mt rainier is a huge example, my grandpa was saying that he'd never seen so little snow on it, and this change is observable from upwards of 50 miles away
+Punished Roy - Hehe, even so, people don't argue about climate change; it is indisputably happening. The argument is whether or not humans are causing it :P
Insertnamesz / Punocchio
>The argument is whether or not humans are causing it
Who is having this argument? It sure doesn't involve climate scientists, they've pretty well settled on the consensus that human activity is causing it.
i live in a third world country, air pollution here is 3-4 times above average in winter... we are trying to get our government to reason but they dont care at all and why would they care when US company comes and fill their pockets to build huge factory which will pollute our air even more and contribute to the global warming... so instead asking us all who dont have money and time to deal with this problem just go and convince the first world countries on lowering the emissions and like with wars and everything else they will be able to force us to lower our negligible contribution to the global warming...
above all its the first world countries who created all this pollution and caused the global warming mostly because they are the ones exploiting their vast resources in the past when this problem started...
+IamIUareU EXACTLY. right on target brother. **************************BERNIE SANDERS 2016*************
+IamIUareU Climate Change is a lie from the government.
....
....
....
...
HAHAHAHA, FOOLED YOU.
+IamIUareU It's not that I disagree, but the think you might be conflating air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which are two largely separate issues.
Normal air pollution is mainly localised and has a direct impact on human health, common air pollutants include small carbon particulates and nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide. This type of air pollution comes mainly from transport and industry and is, like I said, localised. It's also relatively short-term.
Greenhouse gases, which are also technically air pollutants I suppose, are not directly bad for human health - the fractionally higher proportions of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere do not directly harm people.
Again, I'm not saying you're wrong, but when you say 'air pollution here is 3-4 times above average in winter' it's not entirely clear whether you are talking about greenhouse gases or not.
Punished Roy
here where i live we dont have any climate change... 40°C in summer, -30°C in winter... the air polution is the main concern... have you ever seen the air pollution animations that NASA published? we breathe the pollution that US/EU/China is producing and we dont have so much factories to pollute it so much...
Merry Machiavelli
totally true, but i am talking about both... in my country 100% of the factories are owned by US/EU and they are the ones who doesnt care about the air quality here... they fill the pockets of the government and the government is quiet about the problem, even if the government tries to solve the problem we will have another Ukraine here, US oligarchs will be like "you dont want to play by our rules and you try to charge our companies for stupid air control laws so here you have it"... those factories which doesnt care about air pollution and health of their workers and the surrounding environment are also the ones who doesnt care about greenhouse emissions... my country is 25,713 km2 or 9,779 sq mi so even if one factory doesnt obey by the international laws for air quality and greenhouse emissions whole country will suffer, and since 2002 more than 20 such factories are opened here owned by US/EU companies....
I live in Kansas, when I was 5, we would get feet of snow a year. Now, its November 23 at 12:00 and its 53 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and no snow in sight.
+TheIdealGasLaw Not that I disagree with climate change and all, I actually do strongly believe that a change is necessary to prevent the effects of climate change, but the weird warm weather that's happening is actually due to the particularly severe El Nino cycle that we're in right now. At least that's What I've learned in class. I live in Minnesota, and we've had snows, but none that stayed for more than a few seconds.
+Golgiapparatus2 and that severe El Nino is caused by unusually high sea and air temperatures.
Nathan Logan That's what I thought too, but then I learned that an El Nino of similar caliber happened in 1997 when global warming was less severe.
+Golgiapparatus2 It isn't just a factor of severity but a factor of likelihood and frequency. Not to mention it isn't like we were at 0% global warming in 1997, if any current moment is considered "100%"--relatively speaking of course.
Im in san diego and getting 90 degree fahrenheit weather while others Are enjoying winter. This weather sucks
I am shocked that India is included! We usually get the shorter end of the stick. Every stick.

