Grateful for such a clear explanation 💫
My pleasure 😊
Super helpful to understand it in real language and terms! Thank you, I will share with my industry from the ag sector to understand more :)
Thank you for the feedback - Glad it was helpful!
It's impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface. Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet. 0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2. The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.
Very good!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video, very helpful for my research report on cop 29, as I am responsible for organising the model of cop29 in my school this year.
Thank you for your kind feedback - Good luck with the COP29 school project
Great video and I agree with the fact that documented information should be used is evidence of conformity. I'm liking the seven themes as they underpin and boost the current standard. What was a bit of a bolt on was the 2024 amendment but pretty easy to address with Clients. What does need to be clear is the competency required for the new standard. CBs jump on pumping out expensive training, although for the 2015 version I didn't take up any since as soon as the DIS came out, I started migrating Clients towards the probably new standard. I had a competency interview with UKAS for a CB's approval to deliver ISO 14001 as their lead auditor and UKAS accepted my detailed CPD records in which I documented my learning activities to make me able to deliver the "new" standard. What makes me smile is they always have their meeting somewhere nice. It's never at a business park off the M62.
Glad the video hit the right spot - It would be good for more ISO 14001 users to catch-up on the new changes, which this time around are more evolutionary rather than revolutionary. I agree that competency is key. For full transparency, I was an UKAS Assessment Manager for nearly ten years and continue to work with Accreditation Bodies. ISO/IEC 17021-2 on competency for EMS Auditors and other CB personnel was my baby as an ISO Co-Convenor. More to come on the second amendment to ISO 14001:2015…
@@EMSmastery Totally agree, with Annex SL, 2015 was the revolution so the next version can evolve from it. Working for a small CB I must be the UK's most witnessed auditor with 3 in 18 months a few years ago! Keeps me on my toes and actually underpins my confidence.

Very good informations
Thanks - Glad you found the video useful.
This is really interesting, thank you. So if I open a project with a certification body, at the end of which I get a certificate to produce product A, however, I have to pay annual fees on the certificate as well as getting audited by the certification body on a consistent basis, would that be certification still? Since we are proving competence and consistency through audits?
Good morning 😊
If you got money and space, you can choose... Model 2, where is it?
Yes - The Model Y is a large vehicle and not inexpensive. It will be interesting to see if the Model 2 is real and whether it will fill a void in the small car sector of the market.
I'll stick with my diesel for the time being. 510 miles off a full tank.
There are, certainly, advantages to internal combustion engines especially quick refuelling. After several months of pure electric driving, I am very impressed by the Tesla Supercharging network with the Model Y’s battery charged in the time that it takes to walk to a motorway service station, a quick toilet break and a fast food meal or coffee. Often with the car charged before we finish our break.
@@EMSmastery Sometimes is connect the cable, leave in place, and then take it. As you say, it may be quick. With Niro, more 20 min.
Good so you dont need to make stupid comments on sites like this anymore
@@EMSmastery what worries me Andrew is what the performance will be like in 8 years time. I say 8 years as my car is 8 years old and I do like to get my money’s worth. Usually I keep after 100k and even did 130k in a Rav 4 years ago until I fancied a change. Right to me part exchanging them, they did the job and I got some value for them. EV future performance and value concerns me. I think buying a Tesla is the best bet compared to other makes, but the huge cost of battery replacement gives it a limited lifespan.
@@rodden1953 I’ve been a fan of Andrew’s channel for years and I appreciate his views and our discussions via the comments.
There was really only one choice; which you made.
Agreed - The Kia Niro EV is a lovely car and has many positives. Overall, the cleanly designed cabin and tablet controls of the Tesla together with the Supercharger network won us over and made it our final choice.
Thank you thank you so much this helped clear up my confusion about what this job demands, even deciding how to shave😂
Glad I could help!
This was very helpful thank you good sir!
Glad it helped!
one other consideration might be weight. Tesla Model Y weighs over 2 tonnes, much heavier than your meriva. Aside from the additional impact to the road, if you break down or have a puncture, you may find it hard to get a rescue truck to pick you up. I know from a colleague they had just this issue and the tow truck could only lift up to 2.5 tonnes and only just managed to pick him up.
Interesting - Certainly, the Tesla Model Y is a heavy car, which appears to be a characteristic of electric vehicles due to the fuel cells vs a petrol or diesel engine.
Please how do you really think we can solve this plastics problem? It’s all very well for wealthy countries like America to achieve the Earth Day vision. For obvious reasons you did not mention sub Saharan Africa as signed up even though we constitute a huge portion of the Earth, and our large population use a lot of plastics. Most of our imported goods come in plastic wrapping. Plastic has replaced metal tins in a lot of previously tinned foods coming from Earth Day supporters - Europe, America and China. All toiletries and cosmetics come in plastic bottles. 99% of drinking water and sodas come in plastic bottles. Paper and cardboard require the felling of trees to be produced - so that could cause desertification. Firstly the countries signing up to Earth Day must show sincerity and stop exporting their goods to us in plastic packaging. Technologically advanced countries must find practical alternatives especially for solving this problem in countries with poor economies.
