They emit more carbon, but have several times the population. They use fewer emissions to support much more people. China is taking steps to shift to renewables- to be fair, they are not doing this to "save the planet", they don't give a fuck about humanity; renewables permit greater energy security, which is China's goal.
@@UserName-us1nm I could see China cutting emissions under the guise to "save the planet," but it is more specifically for their heavily polluted cities where its citizens must wear masks in risk of health risks. Totally agree with you, though.
@@mhycoal It doesn't matter whether or not they care about the environment, they'd use the PR all the same either way.

Also forgot about the air quality factor, I'm sure that's a significant part of that.
@@davidvbobb7785 the great thing about a two party system is that both sides can refuse to address the problem by turning it into a culture war; putting ideology (and the will of the ruling class) over science. The Russians and Chinese tried that with agriculture and it didn't work out for them. Right-wing politicians will say anything about the climate up until the point at which the oil industry is implicated in anything negative. Liberal politicians try to appease the public through eloquent speech and half-measures, while still serving oil interests. The Canadian Carbon Tax serves a great example of this phenomenon.
Jerry C It wouldn’t have been televised. Although I wasn’t a Trump supporter, anyone who honestly examines the media has to conclude that no matter WHAT Trump does or doesn’t do, the MSM will use it as an excuse to condemn and try to impeach him.

I remember once I pulled out of my girlfriend. I managed to save a lot of money by doing so and help the world population problem. Give me a Nobel Prize.
He is correct. As Mr Stossel said, "isn't it fair given US has twice emissions per person than China?" And indeed he is correct. Its fair deal given that the US done most polluting doing more polluting per capita than most countries and financially in a position to do more.
@@jefryt67 But of course he is severely harming the climate because he continues to let forests burn. Maybe its fine for now since Brazil is a growing country but there has to be limits.

It was just a media political posturing for politicians to make people feel they are needed to save the planet and shut-up when they carbon tax the shit out of them. What bullshit. Even if someone is a firm believer of man made global warming i can't for the life of me understand why they think government and politicians are gonna fix anything.

Notice it’s not global warming anymore since Trump is in. It’s Climate change. As in the political climate has changed. Or no matter what it does now warm up or cool off it’s changing. 🥴🤥wink
@@bradleyweiss1089 The name change was proposed many years ago because the name "global warming" is misleading and implies everywhere will get warmer. People were latching on to any cold spell and using it as an excuse to deny global warming. In reality it's an average increase in global temperature, which through disruption of many weather systems leads to some regions experiencing extreme weather, and yes, that includes extreme cold as well. But data shows that the planet is getting warmer, ice caps are slowly disappearing and many species which are very sensitive to the climate are going extinct. Even if you believe this to be natural, it is scientifically proven that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases lead to an increase in temperature. If human activity is making any difference whatsoever, should we not do our very best to reduce the impact we're making? Or does the planet mean that little to you?

I'm a geologist, when I called my 87 years old professor, whom researched and studied the climate of the Earth for all his life, asking his thoughts about climate change his answer was:"as geologists we study the past, predicting the future it's astrology and therefore not my field of studies"

With paris agreement we will never see record temperature as we will have by then a legislation to regulate climate...preferably in Paris as lovely city to control the planet
He forgot to mention "We all burned a ton of jet fuel each flying to Paris in separate private jets so that we could make everyone think we're doing our part to save the the planet. Aren't we great?! 👏"
All aviation accounts for 2% of all global emissions. Even if the couple hundred flights taken (by other people for other purposes as well) accounted for ALL the emissions of ALL aviation, the agreements signed still reduce emissions by more. The US alone, which is an 1/8th of all global emissions, will decrease by 30%, the EU, 1/11th global emissions, will decrease by 40% etc. etc. The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement is absolutely meaningfully and only fails in that it doesn't compel its goals strongly enough. And pointing to flight emissions is the dumbest reaction to the entire thing.