+Fronic and I hate it. I don't want to go vegan and the world isn't going to shit just because of meat.
Good idea - except that you don't tell anyone about the planetary thermal hysteresis. It takes a long time (several decades) for the effect of the existing GHG to force the planet to a new "normal" temperature. You could say that we're experiencing now what was added to the atmosphere-ocean system in the '80s. If we could somehow cease all CO2 and CH4 increases today, it would take decades for the planet to warm to the new level. The point is: we should have listened to _us meteorologists_ a long time ago.
And even if we stopped all GHG release now, there are a few feedback mechanism that will continue unabated - it's going to get hot.
And which particular politicians will commit political suicide? Politicians are influenced most by their donors who have money, and it's not to their advantage to change a system that currently supports the rich. And what untested geoengineering solution will we attempt to use at a scale that's 10 times larger than worldwide food production? (Current CO2 production is over 35GT per year, and world food production is under 4GT)
Why not present the entire picture?
+Rand Huso because it's called minute earth, not 2 hour earth. This was a great video to get ignorant people thinking. Your comment represents a combination of entitlement and arrogance that only adds to the paralysis of the movement that these guys are actively trying to promote. Please just share the video.

Reading through the comments of this video is so disappointing. So many people who don't realise that climate change is real and is happening now, and fast. Please put aside your childish remarks and wake up to problem that we as a planet are facing.
so true
+BuilderOfBlocks
Well, let's see. That might be because its NOT happening. Compared to the Carboniferous Period, we are at about half the average temperature and something like 1/10th the atmospheric CO2, if my memory serves.
Its not happening now; 20 years with no change in temperature.
And certainly not fast, because the slope of that temperature graph for the last 20 years is FLAT...and the slope of the temperature graph for the last 400,000 years is NEGATIVE.
So, yeah, actually slowly COOLING as a planet...which is kinda what you would expect from a system that is slowly losing its inertial energy derived from the Big Bang to drag.
+Ryan resa Yes, the temperature graph for natural causes is almost flat, the graph for man-made stuff not: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-whats-warming-the-world/
Ryan resa Note that I said climate change, not global warming, as it is also referred to in the title and the thumbnail
Ryan resa And your last paragraph doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe you could explain it to me. The way I understand it, inertia refers to an objects resistant to change of momentum. The only 'drag' is the 'drag' on the Higgs Field everything has, but that isn't true drag, and is only an analogous explanation to simplify the explanation for how things have mass and experience weight and gravity, which again would not contribute to the change of a system's entropy.
I have to say, here in London I don't think we notice it much...
+TheFingon Think about that again, please, Im sure that in your country the climate change has a bigger role than you think !
+Qwertboyo Still I hope to see you on Saturdays March for a Green World, organised by Greenpeace
+Skillz not really lol, you'd be surprised how many brits wouldn't mind having hotter summers and colder winters. Climate change hasn't yet had any profound effect on our day to day lives. Obviously some people care, but not nearly as many as one would hope.
+TheFingon London has storm surge barriers that are so far high enough to close off the Thames when needed. Clearly this has its limits.
+Alexander Williams More snow and colder conditions doesn't really disprove global warming. It actually kinda supports it.
More warming means that more ice would melt in the poles. This introduces more cold water into the surrounding seas which means temperatures would actually drop in some places. The Cooler seas around the Arctic would mean that melting would slow down but it's not due to global warming not happening but to the melted ice making the surrounding seas colder than usual.
It's the Earth Climate balancing mechanism.

Anecdotal data have the wrong timescale for climate science, and is typically what the hardcore deniers use to refute climate change concerns. For honest skeptics, charts and graphs are probably most effective.

