- The state of the global climate is alarming, to say the least.
That's according to a report by the UN's World Meteorological Organization.
It says people on every continent are being affected, after many records linked to climate change were broken last year.
Temperatures in oceans have also reached record-highs, with nearly 60 percent suffering at least one marine heatwave.
The report says trying to save glaciers is a lost cause, underlying the irreversible nature of climate trends on our planet.
But who is to blame?
And can anything be done to reverse them?
Presenter: Imran Khan
Guests:
Leon Simons, climate researcher and board member of the Club of Rome.
David Holland, Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere-Ocean Science in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University.
Andrew Kruczkiewicz, Senior Researcher at Columbia University’s Climate School.

To those thinking about having children, please, for their own sake, don't do it. What lies ahead is catastrophic and no one deserves to be brought into this.
Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, or about 2° F in total.
The rate of warming since 1981 is more than twice as fast: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade.
2022 was the sixth-warmest year on record based on NOAA’s temperature data.
The 2022 surface temperature was 1.55 °F (0.86 °Celsius) warmer than the 20th-century average of 57.0 °F (13.9 °C) and 1.90 ˚F (1.06 ˚C) warmer than the pre-industrial period (1880-1900).
The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010.
@@tomthumb3880 Becoming unbearable. It feels like climate change is irreversible. Future generations will suffer much worse.
The Earth has not warmed any more than it has in the past. In fact, it was hotter in 1930.
Lowest temperatures this Winter in the US for 116 years. 70 feet of snow. Ice at the Poles at an 8 year high. Stop the lies.
Even if a document, agreed upon by majority of nation, is written, there will be no action to follow. It is still a human habit of talk and no action.
Efforts so far amount to a band-aid for the bubonic plague.
😄😅🥴🤢
Yeah, the idea of endless growth in a finite system has always baffled me, too. Unregulated, capitalism will devour the earth.
You are just stupid or uneducated or both. Certainly without empathy for how other people might act, except when it's about "the poor" and "oppressed". If accepting climate change as a problem and also accepting the suggested solutions gives people like you more power, then why not wait?
I liked the question about exponential growth against finite resources, but I didn't like the answers. The first answer was something about people coming up with creative terms he didn't understand, and the second was to change the subject. I'd like a straight answer please.
It’s the honest truth. Capitalism and greed is the route cause.
Innovation- if only. 😳😱💀
@@RobbieTao-fl5fo communism also causes abrupt global warming. It goes back to agriculture and then Platonic exponential growth mathematics.
It is the wrath of God upon the earth:
Revelation 16:8
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
@@dianang5461 it’s more like the “tao”.. what we’re humans expecting in a closed system?? We really are the stupidest sentient creature. Lol
Considering they should have started at least 40 years ago; the resounding answer is yes. Hold tight everybody. it's going to be a bumpy ride.
It depends on how much extent it has. Human extinction: probably not, but harm to humans: obviously yes and it has happened.
Lowest temperatures this Winter in the US for 116 years. 70 feet of snow. Ice at the Poles at an 8 year high. Stop the lies.
@@anglosaxonmike8325 extreme cold snaps were precisely predicted. That's why climate science and the climate system is extremely complicated and is not for m0rons like you. I'm glad you and all people like you will all dle too. That's the one upside to all this.
@@anglosaxonmike8325 The US has to deal with a displaced polar vortex each winter caused by the warming Arctic. The level of ice at both poles has been trending downward for decades and both the north and the south pole are dealing with the highest temperatures recorded in those areas on record. Funny how climate deniers try pointing at the extreme cold weather but fall remarkably silent or try and change the subject when the constant record breaking heatwaves are brought up.
@@anglosaxonmike8325, You haven't watched the video of the relationship between global warming and colder winter temps for certain regions.
The time to do something was 40 years ago. We are in a garage with the door shut with the engine running. The question at this point is how bad of dystopian future we want
About electricity being used in developing countries: you don't need a capitalist system to have technological progress. Capitalism is about a minority controlling the means of production, and therefore controlling the profits. That's all. It means that that small minority is purely motivated to increase their wealth- i.e. not the interests of the majority.
Thanks China🇨🇳 for continued
- building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and
- burning more and more *fossil fuel.*
I sold my petrol car and used the money to go off grid at home. I also replaced my car with an e-scooter and have been vegan for 7 years. I’m trying to lower my carbon footprint any way I can.. I just hope the other 90% of people will do the same. But I’m not going to hold my breath waiting…
Thank you. Each and every one of us must make an effort to reduce our carbon footprints. It’s the only honorable thing to do even if we are too late.
