Scientist here, still waiting for my Illuminati pay check for, well, everything conspiracy theorists think we keep under wraps
@@DNANDROID I don't know, you'd have to ask the conspiracy theorists 😄
@@niels9203
Nice scientific answer mr scientist.
I would have thought you'd have come up with something more along the lines of fellow rocket climate scientist al gore's usual response,.... "are you a denier".
You know him right?
He's the guy who flew around the country in the early 2000's in his CO2 spewing jet telling us that if we didn't do something to "stop climate change" by 2007,... that by 2014 there'd be no ice in the Arctic. That sea levels would rise several feet,.. actually 20 ft.
Here we are 8 years past al gore's falling off the cliff point and there's as much ice in the Arctic as there's ever been. And sea levels have risen less than about an inch. Well within century rates.

I had long denied climate change. My primary issue was that the climate change scientists kept referencing 1996, a year affected by El Nino. Then, the climate deniers started using that year to show there was no temp increase since 1996. And, well, then I started looking into it more and became convinced of climate change.
Congrats on doing the difficult thing and altering your opinion to fit facts. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there's no shortage of facts supporting human-caused global warming being a significant problem.
Specifically 1998 had the El Niño event but so did 2016 and it was much hotter than 1998.
It’s why I like to look at rolling averages. Like 5, 10, or 11 year rolling averages, the rate warming slowed in the 2000s but sped up in the 2010s. But global warming will accelerate through 2100.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI I find it extremely disturbing that all our "normal" temperatures reported by US meteorologists, recently updated again, to drop previous (lower temperature) decades from our averages, to keep the figures indicating what is a "normal" temperature, closer to the modern higher temperatures we should expect.
www.noaa.gov/news/new-us-climate-normals-are-here-what-do-they-tell-us-about-climate-change
So, we now get told an 80°F/26.6°C day in December is "normal", when just 60 years ago it was unheard of.
If one kept pouring more & more effluent into one's living room, neck-deep could become "normal" pretty quick if one bases those norms on current conditions rather than historic ones...
@@prophetzarquon1922 I don’t get what your saying here. Yes NOAA updated their averages, they always do. They aren’t trying to hide global warming, it’s just easier for meteorologist when giving the almanac. If you want to see the time series, the data is all there.
Btw the 1991-2020 average is 0.45°F warmer than 1981-2010 across the united states although that varies region by region. Sure that is significant but it’s not like a 30°F difference or something. And worse case global warming will see probably a 10°F rise in US temperatures by 2100 over 20th century norms. That is dangerous but again the weather report is different from a climate report.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI I have no problem with NOAA updating 30-year averages, or with _calling them that._ What's problematic, is meteorologists on TV calling those averages we can expect nowadays, "normal".
They're not normal, they're worsening due to our actions & will continue to get worse faster since we continue to increase our rate of pollution each year.
When some places are seeing winters consistently 10 degrees warmer than a handful of decades ago, calling that "normal" is a disservice to the concept of averages. The whole point of taking an average over time, is to improve accuracy with multiple samples. Discarding older samples _is fine for prediction of what we should expect this year,_ but terming new higher temperatures "normal" is where the old proverb about sitting in slowly boiling water, starts to become literal instead of allegorical.

"Is this comedy ?"
I can assure you that yours are the funniest videos after popular memes I have seen in a long time. 👍
Sent it to my dad. He's a retired science teacher who gets really angry about bad science in news stories and then denies climate change. WTF?
Science isn't black and white. Climate change is a theory. Anything that cannot be proven without a shadow of doubt is a theory. Gravity was a theory. Evolution is a theory. The Big Bang is a theory. Special relativity is a theory. Plate tectonics is a theory. There is no way to create a control group planet with no pollution and then compare it to Earth to see if it warms differently. But the really crazy thing is that pollution is horrible for our health regardless of global warming. Cancer and all sorts of other health problems would drop dramatically if we weren't ingesting carcinogens from industrial processes. Based only on that we should be trying to reduce pollution.
@@texaswunderkind You just proved that you have no idea what a theory is. A theory (in the scientific method, not "normal" language) is basically the conclusion of experiments and observations. Gravity is indeed a theory, but not a soul denies that gravity exists. Galileo Galilei famously dropped a feather and (something else i dont remember) from the tower of Pisa to see if weight influenced the speed of an object towards the ground. Feathers, however, have wind resistance, so he got a light object with the same wind resistance as the heavy object. And he saw that they fell at the same speed.