I live in Minnesota, and let me tell you, Minnesota is beautiful. It has many different types of ecosystems compared to other states, and we recently just had a very warm Fall because of El Niño. This is destroying our ecosystems, and most likely will continue to happen, at an even faster rate. Don't be idiots and accept the fact that people are close to killing the Earth.
+Fried Keenan We've got a lot more to worry about from mankind destroying the Earth than climate change. Climate change is nothing compared to the REAL problems that mankind is causing to the various ecosystems, the biggest of which is habitat loss, not climate change.
+Liberals Are The Racists (Conservative Knight) "Climate change is nothing compared to the REAL problems that mankind is causing to the various ecosystems, the biggest of which is habitat loss"
--Specifics; On what do you base this comparison?
Stephen Nielsen Well, you can start with the fact that the Earth has not seen any significant warming in about two decades according to satellite measurements.
That, and the idea that regional changes like those explained in the video have happened all throughout history in extremely short time spans (
+Liberals Are The Racists (Conservative Knight)
"Well, you can start with the fact that the Earth has not seen any significant warming in about two decades according to satellite measurements."
--Why do you use only satellite measurements? What of heat build up in the oceans?
"That, and the idea that regional changes like those explained in the video have happened all throughout history in extremely short time spans (
Stephen Nielsen Well, the problem is that the satellite record and the surface record have differed significantly in the past few years, so to rely on both is to pretty much say we're clueless.
The reason I think satellite measurements ar ebetter is because they require fewer adjustments. Surface temperatures have to adjust for local conditions such as urban heat islands, thus leading to the potential of erroneous results.
NASA has made very heavy adjustments to their data (see Dr. Easterbrook's Congressional testimony for more nuanced information on that).
The point I'm making with my Native American example is that climate change is going to happen with or without humans, thus if we are going to make positive changes to the environment, we can start with those things we know we can control (I apologize for not being up front with that, I made another post on this video talking about effects outside of human intervention).
As far as your questioning of my last point, I'm confused. Could you possibly believe that invasive species such as those in the Great Lakes, habitat encroachment such as that in the Florida Everglades, and the endangerment of certain species of animals are not human-created problems?
Sure, I could provide proof of this, but I absolutely hope that we would both agree that those sure are problems that we face without me having to.
As far as the global warming side of things, I can be more clear. There is no evidence of any net adverse effects caused by climate change. What we have seen are positive and negative impacts of climate change. Positive changes include increased latitude range of various species of plants and animals, and the overall greening of the globe.
I'll provide references to those if you want them in another reply, but I'm a bit tired and don't feel like opening my bookmarks and hunting it down right now.
I live in Australia, and even though we receive large amounts of sun light the government still has it set up for energy to come from the burning of coal rather than solar because of the money involved. I find it disgusting that people will ruin the planet and cause the loss of ecosystems and lives through climate change. In an attempt to reduce my effect on this I will try to get solar panels installed on my parents house.
That's right carbon a lot of heat

Taivon sams
I thought I was the only 13 year old interested in these types of topics
I Live in Pennsylvania & Everything is pretty tight here. everything seems normal here.
Wish you would have posted this a few days ago when I was writing an essay about the effect of climate change around the world
😂Climate change, this is funnier than, well, now that I think of it, ANYTHING😂😂😂
That is so true!
Here in the Philippines we battle both drought and typhoons. There was a time this year that we tried to battle/adjust to both in one month. We were advised to do water collection on times of day to save on water and then there would be a storm the next week. We were also advised to save on electricity because of the same reason that was mentioned in the video.
It is getting confusing actually. Sometimes there's flashfloods and most of the time it is hot.
Boycott animal agriculture to make the biggest dent in climate change.
From my assumptions I would think that would be closed process compared to burning fossil fuels because the methane that animals emit come from plants that take CO2 out of the air where as in in fossil fuels we are releasing massive amounts without taking any in
+Simon Fong but if these animals weren't there, the plants would just continue turning CO2 into oxygen. There would even be more space for plants.
Simon Fong It's not just the animals directly. Each cow eats a massive amount of grain and water. that grain requires a lot of resources in the form of fossil fuels and water. As well as many square miles of deforested land to grow it.
The Blue Farmer Since for the most part people like eating meat the only way we would be able to reduce the consumption of resources I would assume would be alternative meat sources in similar way that we need alternative energy sources,such as insects or lab grown meat. I believe these will be easier solutions than simply boycotting animal agriculture
I agree but we don't have those things yet. The best we can do is inform others.
Good USA, you only are 10 years late from europe
+Triangle Production
And next is China which means they will change nothing about their pollution...
+MasterXG China is actually taking steps to the best of their ability. At the bare minimum there is at least a consensus in the political arena that climate change is real and is a serious issue. As far as I know the US is the only developed/semi-developed country where the legitimacy of climate change is still debated.
MasterXG
yes but the problem is that the Chinese political system relies on it's stable economical situation. Big environmental reforms could lead to a terrible economic crises witch could lead to a revolution, and the communist government of the people republic of china isn't rely into that kind of stuff... So yea, the world is fucked.

+Aiden Briant living in glasgow now, when i go back to england i'm sweltering, lol

I agree, but the if/when the jet stream ends (due to climate change) much less hot air will be brought to the UK, leading too cold weather
+Tommy This sadly might be true. Though we honestly have no idea what it would take to stop the jet stream. It might be that it doesn't happen without another century of CO2. Let's hope we put an end to climate change before it happens.

