unexpectedly due to the massive heat wave, the numbers are so horrible and the prediction were so ahead by 30 years. a lot can still change within that timeframe 💀
I feel like one massive issue that is regularly overlooked is mass climate migration. Huge densely populated parts of Africa and Asia just won’t be habitable anymore, resulting in a mass migration probably toward Europe, North America and south-east Asia
Yeah. Ironically the same people stalling action on climate change policy are the ones vehemently against refugees. There are 162 million people in Bangladesh, it will be underwater soon.
I'm from Athens, Greece. I was born in 1994 and I remember back then everyone used to praise the Athenian climate. It was warm but not very hot in summer and we had mild winters. Since 2018 it has snowed more than 5 times in Athens which is extremely rare and the summers are absolutely unbearable. We don't have fall anymore. It goes from hot summer to freezing cold weather. It also rarely rains but when it rains everything floods. It's just not the same anymore.
So you remember 94, the year you were born? I don't remember anything from the year I was born. Aside from the fact that all my memories as a child are no evidence of anything. THere was a massive drought between 76 and 77 in the UK and I have no memory of it whatsover, I was 10/11 the only thing I do remember is the day it rained. I vaguely remember incredibly mild winters. Going cycling on christmas day without fear of any kind of extreme weather event. While in through the 90s in the UK I very well remember snow and ice and very cold winters, even news of people freezing to death on their doorsteps because they were not prepared for cold winters. None of my memories form any kind of evidence of any trend in weather. You've been gaslighted. Global temperatures have been falling for the last 7 years. I now live in Uruguay and we've just come out of a long and very cold winter by local standards, wearing winter clothes and winter bedding into november when it should be the start of summer. And so what if it is not the same. The sun is a very powerful ball of fire whose output changes constantly. You think we can control for that massive furnace? I hope you enjoy your chains.
I remember my grrk vacacions back in 1991 in athems. I´m from Madrid, (dry hot climate back then). Athens in August in 1991 was HELL ON EARTH. Don´t know hoy it is now. But it was daefinitely very vary warm there. Wouldn´t have praised it at all.
@@TheCompleteGuitarist I agree. So far the UN IPCC haven´t been right one single time. It is very interesting to analyze the fact that they tell Europe that Africa will be inhabitable according to the UN. We in Europe are causinf this, allthough Europes Co2 emisions are less than the worlds 10%... This message clearly has an objective.
Naming the issue of having to reinvent the 'winter mountain sports' as one of the issues in this video misses the point of the crisis that we are in. We wont be worrying about not being able to go skiing when we laterally cant grow food even in places like southern Europe....
The temperature increase during winters in the northern regions of Europe is already happening. 10-15 years back, I remember winters in the Netherlands filled with ice skating, snowball fights, and sleighing for weeks or months on end. We haven't had such winters anymore for the last 5-10 years, having only occasional snowfall which melts away almost immediately or frozen waters for a couple of days.
difference in Serbia is crazy, i m from central part of Serbia, and in 2004-2008 i remember playing in snow from december up to march that is 4 months of snow, in the last 5y we could see only 5-10days of snowing and snow almost never stayed longer then a day or couple of days, the difference is so notable that it is crazy how fast it changed and how little people actually questioned that change
I'm 31 years old from Hungary, I remember much colder winters in the late 90's. - 10C and below was average in January. In the last 15-20 years, winter has started to simply disappear. I don't remember when we saw a white Christmas.
Same in Budapest. I played so much in the snow when I was kid. My kids now barely see any snow nowadays and yes it melts quickly. I am living in the exact same place as when I was kid
Even today, 30% of Germany's forests are dying bc we've had record droughts for 3 consecutive years. Not to speak of the associated crop failures. And snow? Doesn't exist in winters, anymore. But then you'll have sudden hailstorms in April. Yet still people deny climate change. It's ridiculous.
Can confirm. I live in Bavaria, when I was a little kid, I remember going ice skating with all my friends for weeks on end. Nowadays, theres not even snow anymore for months, and then suddenly, all hell freezes over for one evening / night making even roads covered by a thick sheet of ice thick enough to ice skate on them. Driving impossible
I dont necessarly think the waetver in my hometown is getting so much hotter (but definetly a little bit hotter for sure) but the weather we do have is just soooo much more extreme. Its nor just snow and ice, it even doesnt rain for weeks and then it all comes down in a single day like a flood
Same shit happening in Poland, we haven't seen regular snowy winters since 2015/14. The worst part is that in Poland we gonna have lack of underground water supplies of this continues, in a decade or two.
Same in northern Italy. There was a massive storm in 2018, named Vaia. It caused more than 1.8 billion euros in damage in the Veneto region alone. The winds reached a speed of more than 200 km/h. The storm was so strong it decimated the alpine forests, uprooting 14 million trees - I think they just finished cleaning up the mess of that storm... Summer temperatures are sky high, too. In the 1990s max summer temps hovered around 27°C to 32°C max. Now we get heatwaves every summer, they last for days and push temps above 32°C very easily... We also get violent hailstorms and rain is more violent, too - the media have coined a new phrase, "Bomb of water" (bomba d'acqua) to describe these new phenomena that we're witnessing.
I have personally noticed one such change in my country. In Romania, fig trees used to be almost unheard of - except for the S-E and S-W regions. My grandfather was Greek and he was the only person in his village (S-E Romania) to have such a tree in his yard (I'm talking about the '60s and '70s). However, my grandmother had to permanently cover it in wintertime, in order to protect it from frost. Although it survived the cold seasons, it grew only to the shrub level and never became a tree in the true sense of the word. Even the figs produced were small, green and unable to ripen in Romania's climate BACK THEN. Nowadays, the winters in my region have become so mild (no snowfall for nearly a decade now) and the summers so dry (rainfall in Romania used to have maxima in summers) that the fig trees can actually grow and reach maturity, just like in the Mediterranean region. There are now entire plantations of fig trees in my region! As a result, I have bought some figs from my city market this autumn and they were EXACTLY the same as the figs that can be found in e.g. Greece, where I had lived for two years. Without knowing of the newly established plantations, I would have suspected the figs to have been imported from Greece or Italy!
In Poland 15-20 years ago the winters were harsh, and we had lots of snow, usually from November till April. Now it's not as cold, and it seems my hometown in Poland only gets snow in January-March period. I see the climate change with my own eyes judging how seasons change in my country.
In the UK , 20 years ago it was scorching all summer and snowed in December. In 2023, it’s raining and windy in June and July, and it snows in December through to March. So I’m seeing the opposite with my eyes
@@MichaelJ44 Yeah! Climate change doesn't mean that the whole planet will only get progressively warmer, but rather that climate will change drastically, and the weather will be harsher and more unpredictable. Some regions will get much warmer, but not all of them will became tropical. :)
Dont worry be happy, look at the changes predicted for 2022 in 1970s, almost none of then are right. Shit didnt hit the fan but the powers that be moved the shit close enough to stink up the place and make us pay more money for the problems they caused.

@@elingrome5853 Thank god a free thinker is here. Nice to meet you. Exactly correct, cold kills more people AND ANIMALS by far than warming, not to mention how hard it is to grow food where it's freezing cold.

