Climate Change: The Water Paradigm

In this video, we explore why maintaining a healthy water cycle may be much more important for the health of the climate than people realize. In case you are wondering, I'm not suggesting that the greenhouse effect due to CO2 or methane is insignificant. But I do think that the importance of the water cycle has been grossly under-emphasized, and should occupy a more central position in environmental discourse.

I am currently working in land regeneration and rehabilitation, I never thought that I am helping the land heal but I moved into the profession after 10 years as a nurse and everyone told me "Oh, but you suit healing professions", looks like I went from one healing profession to another.

In short : plant more and climate change is out of the discussion or less severe ! Thanks for that animation. Very clear and informative. I recently learned that the start of the water cycle comes from the plants. Proof : where there are more plants, there is more humidity !

Unfortunately our societies ever increasing and belligerent dichotomy is not allowing intelligent and meaningful conversations like the one presented in this video, we either ignore and discredit the science or we are trying to pin down ecological villains. Agriculture is a prime example, many consider it to be a major contributor to the problem and will not recognise its potential as the greatest solution

@jonathanelijahbowes 3 года назад

But it is happening though. This video is proof it is happening. I, for one, am wittnessing a revolution & renaissance of thought! Maybe it's just my peer group, but shift is hitting the fan! Right now! We just need to keep being the messengers of POSITIVE, SIMPLE solutions and not pointing fingers or lamenting how hopeless the situation is.

@virginiarichter8200 3 года назад

This is wonderful and explains so much. Walter Jehne goes a bit further explaining hazes and clouds and how transpiration is crucial to the water cycle. Not only is the planet warming but he says the cloud cover is down 50%! If I've understood his lectures correctly, clouds need to be seeded to become rain clouds and bacteria released from trees is the largest and most important source. Another reason why no trees, no clouds/rain. All the emphasis on GHG is misplaced since decreasing how fast we warm the planet will NOT cool it but plants can and do. Oh, I wish everyone could see your video!

@PeterTodd 2 года назад

Thanks Virginia for mentioning Walter Jehne, he wasn't on my radar. Now I'm well into his discussions and science - it's brilliant!

@ianwise2457 2 года назад

Hydrology really is the missing factor that needs to be considered and accounted for; the elephant in the room. For those interested in learning more about hydrological impacts of climate change, Walter Jehne has some great knowledge. Oh and episode 37 of the Real Organic Podcast with Didi Pershouse is a must! This video is too important and too good for me not to comment! (Boosts engagement and makes it more likely to be recommended to others 😉) Spread the word, tell a friend. Knowledge is power, and it’s gonna take all of us working together to get things done!

I've been wanting to make an animated video specifically about what's covered in this one. You definitely covered some things I wouldn't have, but I was planning on focusing a bit more on soil and impervious surfaces such as pavement/houses etc and conventional agriculture. Whatever the case, this is awesome. Thank you so much for making it!

00:46 Such an excellent point: These events are not causes of climate change. These events ARE climate change. IOW More and more things (like extreme flood and drought) are better understood not as causes but the facets of climate change.

Just discovered your channel. You seem to create content that should be shown to more people. I'm commenting in the hopes that this will increase the likelihood of Google showing your videos to more people. If people in rural areas saw this video, it might inspire some to attempt to restore ecosystems by planting native trees. It might even get communities to collectively buy farmland to restore for the benefit of the community. Maybe farmers would consider planting trees across some of the edges of the farmland. Continue spreading knowledge. There is so much that could be done if the right people had the right knowledge.

@ethanunick83 19 дней назад

Great job you articulated the rather nuanced and lengthy paradigm that's also put forward by Walter Jehne. Jehne however offers that carbon is only 5% of the contributor to warming rather than 40% in this video. I wonder how the difference can be resolved.

@jean-louismacle3679 2 года назад

The video is very interesting. We could probably find expressions of climate change beyond floods or droughts.

@Tanderhorses 3 года назад

Please consider when discussing the impaction of soil that it is not only "plowing" the ground by agriculture but that homes, subdivisions, and pavement in the cities have an impact on runoff and groundwater.

@owennilens8892 Год назад

I wish this would also have covered: - how paving is also trapping heat in cities and preventing water from getting into the ground - how the melting and not refreezing of glaciers is also impacting the water cycle

@micgalvin78 3 года назад

Correction: Water vapour content that a runaway greenhouse effect is measured by only increases the heat index not air temperature and has a regulatory and cooling function through evaporative cooling, low pressure, clouds, and precipitation. Clouds overall have a cooling effect reducing solar radiation by day and slowing the rate of heat loss at night.

@thenakedrepairman7218 2 года назад

Good video. We need desalination plants every 500 miles in the USA below Oregon and the same level on the East coast and the bottom of the USA. Pump water back under ground. To refill the aquifers and coop the ground. Keep plants on the surface. Keep forests from drying out and catching fire and releasing MORE CO2 than fossil fuels. 7.1 million acres of forest fires in the USA in 2021 released over 15 billion cars worth of CO2. 6000 cars worth per hectare. If oxeans are increasing in Salinity probably because we mine salt and feed it to people and livestock and then it all gets flushed back into treatment centers and into oceans. We need to balance our water system. Water out and equal water back in.

gotta love the cheering at the end, just do x y z and the problem solves itself, dont worry about it. i mean, we know about climate change since 1980's and we did alot since then to prevent it right? like phasing out fossil fuels, that we for example also need in plant fertilizers. now you look at how the climate change will affect certain areas where crops are grown you realize hmm.. now we get less area to plant crops, we have to move away from fossil fuels that means less fertilizers? well how are we going to feed all the humans?so im just going to protest infront of an excavator while trying not to die from the floods, the tornados and increasing food and energy prices and that will fix the problem?? gotcha !

@@dustinthewind3925 We cant do it. our whole civilization is entirely build on fossil fuels, we cant cut them off otherwise we already did. media is controlled by rich people and goverments that dont want you to panic, but in reality they dont have a plan on what to do. in germany the renewables for example are only ready 2030 at the very latest. All the IPCC reports said prior to 2020 that a warming over 1.5°C is apocalyptic, they said that lol. and we can are going on a warming for 2°C in 2030, the artic is melting and loosing dramatic amounts of ice, the more its loosing the faster its warming, most of the worlds methane is trapped at a specific region near the arctic, what you think is going to happen? The runway climate change is already triggered, its not about survival, and we wont be able to survive if panic starts too early.
