That would be a rather short video, lol. But yeah you right. Historically a warming climate leads to an increase in conflicts. Given the stress on resources something like this would have, especially for fresh water, I imagine there would be some rather serious conflicts.
A "North v South" World War would be possible. With all that desert across the middle of the planet, there would be a massive geographic divide between important countries with almost no buffer states
@Kent Horvath sooooo do you have another theory to explain the complete spike in global temps starting from the industrial revolution and how the trend, albeit slowing, has continued almost continuously since?
Kent Horvath so, you believe that climate change is either not real or isn’t a threat to humans? I understand that people can believe that especially if they never feel the affects of it, but unfortunately there is countless scientific studies proving the prevalence of climate change and global warming. People like to argue that the 1-2 degrees Celsius increase in temperature from the 1800’s could be the cause of the technology giving people in the 21st century the ability to more accurately take temperature readings compared to the 1800’s, but then you can look at studies of the ozone layer diminishing at a significant rate from just the 1970’s where we’ve had the ability to spectrograph the atmosphere and take accurate readings of the O3 levels and see that they are reducing. You can even look towards the ocean levels which never really needed advanced equipment to gather data to see that they have risen at an exponential rate over the past 200 years. What do you think will happen these next 100 years if it continues on this exponential path? Entire cities, islands, even countries could be lost leaving people homeless and it’s your type of ignorance that leads to their lives being ruined. The only people that benefit off the belief that global warming isn’t real is billionaires that made their money through oil and fossil fuels and don’t want to waste the time to repurpose their stocks and finances into other long term business opportunities because they won’t be around much longer to deal with the repercussions.
Something important to keep in mind is that all of those "uninhabitable hell holes" as he called them have a lot of permafrost which means that even once it thaws out the soil is going to be really really bad for growing anything also they will be almost completely treeless
Yeah that's one thing I was thinking. Any soil that was either frozen or covered in glaciers for thousands of years are not going to just magically become suitable for farming overwinter. Geology, and by extension, biology, just doesn't move that fast. All the more reason to protect what we've already got
@@FigureOnAStick yeah. Its all just sand and silt no nutrients or organic matter like good soil has. Would take generations of planting the few plants that can grow in such soil. Or genetically modifying legumes to grow in such soils
Look up "loess," A.A. It's literally meters thick under most permafrost. The Russians did some experiments using loess as topsoil. They grew crops as big and healthy as the crops grown in the central valley, north of San Diego. For that matter, crops can be grown in _water._ Hippies have been growing... umm-m... 'crops' by using just trace minerals and a few other nutrients in hydroponic water tanks, without any soil at all. Topsoil's primary function is as a stable base for plant roots. But it isn't necessary. And your hair isn't on fire, so there's no need to keep running around in circles screaming, "O NOES! No topsoil!!"
@@boogathon woah there, I feel like I offended you somehow. Look, I really didnt mean to hurt your feelings or whatever but if we don't need soil then what's the point of all the extra soil that we'd be getting once the permafrost melts? And very few staple crops can be grown hydroponically and as much as the professors up in Humboldt would like to believe, we can't subsist entirely off weed and hemp. That said I _AM_ an advocate for growing algae hydroponically and incorporating that into our diets and the diets of our livestock more in the coming years because algae literally(not literally) is bae
toó bad that by then, probably Russia will have 1700 millions of people, while Germany will have 120 millions, so... wanna spare some change, I mean lifes? still there will be too many People.
When I'm depressed about the problems of my life I always watch this video to chear myself up and remember that future people are going to be way more screwed than me.
They forgot 1 detail: once the ice melt near the poles, the ground in northern Canada, northern Russia and Antarctica will be mostly bedrock. It will take a long time before agriculture become possible.
Very good point, however one could imagine that future advancements in agricultural technology might speed up the conversion of the ground. Mind you, this scenario of a 4°C increase wouldn't happen overnight so humans might have a few decades to fertilise at least some of this land.
Exactly. You can’t just magically turn all these places into fertile farmland. The pollinators will be extinct and invasive bugs will be plentiful in these conditions. Think of those Alaska mosquitoes 🦟 all the time.
Siberia is already green and kinda fertile ground but too cold on normal reality, so it would be good to go in this scenario. What you said it's true for the rest though, specially Greenland and Antarctica.
Denmark doesnt own Greenland, we're in "The Unity of the realm" where they govern themselves on paper, but they almost completely rely on us for their economy, which gains Denmark a lot of influence. I have a feeling that unless Denmark starts to invest heavily into ressource gathering in Greenland, that other countries will and our unity will slip. Unfortunately I think Denmark is way too small to hold such a vast area full of ressources in the long run

