      @@liamtaylor4955 blizzard of '78 has yet to be beat. That's the real problem: weather events in living memory may dwarf current ones locally. Climate is about trends, not weather. It's hard to convince people who have a memory of something worse that climate change is real. Xenia tornadoes in the 60s, the blizzard I mentioned earlier, to Hurricane Katrina. The recent hurricanes to hit Louisiana didn't breach the levies, so there's a false sense of security for the residents there.

      We will begin to take real notice when the people of the developing countries who are displaced by the impacts (agricultural, political, social) of climate change decide that their only alternative is to start walking north.

      i can tell you about the documentary showing climate refugees in Bangladesh, since, i am from that part of the world and problem with Bangladesh is overpopulation and not enough land...cyclones AKA hurricanes are a seasonal phenomenon there and are essential for the monsoon to happen...cyclones have been periodically happening since forever...so flooding and high rainfall is a common occurrence. what is happening is these people are migrating to the mangrove forests in Bangladesh delta and cutting and clearing the trees. the mangrove forests AKA the "Sundarbans", are the largest mangrove forest on earth and the entire region of Bangladesh has subtropical climate having 90% above humidity, winter season lasts 1 month max....the region is the Indo-Gangetic delta also the largest delta on earth....the mangrove forests are the lifeblood of the region, now people are migrating there and cutting down the forest for agricultural land, fisheries etc....Now there is nothing to stop the full force of the seasonal hurricanes and it reaches inland....this is more to do with overpopulation and deforestation than carbon emissions of someone sitting in the US.....

      It's not relevant as the cooling periods took place over hundreds of thousands of years so life had time to adapt - it's actually the rate of change of temperature which is more worrying. In the cretaceous period, global temperatures peaked at 15 degrees higher than today and there were temperate forests that stretched right to the poles. however, this increase took place over millions of years.

    When I was young, I would experience snow almost every year. Our garden would be a white winter wonderland on Christmas Eve. I would play in the snow with my father for hours. This was 30 years ago.
    Now it has been 5 years since we’ve last seen snow in the winter. The snow has been replaced by rain. Every year I keep hoping for that white wonder to return so that my children will get to experience that pleasure. This is just a mild change in comparison to the disastrous other consequences of climate change, but it still has a noticeable impact on people’s well-being.

The 6th IPCC Report, prepared by hundreds of the world's top scientists, reviewed by thousands of other top scientists, and approved by all the nations of the world says the evidence is unequivocal that humans caused all recent global warming.

    Just FYI, this video is a couple years old. The climate scientists that I listen to say the models are much too conservative. They say this because they have the most recent data, not because they are psychic, or like to hear themselves talk.
    Anyway, it’s looking quite possible that we will have 3°C a few years before 2050.
    “Marine cloud brightening” is one mitigation method that could decrease the amount of heat being absorbed by the earths oceans. It’s proven technology, and it could make a big difference. Massive installation of solar and wind power Worldwide is another way to lessen the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.
    Another important issue is we need to elect leaders who understand climate science, and not elect those who are science illiterate.
    Donald Trump has promised the fossil fuel industry His administration will eliminate environmental safeguards and outlaw wind turbines on day one, if he’s elected.

There are scientific predictions the world is about to reach a population peak of 10 billion about 2070. 3 billion more than there is now. Almost 50% more. After that it will decline.

      I am not saying humans have not caused some eviromental problems. Our population went from 1 billion in 1800 to almost 8 billion now. Of course that will change alot of things. But we as humans are incapable of controlling our population and people who invent things from looking ahead to see what the long term affects will be. If they even care, it's all about money and greed. We all only think about today right now! The human race is only capable of seeing a few years ahead if that. Plus we keep sending food and building in places where that human population should not be or the population should not be that high.
      A guy told me once we are the most intelligent being on this planet. I said he was wrong. WE ARE THE MOST CLEVER. We are not that intelligent. We can't even manage our population, food and water resouces properly. We just figure ways around (Mother Nature) a problem that concerns us right now, not thinking pros and cons for the distant future. Thats because we haven't evolved enough out of prehistoic past. If you read about human behavior we are still using our basic animal instincts to survive on a dailhy basis that we have been using for the last 1 billion years or so. We haven't changed that much since then. We just have learned to make and use tools without a proper teacher.!!
      As the world's heat rate rises a little faster then it would natually be. The planet will still be on course to heat up past our living capacity in a few hundred thousand years.

Now if one says 5-6 Fahrenheit, which is a change from 82 to 87-88, thats more relatable and be seen as a substantial change. Might not help, but it doesn’t hurt to do that on future videos and it takes minimal effort.

