A new UN report predicts that we have as few as 12 years to make drastic changes to the global energy infrastructure if we want to curtail climate change in time. Read more: www.vox.com/2018/10/8/17948832/climate-change-global-warming-un-ipcc-report

The entire world needs to change. All the countries (except the US) in the Paris Climate Agreement promised to slow or start curtailing their CO2 emissions at the year 2035 We were the most ambitious in the agreement. Changing now. At least, we were. The others wanted to reap the benefits without any of the struggle at least for another 17 years.

Daniel Martins and Piotr Czajkowski, no that is the defeatism that plays into the strategy regarding those that don't want to do anything about the issue. Layback Studios and TheCatLord, there was a lot of careful planning and negotiation into the Paris Accord. It was based on the assumption that it is fair for the major causes of the problem to take on a bit of the earlier share. The USA is by a good margin the largest historical emitter, both per capita and the country as a whole. The agreement was fair, and in fact even generous to the USA in some respects given our country's primary role in the existing greenhouse gases. One could argue that nobody knowingly wanted to change the atmosphere in this way, but consequences are consequences. No amount of selfish economic interest posturing will change that especially when our country is most easily poised to make the biggest difference early on. There are Saudi Arabia sized energy efficiency gains to be had in the USA, and that is just efficiency, not counting energy conservation, R&D, and lower GHG sources like nuclear, etc.

@ryanotte6737

5 жыл бұрын

@tmWasted Not false. I said historical emitter. Only in recent years has China surpassed USA in yearly emission rate, and even then the per capita emissions for China are lower due to their substantially larger population. The atmosphere's thermal balance only cares about total amount of heat-trapping gases, total contribution. Furthermore, if one takes into account a good chunk of China's manufacturing sector emissions are based on exports for USA consumption, then China just recently surpassing USA is even less significant. Take into account manufacturing exports and the USA's yearly emissions would be substantially higher than China's. Furthermore, the Chinese have substantially more R&D money going into GHG sequestration and reduction than USA Energy Dept. They are taking steps in some ways already where the Paris Accord has their obligations delayed somewhat. The EU is in much the same situation relative to the USA, doing more despite having a smaller per-person contribution to the problem. Try as you might to escape responsibility, the facts show that on a per-person basis a USA citizen has had far more contribution to the problem than a Chinese citizen. The Paris Accord is fair, and in fact generous to the USA. That being said, the framers of the Paris Accord might have figured on anticipating a selfish backlash from high emission nations and planned on a same-time start date for all countries, but with differing percentage contributions. That being said, the world's negotiations can't drop everything just to please these people, either.

tech nician up in the mountains the temperature is always going to be colder as long as our atmosphere stays the way it is, up at those altitudes it’s colder. But that’s not the point, that’s weather, we’re talking about climate and what that means is that the hotter the climate gets, the less effective the ozone layer is, the less cold the poles will be, etc. It’s undeniable, the “proof” these politicians show isn’t representative of the problem, they show what is convenient to their argument and you might as well not care because in about 30 years you’ll probably be dead, but what about us, the youth? What will we do when the Earth is so hot that the plants are going to start dying, more animals are gonna go extinct, less water is gonna be available, what will we do?

+BaronZ I think you mean "uninhabitable". ;) And it _will_ be, at least for many humans. :/ We, as a species in toto, will end up doing what we always do: waiting until the last possible moment to do anything revolutionarily meaningful as a group about it. At this point, for all intents and purposes we've already missed the target temperature and all we can do now is work to help minimize the damage. But whatever happens, life, in some form, _will_ go on. Likely even for some humans. But, forget about having a laissez-faire attitude toward life and expecting all of the modern comforts we've come to take for granted. It will be a hard life and for many more it will be even harder and likely impossible. Millions, if not billions, will die and while most will be in poorer nations richer nations will not escape the impact. It will be much like the other "great dyings" that have occurred throughout Earth's history accept, as you said, it will occur relatively rapidly. How Republicans tricked their large rural voter base, who ostensibly care more about the environment than most, into denying climate change, I'll never really understand. That's one of the problems with a two party system. If your "team" says something, most just follow along without even really thinking. However, the Republicans will change their tune...eventually (and will have a lot of explaining to do, to boot). It's just a question of when... :/

They ignored the cons and took their bets on the wrong option, in this context it is the resource that will lead humanity. They did not try to take in a factor of risk and rather worked with what they knew worked, mastering it like art. But they didn't see that mastering Coal and Oil is completely useless as one day it'll run out. And when it does, they will have to start all over again. And Oil/Coal is fading as we know it today. The US is late to the race and has to take another bet on something new and start to try to master it as quickly as possible. Sadly, the world is just watching as they know the US will not be able to catch up to their own demise in resource. The world itself is in this same situation, but they're further on the race in places like Europe and etc who have took in that factor of risk and bet on a different resource of energy.