The scientific theory is that all objects fall to the ground at the same speed regardless of weight.
When you say "theory", you're talking about a hypothesis. A hypothesis, for example, is that heavier objects fall to the ground faster. Then we do the experiment; dropping the two objects, and the result proves the hypothesis wrong.
While science isn't black and white, there's a consensus that the greenhouse effect exists and that human GHG emissions are behind climate change. Also, you have no idea how experimentation works. You don't interview all 360 million people in the US to ask them what they think about marriage equality; you take a group with a few thousand people and put 'em on a graph. That's an experiment.
Because people are imperfect, and he has let his feelings and biases override facts.
Also, going purely by age and his stance, he probably listens to far too much far-right media like fox news, which actively lies about things like global warming.
The fact that your response to your Dad is "WTF" rather than to understand his point of view is more telling. I bet he doesn't deny the climate changes, he's probably annoyed by alarmists and opportunists.
@@TheCybercoco our conversations were more neuanced 🙄
The sort of people this video is for aren't the sort of people who's minds can be changed by facts.
they like to think so. If only it were true
Facts?
What's next? How long? How much?
facts?
You probably have seen it but I think John Cook's book "Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change" is fantastic. He also has done a lot of research on how to change someone's mind. Very interesting stuff.
I thought that after clows like Al Gore people will stop believing in this BS but I was wrong
I just emailed this to my grandfather and asked him to watch with subtitles (if he can figure it out) , but I think the book would probably convince him better lol
@@heldermonteiro2718 Not an argument.
well Im uncle now, I was always cranky, guess its time to move on the other side of bariccade :-D
@@heldermonteiro2718 I'm sorry, you got any facts rattling around in that cavernous skull of yours?
I have tons of friends and family that are either asleep on climate change or deny it's happening altogether. Your channel is a Godsend. Thank you good sir.
Have you managed to convince anyone? People tend to see what they expect to see
@@GeorginaWilcox I have some friends that seem to be more receptive of it now, and some siblings that prefer to pretend like nothing bad is happening in the world because they feel like they can't make any difference anyway (which I sympathize with to an extent). But I also still have older family that refuses to acknowledge or scoffs at the idea of it's existence at all. I think there's a stereotype of an "environmentalist" that they can't seem to lose and they have absolutely no guilt producing a completely unnecessary amount of waste for their household. To them, environmentalism has become associated with the liberal/leftist agenda so they feel compelled to reject it altogether. I think that environmentalism has become another topic that's politically polarizing and it really shouldn't be and that's what bothers me the most.
So who caused the last couple of ice ages if people weren't here?
@@mrrod3004 the planet and its numerous motions. It's doing its thing right now btw but we're accelerating certain things way too fast
science is not a consensus
As a scientist, I can confirm that we pour stuff from bigger beakers into smaller beakers, especially when the camera is pointed at us.
Just the fact that videos like this still need to be made is almost more depressing than climate change itself.

Like the people who deny vaccines work when there is definite proof vaccines like S:pay:vac and G:ona:con are nearly 100% effective

UV is strongly absorbed by ice and melts.
The sun and volcanoes drives the climate.
Year 536A.D to name a few.
Fossil fuels?
Abiotic oil via pressure water and carbon rick substrates.
Nature worship is satanism.
Global warming is real, but the alarmism is unfounded. The alarmist like to portray everyone that doesn't think it is a crisis as a climate denier but the number of people that actually deny climate change is extremely low. The debate is between 12years (now probably 6) till the death of the planet, vs in 200 years 5% of Florida will be under water and people will have plenty of time to move out of the way. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
I personally doubt that me giving more power and money to the government will somehow magically fix global warming issue.
I also feel that global warming maybe a price worth paying in exchange for cleaner air and energy. Though I do support doubling the US's nuclear power plants as a way to reduce carbon while still maintaining our lifestyle.

@@jakobbauz you would have to put on a tinfoil hat to understand, it's a government conspiracy of control.. new world order, take your pick.
Just like flat earth ers each one has their different suspicion, big science in return receive grants to continue their science.
@@jamesgrover2005 It's weird to me that that's even possible. I guess it is if a society is very deeply segregated.
Just like there are idiots in these comments that believe the video proves climate change is induced by humans without a shred of scientific fact in it. Just fallacious arguments you typically find on social media (and mainstream media to boot). Rather than think, people prefer to be part of the popular group. That's the reality. It's hard to take anyone who refers to 'science' as if it were a person seriously.