Unfortunately the old people, those in power, they already think there's nothing they can do and they know it's not their problem. Those who'll have the problem don't have any power... I don't see us winning here.
The climate has always been changing, especially since life started affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane levels. We’ve been in a warming trend made 3x as bad by humans. Overall we understand this but are releasing more CO2 than ever before.
"The climate has always been changing" - drivel! Runaway manmade greenhouse gases are accelerating climate change.
There were only 5 global climate changes, not always and they lead to a global mass extinction event 70% up to 90% of all life been wiped out.
Global warming, climate change, and extreme events - Wow, I'm so scared now.
Yea you should we are standing on the edge of a global mass extinction event.
A rather weak discussion. A more structured interview would have teased out the key facts. The vast majority of the public do not understand the core science and the main stream media and governments are to blame for this. The amount of global heating in the pipeline is proportional to the total atmospheric CO2 burden which is increasing at a record rate. We cannot stabilise global heating let alone reduce it until we stop adding to the problem. This is a far greater challenge than governments and some scientists suggest, and dim and distant net zero targets are not helping. Forget net zero 2050. We need a rapid phase out of fossil fuel mining and burning by between 2030 and 2035 in the West. Sustainable capitalism is an oxymoron.
I naively believed my government would have mobilised all the resources of the state to confront and prepare for things to come. We boomers leave a legacy that will curse future generations. Apathy and denial UK
In 1980 there was 4.2 billion people now we have 8 billion people .
Doubling a planet's population in 40 years is not bringing good things
Wait for 10 billion people in 2050. . What a mess that will be.
Government officials are paid shills of industry.. they “donate” to their campaigns… yea, very naive.
I am a "boomer", but I used : to walk to school, did not have a scooter but a bicycle, did not have any electronic devices, did not fly to next country for week-ends, wear my cloths untill they had holes, etc., etc. Today's youth should analyse THEIR own production of CO2....
What about actual environmental damage to water, land and air caused by pollution from mass consumerism incl food, farming, electronics, clothes, personal products etc. Also growing landfills, mining behind all new tech.
Save Our Planet
What efforts?
Sec. Kerry said he is celebrating Earth Day by driving his limo EV to the airport in order to fly his private jet.
How do you know that he hasn’t already cut his personal CO2 footprint by half?
This year will be very hot and dry , there is a very strong El Nino.
What effort? People should be told truth about all this.Humans simply do not have interest in solving this. It is like a fat person dreaming about loosing a weight but been lazy to do workout and stop eating junk food. We will never change.
Not quite. Other people would use the resources if the wealthier cut down. That's the problem in a nutshell.
The ideals for sharing are in power within a lot of academia, media, politics, and so on, people are even vulnerable to such suggestions because of "human nature". So it must be delayed until it's too late to allow everyone to develop or even to help everyone to survive, and on the other hand it becomes less painful to cut down emissions for the wealthier countries.
When did we start learning about climate change - in the early 1970's?! Capitalism is about private ownership over the means of production - either you own or you work for a wage. The other option is democratic work places and/or a wage-less economy where things are free. We need to do whatever we need to do and quick. We need to act quickly.
Even if politicians recognise the link between climate change and the exponential function they do not think it applies to their own locality! Unfortunately, when it comes to safeguarding the future our children and grandchildren, we are in the hands of the politicians - probably the least trusted cohort of humanity.
Per capita carbon emmision of Qatar is 39 and per capita carbon emmision of Africa is less than 1. What Qatar is doing
yes efforts have FAILED.........big time
Situation now:
Earth ambient temperature rise -> polar ice melts -> sea level rise -> heavy rain pour -> large scale flash floods -> billions of dollars loss -> loss of human lives -> cycle repeats and escalating -> a point of no return -> humanity destroyed.
Solutions:
Ignore Paris Agreement -> earth temperature should not rise further -> significantly cut down CO2 emission -> world economy set to achieve -GDP growth -> sacrifice human interest -> pump in trillions of dollars to save earth
Immediate attention:
Negative CO2 emission -> make ozone layer recover -> lower sea level at all cost -> how? -> can the world pay attention to this?
There is lot to do in climate, infrastructure, Agricultural Reform, increasing Carbon , sea rising has already begun and extreme weather.
With effort , find solutions to the cause and future prediction. At the moment El Niño is coming this year
Yes
How far up our own arses are Humans to think we can "Control" the Climate of a "Planet" lol.
STOP TAKING MONEY FROM OIL COMPANIES! LITHIUM
Nature is just reacting to all the inputs it gets,equalizing until maximum point reached..Then all living inhabitants shall bear the effects,negatively or positively..
