@@someguy2135 support hunting wild game then. That does a wonderful job of making people invested in keeping it wild.

@@joanneh2819 There isn't enough wild game to replace animal agriculture. Especially with the growing demand for meat. The good news is that meat is not needed for humans to thrive. The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially said so. "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." As stated earlier, vegans have lower rates of ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and multiple types of cancer. That was the finding of the peer reviewed Adventist Studies. Link to the study at my channel under "About" then "Chronic."

Haha, joke's on you! 2023's summer was the hottest month on record too! Now I'm waiting for a 2024 person to tell me that their summer was the hottest on record, let's keep this chain going and see how far we get!

Yes it was

But I bet that there is a very smart social scientist working on that issue right now figuring out why we are so stupid."* *UNFORTUNATELY: The whole science system is rigged AGAINST finding solutions! Even Stephen Hawkings is nowadays bullying social scientists by saying they are just as esoteric as religion. Even the mere existence of intention and free will, and thus RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS is being contested.* *We are doomed.*

+duckmanjoel Keep telling yourself that, and you action are supreme and faultless, and you can relax and dont give a fuck about anything

Most animal and plant life would be exterminated aswell.

The planet will. The rest of its inhabitants, on the other hand, could quite possibly go extinct.

See if you can figure out why most people refuse to do the most effective way for an individual to fight climate change. "..guess what? That is still not enough to convince me to stop eating meat..."

What a coincidence I'm saving the world too! I'm writing a paper on why people can't change behaviors even when they are told to by the majority mob.

@@someguy2135 do you have the farm land buddy?

@@BrewmasterN8 No I don't. I live in the USA where our government now heavily subsidizes animal agriculture and the crops that farm animals eat. I favor changing those subsidies to incenivize growing crops for humans, and crops like hemp and trees which capture and sequester CO2. Fruit and nut trees do both. Hemp seeds are edible. My nephew owns and operates a cattle farm in South Dakota. I want him to prosper, but animal agriculture is currently too costly for us and future generations. Especially raising cattle and sheep. They are major causes of deforestation and methane, which is 80 times more potent than CO2 in the first 20 years! IF you don't boycott all animal based foods, at least boycott beef, mutton, and lamb!

@@BrewmasterN8 "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford. Joseph Poore switched to a plant based diet after seeing the results of the study. Links at my channel under "About."

As far as i know, partly. It is a stream, and streams tend to take things with it. So it powers te message in a bottle, if youre in the carribean, because it would transport it to england. But SURELY WONT affecr you when youre on hawaii.. You know?

+Manabender lol no, message in a bottle works in lakes and rivers as well which have different processes driving the movement. If you re bottle is in the ocean then, yes, kind of. theres deep circulation as well also saline exchanges and carbon compensation depths, a lot of factors in play here....i would think of it more like a deep circulating 'conveyor belt' mixing and transporting nutrients by upwelling and downwelling + takes 1000 years to cycle. Theres a lot to it....

+Manabender Well if you were to send one in Antarctica it would eventually come back to you, which is something I always thought was comical.

I respectfully disagree with you. It's not denial, what he means is, we know about this but we're not fixing it.

Yes, I am describing exactly that. So I guess you are disagreeing with using the word "denial" to mean "knowing something is real but living as if it is not real"? Unless you have a better word/concept, I think this one fits.

best comment on youtube

I agree but what you described isn't really denial it's actually more like acceptance

Climate is always changing, you self righteous schmuck.

+Deutsches Haus I don't disagree that we as humans have fucked shit up and are continuing to do so, however climate change has happened before many times, he says so in this video. The earth warms and cools on it's own, the only difference this time around we've speed it up. Also under developed countries do their fair share of damage.

Lone Wanderer That climate change has occurred before for reasons other than human activity is not a valid or relevant argument against the initiative to reduce carbon emissions.

Deutsches Haus I think it's valid, the people who talk about climate don't ever acknowledge that climate change has happened before, that it's not a man made thing. I'm not trying to take away the seriousness of it or the impact we have as a species we've fucked the planet up in more ways than one.