For example, the melting of circumpolar permafrost (releasing methane) , conversion of the Amazon Basin to a dry savannah ecosystem, the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves and ocean acidification is by no means an exhaustive list. And yet, despite this, governments still seem to be trapped in a dithering, lethargic state of procrastination.

      It is an irrefutable fact that as CO2 levels increase then plant growth does also.
      CO2 at 1000ppm [ three times present levels] is possibly optimum for forests, agriculture, and deserts..
      Commercial green houses use this fact for high yield and profitability
      If we could increase levels of CO2 to optimum levels of about 1000ppm the forests would flourish; the deserts would become productive; and the imminent destruction of agriculture now sought would make New Zealand even a greater major exporter of food ;
      plentiful for the world,.
      And of course human societies go well during the warm periods.
      Older people flock to warmer areas at retirement.
      The climate threat is a globalist scam to redistribute wealth upwards yet again.
      CO2 levels rise after warm earth periods not before as we are conditioned to think by the fraudulent climate control freaks.
      In any event human civilizations have always been more successful in warmer periods.

    New Zealand here...we have been getting wetter and warmer winters, the lack of snow pack has been more evident year on year, our glaciers are retreating faster and faster. Frosts used to be commonplace, even into spring and even a decade ago, now I can just about count on my hands the number of frosts we have each winter. Our summers are hotter and drier, spring is borderline non-existent. This year, I've been having to mow my lawn weekly since the beginning of September, when the ground should not be warm enough to sustain such growth well into October. We get more extreme weather events and cyclones travel further south from the tropics, in part due to weaker jetstreams as a result of warming, and they stay wetter and stronger due to warmer oceans surrounding us. The Tasman sea has been breaking record warm levels year on year in recent times. The fact that I've been able to witness these changes in my lifetime, and they only seem to be accelerating in the last 5-10 years to the point that it is as noticeable as it is, is absolutely terrifying. And the number of people who STILL think it's a hoax, even here in NZ, who voted in a Govt in our latest election who intend on doing nothing more than paying mere lipservice to climate and environmental issues just disgusts me.

      I'd say you do have to be a scientist or at least relatively up-to-date w/ science on the area.

Not to mention cycles like el niño and la niña, which may influence wrong gut-feeling conclusions in somewhat shorter term as well. Of course, some people would exaggerate in the other direction, and some that it fluctuates wildly from time to time, but the long-term trend is really noticeable only when studying it, the actual temperature record. Sorry if I sound pedantic, I just like to be always wary of even minimal exaggerations because some of the denier types will often have some highly specific knowledge about certain places being colder and whatnot, or that temporary plateau/hiatus (1998-2013, per wikipedia) that happened for a little while, for nearly a decade if I recall.

    Disappointing. The two big complaints are due to their focus on the direct impacts from the environment over the next eighty years.
    First, they miss the feedback loops that the gradually escalating interim crises will create. As rich countries are called upon for aid by their citizens, they'll be less likely to help poorer countries (witness the lack of COVID vaccines going to the poorest countries), or even cooperate with other wealthy countries (beyond lip service - already evident at climate summits). The economic disruption will accelerate as the climate crisis becomes more and more evident, reducing the likelihood that anything ever gets done.
    Second, by pointing to the 3°C increase at the end of the century, they make it easy for people to treat this like a horror story that will maybe happen to strangers. “That's a long time from now, surely someone will fix the problem well before then.” They should be pointing to the unprecedented flooding in Germany, the unprecedented heat wave in Australia, the melting of permafrost in Alaska and Siberia, the fires in the U.S. west - all happening now, and all harbingers of worse to come.

      Check your facts. There are no unusual event mentioned here by you. Fires have reduced over the last century, deaths from natural distasters have reduced by 90% since 1900. The area we now call Germany had worse floods in the fifteenth century and the intervening years. The heat in Australia is not unprecedented. Try listening to some facts supported by historical documents quoted by Tony Heller or Patrick Moore. They will both also inform you of the scams and lies perpetrated by governments and UN agencies. Remember that both Gore and Obama gave us dire predictions of an unprecendented increase in sea levels, then both purchased multi million dollar beachside mansions. Sea levels are 200 metres above their lowest level and 40 metres below their highest level. They have been increasing by about 1mm per year for thousands of years. Great Britain became an island nation 10,000 years ago when an increase in water level washed away the chalk bed, creating the English Channel, almost 10,000 years before the industrial revolution and the burning of fossil fuels.