I remember watching a show on tv in the 90s. They would show bits and pieces of what our future would look like in 30 years, no trees or plants, just dirt and the sun was really bright. Well, it’s almost 30 years later and the plants are still here and nothing as far as I can tell has changed since then.
Wolfman Jack Its not a fraud, but you don't combat it by fucking up the economy. We need the market to find more efficient resources. We went from coal, to oil, then natural gas, and nuclear is the future.
Matrix Man no, it's a fraud. If its not, its just a natural occurrence. The governments of the World are trying to tax the hell out of people. Sorry I don't trust anyone, not the news, not our government especially them. You should have took the Red Pill😂😂
The man made part is the fraud. The CO2 is harmful part is the fraud. It's all about making communists rich so they can afford energy in the future. It's really about control, destroying Capitalism, and killing people.
There is no need to reduce emissions at all. It’s up to individuals how they want to run their factories, and if other people are affected, they can sue the perpetrator.
@Patriot Spring how he wrote off a billion dollar loss back in the 90s to avoid paying taxes since. If that deal wasn't shady he'd be fine to show his tax return
Getting out of the Paris accord, helped those who actually cared of the environment, take advantage of the free market. The eco friendly businesses did more to make the beaches in L.A. a lot cleaner
Except that our actions are massively affecting climate change regardless of the sun. The effect of our various greenhouse gasses is a matter of simple chemistry and physics, regardless of whether government agreements to curb it are scams or not.
In Australia we had a hot week 7th to 12 th November, The Media made a big deal out of it. It got to 0.2 above the highest recorded temperature. The next week was 10 degrees below the average. NOTHING WAS SAID ABOUT THAT!!!!
It’s amazing how we live in a world with constant access to unlimited amounts of info. Yet many choose to listen to the crowd and mainstream media instead of doing their own research.
The planet has been either warming or cooling for the last 4+ billion years. That's nothing new. But we live in an Ice Age (2 "little" white things at the poles), and our interglacial is overdue to end. Cooling results in famines and societal collapses. Warming results in abundances and prosperity. And the rate of warming could not be budged by post-WW2 industrial boom. The warming from 1910 to 1940 was slightly faster than the warming from 1970 to 2000. And the Earth actually cooled from 1940 to 1970 when the biggest increases in CO2 were getting under way. Yes, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but it is a very weak one, especially at the measly concentration of 400 ppm. People take 10,000 ppm quite well. NASA set their spacecraft maximum for CO2 at 20,000 ppm. Plants thrive at between 1,000 ppm and 2,000 ppm. And "delicate" shellfish and corals evolved when CO2 was between 4,500 and 7,000 ppm.
Bushrod, perhaps. Watch my video on Earth vs. Venus and CO2. One scientific study showed the peak of rice and wheat production was just above 1,000 ppm and fell down a bit by 2,000 ppm. Every plant is going to respond differently, but the average CO2 level for the last 600 million years was close to 2,300 ppm, sometimes going as high as 7,000 ppm. What do you think the range is? And what do you base that on?
Elevation 760 feet above sea level. Yeah I'm not so worried about coastal flooding since the nearest coast is about 1000 miles. Are my potatoes going to start making popcorn now?
@@johanthuresson9522 The Paris Accord has nothing to do with air pollution. Did air pollution decline under Obama? How exactly is the US (or any country) supposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if its population continues to increase due to "open border" policies?
You can't blame India or China for the emmision. When America and England had industrialization there was no one to tell them what to do and what not to. Now we can't tell people in Africa to not progress because they would produce pollution. And by the way America with so little population produces so so and so much of population
M Row It was designed as a first step, with voluntary goals set by each country. The expectation is that once these goals are met, we make more goals to seek to further reduce our carbon deficit.
@Steven Caruso You seem incredibly naive. "Designed as a first step". That basically means not do anything. How many of these "first steps" agreements do we need? This is like the 20th time in the last 30 years that we've tried. The only reason why every country is now on board is because we've now lowered the standard so much that literally every country can do literally nothing and still be included in this "climate pact".
Whenever a group of privileged politicians and other VIP's hop on their private jets and fly to Paris (the shopping is fabulous!) to hawk their ideas on Climate Change.......well kids.....pull up a chair.
The Earth isnt cooling, it is warming, at least by what we have been able to measure. The backing for the assumption that man is responsible comes from looking at historic climate combined with historic atmosphere (ie ice cores). There are some problems with this however such as the assumptions on past climate being based on the sun having gradually increased in Total Solar Irradiance over the last few million years at a rate which is less than a thousandth of the rate of increase we have seen since we were able to begin measuring it.
Yes, the earth is cooling. It is a natural cycle. This year has been the coldest one for decades in many parts of the world. If you would ask me, I would rather have global warming because the crops wouldn't fail. However, the reality is, we are heading down into a new mini-iceage. How did the last ice age melt? Was it because of man-made emissions back then? Idiota....
Unless you are referring to the solar cycle this statement isnt correct. And if you are "Man-made emissions are not the cause" is not a statement that fits with the solar cycle. Also the last ice age didnt melt. We are still in the ice age (known as the Quaternary ice age). The ice age (essentially) means times when there are ice caps and ice/snow on the mountains. Last time the ice caps melted was in response to rising greenhouse gasses (which at least to the best of my knowledge is beleived to have largely been from volcanic activity)
"The Earth is warming." *Sweats nervously as he ignores the last 5 years of thousands and thousands of cold weather records and their proliferation into 2019.*