As a farmer in Ireland, it thankfully appears that we won’t have as strong climate change effects as other European countries so we’ll have to produce more food for Europe. Currently, Ireland can produce food for 9 times our population (5 million). We’re currently putting big funds towards sustainable agriculture research so we can produce more but more efficiently. We got this💪🏻🌱☘️
It’s still creeping up in Ireland. 33 degrees in Phoenix Park last month was awful. Still have my window open all night and we’re just not equipped for it.
I'm from the Netherlands and was born in the early 80's. I can still remember those years we had winters with regular frost and snow, this changed enormously in the last 20 years with less and less frost. In recent years, climate change seems to been accelerating with the first 40 degrees in the Netherlands 3 years ago, and the last winters have also been almost without frost. Next week we will have to deal with another record breaking heatwave here again and the still fresh heat record will probably be broken again with temperatures up to 43 degrees! Unprecedented and terrifying.
Same here! Born in 92 in London. I used to have snow days! Can’t remember the last to,e it snowed. And I certainly never recalled heat over 30 degrees, yet today it hits 40. I do not understand climate naysayers. They must be totally blind
You know there is one ‘slightly’ more troubling scenario for Europe's future climate - and that’s the looming prospect of an AMOC disruption. Remember, this tipping point doesn’t always have to be strictly met at say +3 degrees of warming. It could be closer than ever, because the other tipping points surrounding the North Atlantic (Greenland ice melt) can be reached much earlier. This is so because tipping points can trigger each other by unstable interactions. If it happens, Britain and Scandinavia will become stormier and snowier, Central Europe would have extremes hot and cold too, and suppose Southern Europe would get wet and dry cycles.
I study anthropocene climate change and paleoclimatology. Yes if the Atlantic murielle overturning circulation was to significantly slow down, it would put Europe into a very very bad cycle of very bad Winters. It would cause Florida and the southeast United States into a sauna like condition killing probably thousands of people during the heat waves
@@kimballspeakthreetheater3318 no it does not shutting down the amoc will actually cause wicked cold temperatures in Europe during the winter months and substantially increase the intensity and strength of hurricanes in the summer months in the South Atlantic. Is predicted that hurricane strength to reach category 6 and category 7 that will only accelerate Mass migration of climate migrants North
@@kimballspeakthreetheater3318 Well, I dunno about the whole Earth dropping into a freeze... It would certainly cool Europe and make it stormier year round. As for the rest of the world I can't say exactly what the outcome is, but one thing I do know is that it could drastically shift the rain bands/ other pressure zones - southward. This is so due to the heat finding its way into the Southern hemisphere. The entire global atmospheric circulation would be mirrored.
I was born in 1994 and live in Switzerland. We used to be called 'The water castle of Europe'. But reports of water scarcity during summer are increasing and measures to save water are being increasingly issued by the government. This spring, it rained for 2 months without a break, and now it has stopped raining for almost 2 months entirely.
@@reneburger4317 So due to increased climate volatility water supply is feast or famine... water is a less dependable resource. This has a huge impact on agriculture and industry. Agriculture regarding both crop yields and animal husbandry (in recent years Swiss farmers have had to start helicoptering water up the mountains to support the usual cattle grazing pastures). For industry water from Switzerland support nuclear power plants in Switzerland, France and Germany. The water in these rivers also supports other aspects of German industry along the Rhine, from chemicals to manufacturing. With water less constant through irregular rain as well as less glacial melt water efficiencies in manufacturing as well as non-carbon power sources mean weaker economies and more reliance on carbon power which is root of the problem. I'm not sure your "so what" was just being facetious but the fact that people can tell just by looking at the last few years that the environment is changing quickly is telling. Someone born in 1994 and noticing rapid change is arguably more significant than someone identifying change from their youth in 1954.
It means we, the country eith one of the fewest water related problems have started to get some serious issues. We already had Italy complain last year, to release more water downstream, because they had a drought, even though we barely had any reserves. So you already see the early signs of conflict regarding water. In the not too far future, we might see sanctions or even wars sparked by water scarcity.
I'm from Spain, I live in the South-East and currently dealing with the summer is horrible, it is so hot that you can't think clearly and you need to have the air on 24/7, if this gets worse in the coming years it will literally be impossible to endure these summers. Two days ago there were already cases in the news of workers and old people who had died from "heat stroke" and the worst thing is that it's till only on July.

I hate heat. Whenever temperature rises above 27 I can barely get up from my bed, and i can barely work. Im 29 years old and even throughout such small period I can see the climate change in my area. I rarely have proper snowy weather in winter, and summer is scorching. Yet in my childhood it wasn't like that

@@frah_educational9926 Perhaps you meant it with good intentions, but my impression of your comment was different.

That's just how I read it.

As a kid I used to to play in the snow for days on end, there was snow for at least a couple weeks a year. But now I miss the sight of snow here in Belgium... it might snow for a few days a year or not at all... climate change is real and it's all around us for those who want to see
Also from Belgium. I concur. I remember building snow forts as a child. That is impossible now, there just isn't enough snow anymore. The last 5 years it hardly snowed at all and if it did, it would be minor and gone the next day. It is impossible to miss the signs unless you don't want to see them
Same here, I'm from Germany (Thuringia). Our winters were so beautiful, mixed with all the nature. Now most forrests were cut down and winter is just a mess. Maybe we have 20 days of snow in winter over here. But one good thing is, they begin and replant trees and everything. Nature slowly comes back.
As an amateur astronomer I am aware that The Earth is unique and for the human race there is no planet B, if we bugger up this world there is nowhere else to go.
I doubt the earth is unique. We simply don't know. The first exoplanet was discovered in 2011 now there are thousands of them and that's just in the milky way galaxy. Many are in the Goldilocks zone of their star. I'm sure there are thousands of earth like planets within a 10 000 light year radius of earth. We just don't have FTL travel yet. But a year ago I I read that somebody had actually created a warp field accidentally on a microscopic scale so I wouldn't rule out our ability to travel to said planets eventually. Despite how impossible it seems now.
Here in Austria, especially in the alps, it's crazy. In the first half of the 00s we had snow every single year. It was possible to go skiing, it was possible to go sledding in my neighbourhood, both without artificial snow. From 2015 on we needed at least a little bit of artificial snow to still go skiing and sledding. And the last time it was possible in my neighbourhood area was in 2018. Since then there was either no snow or so little that it was impossible to go skiing/sledding. Everyone can notice things like that. That's very disturbing.
@@u_w5822 It has no sense to compare with ALL earth's history, considering that we (as mankind) are a very very small part of it.

Exactly.

I am from northern Italy from the Alps region. Back when I was a kid we had regular snowfalls every winter, it has been 10 years and those have become rarer and rarer. I remember pleasant temperatures in the summer, now it is unbearable and every summer it seems like it is getting hotter
One theory that is still very popular is that if the polar ice melts, the gulf stream might stop which is necessary to transport warm water and heat to Europe. If you look at Europe from a latitude view, it is very comparable to Canada. I would like to see a scientific video investigating the effects of a missing gulf stream on the climate in Europe, but also globally. Now, that would be really interesting.
A theory on top of that theory... if the ice sheets (AC units) at both poles were out of service, global temps will be higher, a lot higher across the board.

The problem is perception of the situation because for worst case scenario of 2050 sea level rise we are talking roughly 1 meter or less. Which for most people on Earth means absolutely nothing because you can adapt to the worst case scenario for 2100 which is 2.5 meters way before 2040 hits. The actual problem is where your country is in relation to geographic location to put it simple if you live in USA where almost your entire country(minus Alaska and the good old Rust Belt) is one the same plane as Spain you are basically screwed due to heat and two other problems that sea water rise give: 1. The first is that thanks to sea water rise natural circulation of water is also halted which means the water density will be on the fritz aka it will flood more where the water is warmer in comparison to the places where water is significantly colder. This why living closer to the either north or south pole might be an advantage in worst case scenario. 2. And then you have the second problem if you live in Florida( or eastern USA in general) then you quickly find that hurricanse like catrina will be a freaking brieeze because more water that is also hotter means that hurricanes will be not only more common but also way stronger than those recorded up to this day. Basically the prediction are that USA will in worst case scenario will have few very big ones that will hit Louisiana and will rampage through eastern states up to north when it will enter North Atlantic through New England.
It's a hell of a lot more technical than that. The Arctic acts as a air conditioner or heat pump for the entire northern hemisphere. Everyday gigatons of ice water is cycled from the Arctic into the southern latitudes and into the Gulf of Mexico and into the Indian Ocean. Its return Journey carries all this hot water back into the Arctic. If that slows down significantly expect to see hurricanes a category 6 or category 7. It will actually devastate the entire Caribbean and cause Mass deaths
Actually you're quite wrong because the Arctic is the air conditioner of the northern latitudes and Northern Hemisphere. You turn off the air conditioner in your house when it's 120 degrees outside what do you think is going to happen inside your house? Or you can imagine it this way have a pool that's 200 ft long and put ice in the top 20% and then run air circulation fans that run in a circular fashion. You're at the opposite side of the pool and it's 120 degrees outside. You're going to stay cool as long as that ice there exists in that side of the pool because the water absorbs all the heat coming from the circulating fans now imagine if that ice disappears how hot do you think you'll be at the opposite side of the pool? Once the pool absorbs that extra heat they can no longer absorb the Heat and now it's at equivalent with inside the pool area. Eventually the inside of the pool area will reach the same temperature as the outside. That is a downscaled model planet Earth we're basically heading into another mass extinction. Humans are 100% responsible for having large families that is exceeding the population cap of planet Earth and basically Society will collapse. Millions upon millions of humans will migrate North and upwards of 1 billion humans will die in Parrish due to a global famine
Its causing more intense and deadly heat waves, human migrations from famine "occurring now in South America, Africa and the Middle East" earth is heading to a mass extinction unless all deforestation and all carbon can be substantially reduced!
Yet the elites who push and profit from this alarmist garbage live on the coasts, like right on the coast aka, Obama and Al Gore. They know that you will pay for it.
Sadly, 2 years later, the actualized prediction of the French government is a "local warming" of 4 degrees in the best scenario (ie with a global warming of 1.5 degrees). The local warming in France is already of 1.8 degrees in 2023. So it seems to be accelerating, or previous prediction were optimistic. So now we must use resources and time to adapt to 4+ degrees as well as resources and time to prevent further emission. What a mess we made for our children 😓.
we talk a lot about Europe and it's climate but we forget countries that live next to the desert like Morocco .. the country depends on rain or it's agriculture and it has already seen severe droughts in the last years and all the major dams are almost empty .. imagine the climate in Morocco in 2050 .

