Maiya May is on a mission to understand the impacts of climate change and how to stop it. She brings viewers along to learn where we are and where we’re going as greenhouse gasses reach record levels. Have we crossed major climate tipping points? And are there positive tipping points that will help slow global warming faster than expected?
Can coral survive record ocean temperatures? Will thawing permafrost trigger runaway warming? How do we cool our cities and replenish groundwater? Watch to find out!

Sad
Cause God's will for us 🙏
Climate change is driven by the Sun, not by human activity and not by carbon dioxide.
It’s too late to be political, now we’re hitting El Niño which has made things much hotter for now. Just wait it will be a couple of cold winters finally and then shift back t being hot af! As they even said, “we have yet to understand this” and that is where we will all have to watch and let it play out
A world war that never ends
We can slow the change, and better the world. It will take about one thousand years.
What? Climate change? How dumb are you? IT is ALL about people making money. WE ARE NOT CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!!!
These people just want to control you and your actions and they want to use AI to do it! Don't believe a word they say
The end of the world as we know it.
Another voice that says we crossed the tipping point a long time ago. I think we crossed it in 2000.
We are the dinosaurs.
Yes, that is the case. The video presents an optimistic view of potential technological solutions while downplaying the harsh reality that many climate tipping points have already been crossed and that worsening conditions are largely inevitable without significant systemic changes. It gives a sense of hope, but this optimism may not fully account for the depth and scale of the challenges ahead, which makes it feel like it’s not confronting the unavoidably worsening situation in its entirety.
Absolutely nothing to do with an imaginary tipping point. It is a cyclical process with or without us. We're not that special.
The planet is just adjusting from the last ice age. Earth has always been much warmer and shes ready to wear shorts again
Nature. It’s cyclical. What a bunch of arrogant people, to think we can affect it one way or another.
Is there a nuclear power plant draining into the water there?
The only place in the U.S it won’t effect, is buffalo New York, the only thing they’ll see is less snow!!
Building Building and more Building!! Especially Down south!!! I live in Daytona Beach For 23 years and the heat is no Joke!!!
MAGA PBS taking L's from YouTube "United Nations • Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas." don't post Trumps bs as soon it'll be terrorism
those of us who, for many decades, have been warning the world about the fact that the science of climate change has not been exaggerating things, but in fact has been too conservative, are ever frustrated with the self destructive stupidity of our species. the science will only correct further and the lesson of noah will have to be learned by humanity once again. there is a reason why the 7 deadly sins are, well, deadly!
DR K F SOCCER S-P-C KNOWS THAT THE EARTH HAS TWO 50 YEAR CYCLES AND TWO MAJOR SEISMIC SHIFTS
1-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH CLOSED UP THE TECTONIC PLATES FOR ABOUT 25 YEAR PERIOD EVERY 50 YEARS
2-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH OPENS UP AND CLOSES UP IN A 25 YEAR PEROID EVERY 50 YEARS
WHY IS PBS SCIENCE AND HISTORY OF THE PLANET'S TWO MAJOR 50 YEAR CYCLES
DR K F SOCCER S-P-C KNOWS THAT
DEALING WITH OLD BAD BACKWARD SCIENCE OF OUR PLANET =BAD BAD SCIENCE
DR K F SOCCER S-P-C KNOWS THAT
SURPRISED YOU DO NOT KNOW????
Windmills, solar panels and batteries (all non-recyclable), are built using lots of rare-earth metals (mining of which both pollutes and strips away natural carbon sinks like forests) and would need to carpet half the planet to even approach the energy generation of fossil fuels. Solar panels, wind turbines, and lithium ion battery technology are extremely destructive to the natural processes that keep organic life healthy. The waste products of these "green" technologies pollute the very systems we rely on. No country has seen any significant gains using these unsustainable technologies, but they have filled up a lot of landfills or been dumped in the countryside (see wind turbines dumped in the German countryside). There is no green solution to our insatiable desire for abundant energy and cheap electricity. It doesn't exist.
