I used to do civil disobedience to try to stop pipelines, fossil fuel extraction, logging, and mining. I hoped to raise awareness and help create political change. I was arrested and jailed many times. Now I am just waiting for the end.
I did activism started in the 80s - full time - arrested eight times - worked for nonprofits, did lots of research and organizing. Micro algae can sequester 100 gigatons of co2 per year - published in 2023 peer-reviewed research. All the "global warming" scientists are so fixated on technology that we still ignore ecology. Raffael Jovine, double Ph.d. marine biologist, started "Brilliant Planet" as near-term ocean algae farms - he says at best - if he got more funding - his company could sequester 10 gigatons per year by "mummifying" micro algae. It just needs MORE funding and scaled up even more. Oil is from algae. Algae can sequester co2 50 times faster than any other organism on Earth. Algae is 4.6 billion years old. It's barely mentioned even in the global warming "scene" on the interwebs - hilarious! Why? People are too fixated on technology.
Thanks Peter for making this available. Johan is a clear presenter of the challenge we face. We may not succeed, but we must try our hardest and smartest, and be prepared to optimise or if necessary turn on a sixpence.
USA represents 4.5% of global population and per capita needs 5 Earth per year. *".. try our hardest and smartest,..."* would mean *no US American* even think about voting a certain Trump. So far from reality - that I wonder what you are dreaming of. What shall "".. try our hardest and smartest,..." actually mean???? Stop emitting right now?
He quotes a 1.1 degree rise, an out of date measurement from the IPCC. It would have been good if had acknowledged the last 12 months have already breached the 1.5 mark.
Yeah, there's still good reason to hold back a bit on 1,5 breach. If temps go down after the current high, the deniers and the lookaway gang will come on full force _Temps go down, No Global Warming!!_ Both aren't a proper representation of what's going on, but rather, snapshots. Only if temps remain high as current el Nino wanes, one can start to say, we might have breached. Activist and doomer alike are far too enthusiastic in use of that 1,5
@UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ how do you know it is a "momentary spike"? What is to say that this year won't be even hotter? What evidence is there that the past year's average anomaly isn't an incremental norm? The trend is up, and the last year's average is on trend. Nothing that contributes to the trend is changing, which suggests the trend continues.
@reuireuiop0 el niño adds about 0.2 but I'm referring to a 45 year trend. It will always bounce around the trend, and reaching 2023's over 2 degree peak above the 1850-1900 baseline is _on trend._ - and incidentally an example of "a momentary spike". When it regresses to the mean, i.e. back towards the trendline, losing el niño's 0.2, as long as it remains on trend, it will be a higher low. And so the trend goes. An upwards trend equals higher highs and higher lows. And it cannot be ruled out that the angle of the trend increases - indeed it looks like it is.
Always such fantastic insight - a great pair of hands to have over the science and holistic understanding. I sincerely hope this wisdom translates into enough planetary response to this grave situation. Thank you, Johan :)
Rockström is getting more negative in public these days. His discussion with Kevin Anderson, about the IPCC ludicrous assumptions needed for lower GMST temperature thresholds, is eye opening. Rockström is still peddling an optimistic pathway that lacks credibility in the real world.

Do not despair, Kiwi. There is time to find god or whatever it is that makes you happy. Read Steven Pinker’s book “Enlightenment Now” or just look his graphs up on this matter. You may well be surprised or enlightened. Yeah, there is a lot of despair doing the rounds these days. By the way, one is never too old, there is always something more one can enjoy. Who rises in the morning intend on having a day more miserable than the day before. Hell, it all too often turns out that way all by itself.
I can't take someone who wears the SDG lapel pin seriously. Sustainable Development is an oxymoron. Your health is your wealth. What a coincidence that longevity is headed south. Even the IPCC admits in their annual report on the ocean and cryosphere that climate change is irreversible on timescales relevant to human animals because of the excess heat absorbed by the oceans.
I agree that his reasoning took a hairpin turn at that point. The reconciliation is the tacit acknowledgment that the machine, in practice, cannot be turned off. A locomotive might be slowed, the tracks might be switched to a different material, but that locomotive is not stopping.
