My favorite part is where he is asked what we can do to stop climate change, and his primary answer is to petition the government to address it. Why? Because big industry will have to be forced to address climate change, they'll not voluntarily do so, and they are the primary source of carbon dioxide. Big industry puts forward that illusion, to avoid compliance themselves. Much like recycling, it's a smoke screen, the creators of plastic items should be responsible for funding recycling, not the consumers.

Greta Thunberg Leo di Caprio Al Gore Joe Biden and the British Royal family are doing more to “save the planet” than the rest of the world put together. They are explaining the science. The Bible is thousands of years old and talks about the deserts in the Middle East it talks about droughts and famine. But thanks to Greta and King Charles we now know the Bible was talking about NOW and climate change. We know that droughts are new, floods are new, earthquakes are new, hurricanes in Florida are all new, shrinking rainforest is new. It’s all due to CO2 emissions of normal working class people. Before 2020 there has never been an illness that could wipe out millions of people. Before 2020 all vaccines were wrong, we now know you are supposed to take vaccines every year. Before 2020 volcanoes earthquakes hurricanes blizzards melting ice floating icebergs that could sink a ship never happened. We all need to get vaccinated against climate change now. CO2 is required by plants and trees. We need to stop CO2 we need stop plants NOW. THE UNITED NATIONS says so. They have all worked together and now we need to do our bit and send world leaders on private planes to all the capital cities to stay at all the luxury hotels to tell us what need to do. There are problems with food supplies and prices are going up. But this is because the war in the Ukraine, so if Ukraine has a democracy there will be universal peace in the Middle East and every commodity will be 100 per cent cheaper so world hunger will cease and energy will be free.

However, he didn't have time to talk about the difference between industrial monoculture agriculture and small diverse regenerative agriculture, like permaculture and agroforestry technics. Those have the potential to save local breeds/subtypes of food related organisms, while regenerating the soil, improving local access to clean water and increasing the diversity of local wildlife ( that you weren't planning on harvesting) including native bees! The idea is to mimic indigenous farming technics and encourage natural ecosystems roles. A lot of farming can also be done around wind turbines and solar panels too.
The thing that infuriates me is when people say, "Hey, look at the weather! Its cold one day and hot the next. This is crazy." Then jump into their diesel trucks and belch exhaust into the air. Its like they don't understand that there is some cause and effect involved. These sudden temperature changes are going to lead to a drought that is going to affect us on a global scale. Food will be harder to grow and people will fight over clean fresh water.

Always amazing to me that some people really think "big climate research" has more influence than companies that have been ultra wealthy for over a century.
Excellent answers. As a scientist who answers questions in on-line forums, I am amazed at the level of AGW denial that persists today. To the extent that anything is ever "settled science", the fundamentals of global warming are known and accepted by virtually all researchers. There are differences over the mechanistic details and the timing, but there is no question that it is occurring at an increasing rate and that human activity is the major driver. No other model adequately explains the data.
I appreciate this guy prioritizing activism over personal action because the former has much MUCH more of a measurable effect on climate change than the latter.

That is an example of a typical activist lei though. A scientist would never say that. It is true that on average summers will get hotter, but the random part of how hot a specific summer gets is still multiple time bigger than the impact of climate change. While one summer can randomly be a few degrees warmer or colder than the summer before, climate change is less than 0.1 degrees per year. So a record summer will not be the coldest for the rest of your life.
Peter does a good job explaining things! Well done
13:40 He actually forgot to mention one crucial aspect of methane in the atmosphere: while it is true that methane only lasts there on average for ten years, the reaction that breaks down methane sees it reacting with oxygen to produce water and ...carbon dioxide. So after spending ten years being 50 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than the most important one, it then reacts to become it.

The thought that 110deg F (43 deg C) 100% humidity, sticky weather will probably be the coolest summer I’ve ever experienced horrifies me.

i vAs an environmental scientist, I know what he's saying is true. He mentioned how the more ice melts, the more the waters heat up due to lack of albedo (reflection of light in %), hence leading to more ice lose, is just one positive feedback loop. He mentions the positive feedback loop with regards to the atmosphere's ability to hold more water as temperatures increase. There are many more of these cycles that will heat the climate. Until people, as a species, respect the world we we were given we will become our own demise. Humans are a virus to the Earth, and we gave it a fever t kill us off.
Regarding Hurricane Season: in theory, the season can expand as the years go by and the weather increases in heat. So, it can be even earlier and even latter.

I've seen information regarding carbon capture by restoring sea grass which has greatly been impacted by pollutants. Seems simple enough plant more plants and trees. I've seen hemp being used to capture carbon and used with less concrete to create building materials that are flame resist to avoid releasing more carbon. I believe there are solutions and mother nature can provide us with relief we just have to look for them and do something about it.

The problem is that we have probably, if not certainly, hit a point of no return where these solution will be far less effective simply because these buffers assume a range of temperatures we will never have again as long as humans live. I mean, we should do them, but at this point there is no hope.

@@iantaakalla8180 Thing about carbon in the soil is it holds 70 times it's weight in water, so even if we had hit the point of no return (which I don't think is the case), this is still beneficial, as that carbon catching the water reduces flooding & then it's slow release of that water also reduces droughts, so the further gone we are, the more beneficial it is to get more carbon into the soils all around us & agricultural land & wildfire prone areas (must be under the surface in wildfire areas though, not sitting on the surface under the trees, ready to ignite)

Doesn't more carbon in the air increase plant growth worldwide? Of course only if there is enough water available for those plants.

Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (at least carbon-12 does) which is probably what he was thinking of.

also, co2 structure is wrong. It is linear. That does not invalidade everything else he said, tho

So obvious a cult creator. He gets arrested and it's called "heroic". It's embarrassing to scientific minds.
Two corrections to be made: 1) CO2 is not angular, it is linear. The molecular model was incorrect. 2) Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, not 12 and 12.
It is great that the most replayed part is about Florida being under water. So everyone is just interested in the positive side effect of climate change.
