Many parts of the world soon uninhabitable if we don't act on climate crisis faster | DW News 

We are more busy fighting each other instead.

Because corporations are inventivized to make money for themselves at the expense of the environment. You know this!

The answer to the question is easy. Those who profit and earn bilions don't want to.

In Australia, we are so tough we enjoy wildfires, floods and cyclones, whatever doesn't kill us will make us stronger, that's why our governments keep approving new coal mines and gas fields as fast as they can. And the Great Barrier Reef looks so good in pristine white, reminiscent of Greek and Roman antiquities!

We let saudi arabia organize the meeting to decide what to do.

Can't reduce emissions without reducing fossil fuel use.

Why are we so surprised! We have already talked about climate changes for decades... The governments all over the world has known this for a long time. So wake up! Spesially the U.S and china. Do more and faster. Greetings from Norway❤

The majority of people living on the Earth don't matter! It's only the 1% opinions that matter! 😢

By the time real climate action and policy actually are implemented, it will be 3-5 degrees higher, and the world will be very unlike the one we live in now. So disappointing that world governments and corporations maintain the status quo while all other species and habitats suffer for their greed and inaction. We are in for a rough ride everybody, so buckle down. Like my mom often says in her old age, "I'm glad I'll soon be checking out and not have to deal with all that is coming".

Ban private yacht&private jets. But too bad, the owners of personal yacthes&planes usually are wealthiest members of humanity, so taking away their personal water&air vehicles will never happen.

Wonder when the CEOs from many Media groups start to give the example and open hand of their private jets and luxury cars. Their personal resources consumption is the equivalent of many thousands of people.

There are more underlying mechanisms causing global warming with feedback loops all interconnected. Humanity is speeding up and magnifying this round. It can not be stopped and it is a grim picture.

The Keeling Curve is now floating near 427 ppm and looking likely to reach 430 ppm by June this year. Last year's maximum was barely 425 ppm so C02 levels not showing any signs of declining in the rate of increase.

People should show the rise in renewable energy against total energy usage to put it in perspective. Not just electricity, but all energy. It's only a few percent. Also, nobody talks about exponential growth and why we're doomed.

Profit is more important than human life to the Oligarchy who owns everything in the world.

Aren't China and India still building Coal fired power plants?

what a great news for my morning coffee break, proves that this planet doesnt need us but we need it

Nothing will happen in time. Short term profits will remain paramount. Let's face it: Our species is dumb.

"many", not a very quantitative description.

She forgot to mention that in addition to renewables , the production & consumption of fossil fuels is also increasing.😂

The problem is not messaging. The problem is that people don't want to change their lifestyles. Imagine people believe that electric cars are the answer to replace regular cars. Consumption is the problem.

Well done on the coral ❤️❤️

Uninhabitable places are desirable to a select few who like freedom more than society. The lack of habitability is a desirable feature to defend against intrusion by authoritarians.

on more time, from the top: People who profit from climate change: 1. Know who they are. 2. Are rich from the profits of climate change. 3. Are less likely to be affected. examples: OPEC, the oligarchs of Russia, the people who build or make money from oil-derived infrastructure, and, last but not least, the people of Germany who don't want nuclear power because of a war that ended 3/4 of a century ago. all of them have reasons, many of those reasons are in the traditions or expectations of the developed world. this is why it is difficult the same way that nuclear war was difficult, total war was difficult, and the compressed globe was difficult. And yet we must do it. There is no other choice. Right now, the bargaining phase: each person wants to keep doing the things that they know cause climate change but wants other people to change instead.

Amazing that she quotes/cites Steve Jobs! Lmao. He was so kind to the planet.

I have just one thing to ask: please, stop talking about climate change and start calling it for what it is, a climate crisis. People need to feel the urgency

Kudos to this Goan adoption initiative! Wish many other communities wud get involved. I live in Panamá & have experienced the results of climate change: many islands have been flooded by the sea already!