The simple fact of the matter is, thermometers were invented roughly 500 years ago. The beginning of the end of the most recent ice age started millions of years ago, and lasted likely a million or more years. We don't know what this planets "average" temperature is. We don't know if it "ALWAYS" has frozen polar caps. It may not. Yes, the planet is warming, that's what happens when ice ages end. Where it stops warming, we don't know. How much of the rapidity is due to us? We don't know. What we do know, in the 70s, science was in "agreement" we were heading toward another ice age. In the 80s, "acid rain is going to kill everyone." By the 90s, if we didn't change our ways, all the polar caps will melt by 2000.... then 2005.... then 2010..... all our coastal cities were going to be under water after the polar caps melt..... 2023, they are still frozen. These doomsayers need to work on their prophecies.... or at least stop excluding variables from their calculations while trying to crank out numbers that fund them into perpetuity.

Someone should ask Joe Biden: "How do you feel about China and India's carbon emmisions and can the US agree to match their contributions?
They emit more carbon, but have several times the population. They use fewer emissions to support much more people. China is taking steps to shift to renewables- to be fair, they are not doing this to "save the planet", they don't give a fuck about humanity; renewables permit greater energy security, which is China's goal.
@@UserName-us1nm I could see China cutting emissions under the guise to "save the planet," but it is more specifically for their heavily polluted cities where its citizens must wear masks in risk of health risks. Totally agree with you, though.
@@mhycoal It doesn't matter whether or not they care about the environment, they'd use the PR all the same either way. I think it's dumb even when environmentalists mention "saving the planet"; the moon was formed by a collision with a Mars-sized planet: all humanity can do is kill itself.

@@davidvbobb7785 the great thing about a two party system is that both sides can refuse to address the problem by turning it into a culture war; putting ideology (and the will of the ruling class) over science. The Russians and Chinese tried that with agriculture and it didn't work out for them.
Right-wing politicians will say anything about the climate up until the point at which the oil industry is implicated in anything negative. Liberal politicians try to appease the public through eloquent speech and half-measures, while still serving oil interests. The Canadian Carbon Tax serves a great example of this phenomenon.
I agree with Trump by why didn't he point out all the information about how worthless this agreement is? It would have saved a lot of condemnation.
Jerry C It wouldn’t have been televised. Although I wasn’t a Trump supporter, anyone who honestly examines the media has to conclude that no matter WHAT Trump does or doesn’t do, the MSM will use it as an excuse to condemn and try to impeach him.
Trump keeps his promises. If he signs something, he will do it.
And this time, he wont sign a bullshit paper.
He didn't point it out because he didn't know. The reason he pulled out is because Obama was a champion for it, simple as that.
It's possible he did - The media won't (can't) show you everything they know. They only show you what they want you to know.
Maybe it would have been easier if Trump had just explained this...but it seems Trump usually has his own way of doing things. I generally agree with what he does...so I can't complain too much about how he gets it done.

After Al Gore's first movie I began a 6 month journey studying the climate.

Asked about Global Warming, says there's no such thing. Since then we have had Climate Gate etc.....etc.....I'm now a climate change denier!!

Notice it’s not global warming anymore since Trump is in. It’s Climate change. As in the political climate has changed. Or no matter what it does now warm up or cool off it’s changing. 🥴🤥wink
@@bradleyweiss1089 The name change was proposed many years ago because the name "global warming" is misleading and implies everywhere will get warmer. People were latching on to any cold spell and using it as an excuse to deny global warming. In reality it's an average increase in global temperature, which through disruption of many weather systems leads to some regions experiencing extreme weather, and yes, that includes extreme cold as well. But data shows that the planet is getting warmer, ice caps are slowly disappearing and many species which are very sensitive to the climate are going extinct. Even if you believe this to be natural, it is scientifically proven that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases lead to an increase in temperature. If human activity is making any difference whatsoever, should we not do our very best to reduce the impact we're making? Or does the planet mean that little to you?

He forgot to mention "We all burned a ton of jet fuel each flying to Paris in separate private jets so that we could make everyone think we're doing our part to save the the planet. Aren't we great?! 👏"
All aviation accounts for 2% of all global emissions. Even if the couple hundred flights taken (by other people for other purposes as well) accounted for ALL the emissions of ALL aviation, the agreements signed still reduce emissions by more. The US alone, which is an 1/8th of all global emissions, will decrease by 30%, the EU, 1/11th global emissions, will decrease by 40% etc. etc. The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement is absolutely meaningfully and only fails in that it doesn't compel its goals strongly enough.