The rich folks in US did *bet on the wrong technology.* Coal and oil is not the future. It's the fading past. During the same time. China did build a massive capacity to produce solar panels and is making money on that. Europe has build a massive capacity to produce wind turbine parks, and is doing money with that.

Each one of us can reduce their carbon footprint by a little bit and that alone will make a huge impact. Eat less meat, walk to work or cycle to work or take public transport to work if possible. Take train instead of flying for holidays if possible. If related to work, try doing meeting via Skype. These recommendations are amongst the few given by the scientists at the recent cimate summit in Korea. There is no denying that it is time for action . Let's do this for our kids and our planet.

I see more and more people living indulgent lifestyles: Driving big trucks they don't need. Buying big homes they don't need. Eating more than they need. It's all a part of the same issue. Americans don't understand minimalism and reduction. The Christian values in this country have corrupted our culture. We simply believe we should take what we want, because it was given to us by God. Nothing has changed. 75 Percent of Americans identify as Christian... 75 percent of Americans still believe that they can take what they believe they need from God's green Earth. No matter what advancements we've made in science in the past 100 years, we still act on the same old fashioned desires. The idea of a big family with a big home. The strong dad that knows how to handle a hammer and drives a big manly truck while he eats a lot of meat and drinks beer with the beautiful wife that stays at home and cooks all of the meals for the family. I'm not being ironic here. This old country lifestyle that people so badly want in America is the reason why NO ONE wants to act on climate change. It means letting go of this pipe dream, and they will grasp onto literally any thread that suggests a drop of credibility in climate change deniers.

Honestly I try to see the good in Donald Trump but his decision to pull out of the Paris agreement caused me to loose all faith in the man, for me it was the last straw and clearly shows his very *close* relationship with the American oil companies which just shows how corrupt the system really is

China is doing more about climate change than we are, and we are the ones who loaded the atmosphere with CO2. Yes, I know that China is a bigger emitter than the US now, and has been for a couple years, but they are working hard to change it. The US is not. The US is today a "Rogue Nation". And BTW, there is ZERO good in Donald Trump.

Thousands of $20 bills flew across eight lanes of traffic in Indianapolis after they fell off a Brinks armored truck when the rear door flew open Wednesday. A highway camera shows traffic on I-70 in Indianapolis at a complete standstill as an estimated $600,000 in cash littered the highway. Jasmine Cooper was driving her grandmother to the airport when she saw the cash flying all over the place. “I was in shock at first, I’ve never seen anything like this,” she told Inside Edition.

If the government won't do anything about climate change, *we* need to take it into our own hands.

You US citizens decide who is in the US government , I don't. Because I'm Brazilian and I'm hostage (as Brazilian) of how the US decides what to prioritize.

There's still plenty of profit to be had in alternative energy. So many of these technologies are relatively new, and there are many technologies that haven't even begun yet. It's just that coal, oil and natural gas are well established and very well developed. The cheapest and easiest is always going to be ground zero in a huge war anytime someone threatens the power base that has grown up around it. Like any dangerous animal, it will fight to the death when its territory and existence is threatened. If we make it past this ultimate test, new battles will be fought over new energy technologies, and people of the future, if there is one for us, will look back on who we are right now and make mean jokes about us savages burning coal and oil actually literally in our homes, choking on the fumes and drooling over stupid shows on television. We will be the primitive roots of the human species that were too stupid to care about our own future. Humans of the future will compare us to humans of the dark ages, wallowing in our own waste and caring about nothing but our individual needs. At least I hope so. All I see right now is hot, blowing sand, dead trees and the forgotten bones of billions.

Yet they listen to hurricane warnings.

As a citizen on this world, I believe action miss be taken to prevent global warming and it's consequences. However, we the citizens have done very little to change it. we urge politicians to do what is right but people forget the cause with every new news article or news. we need to take action, and if the politicians don't make it we will, However the action taken until now hasn't been useful, in that case, we the citizens will take an action by ourselves to make sure politicians hear us. Protest won't work, we demand however not realize they are ignoring us and this will keep being like this until we take further action. if peaceful protest is the Martin Luther king way, we must fight in the Malcolm X way. The world politicians have already proven their little effort to save the world. time to stand up and fight not just with protest but with action the government that doesn't care or listen to their people isn't a government, it's a monarchy. this is why, why I ask for the people of this world that really care abaut the planet to stand up, stand up and fight for our own survival. because if this generation doesn't others will and in a worse way.

Everyone is afraid of nuclear war and what's to come after because that is certain death But global warming is slow and more painful death
