The problem is economics provides a distorted view of reality. Economists ‘externalize’ nature, and present ‘the economy’ in mechanistic terms, as a complex machine. This has psychologically broken the real linkages of people with reality. So instead of associating food with healthy growing conditions, and shelter with a stable climate, people associate health and safety with income and financial markets. In our minds, we have replaced the role of nature with the economy. This was intentional. Climate change is the symptom, or effect, of pollution. The cause is economic production/consumption. Carbon emissions are closely correlated to both per capita, and global GDP.

We’d all be doing better mentally and physically if most of us weren’t still expected to spend our lives enriching the ghouls who are driving this crisis in the first place and were instead allowed to work to solve the problems we face. Even as a teacher, I’m not doing anything to improve our future. Prepping a bunch of chronically depressed and anxious teens to pass a test while haranguing them over their phone addictions doesn’t inspire hope. We’re just preparing these kids for a life that won’t exist in a couple decades. How much longer are we going to allow this farce to continue? Cognitive dissonance is the crutch on which we all stand.
Also a teacher, in America and in Asia. In Asia students come in, "Hello teacher!" put their cell phones away, open their books and notebooks and engage in open class debate without bullying. *I would teach there for free.* In America I walk into a class boys have the desks set in a cage match, ground and pound, girls shrieking bawdy catcalls, until before lunch the worst sneak out to pick up their drug drops.

My takeaway is that humans don’t like change, uncertainty or personal responsibility. We do what we can to lie to ourselves about reality in order to be comfortable with our lives. Our mental laziness is killing the planet and each other.
"humans don’t like change, uncertainty or personal responsibility" - exactly, look at anyone over the age of 6 and you can guess with 90% accuracy what they will do from what they did yesterday. I relate it to trying to get the world to give up smoking, it isn't really terribly addictive physically but it is very addictive psychologically.
your problem is you project the behavior of 1% of the species (well off people) onto the rest of us. most people dont act like the people who have control of all the earths resources right now. they just want to maybe have a family and not get tortured to death by maniac eurocentrics in their fortune conquests.
Learning is change, and learning is exploring and discovering, like crawling to walking, learning to speak, so as long as the motivation for change and learning come from within, humans are willing to change. If changing is not perceived as beneficial, even considered an inconvenience, and is considered involuntary and externally forced, then even the idea of change will definitely be resisted or rejected.
Ecologists over 100 years ago also described the oceans as "the tragedy of commons". Math, science and physics can explain everything in our natural world, for every degree warmer, the atmosphere holds 7% more moisture. Atmospheric rivers will become more common as well as drought.
I was explaining atmospheric rivers to my husband just a few hours ago. He believes that climate change is a threat, but because we live in what is a fairly stable area - currently - I don't think he accepts in his mind that climate collapse is going to happen in his lifetime. In fact, he just did what he always does when I raise a climate related news issue, go quiet, mumble, flick through his smartphone until I stop. However, I have convinced him to change his vote in the forthcoming elections. He'll be Green this time. We know Green won't win, again. It never does. In the election paraphernalia dropping through our letterbox - only the Greens mention climate at all The rest just crank out the usual rubbish that they never solve anyway - economy, equality, blah blah blah. It's the fact that climate collapse is imminent that people are blocking from their minds. They use a variety of defences to stop from listening - denial, fear, or drowning out the warnings by fully occupying their thoughts with other things, be it entertainment, activity, or other far less pressing issues that they feel they can realistically help change (For instance: AI dominance, inequality... The reality is, neither of these issues are going to mean a bean if there's no habitable planet for them to be an issue on, so why bother even considering, let alone campaigning, about them)? 4-5 years of inaction, and I reckon we will see large uninhabitable zones spreading quicker than the rate of human-induced desertification ever did (both in sea and on land). But no one is going anywhere near fast enough to address it. And you can see why not if you pay attention to the flood of ever more attractive advertising gimmicks being thrown at us: Fossil fuel companies pretending to be caring friends of the environment. Cars being produced like fast fashion products. Fast fashion itself. Make up ads. The amount of make up containers being found in the ocean, inside animals is just criminal. And yet these beauty product companies seek more and more ways to convince women to create even more plastic waste, not less. And as for travel. I'm inundated daily with unwanted adverts encouraging me to fly or cruise around the world in the top 2 worst forms of transport for pollution, just so I can add myself to the massive hordes of tourists that are causing local degradation of environments, ancient sites, local peace and harmony, and housing opportunities for native peoples.
The international-accepted 'global warming' is 1.2?°C since industrialization. That's 0.025°C per year or +0.005% above freezing. *So your 7% more water vapor claim is only increasing by +0.03% per year.* ¿And that's your best "math and science explains floods" attempt? 😂🎉

