Easy We elect Trump. And he restores Dammed up Water to California. This would restore Sea levels too. The real question should be do Democrats want it fixed? It's nothing but scare tactics making them rich.
That quoted question caught my attention too. The answer isn't obvious to someone who thinks that "rich" means "more pieces of green paper." Instead, "rich" means more efficient. It means discovery of new substitutes. It means technological advancement. It means higher costs that make it too expensive to engage in "bad" activity. Ultimately, rich means we know more and have better resources to apply to our problems. "Rich" means more opportunity to use our brains to solve problems.

Plastics and overfishing are not climate related, and, 90% of plastic pollution comes from 10 river systems, 8 in Asia, 1 on South America’s and 1 on Africa. The oceans are not becoming acidic, they have becoming slightly less alkaline, I.e. becoming more neutral. Even if they were becoming more acidic due to CO2 it would be Carbolic acid which is the main building block for shelled animals, so they would thrive. There is no increase in frequency or intensity of weather events. The oceans are rising lineally, not accelerating, at about 2 mm pa. Climate related deaths are down 98% in the last 100 years. The IPCC (AR12 and AR13 (chapter 11) has stated there is not connection between human activity and weather events. Not a single climate alarmist prediction has come true in the last 40 years. It is an artificial crisis motivated by power (politicians), ideology (socialists), money (crony capitalists and rent seekers getting government subsidies and climate scientists) and relevance (climate scientists). I have yet to come across a climate alarmist who would stand still for 5 minutes and debate the subject (that they usually know nothing about). They always walk away of revert to ad hominem attacks (“climate denier”) because they know their arguments will not stand up to scrutiny. Stop coal, stop oil which will take us all back to the 1850s.

Here's the report from the org. he couldn't remember the name of Overall, the record high hard coral cover seen last year was welcome news, representing recovery across much of the Reef in the absence of common coral killers. But what about recent heating? This year, the rapid coral rebound paused. Some reefs continued to recover, but these were offset by others which lost coral. Coral loss came from effects of the 2022 bleaching event in northern and central regions, crown-of-thorns starfish predation in the northern and southern regions, damage from Tropical Cyclone Tiffany in the north and coral disease in some areas of the south. The picture is complex. Recovery here, fresh losses there. While the recovery we reported last year was welcome news, there are challenges ahead. The spectre of global annual coral bleaching will soon become a reality. Right now, marine heatwaves are sweeping through ocean basins in the northern hemisphere. Sea surface temperatures are far above long term averages. At least eight countries are reporting coral bleaching, including the United States and Belize. This summer, it looks likely we’ll see our first El Niño on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016, bringing higher sea surface temperatures. That last El Niño - coupled with global heating - was the direct cause of the 2016-17 mass bleaching and mass death of corals. The prognosis is, in short, extremely concerning. Yes, the Reef has rebounded beyond our expectations. But now the heat is back on. If we get mass bleaching like 2016 - or even worse - it could undo all the recent recovery.

Giving money to anyone makes it worse. Rich people making more money does contribute to fixing it. It really does. When wealth increases as a result of productivity within a free market, not everyone benefits equally...but everyone benefits. And that does tend in general toward better being able to afford and more to prefer, to address externalities. But "giving", the redistribution of wealth from higher producers to lower producers, reduces aggregate productivity and tends to result in the opposite.
When money is given to people who are either ignorant or have a plan that WILL CAUSE famines and droughts it is not going to fix anything. But it will REDUCE our POPULATION. An attack on our SMALL SUPPLY of CO2 is *an ATTACK on our FOOD SUPPLY. 👩🌾 JUST ASK THE FARMERS IN EUROPE (for starters).*