@@jakobbauz Grants are the lifeblood of scientific teams, and grants are typically awarded based on projects. A lot of the time it's the project that's popular at the time or what the benefactors stand to gain the most. So scientific teams will basically focus on the projects that will grant them the most money (which is reflected in how popular climate science is in the community these days). The works of scientists tend to be more political these days than ever because a big chunk of those grants come from politicians. Some might come from other special interests. Which is why all studies need to be taken with healthy skepticism and awareness that there's usually going to be an opposing view. And opposing views that aren't popular tend to be suppressed in the scientific community (which is ironic because the biggest breakthroughs usually come from the least popular opinions). But the very nature of using science is to challenge the status quo, or it should be. Doesn't happen so much these days because of the economic situation of the scientific community that tends to lean more towards a compromised state.

@@mrrod3004no, stop. That is not a clever argument
@mrrod3004 " In general, it is felt that ice ages are caused by a chain reaction of positive feedbacks triggered by periodic changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun. These feedbacks, involving the spread of ice and the release of greenhouse gases, work in reverse to warm the Earth up again when the orbital cycle shifts back.", cited from gml. nooa. gov (I can't put the actual link to the website cuz of youtube, so just remove the spaces.

Love your work man. You give me hope and are genuinely funny, and I can't ask for much more out of a UA-cam channel in 2021. With love from Oklahoma!
Last week there was a possum in our backyard. It was bizarrely adorable. I know that they are the only marsupial in North America. But, what I also learned last week was that less than 100 years ago, possums were confined to the states south of the mason-dixon line. But, as the climate has become more favorable for them, they have moved north.
Likewise, we are seeing malaria carrying mosquitoes becoming adapt at living at higher elevations than they had at the past. Due to climate change, the range of malaria carrying mosquitoes will increase, causing millions more per year to become sick.
With climate change comes diseases
I saw a possum a few years ago in Brooklyn , I grew up here and never saw more than squirrels bats etc... about 15 years ago racoon started showing up and now possums. a noticeable change is taking place
The same can be said for armadillos. Sadly the only way I know this is from seeing them as roadkill farther and farther north over 10/15 years...
Hmm? Bigger area for possums to survive means there is probably more of them. I bet if it gets warmer we might be able to move back to Greenland and live there like they did before the world got so cold. Huh? Wait that doesn’t make sense! All that permafrost in Canada would probably grow 300 bushel corn it’s so rich in nutrients if it would only thaw out. More food. More humans. Longer lifespans. Why would anybody want warmer climate.
With humans come warmer cities and protected shelters for opossums. It's not climate change. Learn about the heat island effect. Learn how a country can change weather patterns planting a bunch in of trees. It's all connected affecting weather.
I live in Borneo...this year, we didn't even have drought seasons. All year long rains...which is bizarre as we usually have specific months for the monsoons...
Yes, the weather is variable.
@@davidwebb2318 I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that, like myself, you live in a temperate environment. Temperate environments can and do have variable weather depending on where we are talking about. The area I live in is know for wild temperature fluctuations even over the course of 24 hours. However, some environments are not temperate and are much more predictable.
The weather he reports for Borneo is highly unusual. Especially for the whole dry season.
@@matizluv1316 Don't be silly. Areas outside of temperate zones also have variable weather.
Your idea that only temperate areas have variable weather is the most pathetic excuse for climate change campaigning I think I have ever encountered (and I have seen some pretty lame crap used to justify climate apocalypse stories).
@Sam Adams Yes, this kind of silly narrative is all about creating fear. More fear guarantees support for what has become a massive industry. Without fear of climate change all these flunkies would lose their jobs so it is obvious they have a vested interest in promoting as much fear as possible. The truth is a lot more boring though. A couple of degrees of change over a couple of hundred years (8 generations) won't cause many problems and we have decades to adapt.
When you over hype an industry and rely on fear to sustain it people will see through this eventually and the backlash will be severe. It will also lead to general mistrust of all scientific work. These people don't care about that though, they just want to secure their careers in the climate change industry.

somebody hold my lettuce...In 1982, Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN’s Environment Program, pointed to the possibility of widespread devastation in less than 20 years. He cited “an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.” In February 1993, Thomas Lovejoy, assistant secretary for Environmental and External Affairs at the Smithsonian Institution, stressed the world had one remaining decade of opportunity to avoid calamity. “I am utterly convinced that most of the great environmental struggles will be either won or lost in the 1990s and by the next century it will be too late.” n 2006, former vice-president Al Gore projected that unless drastic measures were implemented, the planet would hit an irreversible “point of no return” by 2016. Game over. GMAFB!