They concluded a convo about delay tactics (in the narrow context of fossil fuel use) by saying we need to shift to renewables. A massive shift to renewables would not only ALSO destroy the planet, it isn't physically possible in the small amount of time we have left. The shift to renewables is, itself, a form of delay-ism in the hopes that capitalism can be saved. It's maddening watching the so-called experts and scientists miss the forrest for the trees.
Excellent reporting, Al Jazeera! I salute the scientist Michael E. Mann for his extraordinary work and love for the planet. ( Our only one planet to live!)
One important issue is missing. The reason people are losing interest in the issue of global warming is because the media announces plans for new wind power plants and large-scale solar power plants. (They only want subsidies, and from an electrical engineer's point of view, an increase in unstable power sources will not solve anything.) And people who see the reports tend to take the easy way out and assume that someone will solve global warming, which is disconnected from reality. Now is the time to reduce electrical energy and CO2 emissions as much as possible and decide what is really effective. Electrical energy consumption can be reduced by about half if taken seriously. (I am already practicing)
The die has been cast. According to a NASA web page: "Arctic permafrost alone holds an estimated 1,700 billion metric tons of carbon, including methane and carbon dioxide. That’s roughly 51 times the amount of carbon the world released as fossil fuel emissions in 2019." The Arctic permafrost is slowly disappearing, and it is bound to accelerate.
Companies that produce plastic products sometimes use a cheaper non-recyclable plastic and mass produce it. The resin identication code is used to identify which plastics can be recycled. The worse thing is that the resin identification code is similar to the symbol for recycling. So people tend to mistake it for something that can be recycled. Not to mention that recycling polymers is incredibly difficult and costly. Companies are better off making their own plastic rather than using recycled ones simply because it is cheaper. A lot of the products we use, inc clothing, uses some sort of oil in it to produce it. The making of electronics also produces pollution. Making massive windmills and solar panel arrays will produce pollution. They won't produce pollution when generating power, but making them will still produce some sort of pollution. People are also unwilling to sacrifice their lifestyle to help with climate change, which is by far the largest factor. Everything we do, including recycling will make pollution.
Because it has not be been made mandatory to follow some rule to tackle global warming,just like people in many countries uses plastic for commodities purchase
We are winning. The question is whether we will win ON TIME. When almost 85% of the fossil fuel energy that drives the global economy has to be abandoned, we are talking of a new civilization. That's the hidden message of ecological economics, that has been quietly pushing the transformation required.
we could dramatically improve every humans quality of life and easily/completely fix the climate at the same time by abolishing all military activity, the thing thats actually responsible for most emissions and most environmental destruction.. its also the thing that corrupt people use to protect themselves from consequences. so it kills like 55 birds with one stone.
the solution to all the many millions of workers in the fossil fuel industries not wanting to lose their jobs and therefore fighting against any change, would be to make it financially worthwhile for people to SHARE the jobs we need people to do and work much less. .It's the only way they could all be quickly offered an alternative job.
This is a recurring problem that building up as a result of so many ages, inventions, and natural resources. There is dependency on these ideas for so many reasons like employment, and massive market needs for those products. so, this is the problem of one era that needs urgent attention and solved flexibly and smoothly without any human negativity surrounding it in the next knowledge worker era. Normal people adapt no matter which era but in knowledge workers eras like these on computers and the internet where information flows smoothly we can solve without much further climate crisis. Highly interdependency and highly dependent on each other. thank you.
There was a point in my life before I was 2 years of age in which I came to the realization that "worrying" solves nothing, and crying about anything accomplished the same...So, why worry about what is beyond our control🤔? It wont change anything...Voicing our opinions on the other hand, does have more effect on certain issues, but not on the weather! No matter how many papers are written about climate changes, or "laws" about Nature be written (Newton) Nature will not change or be influenced in any way by such Laws or Papers...That only affects 🤔...."Some" elements of Nature, not Nature as a whole. 😎

Talk about denial. I just listened to a very well done episode on the problems we humans have when it comes to recognizing the global climate change. This episode was almost 30 minutes long. At the end we are asked to be more alert as to how we are being manipulated. Nowhere did anyone connect the rather obvious dots that suggest an important hindrance to tackling this problem is that only global capital benefits from our continued rush to annihilate conditions for life on our planet. Could only benefit in the short term, of course, because should we all die there is no more profit to be made. As soon as we evolve nation states willing to reign in the excesses of capitalism for the common long-term good, then we would have solved this and many other problems. Even the evil doers in this scenario know that this is true - the source of our problem is our ideological commitment to rapacious capitalism. They know this to be true because some suggest that climate activism is part of a plan to attack capitalism. If only that were more true.

I have done as what you said and I can tell there are some channels, even small, but do give info and insight about climate changes, natural world related issues. it is perhaps too much to read IPCC report, just have the mind that things are in solid foundation and so we can easier to access instead of finding different facts to prove. I can say this channel is good and presents the way public can easily understand. No matter we could win to keep below 1.5 C or not, we have to keep fighting. Also have our mind relax, and take actions and tell ourselves we do our parts. I am just afraid the fear is too much for most people, and so we need to mentally prepare to keep us work on. It is no doubt as people take actions, some industries would be changed or even some businesses closed and unemployment. But people can find new jobs and in fact, market has been changed since the beginning. We only need to accept whatever not suitable, it would gone. i do think govt can do something about this.

In the mountain west of the US. Our home insurance and electricity industries are collapsing because of the frequent fires. The fires and smoke peak during prime national park tourism season, so on bad fire and smoke years, tourist towns take a bid hit. And hundreds of families lose their homes in the fires, half of who no longer have insurance. So they lose hundreds of thousands in equity.

The real climate story is this: In 1992 the UNFCCC agreement stipulated safe concentrations. In 1994 it was ratified and came into effect. A year later the IPCC, in its second assessment report (section 1.7), ignored this stipulation and switched the goal to reduced emissions. This permitted GHG concentrations to rise to today's catastrophic levels. Neither Mann nor Oreskes mentioned this critical point because the main task of climate scientists today is to conceal this betrayal of humankind and nature.
I'm ignoring "The Climate Crisis" as I live in the UK and was hoping global warming was true to help reduce my heating bill. Unfortunately it's all BS.
Increase in global average temperature does not mean the same result in every place on the globe. That's the nature of "average". We in this chaotic region of the UK, where so many weather systems battle for influence, will get increased chaos - not nice, simple, increased warmth. Same as, whatever happens to the economy on average, will not guarantee the same result for each individual household.

@@steveb3060 "My advice is try to spot scams because some are worse than others.

This has nothing to do with natural cycles, and our emissions are currently warming the planet ~20 times warming than natural cycles warm it when coming out of an ice age. In turn, that rapid warming is harming people, societies, economies, other species, and the ecosystems our lives depend on in hundreds of ways. So, the climate crisis is real, lethal, urgent, and WE caused it, and if are serious about following the money, you'll see all the climate denier propaganda--some of which you just repeated--has been funded by big oil.

Thanks for the weather report in a climate discussion? The changing climate includes a weakened and wavier jet stream that can cause polar air to meander into areas where it shouldn't be. That wavy jet stream pattern is also prone to get stuck, so that "cold snap" or heat wave will stick around longer.