Peter, Your most recent video, "February 2024 Record Winter Warming," was deleted off of youtube today. I had just posted that link to a subreddit which has a bunch of like minded people in regards to the scenarios that are happening in our world. Within the hour of me posting that link to the subreddit the video was taken down. I was going to message you directly but there isn't an option to message you on your channel. I haven't seen you take down a video before and I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I know people wouldn't want this information going "viral" and having the main stream finally start reporting it so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just youtube taking things down because thats what they do with real information. I don't think i've ever seen you respond to comments before but I was just hoping to see if you could re-upload that video that you had posted or maybe send it to me and I could upload it in a different spot that it wont be taken down in. More people need to know that we are on the worst case scenario model(even above it). anyways, I hope you're alright and if you can get back to me that would be great as I want to continue spreading this information to the public so we can try and do ANYTHING other than the business as usual that we continue to do.
@@meneedmorebrain no it wasn't! Either youtube took it down or Peter himself. If he doesn't get back to me I'm going to try and message him on his website
Johan is very articulate, he almost makes me think we can do what he is pushing for. But then I look at the receipts that are coming back. We are in the 6th mass extinction and we have already wiped out most of the mammals on the planet besides us and our livestock. We have already passed too many tipping points, didn't he just say 6 were passed. Isn't the whole point of a tipping point that you are passed it and can't go back. Every year we put more CO2 into the atmosphere than the year before. We want to keep these living arrangements going even though they are destroying most life on this planet. Is that really a good idea?
Today humanity lives in one single global civilization. If that civilization falls, it will impact every single person everywhere. We're rolling the dice on our future. Change is the only constant they say, so let's change and keep our civilization moving forward. The cliff is steep, and it's a long fall to the bottom.
Cliff. Steep. I now see the top! That must mean I'm on the way down........down........down. Thank god it's so steep I can't see the bottom. I'm so giddy I know how to fly. Oh..... why are we still falling? I guess I'll try to learn to fly when the bottom is closer............plenty of time to hold on to the giddy!
The only way change would have happened was if those in power had done something many years ago. I seriously doubt anything substantive will be done now. I'll continue to vote for those that show they will push for environmental protections but it does seem it's just too late. So I try to enjoy what I have right now and let nature take it's course (yes, humans are part of nature). There really is nothing else to be done at this point. Don't forget though, that with every extinction event on this planet, there has followed an explosion of new life, with or without humans.

I find myself frustrated when we discuss the need to end the use of fossil fuels. We cannot continue doing as we always have but when we stop doing what we are doing 7 of 8 billion people will die. There is no math that allows for 8 billion to go on living no matter how we go about it. Even were this possible i do not expect anything like a modern, technological civilization can survive the chaos that will ensue as the 7 out of 8 perish, by one means or another. This makes the "trolly problem" seem quaint.
We waited to long to just begin to get upset about this. Now, here we are, over 8 billion rabidly addicted naked apes, over tense, unable to get along, and ready to lob nuclear missiles at each other, willingly, or by accident. I agree.
It will become more basic in simple terms and not as complex. Yes, we know how to build fires, to say the least. As a car passes by. If all travel by cars and trucks stopped today, we still have that existential threat. How about MEER Reflection Framework?
Every hundred million humans matter. These million or even billions of folks all would wish to have my standard of living and I don't want to give it up either. What happens when the price and availability of energy is radically changed (those things that might have a practical impact on standards of living) to say nothing of degradation of climate is the story of coming strife and the collapse of the human experiment. People can always present and consume the hopium. Can't blame them.
If next years without El Nino will _not_ reach 1,5 you'll be deaf from the denier crowd crying full volume - there's _no_ climate change. On no account we're anywhere safe. But you'd better hold back a bit until we're sure we've really breached.
Green energy won't cut it. How can he not know this? There's not enough resources in the ground to build even the first generation green tech let alone the severe pollution and eco systems damage from the mining.
We must pair green energy with shrinking our economies and simplifying our lifestyles. Otherwise, billions more people will die and millions more species will go extinct. P.S. You can shrink the energy use of a house by 50% by retrofitting it according to passive building standards.