You guys do realize that the pH scale is logarithmic? A decrease from pH 8.2 to 8.1 means that the ocean would be 25% more acidic. Just because a solution is above pH 7.0, does not mean it cannot become more acidic. Another problem is an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. If the atmosphere carries 40% more CO2, it will try to get into balance with the CO2 bound in the surface water layer of the ocean. This causes acidification. But this is not the biggest problem. How much CO2 can be bound in the ocean depends on the temperature and pH level. More water in the atmosphere causes higher temperature. Same with CO2. Now if the temperature is on the rise, oceans heat up. Warmer ocean means it binds less CO2 and releases it into the air above the water and the into the atmosphere. This causes even more warming. Also, lower pH level causes other problems forming sediments that bind CO2. But this is too hard to explain in english language. But yes. Understanding the interesting chemistry behind CO2 (imho the most interesting gas!), one can see why this might become a problem.
Not a climate alarmist, but ocean acidification is certainly real and easily tested. The PH levels lowered due to CO2 absorption, lower = more acidic than before. PH level gets too low, certain animals can't extract and form calcium carbonate shells / skeletons. From 1950-2020 ocean PH went from 8.15 TO 8.05, so while that is alkaline, it is MORE ACIDIC than it used to be. PH scale is logarithmic, so that isn't as small of a difference as it seems. "Between 1950 and 2020, the average pH value of the ocean surface is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.15 to 8.05.[2] This represents an increase of around 26% in hydrogen ion concentration in the world's oceans (the pH scale is logarithmic, so a change of one in pH unit is equivalent to a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration).[49] For example, in the 15-year period 1995-2010 alone, acidity has increased 6 percent in the upper 100 meters of the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii to Alaska.[50] The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report in 2021 stated that "present-day surface pH values are unprecedented for at least 26,000 years and current rates of pH change are unprecedented since at least that time.[51]: 76 The pH value of the ocean interior has declined over the last 20-30 years everywhere in the global ocean.[51]: 76 The report also found that "pH in open ocean surface water has declined by about 0.017 to 0.027 pH units per decade since the late 1980s".[52]: 716 The rate of decline differs by region. This is due to complex interactions between different types of forcing mechanisms:[52]: 716 "In the tropical Pacific, its central and eastern upwelling zones exhibited a faster pH decline of minus 0.022 to minus 0.026 pH unit per decade." This is thought to be "due to increased upwelling of CO2-rich sub-surface waters in addition to anthropogenic CO2 uptake."[52]: 716 Some regions exhibited a slower acidification rate: a pH decline of minus 0.010 to minus 0.013 pH unit per decade has been observed in warm pools in the western tropical Pacific.[52]: 716 The rate at which ocean acidification will occur may be influenced by the rate of surface ocean warming, because warm waters will not absorb as much CO2.[53] Therefore, greater seawater warming could limit CO2 absorption and lead to a smaller change in pH for a given increase in CO2.[53] The difference in changes in temperature between basins is one of the main reasons for the differences in acidification rates in different localities."

If during WW1 and WW2 thousands of ships were sunk full of oil, chemicals and other toxic provisions spilling into the seas over a period of about 40 years, how do explain the incredible fortitude, resilience and regenerative natural qualities of the oceans and the earth for that matter.
Add to that the great number of atomic bombs being tested. Where did they think all those chemicals went. So don’t blame my tiny little “carbon footprint” when the governments are out there nuking the planet.
I personally like Maher, always have, I find it interesting when he said "rich people is good for the climate?" kind of under his breath. In Canada, a lot of people are getting filthy rich from the taxes and climate action policies of the government, yet nothing has changed.
Indeed. And Lomborg's point is not the rich getting richer, but the poor getting less poor, affording better food, clothing, accommodation, etc. In many areas, like India, a lot of deaths are caused by COLD, and burning dung inside to make food without proper ventilation
@@wildtalksireland5670 we don't know, some claim they do by using proxy data, like ice core measurements, but those are inherently smoothed (200-300 year average in the ice core measurement's case), so we don't know. What actual measurements we do have, is that early 1900s, which was before significant human influence according to the IPCC, experienced warming similar to the late 1900s, so by that alone the warming is not unprecedented at least.
I don't think that he is being destroyed, he is simply listening to a person well educated in the field who has a contrarian view and reasoning for it. The fact that Mr. Maher is speaking to him at all is refreshing and he should be applauded. It's not listening to other views that is the issue... Good for Maher.
Well put! And the GREEN goes to the wealthy who buy politicians and then capitalize on the propaganda put out by the globalist media corporations they control.
So what? It seems you don't know much about the issue, otherwise you would have known that you are parroting a meaningless argument. People (including you) not only love oxygen, they actually cannot live without it. But if the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere increases significantly it will be absolutely disastrous. Not only will fires run out of control, but a lot of life will be destroyed. And ask a medical doctor (or a scuba diver) about the hazards of inhaling too much oxygen for a while. It is not about the substance itself (oxygen or CO2), it's about the relative concentrations and fine-tuned balances in nature.

