Peak oil and peak water are happening at the same time. We use carbon to desalinate. It is a negative feedback loop.
What's your opinion on the place of animal agriculture on greenhouse gas emissions? There's much debate and it would be interesting to see your take
Since when is "science" based on consensus? The "consensus" at one time was that the earth was flat, and radiation was good for you. Of course, you are aware the climate has warmed and cooled cyclically over time, forever. Apparently, history contains some "inconvenient truths" that these "scientists" tend to ignore because it doesn't support of this brand of hogwash. You are not likely to get scientific grant money if your climate study conclusions don't support the outcome the commissioners of the study were looking for. The easy solution is to ignore facts that don't fit your narrative.
8 years ago and we haven't made much progress 🙁 besides more people realizing that recycling isn't doing much. nice succinct summary of how unsexy climate change is
Please do a video about this again..
Its more urgent than ever before.
is nuclear energy safe
It's been 8 years since this video was uploaded but I still agree. No one manages to make this issue into an interesting political debate
So… Be careful here…
When you say the only reason any scientist would disagree is because they must have vested interests; if that were wrong… If… Then being wrong about THAT would really make one wonder what else you were wrong about, y'know?
Maybe you're right. But if it turns out you weren't, and there's an actual conversation here that isn't to be dismissed with 3 seconds of psychology, then you would be doing harm to a position that should be being bolstered. Right?
So please… Be careful here.
I don't think that it is boring, I think that it is bullsh*t. Great vid. 👍
That intro was great!
I am not a Scientist or Expert but i might able to help atleast as far as i know
we see we are having these Co² issues for the last decades because of massive emittions of power supply of all countries in the world because of the faster growth of techonlogy and population and the demand of power supply in increasing each year, but if we can discipline our self to reduce the energy consumption it might sound controling people but hear me out, at our home we don't really need to rely on electricity for example at our homes we just simply unplug unessesary device or appliances to grealty reduce the electricity bills and at the sametime we can help to reduce the Co² emmitons in short ways we need to analyze the electricity consumption in our homes to reduce it as far as possible we get to the point that we can save energy and at the sametime a money right?
and we know that rich people houses are the ones who consume massive amounts of energy simply because almost all of their appliances are all working on electricity but we can't stop them theyre rich tho so we can't do anything about it but with a good advices from each of our governments and enough information that they can anounce to us on advertisment or local door to door information papers to read by each household to aware us about Green house effect together we can reduce the amount of Co² emmitions to normal rates instead of fighting who's right or wrong why would we just work together to massively reduce the electicity consumption.
in conclusion as we know we can't simply remove fossil fuels power plants to massively reduce the co² emittions but we can take control by every little move and dicipline on energy demand in little ways so it can have massive impact of reducing this Global warming effect that we currently facing at as human species
its sounds like essay but yeah i like to leave this comment to someone who reads this and i might able to help and i copy paste my comment around YoutTube to fully awareness to everybody
WE Recycle.. Lmao Not Educated enough and don't care. Because MONEY is the problem. Let the earth Warm up! It's gone through cycles before. The earth will be here after we are gone.
Ozone hole isn't a problem
Neither is climate change
Co2 is good for food production
Sea levels rising at mm a year isn't a crisis, and we can all see that.
That's why people are bored with the doomsayers
"There is expert consensus on climate change and businsseses have a vested interest"
I think the pandemic showed you exactly what climate change IS. It's government and crony capitalists profiting off your fear.
Even if there was climate change, the government can't even fix pot holes. It can't fix climate.
Only freedom offers long term sustainable solutions. But no one talks about that.
You could fix global warming and super volcano eruptions with the same solution:
Releasing the pressure from a super volcano would create enough energy to get us off fossil fuels.
I thought of a way to release the pressure.
The two main limitations to releasing the pressure from super volcanoes is that if you release the pressure in the center you could cause it to explode the way around that problem is to release the pressure further out, like a balloon if you release further out and slowly work your way in it can deflate without popping.
The second limitation is that you can't dig down to a super volcano without the equipment getting too hot to dig the way around that problem is instead of digging melt your way down to the lava.
Giant mirror fields create molten salt power plants, instead of pointing them at salt point the mirrors at a magnifying glass that melts the ground down to the lava and releases the pressure from the volcano while simultaneously using the released pressure to create power and get us off fossil fuels.
Nine years old? What's changed, except that it's nine years later?
Reduce 100% of your emissions and I believe the world would be. A much better place.
why did you show a nuclear plant when talking about releasing CO2? Those plants are probably the least producers of CO2…
3:00 Dude just predicted “Don’t look up”!