+Lone Wanderer No it's aknowledged that climate change has happened before, at least in the climate change science community if not us regular people. Except these warming periods are in cycles of like 40000 years and according to those cycles we're actually suppose to be in a cooling period leading up to another ice age. Other natural phenomenon that can change a climate mostly have a cooling effect, the most common argument being volcanoes, yeah they spew sulphur and CO2 which heat the earth but they also spew ash which blocks out the sun and negates it . What makes this one man made is that the levels of green house gases are way off the charts compared to the natural cycles and they only skyrocketed with in the last 100 years which is when humans switched from coal to oil. Which again was extremely odd considering the earth is suppose to be cooling down. The other thing the scientists mention is that the ice age started with a global temperature change of 2*

Lone Wanderer Its simply not that relevant.

Yes please 😍

Yep there's been notable changes, the world's got colder. LOL

This is already the updated version. The alarm began back in the 80's, set off by James Hansen. Every year since then we've been reminded that "if we don't do something really drastic NOW, we'll have only (5, 10, 15, 20, etc. take your pick) years before THE END."

Yep. Some notable changes: - we've broken more heat records, especially with 2 more european heatwaves in 2019 - global emissions have reached an all time high - Storms, wildfires and floods have gotten worse. (California) - The arctic is literally on fire - Some Islands have been lost ( www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/may/10/five-pacific-islands-lost-rising-seas-climate-change ) And we need action more urgently than ever.

@@Stwinge44 your link doesnt work

Capt777harris And why is that?

Capt777harris I've heard this as well, I think it is a combination of all of the theories put forward, not just 1 or the other.

Capt777harris Yes, but evidence still supports the co2 as well, so it more likely than not is a multitude of factors.

Garbad Kishkashta my back hurts = climate change its a propaganda...and its true as water

Let's put it nicely folks... if the sun's output was changed we would f***ing notice. This is probably because obviously the rate or materials of fusion in the sun would have to change for it to happen. So let's start with fusion rates. I'll admit it changes but not in a fashion that matches global warming. It heats up and cools down in average every 5 years. Not over the last hundred that climate change has been happening. If it had been you would also be blaming the sun for putting extra carbon on the earth somehow even though it is almost 144 million km away. Now for the fuel types if the material of fusion was to change the sun would balloon very quickly and we would all be consumed by the sun also it would have to be about a few million years older than it acts. Hate to be preachy, thank you all.

+violin There are plenty out there, really, depending on what you consider "stupid." Check out almost any studies conducted for the sake of advertising or marketing, and you'll see some pretty astonishing things about which brain functions are simultaneously responsible for both our survival and idiocy.

Which is exactly what religious zealots say about their scriptures. Try telling a Muslim that the Quran isn't true. True science is demonstration and True science does not support " the consensus "

​@@rhedinrage1601 Well none of these have been disproven and have built up our understanding in morale and philosophy, I think it is best not to bring religion into this

@@rhedinrage1601 well unlike religious claims scientific ones can be confirmed/falsified, and by how things are going we are going to have to find out 🤷‍♀️

No profit, no action. Rich people are likely rich because of their businesses, and the stockholders are really who decides whether a business can live. You see, when you start a business, you will likely need investors, people who dump money on your idea in the hopes that they can sell their claim to your idea to another guy for a higher price, before you can do anything. If, by some miracle, you manage to obtain the funding for a business without investors, another big business who already uses them and their vast amounts of money will come along and destroy you. So, your only option is to go public (publicly sell stock in your company) and grab the huge profits available. Of course, your stockholders don't just want you to give that money to some worthy cause, they want you to invest it back into your company so your stock gets more expensive and they can sell what they own to another guy and make money. Also, you probably want/need more than a short burst of money, so your company has to increase in value at a fast enough pace that you can sell people more stocks without devaluing the stocks already out there. If you do something that changes that steady stream of profits that keep your stocks going up in value, your stockholders will get angry and realize that they probably wont make any money off you. At this point, many will decide that, if they sell their stocks in your company now, they will lose less money on your stocks. Soon, everyone wants to sell the stocks to your company. With a huge supply of stock to go around and an incredibly low amount of demand for that stock, your stocks now plummet in value. So, when the proprietors of a company want to make the inner workings of their business destroy the Earth less, the stockholders get spooked by the amount they spent on their company that isn't driving the price of stocks up at that moment and destroy the company in the stock market. Now, the owners of this company might be a bit annoyed about this, but it makes them money so they don't give a s***. The real problem lies not with the leaders of the companies, but with the way capitalism itself is currently working. We need to either change the way the economy works so it isn't profitable for companies to pollute the environment or straight out ban these activities. In the end, you should never have to trust a company with the fate of anything in which the wrong answer involves money. They have no moral compasses, their endeavors are almost completely driven by economic gain. This is where the government is supposed to come in and help, but American capitalism prevents it from doing so and, therefore, companies can pretty much do whatever makes their pockets the heaviest.

