Climate: why we're NOT doomed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2023
- A new U.N. report found that the world is likely to surpass its most ambitious climate target - limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial temperatures - by the early 2030s.

"All we have to do is convince the people who have all the power to do something that they don't want under any circumstances, in an effort to suffer less as we all die anyways just slower."
We live in a democracy we can vote against people who make the problem worse
When the richest and most powerful people control messaging that reaches millions if not billions of people, it makes it more difficult to create popular support. It's not impossible, but everyone will have more difficult times ahead while the "captains of industry" and politicians age, die, and become worm food.
@@marceltelang7825 It doesn't function as a democracy my dude, even if it is some mix of democracy/republic on paper.
@@stickjohnny In what way isn't it? are you talking about lobbying?
@@marceltelang7825 Essentially yes. Public opinion has nearly zero impact on legislation overall.
“If we dont take these measures, we are doomed”
“Are you going to do them?”
“No”
[1:01]... but we lack the power to execute that knowledge and talent. That's really what this comes down to. We're still in the convincing phase after 40+ years of knowing this was a problem.
Fr, you would think the evidence would speak for itself, rising sea levels, heat records being broken every summer, crazy droughts and fires every year that just get progressively worse. People will listen to some 2000 year old prophecy (2012 end of the world, among many others) before they listen to evidence and logic, the world is a crazy place. Humanity deserves a massive Darwin award.
So we have the capacity to overcome this, but because of how overly curropt with power the majority of the world is, we won't be able to recover.
minority* most people aren’t evil or corrupt, its just those who have power usually are.
Not the majority, not even the minority. It's the system. It is necessary to dismantle the structures that advantage this way of production and consumption.
I am not evil and I see eliminating oil brings downturn to people’s living quality
This is the weirdest religion
So in other words… we are doomed
Also a good way to get rich people to do what u want is give a reward to those who do it, not money, tax breaks, like 10% less taxes for a year or 2. Sure it could go badly but it’s the only way to get them to do what u want
That's basically giving them money.
The climate shit is a hoax. Not the left saying we're gonna go into an ice age in the 70's
No we’re really not doomed. They’ve literally been saying this for fifty years. Always pushing back the date. Young dumb idiots believe people who fly in private jets. It’s sad how stupid our youth is.
This would work just as well as how trickle-down economics works (it doesn't)
Or maybe we could force them (wink wink)
"Countries just have to immediately transition away from fossil fuels"
So We're Doomed.
At this point not even optimists can hope for net Zero by 2050 or even a decrease in emissions.
the only thing that might happen in that time is a decrease in the rate of Release of greenhouse Gases.
But they've been saying this same stuff will happen for years, yet they keep pushing back the date, not denying that it will happen eventually but everyone claims to know the year it'll happen then it passes, I think we're fine for a while
@@joshwoloszynyeah and then one day we won’t be fine, did you just want to wait until then ?
Climate change: why we in the first world arent doomed while everyone in the global south is
So we are doomed.
yep
Yeah, in other words, we're still doomed.
We know what's wrong. We know what to do. But those in power and with influence don't give a shit.
Time to rise up, overthrow those in power, and eat the rich. Prepare for the age of eco-terrorism.
So... if we all eat the rich right now, we can still make it.
That's what I'm saying! We need some modern day Robin Hoods. Take everything from the rich, and use it to create a better future for us all.
Let's start by cutting our politicians unnecessary business trips to other countries. If they said Zoom/Skype was an acceptable alternative for the citizens during covid, I'm sure they can make that sacrifice to save the planet. Right?
We’re not doomed, we are just going to die from either severe storms, flash floods, forest fires, extreme heatwaves or severe drought, all leading to massive crop failures all over the world 😂
People have already died just not you
Soooo… rich people
“We have 10 years to stop climate change or else we will all die”- climate experts every 10 years for the past 30 years
Wrong. They've been stating that we need to take action because they were trying to avoid this scenario we currentlt find ourselves in. Lemme simplify it for you, when I was in school, I was a chronic procrastinator (still am honestly), I would leave things till the very end, teacher would give us the full year for some if project? I'd pull multiple all nighters to do it in the last week. I wouldn't study till the day before the exams, I left everything till the last minute so instead of slowly getting everything done in a timely manner, I'd need to take drastic and unhealthy action to get it done fast. That is the position the world finds itself in. The climate expert are the teacher, reminding us to work on our project instead of leaving it till the end, but we ignored them, now we are in the final stretch and we have two choices, take drastic action or give up. If we had slowly cut back on fossil fuels then we wouldn't be where we are today.