+Ronak Pol Even Iam an Indian. Of cource corruption is a problem, but we are talking about its cause, This year low rainfall led to surge in price of pulses in India.
This low supply of necessities is the cause of corruption, because people want them, even if they have to get corrupt for it, they will do anything to get these.
Hence a movement is required, a bigger movement for the cause of corruption.
Problem of Green house Gases>>>>>>>> Corruption, because THAT IS THE CAUSE.
Saeed Zafar my friend I was not even talking about the climate change movement not being helpful rather it is very relevant considering the delayed climatic cycle affecting the world today.. I was just addressing the link that has been given with respect to India not being of much help that's all..

Like generate a scientific + logical idea regarding curbing these effects, eradicate the cause of climate change, implement your idea, your technology, collect as many people's attention, and from there collect media attention, very soon your idea might get adapted by the nation. You and I have to try man.

now it is the wrong time to study astronomy but bit is the time to save the earth from destruction. we all should stop fighting with each other and looking for habitable planets because the nearest habitable planet is light years away and we cant go through the speed of light because of the theory of relativity. so, we should be together and do something swiftly to protect our precious planet otherwise all life wont survive. I hope the government agencies read this comment and also the very rich people so that they can do something to stop climate change and to stop the related economic losses to man and the natural losses to the Earth.
I live in Lithuania, and at this time of the month like 5ish years ago it would have been -5C to -7C or more than compared today which is around +3C to +5C sometimes reaching +10C. Decembers barely see the minus. Winters used to be cold and now they are like Fall.
+Chewy
Exactly the same situation here in Latvia.
+Chewy naturally occuring weather variations. Climate change does not yet influence the weather that much. Here in europe the weather is actually mostly determined by the north atlantic oscillation. This oscillation caused rather mild weather in the last years. This might change this year though because of the el nino.
+Strohalm4Me Isn't the el nino the effect of global warming?
No, the el nino happens when the upwelling of cold deep ocean water at the west coast of south america stops so that the surface water becomes much warmer. This has effects on the global weather. But El Nino has nothing to do with the global warming. It is a naturally occuring phenomenon that normally about every 5 years. But it is barely understood so far, we cannot acurately predict it. But we know it has been occuring for a looooong time, long before the start of the global warming.
+Strohalm4Me ok.
Kate and Henry have great voices ^^
"But climate change wont affect me!"
-Republicans.
You are correct.
California here, guys. Please send water.
I live in Punjab,India. In 2050 our water table has gone down ; monsoons are very unpredictable and our rivers are drying , floods are becoming very common . Farming which once employed 50% of our population is now almost gone
One thing fixes this. Nuclear energy.
Nuclear is zero carbon, but is a high density source of power, so minimal land use, and low cost. It also produces power 24/7, not requiring sunny or windy days. New Gen IV nuclear has even more potential.
Hopefully people will soon get over their fears of nuclear, get educated and start working toward a real solution soon. Oil and gas companies get richer the longer it takes us to find a solution, and when you do the math, solar and wind won't do it, so they love it.
I hope we can get fusion soon.
And if we can get fusion, a clean energy future is all but assured!
Paul Mahoney Well, there are 2 obstacles: capital cost and (once we get enough of it) heat.
Waste is what’s wrong
So you blame all these things on climate change (sounds to me like MAYBE half of them are actually due to climate change) then you advocate action that will, in the best case scenario, have no perceptible impact on climate change but WILL have devastating effects on economies worldwide damaging the quality of life of millions if not billions.
I'm fast losing respect for this channel.
+shivore Yeh, the USA spends $600 billion a year on military, directly damaging the quality of life of millions. If it spent even a fraction of that on green energy, fewer people would die and the world would be a cleaner place.Killing people and greedy capitalism causes economic damage, not investment in technology and renewables.
Also, it's not just about climate change. It's about removing pollutants and our reliance upon non-renewals, which are very quickly running out. By investing in green technology, we make the world a better place.
What actions did they advocate other than contacting your political representative? And how will their advice have a devastating effect on the worldwide economy?
+shivore Only one of the issues raised by this video is not well-evidenced -- the increase in storms. However, that's simply an issue of a lack of available data (so far). There are obvious mechanisms through which climate change might cause that, we just need the data to prove it. Everything else is supported in the scientific literature.
As for the cost, it's been shown that in the long term, allowing climate change to continue will cost more. So not being willing to pay for these changes is nothing but short-term thinking. There are also many actions we can take that are virtually free. The main reason we don't take them is due to a lack of political will -- skeptics have distracted people from the science with false claims.
+shivore Let's ignore the part where you say changing climates isn't actually climate change. They basically said "There's this big problem, and we can mitigate damage with action. More action is more mitigation, but it's also more expensive." Mentioning this issue somehow leads you to lose respect for this channel? This statement about action and cost is redundantly true for just about _all_ problems and their solutions. How is this any different?
Shivore. Nuclear energy is more efficient, safe, and eco-friendly than fossil fuels. We can fight climate change without hurting economies.
Entropy takes no survivors guys.
I live in Philadelphia in 2014 I got less snow in November,December and January then 2013 now I see no snow in site in 2015 for now :( the temperature today was not that cold like it used to in 2013,2014 just rain and wind little cold wind that all.😟😟
I live in Zeeland(the Netherlands) and the sea has flooded our lands before in 1953. More than a thousand people died and the damage was catastrophic. The Dutch government has built a massive dam(the Delta works) to protect us from future floods. But in recent years(even a few weeks ago!) the dams close more and more often. The effectiveness is questionable when they close so often because they weren’t designed that way...
Im Philipp, and to prevent the threats that come along with climate change, I went vegan, since it has the biggest impact on the world one individual can make :-)
+log1x07 how do you know someone is vegan? They will fucking tell you!
+SuperExibo how do you know someone isnt vegan? they always tell the same jokes :)
+Crux of course you can not change the world, you can only change yourself :-)
Just saying you come off as a narcissist who is trying to justify his way of living,and thinks he's better than the rest of the world.If the whole situation bothers you that much,you would actually get of your lazy ass and done something,but i guess this is enough for you to sleep at night,and that's the only thing that matters to you. ;-)
+SuperExibo first of all, dont be rude and stop trolling. I never said, I am better than any one else. How do you know, that beeing vegan is the only thing I am doing for the environment? Im an engineer and I am currently working on finding natural refrigerant substitutes for the common used R134a in domestic appliance, that have a much lower Global Warming Impact (GWP) but still offer the same cooling capacity needed for the particular appliance. Since you abused me of beeing so lazy, I am asking you, what are you doing for the environment and against climate change?