Do you believe that China will have a battery swap program? listen up, Grasshopper, your generation is the most misguided, destructive, and unappreciative generation this country has ever seen. You have been dupped; no fault of yours. Do you believe men can become women by Simply believing that he is a women? You believe capitalism and oil are evil as you sit at your petroleum-based keyboard and talk on your petroleum-based cellphone and lean back in your petroleum-based office chair, and get in your fossil-fueled automobile. Take heed, Grasshopper, we need for your generation to step up, come to your senses, and join our fight to save our country.
Wow! The quality of your videos! 0:08 The way the voice "A hoax to keep my truck away" literally drowns as your laptop sinks in the lake! All the talent that you can use to make cash cow videos but decide to educate people on climate change. Respect!
@Sam Adams yeah dude you've done it. you've cracked the global conspiracy! we were all taking bets to see how long until Sam Adams would figure out this scam. congrats buddy
On the thumbnail the laptop looks like a rotating floating metallic cube held in the air by him using the force
Awesome video, thanks.
Though, the increasing insurance cost argument needs to be adjusted for people living closer to the coast and having more expensive properties.
Big shout out from UK 🇬🇧. My 11 year old daughter wants to know, why, during the scene of showing insurance company stats on screen, you a) Had a Dell monitor b) the screenshot had an Apple icon (top left)
Great question. I have an apple computer connected to the dell is just the monitor. The computer in the screenshot is actually an old, dead computer. That’s some genius-level observation from your 11-year-old daughter. Can you ask her to become an engineer so she can solve climate change?
@@ClimateTown Hahaha. She read your comment just now, watched your videos and starting to get educated on climate change. Honestly, your videos are first that resonated on a level that was edutaining, thank you.
@@AzzamSheikh Great to hear. I live to edutain.
love your videos! I came here from the OCC video!
Thanks! OCC is the man.
You have a good way of putting things . I live in a country city that has had reduced rainfall ocean erosion and a warmer climate .
Science Vs Science wrestling was funny. But the peer review out of nowhere sent me.
I'm hoping that was a broken laptop... Rice wouldn't help here, would it?
i am also worried about the laptop
This is a comment that will make UA-cam algorithm recommend this video
2:43 that's the bravest thing I've seen all day.
An environmental science student (2ed year) omg I love this channel pls pls pls keep making amazing content like this never change
Very good video
Slogans & Easy talking points:
There are no druids to protect the nature! You need to do it!
The reefs are dying.
It was also said that we can't get to the moon.
Why do you ask coal money, about replacing coal?
Renewable Energy would make us self sufficient.
Climate change is leading to an global ecosystem collapse.
Don't procrastinate climate action, like you procrastinate work!
Climate action is race against climate change. And we are far behind.
The alternative is a uninhabitable world.
The arctic's burning.
The later we start the harder it gets.
The planet is not dying, it's being killed. And those killing it have names and addresses.
I'd like to add that the planet isn't dying. The planet will be fine. The fresh water, arable land, and abundant fauna that we depend on might be dying, though, and that means we won't be far behind.
Probably best to remind people that PEOPLE are at stake, rather than nebulous "the environment" or "bald eagles" or other abstract threats.
he got as far as "hey there" before I realized this is damn near 5 minutes..!! GET HIM!!!!!!
Like led poising in the 1960s or the ozone hole in the 1980s, people will try to deny the science until it’s no longer convenient for them, until it’s to late.
Love ur videos bro!! U just made my morning ✌️
Brilliant! Looking forward to seeing more!
The bit comparing science to WWE couldn’t have been more accurate lmao
2 minute of my life i can never get back. thank you
Climate Town: shows all the possible easily accessible evidence for everyone to see -
Somebody somewhere regardless of this: NU-UH☝️
Just to share a bit of my constant existential dread, remember this: the river valleys we currently use for food production around the world are nothing more than large extentions of flat land with a direct path to the ocean. And given a rise in the sea levels is one of the expected consequences of climate change...
Only coastal farms would be affected with the rise in sea level. I live by Austin TX and am already over 700' elevation. It only goes higher as you go north. That's why the Missouri, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers all flow south.
We can just change the expiration date on 20% of the total produced food in US and we are good for another 300 years, that’s if we stop production of food today…
You won’t believe how much food it thrown into the oceans and landfill because it not economically viable to sell it or just because the company changed its logo/packaging…
First of all, irrigation. Second of all, that land may be flat, but probably not level. Rivers flow down. Sea level rise is not about to flood large rivers - it'll just make them shorter.
