They aren't going to do it. Get ready for the wasteland.
Raw lizard and Mother's milk.🤮🤮🤮
Keeping up with the changes in the job market, I am up-skilling to become a flame-throwing guitarist.
Faith in fusion reactors. That's all that's keeping me going... slim chance. Very slim.
Watch that movie Elysium to see how it's going to look.
yup!
no the answer is corporations and governments not every person.
Sacrifice for thee but not for me. how many gold plated Bentley's getting around In Doha I wounder.
but every person adressing, that goverments and corporations have to ask. if need be by a lot of pressure and civil disobedience. democracy is threatened if we don't act
Stop driving. Stop jetting around the planet. Stop using plastic ...
@@stephenrioux6821 Oh I will sell my 5 private jets to the scrappers right away.
corporations are legal entities, person, like individuals, so yes, every person. Don't be a copout and evade your responsability, putting it on others
To do anything genuinely meaningful would cause a severe disruption to the global money "metabolism". Greed has supplanted wisdom in the 21st Century. Massive governmental decisions would be required for genuinely efficacious actions. Corporations now "own and operate" most governments. The next quarterly report has become more important than humanity itself.
Well said.
Not being a defeatist but I'm sorry if it's just 2 years we are as good as dead.
The 2 year is obviously on a countdown until irreversible damage threshold becomes a +0 number, in scientific terms.
And no one frankly, no nation, no government, no industry cares for it. Everyone only cares for the present and themselves.
To care for the future you need foresight, something 99% people lack.
Brilliant summary. 👏
Greed has been a fundamental value of the West for five centuries at least: nothing new about it. In the near future we will see if we can put the lives of millions of people above the greed of the very rich.
meaningless claptrap!
Get ready for Mad Max in real life
“Why are our governments not doing anything?” Greed.
The way the western democracies are structured. You always need to think about the next election so any austerity measures that have future benefits past the next election cycle are simply ignored so they can be positioned to win the next one
@@BufordTGleason And the way fascist governments are structured, you are always thinking what the next coup is going to bring. Both systems stink.
Because the Oligarchs are hanging onto Hegemony. They truly believe that they can control rhe world, as long as they maintain Superpower. Who is the WEF?
gluttony. addicted to animal agriculture, slavery, and war.
Climate change not being tackled because people think "who's going to pay the rent? who's going to pay the mortgage?"
Once again, landlords are to blame. If the land was set free and the people had their basic rights guaranteed, they would be under a lot less pressure to make a profit so they can survive.
Even better, if socialism managed to developed beyond communism, we could have spacefaring technology so advance that we could ever imagine. Yet, we are forever stuck in this unsustainable destructive system that constantly works common folks to the bone, and the elites that implement excessive consumption and wastages.

After the war they had it rough, but I know poor people that still go to Tim Horton's and by junk food while complaining about a cost of can of soup..In Canada , we are a over weight nation , we drives big cars and want everything.. USA, Canada, England Wales. loads of people are over weight, while 350 million are going to die from lack of foods.. Since the 90's I have been planting and growing my own food, people have yards that can't even buy a Apple tree , but kids running around with cell phones and having laptops. This has been coming for years they have warned us.. I have been telling people, learn how to grow and learn canning seed saving .. 10,000 people a year going off grid, if you have land I would plant and plant ..
@@user-hv1fm4ug7e lol kids these days :)
Nit picking at this stage will get us nowhere! Is this what we want? WE ARE ALL TO BLAME. We were misled when we trusted our leaders. We consumed and consumed, and we experienced happy, comfortable lives in the Collective West. What could have been better? Living in teepees and hunting and gathering? Life changes, nothing remains the same, in spite of what we believed as children or young adults after WW2. Let's face reality NOW.
A guy goes to the doctor. The doctor gives the guy six months to live. The guy can't pay his bill, so the doctor gives him another six months.
The hguy pays the doctor and the doctor gives him another 6 months before the next checkup, then doubles his fee. FIFY.
Just watched a doc on gold mining in Indonesia, miners child got mercury poisoning and to pay for the surgery to correct a problem he has to continue mining to pay for it.