We all gonna die in pain. Horayyy then
Why would you have a price in a climate lottery that includes travelling by airplane to another county to ask a question? Wasn´t travel one of the big problem everyone agrees about?
This is boring. Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year. The IPCC reports in AR6, chapter 11, "The total global frequency of TC [tropical cyclone] formation will decrease or remain unchanged with increasing global warming (medium confidence)." Not that I really care about what the IPCC says. Multidecadal variability in Atlantic hurricaines is most probably related to the AMO (Vecchi et al, 2021). NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. What the data from NOAA SPC shows about tornados: EF1-EF5 (1954-2022) no trend; EF3-EF5 (most destructive) (1954-2022) 50% decline. No EF5s in US since 2013 (a record absence).
The Global Land Precipitation Anomaly from AR5 will disappoint with deviations from the average increasing by 0.2% per decade, but if you look at the actual data, it's just very variable over the decades.
Drought appears to be decreasing globally (Watts et al, 2018) measured by SPI 1901-2017.
For every million people on earth, annual deaths from climate-related causes (extreme temperature, drought, flood, storms, wildfires) declined 98%–from an average of 247 per year during the 1920s to 2.5 in per year during the 2010s.
Data on disaster deaths come from (EM-DAT, CRED / UCLouvain, Brussels,Belgium. )
Globally 2000-2019 there was a large decrease in cold-related deaths and a moderate increase in heat-related deaths (Zhao, 2021, Lancet). However, coldwaves are over 9 times more likely to kill than heatwaves, so the overall result is very beneficial.
What else? Oh, deserts like the Sahara have shrunk considerably and the Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime (NASA).
The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded.
On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years. At that frequency it will take over 930,000 years to reach 80% extinction of species experienced at the K-T boundary that saw the extinction of the dinosaurs.
There is no climate crisis.
I'm so tired of hearing the consensus argument. Educated consensus used to hold that the sun revolved around the earth. Consensus does not equate with accuracy. Scientific reality is not decided through election.
We have to cool down earth asap!!!
Even if we choose to tell the whole picture drastically, politicians are doing nothing, not because the story is boring, but because politicians and people in charge are rich, lazy and ignorant, working only for wealth and power.
Earth is on fire but humans will not take action until it burns to ashes.
So it's been 8 years since this video, well, where is the climate crises?
8 years ago since the Video was made, still co2 percentage parts in atmosphere are rising
Greta told us the world would end yesterday.
"Experts" also told us an ice-age is coming.
Why we don't ban individual vehicle?
For starter.
And stop carry around 1 ton of metal along with one human ass.
It kills more people than any war and looks much more scary than any other pandemic.
Nobody cures it for 100 years.
For americans this is kinda too radical thought but we must do it at some point.
and cows. we must kill them all. or just make them stop farting.
Problem: recycling actually isn't important. It could become important in the future, so it's good that we have the collective will and infrastructure to support it, but the technology to actually do the job isn't yet present. Rather it's a fruitless exercise that shifts the burden from the biggest polluters to populations that aren't actually as significant a part of the problem.
the lawn is boring AF. no diversity whatsoever
1.4 parts per 10,000. That's how LITTLE CO2 we've added to the atmosphere. That's how you realize that CO2 climate change is a giant lie/scam.
Bunch of lies. Econazis.
Boy oh boy do I have bad news for you veritasium from 2014. Norah here from 2023 aka the hottest year in the past two centuries here to tell you… it’s getting way worse than you could’ve ever imagined and no one seems to be able to stop it
If you're of the opinion that governments will fix the problem you're so off track. Let's propose a scenario.
If all Countries agree to not do it, countries that don't agree will become industry leaders & profiting massively. The other countries dont want to give them that advantage so they will pull out too to keep their economic lead. There is no government solution, and people will never care about it. Thus it will either end us or a treaty will be signed which will be broken leading to war.
Isn’t CH4 more dangerous than CO2 ?
Another leftist telling us, "You will be assimilated." Nah, we won't.
Got a PragerU video climate denier video as the first result when I searched “Veritasium Climate Change.” In case anyone wonders where Google really stands.
I like you, but stick to what you know. Al Gore and legions like him did make themselves rich from the climate change scam. Climate change was happening long before humans.
hello here from 2024 it is no longer boring my lungs are full of smoke
The story is a scam
There are many good reasons why they removed the carbon tax, and why it's not a great idea. Especially in developping countries it's basically a death sentence to people whose financial survival is decided monthly. Higher energy prices means higher death rates due to unintended consequences
