Let’s talk about climate change. People are calling it the crisis of our time, and it is. “climate change “climate change” “climate changes” “climate change” But it’s easy to get lost in this story. The science is dense, and politics get in the way. World leaders are meeting in Madrid to talk about the climate crisis and how to slow it down. And they’re under pressure from millions of people around the world calling for concrete action. The empty promises are the same and the inaction is the same. So what exactly are we doing wrong and how do we fix it? We’re going to kick this off with some basic science. So bear with me, because this is important. Look at this graph. These are the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere over hundreds of thousands of years. But this spike in carbon dioxide at the very end? That took off during the industrial revolution. We started breaking CO2 records in 1950, and we haven’t stopped since. why? Well, scientists say there’s a 95% chance that human activity is the cause. We’ve been burning more and more fossil fuels like oil and coal, which release CO2, to power our homes, factories, airplanes and cars. There’s also a lot more of us. The global population has tripled in the past 70 years. And we’re consuming more products from animals that release another pollutant called Methane. So all those gases are in the air, and when sunlight gets into the earth’s atmosphere, some of the heat gets trapped, and the planet gets warmer. That’s why they call it the “Greenhouse Effect”. But the concern is not that the earth is getting warmer. But the concern is not that the earth is getting warmer. “It’s actually the warmest temperature on Earth since the last ice age since 10 thousand years ago.” The UN says that right now, our world is about 1 degree hotter than pre-industrial times. That’s around the year 1800. Which is okay. In fact, the UN says if we warm by 1.5 degrees before the end of the century we should be fine. The UN says even 2 degrees would ‘probably’ be alright. But again, the problem is speed. Because right now, we are on track to hit 1.5 degrees in only ten years. And If we don’t slow that warming down, it could mean catastrophe within my lifetime, and maybe yours too. And we’re already getting a taste. “Climate change is here. Climate change is happening. We are well into the 6th mass extinction event.” ”Europe is currently colder than the Artic.” “More than a thousand people being rescued just in the early morning hours of Sunday.” “Millions of people are likely to suffer worsening food and water shortages.” ‘The drought that’s now in its tenth year is a phenomena that’s here to stay.’ “We’ve never seen a year’s worth of rain in less than seven days.” Sea levels are rising about 3 millimetres a year because seawater expands as temperatures get warmer. Melting ice sheets and glaciers also add trillions of tons of freshwater into our oceans. People around the world are already losing their homes. And if things carry on, millions more of us will have to pack up too. Entire coastal cities could be underwater within 80 years. Like Miami in the US or Osaka in Japan. Entire island nations in the pacific could completely disappear. “Natural disasters becoming more and more intense, more frequent with devastating consequences. The dramatic impacts of droughts in different parts of the world, all of this is creating a situation that is a real threat to humankind. And we are not doing enough.” “If 99% of doctors said to you, ‘take this medicine, or you will get really sick and probably die’ you would take it , who wouldn’t take it? the problem is, at the moment, we don’t have any medicine.” Now, there is a plan to slow all this down. Back in 2016, world leaders signed the so-called ‘Paris Agreement’. And the big pledge is to cap temperatures rising by 1.5 degrees or a maximum of 2, before the year 2100. So countries set their own targets on how much CO2 they emit. But here’s the thing Three years after the agreement, global CO2 levels are still going up. “CO2 emissions have been going up the last year by two per cent so that’s actually above the average of the last ten years. So it’s started to increase again and it doesn’t look too good. In some ways, we’re going backwards. “The United States will cease all implementation of the nonbinding Paris accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country.” The US, one of the world’s biggest polluters, has pulled out of the Paris deal. Russia and China are accused of not giving themselves ambitious targets in the first place. ambitious targets in the first place. Turkey and Poland want to build more power plants that use coal. And then there’s the sceptics. It’s a political decision, that it’s man-made global warming. We forced the computer models to say AHA! Human influence, CO2 and other stuff. “The ground base temperature data has been massaged to show an increase but the satellite data shows no increase.” On the other hand, there is positive momentum. There’s more awareness and some countries are making progress. India, Morocco, and The Gambia have massive renewable energy projects. There are different countries doing different things really successfully some countries are, for example, making all public transport free in the cities. What a great way to encourage people out of their cars. But experts say what’s needed now is an even bigger push to change everything about the way we run our world. Business as usual has got to change. Politics as usual has got to change In order to combat that we have to change the system that has allowed it to happen. You can’t have infinite growth on a finite planet. And everyone can do that by shifting to renewable energy, reducing the use of cars, use trains more, cycle more, eat less meat consume a bit more carefully. So where does that leave us? Well there’s only so much bike-riding and light-bulb replacing you and I can do everyday. But the truth is that it’s those everyday things that are going to change anyway. Even coffee could run out if farmers can’t grow it. So the expert advice? Is that it’s down to all of us, to change our ways and shake things up, or climate change is going to do it for us.