I did a tour to a historic water tower in Germany 20 years ago that was still in use. The waterworks employee that held the tour explained due to water saving appliances and a change in people's habits that cause less waste of fresh water the pipes (fresh and waste water) suffer because they would not get flushed enough anymore since they were designed to transport a much larger quantity of liquid. He explained for that reason and since the upkeeping costs were more or less the same for either scenario and that Germany (at least the region the water tower is) has plenty of water the waterworks encourage people to use more water. The increase in cost was not due to the amount used in the system but for its upkeep. If they would use more it price per hectolitre would drop (leaving you with the same bill at the end). Quite believable given the high regulations of the market on water in Germany. After all he explained the region had more water than it needs! Buuut 20 years later there are communities in the very same region that had to restrict water consumption for the first time ever due to drought.
That’s why we should replace humans with machines. Humans hate each other for small thinks like soccer, skin tone, religion. Machines would work together
Don’t worry guys, Dave from the pub with a MSc on climate science from the university of life says 1976 was hotter than this and there is nothing to worry about
@LL Alright then I guess we'll just keep chugging along and burning fossil fuels. It'll also cause hundreds of millions of people to die from starvation, but with the fun added bonus of famines, droughts, large uninhabitable zones, mass climate migration, extreme economic strain, civil unrest, wildfires, desertification, the melting of the ice caps and permafrost, sea level rise and acidification, and the extinction of critical ocean life which maintains the food chain and feeds millions. No big deal apparently.
@LL If we had our way we would keep weaning off FF at the rate that we are doing, no idiot would shut down all carbon output in one day so stop with the exagerative hyperbole, it just weakens whatever your argument is.
@LL Except there has been numerous warnings to stop using fossil fuels since the 60s. There was plenty of time. Looks like you aren't aware of how many people will die because of climate change, in worst case scenario (look at what happened to Venus) it will be billions.
@LL If we've had had our way back in the days when climate change was first discovered, we would not worry about energy now since we would have already mastered the transition. We could have regenerative energy and electric cars for many decades now, if it wasn't for the lobby of certain industries that tried to make money at the cost of nature and other people. In fact, electric cars were known as early as the 1880s. It's just that governments rather invested in Russian and Arab oil than in battery technology. Same goes for sustainable energy. Transition to renewable energy doesn't mean to simply push some button to shut down every power plant over night. It means governments stop listening to companies such as Shell and, instead, invest money in building the infrastructure of the future. Since every transition is hard and it gets harder the longer you delay it (and we have delayed it for quite some time now), it will probably also come with some cost to the people. We have to stop wasting as much. But, no worries, simply ask your grandparents. They survived with way less. We cry about possibly having to save on oil and gas this winter, because of the war. So we might not be able to heat the entire house to 22 °C. My grandparents didn't even have radiators in every room. They had a stove in the kitchen and that was all. When temperatures were low, they sat in the kitchen because all other rooms were cold. They survived. We won't even have to go through such a scenario. Even if we do everything that is suggested to slow down global warming, we would still have more luxury than most generations before us. It is simply that most people are egoistic idiots that wouldn't even accept the slightest curtailment of their privileges or go through the slightest effort to change something. This is why the transition will become hard. And it will become harder, the longer we wait and do nothing. Btw., climate change will cause (and is already causing) starvation, war, and death. In the 20th century, we fought wars over oil to power our economic growth. In the 21st, we'll fight wars over water to save our people from starvation. Times of luxury are over and the later you accept that, the harder it will be and the smaller is the chance we will survive the transition without our living conditions dropping to the level we had during the 14th century bubonic plague pandemic.
The whole of Southern Europe could become a desert, according to their study, if the climate continues to warm up. “With 2 degrees of warming, for the Mediterranean we will have a change in the vegetation which has never been known in the past 10,000 years,” said lead author of the study Joel Guiot.

I live in Portugal, what i can say about that is, 20, 30 years ago, Alentejo, south region in Portugal was like a desert noadays is full of vegetation with alot of trees, because we built the biggest artifical lake with a dam in europe, what i can say as well is that we dont have really hot days like almost 50ºC like those days, if it happens it is like 1 or 2 days a year, i think we have always to adapt and make the future as greener as possible...
@@thekraken1173 I know but a dessert biome is different to a dessert climate classification as that's determined by rainfall. While it is a dessert it's not the same as say the Saharan dessert in lack of rain. Also the sea will regulate the coast to stay as a Mediterranean climate for the majority of southern Europe. But there may be some more dessert in already hot areas. I still think most inland areas will be semi arid by then
I immigrated to my ancestral homelands in Central Europe, but my family in Texas is suffering from the heat dome that produced more than ten days in a row of real feel temperatures over 40 C (104 F). This is, I believe, unprecedented for June near Houston, Texas. Here we never got into the 80s in June, and now we will have a number of July days in the low to mid 80s with night temperatures in the 60s or high 50s. We are still rather fortunate here, but the whole system effects everyone and we give a damn about others.
I almost died in Texas last summer, I was only outside for a few hours and felt I could handle it as I’m from Arizona. I drank so much water and ended up passed out outside with EMS and I don’t remember what happened honestly. i now have issues :( first time I’ve ever experienced this
And still there are plenty of people denying that global warming is real or an issue! I was born in the early 70's and know winters in mid 70's to early 80's to be cold and long lasting with a lot of snow. In the Netherlands were i live we had serious cold winters in 86 and 87 with over minus 20 degrees! Now snow is becomming rare and summers are increasinly hotter with less rain. The Netherlands was always a rainy and somewhat colder country but we are rapidly turning into tropical with this speed with long drought inbetween. We must act now and stop the global warming. We should less blame what causes it, but focus more on how to solve it. We as humans are capable of it if we want. It will cost time and money, but if we want a future world for our children to live in we have to act now. Countries like China are doing the opposite and polluting at a maximum rate all in search of wealth. Greed will be our downfall. Lets hope we wakeup before it's irreversible.
Als jij in de jaren 70 bent geboren weet je ook dat het weer in de jaren 70 veel absurder was dan nu. Het droogste jaar ooit was in de jaren 70. Er waren extreme sneeuwstormen zoals 1979. En in 1975 viel er sneeuw in Juni en Oktober. En de winters van 86 en 87 waren belachelijk voor de milde Atlantische klimaat van Nederland
@@OrkunMelihKoksal Wat is het punt nu wat je wilt maken? Het gaat over de opwarming van de aarde. Dat is toch precies wat ik zeg en jij onderstreept het ook nog eens door te zeggen dat het een stuk koeler was toen. Dus ik begrijp eerlijk gezegd niet wat je wilt zeggen.
@@OrkunMelihKoksal Op zich klopt dat wel, maar vergeet niet dat Nederland ook een wat meer noordelijk land is en daardoor het kouder was. Als je kijkt naar de Scandinavische landen zie je ook de temperaturen steeds verder stijgen. Het ging mij gewoon om het punt dat global warming gewoon een feit is en niet erg fijn. Kijk maar op de temperaturen van de Bilt van de afgelopen 3 eeuwen. Vanaf ik meen 1706 maandelijks bijgehouden. Dan zie je dat de gemiddelde temp over 1 jaar met 2 graden is gestegen en dat de afgelopen 20 jaar het warmste gemiddeld zijn ooit gemeten in 300 jaar. Dat zijn gewoon feiten en het is zorgwekkend. We hebben pas weer een hittegolf achter de rug en dat bevestigd mijn punt.
Thankfully Turkey does have highlands that might protect them from the heatwaves coming from the sea level. However, I’m not sure even they’re enough to hold the climate change. Additionally, they already have 5-6 million refugees/migrants, I think these numbers will go up within the next decades (hope not tho)