No, You are confused by the Science of Climate Chaos because you are really Uneducated and really Ignorant on the subject. If you don't understand the Science you may as well go home and j*** off again. You don't sound like you have the education, motivation or intelligence to understand Climate Chaos, so you may as well go along on your way in Blissful Ignorance and just not be interested in what 99.7% of Climate Scientists have to say, get it?
Two Years? Two Years to enjoy the rest of your Life, this is Extinction.
I wont be drawing my pension then. 😂
I keep hearing the inevitable refrain that "we must look to our leaders for ...". The sad reality is that it has been the collective actions of our world leaders for decades that have led 8 billion human beings to the precipice of annihilation! Wisdom itself has been supplanted by the narrow greed and thirst for power by a very, very privileged few. The suicidal "hive mentality" of the human species will prove to be the source of our demise.
The hive approves of this message.
My whole life
You have this 'greed' fetish in your heated Western home, car parked out front, lights on and your new Chinese i-Phone set on SPAM. See a psychiatrist.
No representation whatsoever from the Global South - those on the frontlines of the climate crisis but not the front pages. The people who have contributed the least but have been suffering the most. What about their lived experiences? They have their own voices to speak to the urgency and scale of the problem. Whilst I appreciate the panel, the lack of representation is beyond astounding.
When are people going to start looking at the impact of military operations on the planet
They polute more than a small country
Military has very little impact. It's your benign soccer mom that drives to the grocery store, the one that flies to Disneyland in Florida, the mother that goes on a cruise ship, the benign soccer mom that turns on the gas stove or gas heater, the soccer mom that orders products from Amazon that's shipped by container ship from China into the United States. Every human that has a higher disposable income in a country with a higher disposable income call Mom produces more carbon dioxide. Between the years of 540 million years ago, and 55 million years ago, Earth has had five mass extinction events. The mass extinction events killed off between 60 to 90 percent of all life on Earth. For 60 years humans have not taken the seriousness of greenhouse gases seriously enough the warnings came out 60 years ago and in the 70s and 80s the warnings continued the rising carbon dioxide levels will overheat the planet.
The Pentagon and their war machine 880 foreign bases burns more fossil fuel than the entire US Worker daily commute, so take your mil.bots back to Brussels.
@@nicolatesla5786 In the late 70's they were warning about the upcoming ice age...
People are to greedy , look at Canada , USA, England almost all common wealth counties people are over weight and they buy junk.. Evey year, millions die of starvation and lack of food and water.. The ones that are going to be ok, are the ones going off grid or grow there own food learn about canning storing food... I knew this was coming since the 90's been planting and growing my own food buy local got a small house drive a small car.. This isn't going to end well , mass migration from lack of water. 50% of the population by 2050 will be wiped out , . If you can , start planting or move to a place were you can grow and learn to live off grid.. Kids don't need cell phones and laptops endless junk , buy a tree and teach them to learn how to grow there own food....
Greed is the killer of all life
They are worried about migration? Then do something about the climate.
It’s to late we have set in motion a horrific ride to our own demise
To make a difference we would all have to consume and live like they did 200 years ago. That would take care of the corporations. Since that is unlikely to happen we will be lucky if a few thousand of us will end up living like we did 200,000 years ago.
Decades I have wished more people had great concern over the decision to ignore the science - we tried so hard to warn the world -
Two years - he says -
1.5 she says
I thought
1.3 was too hot to turn around ?
No matter
No one cares
😢
Nobody talking about emissions from military interventions:-
Bombs
Military jet planes
Tanks
Well, I could go on.
Making the drones.
The plastic waste etc
Hint: We have been over a 1.5C Global Temp Anomaly for over a year now, and it is not decreasing it is accelerating.
We won’t stop 2 degrees C will we, sadly.
Another meaningless line in the sand.. our destiny is unalterable at this point. They’re trying to say we only have a couple of years left period….not left to change.
He was being nice. We are nowhere near being able to reverse what we already set in motion. We can only mitigate and adapt. But anything done to try to reduce damages is welcome.
