Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.

While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to save itself.

And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only sensible thing to do.

But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

    can someone please just send me to the proof that co2 is behind warming the planet? I'm not talking about pollution. There is no doubt that we are polluting the planet.. What I want is the evidence that fossil fuels are causing the planet temperature to rise dangerously.

    this video really helped me out. creators are already spreading misinformation about what's to come when the climate clock reaches 0, which had me stressed ash. this definitely gave me some closure about it

    Watching this after hearing about Hurricane Milton, it’s really easy to feel like we’re screwed, no matter how much we yell that we need to do something, the oil industry will pay more to ignore us, doesn’t matter how many charities we support, no matter how much we protest, the people in power already have their mind set

    BadEmpanada destroyed this piece of propaganda that downplayes the effects of climate change severely.

    Let's see, if this comment will be auto-deleted for mentioning the YouTuber who roasted you, or not. If this comment is still available, then pls somebody reply, thx.

    The three facts that surprised me in this video;

    1. Decline of Coal: The coal industry is experiencing a significant decline in wealthy nations such as the UK and US. Since 2015, three-quarters of planned coal plants have been canceled, and 44 countries have pledged to cease their construction. This shift marks an unprecedented move away from coal, which seemed improbable a decade ago; now, it is evident that coal is on the path to extinction.

    2. Exporting Emissions: While it's true that rich countries have been accused of exporting their carbon emissions to poorer nations by relocating polluting industries, the overall impact remains positive when considering imported goods. Even after accounting for these emissions, the trend indicates progress in addressing climate change.

    3. Carbon Removal Technology: As of 2022, technology capable of removing one ton of CO2 from the atmosphere exists at an approximate cost of $600. With increased investment and advancements in this technology, costs are expected to decrease significantly over the next few decades, enhancing our ability to combat climate change effectively.

    "As an hadith says, 'If the Hour (the Day of Judgment) is about to be established, and one of you has a palm seedling in his hand, let him plant it.'(Musnad Ahmad, Hadith 12902). This speaks to maintaining hope and continuing to act positively, even in the most difficult situations.

    It's a beautiful reminder that no matter the challenges we face, especially with climate change, there’s always room for positive action and care for the environment. Instead of losing hope, we can keep striving for a better future, knowing that our efforts to nurture and protect the planet have value.