Why'd it take a year for me to see this?
Lookin' at you, RUclips.
Fun fact owning 90000$ (financial + real assets minus debt) is enough to be among the richest 10% worldwide
That’s a lot of debt-free assets
We won't do anything that will make a difference until it's way too late. This is why I chose to be childless.
Humanity is one big Darwin award, and we will take most life on earth with us. I hope the rats rise up and take over when we are gone.
No. We're All Still Doomed
First and thank you for all you do in creating these ❤
Honestly the big oil needs to be shut down obviously their not going to stop doing what they were founded to do
They were....founded to mine oil? And theres no energy infastructure to replace it because nuclear scary.
Title is inconsistent with content. The people who are causing the problem are least likely to be affected by it, and continuing to accelerate the damage caused.
Yeahhh... We're pretty doomed
So we are still doomed, thanks.
Or we could just follow the french example and rise up fighting
Then you see the true colors of law enforcement and military leadership. If they aren't desperate too, they'll crack down and serve the interests of dying rich people and desperate politicians.
Is it working for them?
If we look at past climate records we see this is a natural cycle for the earth.
It isn't. Naturlly the earth gradually increases and decreases in temperature. Since the Industrial Revolution, the temperature increase skyrocketed
Clearly you haven't looked at past climate records lmao.
Enjoy the coolest summer of the rest of your lives!
That is now every summer. "This is the hottest summer I've ever seen" "and next summer will be even hotter". I tried explaining this stuff to my dad and he thinks it's impossible to transition off of oil and gas in 10 years. Like I don't disagree that it's radical change, but at this point we need radical change.
@@TheDevilslayer101 Have you pointed out to him that climate can only tip so far before crop failures become the rule rather than the exception? Ask how many failed harvests in a row he thinks the world can handle before countries are fighting over beans.
Sooooo we're doomed
This is a radical af idea, but has anyone thought about the potential of legitimately just unaliving the rich people? No joke this could solve atleast 60% of the problem. Like no joke, we could use the riches to build green energy infrastructure and simultaneously ensure that everybody has food and clean water. Honestly it would be kind of a small price to pay imo, especially since they are dooming us all. It kinda seems like the most straightforward and realistic answer to me ngl
I honestly don't get their logic. Like who is gonna buy all that oil when humanity becomes an endangered species.
Doesn't matter. All that matters to them is the short term profit and getting as rich as possible. Capitalism doesn't worry about long term impacts, it worries about profits and lets the government worry about impacts. When things really go to hell, the CEOs will blame government officials for allowing them to doom us all. They never take accountability for their actions.
Well...this is what happens when nothing is done to actually replace fossil fuels (cough nuclear cough cough)
Idk if nuclear is a good long term solution but it certainly is better than what we face right now. You are right though. How many climate accords have we had? And everytime the governments renege on their promises like clockwork. If we started investing into green energy in the 80s, and actually followed through with our promises to reduce emissions slowly, we coild have bought ourselves more time to find a proper solution. We could have invested into research to find better ways to store power, but now it's too little too late. We need radical action to save us, and too many people are resistant to the radical action that is required.
I'll take them seriously when they explain why Tesla has a lower ESG score than Phillip Morris and Shell oil. Go ahead. I'm waiting
Yeah we're doomed.
So… we’re still doomed
...so we're still gonna die.
Pretty much, unless something crazy happens like people rising up, overthrowing their governments, and unaliving their rich people. But the majority of media propoganda is working hard to prevent that.
Basically everyone in the US is in that top 10% btw.
Wrong.
@@TheDevilslayer101 I’m blown away by your evidence and well-reasoned knock-down argument.
@@MusiKo14 why would I waste my time explaining to someone who is so clearly unreasonable? You're wrong, the top 10% is business leaders and politicians.
@@TheDevilslayer101 dude. Did you watch the video? They were talking about the global 10%. Obviously most Americans aren’t in the American 10%. Lmao
@@MusiKo14 sure, if you believe the rest of the world is nothing but starving people.
Ok when do we get nuclear everything?
Nuclear is a great idea but it’s a bit expensive it’s great to use them along with other green energy sources
Man you've been saying that for 40 years, and you'll keep saying it for another 100, one day something will happen and you'll be right.
A broken clock is correct at least twice day.
