This video is part of a series about climate change supported by Breakthrough Energy – a coalition founded by Bill Gates, that is working to expand clean-energy investment and support the innovations that will lead the world to net-zero carbon emissions.

Climate Change is just too much. There is never any good news. Only graphs that get more and more red and angry. Almost every year breaks some horrible record, from the harshest heat waves to the most rapid Glacier melt. It’s endless and relentless.

We have known for decades that rapid Climate Change is being caused by the release of Greenhouse Gases. But instead of reducing them, in 2019 the world was emitting 50% more CO2 than in the year 2000. And emissions are still rising. Why is that? Why is it so hard to just stop emitting these gases?

    I have a question. If we do mange to upgrade our energy systems, what do we do with the stuff we replace. Dont the just become trash and wont we have a bigger problem with the garbage entering our oceans?

    It's impossible for greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. 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. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases.

    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.

    CLIMATE CULT Timeline to Apocalypse
    1970s – Global cooling will kill us all.
    1980s – Correction, Global warming will kill us all.
    1990s – Global warming will definitely kill us all.
    2000s – Global warming stopped. UN memo (original). Let’s call it Climate Change because the temperature keeps fluctuating up and down leading to a 14 year temperature pause while CO2 continued to rise unabated.
    2010s – Everyone realises climate change is normal. UN memo (1). Let’s base our temperature data on the Urban Heat Island Effect and ignore rural temperature stations and falsify ocean acidity data and call it a Climate Emergency.
    2010s – There was no climate Emergency. UN memo (2). Let’s corrupt the science with unlimited funding to government controlled institutions who are willing to falsify all climate data, then call it a Climate Crisis.
    2020s – The Climate Crisis failed to eventuate. UN memo (3). Let’s find a useful idiot and name her Greta. She will be our climate cult Goddess. Australian climate cult members were busy exploiting the dry summer starting many fires leading to many arrests for arson.
    2021 – Greta failed to change the climate and just yelled at everyone.
    2023 – UN memo (4). We will wait for El Nino to arrive and we shall call it Global Boiling. To ensure success the cult got busy with arson attacks throughout Europe starting in Greece when 79 arsonists were arrested. Arson arrests are made in Canada after a big season of wildfires.
    2024 – Everyone realises El Niño is a natural event that has always occurred for as long as the Pacific Ocean has been in existence.
    2025 – UN memo (5). We shall declare CO2 a toxic hazard that will kill us all.
    2025 – UN memo (5) is immediately cancelled when a 9 year old pointed out that CO2 is the trace gas of life without which we and all carbon based life forms do not exist. All that carbon came from CO2. It is called a trace gas because there are traces of it measured at an incredibly low 420ppmv or 0.042%. Barely enough to raise the temperature in a room full of climate cult members releasing methane in a desperate attempt to raise the temperature.
    2030 – The climate cult is exhausted from its endless lies but manages to double down with fresh funding from corrupt governments and corporations making lots of money from intermittent renewable energy that never works when the wind stops and the sun sets.
    2031 – The climate cools while CO2 continues to rise and everyone realises the sun controls temperature which in turn controls CO2 and that CO2 is a very minor green house gas that has little to no effect on the planets temperature. UN admits defeat and commences the biggest compensation payout in human history.
    Now we can add permafrost Methane release as the latest fake disaster according to COP 28.
    Every single climate cult doomsday prediction date has come and gone with nothing to show.
    How many more decades do we tolerate the climate cult clowns that destroy everything they touch.
    Fortunately the greatest grift of all time will collapse under the weight of its many lies.

    기후 온난화는 시간이 문제지 온도가 문제가 아니다 과거에는 이것보다 더 춥고 더 더웠다 그러나 시간이 길면 적응하는 시간이 있어 견딜수 있다 그러나 갑작스런 온도 변화는 적응을 하지 못해 동식물이 서서히 사라진다 지구 온난화를 이산화탄소 문제가 팩트로 보는 것도 문제다 온난화는 복합적인 문제다 그리고 산업 폐기물을 이용하여 저렴한 비용으로 탄소를 포집 저장할수 있다 문제는 의지가 없다는 것이다

    "A street food vendor in Brazil might burn coal to cook". Ok, at least the word "might" was used so it seems like a guess. So, trivia: We do barbecue, in general, everywhere, with coal. So either inside or outside (like when we buy), when we eat barbecue meat (which brazilians do a lot), coal was used. I myself have a vegan-like diet since 2018, so mostly stopped eating meat.

    Short answer is that it’s not. Doomers and pessimists just cause people to give up and not work hard to stop it. These people are even worse than deniers because way more people believe them
