Thank you BBC for the reminder. I’ve started to love and cherish what I already have for the environment and my inner peace. No need to rush to buy or produce new there are things that can be used without any problem.
Yawn. Won't be using this propaganda!

background music makes me upset…
Thanks a lot for the video, lovely!!!!!
Can I ask…. What does "overwhelming" mean in this sentence "All these words and numbers can feel overwhelming" ? Thank you 😉
If a rise of CO2 in the atmosphere of up to just 500 PPM is so bad for the world today why did the dinosaurs flourish for millions of years with CO2 levels at 2,000 PPM and higher?
In fact as the CO2 levels dropped off over millions of years the plants and animal life got smaller and smaller… Why is this accepted "FACT" ignored within the scientific community and those pushing climate change?
As the CO2 goes up plants grow bigger and produce more O2 resulting in animals growing bigger. This is basic biology 101 not rocket science.. few
Great animation, keep doing 👌
Wow, I love this kind of short video. Impressive.
Thank you BBC I love this content
In circular economy, we have “make”, “use” and “reuse “but we only” make” and “use “ 😭
Amazing!!
Thanks to BBC. We feel more degree than 1.5! It seems to higher

I wonder how accurate the temperature has been rising at present 🙁
I have just discovered this channel and I think, watching videos like this is the best way to improve our skills and knowledge.Thanks for informative lessons 👏👍
What would be signed at the end of COP26 is the creation of a body that, to mobilize these funds, would bring together the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank , the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, the Islamic Development Bank, the World Bank and 450 large companies. It is important to understand that the World Bank and especially the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have lost all credibility, to such an extent that it is no longer possible to continue indebting poor countries … but we must find how to maintain those countries under control. All governments already know that the "donations" and loans from international institutions are accompanied by leonine conditions that make their countries more vulnerable and that when the time comes for repayment the country will no longer be the owner of anything. With COP26, bankers will be able to lend money to “save the planet” and become owners of the countries whose leaders have trusted them.
Thank you BBC for this interesting video! For anyone interested in climate change, I am international climate change lawyer and my Youtube channel has videos about climate change law.
i couldn't understand the last one
1. Net zero
2. Circular economy
3. 1.5 degrees
Learn English by all means but don’t listen to their climate change propoganda.
Thanks for sharing
Provide untampered, empirical and direct evidence for all man made climate change claims, predictions and tipping points that have been proven ?
No attribution, emotions or manipulative lies !
Simply great