22:42 Thank you for mentioning Bangladesh. My country is among the top 5 most impacted nations due to climate change, and a quarter to a third of the land could be under water in or before 2050s. All is happening even though we are among the least emitters in the world. A hard pill to swallow.
Governments, churches, businesses, households are NOT taking climate change seriously
Household are not the culprits - fake weather -BG
Are you taking climate change seriously? Are you making choices on everything from your diet to where you holiday to how you get to work, with climate change in mind?
Only airheads take climate change seriously!
Only airheads take climate change seriously!
That's because the climate has been politicised and weaponised. The motive has always been political and Climate emergencies HAVE NOT increased, in fact less people have died from climate disaster than at any time in the history of the planet.
The moment Ronald Reagan took the solar panels off the white house..I knew it was over...
Mrs Thatcher was holding the ladder
They both drove neoliberal economic policies. That is what’s behind our demise.
Pre industrial temperatures goal Posts were changed from 1750 to 1850. Thats how they came up with the 1.5 degrees that we are at instead of. We just past 2 degrees actual.
James Hansen's recent " in the pipeline paper" suggests that there's at least another degree of immediate temperature change being blocked by our continued burning of dirty fuels.
The faster we shift to renewables. The quicker that extra degree of temperature change hits us. We are definitely in a real bind with that one if he is correct.
The Boral Forrest ring in the northern hemisphere caught fire in 2016. After burning for 5 years. Russia sent a research ship to investigate the arctic floor off the Siberian coast (To see if Methane is bubbling up yet enmass). It left the region 9 months later. Then Russia started its offensive on Ukraine 3 months after that. Can't help but wonder if Putin knows something that would make him think. That he has nothing to lose now that a catastrophic climate tipping point has been breached.
Welcome to the End Game folks!
In 1972 The Rome Report predicted 2040 as the end date of current civilization. Then it claimed we are ahead of schedule due to business as usual. Many don't realize just how close we actually are to this.
Perhaps we should all join hands as we go over the edge in just a few precious moments from now.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put bigger tires on my truck. With all this talk of higher sea levels.
Lololol bigger tires, and a rediculous lift kit !!! Lololol
2° was pulled out of thin air, by an economist.
"World is going to overshoot 1,5C..." FFS. We have already crossed that threshold. Over 12 months now, but in few years we are passing long term 1,5C and seeking to go past 2,0C (before 2040). Some days have been past 2C already (that's not climatic temp, yet).
10 months on record braking heat, monthly temperature records are blown to new levels...
We are currently heading toward 3-5C warming by 2100.
Or more if Hansen SO2 predictions are right... Doubling CO2 can mean 4,8C rise instead IPCC still argues for 3,0C rise... The larger rise is hidden under SO2 generated temporal cloud cover. Keeping fossil burners on keeps SO2 barrier, but the gap grows and so does warming ghg levels if we do so.
Earth energy imbalance is rising rapidly. We can measure this imbalance accurately from space (even more accurately than temperature). While Earth takes more enrgy in itself than loses to space, it is clear that planet is warming. (in physics, black body radiation...)
We have no time to save 1,5C or even 2,0C. But we have time to limit warming at 3,0C, or what ever our greedy people are letting it be.
Likely, the tipping points we already crossed, will run the Planet up to the more stable 10° C, that we call Hothouse Earth. Almost 80% of geological history, is spent there.
Even Olivine treatment, won't stop it, only slow the change.
Everything you stated is utter rubbish. Hansen has a PhD in Astronomy and he had to retoactively retire from NA$A Administraitor to avoid IRS tax prison for taking $1.3MILLION payola to sell his NA$A title to greenmailers. _He has no climate science credentials whatsover!_
I have known this since the 90's been learning to grow my own food and planting fruit tree's. Our problem since the war time, we have become a greedy nation.. Kids don't need cell phones and laptops, they need to learn how to grow there own food learn about canning and storing foods. In Canada the weed industry doing well, liqure stores, junk food flying off the shelf., people I know flying all over the place, we have big homes, cars ,over weight. 70% at least. It's, not the third world countries creating this mess its the rich countries that buy and buy.. I have been telling people with yards grow there own food and buy local, no one listens.. We will blame everyone but our selves. as a over weight women sitting in Tim's Horton's complaining about the cost of a can of soup 2.99$ while being 40 pounds over weight large coffee and two donuts.. Until everyone , stops with the spending and buy seeds and buy local food we are screwed , people are to greedy to change...