People don't watch the news anymore because it makes them sad. So many people aren't getting the message and seeing the destruction. Try diversifying the news channels, get game development companies and "influencers" involved in the storytelling. Unfortunately they usually won't do it for free, so there is always the bottom-line of money, even when survival of our species hangs in the balance. To train one AI model it can produce as much as the carbon produced by three cars in their entire lifespans, so technology probably won't save us either.

If 99% of scientists say fossil fuel contribute to global warming, is it a good idea to elect a President who says, Drill Baby Drill? I suppose when hail gets the size of basketball they might take it seriously 😅

In 'Merica, we're still arguing whether or not it's real! The corporations that are responsible have too much influence over our politicians and our people. 🤠

Stock prices and exchange rates won't matter much once harvests fail to an extent that exports cease and mass starvation begins. Humanity can only store food to last like 74 days. What happens if the world gets so hot that all crops fail at once? Upper estimates in the "business as usual" scenarios give up to 8.5ºC warming, something that would be beyond catastrophic, no food can be produced at these temperatures. Oceans become anoxic and only nasty bacteria thrives in this new environment. Permian Extinction-like conditions.

good background sea landscape. There is some idea to put on background images of beautiful places from the past. Marked them with year photo has made to remind/know us about beauty of nature. As image quality originally may not be good we could handle them a bit with AI to improve quality. Actually subject raised in this video is very important.

According to the Environmental and Energy Study Institute, humanity gets 80% of its daily energy from fossil fuels. The problem isn't climate change messaging, the problem is the massive global investment in the existing energy infrastructure and our utter dependence on this system. Most people can't really do anything significant to change their energy mix to renewables. We're in a Catch-22...

By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.

Meanwhile U.S. Field Production of Crude Oil has literally never been higher

As long as governments bend to the will of big corporations, they'll never do enough

The reality is the Earths weather env is a _closed_ system. As we have polluted and pumped all sorts of things into it (not just co2) we keep thinking that the env has a linear relationship between how much we pollute and how broken it is. This is _not_ the case, closed loop systems deteriorate at an _exponential_ rate. This means we are _well_ past the inflection point, and the rate of destruction will be much faster than expected. The severe problems are not _30_ or _50_ years away.. they are less than a decade away.

Humanity needs to grow up. This is not solvable through invidual actions alone or with outsourcing responsibilities to said inviduals, we need collective action, but instead we get invidualistic rituals to clean our conscience. The profit drive needs to go, profit drive and sustainebility are mutually exclusive. If you extract only monetary value, that value is extracted from other values and if monetary value is the only value we can see, it's game over for us because everything else has been turned into money. This is not solvable with technology either, all the wonder tech some of us are waiting has failed so far or are too expensive resource wise. The salvation through technology mindset is a denial of reality, in hope of that we could continue business as usual. Our priorities needs to change.

Where are the facts in this news? I think, I believe, if thinks do not change, it looks like this and that! How about just one fact!

Military's are not required to report greenhouse gases pollution. US military is largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases pollution in the world.

You know nothing will change when 90% or more don't believe it is as critical as it is. I saw the Oscar's and listened as everybody spoke about the future like there will be one. We fall into 3 categories...the very poor who don't have money to do anything but survive, those that don't believe it's real or as dire, and those that aren't willing to make the necessary sacrifices needed globally. There are a few more but they don't total up enough.

I lived in what many people consider uninhabitable. because of extreme heat in summer, Phoenix Arizona. About 7 million love the place that is supposedly uninhabitable including me. I have never read in history books that it was 72 in summer.

Continue to grow more plants, Continue to keep clean and recycle ♻️ we need to see more climate issues worked on as a collective whole

Because it's natural! We can't stop mother earth,

Because is "not summer yet" 😂😂😂

Who is WE!? Doesn't planned obsolescence mean unnecessary manufacturing which has to produce extra CO2? When have you heard a climate scientist point that out? Doesn't planned obsolescence mean more depreciation on the Demand Side of the economy? Ask an economist about the annual depreciation of automobiles since Sputnik. There were only 200,000,000 motor vehicles in the US in 1994. How many belonged to consumers and did not have depreciation filed with the IRS? Reality is too complicated for PhDs!

Anyone remember ‘the population bomb’? Only the west took it seriously.