@@307alexk Thanks for your reply. "How is the climate going to cause a collapse?" Not-so-fun facts: Humans have already raised global CO2 levels by ~50%, CO2 levels are now the highest they have been in ~14 million years, and the main “kill mechanism” for most major and minor mass extinctions of life on Earth was significant changes in global CO2 levels. So, what are we doing about it? We are currently raising global CO2 levels ~9-10 times faster than they increased before the worst mass extinction event in earth’s history. Every time you burn just one gallon of gas in your car or truck, you add 20 more pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere where most of it will remain for centuries. "What does "chemical and plastic pollution, fertility, the capitalist economy, and societies" have to do with Climate change? Those are other unrelated problems." Those are NOT related to climate, but I'm trying to introduce the big-picture thing that experts are correctly scared about which is that this industrialized capitalist civilization is itself unsustainable. Modern civilization is a self-terminating system because it destroys all the sustaining conditions that made the rise of civilization possible in the first place, including a stable climate, abundant natural resources, a chemically-unpolluted world, lush ecosystems, staggering biodiversity, and social cohesion. I'm simply answering your question about what we should be scared about, and the young people who are terrified about the future have an accurate grasp on things and those who assume modern civilization will just continue on like this are the ones in for a rude surprise.

Plummeting fertility rates for humans and wildlife alike is what collapse looks like.

Congress was briefed on it in the 1980s, etc. This is a big grading day for me (end of a summer semester) but I'll share more details tonight or tomorrow.
I don't know how anyone can not think about climate change quite often these days, because the evidence that it's happening in real time, right in front of our faces. I think about it every day, because I can see the change in the climate that has happened just in the last few years. I don't see evidence that the human race is taking climate change seriously yet. By the time the change in the climate becomes too hard to ignore, and we're finally committed to reducing our carbon footprint, it will be too late. Sorry to sound pessimistic. That's just the reality of it.
We need to reduce our overall footprint, not just our carbon footprint. The quest for green growth is just another delusional death-trap. Degrow or die, that's the choice we must face if we are to avoid extinction. We'll almost surely NOT face reality and succumb to our fate. RIP humanity, death by consumption and hubris.
no one ever said that. If anything climate scientists have figured our over the past decades that they were infact 2 optimistic in their prognoses and simulations. We are headed for certain desaster but it will take another decade or 2 to get really really doomsdayish.

I was thinking about it and then tried to find solutions . But, what's the use?? In 1960s the sustainable human population was said to be 6 billion. Then innovation in fertilizer and food production technology helped fuel the population. Now everything from food production till it reaches us is dependent on Fossil fuel. How can we even untangle ourselves from fossil fuel, without destroying food production and supply? With extreme temperatures, we need more fossil fuels to protect crops. So, i just started ignoring everything .
sustainable policrop agriculture like agroforestry or sintropical agriculture or permaculture can potentially produce more food per m² than monoculture even without any fossil fuels and also help increase biodiversity. And even if we leave things as they are. Just the widespread usage of terra preta could turn farmland into huge carbon sinks. Also another very importand factor... 80% of farmland is used to produce meat and dairy products or farmed fish while providing only around 17% of calories and 38% of proteins in our food worldwide. So if we switched to another diet we could solve quiet a few issues. And maybe we should stop throwing away allmost 40% of the food that is produced like the US currently does. There are quite a few solutions out there tbh.
You can always experiment. trap yourself in a box with all your energy usage and air. Ai can simulate it for you thankfully. imagine your life in this box, then imagine the energy usage of our rich people :( "Each person has about 6.44×1086.44×10 8 kg of the Earth's atmosphere. A typical car and household emit about 14,282 kg of CO2 per year. It would take approximately 45 years for the CO2 levels to reach 0.1% (1,000 ppm) and become unhealthy if all emissions were confined to this volume of atmosphere."
yes earth climate has been changing over the course of several thousand years. It has never changed in the timespan of only a couple hundred years. The current global warming is around 10x faster then after the end of the last ice age. And since we did not have a massive increase in volcanic activities or other factors that play a significant role it only leaves us as the culprit.

Sorry, this is all complete nonsense. This is not about the psychology of ordinary people. It is very simple. At the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, world leaders promised to address this crisis. 32 years ago, no one was saying they weren't sure about climate change. I know, I was a science student, studying climate science, in 1992. It was absolutely certain. Absolutely, the only question, is why have our leaders not taken the action they promised to take 32 years ago? We have a hierarchical system, where only one person can take these big decisions. And they have taken big decisions. Started a war on terrorism, invaded Iraq and far more. These leaders, can take pretty big actions if they want. But strangely, whilst agreeing to take major climate action over 30 years ago, they have taken none. This is the only psychology at work here. People have no idea what action governments are planning, and how they are taking it, because they keep it all secret. I can show you academic studies of public opinion about climate change, which prove that most people were concerned about climate change, and wanted action 35 years ago. Their leaders promised major climate action, and they voted for the politicians that promised it. Once again, absolutely the only question, is why our leaders never took the action they promised. The treaty that set up the UNFCCC, which set up the COP talks was signed at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Has anyone here actually read the UNFCCC?
Yes, leaders have not led, but blaming it all on leaders when 40-70% of climate impacts are controlled by individuals--and WE can change governments--is to infantilize and disempower ourselves.