@@user-hv1fm4ug7e Sooooo well put. Up north, the option to stay put, as the climate warms, is a viable one.
What I have opted to do, is live on a semi-sustainable old sailboat, starting a garden in the forward cabin (and container gardening anywhere in the boat). Collect and filter rainwater, solar for the required lights, and live minimally. Getting a late start, complicated by a recurrence of my cancer from 10 years ago, but what else can you do.
Supplementing what I can grow on board, the few fish and seaweeds, that I can still find. Moving around, to find livable spaces, in creeks and rivers. Carrying tools and skills, and knowledge.
Keep up the great work. You will be one of the survivors, and a nexus for keeping the Human population alive.
As James Hansen said in 2023, 1.5C is dead.
A 2 year warning that is only 20 years tooo late.
I’d say 40 years too late.
All of us? It’s our responsibility?
It’s like 12 companies, and our addiction to their products.
We really, really need to eff up Nestle, not only are they killing children for profit, they are bottling up thousands liter more water than allowed - but still doing so cuz political lobbying.
Yes, all of us. You answered your question, it’s our addiction to products.
It’s not going to happen unfortunately, it’s going to be the hard way. Most human population will starve from drought and thirst and states will wage unlimited wars over the scraps those most responsible are to greedy more than happy to sacrifice the rest, seems very unlikely that our political systems will be adequate to respond let alone our politicians. It’s going to be apocalyptic human misery worse and worse the next 70 years probably going to see our population reduced by half or more.

16:58 landfills and agricultural waste management are big issues in addition to pollution from oil, fracking and mining.
Cool the planet?...slow the warming is the best we can do.
Why are we not doing what is needed? Simple. As soon as some policy change directly affects our pockets, e.g. with a fuel price increase, we make it clear to our leaders that they should reverse the decision.
In the end is up to us citizens, all of us. Either we believe that this is a serious issue and we are ready to change our lifestyles and commit our resources to solving it or it will not be solved.
I don't think it matters what households do when our governments just make deals with corporations to enrich themselves. They blew up nordstream releasing more methane than 100yrs of cows could make. They don't care about the environment or you, they care about money and power.
The problem...is that the modern world has been built around this entire lifestyle, we should have a severe recession, and go back to local markets, and local jobs, breaking globalization...which i see unlikely
But 1.5 degrees has been passed several months ago. Is this a reupload? What is going on.
The 1.5 degrees was temporarily passed several months ago, yes. Policy is charted by averages. So yes, we're very close to that 1.5, but whether we're past it, is yet to be determined.
We're doomed.
We have gone over 1.5 degrees C. We won’t stop 2 degrees C. Sadly.
Doesn't Planned Obsolescence mean unnecessary manufacturing which has to produce lots of extra CO2?
But economists will not talk about PO or the Depreciation of durable consumer goods since Sputnik.
Our current endless pursuit of growth at all costs is responsible for this. Some of us affluential humans need to become "ungreedy". Whats more scary is some people can still live by this, and they control our corporations and money funds.
where's the discussion about the percentage of farmlands solely being wasted on excess animal agriculture?????
Oh well, that is sad, exit humanity!
We need to stop saying "save the planet" the planet will live on without us, its the species that currently live on the planet that we need to save
Hang on to your hats people
its gonna be Exciting
Dont forget to VOTE,...
VOTE like yer life depends on it.
Sounds like they need to change the ways businesses work. Maybe the way they're always trying to do better than the last year might be having an issue. Normal people aren't going to make a difference, but mega corporations and governments militaries should step up and do their part instead of passing the buck to the average person
We are to selfish a creature to do what's best.
This programme does not appreciate the rapidly accelerating nature of the upcoming heating.
