  1. Informative video, thanks a bunch Potsdam institute. BUT- will we ever learn to stop drawing in images of men as key decision makers and key thinkers and scientists and policy makers in society. Will it be possible to stop underrepresenting women in the narrative that concerns our collective future? The world has been run by men for centuries, look where we are now… The climate is changing, so can patriarchy, so can the narratives of change. Most people I know who are active change makers in society are,,,, wait for it, women. PS- I'm a black, female, African environmental scientist. If and when you do decide to include images of African women- you're allowed to depict them in modern clothing, working at universities and think-tanks or in NGOs, as community leaders. Don't feel obliged to only depict them as blind victims of climate change, ignorant of the world around them, waiting for some white male to come and save them from climate change…

  2. So — let's think about how well things have gone since 2012. If we have a baseline OKness for climate change (it's still accepting major disruption, however, because things will continue to get exponentially worse for at least another forty years; the effects total will last more than a hundred) … if we accept this and therefore have a 100% achievement target by the middle of 2017 — now — how far along are we? 0.1%? If even that? Perhaps even 0.01%. That sounds more about right, honestly speaking, doesn't it (not a question). In other words: nothing. I know some from the right will quibble on the notable success we've had so far and insist it's more like 0.03% — all due to their personal efforts, no doubt — but let's chart that and compare it to the exponential sets here: sets that all point to a terrible death for everyone, selves included.

    So what is the likelihood that America shuts down it operations of endless war and takes all its citizens off the road immediately? Or even ten years from now? How will they take the total collapse of their currency? That'll be a bit of an economic shock worldwide (since so many of the debts are in that terrible currency; no wonder donald trump hates China).

    Everyone, every country on Earth, Britain — the people, not the establishment-types — included, despises America. Their reasons for doing so are not irrational. Now America is determined to 'soft'-kill its enemies (everyone not America), drowning and starving them, Britain included, whether by design or sheer pigheaded ignorance, I wonder what the 'diplomatic' responses are going to be. Until the UK shakes off the neoliberal poison, we don't stand a chance. The country cannot feed or power itself — and it faces millions of people being displaced in the mid 2030s; the government's plans prove it.

  8. modern day passages from a true modern day Prophet of God….

    The restraining Spirit of God is even now being withdrawn from the world. Hurricanes, storms, tempests, fire and flood, disasters by sea and land, follow each other in quick succession. Science seeks to explain all these. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. Men cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds that they shall not blow until the servants of God are sealed; but when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there shall be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture. – Testimonies for the Church 6:408.
    The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. The agencies of evil are combining their forces, and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. – Testimonies for the Church 9:11.
    The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger. – Prophets and Kings, 277. ChS 52.1 – ChS 52.3

    modern day passages from a true modern day Prophet of God….
    "The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan"  Ellen G. White, 1888, rev.1911

    Chapter 36—The Impending Conflict….
    Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer. But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same.Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them. GC 589.2

    While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people … do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. GC 589.3

    And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated and upon grounds equally well established: “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.” 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God’s ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah. GC 590.1

    "Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." GC 588.1

    National Apostasy Will Be Followed by National Ruin

    When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land, and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:977 (1888). LDE 133.5

    It is at the time of the national apostasy when, acting on the policy of Satan, the rulers of the land will rank themselves on the side of the man of sin.It is then the measure of guilt is full. The national apostasy is the signal for national ruin.—Selected Messages 2:373 (1891). LDE 134.1

    When the state shall use its power to enforce the decrees and sustain the institutions of the church—then will Protestant America have formed an image to the papacy, and there will be a national apostasy which will end only in national ruin.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:976 (1910). LDE 134.4

    The Revelation of Jesus Christ…
    12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the Commandments of God, and the Faith [Testimony] of Jesus
    Rev.14 v.12
    17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the Commandments of God, and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ
    Rev.12 v.17
    10. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the Testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. KJV — Revelation 19:10

  9. It's a good video. It expresses about the problems of the world. The all countries in the world must work together to solve this problems to keep our environment clean for all

  10. A good idea to remember is climate change predictions have been around for more than 50 years, predicting disaster just around the corner, but have not come true. The hottest recorded US temperature was in 1913, 134 degrees F. Deaths from climate disasters are down 99%. The earth is actually greener now because of the release of CO2 in the Industrial Revolution. More people are living longer, richer lives because of the use of fossil fuels.

  11. The climate policies can't do anything until we as a people consider it our responsibility. Start living a sustainable lifestyle and reduce consumption, and purchase only necessary things. The situation gonna be horrible in the upcoming years.

  12. the feels more like fear mongering. the advancement in technology has contributed immensely to the negative impact of climate change. nobody talks about the nuclear weapons tested on humans, animals and aquatic life. emissions of co2 from major industrialized countries in the west. I feel the some less developed countries are still better in terms of using sustainable climate change mitigations method than already developed ones. Developed countries countries can not dictate what happens in less developed nations where most people still adopt traditional way of life.