It's a funny thing about human psychology, where it's generally easier to convince someone about something, than it is to change their mind about something.

It means discovery of new substitutes. It means technological advancement. It means higher costs that make it too expensive to engage in "bad" activity. Ultimately, rich means we know more and have better resources to apply to our problems. "Rich" means more opportunity to use our brains to solve problems.

Plastics and overfishing are not climate related, and, 90% of plastic pollution comes from 10 river systems, 8 in Asia, 1 on South America’s and 1 on Africa. The oceans are not becoming acidic, they have becoming slightly less alkaline, I.e. becoming more neutral. Even if they were becoming more acidic due to CO2 it would be Carbolic acid which is the main building block for shelled animals, so they would thrive. There is no increase in frequency or intensity of weather events. The oceans are rising lineally, not accelerating, at about 2 mm pa. Climate related deaths are down 98% in the last 100 years. The IPCC (AR12 and AR13 (chapter 11) has stated there is not connection between human activity and weather events. Not a single climate alarmist prediction has come true in the last 40 years. It is an artificial crisis motivated by power (politicians), ideology (socialists), money (crony capitalists and rent seekers getting government subsidies and climate scientists) and relevance (climate scientists). I have yet to come across a climate alarmist who would stand still for 5 minutes and debate the subject (that they usually know nothing about). They always walk away of revert to ad hominem attacks (“climate denier”) because they know their arguments will not stand up to scrutiny. Stop coal, stop oil which will take us all back to the 1850s.

Overall, the record high hard coral cover seen last year was welcome news, representing recovery across much of the Reef in the absence of common coral killers.
But what about recent heating?
This year, the rapid coral rebound paused. Some reefs continued to recover, but these were offset by others which lost coral. Coral loss came from effects of the 2022 bleaching event in northern and central regions, crown-of-thorns starfish predation in the northern and southern regions, damage from Tropical Cyclone Tiffany in the north and coral disease in some areas of the south.
The picture is complex. Recovery here, fresh losses there.
While the recovery we reported last year was welcome news, there are challenges ahead. The spectre of global annual coral bleaching will soon become a reality.
Right now, marine heatwaves are sweeping through ocean basins in the northern hemisphere. Sea surface temperatures are far above long term averages.
At least eight countries are reporting coral bleaching, including the United States and Belize. This summer, it looks likely we’ll see our first El Niño on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016, bringing higher sea surface temperatures. That last El Niño - coupled with global heating - was the direct cause of the 2016-17 mass bleaching and mass death of corals.
The prognosis is, in short, extremely concerning. Yes, the Reef has rebounded beyond our expectations. But now the heat is back on. If we get mass bleaching like 2016 - or even worse - it could undo all the recent recovery.
Read more: Out of danger because the UN said so? Hardly - the Barrier Reef is still in hot water
“How does rich fix the ocean?”
How does giving MONEY to the rich fix the climate?
Exactly
Giving money to anyone makes it worse. Rich people making more money does contribute to fixing it. It really does. When wealth increases as a result of productivity within a free market, not everyone benefits equally...but everyone benefits. And that does tend in general toward better being able to afford and more to prefer, to address externalities. But "giving", the redistribution of wealth from higher producers to lower producers, reduces aggregate productivity and tends to result in the opposite.
When money is given to people who are either ignorant or have a plan that WILL CAUSE famines and droughts it is not going to fix anything. But it will REDUCE our POPULATION.

The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We’ve been here what? 100,000? Maybe 200,000? And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. 200 years versus four and a half billion. And we have the conceit to think that somehow, we’re a threat? That somehow, we’re going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floatin’ around the sun? The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us: been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drifts, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages... and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference?" - George Carlin

the state of our oceans are directly linked to the climate... look at the plankton they are the basis for a great many of the creatures of the sea....yet studies show they are slowly dying which is problematic as they also help with producing oxygen you know that pesky stuff almost every living thing needs.... it also takes co2 out of the air all of which directly effect the climate...