Prof. John Sweeney: is there a way of translating the dry text of climate-change events into a Hollywood blockbuster (that sticks to the science for a change)?
This is by far the best and most insightful inside story episode I have watched. The panel was amazing. Also if EU is now bending over for lobbyists then the world is screwed...
If that was proposed 7 years ago it would have made a difference. Now it's far to late. Politics...
people do not know/cannot realise what is coming. The issue of CC cannot be solved without solving the inequality among persons and nations. Do you think they will do it?
It truly breaks my heart that peoples greed will destroy all life on this planet. The wonderful mirical that is our planet burnt to a crisp because of the death grip on there wallets and bank accounts. Its so hard to even attempt processing this situation...

Didn't the You ess ( the greatest producer of greenhouse gasrs per capita) destroy the pipeline allowing Europe to import Russian natural gas thereby making their own gas and resource monopolization of the Middle East and Africa seem an attractive proposition. Didn't this then cause much of Europe to stop green energy transition and fueling the Isreali conflict? But it's not worked out quite the way that U hess thought it would and the bombs etc are accelerating regional climate catastrophes. It's too bad only Brussels and Ireland are commenting. I fear that depopulation is most western countries' favored solution.
Dont worry about depopulation, the fascist western countries are rolling the clock back on civil rights to ensure birth rates dont continue to decline and instead go up, remember that capitalists need ever increasing profits and as such an ever increasing workforce.

the two year its too late deadline
Fantastic work that the Swiss ladies did. We could all do this. Many thanks for this report.❤
It all started with the discovery of oil and gas. Too bad humans learnt how to dig.
By leaders you mean the Ruling Class
But for Wars money is find very fast
We will have to use active means to counteract the heating. Those active measures could be dangerous in new ways.
I dont have to watch this to know the answer. How about stopping the wars and nuclear testing in the worlds oceans. That is no 1 solution.
‘ The Soviet Union’s last nuclear test took place on 24 October 1990; the United Kingdom’s on 26 November 1991 and the United States’ on 23 September 1992. France and China conducted their last tests in January and July 1996 respectively, before signing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. (For the status of signature and ratification of the Treaty today, please click here). France closed and dismantled all its nuclear test sites in the 1990s - the only nuclear weapon State to date that has done so.’ United Nations source.
Other than North Korea and possibly other small actors, testing stopped a long time ago

29-3-2024, Biden’s $7.5 billion investment in EV charging has only produced 7 stations in two years.
After two years, that program has only delivered seven open charging stations with a total of 38 spots where drivers can charge their vehicles, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Highway Administration. (The funding should be enough to build up to 20,000 charging spots or around 5,000 stations, according to analysis from the EV policy analyst group Atlas Public Policy.)

Refreshingly direct and objective comment, thank you.
So where it's cooling do we run our motors.... Just asking a friend
He has not been to Texas lately, hasn’t he. Texas has offset some electric production with windmills and some solar. But they have not reduced fossil fuel consumption or production, not to mention other issues like methane.
Save the world.. ❌
Save ourselves.. 👍
8 years the roof over the toilet was leaking but the owner of the upper apartment refused to reveal that it was the tub plumbing because she had to dig and fix the problem oin her floor, instead she requested I dig a who through my roof to find the leak.... This is what we mean when we say that s..t rolls downhill, oh and when she was cornered to fix it she sold the apartment ... This is what we mean when we say Greek politics, ministers do not get held accountable, even though they can be responsible for thousands, millions of deaths, and the EU cannot do anything to change that? When it comes to justice to its peopl the EU cannot do anything about that, why are we in the EU then for the small time dealers...
As far as I can see til now is that this problem could be solved mostly by world population reduction and control. The other ways are nearly impossible to implement and impossible to prove.
LA CLASE POLITICA NO PUEDE FRENAR EL CALENTAMIENTO GLOBAL PORQUE SE REQUIERE LA PARTICIPACION DE TODA LA HUMANIDAD PARA PROMOVER LA CAPTURA DE CO2 Y SU SECUESTRO EN EL SUBSUELO ADEMAS DE PONER A TODA SU CAPACIDAD LA PRODUCCION DE COMBUSTIBLES SINTETICOS.
