We’re nearly halfway through the 2020s, dubbed the most decisive decade for action on climate change. Where exactly do things stand? Climate impact scholar Johan Rockström offers the most up-to-date scientific assessment of the state of the planet and explains what must be done to preserve Earth’s resilience to human pressure.

About The Author
There are too many people
@7:09 They are detonating nuclear explosions underneath the Ocean, that is what is happening, the Earth is being consciously destroyed from every angle not by ordinary human existence, they are just blaming it on us.
This is the most scary report i have seen to date. What are the world (leaders) doing about this, nothing, countries on this planet are more interested in war than saving the planet. I’m scared shitless.
We don't need to worry about the Amazon rainforest deforestation. The way things are going there, we'll reach past 20% loss in no time…
(I'm being sarcastic, of course)
Warming is fake
Human nature + Capitalism = Doom
Well if they quit manipulating our weather with toxic chemicals via Chemtrails, then the problem is solved. They are destroying our air, soil, trees, water, food, health. By the way, fossil fuel is another lie, oil does not come from dinosaurs. (Haha). It is a renewable and it is a natural resource and an abundance of it.
Since the late 1800s we've been talking about Global warming then in 1975 Newsweek on the front cover stated global cooling? When the planet begin to warm we went back to global warming alarmism then when the temperatures stopped rising we called it climate change that research is big business grants are given to get results that match the political dogma the vast majority of high temperatures recorded were in the 1930s when we had a dust bowl as far as carbon dioxide goes we are in a carbon drought compared to history we are presently at 420 parts per million that is 0.04 percent plants stop growing at 150 parts per million greenhouse growers increase CO2 in their grow rooms beyond a thousand parts per million NASA allows 7,000 parts per million in a space capsule the Navy allows 5,000 parts per million in a submarine CO2 is necessary for photosynthesis the planet has actually greened over the last 15-20 years when you increase CO2 plants do not have to open their pores on their leaves as much therefore they do not lose as much water making the planet greener 60% of our oxygen is created by plankton in the ocean that Plankton absorbs CO2 during photosynthesis the largest greenhouse gas is water vapor watch the documentary The Great global warming swindle by Martin Durkin in that documentary is one of the founding members of Greenpeace there are 1,000 active volcanoes at any given time we cannot produce that kind of pollution or CO2 if man is causing anything it's miniscule carbon tax is a transfer of wealth and as far as carbon capture goes that stored CO2 is sold back to indoor growers and is put in your soda pop to give you carbonation Barack Obama bought a 17 million dollar house in Martha's vineyard right on the ocean if he believed in rising sea levels he would not have done that the elites fly around on their private jets use massive private yachts live in multiple homes and drive around in gas guzzling limousines all the while they tell you to reduce your carbon footprint that sounds like a hypocrite to me they don't believe it but they want you to please watch that documentary that I mentioned
The tipping has been reached… the stupidity of alarmist climate politics has tipped and will cause seious harm to the planet. Mass hysteria has ever only led to stupidity.
People don't want to change. They want others to change.
Scientific statistics and propoganda and scare mongering
all this information shows is that people are stupid enough to buy into some individuals with some extra letters after there names rantings and Wild clams backed by AI
I don't doubt humans are doomed dew to our stupidity
But the planet will be fine it's out lasted at least half a dozen intelligent species from the past
Aren't we already at 1.5°? So we won't make it. Someone buckling up? No.
Take it easy people. The Earth will survive jus without humans.
This is heartbreaking to me…
The ignorace and greed of humanity will be our downfall and perhaps permanently so…
A scortched rock toxic rock is all that will remain. Ive stockpiled but that will only delay the inevitable. We are all in this together and theres no where to run…period.
Harris David Johnson Kimberly Walker William
At least in the very first minute he admit he doesn't know anything and was death WRONG about his expectations. A very good start to believe him in all of his next baseless fear mongering.
The problem in America is people insist on listening to & believing politicians instead of scientists
Exxon's propaganda is too powerful for science to stand a chance.
The UN's CO2 scam needs to be exposed big time but we are in an uphill battle against the controlled propaganda media. CO2 is NOT a pollutant, it is what makes plants grow. The more CO2, the more is taken up by plants and the more plant growth there is. CO2 is .4% of the supposed greenhouse gasses and humans contribute .04% of THAT. The biggest producer by far is the oceans and this is due to the sun. Warm periods give rise to higher CO2 outputs by the ocean some hundreds of years later. Our age actually has the LOWEST CO2 in the history of the planet. Our vast deserts were once green and fertile lush lands.
If you all think that cow farts are part of the problem, welcome to the brainwashed club.
YOU ARE BEING LIED TO, climate change is a trillion dollar scam, find out for yourself and read all the independent scientific papers including the UN 🇺🇳’s own paper on it admitting it.
Johan is such a fabulous speaker and a pro-active awareness raiser! A worrying but beautifully presented status of the planet. Tipping Points are finally becoming a topic of governance discussing…even if only to start setting scenarios and drive story-lining of impacts. We should know at least know what to expect.
The gravity law for the antropic climate change is the terraplanista level simple idea that more co2 means more temperature. Keep on swallowing defenders of the faith, you ar just occidental talibans.
There have been many periods of millions of years in which this law has not been fulfilled. So is a false argument that make computer simulations a fantasy, a convenient one for them. That's why they never get their predictions right and they have to increse forcing parametres and add/invent new feedback and actors that are a thousand times less abundant.
Just investigate all the arguments, how they get them, listen to all the arguments and think, dont belive, see it for your self.
Its a masive propaganda program to steal your wallet, your life and your freedom.
After 30 years of believing, without verifying and without the predictions coming true, it was enough to look by mayself to see the fraud.
Earth does not give a D*mn about our property lines and boarders.
Money, human greed, and power grabbing will matter more all the way up until the end of the world 😂
The rich and powerful will never pay it forward to take the needed action to help us work together on removing greenhouse gases. They have already duped a generation and are preparing to escape while the rest of us are left to die. I'm just going to live out the rest of my life as best I can until it's all over. We're cooked
Thank you!
Stop frightening the children and the easily lead, how much are you getting paid from the wef.
when a cult of personality can rise in the most advanced country, and stall efforts for a decade at the worst time imaginable, can you still say there is hope? the rich and powerful will always think their privelege will save them, and if they cared about others being saved they wouldn’t be rich and powerful. capitalism was a good idea but we were too stupid to keep up with the moral and ethical implications of the free market. america traded one monarch for a million. rip, humanity.