SbotTV So true. Companies care about climate change no more than the money it brings them.

SbotTV true, but have you heard of Elon Musk? There still are people who can make saving a planet beneficial.

SbotTV Rich people get rich from the money you and I hand them over. We can seek change with our purchases and daily activities.

Where does your magic electricity come from? Wind? Know off hand how many migratory birds die each year or perhaps what native species are uprooted and disturbed by the sonic noise pollution?

Oh dear I'm sure it's due to CACCA (catastrophic anthropogenic climate change alarmism)

Climate Change Is Natural lets say you have a bucket, that fills with a drop of water ever 30 seconds. once the bucket reaches a certain point it tilts over and poors out it contents to begin the cycle again. This is a very basic way of looking at the natural cycle. Now, let's say you have a group that is pooring that dumped water back into the bucket (along with it's natural trickles), it will fill up quicker and cause the cycle to accelerate. That's the scenerio. The previous trickle of water represents the influences on climate change naturally (volcanoes, organisms metabolizing, solar cycles) we are taking all that stored carbon and all that stored methane and dumping, accelerating the process.

Tom Birmingham Your simplistic analogy and understanding of climate is inadequate to describe the true complexity of it. The climate is in constant flux, and has been long before we were influencing it. The climate has survive large upswings in C02 levels, caused by volcanic eruptions and world war 2 without a problem, it normalizes on it's own. The naive belief that we are the upsetting some magically delicate balance is not supported by chemical measurements and stomata records of C02, or by reconstructions of temperature via ice core and tree ring data. There is no evidence of any runaway greenhouse effect as caused by C02, There are processes which help regulate excess C02, even if it's man made. Plants for example, will take some of it out the atmosphere to spur their growth,

Climate Change Is Natural nope, you're being condescending and dismissive within the first couple of lines. IF you bothered to read my posts, you'd see that I mentioned the natural cycle. I also discussed how burning millenia's worth of stored carbon is not natural and will alter the time tables of a cycle. It's even put in a nice and easy to understand allegory with the water buckets for a guy like you to understand. As for that tidal level you just mentioned, those are tracked for the last 150 years using tidal charts for maritime purposes (you know, so the draft of large cargo vessels didn't get stuck on the shore at low tide)... Well if you managed to just plug those numbers into a simple excell sheet and then graph it you'll see the cumulative increases. it's at a 10% increase per year right now and will be up to a total 7 inch increase from current levels in 20 years. (it's up 10" from the beginning of the charts) .... in 20 years it will be at an annual 1" increase if current growth rates continue and we don't know when the growth rates will level off and a new homeostasis is met. cock sucker.

Climate Change Is Natural oh yeah ,and fuck your shitty charts too, you paid troll. www3.epa.gov/climatechange/science/indicators/oceans/acidity.html

The very existence of the ipcc depends on climate fear. That and the fact a concensus is not science. The 2,000 fully paid scientists that headed the ipcc, many will not return due to beibg so disparaging about it. And on top of that, compare the petition of over 31,000 scientists who signed up to say its essentially bullshit. I will now leave you with google. ;)

m1aws LOL the oregon petition? so you care what a doctor and a lawyer have to say about the climate system? the consensus is among experts, as uusal for a consensus. and consensus is pretty important in science. and a consensus forms based on the evidence. but when you include just everyone that claims to be a scientist, 31 000 and 9 000 phds is not very impressive, especially when you consider that the US alone gives out 40 000 phds each years. and the oregon petition is very old. if anything the petition shows how small the denier fringe group is.