@@TheGuyThatsNotFunny You won't be able to hear much over the infernal buzzing of trillions upon trillions of mosquitoes and biting flies. They are bad now, wait until it warms up.
Im not a climate sceptic or anything. I study geoscience. Claiming that the rainforests near equator will become desserts is not happening. Id you know the global wind system you’d know this is imposaible. It will aleays rain in the ITC-zone no matter how hot. It wil even rain more in the rainforests thanks to the higher temperatures which result in more evapuration in the subtropics leading to more rainfall in the rainforests. Again - not a climate sceptic - just know the truth of the global weather system - some og these desertification claims are simply untrue and misleading.
The problem occurs when forests are cut down for development. Which is being driven by increased consumption in first world countries. Its supply and demand.
That’s interesting. I always assumed if temperatures rose it would be like the humid rainforest type climate of the dinosaurs. I guess all the melting ice goes straight into the sea and doesn’t evaporate into clouds.
Study absolutely everything about the Paleocene Eocene thermo maximum. 55 million years ago. Humans were not generating carbon dioxide emissions because we did not exist at the time. Instead carbon dioxide was emitted by volcanic activity. Between 5 to 10,000 years at 3:00 to 7 trillion tons of carbon dioxide push planet Earth into a carbon dioxide mass extinction. All Wildlife that could migrate North into the Arctic did so to escape the ever scorching heat up planet Earth. The entire Arctic became tropical with the subspecies of the modern day North American alligator, tropical f r o n d s living in the Arctic. The entire Arctic was pretty much tropical with average winter temperatures of 75° Fahrenheit. Humans are releasing carbon dioxide by the burning of Coalition gas add 1 hour times the rate of paleocene eocene thermal maximum
I think he is wrong. It would actually make the Earth even more humid and wetter. There will also be more desert especially in places that have a dry climate but do not classify as true desert like the prairies.
it evaporates into humidity, but the main problem is instability, weather patterns where it's 100+ for 6 months in the summer and -30+ in the 2 months of winter, is something that plants can't survive in. and will cause them to die off.
For those confused, earth will not become a giant dessert if the global temperature rises 4 degrees. However once this happens most permafrost will start to melt releasing tons of methane and co2 in the air. This will see a rise of global temperature up to ten degrees warmer then today, thus why everything will be a dessert.
Even ardent climate change fear mongers don’t predict this kind of temperature change. Computer climate models have missed predictions considerably since their development 30 years ago. Actual temperature rise is 1/3 of the model predictions. This entire production is a complete waste of time.
Global warming leads to the opposite of desertification....means expansion of the tropics and relocation of the temperate zone further north. Desertification happens when the temperature is decreased (like in ice age) when the circle of water is halted
Its cute how people think Americans would just let Canadians keep their independence. Obviously at some point between now and the 4 degrees scenario it would integrate with the US, by force if necessary.
@@TheSauron197 expansion of the tropics would be slow, so most likly most of that land at best would be grassland or savanna in our lifetimes (jungles would probably expand to europe and north america maybe at end of milenium)
Honestly this is too simplistic of an analysis. Your map only takes into account latitudes basically and doesn’t take into account future ocean currents, seasonal wind patterns or anything else like that. Nothing about elevation differences in the swath of lands you characterized as yellow or green!
True. Desert means no rainfall. For example a warmer Atlantic and Mediterranean will give more evaporation and more potential rain. Mountain ranges like the Pyrenees, Alps, Apennines will cause rainfall when saturated air has to go up to pass them. Seasonal patterns will be disrupted impacting agriculture, but not everything will be a complete desert.
US: We shall finally unite! I mean this will all be gradual so the us and Canada could Unite and the us has very strong navy power to protect Canada’s northern passage ensuring Canada and the us would be a world power
C714 X The US wanted Canada to join the union since they the US got independence. Canada joining the union wouldn’t be that unlikely. Our cultures aren’t much different so it wouldn’t be too hard. Also it would just make more sense for the US to admit Canada. Anyway that map isn’t actually accurate. There was a time earth was a lot warmer and studies showed the earth was just entirely covered by Forests. So there probably won’t be large deserts where there are none. The amazon would probably become more of a grassland than a desert. The map is highly simplified and no one really understands how climate works and less predicting a hundred years in the future.
@@croozem You'd think by now they would have figured out ways to permanently shade large areas, to lower the temperatures and reduce evaporation. This would also work to get water vapors from the sea through a funnel-and-pipes system to those shaded areas, where it would condense into mist and/or rain. But they don't want bad enough to solve their heat problem. If the shades were also reflective, that heat would radiate away into space, or it could be focused on a wall and used for solar power, and the excess heat pumped into radiator-towers to have air currents take the excess heat away. This would also allow for large-scale refrigeration, and I mean even city-sized or bigger.
@@baronvonjo1929 Well, considering the alternative is giving up on perfectly usable land, I would say it's a good tradeoff. I mean, if I remember correctly, arabs import most of their food. So if something happened which made them unable to import that food (like war, for example, or economic sanctions, or a trade ban caused by a second more dangerous coronaplague wave, or even just natural disasters causing the exporting countries to not have enough food to export), then they would be screwed. Plus that turning the desert areas into farmland would severely increase the living conditions of the people there and the GDP of every nation in the world (thanks to trade). At the very least, it would allow the people who already own land and have infrastructure in areas which recently turned into desert, to claim back farmland from the desert and increase the land value of the land they own. And depending on how much they are willing to pay and the conditions in the area at that time, it would be significantly cheaper than moving somewhere else by selling their land before making it productive again. And don't worry about FBI, it probably already knows my location but I'm not a threat to them. The Almighty AI is almighty indeed.