If only there was a technology, or combination of technologies, that could allow us to take the salt out of a large volume of water and, I don't know, pipe it to places where fresh water is needed? Maybe Lake Mead? Maybe the Aral Sea? Maybe lots of places with low water reserves but lots of bright, shiny sunlight? It's too bad that I can't think of anywhere like that...
Great video! Glad to see you back!
Someday I'll make these faster, I'm just in ding dang school right now :(
@@ClimateTown Ding Dang school will get ya. And the quality to ratio of videos you're putting out is spot on! Really great videos take awhile to make and it's easy to see there's a lot of effort that goes into these videos.
Better than a TED talk, and a lot of funny thrown in.
Thanks for getting that laptop Rollie! Keep making great videos!
The people I'm trying to convince can't even speak English but yet they've figured everything out in life because their horizon doesn't extend beyond their national borders
What is The correct Temp for earth?
My dad's sources on anything political: Memes and some guy on facebook.
Great video, I also liked the geese!
Here are some common logical fallacies:
1. Ad Hominem: Attacking the person making the argument rather than addressing the argument itself.
2. Straw Man: Misrepresenting someone's argument to make it easier to attack.
3. False Dichotomy: Presenting only two options when there are actually more possibilities.
4. Appeal to Authority: Relying on the opinion of an authority figure rather than providing evidence or logical reasoning.
5. Circular Reasoning: Using the conclusion of an argument as one of its premises.
6. Slippery Slope: Claiming that a certain action will lead to a series of increasingly negative consequences without sufficient evidence.
7. Hasty Generalization: Drawing a broad conclusion based on insufficient or biased evidence.
8. Appeal to Emotion: Manipulating emotions to sway someone's opinion rather than presenting solid evidence.
9. False Cause: Assuming that just because two events happen in succession, the first event caused the second event.
10. Appeal to Ignorance: Asserting that something must be true simply because it has not been proven false, or vice versa.
Remember, being aware of logical fallacies can help in critical thinking and evaluating arguments.
There's always hope. As a conservative, all the other young conservatives I know are environmentalists. We do a little clean energy, it's called we do a little clean energy
Well that's good, but unfortunately elected conservative politicians will never care. The Republicans have been the party of environmental destruction and deregulation since Reagan, more so than the democrats.
I'm very glad there are many environmentalists among young republicans. If we can get ecological concern away from political party divisions then I have a lot more hope that we will ever get something done about it.
@@ben1147 The problem as I see it is there's a whole lot of talk and not a lot of legislation. I mean the guys who end up pushing this stuff through will become unelectable unless the majority of people become willing to accept the consequences of drastic action. At least republicans tend to sit on their hands and do nothing when it comes to these things
Conserve = not changing. We need to change what we are doing now politically in order to respond to the climate crisis. I dont think it matters if young conservatives give green initiatives lip service while still fighting to keep everything else the same or rolling back the clock on certain issues. I find your optimism delusional. We have a system of politicians who are in the pockets of these corporations who are mainly responsible for climate change. They will never create change the change we need to see in our financial culture (the one that destroys the environment in the name of blind greed) because they are being paid to make legislation in the interest of the big corporations. Looking for soft gradual painless change or no change just leads to our deaths as a species. Whatever though. I’m glad young republicans learned to recycle.
@@larrylyn210 what you're describing perfectly is the democrat party. All talk, getting the votes, then doing nothing. Have you looked into actual breakdowns of funding sources across the aisle? Democrats aren't what you think they are
I thought you were Joel Haver for a second.
I'm actually really fascinated by climate change as it relates to the deeply interconnected and complex relationships between human and natural systems. Keep making these great videos 👍
I know way too many people who need this video, but will refuse to watch it or entertain a single notion that climate change is even a thing that can happen.
Tell them to watch Hbomberguy.
Rollie you're doing awesome work. These videos are packed with tons of digestible info presented in a funny manner. It breathes optimism into a dire scenario. Keep it up! I cant give you any monies on patreon but if you're ever in the 253 I'll help you get your laptop out of any lake!
Literally.
But actually.
@@ilyakamens certainly
It's great comedy and so informative love the channel!
ted cruz and "dracula". Oh man, whew that had me laughing.
yeah, that was gold
What is item 3 on your to-do list?!! I couldn't make it out and I am dying of curiosity...
Great video, commenting for the algorithms to send this video to more viewers.
Anime Butterfly Meme: "Is this comedy?"