Aanthanur DC thank you for reinforcing my point. Every single one of them is a registered scientist with a field relevant to GW. Note how many of the IPCC are political scientists marking the work outside of their educational and vocational remit. Then you'll never be able to quote two out of almost 32,000.

m1aws "Every single one of them is a registered scientist with a field relevant to GW." lol no, why do you lie about this? their own homepage debunks your lie. www.petitionproject.org/qualifications_of_signers.php Medicine (3,046) 1. Medical Science (719) 2. Medicine (2,327) General Engineering & General Science (10,102) 1. General Engineering (9,833) I) Engineering (7,280) II) Electrical Engineering (2,169) III) Metallurgy (384) care to explain how those are relevant fields to climatology? So the largest group they list are engineers. how is engineering in any way relecant to understanding the climate system?

Aanthanur DC I'm an engineer with a lot of knowledge about CO2.. FFS! Spent YEARS on developing/building IR cameras which encroached into the chemical sciences. Metallurgy is same. If you have no idea about the properties of materials, especially Carboxyls, you should not be on the petition. So tell me, what has political scientists in the IPCC got to do with the climate?... Hmmm.

nope

There is no reason not to refine and optimize sources of energy, its simply that the way that the governments and other organizations are going about it is wrong. How does taxing the use of coal and other natural energy sources make it energy cleaner? If you want new and clean energy, let human creation do its thing and innovate new technologies to make energy cleaner.

Semper Studios A way to make cleaner energy sources economically viable (Like CPVs, as Hank explained in SciShow's episode on solar power) is to discourage the use of coal and similarly harmful fuel sources through taxes. People would rather deteriorate the entire planet than have to spend a bit more to keep the air conditioner running. If you make the harmful alternative more expensive, people will be more willing to invest in clean sources of energy.

For someone who is asking for some better discussion, suggesting that "Carbon taxes to Al Gore" is suggesting the kettle is black while being the pot. Also, word to the wise, if someone calls on people to "wake up", there is a good chance that they believe most people are willfully ignorant. "meanwhile the company doesn't change it's practices" ... yes, increasing the cost of doing business has never changed the way that companies do things /sarcasm. If you're looking to be helpful, instead of just saying "so many logical fallacies", make a post time marked with the fallacies he is making.