@@OrkunMelihKoksal actually it does. In northeast Brazil there is an environment called caatinga. It is basically a desert. There are also sand dunes deserts like Dunas do Rosado.
I'm not from Europe but it's the same in the USA. It's getting hotter and hotter, and not just on the graph- you feel it. It scares me to remember how recently summer was a warm reprieve from the cold and now it's often dangerously hot.
This video is like preaching to the choir. Europe has already done a lot to reduce the climate change. Please make this video for Asia and America. They pollute many times more than we do.
Buddy if you didn't realize Asians aren't nearly rich as the West. We do it because if we try to cut costs, half of our population will starve to death, that's why some set goals of 2050. But my country, India has become increasingly irresponsible regarding this issue and have set a target of 2070 for net zero emissions. The average Indian emits 1.58 metric tons of CO2 annually, the average American emits 13 metric tons.
Well, since we (humans) are a tropical species, we cannot survive without shelter (home), clothing and/or heating at a temperature lower than 18 degrees (above zero) celcius due to hypothermia. In other words, you would not survive the southern Spanish winter without these tools. Just stop and think about that for a moment.
I believe we may be too late because non-human emissions have increased as a result of the warming we have already caused. Methane emissions from permafrost is one example.
70% of all pollution is caused by 100 companies. Until something changes there, my careful recycling / reusing / reducing doesn't mean anything. Or yours.
Companies don’t make pollution, it’s their customers who enable them to exist that are to blame and that includes you, so instead of being a hypocrite trying doing something yourself.
@@senseofthecommonman So the customer should just stoo buying... anything then? Most climate change is indeed caused by companies, the best us customers can do is vote for politicians that improve regulations for the companies.
@@simianto9957 Yes, however the same politicians are put in place in favor of those companies all around the world to make sure that business goes well.
@@senseofthecommonman that is true, and a point people often avoid. But still, those same companies are producing in the most profitable manner, while following only the minimum of the climate regulations, which are already not sufficient partially because of lobbying by those same companies. Also good luck convincing billions of people to change their lifestyles. That is simply not feasible. While forcing those 100 or so companies to invest in more sustainable means of production is. The best thing we can do is vote for whoever is making that happen, over everything else.
Everything that people are doing about impending Climate Collapse is far too little and far too late. The graphs are climing faste and accelerating. A small number of better-off consumers ( thats us) adopting slightly 'greener' adjustments to their lifestyle is I am afraid a waste of time, other than giving people a warm feeling that somehow they are helping save the planet. The only thing that could possibly make any difference would involve immediate sweeping compulsory and painful measures by governments of every advanced country. Probably no planes, no cars, no cruise ships, totally change how we live work, feed ourselves, recreate ourselves. The changes required are so enormous but so urgent that I cannot see any prospect of them happening to make any difference. It is all too late and we may well perish in our millions.
Real, us Europeans are getting pollution taxes and need to get newer and newer cars but countries like Russia, China, USA and other non-european countries don't give a shit. We crossed the line where we could've saved ourselves long ago.
I want one of these for North America, but especially the U.S. I want to know if the region my family and I live in will remain habitable, or even survivable for my sister and I as neither of us can sweat.
I've repeatedly heard that only the Midwestern region will remain reasonably habitable. The Southwest will collapse because rich people won't stop sucking up the Colorado River and using the water to keep their golf courses lush.
@@user-rx2ur5el9p I heard the best spots are the midwest and the Pacific northwest, beside any wildfires, oregon and washington get lots of rainfall so they will be able to collect a supply to mitigate the effects of drought. The midwest is good too. Lots of storms will increase on the east coast and the southwest is literally a slowly cooking desert
Midwest will still have heat waves, wind storms, thunderstorms, possible flooding from downpours and tornadoes. Much better though than wildfires and drought that the west will experience...
@@paxundpeace9970 They are working. NuScale can install right now. The problem is the hyper-regulation from govt. bureaucrats and feckless environmentalists that no nothing about nuclear power generation.
honestly, if global warming is the problem, why dont we just start a nuclear winter? like think for second, itll only be a few years in hazmat suits or underground and the boom, everything should be back to normal.
The recent winters here in my city in Germany were very mild. When I was a child we used to have white winters with lots of snow. 2 years ago it was so warm, it didn't feel like winter at all. I wonder what our country is going to be like in 2050.
Here in Austria there is also less and less snow, although there are always years with extremely high snowfall. Spring this year was also very special, the first half of January was more like March, but in April and May it was very cold, so cold that the apricot fruits were destroyed because of late frost. The distribution of rain also changed, with extremely heavy rainfall for weeks and then drought for weeks.
The Split Jet Stream means that Europe is a “Heat Wave” Hot Spot. This means it concentrates and maintains heat about 4 times better than other regions - especially from the Sahara.
Sort of. The way this works (the desert zone) involves "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" which is much energy equalling for 1 kg water the same as heating 10 kg water by 60 degrees (and some latent heat of fusion-freezing also). Air rises wet from the ocean around the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) just north of equator in May-August and cools by say 90 degrees while rising 15 km which condenses the H2O gas and the water rains back down there. It would have cooled by say 135 degrees but all that latent heat of condensation & freezing held back 45 degrees of cooling. As it heads north at 15 km up the Coriolis Effect turns it hard right so it's stopped there and descends and gets heated by pressure as it descends, but it's bone dry because its H2O fell out when it rose, so it heats by maybe 135 degrees as it descends by 15 km so it's now 45 degrees warmer than the warm tropics where it rose due to "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" cooling the tropics where it rose and putting its heat into the air. My example is an exaggeration because it's also radiating heat to space but it does carry several extra degrees of heat north in the air due to water latent heat. So that causes the Sahara Desert and also it's dry air descending which means no cloud so the summer Sun is blazing. The Mediterranean Sea is too deep to be dried to desert but southern Europe is destined to gradually become in the desert zone of dry descending air from ITCZ that I just described. It's inevitable as the global warming relentlessly progresses due to the +CO2.

I guess many people just aren't educated enough, or just can't help themselves (lack of sensitivity, empathy?), to see the point. I agree with you, but many still claim their "right" to spend more, have more, discard more, and keep on making stupid decisions, lawmakers included, right? So sad.

I'm from Belgium. As a child, I remember my father building an iglo for us in the winter, and me building huge snowmen higher then me, because snow was thick and longlasting. My children have never seen such snow and have never been able to build a larger snowman than 30 cm. Snow always melts immediately now. As for the winters, I must say that they have become much more pleasant. I remember how the cold in the winter would enter my gloves, freezing my hands. I remember the pain in my feet and hands after a walk of 15 minutes from the bare cold. The last 7 years we have no longer experienced that. That's something I like😅. I like the warming in winter and even the more frequent heatwaves. I feel more in holiday mood and my vitamin D deficiency has stopped. I no longer need to take vitamines for it. What is more difficult is not the changing of the climate, but the much more frequent 'wheather bulbs': when the wheather just remains unchanged for a month or more. We used to have a very changeable wheather, one day rain, one day sun. Now we remain without rain for months, causing droughts and heatwaves, followed up by a month of unending rain, causing floods.
Also from Belgium, born in 1988 and I have the exact same experience as you. The change is dramatic and it seems to be accelerating in the last 5 years. It's is impossible to not see this unless someone wilfully doesn't want to see it. And I understand that winter is more pleasant and even that more heat and sunshine can be more pleasant. The problem is that it isn't going to stop there. One thing a lot of people don't know is that when CO2 is emitted, it takes between 10 and 20 years (estimates vary, 10 years is what the latest research says) to have its full impact on the climate. That means that we are now seeing the effects of emissions 10 to 20 years ago and that in turn means that we still have to see the effects of the crazy high emissions of the last decade. It also means that if we change our behaviour dramatically and cut down on CO2 emissions, it will take 10 to 20 years to really see the effects of that. There are a lot of scientists who say that keeping warming under 1.5°C is already impossible because the emissions to reach that level have already been released
@@wardachrouaa7281 Woops, I made a mistake, I'm from 1988, not 1998 😛10 years difference is huge in this context, because when I was young the winters could still be severe some years. That is not the case for someone born in 1998, because by the time they were starting to form memories, it had already changed quite dramatically, though far from as much as it has in the last 5-10 years. Quite scary, since what we're seeing now is the result of emissions that happened 10-20 years ago, not from our current emissions, those still haven't started having an effect
As a 30 year old, i don't remember them ever not talking about climate change or global warming. Like since 1993, we were constantly told how important it was to stop emissions at school and on the news. So what the hell were they actually doing all this time? I feel like my generation had no choice in this.

i noticed it for a while. like when i was a child my fingers would turn blue from the cold. it was a struggle to keep my hands warm and i had to wear layers of clothing. past winters most days i didnt even wear a coat, a thick sweater sufficed, and my hands never got cold. it’s kinda terrifying
I swear humanity is the funniest civilization i have ever been in. Full gas off the cliff, completly on purpose, will not even consider turning around.
See any video by Tony Heller. He points out the historic past and it’s variability. The warmest temperatures were in the 1930’s, with more days over 100°F than we’ve had for the past 30 years. Other years of heatwaves, with droughts and forest fires, were all greater in the past. The Roman and medieval warm periods were much warmer than current. These global events assisted the Danes to settle and farm in a new land they called Greenland for several hundred years, and the English grew grapes to rival French wines. We can’t do these now because it’s too cold. Those previous warm periods were all during times of lower CO2 levels. Propaganda controlled by a few are aiming to control the western world and not allow developing countries the energy they need, so they continue to burn wood and dung.
"If" this is true, I feel we are watching a car crash about to happen, but all we are doing is setting up cameras to capture it, instead of trying to prevent it. If China has a bunch of empty factories, the nations of the world should commission these factories and their workers to create that which will replace whatever scientists believe is increasingly depleting from our atmosphere in order to stop what this is that is happening. Or, we just sit back and watch the car crash. Basically, are we re-active, or preventive?