Not policies.
Laws.
The Stern Report issued a few years ago was an economist's view on climate change and Deloitte's 2022 Sustainability Report also makes a business case for climate action. It would be great to have the insurance industry state their position on climate change. We all know the evological case for climate action delay, but what's really missing ate the social scientists - what are the socio-cultural, health & social welfare case for climate action (water scarcity, food insecurity, an extended housing crisis as homes are destroyed faster than we can build them, stress on communities who have to move, mental ill-health as we watch our future prosperity unravel, increasing strain on healthcare systems, further stress on social cohesion awa increasing conflict over decreasing resources etc. So far the discussion around climate change has only focussed on extreme weather in Africa so who cares. We need to bring the climate crisis closer to home.

And then running out to buy the latest trend of clothing or new device at any given moment. The lack of answer tells me they may be so.
Certainly doubt they are eking out a subsistence on organic potatoes on the side of a mountain, that's for sure.
Religion is a brain disease.
I'm 67 on Thursday and worked by entire professional life against what's here. And I know the system was set up long before my parents were born, and even my grandparents. Its the government that is ignoring ALL of us.
The rapid rise in temperature has led to further warming and drier areas of the land.
Massive forest fires broke out in the drylands, turning the land black and ash reaching the glaciers, reducing the Earth's reflectivity.
These events were repeated several times, causing fluctuations in the jet stream and increasing the damage.
As an energy conservation activist, this story makes sense to me as the reason why global warming is 20 to 30 years earlier than the simulations of 40 years ago.
More recently, due to Russia's invasion, Europe has suddenly been importing LNG, and has ordered LNG transport ships from China and South Korea, which are cheap but have no track record, and are spewing methane gas into the North Atlantic.
"EVs" have finally been pointed out, but they emit a large amount of CO2 during manufacturing, and even more CO2 is emitted from thermal power generation when they are charged at night when solar power is not available.
What citizens can do now is to use their air conditioner power wisely in the summer.
During the day, solar power supplies the electricity, so use the air conditioner, and at night, like me, use passive cooling to put up with the heat.
This is because even after the sun sets, the outdoor air conditioner units emit a large amount of heat, which prevents the atmosphere from cooling down.
I feel sorry for the children if we don't take some serious action soon.
Parents need to take responsibility.

11:15 can the food supply chain of humans survive coral reef/plankton habitat loss? If so, what is a workable diet for everything else humans eat? Does that take us to GMO and processed foods? And how many people?
Sorry, but we can't go back to what climate we had before.
All we can do, is try to save as many people that we can, as we adapt to a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much hotter Planet. One "much", for each degree the Earth will warm, as it rises back to its more stable regime (where it sits almost 80% of post-oxygen geological time).
Most sincere apologies, for the truth I had to tell you.
Give me a break... Find me one piece of scientific evidence that claims Earth is going to warm 10C in any near term future
Because it'll take that long to control all the People's.... mindsets.
The sad thing is that if we actually manage to make the changes needed and catastrophic effects are mitigated, large portions of the population will see few ill effects and try to use that as evidence that changes never needed to be implemented in the first place "obviously".
It's a shame...It's already too late !!
I guess UN IPCC better put a Coal Baron in the Chairmanship of COP30. I mean the Oil Baron defeated the draw down of Fossil Fuel use and encouraged more use of oil past 2050. So maybe an Coal Baron could reverse the use of high pollution Coal.

UN should file case against Japan and America in International courts, why are they producing and selling autos and vehicles to general public.
Autos and vehicles should be given only to government servants.
All others should use public transport.

"SAVE THE WORLD". 😅😅This world doesn't need saving. We need to create a new world. Nobody can save this world!
23'15: does anyone have scientific evidence that electric vehicles have a positive impact on climate? They only have a mild effect on air quality in cities (still emitting particles from brake systems).
How are they made? With what resources?
Techno-solutionnism is part of the problem. Individual cars are just not sustainable, and the sooner we understand that, the better.