@@HealingLifeKwikly The intention is that a lot of people are going to die. It is a plan carried out by the super elite, they want the whole world for themselves. Creating a super fear like corona and now climate change etc... . The greatest crime in all of human history is being carried out.
The "planet" is not at risk. The human species is at risk, and if we care about other, current, life forms, we are putting them at risk too. Group think is real, and may be a regulatory factor in limiting humans to change their thinking fast enough to forestall our demise. We have the potential to eclipse normal, inevitable, planetary species demise and become an actual interplanetary species. We are so close. It ain't looking good though and the demise side seems to be winning.
The entire web of life is at risk of a mass extinction event (indeed, it is already underway), and THAT is what everyone means when they say the planet is at risk of "save the planet."
We should never give up? What aren't we giving up? The notion that we're the owners of the Earth and can do whatever we want? Whatever the solution is, it won't come from anyone alive today.
The fact is nothing will change, at least in terms of large sweeping reform (and even if that does happen who will adhere to changes like being told they can’t buy a new phone for three years or they can’t go on an overseas holiday for five years etc.?). The fact is our entire civilisation operates the way it does because of cheap energy. We are simply addicted to cheap energy so badly that we would rather destroy the planet before changing our behaviour. I’ve personally reduced my carbon footprint by doing things like eating less meat, travelling less, not using lots of water etc. but it doesn’t matter because I am overwhelmed completely by the idiots around me who don’t even think climate change is real. People who swap their car for a new one every three years, people who buy a new phone every year, people who travel overseas every year etc. The mainstream is full of idiots who are sending everyone on this planet to their doom, and a lot of the mainstream have children. They don’t even care enough about protecting the planet for the sake of their kid’s futures let alone anyone else’s future. We are doomed.
He is right of course. But will the global power elite recognize the severity of the metacrisis & then implement the measures which are still within our ability to carry out? This would at least slow the rate of degradation & thus buy more time to (perhaps) innovate new ground breaking climate & ecological solutions.
Talking about a state of exponential growth, but he doesn't understand (or doesn't want to acknowledge) what it means... like so many other scientists!
Aren’t clouds the most (by volume) greenhouse gas? And aren’t they formed around cosmic ray particles, per Henrik Svensmark and team’s research? Strange that IPCC ignore these aspects when calculating their numbers and modelling their models, and exclude them from their findings in relation to their recommendations.
Either we go completely sustainable, OR, we go extinct is I'm sure what he meant to have said. Which path are we on now, with accelerating trend? I give you 1 guess: we have a 50% chance of going extinct as of this minute. Each day that goes by without significantly more sustainable solutions being adopted, means an exponential increase in the chance of extinction. What is our current rate of reduction in GHGs? NONE. We are actually increasing GHGs every day of every month, of every year since we committed to a global reduction in Paris! Despite this man's clownish gaslighting on the chance of survival, most people know in their heart of hearts that it is just a matter of time now before the greed of capitalism pushes each human being over the cliff of oblivion; first by the hundreds (2022), then by the thousands (2023), then by the hundreds of thousands (2024), then by the millions (2025), then by the tens of millions (2026), then by the hundreds of millions (2027), then by the billions (2028). OOPS! by the end of the decade the only people still alive will be Elon, Jeff and Mark.....won't that be a cage fight to witness!
The Great Barrier reef has regrown the equivalent to weed corals. They are highly attractive to crown of thorns and lack resilience of the old diverse reefs. This is better than nothing, but is the same as saying the old growth forrest burned down and there is now a mass of foundation shrubs and blackberry. And has been hit with a very hard season of cyclones 23/24 and warm temps this year. It will be hit hard again. It is not getting the break to return to vitality. It is self evident more co2 in the system is NOT replacing degraded plant systems. The information you are being peddled is low quality propaganda. Things will have to adjust, but best not pretend they are not happening.
I agree every bit matters. We can emerge from this crisis as stewards of the planet. Doesn't the Bible say God bestowed that role upon us? I'm not very religious but I think Genesis says something like that.
God "gave" us dominion over the Earth and all living things on it, with orders to be fertile and prosper. The most destructive words ever put to ink and paper.