Climate Change is real.🌍🌡
It's caused by humans.🏭
We need to fix it.♻️
Period.
There has always been climate change and there will ever be climate change.
Geez, all these comments denying climate change are the real BS
Climate change = give-us money
I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio was in on the Amazon fires, and that the global warming people started the fires in California!
And I like how all this garbage started off as "global warming " until God froze the eastern coast of America and Canada, then to cover the first lie, they renamed their lie with "climate change ". 🥴🤑
This is terrifying 😨,we are all spectators no one is acting,well this(climate change ) doesn't affect only underdevelop or developing nations it affects all.Countries like top 20 economies of the world could save the planet,if they actually work together."All eyes on you"
Greta for world president
Check out the Roman Warm Period. British wine was in big demand. CO2 levels were low. It’s just about taxing the masses. Check out sunspots and the precession (orientation of the earth axis). Mind you we will eventually run out of fossil fuels so we should be investing in wind, solar…. but no need to panic!
A scam
If the entire population of earth was working together we could NOT do anything to effect the power of the Sun. The sea's level has been changing for thousands of years so my advice is, quit building on the beach unless you put wheels under the structure !
I have an idea stop spraying the skies with chemicals and using microwaves and frequencies to control weather
We first need to ‘cancel’ people who are climate change deniers, companies heavily contributing to climate change. Using the concept ‘cancel’ or boycotting for things that actually make a difference in the world. Media over this decade has given voice to the ignorant and stupid who have become very loud, changed people’s critical thought, changed the culture to the intellect of a caveman. It’s a constant argument not of facts vs hypothesis, but of facts vs willful ignorance.
People are always citing first amendment to excuse their ignorance, hatred, willfully ignorant facts. We truly need to cancel or boycott these fake people who are doubtful of the existing and threats close to us. Like climate change, ignorance, more importantly the media because it keeps spreading bad information, making people stupid, making society tolerant of the climate change deniers. I wish there was a movement just like climate change for the media. This way factual news is broadcasted.
FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH WE ARE CAUSING? AND THEN HOW MUCH IS NATURAL AND NOT CAUSED BY HUMANS. THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD. OTHERWISE IT IS JUST A GUESSING GAME. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THE MAGNITUDE IS, WE KNOW CARBON LEVELS BUT NOT THE TOTAL EFFECTS
Folks, plastic is a real environmental catastrophe. CO2 is plant food, the gas we exhale. As I type this , the temperature in beautiful downtown Yakutsk is -37c.
Sadly, it's already too late.
The Rich have destroyed our planet for personal gain.
How do we fix it?…..Simple..We need the American Military to stop messing with the Weather…H A A R P….all part of AGENDA 21.
Start Here
What scientist has verifiable evidence that fossil fuel CO2 has caused any climate change. The answer is that there is NONE.
These temperature claims are bogus. It was hotter in the first half of the 20th century. Many temps now are due to urban heat island affects.
Human is self destructive by nature.
Send all of them concerning about climate change to China!
It's atotal lie global warming is agreat lie credible climate scientists called them for debate and feared
Exactly, this is a self correcting situation, at some point the pot boils over and puts out the fire. Meanwhile it is the Sun that is the biggest driver of climate. And we are all still in danger of being struck by a Asteroid or Comet at any time, ending the show at any moment. What you going to do when that happens? This is what life on Earth is.
🇧🇷👍
First time I understand what climate change , she somehow explain it in a very simple way
You know where the 97% figure came from?
77 ÷79 = 97%.Your credibility is ad good as that figure.