This is absolute bullshit. The world is getting greener than ever with global warming because the rising CO2 level increase plants productivity. I don't know why people continue to make apocalyptic predictions about the climate from their ass when they have consistently been wrong in 40 years.
@@uwu_senpaioh realy? Why dont you go tell that global warming is BS to the people that have had to relocate because the island they lived in was submerged. Why don't you tell that to Brazil and Australia who are dealing with fires bigger than anything in recorded history. Hell, go say that to the MILLIONS of scientist that are presenting accurate and detailed evidence about the climate, or in other words, EVIDENCE. And no, RUclips videos or your bitching on the internet while hiding in your mother's basement doesn't count as evidence
You know, I thought deserts were associated with dryer climates, and usually that only happens when the Earth gets colder. Because all the moisture is trapped in the poles. So I'm pretty sure when the world gets hotter, the climate would technically get wetter. I'm just basing this one what I know about the history of Earth's climate. Dunno whether cities existing may change that.
This is bullshit, absolute bullshit, you would actually see *less* desert and a surge of tropical climate (and if we don't prevent it, tropical rainforests would start growing at ... unusual lattitudes like they did during the PETM when the temperature was +7°C higher.) Not saying this wouldn't be terrible. Most of the world would be subject to tropical diseases like Malaria and massive flooding would happen. But heat doesn't make desert... Not at all, as long as there is humidity you can have plant life. And the humidity doesn't just disappear because the climate warms up.
The entire video is based on the Fact that the Sea level never raises at all. But the entire Ice melts in Himalayan Range+ Canada+ Siberia+ Ice Land+ Artic+ Antarctica will majorly affect sea level and hence completely submerging the islands or UK, New Zealand most of Costal Australia and all the East Asian Islands. The habitable land would reduce by a lot.
Considering how seasons work near the poles, I wouldn't be surprised if the "farmable zones" translates to extremely hot and dry summers and extremely cold winters, making farming somewhat hard.
From Canada: where we are current weather and in the last 20 years alone we can grow much higher yielding crop and it's scary... 30C summer -30 to -40 winters here and it's sad to see that we may loose our cold
20-30°C in summers is not extremely hot, just warm-hot. But I guess it’s considered extremely hot if they are used to -20°C winters. Kinda unfair how the hottest places’ winters never go below 20°C, yet the coldest places’ summers can go over 20°C. There’s a bias for warmer weather in the world, cold countries can experience hot but hot countries never experience cold.
Considering how the melting ice will bring more fresh water into the oceans, It's possible that the Gulf Stream will cease to exist which will make winters in Europe as cold as northern Siberia.
That map is highly inaccurate there are many more variables like a risen sea level and the increase temperatures causing more regions to have monsoon seasons really making the world more green.
And plants eating carbon dioxide and greening the Earth...until the increased amount of plants overeat the co2 and drop the planet into an ice age instead
@@frogstereighteeng5499 the first part is true though. Carbon dioxide levels were much higher during the age of the dinosaurs, and the plant life was bigger than anything we have today. Biodiversity will go up as time goes on.
I feel this is far from what would happen, like i read somewhere that with temp increases Africa would receive heavier monsoon season due to the evaporation and become it's greener self again, brazil would be mostly underwater due to the amazon basin flooding from the ice melts and the rising sea level, and I don't understand how the desert parts of Western Australia turn green while the more southern green part dries up, and u offer no explanation why either, this map just feels like someone painted the mountains brown made everything else yellow then just added green bits in randomly except for a couple of places he was sure would still be/become green, i understand the map was done by someone else, but couldn't you see the holes in this one?
Buy land and buy a brick everyday. But the time the climate refugees start knockin you’ll have plenty of bricks to build a giant wall around your property to keep the zomboys out
Can somebody who read the book explain to me, why the author says most of the world will become desert, when for example Eocene era was much hotter but still humid. Just wondering. I always assumed that the rising sea levels would be the much bigger problem.
He isn't a trustworthy source at all. That author is an economist, not a climatologist. This video seems to be looking for an extreme outcome of 4 degrees of warming, not a likely one. Temperatures increasing tends to actually make deserts smaller, unlike some people think, as the jungles/rainforests grow. Really, the concern with climate change is that animals and plants won't be able to adapt fast enough, not that most of the Earth will become an inhospitable desert.
This video is bullshit. The droughts will be more extreme but more heat means more evaporation which probably means that the dry continental zones will be much wetter.
I remember skimming through a particular study that claimed that fertile areas will expand due to humidity, however due to higher carbon levels in the air average nutrient yield per same amount of food will be somewhat lower so we will probably need to expand the agricultural areas assuming that population stays the same
Why It? The deserts are growing rn by the space of entire Bavaria each year. Important to note: Desert means place without water, not place with sand. In around 10 years 75% of entire Spain will be desert....