Lol rip
Huh
Glad you guys changed the name of this video ;D
What was it?
yes what was it?

Unbelievable, one of MinuteEarth team is in Cambodia. Greating from Cambodia, I'm a big fan in both MinutePhysics and MinuteEarth.
In UK, less sunlight means colder winters and so more people have runny noses, Influenza, common cold etc. So you can't go outside without ~2 coats, a mask and a bit of sanitizer.
peter from Minnesota represent :D
This Propaganda is really good! :D
I'm 100% on the side of climate scientists and this video but I thought we were supposed to avoid anecdotal evidence in a small measurement period as justification for the broader understanding of climate change. I think it's disingenuous and leads climate deniers to claim "bullshit" on climate change during mild years or years that provide ample rainfall in dry locations. It's one of the ways they use our information against us and I disapprove of videos like this that have random people giving their personal experiences. Let the science speak.
Hi,my name is Jess and I live in Malaysia. In Malaysia it can be as hot as a Sahara or as cold as normal weather.
This has cost strokes and death in Malaysia. It is also sucking up more electricity because we most likely turn on our air conditioner when we feel hot.
It is also causing global warming and draughts. Many ( billions ) young , small plants died in the 2018 January ( until March) weather. It has caused me to eat less vegetables because that would make it more worse as it ( the plants ) need time to replenish and grow.
And now as I am typing this in 2019 May, I really hope that this does not happen again. I as a human living on this earth support #OursToLose
Here the weather is
getting unpredictable. One day it is as hot as 49 degrees (celsius of course)but the next day, it is raining cats and dogs. And on other days it is so humid. The concept of seasons is entirely gone.
I live in amsterdam and we almost had snow in april and a week later it felt like summer 3 days long
But remember though, this '100%' Clean world will come at a cost. A cost which many people around the world aren't willing to take...
+Frontier Psychiatrist It's been shown that in the long term, allowing climate change to continue will cost more. So not being willing to pay for these changes is nothing but short-term thinking.
+Eduardo Fernandes Right now, it could be much more devastating for developing countries to try to get "clean" than for industrialized countries who already have a great deal of infrastructure. In America, more clean energy will increase efficiency, create jobs, and eventually pay for itself. In Africa, or even China, getting clean could mean slowing technological progress by decades.
+Frontier Psychiatrist The cost of NOT dying?
+Eduardo Fernandes money over life :3 the world is blinded by money
illyounotme China today isn't all that different from how Europe looked 100 years ago, which is pretty disgusting. But a surprisingly few countries have burned their way to the other side of an industrial revolution as of yet.
So a true global solution to our global problem doesn't just mean cutting modern consumption here in the post-industrial 1st world. It requires making a way through industrialization for hundreds of developing countries that doesn't harm the environment. And since all of us internet-users benefited from our grandparents cheating their way through industrialization, we do kinda owe it to the rest of the world.
Here in Chennai, India... usually a dry region, the torrential monsoonal rains right now are far greater than the usual average causing great damage to people and property. The city is flooded and more than 100 people have lost their lives.
All the house close to the water in my village were flood this spring... I'm from Rockland, Canada
I live in New Jersey in the suburbs of New York and Flooding is still a major issue. We had Hurricane Sandy witch obliterated our coast line and caused flooding like never seen before. With rising sea levels, we will see more flooding, and coastal erosion. We’re also seeing warmer winters, less snow, but bigger individual storms producing snow like nor’easters, we now have winters regularly hitting 70 degrees, rarely getting below 10 degrees anymore, especially this past winter, no snow at all, but lots of rain and warm temperatures. Summers are getting much hotter, typically getting 20 90+ days per year, now we are getting over 35 and instead of a heat wave or 2 lasting 3 days, (here in NJ a heat wave is 3 90+ days in a row) we are now getting 4-6 heat waves lasting over 5-7 days now. We rarely got days over 95 let alone 100, now every summer almost, temperatures easily surpassing 100 several times a year. We’re are getting more rainfall and more flooding with feet of rain than when Summer hits, the heat and humidity is unreal, easily surpassing 120 heat index and causing drought type conditions.
Global Warming is real, people deny it, idk why, but we need to stop it, yes Earths climate has always changed, but never this bad or this fast.