"I would point out to the readers that the second biased culling of the group (the first being sending questionnaires only to academics and government scientists) occurred when over two thirds of those to whom the questionnaire was sent (6854 of 10,000) didn’t respond. Thus we have no idea what they believed. Therefore, at the most, the consensus of scientists questioned could only be 31.5%, and that’s only if all 3146 respondents agreed.
In the end, Doran used the exceedingly skewed numbers of 77 of 79 to obtain the 97% figure when he should have used 77 of 10,000 to obtain only 0.8% consensus!
In other words, of 10,000 scientists to whom the questionnaire was sent, only 77 responded with agreement. Without knowledge of the 6854 non-responders, at most the study reveals only a 0.8% consensus. This would have been the honest conclusion.
The multiple episodes of this type of deceit by climate change alarmists alone should make everyone skeptical of their alarmist conclusions."
People do your research a volcano can release just as much toxins and CO2 with one eruption as America can in one year. I'm not saying not to be conscious of your carbon footprint
Thie consensus of 11,000 non-climate science scientists. No mention of the fact that climate change is eternal – with or without man.
That during 4 of the last 6 ice ages, CO2 was at higher levels than now.
That climate is not weather – no connection between extreme weather events & climate change.
The world is greener today than 150 years ago (thanks to coal).
That CO2 follows temperature increases, it does not (by its molecular nature) drive them.
Considerably more CO2 in the atmosphere would be good for plant growth & crop production.
Water vapour has a more significant greenhouse effect than CO2, but you can tax CO2.
Nations like Russia, promote renewables for the Western capitalist nations, while themselves producing fossil fuels, as this guarantees a decline in western. Industry.
Renewables (specifically wind and solar) are terrible for our environment, from a CO2, pollution & endangerment to wildlife standpoint.
Back to taxing CO2 & you have your answer – a tax we're foolishly happy to pay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jesus said these things would happen before his return! Global warming, oh wait, now its "climate change, is a scam created by the spirit of antichrist.
There no climate change just read the holy Bible book of Genesis! You will find the answer!this bullshit if is through why President Trump do not believe changes your climate change and back off!
The elites knew this would happen, they were warned. They just not being upfront with us an telling us the truth.
Kill people and kill nature
Poor are looting
Even the biggest skeptics have to admit that human activity is a contributing factor, and the truth is that's the only factor under our direct control.
Trump: The goon of this century
Shut…. lies
Natural disaster happen natural….
Check the records and history books…
This video is equivalent to many articles related to the subject. Good work!
Birth control for humans and stop cutting down trees.
Bs
🌿🌿🌿🗽🌿 МОЖЕТ ВСЁ ЭТО КАРА БОГА!?! 🌿🌿🌿🗽🌿☝🌷
How much CO2 is the result of unnecessary manufacturing due to planned obsolescence? What do economists say about computing consumer depreciation of the junk every year? Shouldn't so called scientists have noticed?
So here's where your are stupid, combustion does not create CO2, just CO (carbon monoxide) which is poisonous to humans. CO2 (dioxide) is what humans and mammals exhale. It's also what plants inhale. What do you think is there bubbles in your soda pop? Infused carbon dioxide to help fill the can with less liquid and it's what you burp. It also has health benefits for us. So the media needs to stop spreading this anti-knowledge. There's also no such thing as fossil fuel. Oil does not come from decomposed dinosaurs, it's all organic material that has decomposed. You would know this if you ever composted your yard clippings. It is a renewable source. Global warming is a scare tactic, don't become victim. Please.
Oh let us all die we don’t deserve to live in this planet
You have headache's = climate change
You have a diarrhea = climate change
You can't pay your monthly Bill's = climate change
Don't want to have sex= climate change
Wars around the world= climate change
Peace around the world = climate change
Nobody buy's your global warming= climate change
It is so funny that you can use "Climate Change" for everything under the sun.
You say to subscribe your channel to never miss an episode, but even after subscribing I dont get all the videos from al jazeera in my subscription feed.
PROPAGANDA pure and simple…Many ppl do not realize that the Sahara desert was once a lush tropical rainforest, barely 6000 years ago but now a harsh baren wasteland…too many cows farting? Or just the natural life cycle of this realm we call home?