We???? Go talk to China or Russia or India or USA... They wont stop increasing CO2 emissions. Europe is actually reducing emissions.

Money, those with it, and those without it

*if the global corporations don't do anything about the climate crisis

technology advancement will solve this problem. to young people who want to make a difference in climate change study like the world depends on it.

Maybe, gratification of instant needs trumps long term existential interests combined with profits over planet and people.

This is our last stable decade on Earth.

All telescopes, which are used to search for intelligent life, point away from this planet.

GOVERNMENTS TO BUSY ON WHO IS GOING TO LEAD, OR NEED MORE PAY, OR HIGHER UP JOBS SO THEY DO NOT GO TO JAIL FOR CRIMES THEY HAVE DONE, MONEY THEY NEED FOR LAWYERS

I honestly think we don't care. Most of us seem to be taking risks rather than doing something about the future.

Why aren't we fighting climate change faster? - Well, because it would decrease profits, obviously!

The sky was never made for jets . Only birds .

We will never deal with the climate crisis. We're just not built for it. We are still the Easter Islander humans, who cut the last tree drown to raise the last statue head and then saw their civilization die!

Dinosaurs once had fun on this earth.

It’s incredibly heartwarming that so many young people are pushing for change more than my (35yo) generation did. It’s just a fact however that the generations that have kept their blinds on run everything and prioritize upholding capitalism and the mechanisms that as a result will move in the wrong direction or glacially slowly in the right one. Bad phrasing on my part tho, these days glaciers are speedy as fuvk and they’re all going to be gone REALLY SOON…

Its so funny that we as society still dont get it that society is... A SYSTEM! To make systemical changes you need to operate on a system level. To ask individuals to do something is NOT a system level and "messaging" is not acting. You have to change our system in some parts. And guess what... we dont do it. Our society is vastly economized. Our economy is deeply decentralized and every "unit" (=corporation) is ought to create growth so the GDP is growing. This is done by exploitation on all levels (exploit environment, ressources, human beings, society, politics, etc - economical leaders btw. also exploit themselves). If GDP is not growing our societies become more instable than they already are. Which you can see in many areas where GDP is not growing. Our econmical "scientists" dont research about this system but create ideological BS to maintain the system. So instead of having 150 years of research of enhancing and changing our system we have... nothing. And all media does not adress this. Not sure why - maybe you highly paid and highly educated academics really dont get it that our economics arent really science at all. Maybe you just dont care. I dont know. But... we will not change our system. And therefor... we will go on with exploiting our world cause our economy is just constructed in that way. You can shift the exploitation a little bit. But in the end... we will destroy our environment and our own society cause extreme exploitation cannot be balanced.

Because most populations are already at the poverty level and they cant pay for the costs of climate 'cleansing' .... billionaires+, are also too attached to their zeros ... that's why...

If you start to accept the doom of our civ, you'll get out of anger and can start to prepare yourself and your surrounding. Start a farm! Grow your own food. Go into nature and enjoy and save as much of it as you can. Try to talk to others, but politely. The old generation (over 60) is lost, they won't change and listen. Don't waste time. Think in small steps. Find people who think same, build communities. Help each other.

For anything to change, there has to be money made for the rich. It has to be done with the littlest amount of work to make the change. Big change takes a lot of time and money. Businesses don't have time for that. If there is more profit made by not doing anything and just let the world burn, that's how it will be.

Because we got a bunch of dictators in countries like Russia, China and Iran, who would rather rule over desert than care for people or earth. They are a priority threat 😔

I think that many in Europe including the UK are quite happy about warming like first hot July in the UK .I live in a better world but I realise that in 20 yrs more warming could be devastating.We live in perfect time now.

Okay, so, in looking at the world, India is both at high risk for damage from the projected change in the climate and is one of the areas that is changing its behavior to most advance this crisis. Probe its considerations on it is doing this apparently self defeating actions. Then you might get an idea why "we" don't act faster.