Agreed - There is much that countries, such as America, can do to reduce their plastic waste but, also, their influence on wider supply chains. It is lamentable that, in a move to reduce the weight and, hence, carbon emissions in transportation, plastic containers have replaced glass and metal cans. With the latter being have a greater ability for recycling. Your final two points are well taken: To stop exporting their plastic packaged goods & for technologically advanced countries to find practical alternatives especially for solving this problem in other countries.
Thanks, very helpful. Quick question - after new factors are released for each year, does it mean we have to recalculate the first 6 months of each year using new figures? Just a common sense check :) thanks
The UK GHG Conversion factors address this issue and provides some useful advice in the "Introduction" tab, which for the 2022 version states: "You should use the version of the factors that correlates with the data on which you are reporting (for example, factors labelled as 2021 should be used for data from calendar year 2021). If you are reporting on an April to March year, the factors from the calendar year in which the greatest portion of your data falls should be applied (for example, the 2021 factors should be applied to data in reporting year 01/04/21 - 31/03/22, the 2020 factors should have been applied to data in reporting year 01/04/20 - 31/03/21). Users that operate a July to June reporting year should apply the newest set of available factors."
@@EMSmastery Thank you, found this info in the spreadsheet. All clear, except what if my company reporting year is from October To the end of September? The greatest portion of a calendar year is in the past in this case. Do I apply 2023 factors until the end of September and use 2024 from October? Thank you in advance :)
In your example, I would treat the period: October to December 2023 using the UK GHG Conversion Factors for 2023 & use the 2024 factors for he period: January to September 2024.
The eagle you showed was a golden eagle not a bald eagle.
Good point - Thank you for your feedback.
Your statement of "Care should be taken" when using non-UKAS accredited "bodies" is spot on. I've come across some organisations who have gone down this route and the "management system" isn't worth the few bits of paper it's written on. With me it's UKAS accredited or nothing. If they can't afford UKAS certification, they may as well self-verify their compliance or even change the scope to a "Management of" rather than "provision of" to reduce the CB days and obviously cost. As someone who does subcontract ISO 14001 audits for a CB but mainly works as a consultant, Iv'e seen both sides of the table and I do find UKAS brings value and oversight to whatever standard you are being certified to.
Agreed - It is a privilege to have the clarity to have seen both sides of the UKAS-accredited divide from your role and a consultant and sub-contract auditor. The more that can be communicated on the clear benefits from UKAS-accredited certification, the better for businesses and users alike.
@@EMSmastery There is some good guidance on this Government website that they have beefed up a few years ago and also updated this year: www.gov.uk/guidance/conformity-assessment-and-accreditation#:~:text=UKAS%20(United%20Kingdom%20Accreditation%20Service,healthcare%20scientific%20and%20diagnostic%20services.
I do think this is a bit of grandstanding by BSI and also sidestepping the uncertainty around future changes to ISO 50001 and ISO 14001 regarding the fairly recent government consultation for ESOS where they seem really uncertain how ISO 50001 as a compliance method will take into account climate change. Will it be a bolt on or does this amendment, which has a fairly vague meaning, suffice?
Agreed - For your comments on ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 but for ISO 9001 and other Management System Standards, it will require consideration of climate change.
@@EMSmastery I get the feeling “consideration” will be open to negotiation. Will be interesting on how CBs react.
Thank you EMSmastery it is well presented video to explain about the WED.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
An excellent video, Andrew!
Many thanks! If you are promoting World Environment Day for 2024, please feel free to link to this video on the SocEnv website
Thank you for the breakdown what ARE greenhouse gases. Now someone please explain to me the math of it. Let's focus on CO2 first, which there is the most of. My problem is prior to industrial revolution there was more trees. Trees need sun and co2 to produce oxygen. Obviously no one was dying from lack of oxygen prior to mass producing of co2, and somehow planet stayed at about the same temperature? But currently the claim is that current emissions are something like 40 billion tons of CO2 a year. Which would require something like 800 Billion trees to absorb it a year. But according to estimates there is something like 3 TRILLIONS of JUST trees, then there is grass, brushes, oceans, probably other things that absorb all that pollution so what does that mean? Is Oxygen overproduced now? I seem to breath ok? Something is wacky with the math. I'm sorry, I'm being skeptical, but I vividly remember the same anonymous "scientist" were predicting 2nd Ice age coming within my life time just 40 years ago. I just don't get it.
Most PL clubs are large organisations with a significant impact. Yes, they can do as lot to reduce the impact but whilst clubs pander to their player taking fairly short domestic flight and these players parading round in luxury cars, most of the public will be sceptical. Oh I wish I could comment as a fan of a PL club!!!
Agreed - The fan community and the general public have a right to hold Premier League football clubs to a higher standard especially environmental sustainability. Hopefully Blackburn can make it back into the Premier League - It only took Brentford, 77 year, since its last match in the top flight on 26 May 1947.