Nice, informative and comprehensive video. Thanks for your good work.
At 2.43 we are in 6th mass extinction, cognitive dissonance is so obvious. Our world is a done did deal, I AM fully aware of this, the frustrating thing is so few seem to grasp. Just look at the comments they are🙊🙉🙈.
Humans release only 3.5% of carbon and the ocean releases far more naturally
🐖💨💩🇮🇱🕳👈🏻
"climate change" is Satan's deception tool. The Bible states all this will happen more and more frequently as a woman bares a child before birth. At this time nearly every country on the planet is protesting their government or athority figures. The world is crying out for a savior without even knowing it. But those of us who are awake know that Jesus is returning for his bride before the worst. Repent of your sins and give your life to Christ before its too late! Eternity is at stake!! I love you all, God bless you brothers and sisters!
ANIMAL AGRICULTURE IS THE #1 CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE… stop eating meat and save the planet!
Next we should talk about propaganda and snake oil sales
Loved d way she explain everything in an interesting and easy way…climate change nvr gonna stop unless we change our own habits n lifestyle but it is inevitable there will always be climate change d only thing we can do is to slow down d impact that it will make on us
The tension between Ethiopia and Egypt inthe river Nile.
Anyone wanna buy some air?
Did she just show the, now famous, fake J curve!
Throw in the United nations reference, throw in lots of "could be" statements, throw in old flood videos.
Perfect brainwashed article.
if we got married maybe it will help climate change.. yes.
Bull it’s the mark of the beast Sunday rest by law by the pope and that little girl 👧 Greta we are in the last days
This earth is not older than 6k years
Please make a video on Population growth.
Excellent!
the sky is falling, the sky is falling!! oh noooo!!
It's easy for us to be lied to! We don't need to see your video we have eyes! We know the true intentions of this video is a scare tactic but if you really care about climate change then drain the swamp of corruption! That should slow down climate change dramatically!!! That's why Trump pulled out of the deal and we back him!! Don't be fooled people! Just do your own part to do what you can!
It's not CO2. It's not you. It is the SUN.
…we are cooling kids. Check your science. 😎🤙
Fake science.
Pollution we can stop because we produce it. Climate change we have little to do with because our Sun and the environment affecting it produces it. We've been deceived by those who know little of the true cause of Climate Change – mark my words; you will know more in 2022.
south china sea plz
do a story on single use plastic
You have to admire the resolve of some politicians. Bushfires are literally burning out of control over hundreds of thousands of acres across Australia right now (no exaggeration!) but our government is adamant it's got nothing to do with climate change. Like most people, I don't believe them!
where is original footage from this at 2:40
And what about the millions of people that dont agree . The science is not IN, it is not definative. Climate change is real it has always been changing human influence is negligible and CO2 cause is suspect. What can we do, plant trees and adapt, beyond that you are just being alarmists.
Yes Doomster!
Fist of all…CO2 levels have been higher…you just failed to go back in time enough..it makes your lie look real. Of course it was before man walked the earth…and that makes it hard to blame humans does it not?
The world has been in a cooling faze for hundreds of thousands of years…again, you only went back 10 thousand years…to a short warming faze that ended around 2009. Lady, do you not realize how old this planet is?
It’s not CO2 it’s the sun. We are going into a Grand Solar Minima, the son is going into a long cooling faze. What is my evidence? Check what the temperature is doing on every planet in the solar system. Please, get your facts checked, flooding, and droughts are effects of solar cooling.
Sea level is not rising! Why? Because the sea floor is sinking at a rate of over 3 inches a year. New studies are showing no increase in overall sea level and have noted that most studies did not equate for the sinking sea floor. What is interesting is that the sea floor is sinking much faster than any sea level rise.
Without CO2, we are dead. Plants need it to grow. Your putting all your eggs in one basket…with CO2…why. MONEY..A CARBON TAX DESIGNED TO MAKE THE RICH RICHER. This is the planet Earth…the climate has been changing since day one…long before man walked on it…and guess what…the climate will be changing long after we are gone! Prove me wrong.