David Devine Wow... a quote miner... Where to start... "For someone who is asking for some better discussion, suggesting that "Carbon taxes to Al Gore" is suggesting the kettle is black while being the pot." You can't even formulate a coherent sentence. What does that even mean? I mean if I read into it, I figured out that you are trying to imply that I'm a hypocrite for using some witty nods to Al Gore in my reply, but frankly, when I read your reply. All I see is a person who is looking to be a troll. "Also, word to the wise, if someone calls on people to "wake up", there is a good chance that they believe most people are willfully ignorant." You make a lot of assumptions about me on a personal level... But in a way you are right. I DO think many, maybe even most people are ignorant. The willful part is a big variable, but I think many of them are willfully so yes. Am I wrong to assume that many people are ignorant to the big picture of what is going on around them? If most people are NOT ignorant, why do we have so many problems in the world that revolve around people being ignorant? Do you disagree that many base their reactions to complex issues like this on gut instinct or worse, propagandized information and do not actually look at both sides of an issue? Telling people in general to wake up is a figure of speech, it only has a negative tone if you want it to. I didn't say "YOU David need to wake up." I said "People need to wake up." Do you disagree that some people need to wake up to the truth that is all around them? I had to wake up to the truth of a lot of issues. Everyone does. Or are you perfect or do you believe nobody can make mistakes or be ignorant? "meanwhile the company doesn't change it's practices" ... yes, increasing the cost of doing business has never changed the way that companies do things /sarcasm. Uhm... I presume you are intending to suggest that carbon taxes force companies to be more environmentally friendly? Is that it? While it is true that some do... In most cases, they just absorb the costs by passing the cost on to the consumer. Either by making YOU pay for the carbon tax by raising the cost of the product. OR Making you pay for the new improvements to the way they do business by again, increasing cost of the product. You are aware that in most cases the corporations most guilty of polluting and causing so many of these ecological problems, are behind the same people who write the regulations right? They make these fines so smaller industries can't survive getting fined or taxed, and yet the big corporation can easily absorb the costs. "If you're looking to be helpful, instead of just saying "so many logical fallacies", make a post time marked with the fallacies he is making." How would that be helpful? It would be a waste of time and only useful from an anecdotal perspective. My entire point (which you conveniently ignored just to troll me) was that whether you accept Anthropogenic Climate change or not, it is entirely reasonable to expect people to do the right thing for the environment, but also to be careful about what solutions we choose to solve the problems pollution causes. The politics of Climate Change are absolutely despicable, both those who act like they are trying to stop it (Al Gore for example), and those who profit from destroying the environment (Big oil etc). The average person is lost in a mess of propaganda and ultimately nothing is being done about the actual problem! Climate Change is real! That much is a fact. However how extreme it's effects will be and how much of a role humans have in the process is still being debated. This means we NEED to be careful about how much of the propaganda we drink regardless of the source. Hank included. Not everyone claiming to be fighting for the environment has your (or the worlds) best interest at heart. Trust me on that. The ones who point their fingers at YOU are the first ones you need to suspect as being full of shit. The most they can blame you for is being a consumer. It's not your fault how industries make products, or how much your car pollutes things. Sure you can do things at home like limit hot showers, and use less electricity. But thats just good common sense! Those who don't keep these energy uses low, pay more already as it is. But making me pay more for a TV because some company in Hong Kong uses a dirty factory to make them, doesn't make me buy less TV's or look for more environmentally friendly factories. I'm already looking for the most efficient appliance I can to keep my bills low. So how will taxing the company, who then raises the cost of my TV solve the issue? Please, explain that to me. In detail. Otherwise, go fuck off... Stroking your intellectual Ego by quote mining and nit picking my comment is just mental masturbation... go jack off somewhere else.

***** I think I agree with every sentiment, so long as that individual contribution is voluntary and encouraged on a social level (Peer to peer, like you telling me - Hey dem, why don't you plant a tree?... which is ironic, because till I get my degree I work for a family tree nursery hehehe). The one area where I DO sound like a raving lunatic is that I tend to believe in tinfoil hat conspiracies. I think of it this way, the evidence I see, proves to me that there is some kind of unified conspiracy going on to create a 1 world government and rule the world under an authoritarian technocratic autocracy. One of the tools they are using is environmentalism. Which sucks on so many levels it makes me want to scream. Because on one hand, you have the people who buy into all the green stuff, not realizing how much power they are giving to these monsters, and on the other you have the folks who go to the other extreme (out of spite to no small degree) and believe that man can't harm their environment. Anyway that aspect of the issue isn't one I'm looking to argue, because even if I am wrong and there isn't a global plot going on. The problem with the politicizing of this issue remains. It just gets downgraded to mere organized corruption, not global conspiracy. LOL anyway, assuming you aren't laughing hysterically at my tinfoil hat reply, thanks for the polite agreeable comment :)

D3mang3l I don't know about anyone else but I'm down for a one world government. Have you seen Star Trek?