Welcome to the oligarchy

The reason we arent doing anything is the only handles on this are consumption levels per person, and number of people. And people want to consume more and have more kids

Lol

Society be like: "Why does that climate change doesn't go away already?! Waaa😭😭 Bad climate change! We don't want you here anymore waaah😭😭😭"

Why? Big oil dependency

It's been hotter before.

lol!

Itll be time for earth 2

They have been saying the same thing since the 70s.

As long as we keep concentrating on the private jets and ignore the mass pollution of corporations, industry and the several billion internal combustion engines we can be assured that the Billionaires that have made their fortunes from making the world as it is will be fine....

We are coming out of a mini ice age... things are gonna get warmer. We cant KEEP the world in an artificially cooler state just because we THINK that is preferable. Change is natural: adapt

"Why isn't climate change being combated faster?" Greed.

Apesar dos muitos alertas de que isso aconteceria a mudança climática chegou para ficar e daqui para frente só vai piorar.... enquanto isso caminhamos para o abismo......os pobres vão morrer primeiro e os 1%mais ricos vão se mandar do planeta......

Earth is fine with or without us.

Also most of the people in control are old, so there is little for them to worry about, and no reason to be speedy with fixes!

OPEC.

When China provides green energy products and advanced techs at lower prices, which should perfectly match Europe's demands for renewable energy and climate policies， but Europe says no to China under the influence of the USA. That's really a big tragedy for global climate control.

Where are these "raising" oceans water levels? The last I heard, oceans are raising at 2cm every 33 years. At that rate the ocean level will be 6cm in 100 years. I do not know of anyone that lives at sea level, let alone 6cm or less. What do you think why people would care about 6cm?

Climate The Movie

It’s not only political organisations and industry that are responsible but individuals too. We are individually responsible for our lifestyle choices. I hear many people who say they cannot afford electric cars when they are happy to spend enormous sums on Range Rovers and other combustion SUVs. In the UK, the take-up on solar panels and heat pumps remains abysmally low despite heavy government subsidy and zero vat. People still have gas and oil boilers fitted and less than 4% of homes have moved to solar (and battery storage). The majority of people are largely unconcerned about their emissions and will drive or fly without any sense of moderation nor give any thought to their contribution to global heating. Moving to a plant based diet or cutting down on meat and dairy consumptions is the simplest of choices and can be the decision of a moment, something you can do immediately and enormously reduce your impact. It is encouraging that an increasing percentage of younger people especially are doing this

How habitable are places with - 30 in the winter. Should those places get higher heating prices so places with +30 would have global warming fears satisfied?

We are not fighting it faster due to the influence of oil majors. We have investors in fossil fuels, with trillions of dollars at stake. Their fortunes depend on the continuing expectation that they will be able to sell through the known reserves. Every month they can delay rational public policy toward waste CO2 is worth billions. The half a billion or so they spend each year on "conservative think tanks" and related lobbying and public relations projects to undermine public confidence in science is a good investment. There is a reason why the CCCM movement exists - to employ PR flacks and advertising professionals, pollsters, lobbyists, and a few retirees from science who disagree with some aspect of conventional climate science in order to to undermine public confidence in science. Most of the money that funds this movement is from "old money" family foundations that primarily support right wing causes. About 1/3 of it is anonymized through a money laundering service called Donors.

Until the rich and powerful figure out how to stay in charge they won't change.

She’s one beautiful….being for sure ^ ^

Not in report: the parts of the world that will become habitable

It's to late now.

Many parts of the world also go from Uninhabitable to Habitable because of climate change , Maybe do some research which countries profit from climate change and then ask this question again . ( mopping with the tap open )

Many places are uninhabitable now - we just don’t know it yet.

Because there is no climate crisis.

There have been many periods when the Earth was warmer than now and civilization flourished. The cold periods were characterized by famines and the collapse of civilization. During the Roman Warm Period, citrus trees grew near Hadrian's wall and vineyards grew hundreds of miles further north than they do now. During the Medieval Warm Period the Vikings grew cereal crops on farms that are now under permafrost in Greenland. These were global events which are confirmed by ice cores from Greenland and the Vostok core in Antarctica as well as lake sediments from around the world.

The world heats up the world cools down it's called life😂