The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed: Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions), Aridity, Avalanche (snow), Average precipitation, Average Wind Speed, Coastal Flood, Agricultural drought, Hydrological drought, Erosion of Coastlines, Fire Weather (hot and windy), Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods), Frost, Hail, Heavy Rain, Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms, Landslides, Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Acidity, Radiation at the Earth’s Surface, River/Lake Floods, Sand and Dust Storms, Sea Level, Severe Wind Storms, Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets, Tropical Cyclones.
"Gobal mean sea level (GMSL) is rising at an accelerated rate since the 19th century (high confidence), almost doubled during past two decades (about 0.1 mm yr-2). GMSL increase over the 20th century faster than over any preceding century in at least the last three millennia (high confidence). Up to 2050, limited scenario/GWL dependency (likely sea level rise about 0.15-0.30 m). By 2100, likely GMSL rise with respect to 1995-2014 of 0.51 (0.40-0.69) m, 0.62 (0.50-0.81) m and 0.70 (0.58-0.91) m for, respectively, GWLs of 2.0°C, 3.0°C, and 4.0°C (medium confidence). Deep uncertainty in projections for GWLs >3°C because of ice-sheet behaviour. For example, incorporation of low confidence "
@Richard482 Sea level appears to be rising at a small 3mm per year. Atolls in the Pacific nations of the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, as well as the Maldives archipelago in the Indian Ocean, have risen up to 8 percent in size (Ford and Kench, 2020). 89% of the globe’s islands and 100% of large islands have stable or growing coasts (Duvat, 2019). No island larger than 10ha decreased in size. As regards NOAA tide gauge data, let's look at some examples from around the world. N.B. All sites show a linear Relative Sea Level Trend: Kanmen, China 2.40mm/yr; Sydney, Australia 0.75mm/yr; Ferandina Beach, Florida 2.20mm/yr; Los Angeles, California 1.04mm/yr; Mera, Japan 3.8mm; Cascais, Portugal 1.32mm/yr; Newlyn, UK 1.94mm/yr. Jevrejeva, et al (2014) estimated 2 mm/year (± 0.3), and Church and White (2006) estimated 1.7mm/year (± 0.3). So that's a total rise of between 126 and 151mm (less than 6 inches) from 2024 to the end of the century. Or try PSMSL data: Kwajalein (Marshall Islands) 1.95mm/yr; Maldives (Indian Ocean) 3.21mm/yr; Lautoka (Fiji Islands, Pacific Ocean) 3.50mm/yr; Port Elisabeth (South Africa) 2.34mm/yr. Remember, all linear over many decades, or more than a century. Anyway, if you prefer satellite data NOAA's trend was +3.0mm/year Global Mean Sea Level (1993-2022), again linear last time I looked for each set of satellite data (but hey, it may have accelerated in the last month). NASA satellite data (1993-present) for Global Mean Sea Level shows a rise of 3.3mm per year. That's the same as two stacked penny coins. There is no relationship to the exponential increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. It's going to be decades before even your big toe is submerged.
@@OldScientist "The global mean sea level (GMSL) rise under RCP2.6 is projected to be 0.39 m (0.26-0.53 m, likely range) for the period 2081-2100, and 0.43 m (0.29-0.59 m, likely range) in 2100 with respect to 1986-2005. For RCP8.5, the corresponding GMSL rise is 0.71 m (0.51-0.92 m, likely range) for 2081-2100 and 0.84 m (0.61-1.10 m, likely range) in 2100. Mean sea level rise projections are higher by 0.1 m compared to AR5 under RCP8.5 in 2100, and the likely range extends beyond 1 m in 2100 due to a larger projected ice loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (medium confidence). The uncertainty at the end of the century is mainly determined by the ice sheets, especially in Antarctica. {4.2.3, Figures SPM.1, SPM"
@Richard482 The problem with all these models and projections is that Antarctica is not playing the game. The whole of East and West Antarctica is cooling, and has been for 40 years. East Antarctica has cooled by an impressive 0.7°C per decade. Resulting in an overall substantial and statistically significant decline of 2.8°C since 1980. So much for "Global" warming. I am referring to a paper by Zhu et al (2021) that looked at the reanalysed ERA5 satellite dataset. Check out table 4. Furthermore, the Antarctic Peninsula ice has since been shown to be on the increase “The eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet has grown in area over the last 20 years, due to changing wind and sea ice patterns.” (University of Cambridge, May, 2022.) In reality, "there have been statistically significant positive trends in total Antarctic sea ice extent since 1979." (Fogt et al, 2022. Published in Nature) "since 1979 is the only time all four seasons demonstrate significant increases in total Antarctic sea ice in the context of the twentieth century". A study of Antarctic ice shelves from 1980 to 2021 (Banwell et al, 2023) showed meltwater volume dropped with "decreasing trend in both annual melt days and meltwater production volume over the 41 years.” "Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km² since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade." (Andreasen et al, 2023). It is from a paper entitled "Change in Antarctic Ice Shelf Area from 2009 to 2019". They use MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data to measure the change in ice shelf calving front position and area on 34 ice shelves in Antarctica from 2009 to 2019. Also, as the mass gain (661Gt) was given, you could calculate the volume of the ice gained using the formula: Volume = Mass ÷ Density (assume Density of glacier ice 0.9167 Gt/km³). This would give you (well not you obviously) an Ice Gain Volume ≈721km³. That's how much extra of the lovely white stuff there is around Antarctica. Imagine standing in the centre of this extra ice. It would stretch beyond the horizon in all directions and would be 45 storeys high. The Greenland ice sheet is thought to contribute 0.7mm/yr to sea-level rise. That sounds small because it is pitifully small. Antarctica contributes 0.36mm to sea-level rise per year. (That's essentially nothing as well.) The remainder is due to the thermal expansion of the ocean, and is a signal of past warming rather than current.
@@donHooligan dopey pop psychology from from the corporate hive mind? What a surprise. You can tell you’ve been well indoctrinated when you believe all comments criticizing the narrative of the media party must come from the “far right.”
The problem is economics provides a distorted view of reality. Economists ‘externalize’ nature, and present ‘the economy’ in mechanistic terms, as a complex machine. This has psychologically broken the real linkages of people with reality. So instead of associating food with healthy growing conditions, and shelter with a stable climate, people associate health and safety with income and financial markets. In our minds, we have replaced the role of nature with the economy. This was intentional. Climate change is the symptom, or effect, of pollution. The cause is economic production/consumption. Carbon emissions are closely correlated to both per capita, and global GDP.