Answer: Yes, yes it is.
Seriously this is an amazing job you're doing and I hope you don't get shut down by Big Oil. Subscribed.
I refuse to believe in climate change cuz I don't want those people I dislike to win. Otherwise, nice video! 👍
more people need to watch this!
Recently learned that Canada's biggest province is powered almost 90% by renewable energy (nuclear and hydro) yet here I am in the province where 84% of our energy production is coal and fossil fuels. Woo 😒
To be completely fair, hydro power is not feasible everywhere and carries its own rather large ecological consequences (which for already-existing dams is just "well, damage is already done, might as well keep using it now that it's built").
But yes, vast improvements need to be made. I live in a state that gets a depressing amount of its electricity from coal. Wish we'd switch to nuclear, which kills far far far fewer people per power generated and actually releases less radioactivity into the atmosphere than coal.
Thank you 👍
All the scientists, oil companies, insurance companies, economists: Climate change is real
My God-loving Uncle Greg driving around his F150: Nah.
My working hypothesis as to why it IS always, somehow, uncles: the most likely audience of this video is the Gen-Z/millenial children of the branches of the family that were on the fleeing end of the steady urbanization of the past half century, and therefore the heartland branches of the family are, more often than not, siblings of parents rather than parents. Therefore, yes, my uncle.
Totally worth it dude lol
Awesome video!!
Thanks! The laptop was broken as hell, so it seemed like a fair trade.
Great admirer…love the humor…suggest including Military perspective on Climate Change - they began writing analyses of climate change threats to our security in the 2000’s. Suggest swapping Military studies with scientific research, just to distance yourself from any taint of the greedy people who go into Science to get rich.
Incidentally, I am a geologist (NASA), but not a “Scientist” according to Sheldon Cooper.
If the military studies are valid, then they are also scientific studies. "the greedy people who go into Science to get rich" is a hilarious phrase; last I heard, struggling for grant money was neither easy nor lucrative. Also if anything, the ones getting paid off are the ones who were paid to _deny_ global warming.
And I recommend not getting your definition of 'scientist' from lowest-common-denominator sitcom characters. Geology is an awesome science. I live amongst the Belt Supergroup, and a little while ago with my roommate found rocks containing fossilized ripples at around 7,500 feet elevation near a fire watchtower near here.
@@IstasPumaNevada I fell in love with geology back in college so long ago that “continental drift” was still considered controversial by American geologists (1960s). My comments were laced with irony and I must have humor to keep me from going crazy in an insane world.
How exciting to find those fossilized ripples! Glad to know you are tuned into the natural world. I fervently hope we don’t screw it up .
the sound of instant regret after he got in the water made me laugh way too hard
oil companies with bottomless pockets + exponential population growth ... i really don't understand how is there any hope left, at this point we're literally wishing upon a star and just hoping for the best
LightsCamera Tamara I think enough people on board can make change happen faster. I anticipate us overshooting, but we can pull carbon out of the air to get back down if we’re working hard.
It's not easy, but the surefire way to defeat is to give up. So I refuse to take that mindset.
@@ClimateTownyeah that's the thing.. the big ass IF
You have a true talent for words and humor. I also studied climate science and I am so excited to have found your channel and your amazing videos so I can better explain these facts to climate change deniers.
Giv it a shot. There's no such thing as a climate denier. Anyone using such a term, is an idiot. Climate is what it is around you, Good, Bad, wet, dry, cold or hot...it's the climate and no one can deny it. Studied climate science, where and how.....by eading the propoganda. Yes climate changes. It has to. wind rain snow and ice change the lanscape constantly. As that change takes place it also changes the climate.
Climate denier? Did you study climate science just to label people and to set them straight about climate change? Ok, I have a few questions... what is the correct temp of the earth? what is the goal? How long will it take to get there? How much will it cost? You know, the basic stuff
Awesome sense of humor!!
Earths climate has been changing for hundreds ,thousands , millions of years , adjust and adapt , just as many civilizations have done in the past .
These civilizations you are talking about did not have 8 billion people and their major cities build right at the shoreline of the ocean. Of course we can try to adapt, but at the end of the day it means riding horses and eat the food we grow in our backyard because 80% of our harbours will be below sea level.
There have been 5 global extinction events in the earths history which wiped out life almost entirely and then it took millions of years for the single celled life that survived to evolve to live on land surfaces again. There’s no reason to believe that humans will survive this 6th global extinction event. So you’re right, life will evolve again. It just wont be us.