Climate improvement depends on what happens in China and India....not the good old USA!
I wish Canada could drop it too. But with Trudeau in power we are screwed.
The planet has been either warming or cooling for the last 4+ billion years. That's nothing new. But we live in an Ice Age (2 "little" white things at the poles), and our interglacial is overdue to end. Cooling results in famines and societal collapses. Warming results in abundances and prosperity.
And the rate of warming could not be budged by post-WW2 industrial boom. The warming from 1910 to 1940 was slightly faster than the warming from 1970 to 2000. And the Earth actually cooled from 1940 to 1970 when the biggest increases in CO2 were getting under way. Yes, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but it is a very weak one, especially at the measly concentration of 400 ppm. People take 10,000 ppm quite well. NASA set their spacecraft maximum for CO2 at 20,000 ppm. Plants thrive at between 1,000 ppm and 2,000 ppm. And "delicate" shellfish and corals evolved when CO2 was between 4,500 and 7,000 ppm.
I think your plant range might be low.
Bushrod, perhaps. Watch my video on Earth vs. Venus and CO2. One scientific study showed the peak of rice and wheat production was just above 1,000 ppm and fell down a bit by 2,000 ppm. Every plant is going to respond differently, but the average CO2 level for the last 600 million years was close to 2,300 ppm, sometimes going as high as 7,000 ppm.
What do you think the range is? And what do you base that on?
> Warming results in abundances and prosperity.
...and coastal flooding.
I have lived beside the Ocean for 25 years. The high and low watermarks on the bulkhead have not changed.

A study said if 100% of the Paris Agreement was meet by 2030, by 2100 it would be less than 0.05 degrees cooler....
M Row It was designed as a first step, with voluntary goals set by each country. The expectation is that once these goals are met, we make more goals to seek to further reduce our carbon deficit.
In the 1970s, the fear was global cooling, not warming.
@Steven Caruso
You seem incredibly naive.
"Designed as a first step". That basically means not do anything. How many of these "first steps" agreements do we need? This is like the 20th time in the last 30 years that we've tried. The only reason why every country is now on board is because we've now lowered the standard so much that literally every country can do literally nothing and still be included in this "climate pact".
And how much if not met? 2.5 degrees warmer?
M Row - I can hardly wait. In 2100 I will be 147 years old. Ah...I can feel the difference already!

Hi, nice vid. However, the earth is cooling. "Man-made" emissions are not the cause, it is a natural cycle.
The Earth isnt cooling, it is warming, at least by what we have been able to measure. The backing for the assumption that man is responsible comes from looking at historic climate combined with historic atmosphere (ie ice cores). There are some problems with this however such as the assumptions on past climate being based on the sun having gradually increased in Total Solar Irradiance over the last few million years at a rate which is less than a thousandth of the rate of increase we have seen since we were able to begin measuring it.
Yes, the earth is cooling. It is a natural cycle. This year has been the coldest one for decades in many parts of the world. If you would ask me, I would rather have global warming because the crops wouldn't fail. However, the reality is, we are heading down into a new mini-iceage. How did the last ice age melt? Was it because of man-made emissions back then? Idiota....
Unless you are referring to the solar cycle this statement isnt correct. And if you are "Man-made emissions are not the cause" is not a statement that fits with the solar cycle.
Also the last ice age didnt melt. We are still in the ice age (known as the Quaternary ice age). The ice age (essentially) means times when there are ice caps and ice/snow on the mountains. Last time the ice caps melted was in response to rising greenhouse gasses (which at least to the best of my knowledge is beleived to have largely been from volcanic activity)
And this fallacy kids is called the fallacy of the commons
"The Earth is warming." *Sweats nervously as he ignores the last 5 years of thousands and thousands of cold weather records and their proliferation into 2019.*

The simple fact of the matter is, thermometers were invented roughly 500 years ago. The beginning of the end of the most recent ice age started millions of years ago, and lasted likely a million or more years. We don't know what this planets "average" temperature is. We don't know if it "ALWAYS" has frozen polar caps. It may not. Yes, the planet is warming, that's what happens when ice ages end. Where it stops warming, we don't know. How much of the rapidity is due to us? We don't know. What we do know, in the 70s, science was in "agreement" we were heading toward another ice age. In the 80s, "acid rain is going to kill everyone." By the 90s, if we didn't change our ways, all the polar caps will melt by 2000.... then 2005.... then 2010..... all our coastal cities were going to be under water after the polar caps melt..... 2023, they are still frozen. These doomsayers need to work on their prophecies.... or at least stop excluding variables from their calculations while trying to crank out numbers that fund them into perpetuity. Trump was correct, we don't need to waste billions being the biggest spender. But we also don't have better technology that can produce energy pound for pound as safely as fossil fuels.