My takeaway is that humans don’t like change, uncertainty or personal responsibility. We do what we can to lie to ourselves about reality in order to be comfortable with our lives.
Our mental laziness is killing the planet and each other.
Truth
"humans don’t like change, uncertainty or personal responsibility" - exactly, look at anyone over the age of 6 and you can guess with 90% accuracy what they will do from what they did yesterday. I relate it to trying to get the world to give up smoking, it isn't really terribly addictive physically but it is very addictive psychologically.
Spot on
your problem is you project the behavior of 1% of the species (well off people) onto the rest of us. most people dont act like the people who have control of all the earths resources right now. they just want to maybe have a family and not get tortured to death by maniac eurocentrics in their fortune conquests.
Learning is change, and learning is exploring and discovering, like crawling to walking, learning to speak, so as long as the motivation for change and learning come from within, humans are willing to change. If changing is not perceived as beneficial, even considered an inconvenience, and is considered involuntary and externally forced, then even the idea of change will definitely be resisted or rejected.
Ecologists over 100 years ago also described the oceans as "the tragedy of commons". Math, science and physics can explain everything in our natural world, for every degree warmer, the atmosphere holds 7% more moisture. Atmospheric rivers will become more common as well as drought.
I was explaining atmospheric rivers to my husband just a few hours ago.
He believes that climate change is a threat, but because we live in what is a fairly stable area - currently - I don't think he accepts in his mind that climate collapse is going to happen in his lifetime.
In fact, he just did what he always does when I raise a climate related news issue, go quiet, mumble, flick through his smartphone until I stop.
However, I have convinced him to change his vote in the forthcoming elections. He'll be Green this time. We know Green won't win, again. It never does. In the election paraphernalia dropping through our letterbox - only the Greens mention climate at all
The rest just crank out the usual rubbish that they never solve anyway - economy, equality, blah blah blah.
It's the fact that climate collapse is imminent that people are blocking from their minds.
They use a variety of defences to stop from listening - denial, fear, or drowning out the warnings by fully occupying their thoughts with other things, be it entertainment, activity, or other far less pressing issues that they feel they can realistically help change (For instance: AI dominance, inequality... The reality is, neither of these issues are going to mean a bean if there's no habitable planet for them to be an issue on, so why bother even considering, let alone campaigning, about them)?
4-5 years of inaction, and I reckon we will see large uninhabitable zones spreading quicker than the rate of human-induced desertification ever did (both in sea and on land).
But no one is going anywhere near fast enough to address it. And you can see why not if you pay attention to the flood of ever more attractive advertising gimmicks being thrown at us:
Fossil fuel companies pretending to be caring friends of the environment.
Cars being produced like fast fashion products.
Fast fashion itself.
Make up ads. The amount of make up containers being found in the ocean, inside animals is just criminal. And yet these beauty product companies seek more and more ways to convince women to create even more plastic waste, not less.
And as for travel. I'm inundated daily with unwanted adverts encouraging me to fly or cruise around the world in the top 2 worst forms of transport for pollution, just so I can add myself to the massive hordes of tourists that are causing local degradation of environments, ancient sites, local peace and harmony, and housing opportunities for native peoples.
The international-accepted 'global warming' is 1.2?°C since industrialization. That's 0.025°C per year or +0.005% above freezing. *So your 7% more water vapor claim is only increasing by +0.03% per year.* ¿And that's your best "math and science explains floods" attempt? 😂🎉

They concluded a convo about delay tactics (in the narrow context of fossil fuel use) by saying we need to shift to renewables. A massive shift to renewables would not only ALSO destroy the planet, it isn't physically possible in the small amount of time we have left. The shift to renewables is, itself, a form of delay-ism in the hopes that capitalism can be saved. It's maddening watching the so-called experts and scientists miss the forrest for the trees.
Excellent reporting, Al Jazeera! I salute the scientist Michael E. Mann for his extraordinary work and love for the planet. ( Our only one planet to live!)
One important issue is missing.
The reason people are losing interest in the issue of global warming is because the media announces plans for new wind power plants and large-scale solar power plants.
(They only want subsidies, and from an electrical engineer's point of view, an increase in unstable power sources will not solve anything.)
And people who see the reports tend to take the easy way out and assume that someone will solve global warming, which is disconnected from reality.
Now is the time to reduce electrical energy and CO2 emissions as much as possible and decide what is really effective.
Electrical energy consumption can be reduced by about half if taken seriously.
(I am already practicing)
The die has been cast. According to a NASA web page:
"Arctic permafrost alone holds an estimated 1,700 billion metric tons of carbon, including methane and carbon dioxide. That’s roughly 51 times the amount of carbon the world released as fossil fuel emissions in 2019." The Arctic permafrost is slowly disappearing, and it is bound to accelerate.
Sadly greed and misunderstood dominion is overwhelming our species.
Companies that produce plastic products sometimes use a cheaper non-recyclable plastic and mass produce it. The resin identication code is used to identify which plastics can be recycled. The worse thing is that the resin identification code is similar to the symbol for recycling. So people tend to mistake it for something that can be recycled. Not to mention that recycling polymers is incredibly difficult and costly. Companies are better off making their own plastic rather than using recycled ones simply because it is cheaper. A lot of the products we use, inc clothing, uses some sort of oil in it to produce it. The making of electronics also produces pollution. Making massive windmills and solar panel arrays will produce pollution. They won't produce pollution when generating power, but making them will still produce some sort of pollution. People are also unwilling to sacrifice their lifestyle to help with climate change, which is by far the largest factor. Everything we do, including recycling will make pollution.
Plastic and pollution is not the climate emergency and is not as bad. We are removing the biophysical basis of our existence
Because it has not be been made mandatory to follow some rule to tackle global warming,just like people in many countries uses plastic for commodities purchase
Then you get uprisings and burned down cities if you do what you're suggesting
I'm glad this show is back
We are winning. The question is whether we will win ON TIME. When almost 85% of the fossil fuel energy that drives the global economy has to be abandoned, we are talking of a new civilization. That's the hidden message of ecological economics, that has been quietly pushing the transformation required.
we could dramatically improve every humans quality of life and easily/completely fix the climate at the same time by abolishing all military activity, the thing thats actually responsible for most emissions and most environmental destruction.. its also the thing that corrupt people use to protect themselves from consequences. so it kills like 55 birds with one stone.
@@saturationstation1446 That's partly true --indeed indispensable. But it won't be enough to cut emissions down to safe levels.
Generalities: Humans do not plan they react. Mother nature needs to slap our butts before we react.

the solution to all the many millions of workers in the fossil fuel industries not wanting to lose their jobs and therefore fighting against any change, would be to make it financially worthwhile for people to SHARE the jobs we need people to do and work much less. .It's the only way they could all be quickly offered an alternative job.
This is a recurring problem that building up as a result of so many ages, inventions, and natural resources. There is dependency on these ideas for so many reasons like employment, and massive market needs for those products. so, this is the problem of one era that needs urgent attention and solved flexibly and smoothly without any human negativity surrounding it in the next knowledge worker era. Normal people adapt no matter which era but in knowledge workers eras like these on computers and the internet where information flows smoothly we can solve without much further climate crisis.