Greenlands average temperature is - 17 c and antarcticas is - 10 on coasts and - 60 in inland, im curious to hear how they can become habitable with 4 c warming.
I had the same question and apparantly different lands have different response to warming (everyone warms unequally). This is mosly becuase of wind patterns, humidity (trapped in region or casuing hurricanes), and releasing certain trapped gasses, thus all having an expotential warming affect in some regions.
4C as a _global_ _aggregate_ . The terminology of stating only the global aggregate increase in temperature really doesn't describe how our weather will actually change, the amount of energy that our weather systems will gain, the change of wind patterns, ocean currents etc... Where I live, wind from inland frequently increases the temperature here on the coast by quite a lot. Typically, that doesn't happen very often. With a change in wind patterns and ocean currents however it could be the standard. We've recently had an extended La Nina that filled our entire year with an unprecedented amount of rain (raining nearly every day for the full year).
Global average temperature is calculated by combining global sea surface temperature and air temperature over land. It takes way more energy to heat up water than air. So we must remember that the Earth's surface is 71% water. In short, the same amount of energy required to warm all the sea water by 4°C, would fry the land due to direct contact with air. But idk. That's how I understand it.
Which would reduce power consumption and decrease emissions. Funny if that works out. Still sad that greedy companies today are going to kill billions.

There are MANY faults in this video, for example, Greenland is a rocky archipelago under the ice. Also you can't put farms in Norway because of the mountains.
Most of these youtube channels are pro scandinavia. Noticed how they put them as super powers. But in such an event scandinavia would be conquered by the countries who will out power them. Sadly most of these media is paid by scandinavia to feed their ego.
Actually, a lot of the land is unarable not necessarily because of the mountains but because of the weather. Finnmark is relatively flat but they get -20° in the winter so it would become more arable under the conditions he mentioned. Good point though
@@ia8018 In which world you are living we are now having enough technology to use renewable energy we can not do the same mistake again because of which the temperature is rising so rapidly.
My reaction to the talk about Alaska containing untapped resources like oil that we could use was "We should NOT do that" if our world gets here, we need to not be using fossil fuels or we will just repeat the process of warming. I don't believe that our planet warming will stop at leaving the poles habitable and I wouldn't want to live on a desert planet. The indigenous people in the America's spent an untold amount of time cultivating the land and keeping it basically a paradise. It would be heartbreaking to see this possibility come about because of our actions, we definitely need to reverse course quickly. Our leaders aren't moving fast enough, we need to stop repeating the past mistakes of colonization and resource exploitation. Kurzgesagt puts things pretty well.
I would like to point out though that while what he is saying about the equatorial areas becoming vast infernos is true, the assumption that the polar regions would simply become temperate forest climates or some equivalent isn't true. These area are and would be uninhabitable for more than just "It real cold". Siberia especially eastern Siberia has some of the lowest rainfall records in the world resulting in Siberia being less like the great plains or the Russian steppe, and more like the Canadian Shield is today, a dry, desolate wasteland that just so happens to be temperate, due mainly to the prevailing westerlies pushing all the Pacific moisture East towards Alaska and not over Siberia. On the other hand most of North America would fair much better than today. Why? Thank the ice age. When the glaciers came down they removed all the topsoil in that area leaving only bare rock, which is not good for developing civilization. It would take thousands of years of erosion by both plants and rainfall to pulverize the surface rock into usable soil. Greenland would suffer the same problem. Only the parts of Russia West of the Ural mountains and Scandinavia would truly fit this fertile land of a superpower idea. Not trying to say your wrong, the base assumptions are right but geography is a lot more complex and my main point is that no one would really gain anything out of climate change in any way. That not even considering the intermediate political situation...
But...I just might be an idiot...but if Siberia has one of the lowest amounts of rainfall in the world...how do they have all that snow...I mean... isn't snow also rainfall?
What makes this video terrifying is not that 75% of the world is desert. It’s that the narrator just happily goes on talking about drilling for oil and developing vast uninhabited Forrest, pretty much sealing our planet’s doom. Oh, and btw, no government will survive this intact. With so many people migrating, it would change those countries tremendously. And agriculture in a 6 months darkness isn’t really gonna work out well. Look on the bright side though. Most likely, the co2 emissions would decrease finally , because most people would be dead.
Canada: Guys, I can explain Australia: You actually get suitable land? Most of my land is becoming desert China: Well my land is entirely becoming desert The Netherlands: You guys are getting land?
@AdJasonT you know, flevoland, the dried province of the Netherlands. They just have to do that again and build even bigger sea walls. As currently 50% of the Netherlands is already under sea level. So it’s definitely possible to repair.
@Felix: During the last glacial maximum it was 5 degrees centigrade cooler, so we would be close to these conditions. The desertification depicted in the warming climate model is almost certainly wrong. The surface of the earth is 70 percent ocean and there would be much more moisture in the air with higher temperatures.
Canada, Northern Europe and Eastern Europe: Guys, we can explain. Southern Europe, USA and East Asia: You guys actually benefited from climate change?!

