    Comedian Aparna Nancherla explores how global warming and climate change will directly affect our lives 100 years from now when the average global temperature is projected to increase by 4 degrees Celsius, or 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Nancherla met with Professor of Atmospheric Science at UC Berkeley, Inez Fung, and Chief Data Officer at Western Digital, Janet George to to make predictions about how we’ll live in a 4C World.

How are you suggesting people burned coal for cooling purposes? Energy might be "greener" now but how did we get that wind power? The metals were mined using OIL. They were forged using OIL. They were manufactured using OIL. They were transported using OIL. They were installed using OIL. The transmission lines... same story. The roads... same story. You might have an electric car, but it's existence is only possible because of oil. Most of the stuff in your house is an oil by-product. Your food, clothes, refrigerator, computer, etc.

      We need to put a price on Co2, that is what the left in Australia, 10 years ago, was trying to do. It should have been done 20 years ago and it would have been easier now. The longer we leave it the more abrupt and destructive it will be. When the right got back in they undid everything and took us back to square one.
      One of the first things we will notice is more wars, rearmament. More wars bring more refugees which in turn bring further unrest where the refugees go or as in the case of Australia, are stored. It will start in the poorer countries, such as the middle east, and spread to the others. The danger here is people will be kept busy fighting those wars and creating more Co2 to do anything about the problem of global warming. Imagine the population of the world trying to get into America. Capitalism has caused this with their protection of the bottom line, so that will have to be an early casualty. The alternative is the end of the human race.

    This should be treated like the emergency it is. Governments are far too timid in dealing with climate change. Back during WW2 we didn't just use taxes and subsidies. Governments would mandate factories switch production to wartime production. Civilian tires were rationed to save tires for military purposes. People would be conscripted to fight in the war.
    Why can't we take the same approach to stopping climate change? Not enough construction workers to build solar plants? Conscript them. Given that all the labor involved in transitioning to clean energy is relatively safe it's even milder than military conscription, it's more comparable to jury duty.
    And not enough of a needed resource, make more factories produce them. We could build up the clean energy infrastructure much faster than just prodding the markets. I'm not saying we should abandon capitalism, I'm saying that the potential dangers of climate change make this an exceptional situation and governments should respond accordingly. Once the clean energy infrastructure is fully in place we could go back to a free market in energy.
    Nothing is more important than the survival of our species and that is what is at stake. Planned economics is generally inefficient. But we should risk some short-term economic inefficiency to guarantee our survival.

      So right, and these people don't really have any interest in educating themselves when it comes to anything dealing with science, etc. Yet, they actually beleive anything - for those that support Trump - anything that comes out of his mouth.

    Also +4° means acidification of the ocean, to such an extent that most marine life will go extinct. No more corals, few fishes. The one specy that's expected to thrive is jellyfish.

      I agree with you. However, I think that the video was targeting Americans and since saying "the temperature is rising 2-7 degrees(c)" that means very little to an Americans. If people started saying the temperature will rise ~4-12 degrees (F) when targeting Americans, people will react differently to the information.
