CrashCourse 
We know that temperatures on Earth have fluctuated dramatically in the past, but we also know that by burning fossil fuels we are causing temperatures to rise faster than ever. In this episode of Crash Course Climate and Energy, we’ll introduce some core concepts that will help us throughout the series, like the difference between climate and weather, and take a look back through the Earth’s history at other periods of significant climate change.
Chapters:
Introduction: Climate Change 00:00
The Greenhouse Effect 2:16
Earth’s Climate Record 4:54
Fossil Fuels & The Industrial Revolution 7:58
Climate vs. Weather 9:40
Climate Change’s Effects 10:34
Review & Credits 11:36

About The Author
It's interesting and the tone of the speaker is gentle and appealing, i like it
Excellent 👍 Work
Love from Pakistan
Outstanding Video
y not create a series on everyday science
Most don't see a connection with Earth. Like we are separate. The truth is the Earth will be fine. We will not be. 10 minutes of this video is speculation on a history or future we will never know. Humans…. what are ya gonna do?
Crash Course has a bright future
I love this!!!!!
Hoping to live long enough to see Florida under water.
As someone from a place which has been facing and will face far more serious consequences of climate change while also having a relatively far low carbon footprint as compared to the leading nations and superpowers and economic beasts of this world, I highly appreciate the new series.
I am looking forward to the series.
One factor I hope you also cover is how climate change choices are intertwined with other "crises" that people are also concerned about: Hunger, Information and Energy access, Plastic Pollution, Wildlife Preservation, Anti-Nuclear. Ex: Here in Oregon, there has been a push to eliminate disposable plastic bags (mostly) because waste and wildlife pretty much every other solution requires way more energy to produce than can ever be recovered. This is made worse because people that promote their priorities tend to ignore the consequences of their proposals.
Just a thought to help people understand what’s happening to our climates. Rather than describe what’s happening as the earth heating up, describe it as extreme climate variability caused by an above average increase in solar energy trapped in the atmosphere and oceans which, when released as weather, powers the extreme events that are occurring more often. Then the doubters can’t use extreme cold snaps and wet periods as proof the earth isn’t heating up? It’s more complicated, it more accurate.
Try to add subtitles in the videos It would be beneficial more for everyone.
Climate change is all the regulations and red tape we legislated along the way
What happened over the years
I LOVE THIS TOPIC‼️thank you sm 🙂 I learned a lot from thos
thank you for making this video series! 🌍💚
“Hi hi?” What’s with that?
Really great video. Thanks❣👍 This helped me finish my science report on climate and weather.
New things I learned today:
While most scientists are merely people who study or have expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences, good scientists nerd out about stuff.
Great video.
The only problem with climate change is the colossal amount of money it's going to cost to try and prevent something that we have little or no control over. A nice little earner for the mega greedy already invested in so called green energy.
How does 415ppm co2 cause climate crisis when 6000ppm during the Cambrian period did not?
they never say that the more co2 the bigger the atmophere become… they talk like co2 didnt creat the atmosphere .. the more co2 the bigger they atmosphere and once big enough it will cold done …
I wish I could get a friend of mine to watch this series or at least even this single episode. While not a denier that things are changing he firmly believes (yes, from watching lots of Fox News) that humans have zero impact and therefore there's nothing we can do to change it. Quite the cop-out. He didn't take much of any science in school or college and is only business focused. Unfortunately taking responsibility for climate change has costs, but as this series will no doubt point out, NOT taking responsiblity also has costs. Though those costs will mostly be paid by future generations. I, me, everything, here, right now, screw everyone else and it makes no matter in the future when I'm dead is the life philosophy of far too many people. 😔
I don't understand the connection between higher climate Temps and extreme weather. Weather is caused by temperature gradient, isn't it? If the entire planet is uniformly warmer, where is there a larger gradient coming from to cause more extreme weather?
Thank you for making a series on climate and energy !!!

It's odd how millions of years of temperature change (in the rocks and glaciers as she says) was done without humans but now it's only because of humans? explain?
Combining climate and energy was really thoughtful, thanks to the team behind and the queen of ice pop
Save Soil Please
Can someone explain to me, why is it so bad when the ice poles melt and the crocodiles thrive there due to climatechange?
🫡🫡🫡
Thank you for showing the blobfish in the water, instead of it abomination it becomes on land.
The volleyball examples, was an awesome props. 🤩🏐
The definition just killed me in the very first minute of the video. It says "climate change" is purely artificial problem. I thought science deals with prediction of what nature is does?
cool but mid
8:53 so like 30% faster than before the industrial revolution
Public-private partnerships expedite the implementation of sustainable initiatives, pooling resources and expertise to amplify the impact of environmental conservation efforts.
Thanks for the video!
Can we talk about how cool that editing was with the volleyball at 3:42?? Had to watch it like 4 times cause I was so dazzled