It is surprising that you claim that I'm trolling you. I am neither trying to get a rise out of you (to gain some kind of happiness that I was able to control your emotions) nor am I off topic. You held the video to a higher standard than you were willing to contribute (it had to be a good discussion, but you weren't willing to contribute to that, specifically, as I noted, by going after the 'Al Gore taxes'). As I note later on, it is a common strategy of those who do something to claim that the other person is doing it so as to paint both with the same brush. I suggest, thus, that you were trolling the comment thread, hoping that someone like myself would respond. ****** "Wow... a quote miner" ... and yet the first thing you do is quote me back. "You can't even formulate a coherent sentence. ... but frankly, when I read your reply. All I see is a person who is looking to be a troll." ... says the fellow who decides to throw a period in the middle of their sentence (and even capitalizes the first word of the next sentence!) And if you may, if the sentence I used was incoherent, please point out in what way it was. You asked for better discussion but your response used sound bites ... that's not a discussion, hence you asked for something but were unwilling to do it, thus you were being hypocritical. Please list the assumptions I have made about you personally. (Answering your questions, rhetorical or otherwise) ****** It means you are being hypocritical. Yes you are wrong to assume most people are ignorant. Many of the problems we have with in the world are not due to ignorance, but intransigence, where people are unwilling to change what they do because it would cost them too much (power, money, etc.). What one deems to be propaganda usually depends on which side of the argument one is on, as the one unwilling to rely on the facts has no choice but to use it and call the other a propagandist; it is a common practise to claim your opponent is doing exactly what you are doing. If you reduce the subset from 'people' as you seem to be primarily using it to refer to most people, and instead restrict it to 'some people', you could reduce your argument to say that if two people need to wake up about an issue, your statement would be useful and helpful. I am neither perfect nor do I believe that nobody can make mistakes. As noted above, you can reduce your intended audience to just two people who could make those mistakes, but the likelihood of reaching them through this venue is low. Yes I am suggesting that carbon taxes force companies to be more environmentally friendly. At least trying to reduce their carbon footprint (as one can have a small carbon footprint but be environmentally unfriendly and vice versa). Yes that is it. It would be helpful to point out the logical fallacies because you seem to be able to detect them, and thus can both warn others against them and encourage the author to revise their work to remove them. Taxing the corporation for specific activities that are contributing to global warming can make them alter their behaviour such that they will be less likely to perform those activities. Alternatively, it would allow another company that avoids such taxes to be able to win the customer over to their product, so the more environmentally friendly product wins out. Consider your dirty Hong Kong factory. If a nation slaps a carbon tax on that product, it will cost more than it used to. This will reduce customer demand for that product. A sufficiently large carbon tax would price that TV out of the market. Certainly the TV that doesn't use as much carbon may cost more to produce before the carbon tax is applied, but the goal of carbon taxes is to include all externalized costs to a product. If you saw a TV that was $400 and one that was $500, but otherwise the same in quality, you seem to indicate that you would purchase the $400 one. It wouldn't matter to you, the customer, that the $400 cost $400 before the carbon tax, and the $500 cost $300 before the carbon tax, you only see the end result. ****** Your choice to use swear words has indicated the level of conversation you are actually interested in having, and so, I leave it to you. Good day.

Predispose of the chemicals in the chemistry lab*

Do you own an oil company?

Hi, I'm in 2115. Thankfully we got rid of the Church of Climatology and stamped out their zealots. We used another hundred years of oil to help us break the Fusion problem and now we literally make petrol out of the air, sometimes even on other planets. Also many of us live in space so we can get some peace and quiet at night.

@_FABER_ yeah, to end this nonsense. For 50 years I've witness the alarmism that everything is going to be too late in 10 years to stop (insert man-made global eco disaster here) and was promised Mass die offs 20-25 years. The world everywhere I look the environment is cleaner and in better shape than before I was a kid (except communist China, North Korea, India and the farmer Soviet block Nations. Still environmental disasters) Either way, it started out with true environmentalist and people who truly believed what they are doing was right. Today's environmental movement is a thinly veiled attempt at hiding the fact that they are all Marxist Communists now. Pending environmental disaster is why the government will have to control and dictate everything. That'll include your behavior, (non-environmental behavior that is)

Actually yes it has, sea level rise, extreme heat wave, droughts, storms, stuff like that. Yes it does not seem like much now, but things are going to get worse over the course of the next century. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but definitely in our kids lifetimes and especially their kids lifetimes. Human civilization in its current form can’t survive a climate that’s 4°C higher than mid 20th century levels, we may reach those levels as early as 2100. The dangerous 1.5°C threshold could be met sometime in the 2030’s. We are 1.2°C now of warming, 0.4°C more than when this video was made in 2012. Yes the world won’t end, but it will be a slow decline of our planets systems. Earth will be fine, we may not be.