Idiocy of this post is beyond the repair. Greenhouse gas? Doesn't it actually help to grove the plants? Isn't it necessary for photosynthesis? And what nonsense is that CO2 lunacy. CO2 is one molecule of Carbon and two molecules of Oxygen. Very dangerous if you take to account that all life on Earth is Carbon based and we need Oxygen to breeze. There is 0.04% of CO2 in an atmosphere, 0.02% is minimum to keep Earth alive. There is no such thing like dangerous CO2! Period!
Thank you for your feedback. The video is designed to explain what 1 tonne of Carbon Dioxide would look like to & to visualise it in daily situations. Your comment expands upon the wider issues not covered in my video, namely, the benefits and disbenefits of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere. The minimum amount of CO2 to sustain plant growth is 150 ppm with the current atmosphere levels at 425 (8 February 2024). At the elevated levels of CO2, largely, generated by humans (e.g. use of fossil fuels in power plants, flight and transportation), the Carbon Dioxide (and other Greenhouse Gases) are having more than the beneficial effects on plant growth, they are having negative impacts affecting our weather cycles impacting on food crops, extreme weather events experience across the globe & jeopardising the safety of small island states.
I think PAS 2080-2023 update has answered pressing issues. Thank you so much for the valuable explanation. Phd Reseaher
Glad that the video on PAS 2080:2023 was useful for you.
This is two years after this video and you can now buy the same sort of plugs, mine are by Tapo no doubt other makes available as well for ten pounds and they have been cheaper, so half price from two years ago. Not sure if you mentioned it but you can also (at least with the ones i have) have schedules on these plus a "holiday" feature so you can switch for ex a light off and on randomly between set times. Note, the Tapo ones at least can be bought with and without energy monitoring I have both. So as you say double check when buying which version as they look identical.
Thank you for your feedback - Two years is a long time for the life of the video It is good to see that the same type of smart plugs are available to suit your needs from Tapo and other makes & are cheaper. Enjoy your smartplug use.
Thanks for this. It's made simple
You're welcome! - Thank you for your feedback.
Cop 28 A waste of time Run by fossil fuel sellers A fken joke
There is a lot in your comment - The COP meetings are not addressing the urgency of the climate emergency / crisis. There was concern about COP28 being held by a state that is heavily invested in fossil fuels, COP29 is likely to be similar with Azerbaijan, the host country, appointing Ecology Minister Mukhtar Babayev as the President-Designate to oversee the COP29 climate conference. He was, previously, worked in the Department of Foreign Economic Relations of the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR).

Interesting video - and very high production values. There are many distilleries here in the UK - is there scope for them to learn from this? Also is the heat from the cherry wood burning used in any way?
Thank you for the feedback on the video. As you say, there are transferable environmental lessons for UK distilleries to be learnt from the Jack Daniel's Distillery. I didn't ask a specific questions about whether the heat from the cherry wood burning was used in any way. From the video, there appears to be a mechanism to capture the exhaust of the wood burning and, maybe, its heat is being captured.
What a bunch of B.S.
What's job opportunity s through dear sr
There is likely to be job opportunities in. Avon accounting as more and more countries, such as the USA, UK and EU, introduce legislation to require, mainly, large companies to report on their environmental impact stating with greenhouse gas emissions.
Is the COP 28 a powerful organization?
The COP28, itself, is not so much an organisation but an annual meeting for all the nations under the treaty (which is essentially all countries in the world) and other participants, such as corporations and NGOs.
Very informative Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Let’s gave the truth here , this is part of their agenda to control what we can and not do while their lives don’t change . Come on people
There are enough clear messages to show that we, all, can take control of the climate agenda, who would not want to save the cost of energy, cause less pollution and make our environment better for our children and for future generations.
what a good idea. It seems that these are the same “actors” who proposed a conference on the renewal of democracy. It should be held in North Korea, or in China, we don't know yet. Another is also in the process of standing on the equality of men and the respect of everyone. Jerusalem is being considered for this conference. the world is moving in the right direction and that's very good. all the multinationals who decide what heads of state will do have declared themselves satisfied with this progress for humanity
The COP will, always, be attended by the majority of governments from almost all countries as it is recognised by all as signatories to the treaty. Let’s hope that good decisions are made for all.
why does my boiler says it uses 1400 kwh / annum when its actually in hours???
Good question - You might want to check whether it, truly, states “1400 kWh / annum as it would, normally, be something like 24 kW for a household domestic boiler. This figure would be the consumption per hour.
Why do you guys keep lying to the American public there is nothing wrong with the climate in the United States or anywhere else
My video is intended to inform about the COP28 meeting. There are no lies in the stated information. With every country represented at the COP, all the many document and scientific papers that are published, there is clear evidence of climate change affecting our weather patterns.
It's to take total control over our lives!! King reset who said he needs trillions at his disposal can sell all his property and all his possessions!! Once your freedoms are taken away, you can't get them back!!
With clear evidence of climate change, I am certain that we must all pay our parts to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. It is not a message of the less of freedoms or control over us.