Talk about denial. I just listened to a very well done episode on the problems we humans have when it comes to recognizing the global climate change. This episode was almost 30 minutes long. At the end we are asked to be more alert as to how we are being manipulated. Nowhere did anyone connect the rather obvious dots that suggest an important hindrance to tackling this problem is that only global capital benefits from our continued rush to annihilate conditions for life on our planet. Could only benefit in the short term, of course, because should we all die there is no more profit to be made. As soon as we evolve nation states willing to reign in the excesses of capitalism for the common long-term good, then we would have solved this and many other problems. Even the evil doers in this scenario know that this is true - the source of our problem is our ideological commitment to rapacious capitalism. They know this to be true because some suggest that climate activism is part of a plan to attack capitalism. If only that were more true.

I have done as what you said and I can tell there are some channels, even small, but do give info and insight about climate changes, natural world related issues. it is perhaps too much to read IPCC report, just have the mind that things are in solid foundation and so we can easier to access instead of finding different facts to prove. I can say this channel is good and presents the way public can easily understand. No matter we could win to keep below 1.5 C or not, we have to keep fighting. Also have our mind relax, and take actions and tell ourselves we do our parts. I am just afraid the fear is too much for most people, and so we need to mentally prepare to keep us work on. It is no doubt as people take actions, some industries would be changed or even some businesses closed and unemployment. But people can find new jobs and in fact, market has been changed since the beginning. We only need to accept whatever not suitable, it would gone. i do think govt can do something about this.

The fossil fuel industry should be brought to court for the crimes they have been involved in and made to pay for all the destruction and death that they knowingly are responsible for. Will that happen?
The real climate story is this: In 1992 the UNFCCC agreement stipulated safe concentrations. In 1994 it was ratified and came into effect. A year later the IPCC, in its second assessment report (section 1.7), ignored this stipulation and switched the goal to reduced emissions. This permitted GHG concentrations to rise to today's catastrophic levels. Neither Mann nor Oreskes mentioned this critical point because the main task of climate scientists today is to conceal this betrayal of humankind and nature.
I'm ignoring "The Climate Crisis" as I live in the UK and was hoping global warming was true to help reduce my heating bill. Unfortunately it's all BS.
Increase in global average temperature does not mean the same result in every place on the globe. That's the nature of "average". We in this chaotic region of the UK, where so many weather systems battle for influence, will get increased chaos - not nice, simple, increased warmth.

So, the climate crisis is real, lethal, urgent, and WE caused it, and if are serious about following the money, you'll see all the climate denier propaganda--some of which you just repeated--has been funded by big oil.
Take care.

Thanks for the weather report in a climate discussion? The changing climate includes a weakened and wavier jet stream that can cause polar air to meander into areas where it shouldn't be. That wavy jet stream pattern is also prone to get stuck, so that "cold snap" or heat wave will stick around longer. While overall the climate is warming, it's effect on weather is extremeification, get used to it.
Because there is no "man made" climate crises.

This video is filled with information to make you feel bad and anxious, but it doesn't tell you what to be anxious about? No data presented about why you should be scared, just news headlines and journalists telling us to be terrified. Maybe tell folks what the IPCC says about extreme weather? Or how the climate scenario that you envision is likely impossible and very improbable - more so each passing year. Some folks struggle with eco-anxiety, and this video is trying to guilt those who aren't anxious into being anxious.
"This video is filled with information to make you feel bad and anxious, but it doesn't tell you what to be anxious about?" Speaking as a university researcher writing a book about the ongoing unraveling of climate, ecosystems, and societies, read a little more scientific research about what is happening to the climate, ecosystems, biodiversity, groundwater researchers, chemical and plastic pollution, fertility, the capitalist economy, and societies, and you'll be plenty scared. We're heading toward collapse. Full stop.
@@HealingLifeKwikly I've read plenty! I've even read what the IPCC says. How is the climate going to cause a "collapse. Full stop."? Please do provide that scientific research that says so and not your own opinions!
What does "chemical and plastic pollution, fertility, the capitalist economy, and societies" have to do with Climate change? Those are other unrelated problems.
"groundwater researchers" you mean groundwater resources? Did you think we could pump water out of the ground forever?
@@307alexk Thanks for your reply. "How is the climate going to cause a collapse?"
Not-so-fun facts: Humans have already raised global CO2 levels by ~50%, CO2 levels are now the highest they have been in ~14 million years, and the main “kill mechanism” for most major and minor mass extinctions of life on Earth was significant changes in global CO2 levels. So, what are we doing about it? We are currently raising global CO2 levels ~9-10 times faster than they increased before the worst mass extinction event in earth’s history. Every time you burn just one gallon of gas in your car or truck, you add 20 more pounds of CO2 to the atmosphere where most of it will remain for centuries.
"What does "chemical and plastic pollution, fertility, the capitalist economy, and societies" have to do with Climate change? Those are other unrelated problems." Those are NOT related to climate, but I'm trying to introduce the big-picture thing that experts are correctly scared about which is that this industrialized capitalist civilization is itself unsustainable. Modern civilization is a self-terminating system because it destroys all the sustaining conditions that made the rise of civilization possible in the first place, including a stable climate, abundant natural resources, a chemically-unpolluted world, lush ecosystems, staggering biodiversity, and social cohesion.
I'm simply answering your question about what we should be scared about, and the young people who are terrified about the future have an accurate grasp on things and those who assume modern civilization will just continue on like this are the ones in for a rude surprise.
Take care.
@@HealingLifeKwikly I know about C02 and its current levels and levels in previous times. I'm asking you to cite specific scientific evidence that links increased C02 to collapse. I understand the greenhouse effect and how it is raising global average temperatures (I do agree with that and acknowledge that it's happening). But I'm asking you for specific, scientific, proof of your bold claim that we're heading for collapse.
@@307alexk "But I'm asking you for specific, scientific, proof of your bold claim that we're heading for collapse." In their own understated way, scientists have been warning us we are heading toward collapse for decades, but no one wanted to listen. A 69% loss of the average population size for vertebrate animals just since 1970 is what ecological collapse looks like. Plummeting fertility rates for humans and wildlife alike is what collapse looks like. U.S. scientists first started warning the world about the risk of man-made global heating and climate disruption in 1957. LBJ was briefed on it. Congress was briefed on it in the 1980s, etc.
This is a big grading day for me (end of a summer semester) but I'll share more details tonight or tomorrow.
I don't know how anyone can not think about climate change quite often these days, because the evidence that it's happening in real time, right in front of our faces.
I think about it every day, because I can see the change in the climate that has happened just in the last few years.
I don't see evidence that the human race is taking climate change seriously yet. By the time the change in the climate becomes too hard to ignore, and we're finally committed to reducing our carbon footprint, it will be too late.
Sorry to sound pessimistic. That's just the reality of it.
We need to reduce our overall footprint, not just our carbon footprint. The quest for green growth is just another delusional death-trap. Degrow or die, that's the choice we must face if we are to avoid extinction. We'll almost surely NOT face reality and succumb to our fate. RIP humanity, death by consumption and hubris.
It's hard to avoid concluding we humans are stuffed!
Might have something to do with people say we have 2 years to live for 10 years.
no one ever said that. If anything climate scientists have figured our over the past decades that they were infact 2 optimistic in their prognoses and simulations. We are headed for certain desaster but it will take another decade or 2 to get really really doomsdayish.
I live in California we need more green environment to make things better like more trees more for us, especially like valley the valleys that I live in Sacramento or the valley in general need more greener trees 🌳 grass needs to be greener not dry and like not like desert. greener it gets it better gets like the valley more rain.