Why?

No your son isnt going to die, he may just have to move to higher grounds. Its ther people in poor countries who are going to die.

TheMaximalBeing 2 Science is fake and has mislead you all in the path of satan. Seek salvation through our god, our lord *Jason Genova* through his messenger and our *prophet sweet prince Andrew (Gains be upon him)* the youtube channel delray misfits will lead you to everlasting life. it sick, it piss amen fuck jesus christ

delray gunnr um...

Best thing you can do for the environment is not have kids

aint wrong

You're not an environmentalist. To actually save a world from seven billion people you have to accept a series of truths that a 14 year old is not capable of understanding yet. We are beyond the point of clean energy doing enough to stop the massive sixth extinction. You want your children to grow up what, you're 14. If you want the world to be clean for your children, enlist in the military at 18 and hope for a lot of non nuclear combat. Smoking cigarettes is not even a top one hundred environmental factor of wild fires. The world is on fire now whether people choose to get lung cancer or not.

First of all...you have a good heart it seems but even though nuclear power is effecient its a big problem when thinking about how badly secruity is handled and considering the nuclear waste we have problems getting rid of. Also, smoking causes wild fires when you are a stupid dipshit who tosses his cigarette stumps in dry areas, so public disposal of such should not be legal, as the risk is too high, just as with all other trash not belonging in nature, unless its biodegradable and does not contain harmful substances. Generally its of course bad for someone but same counts for Alcohol and many prescribed medicines, even our food to some degrees, even worse in america, im in germany here and theres atleast not that much crap in there, but still a lot of course.

Why enlist in the military? So we can support the bloodshed between rich nations leaders and politicans and lobbyists, that would never give their lives for us? If there is war, someone has to fight. If theres no one to fight aka all the people unite, they can of course still fire their nuclear weapons and all. But it would not do any good. For whom? There wont be anyone to wipe their asses after the war then. Stell dir vor es ist Krieg, und keiner geht hin.

Ikr, biggest mistake ever.

Not at all. Cow farts are endangered.

Absolutely, Im so glad that i don't have to explain my self to you.

+Kenny Short Cows don't fart carbondioxside ,they burb it

+Ingemar Magnusson ...

Well, they have a point... livestock are the largest contributor to CO2 production

I refuse to die a cold, miserable, lonely death with the government telling me what to eat, when i drive, how much of anything I am allowed. Thankfully I'm a " climate change denier " so I get to live with autonomy and accept responsibility for my own choices.

+Noah Terrell Those with vested interest in polluting industries such as manufacturing and refining lobby scientists and politicians to tell us that everything is fine and because we trust all scientists and politicians we believe it. People who run oil companies or any huge corporation that would lose money if sanctioned or levied to lower their emissions would put the interests of a few thousand shareholders ahead of the lives of billions. Makes you proud to be human, no?

+Henry Butcher The Arctic SEA ice is growing. This displaces the same volume of water as its mass, in other words it might as well be melted - the sea level would be the same.

***** There are many reasons, one that I found regarding Antarctic sea ice (I assume the same logic applies for Arctic sea ice) is ozone depletion above Antarctica, causing stratospheric cooling which leads to higher winds which in turn allows for formation of ice on open water (Gillett & Thompson, 2003). Basically, it's a complex system of many contributing factors which can easily be researched. I'm no climate scientist so I can't really provide more than that besides saying that there's plenty more accredited scientific papers out there supporting this idea than ones opposing it.

Kilgore Trout Breakfast of Champions!

"I'm pretty sure". Someone hasn't checked their sources :)

Keep telling yourself that ;)

Just a tip if you want people to "by" into your reasoning: Citing a source is more convincing than a snarky cliche.

Pal, I'm giving up into developing long arguments, just saying what I KNOW, I don't give three fucks if anyone believes me or not, if you're really interested in finding out the truth go look for it yourself instead of having others do the research for you. But accepting blindly that the author's right and I'm not is pretty lazy, don't you think?

lol. I'm "giving up into" trying to understanding what in the world you're talking about. I guess I should know by now that giving only two fucks or less is all it takes to make a youtube comment. edit: Shoot, I knew I shouldn't have made a reply to this.