      At the opposite side of the Galaxy where we were 6,000 years ago we experienced a mini ice age.
      Prior to each ice age our planetary system warms up, melting polar & mountain ice, causing the oceans to become less saline.
      We also experience increases in Volcanic activity, which eventually results in the sun being blocked sufficiently to cause rapid cooling, thus an ice age.
      The ice ages affect the northern hemisphere far more than the the southern.
      In the case of major ice ages, the only region where life can survive for many generations is the equatorial zone, which is much colder but not the extreme conditions which make current Antarctic temperatures seem like a heatwave.

      I agree we can reduce fossil fuel usage but I don't think its effects are enough to cause climate refugees unfortunate circumstances.
      Rather than spend so much money of the reversal of climate change ( which we cant) why don't we use that money to build sea walls, dams, forestation to prevent fire spread. Irrigation to inland farms.

      This means developed countries need to do more right now to reduce CO2 emissions. China for sure is a problem but has become a problem due to developed countries outsourcing their manufacturing in order to buy cheap products and the per capita rates show this.

    Today in social science class my teacher discussed abt climate change and so I decided to watch some videos based on it and this was the first one that came up. I found all the info very intriguing up until they stated "too much water could be a problem too", this is what made me think of my country 'Fiji' which is basically one of the largest islands in the Pacific but compared to all the other developed countries, it is not much. Anyway, I thought "bro, have these guys heard abt Fiji? We're literally surrounded by water and sometimes it even comes inland " , next thing I know...Fiji pops up as the first example of "too much water can be a problem" and my heart stops for a few seconds. This is when I realized how serious this issue abt climate change is and that we all must take action immediately to prevent it from destroying our lives and our beautiful planet any further. As a teenager, I promise I will do anything possible to try and help.

Now winters can barely reach -34 celcius and the temperature is now around -24 celcius. Summer temperatures didn't really change, but the felt temperature tends to get higher each year due to the higher humidity and summer rains are getting heavier and less and less frequent.
    We used to have a decent spring (a bit over 2 month) and now spring barely last a month at the expense of winter lasting for a longer period of time. Someday spring would just become a myth of the past with winter temperatures lasting 5-6 month, summer lasting around 3 month and autumn lasting a bit less then 3 month.

The amount of trees by m3 is decreasing, yet we are fine for oxygen for millennia. You create oxygen with photosynthesis, sure, but then where does the waste product go? Into the wood. Trees are only relevant to oxygen production if you were to have massive increases in plant matter each year, and you could store dead trees (prevent them from rotting). We are effectively doing this with biomass burning combined with CCS. If you
      are concerned about oxygen, support the burning of trees in powerplants combined with underground carbon storage, or stuff like carbon-capture and use.

Perhaps it's because there's no monetary reward for doing so. However, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start caring more.

That said, there are a lot of people who actually do care for others. However, globalization makes it very hard to care for everyone and so some people stop caring about others at all as a protective mechanism for themselves. The size of this problem also makes it very hard to grasp for the average Joe. It's easy to understand what it means when your local village gets flooded, and you can personally help in this case. A drought that affects a whole continent, that you are not even living on, is much harder to grasp and even harder to do something about as an individual.

      No we can't sustain 10 billion people.

    I can't speak for other parts of the world but here in Phoenix we've had tremendous growth over the last twenty years. The city is spreading out into the desert. That means more paved roads, parking lots and buildings. This creates a heat dome or a heat island effect. Maybe it would be better for urban growth to go vertically instead of horizontally. The City of Phoenix started its Cool Pavement Program a couple of years ago. I'm hoping this program will mitigate the effects of our urban heat island.

      Too late for cool pavements ! I was there 25 years ago and it was a cluster Phudge mess then! Phoenix is EFFED completely and those of you who stay are toast! Nobody will listen to people like me - they will keep having babies and expecting everything to work out just fine!

      I agree with what you, the problem in the US is the suburbs, the sprawling. They need to build more vertically and make the cities more dense to avoid more roads, traffic jams, and leave alone the natural areas that should be reforest and keep them as natural forest preserves.

      Parking lots, roads and cars are definitely part of the problem! Yes, it would be better to increase the density of American cities, and to make the public transportation system more robust. America falls behind in this regard, but I know people are paying attention - young people in particular.
      Zoning codes are changing, public transportation is getting some new investments, but people still love their cars. I’m hoping the car-centric American ideal dies off, already.

    I take it as a really bad sign that in the USA Florida has passed a law forbidding the mention of climate change in any government document.

    I'm 33, live in Poland (central Europe). In my childhood we ALWAYS have snow in winter for almost 3 months. Now, last 5-6 years snow is only for couple weeks. I can't even imagine how it is in places like arfican countries and how people could live in those places...

    When I was growing up in Ohio back in the 1950's and 60's I remember having snow on the ground on Halloween. We have recently been hearing from family that temperatures have been in the 60~80° range for some time.(11/5/24)
