There’s a game of Tetris happening on a global scale: The playing space is planet Earth, and all those pesky, stacking blocks represent carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas that is piling up ever more rapidly as we burn the fossil fuels that run our cars, factories and power plants. Joss Fong outlines how this overload of CO2 leads to climate change and reminds us that, unlike Tetris, we won’t get an opportunity to start over and try again.

APAN NAMIN TOOOO
tetris is from russia you num skulls
It's so irritating that politicians are asked "do you believe in climate change" as if they know a thing (or care) about science, our planet and humanity. The real question is "what are you going to do about it?"

It's depressing that Chicken Little Science has perpetuated this crazy fear just so they can get more grant money to perpetuate a needless fear. CO2 is not a Greenhouse Gas. https://principia-scientific.com/evidence-proves-that-co2-is-not-a-greenhouse-gas/ You need to concentrate on cleaning up your act. Allowing the necessary minerals, for super batteries to power our transportation and back up our solar power and wind power, to be mined both on land and in the deep sea will be a key process. Molten Salt reactors are going to happen and will improve our clean air immensely.
So we can stop climate change by becoming good at tetris right?
The earth has nearly frozen over 6 or 7 times, are these people thick. Report on the growing ice sheets also, not worth watching this rubbish now they have gone woke. Why were plants millions of years ago so big…… climate change has been happening for billions of years and will continue to happen for billions of years. Africa use to be green 11000 years ago. Hidden truth.. they never tell you…. Upto 90% of all greenhouse gas in our atmosphere is water vapour (water in gas form). CO2 is about 0.04% of our atmosphere,which humans are only responsible for a very small amount of small percentage.

POV: School
Do you know the Global Warming Potential (GWP) is for CO2?
It’s 1!
Do you know what the GWP is for Tetrafluoroethane, more commonly known as R-134a or Freon?
It’s OVER 1400!!!
Do you know what the most common Greenhouse Gas (GHG) in our environment is?
It’s Water Vapor!
Do you know what the most common man-made GHG is in our environment?
It’s R-134a!
CO2 is not the problem… chemical companies are!
Science Class Moment
Bro, earth should ask one of Tetris friends' top players to boost their account and then we solve global warming.
im here bc of their science teacher happy 51st earthday
How much has CO2 increased in the atmosphere since 1750?
kkkkk
I'm scared for my future
yeah this analogy sucks
Hiiiiiii
Ugh. Sure wish you had included other civilizations besides white folks at 1:12.
quelqu’un peut me faire un résumé svp c’est pour les cours 💀💀
That's not joss fong talking
학교 숙제로 왔습니다.
Simply put, factories don't need greenhouse gas emissions. Do not emit air pollution, reduce air pollution. stop greenhouse gas emissions, stop greenhouse gas emissions, – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ykdPfGUUc
i'm never getting a car! i'm sticking with a bike to work 🙂 and winter ill dooooo, eh ill think of it
Pollution and deforestation are caused by a lot of people not caring. If everybody cared just a little bit we could fix the problem. You're either part of the problem or you can be part of the solution.
Those carbon emitting energy sources, always rigging the RNG of this Tetris game to make it harder to play.
A 25 year old tree can store up to 400lbs of carbon.
Cutting tree is harmful not because it reduces our oxygen production ( well maybe a little bit) but because it releases so much carbon.
ok hear me out
lets dpc
just stickspin lmao
hear me out just pco

End.

This is total nonsense! The ocean of tropospheric water vapor is the cause of the greenhouse gas temperature forcing effect in earth's atmosphere by hundreds of times over all the other non condensing greenhouse gasses combined. A reasonable estimate of increased average global temperatures since preindustrial times due to human caused carbon dioxide emissions is 1/100°C! The temperature average temperature rise since preindustrial times is given at 1.1°C.
It is impossible for non condensing greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane to have created this increase in temperature. If you read the International Panel on Climate Changes reports they very state their air samples were taken at 20,000 meters well into the stratosphere; whereas, the greenhouse gas effect takes place in the troposphere. Water vapor in the stratosphere is near zero and the charts and graphs in the IPCC reports that include water vapor appear to be using water vapor concentration from the stratosphere. Since the IPCC is very transparent on where they got their air samples from the educated reader should know the conclusion will be based that data. This transparency makes the conclusion although incorrect it is not fraud.
A simple understanding of the water tropospheric water vapor's control over the greenhouse gas temperature forcing effect on earth is this: 1% of the troposphere is water vapor and 0.04% is carbon dioxide. 1%/0.04% = 25, tropospheric water vapor is 25 times more concentrated than carbon dioxide in the troposphere where the greenhouse gas effect takes place. The concentration ratio is not quite the same as 25 molecules of water vapor to 1 CO2 molecule, but it is close enough for a rough estimate. Water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas with a carbon dioxide greenhouse gas equivalent of 18 CO2e. 25 X 18 CO2e = 450 CO2e. On average tropospheric water vapor is 450 CO2e to 1 CO2 CO2e. All the other greenhouse gasses total up to less than the greenhouse gas effect of CO2, but for giving them presence in this ratio they are given 1 CO2e here. This gives the troposphere a total of 452 CO2e to 1 CO2e for CO2 or carbon dioxide is 1/452 of the greenhouse gas effect in earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide from human emissions is stated to be 40% of this in this video. 1/452 X 4/10 = 0.000884955752212 or 0.0885% less than 0.1%. Global warming appears to be real, but it is impossible to be from non condensing greenhouse gasses.
ted-ed (as usual ;)) simple, to the point and well designed. the finale about how a tetris game(and Earth) can end, really makes you think.I love ur vids
FAKE NEWS!
There has been no warming since this was made (UAH v6). There is no climate emergency. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past. It also warmed faster in the past.

This video has motivated me
To do the opposite you're suggesting
My dad is so good at tetris, he actually beat Vladimir Putin in it. He was the tetris grandmaster, he went on to play against every slavic father and win every single fight.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:06 🌍 Earth's carbon cycle, like Tetris, involves the constant movement of carbon blocks entering and leaving the atmosphere through various natural processes, forming the engine of life.
00:34 🌡️ Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, traps the sun's heat in the atmosphere, creating the greenhouse effect that prevents Earth from freezing. Increased carbon in the air leads to a warmer planet.
01:01 ⛏️ Human activities, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, introduce additional carbon blocks into the atmosphere, disrupting Earth's Tetris game. The carbon increase since 1750 has accelerated climate change.
01:31 🚗 Fossil fuels, derived from ancient plant and animal remains, power human civilization but contribute to the Tetris challenge by adding more carbon blocks. Deforestation further hinders block removal.
02:00 🌊 Climate change, driven by excess carbon dioxide, intensifies the greenhouse effect, melts polar ice caps, raises sea levels, threatens coastal areas, disrupts ecosystems, and results in more extreme weather events.

என்ன என்ன பண்ண வேண்டியா இருக்கு 😒
got it 👍
Boa Noite. Este tema é bastante importante na sociedade e na economia no seu todo. Ultimamente tem verificado-se um crescente aumento dos níveis de insustentabilidade ambiental. Obrigado.
unfortuneatly thanks to fossil fuel lobby propaganda most people thinks this is hoax :/