This is extremely simplistic. I haveca lot of doubts about the modeling. The only thing they seem to have done is add 4C to temperature everywhere and raise sea level. In reality the far north of the world will not become a breadbasket. Recently glaciated land has no soil. The whole Canadian shield, most of siberia, alaska, and all of alaska is straight bedrock.
Greenland is not that big. It's slightly larger than Colombia and Venezuela combined. The thing is, Colombia and Venezuela are near the Equator and therefore largely unaffected by the projection used on maps, but which greatly exaggerates the size of Russia, Scandinavia, Canada and (to a lesser extent) the US.
I facepalmed at that too. Are the future generations who can not longer live in their home land because of the effects of climate change just going to go "oh well, better get this oil out of the ground so we can burn it!"
I will be excited when the world realizes that all this new land is unsuitable for for agriculture due to there being no topsoil and will destroy themselves from famine, water wars etc.. I'll get some good jacking off sessions once the real fun starts and I can watch nations drop nukes on one another and see all the misery unfold.
I love how naïve you children are. You actually believe you can prevent the climate from changing lol. The absolute most that we could accomplish as a species is to slow it down by maybe a decade or so. It will happen no matter what.
This is just disaster porn, based on a crude sketch made in MS paint. The earth was warmer with no ice caps for millennia, supporting energy intensive organisms such as the dinosaurs; back then, tree biomass and forested surface was much larger than today.
Everything was also suited and adapted to live through that life especially since such changes didn’t happen in less than two decades. There has been a large spike in global emissions and global temperature changes since the Industrial Revolution. Animals can’t have complete overhauls in the span of less than 100 years since we’re expecting a 1.5 degree Celsius increase by 2050.

@@TowerGuy Not too mention that tundra and former rain forest have very poor soils, which means all that alleged ample crop-growing land in Canada, Russia, and Brazil will NOT be able to grow more than a modest increase in crops.

I'm not so sure about those deserts and their extents. If anything, we might see some regions become more humid since the increased climatic temperatures will not only affect the landmasses, but also the oceans. A warmer climate leads to more evaporation and thus more water vapor meaning more storms and drastically increased rainfall with flooding from the storms and melted polar regions. These storms will also very likely be far more devastating due to the higher temperatures.

This is all assuming the desertifying countries just accept their fates and don’t push to gain territory up north. Ex: China invading Russia and US pushing for Canadian land. Siberia is hard to invade BECAUSE it’s cold and sparse. As soon as it becomes warm, it also turns into a largely flat, and sparse area ripe for conflict.
Which system of measurement you use doesn’t really matter in this case. When scientists talk about an increase of a few degrees, they’re referring to the global average temperature increasing.
@@novacalibur3520 Yes it's definitely a global average, but it still matters what system of measurement you're using. If it were 4°F as a global average increase, that certainly wouldn't have no impact but it would roughly equal 2°C so rather within the limit set by the Paris Agreement. Quite different from the 4°C that form the premise of the video.
just because the cold places got warm, dosent mean there will be alot of infrastructure or people up north. lots of soil up north is way too rocky to grow anything in, and its already swampy in the summer without the permafrost melting. if it melted it would become a sticky muddy mess of a place. everything on permafrost has to be built on struts, making engineering everything way harder.