Sigh and trump still doesn’t believe in climate change........
STOP FARMING COWS FOR MILK AND MEAT. No, I'm not a vegetarian.
an eye-opener . hope all then people notice what's happening and start campaigning about climate change :) #OursToLose Make a Change and be the start .
While I totally agree in the message, I rather dislike that you are using your youtube popularity to push your political agenda.
I live in the Philipines and it was a tropican country but now i rain seasons its too cold and too much rain and in summer the heat is like your in a dessert
Here in Estonia's northern parts this winter there hasn't been any snow that's lasts longer than a day. It's a pretty cold country
one time i was in canada in the middle of dec and there was NO SNOW! 1 like one snowflake
(Actua) its on youtude new in Philippines...my dad watches it)in Philippines we have lot of floods cause of living by near by ocean's/beach but we have hot climate but the ocean is cold(cool)
geoengineering is costing more harm than good
+abd Almajed Saleh
tallk about that
Australia, sydney
Winter 12°c
Summer +40°c
1gigatitan true.
This unscientific fear-causing shit is "minute physics"???!!!
Nov. 8 2013 typhoon haiyan hit us in the Philippines 2 years later we are still trying to recover
Thank u for including Mumbai, India in the video...
Watching this in 2016 after trump is pretty depressing
Everyone tweet this to @realDonaldTrump
I'm from Indonesia. When I was 4 (year 2012) the rain season and dry season is stable, I mean after dry season there is 6 month per rain season then there is 6 month per dry season then the season cycle happen again again and again, till it's 2014 or 2015, WE CANT NOW WHEN DOES IT CHANGE THERE IS SOMETIME RAIN SEASON ONLY FOR 20 DAY, THAT IS ANNOYING MY LIFE. Also why there is tornado in Indonesia now, climate change did this
Tornado in Tropical Places is strange here
While not everyone may agree in climate change, I think that we all can agree in planet change.
Temperature change of 1 or 2 degrees does not seem significant, but look at the destruction of our natural landscapes, the water shortages, the continued plight of endangered species, etc. There is no denying that these are more real and visible. Perhaps instead of debating over climate change because it has become so politicized, we should all work together to save our planet.
I have an idea to reduce car pollution. (I'm only a kid, no one listens) How about we just use bikes! I mean, they are way cheaper, easily accsesible. I mean yeah, if you are going somewhere far but does it matter? You will have stronger legs and you will see more sights. Baggage problem? attach a little cart. Rain? Take an umbrella and attach it. Plus, one car could be melted into multiple bikes. Car wheels cut up into more wheels, fudge electric cars, bikes are the past, present and future.
Your absolutely right, eletric bikes are easy to maintain and some schwalbe tires can last years and go through glass, I ride my bike instead of drive, I hate cars. Keep spreading the cycling message, bicycles are indeed the future.
In Canada it's almost Christmas and it still hasn't snowed
I live in new Jersey so I might have to much water
Im Bored, earth is naturally going through a period of climate change. Remember, sit back and relax.
We are enhancing this period though which threatens all life on earth, we need to act soon to minimise the impacts and not sit back
I live in Washington and climate change makes windstorms are becoming much much stronger
I live in washington too, support 350 Spokane, and also bicycle more, I hope we get rid of plastic bags and fish net debris soon!
It's also shocking if you take a look at pictures of these regions 20-30 years ago versus today.
+The FALL .
Well I live in northern Canada and I'm still FREEZING MY FUCKING ASS OFF! Where the HELL is this Global Warming that everybody is talking about!!!!!!!!
JR
Wait. The Cambodia guy (Sorry I forgot your name) has such a nice accent. Wow.
no
Suvi-Tuuli Allan Ah don't be so harsh. :)
I'm not. Just my opinion. Sounded too Murican.
Suvi-Tuuli Allan Oh I see.
+Suvi-Tuuli Allan I was expecting you would say " I am not a guy.. "
Droughts in northern new south wales
The heat was so bad in Wichita Kansas two years ago that it was impossible to go out.
+ZogJhones I lived a little bit east in Olathe during that time
it was fucking furious. I couldn't go outside without drowning in my own sweat.

