never a tipping point, it was always a target. A target that reflects very badly on the so called science of consensus, don’t you think? The consensus argued it would happen in 2100 then 2050 then 2030 then 2025 and walla ….. it happened in 2023!😅 Consensus does not prove scientific theory!

Everybody wants cheap food, cheap vacations overseas, nice air conditioned houses and offices. Turns out there are limits to growth and now we are starting to see those limitations.
Money is cancer to Earth and yet we constantly worship it.
@JonathanHerman-xz6zc. The only reason we have cheap things is because the environmental cost of the products and services is not included in the price. We literally just dump all the waste chemicals, microplastics and CO2 to the air and the oceans.
We could literally have cheaper, healthier food and more time for vacations and more efficiently heated and cooled homes with no need for 90% of offices... if we just worked to actually solve the problem. The limitations of growth are artificial so that corporations can make more.
Everything is about 5-10 years ahead of schedule from what was predicted 20-30 years ago. This is what I expected, considering we have only been making it worse and never attempted to diminish our industries.

No one really understands this 1.5 degree measurement. It’s meaningless in the everyday world where the temperature range that is experienced daily varies constantly by more than this. Most automatically think “oh it’s going to be 1.5 degrees warmer” and don’t really comprehend it. So the poles are going to be -23.5c instead of -25c, USA average will be 13.5c instead of 12c. There needs to be an advertising campaign that visually shows what this actually means. Not what it could or might do - something that explains what this 1.5 degree statistic really is.
Most probably don't want to or should understand it. Won't make any difference anyway.

The climate will become unstable for the current state of human activity. And Mother Nature will correct this, by reducing the human population. And humans are going to do the job as well, as we start competing for resources and kill each other off en masse. People will do what they always try to do, migrate to areas with better weather. And the people who already live in those areas will do what humans always do: fight them tooth and nail for the dwindling resources. It's no different than any point in time in history. Hopefully there will be pockets of people that will weather the storm, and keep human knowledge intact for the emerging future generations.

More and more production to meet growing populations means more and more pollution, more global warming more harm to the planet and ecosystems.
ridiculous. The air is much cleaner than the 60s and 70s. And CO2 is NOT a pollutant. IT's necessary for plant life. And produced oxygen. Only climate nuts call CO2 a pollutant. There's no real evidence that CO levels cause climate change. Climate change ( I remember when they were predicting another ice age, then it was global warming, then when the Earth refused to warm to their predictions climate change) is just a ruse to control people and for businesses and government to tax ordinary people and the WEF to create a global serfdom by destroying the middle class with their "Great Reset" and climate restrictions. Those against fertilizer and fossil fuels have already created a "heating vs eating" crisis and destroying the middle class - even two wage earning families are struggling. Without modern fertilizers the world will starve. But that's okay, because they want to cull the population and just leave a "serfdom" class to serve the elite. Who will get richer while everyone starves. And the sheep bleat "climate change will destroy us". Look to the UN/WEF to do that.
But if we disregard economic growth then how are the billionaires going to afford their new mega yachts and private jets? Also if they actually end up having to work for their money they wont have the time to lecture us about eating insects.
CO2 is not pollution. It's what plants need to grow.
we have much cleaner air in the US. Talk to China (they aren't capitalists so your rhetoric doesn't apply there) and India if you want cleaner air.
For every step forward we take in solving the climate crisis, we take a step and a half backwards. With ever more people and less sustainable construction projects and practices.

“I consider the administration’s recommendation to take new members into NATO at this time misguided. If it should be approved by the United States Senate, it may well go down in history as the most profound strategic blunder made since the end of the Cold War. Far from improving the security of the United States, its Allies, and the nations that wish to enter the Alliance, it could well encourage a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat to this nation since the Soviet Union collapsed.”

That's a bit too much panic. There are TONS of viable solutions. For one example, soil is made of largely carbon, and we've figured out how to make more of that on massive scales. It wouldn't be easy, but we could transition to a zero emission economy and even take the excess carbon back out of the air.
The only reason to panic is that our leaders generally appear to not care. If they suddenly decided that survival as a civilization was more important than quarterly profits, we'd be fine. If.

Important to note that people blaming everyone are also very wrong. Many politicians (especially left wing ones) advocate for change but you need to reach 50% in every single body for your legislation to go through.

Weather has always been unpredictable. Did anybody die?
@@anthonymorris5084
Weather is what's happening in the atmosphere, on any given day, in a specific place. Local or regional weather forecasts include temperature, humidity, winds, cloudiness, and prospects for storms or other changes over the next few days. Climate is the average of these weather ingredients over many years. For example, it might be raining in Phoenix today, but they have a dry, hot climate because on average, it only rains a few days of the year. Weather can change day to day but climate changes slowly, over decades or centuries.
@@hosnimubarak8869 Duh. Thank goodness Hosni is here to 'splain everything. What ever would we do without him? Oh and nice strawman. Isn't that the accusation you incessantly spew as well, while endlessly engaging in it?

We have breached not just 1.5 rather 2 C. SO2 emissions have a masking effect on temperatures. Countries are reducing SO2 emissions faster than CO2 as war on pollution. That masking effect will be reduced to a negligible amount in next 10 years.
1.5 degrees is nothing. We can exceed that.

the ball rolling down a slope is one attempt at an analogy. A better one is the sinking of the Titanic. That one captures the idea of momentum in the wrong direction and how hard it is to turn away from the danger, and how hard it is to spot the danger in time to do something about it. It also captures well the consequences of running into the danger. That is climate change.
Quite so, in particular, because everybody thought it was unsinkable, and the big money makers thought it wouldn't hurt to speed it through an ice field they had been warned it was on their route.

To assuage the fear of drought in the Amazon can I point out from the latest research "precipitation extremes during the preinstrumental nineteenth century indicate that recent floods and droughts on the Amazon River may have not yet exceeded the range of natural hydroclimatic variability." (Granato-Souza and Stahle, 2023)? And let's take a moment to remember The “Forgotten Drought” of 1865, plus "the recent river-level extremes on the Amazon may have been equaled or possibly exceeded during the preinstrumental nineteenth century."
And the Panama Canal limits due to lack of rain
@ProctorsGamble Severely factors are affecting the Panama Canal. It is the dry season and this has been exasperated by El Niño (both natural events). However there is the management of the lakes that supply water and the canal itself. Also the population has increased by a factor of 5 since 1950, and personal income, and along with it water consumption has ballooned. The water supply comes from the very same lakes that supply the canal.

The world isn't getting significantly warmer. Many of the gauges they set up were in small towns years ago and now have grown into fairly large cities and are much hotter but they refuse to re-locate them to cooler areas. Also many of them have quit working and so they just estimate a fairly high number and average it in to the total. They are purposely doing this. Plus they never point out obvious things. For instance they say that the warm areas of the world will become too hot to raise crops. Then that would mean that the areas that are a little to cold to raise corps will now be able after warming up to produce crops. They never point that out because it goes against their agenda.