Not climate change.
Something important to keep in mind is that all of those "uninhabitable hell holes" as he called them have a lot of permafrost which means that even once it thaws out the soil is going to be really really bad for growing anything also they will be almost completely treeless
Yeah that's one thing I was thinking. Any soil that was either frozen or covered in glaciers for thousands of years are not going to just magically become suitable for farming overwinter. Geology, and by extension, biology, just doesn't move that fast. All the more reason to protect what we've already got
@@FigureOnAStick yeah. Its all just sand and silt no nutrients or organic matter like good soil has. Would take generations of planting the few plants that can grow in such soil. Or genetically modifying legumes to grow in such soils
Or we spread some fertilizer.
Look up "loess," A.A. It's literally meters thick under most permafrost.
The Russians did some experiments using loess as topsoil. They grew crops as big and healthy as the crops grown in the central valley, north of San Diego.
For that matter, crops can be grown in _water._ Hippies have been growing... umm-m... 'crops' by using just trace minerals and a few other nutrients in hydroponic water tanks, without any soil at all.
Topsoil's primary function is as a stable base for plant roots. But it isn't necessary. And your hair isn't on fire, so there's no need to keep running around in circles screaming, "O NOES! No topsoil!!"
@@boogathon woah there, I feel like I offended you somehow. Look, I really didnt mean to hurt your feelings or whatever but if we don't need soil then what's the point of all the extra soil that we'd be getting once the permafrost melts?

Im not a climate sceptic or anything. I study geoscience. Claiming that the rainforests near equator will become desserts is not happening. Id you know the global wind system you’d know this is imposaible. It will aleays rain in the ITC-zone no matter how hot. It wil even rain more in the rainforests thanks to the higher temperatures which result in more evapuration in the subtropics leading to more rainfall in the rainforests. Again - not a climate sceptic - just know the truth of the global weather system - some og these desertification claims are simply untrue and misleading.

I think u r right
The problem occurs when forests are cut down for development. Which is being driven by increased consumption in first world countries. Its supply and demand.
That’s interesting. I always assumed if temperatures rose it would be like the humid rainforest type climate of the dinosaurs. I guess all the melting ice goes straight into the sea and doesn’t evaporate into clouds.
Study absolutely everything about the Paleocene Eocene thermo maximum. 55 million years ago. Humans were not generating carbon dioxide emissions because we did not exist at the time. Instead carbon dioxide was emitted by volcanic activity. Between 5 to 10,000 years at 3:00 to 7 trillion tons of carbon dioxide push planet Earth into a carbon dioxide mass extinction. All Wildlife that could migrate North into the Arctic did so to escape the ever scorching heat up planet Earth. The entire Arctic became tropical with the subspecies of the modern day North American alligator, tropical f r o n d s living in the Arctic. The entire Arctic was pretty much tropical with average winter temperatures of 75° Fahrenheit. Humans are releasing carbon dioxide by the burning of Coalition gas add 1 hour times the rate of paleocene eocene thermal maximum
I think he is wrong. It would actually make the Earth even more humid and wetter. There will also be more desert especially in places that have a dry climate but do not classify as true desert like the prairies.

it evaporates into humidity, but the main problem is instability, weather patterns where it's 100+ for 6 months in the summer and -30+ in the 2 months of winter, is something that plants can't survive in. and will cause them to die off.

Honestly this is too simplistic of an analysis. Your map only takes into account latitudes basically and doesn’t take into account future ocean currents, seasonal wind patterns or anything else like that. Nothing about elevation differences in the swath of lands you characterized as yellow or green!
True. Desert means no rainfall. For example a warmer Atlantic and Mediterranean will give more evaporation and more potential rain. Mountain ranges like the Pyrenees, Alps, Apennines will cause rainfall when saturated air has to go up to pass them. Seasonal patterns will be disrupted impacting agriculture, but not everything will be a complete desert.
Let's not act like the United States won't suddenly decide to bring "democracy" to Canada in this scenario.
US: We shall finally unite! I mean this will all be gradual so the us and Canada could Unite and the us has very strong navy power to protect Canada’s northern passage ensuring Canada and the us would be a world power
C714 X The US wanted Canada to join the union since they the US got independence. Canada joining the union wouldn’t be that unlikely. Our cultures aren’t much different so it wouldn’t be too hard. Also it would just make more sense for the US to admit Canada. Anyway that map isn’t actually accurate. There was a time earth was a lot warmer and studies showed the earth was just entirely covered by Forests. So there probably won’t be large deserts where there are none. The amazon would probably become more of a grassland than a desert. The map is highly simplified and no one really understands how climate works and less predicting a hundred years in the future.