I'm from southern Romania, around 150 kms away from the Capital City. Our winters used to be white: we had a ton of snow, but for the past decade we've had under 10 days of snow every winter (usually in January-February, but once it also snew in April for some reason). The heat during summer has become unbearable. The Temperature is constantly between 35-40*C During the day and i can't even stand being outside in the shade anymore. This entire Summer i stayed inside simply because of how unbearable it is to be outside. I was forced to move downstairs (my room is in the attic) due to how hot it is up there. We only have Water 10 Hours per day during Summer and usually the pressure is very low. It's gotten so bad that i cheer whenever it rains. We're eventually going to stop having Spring and Winter, instead we're only going to have Summer and Autumn if we continue at this rate: One dry season with constantly 40*C+ Weather and one wet season with bearable weather.

I hope schools integrate *rapid climate change* into the curriculum so that more people are educated about it. And I also want every single school in the world to stop talking about CFCs! Because they have been replaced with something far more efficient but still dangerous, HFCs. HFCs are not nearly as dangerous as CFCs, but they are still severely worse than CO2 or CH4 (methane). All or most of the ACs in the world currently have HFCs and no CFCs.
In school they prefer to tell kids to join the army. They won't talk about the elephant in the room, the carbon /toxicity footprint of the military industrial complex either.
I grew up in central France only 2 decades ago, I remember in early 2000s how every winter had a lot of snow in Januray and February, how the temperature slowly rose until summer and then slowly decreased until winter. Now when I spend time there, and my family confirms it, the climate doesnt make sense anymore, it barely snows in winter if at all, the temperature can rise and fall sharply (Im talking 20°C or more between min and max) in just one or 2 days, the rivers are shockingly low, bugs are mostly gone. Now I am part of the CNRS, am I allowed this video sounds naive? This year seems to be on track to, and probably will be the first one to be above +1.5, and if not it will be next year or most certainly during the next El Nino in the late 2020s. Taking into account the decrease in aerosols (we forbid some because they were destroying the ozone layer) which cooled the earth, the warming should accelerate in the coming years. Given how our current economic and political system do not and cannot efficiently tackle the issue, I dont see how we do not reach +3 and not +2 around 2050. And at +3, with oil resources scheduled to be depleted around 2060, it is game over. The only solution to avoid collapse is to change the system built for the benefits of the few, so the many can change their ways of life, and fulfill their lives in art, society and science instead of economics. I live now in southern France and i plan to leave asap, this summer, like the last, was unbearable. June to October (5 months!) at or above 30°C, with several weeks at 35 and one full week at 40 (at this point staying outside is dangerous), inside temperature between 27 and 29 including at night in July and August is not a life.
7 yeara ago when I moved to Helsinki, 25 °C was considered warm summer day. And most days from Nov. 1 to April were snowing heavily. Last winter it was raining most of the time and froze down at nights. While we had above 20 °C almosy all summer. It will be 28 °C today. In middle of august... So I would say, these predictions are very optimistic... Maybe even most of europe will be barely habitable 10 years from now.... How can we make the world actually care?
I'm gonna vent out in this comment section because why not. I'm worried about what is going to happen to millions of people (me included) worldwide but, to be honest, I can't wait to see everyone gradually realize the actual seriousness of the situation. I kind of wish to see all the people that downplayed this issue for 40 years to be crushed by the knowledge of the fact that they condemned their beloved sons and daughters to an existence of regret, anger and utter desperation and hopelessness. I really hope that all the "progress" and "growth" that all of them selfishly enjoyed, without thinking twice about who was about to come next, was worth it. I would never trade places with all of you people born before the '70s. You are all going to be remembered as the ones who screwed everything up, the ones who clipped our wings before we could even learn to fly; history will judge your deeds and I'm sorry for those of you who never actually did anything wrong.

I'm only 24 years old, live in the UK and remember being a kid during Christmas it would pretty much always snow, we would get a lot of snow too for like 2-3 weeks straight, it was amazing. However for the last 8 or so years we get about 1 day of snow and its very light and is gone within a couple hours. I do miss snowy christmas so much.
Snow in the UK is rare. Same as in The Netherlands. Last year we had a week big snow fall in the end of februari. For the rest it was like 5-10 degrees whole winter.
UK has reached mid 30C more times I'm the last 7 years than ever before, plus some models are predicting between 35C-43C for the UK next weekend, which is completely ridiculous
I have seen affect of global warming a lot in Northern India. We use to get 6 months of winter and 6 months of summer with lot of rain in monsoons. But in last 10-15 years rains have become really less in monsoons here and now we are getting like 3-4 months of winters and 8-9 months of summers.

40 in the Midlands. You know what people said? "It's just weather/summer". Other people died or got heat stroke from sunbathing. The level of ignorance and stupidity seems to be increasing at the same rate as the temperature.
The changes are already being felt, we had heavy rainfall events here in northwest Germany in the summer of 2017 and 2021, and it was also very bad over Christmas 2023. The summers of 2018 and 2019 were extremely hot and extremely dry for this region and it is only now in 2024, when we have had a wet period since fall 2023, that the water reservoirs have been somewhat replenished. There are currently far fewer storms from late fall to late winter. I live two kilometers from the North Sea and I doubt that it will still be possible to live here in 2100. I have only adjusted my insurance because we live just below sea level (my apartment is on the mezzanine floor just under one meter above sea level) and in the event of a burst dike, we could still be flooded by up to four meters according to risk maps. I'm beginning to think I won't even be able to live to the start of my retirement here in 2055, if I live to that age at all.
The best thing about climate change is that we can still limit it's effects. So stop blaming china for emitting carbon producing consumer goods for you, and ask yourself if you really need all that crap. Also cut down on your personal emissions. And, most of all, force politicians to take it serious, and change high- carbon industries. Don't worry about jobs. Worry about food, agriculture, and habitable areas. Measuring the importance of everything in $$$ is what got us into this trouble in the first place. Stop wasting your life in a destructive treadmill, and start repairing the social networks around you- they will keep you alive in the coming centuries. Money can only do that if you have obscene amounts of it and people dumb enough to work for a tyrant, is that really your realistic plan? Become independent of markets as much as possible. We need to stop wasting resources and energy on stuff we never needed in the first place, and we need to do some stuff in better ways. I.E. Cargo Railroads and mass transit. Roads should be for walking and meeting, local, rural and emergency use only. And you don't need to fly to hawaii once a year. You can do that once a while, if your life has a sustainable footprint otherwise. Think about the future of the only habitable planet we know- do you really want to trust elon musk with safeguarding life as we know it in a deadly red desert? Just find nice place locally and take a nap in the sun if you really want a sunburn. Or learn how to sail. Stop listening to people whose job is to sell you stuff you lived fine without the last 50 years. Always ask yourself: is this really a helpful tool/experience to make the most of our lives or just another gadget? Toys (sports cars, 80"flatscreens) are for children and recreation, buy/make them responsibly. Capitalism is a very comlicated detour to waste lives. Markets are only effective at regulation in some areas, we should limit their rule to those. Work to get the free time you need to work on friendships and sustainable social and local infrastructure. That's whats important for your quality of life.
what do u mean stop blaming china? u think it will make a difference if Malta does everything you say?

@@akhsdenlew1861 china and india are very important. They don't get a free pass. But emissions depend more on market demand for products and services than on "how many people live there". So. Rich countries are to blame for most, simply by virtue of having the most money to waste on too much crap. Not only jobs went to china with manufacturing- the emissions, too. If other countries made more of their stuff themselves, china's emmissions would be much lower.
We can do a lot about past emissions (contrary to stated in this video) by capturing them (either by planting more trees or developing technology and infrastructure for it or doing both).
Studies shows that even if we planted trees and forest everywhere it would negate not more than a third of what we emit today. I mean, one third is huge but far from being enough. Trees are helping but its not the solution. And climate change will greatly increase tree mortality overall. For technologies capturing CO2, I dont believe in it. We have millions of cars, planes industries and energy plants producing CO2 daily. Imagine how many "CO2 absorbing machines" we would need to offset that. And the amount of electricity that would be necessary. Capturing CO2 is great but we can't rely on that, we need to stop emitting it first, very simply
@@jeremiebihin8150 We definitely need to cut emissions, but still that is not the only field to work on. Capture is a thing. I mean our emissions are enabled by burning captured stuff in hydrocarbons. We even have places to store it all - the same spots where we get our gas and oil out.
@@RageMup During years 1000-1300 it was much warmer. Greenland was green. Now its "iceland". Let's hope that we'll get more heat. More plants and grops and no hunger.
Until we're able to supply 100% of the world's energy needs from renewable energy sources, there's no point in developing CCS at scale as it uses considerable amounts of power (thereby in effect producing emissions), which outweigh the amount of emissions it is able to capture.
Making the Sahara green will kill the Amazon since it provides the soil in that region with lots of it's nutrients. Though assuming you meant preventing desertification and the Sarah from EXPANDING then yes I agree