You are spot on mate it really is over for no less than 6 billion in my asperger climate special interest and over 10 thousand hours of reading climate papers, opinion.
Deep adaptation underground and under ocean for thermal stability, whilst harvesting co2 and global warming to solve global warming is all we have left or die.
I'm afraid you're right. The fossil fuel corporations have murdered humanity.
The paradox is hearing these things in a quatar founded media...
Makes sense. Media directed at Canada and US. Arab media is devoid of this propaganda and their industries wont shut down.
I was thinking about it and then tried to find solutions . But, what's the use?? In 1960s the sustainable human population was said to be 6 billion. Then innovation in fertilizer and food production technology helped fuel the population. Now everything from food production till it reaches us is dependent on Fossil fuel. How can we even untangle ourselves from fossil fuel, without destroying food production and supply? With extreme temperatures, we need more fossil fuels to protect crops. So, i just started ignoring everything .
sustainable policrop agriculture like agroforestry or sintropical agriculture or permaculture can potentially produce more food per m² than monoculture even without any fossil fuels and also help increase biodiversity.
And even if we leave things as they are. Just the widespread usage of terra preta could turn farmland into huge carbon sinks.
Also another very importand factor... 80% of farmland is used to produce meat and dairy products or farmed fish while providing only around 17% of calories and 38% of proteins in our food worldwide.
So if we switched to another diet we could solve quiet a few issues.
And maybe we should stop throwing away allmost 40% of the food that is produced like the US currently does.
There are quite a few solutions out there tbh.
Ew Michael Mann the liar.. why.

Get em! Lol
The climate has been changing since the dawn of time, and nobody has control of it.
The Sun controls climate.. CO2 is plant food.
You can always experiment. trap yourself in a box with all your energy usage and air.
Ai can simulate it for you thankfully.
imagine your life in this box, then imagine the energy usage of our rich people :(
"Each person has about 6.44×1086.44×10 8 kg of the Earth's atmosphere.
A typical car and household emit about 14,282 kg of CO2 per year.
It would take approximately 45 years for the CO2 levels to reach 0.1% (1,000 ppm) and become unhealthy if all emissions were confined to this volume of atmosphere."
yes earth climate has been changing over the course of several thousand years. It has never changed in the timespan of only a couple hundred years. The current global warming is around 10x faster then after the end of the last ice age. And since we did not have a massive increase in volcanic activities or other factors that play a significant role it only leaves us as the culprit.
hmm... well i'll share my psychological POV... i lived off the grid for 20yrs, and nothing changed... point being, why is it always the peasants that suffer so the rich can live in luxury...
overpopulation, planetary wobble, solar flares, melting tundras and cattle methane, edison over tesla, gasoline over alcohol... these are beyond our scope... one thing that is not,,, CARBON CREDITS...
it takes a lot less resources to deal with 100 ppl than 100,000 ppl... plastic was the cure that saved trees and iron/coal usage, but now you jump on me for using a plastic bag at the grocery, which by the way is the ONLY plastic item that is NOT single use... btw, i've been smoking cigarettes for 50yrs and i'm 70 now... demonizing smoking for the pollution from industry... give us clean air and clean water from 50yrs ago... carbon credits is a good place to start
Sorry, this is all complete nonsense. This is not about the psychology of ordinary people. It is very simple. At the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, world leaders promised to address this crisis. 32 years ago, no one was saying they weren't sure about climate change. I know, I was a science student, studying climate science, in 1992. It was absolutely certain.
Absolutely, the only question, is why have our leaders not taken the action they promised to take 32 years ago? We have a hierarchical system, where only one person can take these big decisions. And they have taken big decisions. Started a war on terrorism, invaded Iraq and far more. These leaders, can take pretty big actions if they want. But strangely, whilst agreeing to take major climate action over 30 years ago, they have taken none. This is the only psychology at work here.
People have no idea what action governments are planning, and how they are taking it, because they keep it all secret. I can show you academic studies of public opinion about climate change, which prove that most people were concerned about climate change, and wanted action 35 years ago. Their leaders promised major climate action, and they voted for the politicians that promised it.
Once again, absolutely the only question, is why our leaders never took the action they promised. The treaty that set up the UNFCCC, which set up the COP talks was signed at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Has anyone here actually read the UNFCCC?
Yes, leaders have not led, but blaming it all on leaders when 40-70% of climate impacts are controlled by individuals--and WE can change governments--is to infantilize and disempower ourselves.
@@HealingLifeKwiklysorry, I disagree. We cannot change governments by voting. We the people don't elect our politicians, we are presented 2 bogus choices that both serve capital, including fossil fuel companies, and are told it's "Democracy". We need revolution at a minimum if we have any hope of not going extinct.