But they don't want bad enough to solve their heat problem. If the shades were also reflective, that heat would radiate away into space, or it could be focused on a wall and used for solar power, and the excess heat pumped into radiator-towers to have air currents take the excess heat away.

Plus that turning the desert areas into farmland would severely increase the living conditions of the people there and the GDP of every nation in the world (thanks to trade). At the very least, it would allow the people who already own land and have infrastructure in areas which recently turned into desert, to claim back farmland from the desert and increase the land value of the land they own. And depending on how much they are willing to pay and the conditions in the area at that time, it would be significantly cheaper than moving somewhere else by selling their land before making it productive again.

You know, I thought deserts were associated with dryer climates, and usually that only happens when the Earth gets colder. Because all the moisture is trapped in the poles.
So I'm pretty sure when the world gets hotter, the climate would technically get wetter. I'm just basing this one what I know about the history of Earth's climate.
Dunno whether cities existing may change that.
This is bullshit, absolute bullshit, you would actually see *less* desert and a surge of tropical climate (and if we don't prevent it, tropical rainforests would start growing at ... unusual lattitudes like they did during the PETM when the temperature was +7°C higher.)
Not saying this wouldn't be terrible. Most of the world would be subject to tropical diseases like Malaria and massive flooding would happen.
But heat doesn't make desert... Not at all, as long as there is humidity you can have plant life. And the humidity doesn't just disappear because the climate warms up.
The entire video is based on the Fact that the Sea level never raises at all. But the entire Ice melts in Himalayan Range+ Canada+ Siberia+ Ice Land+ Artic+ Antarctica will majorly affect sea level and hence completely submerging the islands or UK, New Zealand most of Costal Australia and all the East Asian Islands. The habitable land would reduce by a lot.
Considering how seasons work near the poles, I wouldn't be surprised if the "farmable zones" translates to extremely hot and dry summers and extremely cold winters, making farming somewhat hard.
Yeah its already like that, 20-30°c summers and around -30°c winters
(I live in central sweden for reference)
From Canada: where we are current weather and in the last 20 years alone we can grow much higher yielding crop and it's scary... 30C summer -30 to -40 winters here and it's sad to see that we may loose our cold
20-30°C in summers is not extremely hot, just warm-hot. But I guess it’s considered extremely hot if they are used to -20°C winters.
Kinda unfair how the hottest places’ winters never go below 20°C, yet the coldest places’ summers can go over 20°C. There’s a bias for warmer weather in the world, cold countries can experience hot but hot countries never experience cold.
Rain
Considering how the melting ice will bring more fresh water into the oceans, It's possible that the Gulf Stream will cease to exist which will make winters in Europe as cold as northern Siberia.

I always assumed that the rising sea levels would be the much bigger problem.
He isn't a trustworthy source at all. That author is an economist, not a climatologist. This video seems to be looking for an extreme outcome of 4 degrees of warming, not a likely one. Temperatures increasing tends to actually make deserts smaller, unlike some people think, as the jungles/rainforests grow. Really, the concern with climate change is that animals and plants won't be able to adapt fast enough, not that most of the Earth will become an inhospitable desert.
This video is bullshit. The droughts will be more extreme but more heat means more evaporation which probably means that the dry continental zones will be much wetter.
I remember skimming through a particular study that claimed that fertile areas will expand due to humidity, however due to higher carbon levels in the air average nutrient yield per same amount of food will be somewhat lower so we will probably need to expand the agricultural areas assuming that population stays the same

So greenland would finally become... Greenland.
1\3 %
Greenlands average temperature is - 17 c and antarcticas is - 10 on coasts and - 60 in inland, im curious to hear how they can become habitable with 4 c warming.
I had the same question and apparantly different lands have different response to warming (everyone warms unequally). This is mosly becuase of wind patterns, humidity (trapped in region or casuing hurricanes), and releasing certain trapped gasses, thus all having an expotential warming affect in some regions.
4C as a _global_ _aggregate_ . The terminology of stating only the global aggregate increase in temperature really doesn't describe how our weather will actually change, the amount of energy that our weather systems will gain, the change of wind patterns, ocean currents etc... Where I live, wind from inland frequently increases the temperature here on the coast by quite a lot. Typically, that doesn't happen very often. With a change in wind patterns and ocean currents however it could be the standard. We've recently had an extended La Nina that filled our entire year with an unprecedented amount of rain (raining nearly every day for the full year).
Global average temperature is calculated by combining global sea surface temperature and air temperature over land. It takes way more energy to heat up water than air. So we must remember that the Earth's surface is 71% water. In short, the same amount of energy required to warm all the sea water by 4°C, would fry the land due to direct contact with air. But idk. That's how I understand it.