One big reason is the ideology of equality or even equity aka climate justice. Developed countries will not cut down if the developing nations get to go on emitting. So it's a chicken game. We will do more as soon as the poor countries will accept to stay poor but cut down on their population growth. It will be to late to avoid suffering and mass deaths, of course. Having the UN run the show was a setup for failure. Their ignorance about the difference between solving the ozone hole problem and carbon emissions is painful to listen to at this point. It's about pretentious values and rules to avoid conflict and looking good vs self-interest. The first part will not overwrite self-interest but cause confusion and delay.
Another factor is having good alternatives to keep technological societies going. Smaller cars and less heating is one thing, no cars and being cold in smaller houses without enough electricity would be a hard sell.
1:42 dude is clearly unaware of the concept of an any% speedrun.
19:10 Yes, I think you really are confused. In fact, I don't think you even know what you mean by economic growth.
What is the relationship of sulfur and carbon
Global dimming. The emissions we put out dim the sun because of soot and sulfur, but also put carbon into the atmosphere. Stopping the emissions of soot and sulfur reduces the dimming effect, so temps will go up even faster. Also, CO2 stays active for circa 500 years. Especially the areas around developed countries had these sulfur emissions for s long time, so the reduction will likely cause an increase soon.
Just the same old, tired lamentation and other rhetoric, over and over, that we've had for decades. Andrew Kruczkiewicz was the only one who approximately made sense. I'm just done with pundits everywhere.
For the most dire take, watch NATURE BATS LAST
2040 😂😂😂😂
21:10 "If its not sustainable capitalism, it has to be science that's the solution"- Does the interviewer not think anything exists outside capitalism? Never heard of Degrowth, doughnut economics, an Ecological Civilisation etc etc? And he's never heard of carbon capture!? I'm very surprised at Al Jazeera for asking such dumb questions. So uninformed. 😬
Miserably
We were evolving as a global community, increasing cooperation among some serious challenges & opportunities on the horizon, but the rise of autocratic imperialism & subsequent behaviour of countries that choose to be purposely useless or coddle such despicable regimes... The world is fracturing, it could be dangerous, esp for those in over populated, hot & dry regions, & weak/poor nations with troublesome neighbours.
This is a joke, without aerosol masking we're already at 2C. The show is over folks.
Yes they have, they have failed. So what are you gonna do about it?
Let's face it nothing man can do will ever have any effect on the earth's climate!
Nuclear winter and start over.
Nuclear winter is somewhat challenged as a concept, it might not be really happening even in case of a huge amount of nukes going of.
What is out of harmony with the Tao, grows for a bit and then dies.
All 'solutions' depend on development of non-existent technologies within unrealistic time scales, while governments continue to invest in infrastructure that commit to increasing carbon emissions for many decades.
💛
In the next couple of years everything is going to break down. This will be the last chance to turn the tide around
Each and every country has to identify the problems it may face , and start implementing measures to combat same. FULL STOP
we are too late
Unless every human decreases thei consumption about 90 % nothing can be done.
Or if just 100 companies stop producing 71% of all carbon emissions
@@Callmebob124 they produce of humans.
People are just lazy and money greedy in some specific individual cases
90% of people actually
2050 😂😂😂😂😂
a pro capitalist Rome club member, the club that has malthusian ideas, what a surprise
Thanks so much for posting.
It can’t fail if it’s not true.
Efforts? What efforts? We've barely done anything, whilst continuing to add to the problem. It's absolute madness.
This video should have discussed the role of overpopulation. Here's why:
Qatar's population has increased 120 fold since 1950. The Muslim global average is 5 fold. Pakistan has increased their population six fold compared to India's 3.8 fold. These figures compare badly with Russia/Europe 1.4 or the USA 2 fold. Carbon emissions have been driven by a 3 fold increase in the global population. Most population increases have occurred in the developing world. They account for 7/8ths of the world's population.
Industrialisation increases emissions. The developing world's scale of industrialisation accounts for the bulk of emissions in modern times. The shear volume of human activity in 7/8ths of the world's population, accounts for a larger proportion of the 6 fold increase in overall emissions since 1950.
Doing a better job, requires the developing world to drastically reverse their population rises. Over populated countries with exploding rates of growth, must:
* Impose strict caps on family size.
* Radically rethink their family structures. It is a proven fact that gender inequality creates a population explosion, evident throughout Islam.
* OVER POPULATED COUNTRIES WILL BE UNABLE TO MOVE AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS BECAUSE THEY GRAVITATE TOWARDS A RESOURCE POOR, COLLAPSED SOCIETY.
* EXCESSIVE HUMAN PROCREATION IS THEREFORE AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE ON EARTH.