I'm from Athens, Greece.
I was born in 1994 and I remember back then everyone used to praise the Athenian climate. It was warm but not very hot in summer and we had mild winters. Since 2018 it has snowed more than 5 times in Athens which is extremely rare and the summers are absolutely unbearable. We don't have fall anymore. It goes from hot summer to freezing cold weather. It also rarely rains but when it rains everything floods. It's just not the same anymore.
So you remember 94, the year you were born? I don't remember anything from the year I was born. Aside from the fact that all my memories as a child are no evidence of anything. THere was a massive drought between 76 and 77 in the UK and I have no memory of it whatsover, I was 10/11 the only thing I do remember is the day it rained. I vaguely remember incredibly mild winters. Going cycling on christmas day without fear of any kind of extreme weather event. While in through the 90s in the UK I very well remember snow and ice and very cold winters, even news of people freezing to death on their doorsteps because they were not prepared for cold winters. None of my memories form any kind of evidence of any trend in weather.
You've been gaslighted. Global temperatures have been falling for the last 7 years. I now live in Uruguay and we've just come out of a long and very cold winter by local standards, wearing winter clothes and winter bedding into november when it should be the start of summer.
And so what if it is not the same. The sun is a very powerful ball of fire whose output changes constantly. You think we can control for that massive furnace? I hope you enjoy your chains.
The hottest temperature ever measured in Athens (and Europe) was 48 degrees in 1977.
LOL.
I remember my grrk vacacions back in 1991 in athems. I´m from Madrid, (dry hot climate back then). Athens in August in 1991 was HELL ON EARTH. Don´t know hoy it is now. But it was daefinitely very vary warm there. Wouldn´t have praised it at all.
@@TheCompleteGuitarist I agree. So far the UN IPCC haven´t been right one single time. It is very interesting to analyze the fact that they tell Europe that Africa will be inhabitable according to the UN. We in Europe are causinf this, allthough Europes Co2 emisions are less than the worlds 10%... This message clearly has an objective.
Naming the issue of having to reinvent the 'winter mountain sports' as one of the issues in this video misses the point of the crisis that we are in. We wont be worrying about not being able to go skiing when we laterally cant grow food even in places like southern Europe....
The Israelis have been turning deserts into farmland since the 1950's. Saudi Arabia is doing it today as well. Nobody is running out of food.
Europe probably will be able to solve it's food needs alone. The problem is if it stands in the global market where prices should go up.
No there will be even more greening of the world by that point. Also we will have hydroponics and vertical farming.

@@carlbennett2417 Then enlighten me on my mistakes.
The temperature increase during winters in the northern regions of Europe is already happening. 10-15 years back, I remember winters in the Netherlands filled with ice skating, snowball fights, and sleighing for weeks or months on end. We haven't had such winters anymore for the last 5-10 years, having only occasional snowfall which melts away almost immediately or frozen waters for a couple of days.
difference in Serbia is crazy,
i m from central part of Serbia, and in 2004-2008 i remember playing in snow from december up to march that is 4 months of snow, in the last 5y we could see only 5-10days of snowing and snow almost never stayed longer then a day or couple of days, the difference is so notable that it is crazy how fast it changed and how little people actually questioned that change
I'm 31 years old from Hungary, I remember much colder winters in the late 90's. - 10C and below was average in January. In the last 15-20 years, winter has started to simply disappear. I don't remember when we saw a white Christmas.

Same in Budapest. I played so much in the snow when I was kid. My kids now barely see any snow nowadays and yes it melts quickly. I am living in the exact same place as when I was kid
Even today, 30% of Germany's forests are dying bc we've had record droughts for 3 consecutive years. Not to speak of the associated crop failures. And snow? Doesn't exist in winters, anymore. But then you'll have sudden hailstorms in April.
Yet still people deny climate change. It's ridiculous.
Can confirm. I live in Bavaria, when I was a little kid, I remember going ice skating with all my friends for weeks on end. Nowadays, theres not even snow anymore for months, and then suddenly, all hell freezes over for one evening / night making even roads covered by a thick sheet of ice thick enough to ice skate on them. Driving impossible
I dont necessarly think the waetver in my hometown is getting so much hotter (but definetly a little bit hotter for sure) but the weather we do have is just soooo much more extreme.
Its nor just snow and ice, it even doesnt rain for weeks and then it all comes down in a single day like a flood
Same shit happening in Poland, we haven't seen regular snowy winters since 2015/14. The worst part is that in Poland we gonna have lack of underground water supplies of this continues, in a decade or two.
same where i live, it feels lile we're getting shorter and shorter Winters with much less snowfall
Same in northern Italy. There was a massive storm in 2018, named Vaia. It caused more than 1.8 billion euros in damage in the Veneto region alone. The winds reached a speed of more than 200 km/h. The storm was so strong it decimated the alpine forests, uprooting 14 million trees - I think they just finished cleaning up the mess of that storm...
Summer temperatures are sky high, too. In the 1990s max summer temps hovered around 27°C to 32°C max. Now we get heatwaves every summer, they last for days and push temps above 32°C very easily... We also get violent hailstorms and rain is more violent, too - the media have coined a new phrase, "Bomb of water" (bomba d'acqua) to describe these new phenomena that we're witnessing.
I have personally noticed one such change in my country.
In Romania, fig trees used to be almost unheard of - except for the S-E and S-W regions. My grandfather was Greek and he was the only person in his village (S-E Romania) to have such a tree in his yard (I'm talking about the '60s and '70s). However, my grandmother had to permanently cover it in wintertime, in order to protect it from frost. Although it survived the cold seasons, it grew only to the shrub level and never became a tree in the true sense of the word. Even the figs produced were small, green and unable to ripen in Romania's climate BACK THEN.
Nowadays, the winters in my region have become so mild (no snowfall for nearly a decade now) and the summers so dry (rainfall in Romania used to have maxima in summers) that the fig trees can actually grow and reach maturity, just like in the Mediterranean region. There are now entire plantations of fig trees in my region!
As a result, I have bought some figs from my city market this autumn and they were EXACTLY the same as the figs that can be found in e.g. Greece, where I had lived for two years. Without knowing of the newly established plantations, I would have suspected the figs to have been imported from Greece or Italy!
Thank you for this report.

In Poland 15-20 years ago the winters were harsh, and we had lots of snow, usually from November till April. Now it's not as cold, and it seems my hometown in Poland only gets snow in January-March period. I see the climate change with my own eyes judging how seasons change in my country.
I hope your pockets are deep too.
I live in Poland and I'd say that most snow falls in december-january and springs are becoming increasingly cold while winters overall a bit warmer

I can still remember those years we had winters with regular frost and snow, this changed enormously in the last 20 years with less and less frost.

Next week we will have to deal with another record breaking heatwave here again and the still fresh heat record will probably be broken again with temperatures up to 43 degrees!

Yes this is truly horrible
You know there is one ‘slightly’ more troubling scenario for Europe's future climate - and that’s the looming prospect of an AMOC disruption. Remember, this tipping point doesn’t always have to be strictly met at say
+3 degrees of warming. It could be closer than ever, because the other tipping points surrounding the North Atlantic (Greenland ice melt) can be reached much earlier. This is so because tipping points can trigger each other by unstable interactions.
If it happens, Britain and Scandinavia will become stormier and snowier, Central Europe would have extremes hot and cold too, and suppose Southern Europe would get wet and dry cycles.
I study anthropocene climate change and paleoclimatology. Yes if the Atlantic murielle overturning circulation was to significantly slow down, it would put Europe into a very very bad cycle of very bad Winters. It would cause Florida and the southeast United States into a sauna like condition killing probably thousands of people during the heat waves
The dramatic reduction of (and possibly entirely shutting down of temporarily) AMOC is probably what puts Earth into each Ice Age.
@@kimballspeakthreetheater3318 no it does not shutting down the amoc will actually cause wicked cold temperatures in Europe during the winter months and substantially increase the intensity and strength of hurricanes in the summer months in the South Atlantic. Is predicted that hurricane strength to reach category 6 and category 7 that will only accelerate Mass migration of climate migrants North
@@kimballspeakthreetheater3318 Well, I dunno about the whole Earth dropping into a freeze... It would certainly cool Europe and make it stormier year round. As for the rest of the world I can't say exactly what the outcome is, but one thing I do know is that it could drastically shift the rain bands/ other pressure zones - southward. This is so due to the heat finding its way into the Southern hemisphere. The entire global atmospheric circulation would be mirrored.