"every bit matters" Actually, everyone knows that this statement is nonsense in its general validity. Your house is on fire. I piss at the frontdoor and expect "thank you" "Every little bit helps."
@@gehwissen3975 every tenth of a degree matters and every collective policy achievement and every individual habit change that helps reduce our footprint and maybe serve as an example will matter
@@miguel5785 2 billion people have been living within planetary boundaries for generations. They simply never had enough 'money' to break so much. That's a lot more than a tiny bit. Their exemplary way of life has not changed anything. "You're promoting Western compromises - even though you know better"
"And I bet he gets a big fat cheque for saying so. Dogma masquerading as intellect." Nice try but Rockstrom is literally the #1 expert in the world on earth's planetary boundaries. The science is rock solid--we are steadily destroying the Earth's ability to support life, including human life. Either we shrink global economies, simplify our lifestyles, or billions of people will die and millions of species will go extinct. This is about avoiding triggering a true mass extinction event--meaning over 70% of life on Earth dies off.

We must pair green energy with shrinking our economies and simplifying our lifestyles. Otherwise, billions more people will die and millions more species will go extinct. P.S. You can shrink the energy use of a house by 50% by retrofitting it according to passive building standards.
@@HealingLifeKwikly The intention is that a lot of people are going to die. It is a plan carried out by the super elite, they want the whole world for themselves. Creating a super fear like corona and now climate change etc... . The greatest crime in all of human history is being carried out.
The "planet" is not at risk. The human species is at risk, and if we care about other, current, life forms, we are putting them at risk too. Group think is real, and may be a regulatory factor in limiting humans to change their thinking fast enough to forestall our demise. We have the potential to eclipse normal, inevitable, planetary species demise and become an actual interplanetary species. We are so close. It ain't looking good though and the demise side seems to be winning.
The entire web of life is at risk of a mass extinction event (indeed, it is already underway), and THAT is what everyone means when they say the planet is at risk of "save the planet."
We should never give up? What aren't we giving up? The notion that we're the owners of the Earth and can do whatever we want? Whatever the solution is, it won't come from anyone alive today.
The fact is nothing will change, at least in terms of large sweeping reform (and even if that does happen who will adhere to changes like being told they can’t buy a new phone for three years or they can’t go on an overseas holiday for five years etc.?). The fact is our entire civilisation operates the way it does because of cheap energy. We are simply addicted to cheap energy so badly that we would rather destroy the planet before changing our behaviour. I’ve personally reduced my carbon footprint by doing things like eating less meat, travelling less, not using lots of water etc. but it doesn’t matter because I am overwhelmed completely by the idiots around me who don’t even think climate change is real. People who swap their car for a new one every three years, people who buy a new phone every year, people who travel overseas every year etc. The mainstream is full of idiots who are sending everyone on this planet to their doom, and a lot of the mainstream have children. They don’t even care enough about protecting the planet for the sake of their kid’s futures let alone anyone else’s future. We are doomed.
The Weather Channel just said this storm that went through the Chicago area was some you might see in April. Just about right with known knowledge.
He is right of course. But will the global power elite recognize the severity of the metacrisis & then implement the measures which are still within our ability to carry out? This would at least slow the rate of degradation & thus buy more time to (perhaps) innovate new ground breaking climate & ecological solutions.
We are at 1.5 above mean temperature
1.7C in February! Go humans go!
Norway built massive hydropower infrastructure for cheap abundant energy as the foundation for industry. It works
It's the rate..
The fossil fuel industry is so awful, literally destroying the future for a relatively few "days" of partying
Talking about a state of exponential growth, but he doesn't understand (or doesn't want to acknowledge) what it means... like so many other scientists!
Damn it lets do something. I like mirrors worldwide and, on the ocean, sand.
Not a mention of overpopulation...???!! Techno-based solutions? Still talking about 'sustainable' growth? No points scored in my book Mr Rockface.
Aren’t clouds the most (by volume) greenhouse gas? And aren’t they formed around cosmic ray particles, per Henrik Svensmark and team’s research?