I need ur help I know how to save.the planet
Solar panels aren’t enough. We could have done it 10 years back if we’re not irrationally scared of nuclear energy and just pushed it forward en masse instead. Solar deployment and storage is currently taking too long and storage far too expensive at scale.
Yea…. the United States Government has learned how to manipulate the weather! China does it all the time!
So yea, mess with Mother Nature, she will bite back! I’m so sick of people trying to play GOD.
I thank you for this weather bout climate change keep up the great work on climate change gorgeous ma'am
No mention of toxic weather manipulation causing extreme weather.. (cloud seeding, HAARP ect) no mention of natural climate change when we are heading towards a polar flip… no mention that with out carbons plants won't survive and nor will we and without it we will head to another ice age quicker… no mention of most forest fires are due to arson… no mention of the many coral reefs that are regenerating around the world… we have had years of being told seas are rising, the world's warming yet the low lying land in the UK where I live hasn't changed or been flooded over in my 56 years of life… in 2013 a Leaked United Nations report reveals the world's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years… and I doubt its changed much since… I used to be scared about climate change the way that the elites would like you to believe to keep us controlled.. but now I have woken up and see through the BS… I am way more worried about mictoplastics effecting our planet but they are rarely mentioned!! The Zero carbon agenda is a death sentence for all life!!
YES climate change is real, but we the people are not the direct cause of this with our fossil fuels. The climate has always been in change, it has warmer and colder cycles, look at the historical data. We are in the warmer cycle right now and also the Sun is more active. Its government propaganda BS to accuse and make more taxes to people because of climate change. I live in EU and these new climate agendas and taxes are complete BS by the greedy globalists who want to control the people like prisoners.
Earth need get cold
Very interesting subject but after 5 minutes of listening to all the background noise and ringing and dinging and sounds, music I guess made this impossible to watch. I had to turn it off.
climate hysteria is a religion, not a science
And yet there are certain politicians who still believe climate change is a hoax, and keeps on wanting to “drill, baby, drill”. To hell with him and his supporters
Actuslly it has been started.
water vapour Sun and cosmic radiation combined with a decreasing magnetic field -16%
Cutting down rain forests and killing big grazers. growing from 1 billion to 8.
Co2 from 0.038 to 0.04 is nonsense. Plants need much more.
0.04 is actually way to low best greenhouse level is 0.08 – 0.1
🐂💩 propaganda and fear mongering you into compliance of their dystopian future for us. What don't they tell you that the Great Barrington Reef has been regrowing and is almost larger than ever recorded or our planet is 20% greener. They won't tell you because it would show their narrative is a lie
Most informative information . I had no idea what perma frost was until watching this. That was so neat to learn and to find out! Thank you!!😢
spooktaulous!
The age of gluttony is not over by a long shot.
The emperor will save us in 30k years.
I lived in the keys for 25 yrs starting in the mid 80s. The reef has been dying for all that time. Now invasive fish have been setting up, too, for years. While the attempt at coral gardening is worthy, it's not going to replace the reef. False sense of hope. It's already done. Knowing when to adapt? That started in the late 70s with the ozone layer and the warnings. Decades later, here we are. 😕 Being realistic hurts. The sappy way this was related is telling. Educational? Okay. But the cheerfulness and the lack of seriousness says it all. We're not evolving "adapting" we're just "educating". 300 million years of reef growth gone in less than 100 yrs. Sad.
Tipping Point is here. Fires, floods, earthquakes, plagues, are the new normal.
All this and the reef's are moving to different waters and doing fantastic in these warmer climates that were at one time coral rich environments
I want to see a year to year project that measures gas and looks at new grouth
It would be nice, to see a change for better in our climate uncontrol!
The first thing you mentioned was the increase in population! Hmm
could you please tell me how you get all this precise data about weather 10000 years ago….???
science = facts….. and facts need reference and proof…this why people around the world don't believe this hoax….