#leavetheplanet
Fact 1:Today,the global average CO2 concentration is 380 ppm
Fact 2: 460 million years ago,CO2 concentration was 4400 ppm
Fact 3: The temperatures are the same
hahahahhahaha on your face,climate change!
+Bidhan Dahal please be sarcasm, please be sarcasm
please tell me what about the facts are wrong.
That was 460 million years ago of course there would be more CO2
Wait you're in Cambodia to
I'm sure the sun has nothing to do with it at all.
+jamesryanphoto
You are correct because the solar radiation have decreased since the 60s.
+jamesryanphoto YURP YUP YUPPITY YUP
+jamesryanphoto The sun's energy is virtually constant. CO2 holds the suns nearly constant energy to the earth like a blanket. The heavier the blanket of CO2, the warmer we become.
+jamesryanphoto I'm sure scientists didn't think about the sun. Luckily, you're here to remind them.
Those Scientist like to keep their government grants.
Watch Cowspiracy.
I live in Indiana, and its COLD AS FUCK.
flopinator
It’s sill going to get cold in some places
Damn republicans
I'm in South Australia. Summer here is Hot but not usually hot until December. However this year, the heat started in October and we've had record temps just about every day since. This is going to put massive pressure on our power generation system as everyone needs to use the air conditioners much longer. On top of that El Nino kicks in again so that means more droughts, and as usual fierce bushfires and firestorms will be of threat once again.
Climate can also change on its own. I just thought I would inform you guys.
Regulations on businesses are ultra destructive to business, which is ultra destructive to us.
We cannot stop China, so even if the world stopped emitting, and China did, we would still be fucked. Let's not regulate what WĒ put out into the air. If you really care, maybe try and talk to the Chinese if you don't want anything. At all.
Hooya2 World leader in green-energy investment? Maybe. But who's putting out the most pollution? That's right. CHINA. It's kind of necessary for them.
Fuck yeah guys! This video will change the world, maybe only in a small way, but every bit helps in this global issue we face. Keep up the good work!
In Indonesia, rain came late this year and many people suffered, mostly the farmers. The heat is very bad that makes a lot of people prefer to stay inside. Many rivers dried up and electricity became a problem. Some lakes and reservoirs also dried up.
HENRY LIVES IN MY STATE!!! ANOTHER RUclipsR IN MONTANA YES!!!! There all science youtubers too! ☺
I went to the County Council building and said I was concerned about climate change and tried to show your video and they told me to piss off.....
Excellent video. It's always good to see content creators using their own experiences as means of showing their audiences how drastic this problem really is. It helps us realize that these horrible things can and are happening to real people literally all around the world. Thank You Minute Earth for sharing your stories and helping us realize that this is a human problem and not simply a political one.