I was born in 1994 and live in Switzerland. We used to be called 'The water castle of Europe'. But reports of water scarcity during summer are increasing and measures to save water are being increasingly issued by the government. This spring, it rained for 2 months without a break, and now it has stopped raining for almost 2 months entirely.
So what?
@@reneburger4317 So due to increased climate volatility water supply is feast or famine... water is a less dependable resource. This has a huge impact on agriculture and industry. Agriculture regarding both crop yields and animal husbandry (in recent years Swiss farmers have had to start helicoptering water up the mountains to support the usual cattle grazing pastures). For industry water from Switzerland support nuclear power plants in Switzerland, France and Germany. The water in these rivers also supports other aspects of German industry along the Rhine, from chemicals to manufacturing. With water less constant through irregular rain as well as less glacial melt water efficiencies in manufacturing as well as non-carbon power sources mean weaker economies and more reliance on carbon power which is root of the problem. I'm not sure your "so what" was just being facetious but the fact that people can tell just by looking at the last few years that the environment is changing quickly is telling. Someone born in 1994 and noticing rapid change is arguably more significant than someone identifying change from their youth in 1954.
It means we, the country eith one of the fewest water related problems have started to get some serious issues. We already had Italy complain last year, to release more water downstream, because they had a drought, even though we barely had any reserves. So you already see the early signs of conflict regarding water. In the not too far future, we might see sanctions or even wars sparked by water scarcity.
Sweden will be more like Switzerland I guess, your welcome to buy a house here

@@after_midnight9592 False. None of their predictions are coming true because it's all lies.
Rising temperatures isn't always a good thing. The ice melts. So the seas might flood the coastal cities.
The problem is perception of the situation because for worst case scenario of 2050 sea level rise we are talking roughly 1 meter or less. Which for most people on Earth means absolutely nothing because you can adapt to the worst case scenario for 2100 which is 2.5 meters way before 2040 hits.
The actual problem is where your country is in relation to geographic location to put it simple if you live in USA where almost your entire country(minus Alaska and the good old Rust Belt) is one the same plane as Spain you are basically screwed due to heat and two other problems that sea water rise give:
1. The first is that thanks to sea water rise natural circulation of water is also halted which means the water density will be on the fritz aka it will flood more where the water is warmer in comparison to the places where water is significantly colder. This why living closer to the either north or south pole might be an advantage in worst case scenario.
2. And then you have the second problem if you live in Florida( or eastern USA in general) then you quickly find that hurricanse like catrina will be a freaking brieeze because more water that is also hotter means that hurricanes will be not only more common but also way stronger than those recorded up to this day. Basically the prediction are that USA will in worst case scenario will have few very big ones that will hit Louisiana and will rampage through eastern states up to north when it will enter North Atlantic through New England.
It's a hell of a lot more technical than that. The Arctic acts as a air conditioner or heat pump for the entire northern hemisphere. Everyday gigatons of ice water is cycled from the Arctic into the southern latitudes and into the Gulf of Mexico and into the Indian Ocean. Its return Journey carries all this hot water back into the Arctic. If that slows down significantly expect to see hurricanes a category 6 or category 7. It will actually devastate the entire Caribbean and cause Mass deaths
Actually you're quite wrong because the Arctic is the air conditioner of the northern latitudes and Northern Hemisphere. You turn off the air conditioner in your house when it's 120 degrees outside what do you think is going to happen inside your house? Or you can imagine it this way have a pool that's 200 ft long and put ice in the top 20% and then run air circulation fans that run in a circular fashion. You're at the opposite side of the pool and it's 120 degrees outside. You're going to stay cool as long as that ice there exists in that side of the pool because the water absorbs all the heat coming from the circulating fans now imagine if that ice disappears how hot do you think you'll be at the opposite side of the pool? Once the pool absorbs that extra heat they can no longer absorb the Heat and now it's at equivalent with inside the pool area. Eventually the inside of the pool area will reach the same temperature as the outside. That is a downscaled model planet Earth we're basically heading into another mass extinction. Humans are 100% responsible for having large families that is exceeding the population cap of planet Earth and basically Society will collapse.

Sadly, 2 years later, the actualized prediction of the French government is a "local warming" of 4 degrees in the best scenario (ie with a global warming of 1.5 degrees). The local warming in France is already of 1.8 degrees in 2023. So it seems to be accelerating, or previous prediction were optimistic. So now we must use resources and time to adapt to 4+ degrees as well as resources and time to prevent further emission. What a mess we made for our children 😓.

I did a tour to a historic water tower in Germany 20 years ago that was still in use.
The waterworks employee that held the tour explained due to water saving appliances and a change in people's habits that cause less waste of fresh water the pipes (fresh and waste water) suffer because they would not get flushed enough anymore since they were designed to transport a much larger quantity of liquid.
He explained for that reason and since the upkeeping costs were more or less the same for either scenario and that Germany (at least the region the water tower is) has plenty of water the waterworks encourage people to use more water. The increase in cost was not due to the amount used in the system but for its upkeep. If they would use more it price per hectolitre would drop (leaving you with the same bill at the end). Quite believable given the high regulations of the market on water in Germany. After all he explained the region had more water than it needs!
Buuut 20 years later there are communities in the very same region that had to restrict water consumption for the first time ever due to drought.

Those people honestly wouldn't care one bit as they'll probably be dead by the time it gets really bad
@LL Alright then I guess we'll just keep chugging along and burning fossil fuels. It'll also cause hundreds of millions of people to die from starvation, but with the fun added bonus of famines, droughts, large uninhabitable zones, mass climate migration, extreme economic strain, civil unrest, wildfires, desertification, the melting of the ice caps and permafrost, sea level rise and acidification, and the extinction of critical ocean life which maintains the food chain and feeds millions. No big deal apparently.
@LL If we had our way we would keep weaning off FF at the rate that we are doing, no idiot would shut down all carbon output in one day so stop with the exagerative hyperbole, it just weakens whatever your argument is.
@LL Except there has been numerous warnings to stop using fossil fuels since the 60s. There was plenty of time. Looks like you aren't aware of how many people will die because of climate change, in worst case scenario (look at what happened to Venus) it will be billions.
@LL If we've had had our way back in the days when climate change was first discovered, we would not worry about energy now since we would have already mastered the transition. We could have regenerative energy and electric cars for many decades now, if it wasn't for the lobby of certain industries that tried to make money at the cost of nature and other people. In fact, electric cars were known as early as the 1880s. It's just that governments rather invested in Russian and Arab oil than in battery technology. Same goes for sustainable energy.
Transition to renewable energy doesn't mean to simply push some button to shut down every power plant over night. It means governments stop listening to companies such as Shell and, instead, invest money in building the infrastructure of the future. Since every transition is hard and it gets harder the longer you delay it (and we have delayed it for quite some time now), it will probably also come with some cost to the people. We have to stop wasting as much. But, no worries, simply ask your grandparents. They survived with way less.
We cry about possibly having to save on oil and gas this winter, because of the war. So we might not be able to heat the entire house to 22 °C. My grandparents didn't even have radiators in every room. They had a stove in the kitchen and that was all. When temperatures were low, they sat in the kitchen because all other rooms were cold. They survived. We won't even have to go through such a scenario. Even if we do everything that is suggested to slow down global warming, we would still have more luxury than most generations before us. It is simply that most people are egoistic idiots that wouldn't even accept the slightest curtailment of their privileges or go through the slightest effort to change something. This is why the transition will become hard. And it will become harder, the longer we wait and do nothing. Btw., climate change will cause (and is already causing) starvation, war, and death. In the 20th century, we fought wars over oil to power our economic growth. In the 21st, we'll fight wars over water to save our people from starvation. Times of luxury are over and the later you accept that, the harder it will be and the smaller is the chance we will survive the transition without our living conditions dropping to the level we had during the 14th century bubonic plague pandemic.
The whole of Southern Europe could become a desert, according to their study, if the climate continues to warm up. “With 2 degrees of warming, for the Mediterranean we will have a change in the vegetation which has never been known in the past 10,000 years,” said lead author of the study Joel Guiot.

I immigrated to my ancestral homelands in Central Europe, but my family in Texas is suffering from the heat dome that produced more than ten days in a row of real feel temperatures over 40 C (104 F).

In the Netherlands were i live we had serious cold winters in 86 and 87 with over minus 20 degrees!
Now snow is becomming rare and summers are increasinly hotter with less rain. The Netherlands was always a rainy and somewhat colder country but we are rapidly turning into tropical with this speed with long drought inbetween.
We must act now and stop the global warming. We should less blame what causes it, but focus more on how to solve it. We as humans are capable of it if we want. It will cost time and money, but if we want a future world for our children to live in we have to act now.

The Split Jet Stream means that Europe is a “Heat Wave” Hot Spot. This means it concentrates and maintains heat about 4 times better than other regions - especially from the Sahara.
Sort of. The way this works (the desert zone) involves "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" which is much energy equalling for 1 kg water the same as heating 10 kg water by 60 degrees (and some latent heat of fusion-freezing also). Air rises wet from the ocean around the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) just north of equator in May-August and cools by say 90 degrees while rising 15 km which condenses the H2O gas and the water rains back down there. It would have cooled by say 135 degrees but all that latent heat of condensation & freezing held back 45 degrees of cooling. As it heads north at 15 km up the Coriolis Effect turns it hard right so it's stopped there and descends and gets heated by pressure as it descends, but it's bone dry because its H2O fell out when it rose, so it heats by maybe 135 degrees as it descends by 15 km so it's now 45 degrees warmer than the warm tropics where it rose due to "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" cooling the tropics where it rose and putting its heat into the air. My example is an exaggeration because it's also radiating heat to space but it does carry several extra degrees of heat north in the air due to water latent heat. So that causes the Sahara Desert and also it's dry air descending which means no cloud so the summer Sun is blazing. The Mediterranean Sea is too deep to be dried to desert but southern Europe is destined to gradually become in the desert zone of dry descending air from ITCZ that I just described. It's inevitable as the global warming relentlessly progresses due to the +CO2.

