It’s definitely an issue. When I was in northern Canada I noticed it a lot on the roads. It felt like driving on a roller coaster because the ground under some sections of the roads had thawed. Thanks for watching!
Hi, David, You're presently living in an area that experiences higher extremes than most places on the planet due to rapid changes in global climate. And, as you're not a child, you've obviously lived long enough to see these changes with your own eyes. I have here, too. Plus, you have no connections to mainstream media. And, you have an actual doctorate. My point is, you're someone folk should actually pay heed to. Yet, the trolls just keep crawling out from under their bridges. I say, keep showing them the light of day!👍 If I may be so bold, there's yet another interesting point to be made. Historically, the Earth has actually spent far more time in a glacier period than a warming period. And, we should actually be entering a cooling period now. But, we're not. My point is, how about an episode focused on that scientific data? There will always be ostriches with sand on their heads. But, then, there's the other eighty-odd percent of the world's population. I've got your back, JJ
APpreciate all the support as always. I have been receiving messages from climate change deniers since before I even started this RUclips thing so its not unexpected. While it can be frustrating and its easy to feel the need to respond to everything, I try and pick and choose my battles for my own sanity. I try to look at these videos based on the positive comments I get rather than the negative ones that are not constructive. It could be an interesting idea to present the data on climate change, but I would also expect that to draw out a lot of the vocal minority of the climate change deniers. I think it's a better use of my time to try and tell stories people can connect to or find interesting that integrate some of that data, rather than focus on the data itself. Appreciate your thoughts as always though
@@DavidBysouth the only way you’re going to change things is to send us back to the 19th century and reduce the planet’s population by at least a 1/3rd. Oil cannot be substituted. It gives us cheap plastics, tires for our asphalt roads and medicine, along with a million other things. To get off of oil would be a death spiral for humanity. In short, thank GOD for oil and thank oil for the co2 that richly enhances the plant life needed to sustain 8 billion beautiful souls.
And if the rate of change is not fast enough for the Cause, then we can 1. Go back over data for decades and rework old temp measurements to make them cooler, thus making recent measurements appear higher, increasing the rate. 2. Disregard inconvenient data like from satellites, and focus on data corrupted by the heat island effect. And decommission weather stations too far out in the country that show little change. 3. To really get a motivational rate of change, climate models have been shown to have great effect on public perception. The beauty of models is they can be made to ignore factors such as solar and cosmic influences, and confirm whatever human bias we choose to input. Excellent public relations value. Al Gore’s 2006 movie showing Manhattan under water by now, is a great example of the power of creative modeling.

I wonder how many towns cities and villages are above the permafrost line are seeing structural damage...it's cause/effect.

No
?
The climate is always changing though?
What’s important to consider is the rate at which the climate is changing, not just the change itself.