Hold on Maltus. A single citizen in the rich countries pollutes hundreds of times more than a citizen in the poorest countries. We must stop overconsumption
Smoke and mirrors what's going on in the background fake news
industrial countries must be implement drastic decision to alleviate industrial smoke, and become honestly to execute Paris climate agreement and other hand developed nations must be provide in developing nations a compensation to the impact of toxic in industry.
Most toxins today are released by developing countries. The industry there has few environmental requirements. Even China is tightening up standards.
😅
Saying "we've already lost this melting of glaziers game" like some distant scandinavian man u fan wanting Avram out is pathetic.
The point they might be making is that it might already be too late to stop it happening. The problem with the climate is that it takes time for things to take effect and what we do now will still take 20 years or so to truely impact the climate. That means that realistically, the heating that is already a given may have already pushed the glaciers beyond the point of saving. Glaciers take centuries or longer to form. If they have past points of sustainability, they may return but it would probably take many human lifetimes to recover.
@@brynphillips9957 🤣It's a joke, Broski. Just like a man u fan, I agree that there's very little we can do (except product boycott.) It's OK for the glaziers to do nothing cause it's football but glaciers melting should elicit greater reactions. Especially from powerful people. He seems like a fan who's being bantered and has no choice but to accept it as it's out of his control. But it's not. All I'm asking for is greater accountability and action. Nasa models have been around for decades. Peace bro.
@@brynphillips9957 🤣Broski got me feeling like bojack out here having to explain my (clearly mediocre) jokes.
The Little Ice Age was about 550 years long and ended around 1850. There's no other way an ice age can end unless the planet becomes warmer. We are probably not quite at the temperature of the Medievil Warm period when the Vikings colonised Greenland. Storms are one of the drivers of geology... how flood plains were formed? Yes the storms were violent. Does anyone expect geology to stop happening? The geological process is for mountains to erode and be washed towards the sea and tectonic movement raises more mountains... it will happen again. The planet has always been precarious for humans and always will be. Be suspicious who benefits from the vast mitigation expenditure.
We all know the climate has changed before. It's just that most rational people don't believe the fact that the climate can change from natural causes doesn't mean that magically protects the climate from human influence.
You are basically saying that if we were to put a mirror between the earth and the sun blocking the sun's rays the temperature would stay the say because "the climate has changed before humans put that giant mirror there".
It's not that you are just wrong. It's the fact that you people are intellectually inept. You have poor reasoning skills.
Unfortunately not vast enough
Planed since 1700, when they found out what carbondioxid was going to do.
Not planned. Delayed.
Yes, because we can't reduce human population and replace fossil fuels yet. Hopefully the space-based solar panel technology will be realized soon
If we take action, I mean real action, it could ruin the world's economy. If we take action as we are doing now, it could ruin the world. I'm uncertain which is more important?
we should go back to feudalism.... global warming solved!! 😊😊😊
what have we seen from capitalism for poor people??? China😊
we don't know where the methane is coming from so the problem is capitalism 😢
How many times was the word 'sun' mentioned in this video?
How many times is the word 'sun' mentioned in the comments?
If you kept burning your Sunday roast dinner. Would you blame the chicken?
Sometimes it's useful to discuss reality and cut out the BS. Climate denialism, including fake explanations, is useful to stop the humanitarians from establishing their world order, but it's also very annoying. Also, it's much more prevalent in USA, so your false narrative won't get much support here.
Let's just say what your saying is true and frankly your pretty blatently missunderstanding the mechanics of climate change if you are comparing our climate system to a chicken. Your basically saying that the warming trend we are seeing is completely out of our control. That isn't a good thing. That means catastrophic climate change and all the disasterous impacts on human life for everyone that would have are unavoidable. Your basically saying we are completely screwed no matter what we are doing.
the new god
How much has the temperature changed the past 100 years?? 10% 20%???? Answer: 0.3%.
That info is misleading. Assuming that you were counting 0.3% from the absolute zero, I would like to inform you that life is not possible in -273°C or -460°F. Average surface temperature increased from 288°K to 292°K in 100 years. Keep in mind that natural human life is possible between 278°K and 310°K. Therefore, we were 22°K from mass extinction 100 years ago. 4°K from that is around 18% progress to mass extinction, which here is 100% of world's population as of today due to us not having mass bunkers for dozens or hundreds of millions of people. Currently climate change is responsible for death of 4m people yearly, that is 400m in the next century assuming no temperature increase and same population. So good luck with having 1.2b people moved out of deserts by 2100.
Anyone still believes this weather engineering (WEF) $cam? Aljazira is complicit.
jfc just go back to eating glue, silly billie