Probably
If the Sahara turns green due to climate warming, and ends the hunger in Africa, people might realize that climate warming might not be a bad thing. This needs to be prevented, and, as the rain falling there right now shows, the time is growing short.
The multiple conflicts around lake Chad says that no one alive will live to see the Sahara greening...
@@entropicpedro what if this tipping point actually tipps soon enough? And millions of people stop believing that climate warming is a bad thing?
The Sahara turning green has nothing to do with the green house effect. It's the result of changing policy. It's one of the hopeful signs though, because that area could sequester a huge amount of carbon.
@@k.h.6991 Sahara turning green is one of the tipping points the climate science is listing but the just stop oil people don’t want to talk about. Archeology says that Sahara was green before, and climatology says that at that time global climate was about one degree warmer than today. Movement of tectonic plates might meddle with that, and means that a repetition of Sahara getting green when global climate gets another degree warmer is not certain, just very likely. The rain falling there right now provides circumstantial evidence, it at least proves that Sahara doesn’t get even drier due to climate warming.
@@k.h.6991 no FR I think I read somewhere it is one of the tipping points...
😅 how did they know
9:05 priorities and flexibility in reprioritizing on the fly is probably a good attribute. No point in spending time finding funding for climate change if Putin is in charge of your country. On the bright side(sarcasm) alcoholism and drug addiction in private is now socially understood.
Price of milk in supermarket depends on climate change. And if environmental costs are taken in it should be way higher than it is today. (Most products should be costing more.)
Climate warming is in many cases the background noise that is there, but not large enough to affect daily life. Until overcharged weather extremes hits you.
Nonsense
@@zeshanbeig24 Yeah, your comment is nonsensical.
Because cows produce so much methane the amount of eaten red meat is reduced. And because cows are eaten at some point of their life that has risen the price of milk. Believe or not, it is climate related issue.
But there are plenty of products that are far more harmful to the nature and climate. And if these costs are counted in, the price should be much higher.
Our current economay does not count almost any harm done to the nature in any product. This means that the whole economical system is based on falsehoods. Our overconsumption day went already and that is one way to see that.
Why is everyone agonising over numbers like 1.5°c, 2°c etc. Climate change we are dead, no climate change we are dead too. So, come on fellow humans, let's have a party - a two year non-stop party. Let's enjoy the rest of our life. Stop worrying about the future. If we are all going then let's go with a bang!
No, if you are going to off yourself don't bring the rest of the world with you, thanks.
I fear it's going to take WWIII and millions of deaths before any real changes are made.... 😢 I'm thankful for all the small improvements that have been made and they give me hope for future generations~ But I sense we're going to face global chaos before we actually all stand together to fix things.... Right now? Too many are fighting against the changes needed.... From what I've learned? Fighting change is to fight Life and that NEVER turns out well.... More often it makes things far worse than they would've been. 😣
How long will it be before the Thunderstorm generators are retrofitted on coal plants until the exhaust is turned into plasma fuel , the carbon dioxide emitted is eliminated and coal needed to create the energy drops by half or more? London has retrofitted the first sub-station and it works as predicted. When will other power companies catch up and explode their profits while solving the carbon dioxide problem? I see no emergency except for too must talking and too little implementing a good solution. Meanwhile test for heat coming from inside the earth. West coast North America has blobs of heat in the ocean which obviously come from below. Fixing that problem requires studying Viktor Schauberger which requires restoring rivers and creeks to natural form and shading them. This cools the water to as low as 4 C which helps cool the coastal waters. In BC the policies builing power lines in pristine coastal forest drains the forest of electrons which would otherwise cool the forests and creeks while forests are sprayed with fire accelerants namely coal fly ash which spraying also dessicates the air about 7%. Now we have fires and fail to blame the actual causes.
14:47 NetZerp means they aren’t making anything better and nothing worse. Just maintaining. That leaves the correction of the mess and small producers/emitters as the scapegoats and citizens responsible for the fix. The government can’t prioritize a plan when half the constituents don’t believe in or profit off climate change technology/products.
Quick... 2years... We are doomed. Absolutely doomed.😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Wonderful! At 72 I am tired of hearing about it