Lady..you show those massive solar arrays like they are great for the environment! Do you not realize that the air temperature over those massive solar arrays is over 900 Degrees Fahrenheit? The air is so hot that birds flying over burst into flames and fall burning out of the sky. Talk about solar warming! Hundred of thousands of birds fry flying over these things ever day. Huge flocks of migratory birds set on fire in the sky trying to fly there migration routs. Looks to me like you need to wake up…
The only thing you got right, is that Climate Change is going to change us. It hurts to see Al Jazeera becoming US Main Stream Media…I thought you were better than that. But as far as this story…you really blew it. So..my offer…you don’t like my comments, challenge me. Prove me wrong..better yet..let’s sit down and compare facts. Either way…soon enough the garbage your putting out is really going to stink.
Notice it's only people that sit in offices and have soft hands that advocate shutting down all industries? Probably because they've never done a real days work in their lives and can't even fathom what it takes to keep an economy moving.
The little ice-age was from 1300 -1850 we are coming out of that so naturally, there is an increase in temperature. From satellite records from 1979 temperature has increased by 0.13C per decade which is aligned with a natural increase, this has nothing to do with CO2. To combat natural climate change we need to build sea walls etc. This requires engineering and technology not riding your bike to work.
To get rid of using fossil fuels for the valid reason of air pollution you first need to have a workable system. Unfortunately, wind and solar produce unreliable energy that is problematic for the way we use power. Search Jo Nova How to destroy a perfectly good grid or Michael Schellenberg.
Greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Water vapour can't heat the planet or trap heat for any length of time. A tropical jungle at the equator might feel hotter but the temperature has been buffered compared to the heat in a desert. We do not live in a contained system it is an open system which allows heat to escape. Heat rises by convection and it is only slowed temporally as it passes through denser materials like water vapour. Carbon dioxide and methane are trace gases measured in part per million / parts per billion respectively in the atmosphere, they simply can not radiate heat energy back to heat the planet. The human body emits infrared energy/ heat so imagine trying to heat the floor in your lounge while suspended 2 metres off the ground and there is no roof. Any small heat escapes and head upwards. The main heat source is the Sun and atmospheric pressure helps to maintain heat levels. it is the reason why it is colder at the top of the mountain and warmer at the surface and why the core is a molten ball.
what we're doing is consuming and that is all it is. Consumption=climate change and it is easy to understand.
The only way to save the Earth is with a mass reduction in the number of people.
Ohhhhh…. I get it now. The problem is man-made. The people are at the epicenter of climate change.
The solution is simple. A war that eradicates ~7 billion people would fix CC?? I'm all for that!
Let's talk about those saggy sweater puppies.. You need better support.
Bernie 2020 and the Green New Deal is the start to move the governments into a new path to change!
Climate Change is not real
Al Jazeera….Did you have to get the CHICK? She is not the reporter, just a model. YUCK
Dear Mam kindly start with economy….. we don't know much about it….and tnx again
It is sad but is is too late we should trade in cars fforr hybrids it would at least slow it down. Also destroy the fossil fuel factories. We should make clean air factories. It is mostly the fossil fuel factories
But warming started before mans co2.
Good Work AJ
Fake science. Pseudo data. But it is a fact that the bankers are destroying the earth.
There is no proof that climate change causes flooding simply from excess rain.
Sea levels have been rising between 1.8mm to 4mm a year since the last ice age. CO2 was higher than the current value millions of years ago.
This could have been done a lot better. They wrongly focus on urging individual consumers to make lifestyle changes. While that does matter to a degree, the real problem is that the corporate and political elite are deliberately choosing to downplay the importance of climate change in the media, and many have worked very hard on campaigns to spread doubt about the science and make it seem like a hoax so that they aren't held responsible for their oversized role in pollution.
As long as the single most-watched TV news network in the USA (Fox) continues to outright deny climate change, tiny outlets like this one aren't gonna make a big difference. Fox is the chief information source for tens of millions. Whatever they say is what half of the USA will believe.
Also, putting the onus on consumers rather than governments and corporations is an intentional strategy to deflect attention away from the real culprits. They want you to worry about taking quicker showers (or something trivial like that) while they continue putting off upgrading their behemoth-polluter coal plants and other sources of actually significant greenhouse gases.
Scary than wars.
There have always been natural disasters. Only idiots think it is climate change that is responsible for every flood and fire on earth.
No Koffie???? Lets start Today fixing the problem. 🙂