My reaction to the talk about Alaska containing untapped resources like oil that we could use was "We should NOT do that" if our world gets here, we need to not be using fossil fuels or we will just repeat the process of warming. I don't believe that our planet warming will stop at leaving the poles habitable and I wouldn't want to live on a desert planet. The indigenous people in the America's spent an untold amount of time cultivating the land and keeping it basically a paradise. It would be heartbreaking to see this possibility come about because of our actions, we definitely need to reverse course quickly. Our leaders aren't moving fast enough, we need to stop repeating the past mistakes of colonization and resource exploitation. Kurzgesagt puts things pretty well.

I would like to point out though that while what he is saying about the equatorial areas becoming vast infernos is true, the assumption that the polar regions would simply become temperate forest climates or some equivalent isn't true. These area are and would be uninhabitable for more than just "It real cold". Siberia especially eastern Siberia has some of the lowest rainfall records in the world resulting in Siberia being less like the great plains or the Russian steppe, and more like the Canadian Shield is today, a dry, desolate wasteland that just so happens to be temperate, due mainly to the prevailing westerlies pushing all the Pacific moisture East towards Alaska and not over Siberia. On the other hand most of North America would fair much better than today. Why? Thank the ice age. When the glaciers came down they removed all the topsoil in that area leaving only bare rock, which is not good for developing civilization. It would take thousands of years of erosion by both plants and rainfall to pulverize the surface rock into usable soil. Greenland would suffer the same problem. Only the parts of Russia West of the Ural mountains and Scandinavia would truly fit this fertile land of a superpower idea. Not trying to say your wrong, the base assumptions are right but geography is a lot more complex and my main point is that no one would really gain anything out of climate change in any way. That not even considering the intermediate political situation...

I think siberia has the lowest amounts of rainfall because its so cold there that it doesnt rain, it snows
But...I just might be an idiot...but if Siberia has one of the lowest amounts of rainfall in the world...how do they have all that snow...I mean... isn't snow also rainfall?

What makes this video terrifying is not that 75% of the world is desert. It’s that the narrator just happily goes on talking about drilling for oil and developing vast uninhabited Forrest, pretty much sealing our planet’s doom. Oh, and btw, no government will survive this intact. With so many people migrating, it would change those countries tremendously. And agriculture in a 6 months darkness isn’t really gonna work out well. Look on the bright side though. Most likely, the co2 emissions would decrease finally , because most people would be dead.

This is just disaster porn, based on a crude sketch made in MS paint. The earth was warmer with no ice caps for millennia, supporting energy intensive organisms such as the dinosaurs; back then, tree biomass and forested surface was much larger than today.
Everything was also suited and adapted to live through that life especially since such changes didn’t happen in less than two decades. There has been a large spike in global emissions and global temperature changes since the Industrial Revolution.

I'm not so sure about those deserts and their extents. If anything, we might see some regions become more humid since the increased climatic temperatures will not only affect the landmasses, but also the oceans. A warmer climate leads to more evaporation and thus more water vapor meaning more storms and drastically increased rainfall with flooding from the storms and melted polar regions. These storms will also very likely be far more devastating due to the higher temperatures.
Yeah but it's the same thing, those same places if they aren't deserts, will be complete wet-bulbs, and hence, absolutely uninhabitable.

This is all assuming the desertifying countries just accept their fates and don’t push to gain territory up north. Ex: China invading Russia and US pushing for Canadian land. Siberia is hard to invade BECAUSE it’s cold and sparse. As soon as it becomes warm, it also turns into a largely flat, and sparse area ripe for conflict.
Any declaration of war against Russia by country that has WMD means it will be nuclear war. Its in their protocol/doctrine.
Since when was Siberia a "largely flat" area? I mean do the mountains just melt away?

Which system of measurement you use doesn’t really matter in this case. When scientists talk about an increase of a few degrees, they’re referring to the global average temperature increasing.
@@novacalibur3520 Yes it's definitely a global average, but it still matters what system of measurement you're using.

just because the cold places got warm, dosent mean there will be alot of infrastructure or people up north. lots of soil up north is way too rocky to grow anything in, and its already swampy in the summer without the permafrost melting. if it melted it would become a sticky muddy mess of a place. everything on permafrost has to be built on struts, making engineering everything way harder.
