  1. Trump repeatedly used climate change as the main reason for a planning application to County Clare Council to build a feckin great sea wall to protect his Doonbeg golf course from rising sea levels. Trump embraced the science of climate change when it threatened his property and his money. Feckin hypocrite.

  2. This is more pandering to the populace of the usa! Fact is nothing We the people do in US makes any difference now! China and , probably now, India have sealed the deal! Not that they are too blame at all, they are not to blame! The WEST is! its very old and known its called GREED! Greed for more and more capitolism demands it. About 7 billion people are going away long before 2100!

  3. Bottom line its world wide overpopulation we need world wide population control less people less green house gases we all need to stop breeding STOP ! Save the planet too many cars too many packed like sardines subdivisions!!!! Stop breeding wake up!!!

  4. And chicken little ran around saying, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. This scam has been pulled so many times in history that a story to educate children was invented hundreds of years ago.

  5. Neither Climate nor Climate Change causes, fuels, or influences weather. The climate changing (as it has done since the earth's inception) is a change is the statistics of weather, of which we do not have nearly enough information to make any definitive conclusions. The climate changing is an outcome, not a cause. This is also why human attribution is completely impossible.

  6. Trump is a greedy narcissist, I hate to say. So yeah-fossil fuel admits to paying for campaigns of people like him who are willing to promote that global warming is a hoax and avidly undermine all progress toward clean solutions.

  7. Does Trump truly have such a dim grasp of climate warming and America’s premier role in it that he doesn’t fear some sort of retaliation from other nations if he cancels US fossil fuel restrictions.

  8. I have been experiencing extreme weather events since childhood. I'm 67. Here in Canada the carbon tax has a devastating influence of prices and jobs. Just the typically reaction on the left: At the right is fascism and planetary devastation. You don't have more to say? Boring!

  9. Too little, too late. Check out the recent C3S article, "Hottest May on record spurs call for climate action", which includes data on our 0.75 degC global temp increase over the 3.5 yrs. and above the 1991-2020 baseline ave., which is 0.214 degC annually on ave., so we could see 2.degC by 2027, and 3 degC by 2032, as well as a 1 degC every 5 yrs. thereafter. If this trend continues, as we burn 8 billion tons of coal per year and 100 million barrels of oil (and equivalent in NG) per day, then we could see 6 degC by 2047, or the 23rd BD of any child unlucky enough to be born today.

  10. In July, at 20 km above the Antarctic, the temperature suddenly warmed by approx 50 degrees Celsius in a week (called a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). SSWs are not rare in the north hemisphere, but are in the southern hemisphere and have never been seen in winter.
    The rapid warming is starting to filter down to the surface in Antarctica, which has potential to impact weather events through August and into the southern spring.
    Meanwhile, Trump is telling his audience that climate change is imaginary and/or a lie and has promised big fossil fuel industry owners he will allow them to do whatever they want at the expense of the environment, so long as they give him US$1billion.

  11. Watching from the State of Rhode Island-Excellent expose' as usual-please do keep up this great/necessary work-but it speaks to the problem in a big way that-as of this comment-"only"-some 56k views of this video are showing-it should-at least-be something like 10-times-that number. People need to wake tha 'f-up-in a big way-but at least maybe you're helping. 😳

  12. This chart and numbers are wack. The weather patterns of earth change dramatically every 10k to 12k years. Weather has always been veritable. The Maldives (islands) they said were sinking; now they’re building hotels on them. The ice in the Bering Strait is thickening. The Great Barrier Reef isn’t dying, it’s growing just fine. The overall temp is lower than it has been in the entire history of earth along with CO2 levels. The ocean level is expected to rise above 1 inch in the next 100 years; so will the land. What’s happening is normal. Hurricanes are not happening more often or becoming more severe: look at the 1930’s. The horrible forest fires are happening because of poor forest management in not burning the under brush with controlled burns. Investigate and stop jumping on band wagons. Stop being a parrot.

  13. A lot of young people do not want to bring children in to this world. Many believe we have tipped the scales to far to bring the earth and species back to a healthy survivable state. Plastic production will increase by 40% in the next 10 years. If we don't do anything about the plastic soup, oceans will carry more plastic than fish (by weight) by 2050. Marine life will be irreparably destroyed. Ruin the ocean, ruin the world. 🐳🐬🐡🐙🐠🐟

    I'm concerned about the temperature and over exploitation of the water and the food chain. Nearly 80% of the world's fisheries that are already fully exploited, over exploited, depleted, or in a state of collapse. Worldwide, 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish, such as sharks, tuna, marlin, and swordfish, are already gone!

  14. We still have no idea how to slow the use of fossil fuel. Humans are too stupid even if their hearts are in the right place. Nothing we have done helps, solar and wind do nothing, and we are too dumb to see it.