Have you read the table: Cross-Chapter Box 12.1, Table 1 |?
"Gobal mean sea level (GMSL) is rising at an accelerated rate since the 19th century (high confidence), almost doubled during past two decades (about 0.1 mm yr-2). GMSL increase over the 20th century faster than over any preceding century in at least the last three millennia (high confidence).
Up to 2050, limited scenario/GWL dependency (likely sea level rise about 0.15-0.30 m). By 2100, likely GMSL rise with respect to 1995-2014 of 0.51 (0.40-0.69) m, 0.62 (0.50-0.81) m and 0.70 (0.58-0.91) m for, respectively, GWLs of 2.0°C, 3.0°C, and 4.0°C (medium confidence). Deep uncertainty in projections for GWLs >3°C because of ice-sheet behaviour. For example, incorporation of low confidence "
@Richard482 Sea level appears to be rising at a small 3mm per year. Atolls in the Pacific nations of the Marshall Islands and Kiribati, as well as the Maldives archipelago in the Indian Ocean, have risen up to 8 percent in size (Ford and Kench, 2020). 89% of the globe’s islands and 100% of large islands have stable or growing coasts (Duvat, 2019). No island larger than 10ha decreased in size.
As regards NOAA tide gauge data, let's look at some examples from around the world. N.B. All sites show a linear Relative Sea Level Trend: Kanmen, China 2.40mm/yr; Sydney, Australia 0.75mm/yr; Ferandina Beach, Florida 2.20mm/yr; Los Angeles, California 1.04mm/yr; Mera, Japan 3.8mm; Cascais, Portugal 1.32mm/yr; Newlyn, UK 1.94mm/yr.
Jevrejeva, et al (2014) estimated 2 mm/year (± 0.3), and Church and White (2006) estimated 1.7mm/year (± 0.3). So that's a total rise of between 126 and 151mm (less than 6 inches) from 2024 to the end of the century.
Or try PSMSL data: Kwajalein (Marshall Islands) 1.95mm/yr; Maldives (Indian Ocean) 3.21mm/yr; Lautoka (Fiji Islands, Pacific Ocean) 3.50mm/yr; Port Elisabeth (South Africa) 2.34mm/yr.
Remember, all linear over many decades, or more than a century.
Anyway, if you prefer satellite data NOAA's trend was +3.0mm/year Global Mean Sea Level (1993-2022), again linear last time I looked for each set of satellite data (but hey, it may have accelerated in the last month).
NASA satellite data (1993-present) for Global Mean Sea Level shows a rise of 3.3mm per year. That's the same as two stacked penny coins.
There is no relationship to the exponential increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. It's going to be decades before even your big toe is submerged.
@@OldScientist "The global mean sea level (GMSL) rise under RCP2.6 is projected to be 0.39 m (0.26-0.53 m, likely range) for the period 2081-2100, and 0.43 m (0.29-0.59 m, likely range) in 2100 with respect to 1986-2005. For RCP8.5, the corresponding GMSL rise is 0.71 m (0.51-0.92 m, likely range) for 2081-2100 and 0.84 m (0.61-1.10 m, likely range) in 2100. Mean sea level rise projections are higher by 0.1 m compared to AR5 under RCP8.5 in 2100, and the likely range extends beyond 1 m in 2100 due to a larger projected ice loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (medium confidence). The uncertainty at the end of the century is mainly determined by the ice sheets, especially in Antarctica. {4.2.3, Figures SPM.1, SPM"
@Richard482 The problem with all these models and projections is that Antarctica is not playing the game.
The whole of East and West Antarctica is cooling, and has been for 40 years. East Antarctica has cooled by an impressive 0.7°C per decade. Resulting in an overall substantial and statistically significant decline of 2.8°C since 1980. So much for "Global" warming. I am referring to a paper by Zhu et al (2021) that looked at the reanalysed ERA5 satellite dataset. Check out table 4. Furthermore, the Antarctic Peninsula ice has since been shown to be on the increase “The eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet has grown in area over the last 20 years, due to changing wind and sea ice patterns.” (University of Cambridge, May, 2022.)
In reality, "there have been statistically significant positive trends in total Antarctic sea ice extent since 1979." (Fogt et al, 2022. Published in Nature) "since 1979 is the only time all four seasons demonstrate significant increases in total Antarctic sea ice in the context of the twentieth century".
A study of Antarctic ice shelves from 1980 to 2021 (Banwell et al, 2023) showed meltwater volume dropped with "decreasing trend in both annual melt days and meltwater production volume over the 41 years.”
"Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km² since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade." (Andreasen et al, 2023). It is from a paper entitled "Change in Antarctic Ice Shelf Area from 2009 to 2019". They use MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data to measure the change in ice shelf calving front position and area on 34 ice shelves in Antarctica from 2009 to 2019. Also, as the mass gain (661Gt) was given, you could calculate the volume of the ice gained using the formula: Volume = Mass ÷ Density (assume Density of glacier ice 0.9167 Gt/km³). This would give you (well not you obviously) an Ice Gain Volume ≈721km³. That's how much extra of the lovely white stuff there is around Antarctica. Imagine standing in the centre of this extra ice. It would stretch beyond the horizon in all directions and would be 45 storeys high.
The Greenland ice sheet is thought to contribute 0.7mm/yr to sea-level rise. That sounds small because it is pitifully small. Antarctica contributes 0.36mm to sea-level rise per year. (That's essentially nothing as well.) The remainder is due to the thermal expansion of the ocean, and is a signal of past warming rather than current.