Strange that IPCC ignore these aspects when calculating their numbers and modelling their models, and exclude them from their findings in relation to their recommendations.
Well, if we work together and work towards a common goal of sustainable energy, we can pull this out. Yeah, wasf.
Thanks for all the fish 😂😂
I prefer re_mineables to green energy.
And parts of Europe....
Dunno man. Something about that badge...
😊
Either we go completely sustainable, OR, we go extinct is I'm sure what he meant to have said. Which path are we on now, with accelerating trend? I give you 1 guess: we have a 50% chance of going extinct as of this minute. Each day that goes by without significantly more sustainable solutions being adopted, means an exponential increase in the chance of extinction.
What is our current rate of reduction in GHGs? NONE. We are actually increasing GHGs every day of every month, of every year since we committed to a global reduction in Paris!
Despite this man's clownish gaslighting on the chance of survival, most people know in their heart of hearts that it is just a matter of time now before the greed of capitalism pushes each human being over the cliff of oblivion; first by the hundreds (2022), then by the thousands (2023), then by the hundreds of thousands (2024), then by the millions (2025), then by the tens of millions (2026), then by the hundreds of millions (2027), then by the billions (2028). OOPS! by the end of the decade the only people still alive will be Elon, Jeff and Mark.....won't that be a cage fight to witness!
Indeed - as a previous commenters mentioned - this 'scientist' is not telling us the truth: we have already reached 1.5 Celsius.
This video is at least 8 months old, which was before 2023 had been measured as the hottest on record.
@@abody499Old information should not be published as recent without an explicit warning.
sure, I have no issue with that, except maybe with less intensity. The point remains, your original claim is false.
@@abody499Which claim?
"this 'scientist' is not telling us the truth"
… and WW3.
He probably should have written a script rather than winging it. It would have come across as more scientifically accurate.
The scientists don't need convincing...
Cee oh two is plant food. The Great barrier reef has grown.
The Great Barrier reef has regrown the equivalent to weed corals.
They are highly attractive to crown of thorns and lack resilience of the old diverse reefs.
This is better than nothing, but is the same as saying the old growth forrest burned down and there is now a mass of foundation shrubs and blackberry.
And has been hit with a very hard season of cyclones 23/24 and warm temps this year.
It will be hit hard again.
It is not getting the break to return to vitality.
It is self evident more co2 in the system is NOT replacing degraded plant systems.
The information you are being peddled is low quality propaganda.
Things will have to adjust, but best not pretend they are not happening.
so we save the planet?
Drivel
I agree every bit matters. We can emerge from this crisis as stewards of the planet. Doesn't the Bible say God bestowed that role upon us? I'm not very religious but I think Genesis says something like that.
God "gave" us dominion over the Earth and all living things on it, with orders to be fertile and prosper. The most destructive words ever put to ink and paper.
"every bit matters"
Actually, everyone knows that this statement is nonsense in its general validity.
Your house is on fire. I piss at the frontdoor and expect "thank you"
"Every little bit helps."
@@deepashtray5605 that is sad. I think they meant stewardship instead of dominion though
@@gehwissen3975 every tenth of a degree matters and every collective policy achievement and every individual habit change that helps reduce our footprint and maybe serve as an example will matter
@@miguel5785 2 billion people have been living within planetary boundaries for generations. They simply never had enough 'money' to break so much. That's a lot more than a tiny bit. Their exemplary way of life has not changed anything.
"You're promoting Western compromises - even though you know better"
And I bet he gets a big fat cheque for saying so. Dogma masquerading as intellect.
Hardly anyone uses cheques nowadays.
@@abody499Fuck me, you're a genius.
Evidently you're not.
"And I bet he gets a big fat cheque for saying so. Dogma masquerading as intellect." Nice try but Rockstrom is literally the #1 expert in the world on earth's planetary boundaries. The science is rock solid--we are steadily destroying the Earth's ability to support life, including human life. Either we shrink global economies, simplify our lifestyles, or billions of people will die and millions of species will go extinct. This is about avoiding triggering a true mass extinction event--meaning over 70% of life on Earth dies off.
A denier of medieval warm period .
Too late for the change required