Ps: First!
It's true .. the 30% increase in greening of the planet in the past 20 years has really helped most of the world's population. In the 1970's scientists were concerned about LOW CO2 levels making it impossible for plants to photosynthesize properly. In million year terms, we were at the lowest CO2 levels ever seen.
Pretty simple answer at the end of this stuttering nonsense
The coral reefs are fine because pollution is a hoax
The only real pollution is places like Houston where they have tons of factories it poisons Houston not outside
The world is too big to pollute the entire thing

Just remarkable.
The Oceans are not even close to "Acidic"
It’s literally impossible for oceans to become acidic
@@MarkNOTW How is it impossible? Did someone skip high school chemistry class a little too often?
You guys do realize that the pH scale is logarithmic? A decrease from pH 8.2 to 8.1 means that the ocean would be 25% more acidic. Just because a solution is above pH 7.0, does not mean it cannot become more acidic. Another problem is an increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. If the atmosphere carries 40% more CO2, it will try to get into balance with the CO2 bound in the surface water layer of the ocean. This causes acidification.
But this is not the biggest problem. How much CO2 can be bound in the ocean depends on the temperature and pH level. More water in the atmosphere causes higher temperature. Same with CO2. Now if the temperature is on the rise, oceans heat up. Warmer ocean means it binds less CO2 and releases it into the air above the water and the into the atmosphere. This causes even more warming.
Also, lower pH level causes other problems forming sediments that bind CO2. But this is too hard to explain in english language.
But yes. Understanding the interesting chemistry behind CO2 (imho the most interesting gas!), one can see why this might become a problem.
Not a climate alarmist, but ocean acidification is certainly real and easily tested. The PH levels lowered due to CO2 absorption, lower = more acidic than before. PH level gets too low, certain animals can't extract and form calcium carbonate shells / skeletons. From 1950-2020 ocean PH went from 8.15 TO 8.05, so while that is alkaline, it is MORE ACIDIC than it used to be. PH scale is logarithmic, so that isn't as small of a difference as it seems.
"Between 1950 and 2020, the average pH value of the ocean surface is estimated to have decreased from approximately 8.15 to 8.05.[2] This represents an increase of around 26% in hydrogen ion concentration in the world's oceans (the pH scale is logarithmic, so a change of one in pH unit is equivalent to a tenfold change in hydrogen ion concentration).[49] For example, in the 15-year period 1995-2010 alone, acidity has increased 6 percent in the upper 100 meters of the Pacific Ocean from Hawaii to Alaska.[50]
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report in 2021 stated that "present-day surface pH values are unprecedented for at least 26,000 years and current rates of pH change are unprecedented since at least that time.[51]: 76 The pH value of the ocean interior has declined over the last 20-30 years everywhere in the global ocean.[51]: 76 The report also found that "pH in open ocean surface water has declined by about 0.017 to 0.027 pH units per decade since the late 1980s".[52]: 716
The rate of decline differs by region. This is due to complex interactions between different types of forcing mechanisms:[52]: 716 "In the tropical Pacific, its central and eastern upwelling zones exhibited a faster pH decline of minus 0.022 to minus 0.026 pH unit per decade." This is thought to be "due to increased upwelling of CO2-rich sub-surface waters in addition to anthropogenic CO2 uptake."[52]: 716 Some regions exhibited a slower acidification rate: a pH decline of minus 0.010 to minus 0.013 pH unit per decade has been observed in warm pools in the western tropical Pacific.[52]: 716
The rate at which ocean acidification will occur may be influenced by the rate of surface ocean warming, because warm waters will not absorb as much CO2.[53] Therefore, greater seawater warming could limit CO2 absorption and lead to a smaller change in pH for a given increase in CO2.[53] The difference in changes in temperature between basins is one of the main reasons for the differences in acidification rates in different localities."

The opposition to fixing ocean pollution and overfishing is unfortunately the key problem.
Most governments don't want to know about ocean pollution becasue they don't want to rebuild their costly wastewater infrastructure. Or they pass the buck to some other nation.