CO2 isn't a big deal if it's looked at the right way. We will have the technology over the next couple of decades to use CO2 the way we use oil now. Quaise Energy & GA Drilling, among others, are on the brink of transforming geothermal electricity into the cheapest form of green energy. With cheap electricity to power electro chemical manufacturing, producing the modern products we've grown used to like concrete and plastics, we can do it without the production of CO2 or by using CO2 as a raw feedstock instead of oil.
Technology isn’t going to save us because 1. It needs resources 2. The problem is of an immense scale 3. Capitalism / unnecessary stuff is the reason we find ourselves in this predicament in the first place.
And on the other hand, there is no quick solution to cutting off fossil fuels. We don’t currently have the mines, production plants, or supply chains in place to switch to renewables in the next 3 decades- let alone the next 7 years to try and do this by 2030, and to try cutting it all immediately would stop or at least slow development of countries where people currently die for a lot of underdevelopment-related reasons that have nothing to do with the climate, and that would kill much fewer people if we just develop at full speed. Guyana had like $2000 gdp per capita five years ago, and it developed a ton of oil and is now one of the richest countries of South America and getting richer. Which means roads will be built stronger and safer, and more foreign investment will come in, houses will be built stronger, which is what really matters when it comes to climate change. The same Category 5 strength storms that would currently kill 50,000 people in Bangladesh but only 50 people in Florida shows that it’s not the intensity of the storm that causes civilian deaths. It’s lack of development and global poverty. The desire to blame everything on climate change, and this all the fault of the rich and the oil companies, is easy. Better to see where the actual problem rests and to develop the whole world much faster so that all buildings can be constructed stronger and with Air Conditioning.
The solution to climate change is to build more stable houses with air conditioning? What good does solid infrastructure do when the entire region will be flooded and under the sea? What good does a solid economy do when your country no longer exists because it's inhabitable. Not to even mention where do you think the energy for the AC comes from?
@@AleksiJuvakkathe answer to climate change was nuclear, but everybody was afraid of it ( despite everybody who dies from coal, its literally 1000 times more for the power produced when brown coal is involved) so climate change it is.
this aged poorly.
?
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love how this keeps coming up every 10 years lol.
They keep saying something a little different too. pushing the deadline
Can you show me where the IPCC's predictions were wrong? Thanks.
@@adanactnomew7085 The fact that the world hasn't ended yet is proof considering they said the world would be ending in 5-10 years since the 50's.
@@sapphiredragon114 "An Inconvenient Truth" comes to mind...
@@KamronFultz That is an inconvenient truth, Thanks for noticing
You know a nuclear war would cool down earth and fix overpopulation😉
There is no overpopulation btw, look up population density map for the world, you'll see.
This is so npc. The reason the people at the top aren’t taking it seriously is bc it’s not real
But it is?
You could always evaluate the evidence, like rising sea levels, or the fact that we keep having record breaking summers, or the crazy droughts year after year, or the fires. Why do you listen to the propoganda like a sheep?
you forgot the part where the IPCC stated that their more dangerous predictions are lower likelihood.
Isn't that kinda how that works?
@@ADP057 Yes, but I'm stating that not because I'm supposedly stating the obvious, but for two reasons, one, people are stupid and need to know that (I'm delving a little deeper into this reason in my second reason) and two, their larger predictions everyone uses as proof that climate change is the largest issue in the world today don't ever take a moment to look at them stating that it's a rather low likelihood. It's a problem, not an emergency.
Hey we lose some coastal city but we will gain new ones. Who care
Sea level rise is a minor problem compared to mass starvation from drought, desertification, and thermal crop failure.
You will when you lose your home in massive fire like the one in Hawaii or the one in Northern Canada earlier this year (2 examples among dozens of terrible fires that are becoming more and more common). How about when the droughts get so bad that the poor and middle class Americans are unable to afford water?
It’s not the hottest year on record, as they claim. Date back weather for 2000 years and check out the temperatures 😉
And where do you get this fact?
Sure, today in the beautiful year of 2000 the weather was 8 degrees Celsius COLDER and the winter of 2000 compared to winter of 2022 was on average 5 degrees celsius COLDER TOO! Todays temperature is hotter both in summer and winter, at least in my city but I dont see how it matter where we are located to prove that earth is hotter than it was 22 years ago.
Y'all be saying anything without citation stfu
Y’all disabled comments on the video about anti troon bills being 400. I just have to say those are roomie numbers and we need even more
This is Washington post, who cares… call isreal they normalized all this
Anti-Trans? because I agree.
I would say sure but how did you mess that up
@@zhiqiangchen6235 ???
I agree that Anti-"trans" bills should be expanded.
@@sapphiredragon114 no. It’s the top comment. Troon?