+Haleigh P watch some of bill nyes videos, he has a lot of hope for the future, and with some of the technology that may be coming we might just be alright:)

Thanks for the recommendation! I love Bill Nye so I'll check it out

Spend a little time looking at the very rational rebuttals to the climate change hype and focus yourself on issues that are actually manmade - like plastic in the oceans. Think - if all the money pumped into the climate change hysteria had been targeted at that issue instead?

Haleigh P Now, try imagining how depressive It will be to exist under those terrible conditions. I stick with overcoming the feeling now and trying to do something about it than avoiding the feeling now and feeling waaaay worst as time passes by Peace.

Don't know why but I agree. A sudden decline of the human population may lead to less CO2 emissions...

A zombie apocalypse means nuclear reactors left unattented. Life will survive but it'll mostly be roaches

@@xyzd70 Hey nuclear winter would bring the global temperature down

Hey I’m a zawwwmbie..

Get back to the basics. Reduce our need for complicated electronics and other technologies that use toxins to produce them, allow the water system to flow freely, ie remove all damns on the planet. Actually live within the ecosystem instead of changing it to suit our needs. That would be a start. Will it happen, no, could it happen, most likely not. What can you do? what you believe is right and hope it influences others to live a better cleaner life. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Not that hard really.

Ouch, this hurts. Why unleash such rage? I was being facicious. You crossed the line here. There's no need for such hostility. I'm truly sorry for whatever is upsetting you.

"Go buy something" That's been the american way for over a century.

short of mass genocide, deindustrialisation, and indoctrination of the next generation not much

Yep, that was my point.

Well, better start lootin'!

You obviously listen to Fox News.

Matthew Wal 1 - Anthropogenic climate change is climate CHANGE. It doesn't state that there will never be a cold day anywhere ever again. *Global temperatures* rise. 2 - Ice is not at a record high. Surface area increased, not volume. 3- Storms are becoming stronger. No question on that. 4- In the 1800's, it was not 10 degrees hotter. If that were true, there would be no human race left. -_-

Science bitch

If it was 10 degrees hotter in the 1800's I'm fairly certain that 95% of the species on Earth wouldn't be around anymore (including us).

Global warming refers to the fact that the overall planet temperature on average has increased, that can mean that extreme cold and hot weather will happen in certain areas of the planet as well as the other things you've mentioned (at least the increase in the severity of hurricanes and tornados and such weather, I've yet to find any study showing a decrease in overall tornados or hurricanes or overall weather). Again, I state: Here are 4 possible outcomes based on whether we do or don't act and if climate change is real or not. 1) We act, climate change is real, we help stop our planet from dying while at the same time creating new technology that drives new industries that creates jobs. 2) We act, climate change is not real, we at least have created new energy technologies to compete with oil and coal (yay competition). 3) We don't act, climate change is not real, nothing happens in any way. 4) we don't act, climate change is real, our planet changes where it can no longer support human life, we all die. Out of the 4 possibilities, we see that 2 are good, 1 is no change, and the other is bad, really bad. Why don't we try to do something again?

Are you for real or is this a troll?

***** Not true. Our planet can can support with food more than 10 billion people easily.

This right here. This man. This is why I am never having kids. :D

Global warming has to do with 2 things (apart from natural causes): the ecological footstep of people and simply the AMOUNT of people. This is a fact. So yes, a smaller population obviously slows down or reverses global warming. The logics in this are pretty damn simple.

SinisterSkip Nope, not even close. Not a fact. Not scientific. We do have an effect, but not one that is measurable in any other way than theory, because it is too small to be measured directly. That being said, I wish people would limit themselves to children that THEY could support. That alone would curb an out of control growth of dependant ignorant masses eager to believe this sort of swill and begging to be shorn and corralled to save the planet.

I think they actually did a video about that, or maybe it was Ted-ed.

Teagan P I'll try to find it. Thanks!