I'm from Belgium. As a child, I remember my father building an iglo for us in the winter, and me building huge snowmen higher then me, because snow was thick and longlasting. My children have never seen such snow and have never been able to build a larger snowman than 30 cm. Snow always melts immediately now.
As for the winters, I must say that they have become much more pleasant. I remember how the cold in the winter would enter my gloves, freezing my hands. I remember the pain in my feet and hands after a walk of 15 minutes from the bare cold. The last 7 years we have no longer experienced that. That's something I like😅.
I like the warming in winter and even the more frequent heatwaves. I feel more in holiday mood and my vitamin D deficiency has stopped. I no longer need to take vitamines for it.
What is more difficult is not the changing of the climate, but the much more frequent 'wheather bulbs': when the wheather just remains unchanged for a month or more. We used to have a very changeable wheather, one day rain, one day sun. Now we remain without rain for months, causing droughts and heatwaves, followed up by a month of unending rain, causing floods.
Also from Belgium, born in 1988 and I have the exact same experience as you. The change is dramatic and it seems to be accelerating in the last 5 years. It's is impossible to not see this unless someone wilfully doesn't want to see it. And I understand that winter is more pleasant and even that more heat and sunshine can be more pleasant. The problem is that it isn't going to stop there. One thing a lot of people don't know is that when CO2 is emitted, it takes between 10 and 20 years (estimates vary, 10 years is what the latest research says) to have its full impact on the climate. That means that we are now seeing the effects of emissions 10 to 20 years ago and that in turn means that we still have to see the effects of the crazy high emissions of the last decade. It also means that if we change our behaviour dramatically and cut down on CO2 emissions, it will take 10 to 20 years to really see the effects of that. There are a lot of scientists who say that keeping warming under 1.5°C is already impossible because the emissions to reach that level have already been released

That is not the case for someone born in 1998, because by the time they were starting to form memories, it had already changed quite dramatically, though far from as much as it has in the last 5-10 years. Quite scary, since what we're seeing now is the result of emissions that happened 10-20 years ago, not from our current emissions, those still haven't started having an effect
As a 30 year old, i don't remember them ever not talking about climate change or global warming. Like since 1993, we were constantly told how important it was to stop emissions at school and on the news. So what the hell were they actually doing all this time? I feel like my generation had no choice in this.

puede sonar estúpido , pero los reyes antiguamente colgaban a los que o talaban sus bosques o hacían caza , algunos pueden considerar eso como inhumano pero lo legado por los reyes en forma de bosques , arroyos , palacios , etc. para las generaciones futuras es impresionante
Los colgaban porque eran tierras exclusivas del rey, el era el único que podía talar y cazar ahí. No hay nada de ambientalista en esa política

i noticed it for a while. like when i was a child my fingers would turn blue from the cold. it was a struggle to keep my hands warm and i had to wear layers of clothing. past winters most days i didnt even wear a coat, a thick sweater sufficed, and my hands never got cold. it’s kinda terrifying

See any video by Tony Heller. He points out the historic past and it’s variability.
The warmest temperatures were in the 1930’s, with more days over 100°F than we’ve had for the past 30 years. Other years of heatwaves, with droughts and forest fires, were all greater in the past.
The Roman and medieval warm periods were much warmer than current. These global events assisted the Danes to settle and farm in a new land they called Greenland for several hundred years, and the English grew grapes to rival French wines. We can’t do these now because it’s too cold.
Those previous warm periods were all during times of lower CO2 levels.

Or, we just sit back and watch the car crash. Basically, are we re-active, or preventive?

I'm from southern Romania, around 150 kms away from the Capital City. Our winters used to be white: we had a ton of snow, but for the past decade we've had under 10 days of snow every winter (usually in January-February, but once it also snew in April for some reason). The heat during summer has become unbearable. The Temperature is constantly between 35-40*C During the day and i can't even stand being outside in the shade anymore. This entire Summer i stayed inside simply because of how unbearable it is to be outside. I was forced to move downstairs (my room is in the attic) due to how hot it is up there. We only have Water 10 Hours per day during Summer and usually the pressure is very low. It's gotten so bad that i cheer whenever it rains. We're eventually going to stop having Spring and Winter, instead we're only going to have Summer and Autumn if we continue at this rate: One dry season with constantly 40*C+ Weather and one wet season with bearable weather.

I hope schools integrate *rapid climate change* into the curriculum so that more people are educated about it. And I also want every single school in the world to stop talking about CFCs! Because they have been replaced with something far more efficient but still dangerous, HFCs. HFCs are not nearly as dangerous as CFCs, but they are still severely worse than CO2 or CH4 (methane). All or most of the ACs in the world currently have HFCs and no CFCs.

I grew up in central France only 2 decades ago, I remember in early 2000s how every winter had a lot of snow in Januray and February, how the temperature slowly rose until summer and then slowly decreased until winter. Now when I spend time there, and my family confirms it, the climate doesnt make sense anymore, it barely snows in winter if at all, the temperature can rise and fall sharply (Im talking 20°C or more between min and max) in just one or 2 days, the rivers are shockingly low, bugs are mostly gone.
Now I am part of the CNRS, am I allowed this video sounds naive? This year seems to be on track to, and probably will be the first one to be above +1.5, and if not it will be next year or most certainly during the next El Nino in the late 2020s. Taking into account the decrease in aerosols (we forbid some because they were destroying the ozone layer) which cooled the earth, the warming should accelerate in the coming years. Given how our current economic and political system do not and cannot efficiently tackle the issue, I dont see how we do not reach +3 and not +2 around 2050. And at +3, with oil resources scheduled to be depleted around 2060, it is game over.
The only solution to avoid collapse is to change the system built for the benefits of the few, so the many can change their ways of life, and fulfill their lives in art, society and science instead of economics.
I live now in southern France and i plan to leave asap, this summer, like the last, was unbearable. June to October (5 months!) at or above 30°C, with several weeks at 35 and one full week at 40 (at this point staying outside is dangerous), inside temperature between 27 and 29 including at night in July and August is not a life.
In my part of Canada the winters are warmer. BUT the summers are shorter and cooler.The growing season is noticeably shorter.
the west killed off the european peoples, there is nothing worth saving now, we should destroy planet in any way that is possible to us
7 yeara ago when I moved to Helsinki, 25 °C was considered warm summer day. And most days from Nov. 1 to April were snowing heavily. Last winter it was raining most of the time and froze down at nights. While we had above 20 °C almosy all summer. It will be 28 °C today. In middle of august... So I would say, these predictions are very optimistic... Maybe even most of europe will be barely habitable 10 years from now.... How can we make the world actually care?

The changes are already being felt, we had heavy rainfall events here in northwest Germany in the summer of 2017 and 2021, and it was also very bad over Christmas 2023. The summers of 2018 and 2019 were extremely hot and extremely dry for this region and it is only now in 2024, when we have had a wet period since fall 2023, that the water reservoirs have been somewhat replenished. There are currently far fewer storms from late fall to late winter. I live two kilometers from the North Sea and I doubt that it will still be possible to live here in 2100. I have only adjusted my insurance because we live just below sea level (my apartment is on the mezzanine floor just under one meter above sea level) and in the event of a burst dike, we could still be flooded by up to four meters according to risk maps. I'm beginning to think I won't even be able to live to the start of my retirement here in 2055, if I live to that age at all.
The best thing about climate change is that we can still limit it's effects.
So stop blaming china for emitting carbon producing consumer goods for you, and ask yourself if you really need all that crap.

Btw, the carbon /toxicity bootprint of the M. I. C anyone?
We can do a lot about past emissions (contrary to stated in this video) by capturing them (either by planting more trees or developing technology and infrastructure for it or doing both).
Studies shows that even if we planted trees and forest everywhere it would negate not more than a third of what we emit today. I mean, one third is huge but far from being enough. Trees are helping but its not the solution. And climate change will greatly increase tree mortality overall.
For technologies capturing CO2, I dont believe in it. We have millions of cars, planes industries and energy plants producing CO2 daily. Imagine how many "CO2 absorbing machines" we would need to offset that. And the amount of electricity that would be necessary.
Capturing CO2 is great but we can't rely on that, we need to stop emitting it first, very simply
@@jeremiebihin8150 We definitely need to cut emissions, but still that is not the only field to work on. Capture is a thing. I mean our emissions are enabled by burning captured stuff in hydrocarbons. We even have places to store it all - the same spots where we get our gas and oil out.
