Climate sensitivity is a number that roughly speaking tells us how fast climate change will get worse. A few years ago, after various software improvements, a bunch of climate models began having a much higher climate sensitivity than previously. Climate scientists have come up with reasons for why to ignore this. I think it's a bad idea to ignore this.

Researching the issue is difficult because google does not have relevant results for "Hot Models".

Been looking at hot models all day 😏
stop using Google.
Hehe...

Climate change scares me not because I completely understand it, but because I understand PEOPLE.
It's inconvenient, and it's not economically friendly. These two factors practically guarantee that individuals and corporations will not properly address this new challenge.
Ironically, it may take complete societal collapse to save humanity.
Perhaps the insurance industry's 5:47 response to the increased risk caused by climate change will wake people up. Inability to get, or to afford, home insurance will cause real pain.
The worst thing for the future is that we successfully implement a solution. If we dodge harmful climate change, then 'proving the negative' to deniers becomes the key to having the trust necessary to effect the change needed to prevent the next calamity. And since you understand people, you understand this would be impossible.
Plus, it is hard to say which influence man-made geoengineering has on the climate if all measures that are being taken in that direction are kept top secret. This also makes the whole science around it somewhat malleable. We need complete disclosure on worldwide geoengineering activities.
What might safe humans ins the spread of continents, especially the Antarctica. We still live in a glacial period therefore and this will continue for centuries at least. Enough time for humans to adapt and live on in higher latitudes (likely in smaller numbers)
Yes.
Nature will regulate itself by erradicating the species, that created the problem at first.
Unfortunately, this "regulation" will end many species' life aswell as collateral damage created by humanity.
I'm 50 years old now and I'm from Serbia, when I was a kid of about 10 years old outside temperature on New Year's Eve was about -15C and now for the last three years in the same time of the year is +15C and in summer time it was maximum 30C and now is 43C ... I'm nobody but I can tell this won't and well...
Bulgarian here, so obviously seeing similar changes. So much so that Sofia hasn't seen snow last few years. I remember as a kid there was at least one month in the winter where it would snow and the snow would stay.
Same in south Ukraine
Also from Serbia.. but I'm 20...
This scares me
The sky is falling in. Scientists loves the climate cult.
Sea ice doing very well.
Junk science..
It won't end well.
I think the psychology of the lack of interest is that people will not preoccupy themselves with issues they feel powerless, as individuals, to change.
That’s true, but our individual psyches are created in part by our culture and history. Our current world is not setup for cooperation and we’ve allowed selfishness to thrive. The prosocial beliefs and behaviors necessary to change things are possible for humans to adopt, but it starts at the root. Maybe there’s something to the idea of a Capitalocene rather than an Anthropocene. I don’t think this is an innate problem of the human psyche, but of the psyche of the very Europeans whose worldviews spread around the world starting around the 16th century.
In principle it is a good thing we have this reflex. Because starting to panic or being depressed does not help.
We evolved to concentrate on the present, getting enough food for the next winter, having enough wood to heat, finding a partner and so on.
The most depressive thing to me is, that there are many things we can do quickly. We can build green energy fast, there is no physical limit in that. The technology is ready to cut down emissions by maybe 80% today.
We could build millions of wind turbines, solar cells, battery storage etc. in the next 5 years and shut of most of fossil fuel. Only after that we would neet technology that is not yet developed.
But why are we not doing it? Because of economical reasons. Nobody is willing to out down the mony to do this in the paste required. Many people would need to change their job from fossil to green energy really fast.
Fossil assets like fossil plants would lose most of their value.
We just do little to late right now and future generations are going to hate us for that.
The obscene wealth of algorithm-customized distractions does not help either. 🎪
That's because way back when we invented human society, we slowly stopped seeing ourselves as connected and started seeing individuals as powerful and independent. A proper perspective would be considerably more altruistic and ironically we would've been better equipped to handle current changes if we'd all had pre-social mindsets that view the family (in this case meaning the extended families of humanity and life on earth) as more important than its individual children.
Because it doesn't really matter how powerless an individual is, you see; in groups, we have power, so if every individual serves the group, the group becomes nigh-invincible. That's how both disease and multicellular life, teams and hive minds alike find success. Humans technically serve their group, but we spend way more time on ourselves and don't bother acting in ways that would benefit everybody if everybody acted that way. There's no money in it.
@@langohr9613ify I actually believe that capitalism is able to adapt relatively quickly. Like Sabine said just make carbon emission more expensive and energy providers will flock to renewable and nuclear energy to make money. There just need to be political will, which comes from the people, to make this choice which will affect them via the form of higher prices on almost everything.
The thing that I like most about this brilliant, humorous lady is that when she doesn't know something, she says so. That is a real scientist. Respect and thanks!
That is what scientists do. That is what they have to be pretty good at in order to Identity new research topics. If you have the feeling this isnt been done often enough i would probably change or at least check my source because typically this is a week spot of journalist, not the scientist.
Science lives off "don't know"'s. The whole point of a scientist it to ecxel in turning don't knows into knows. (The exact reverse of religion BTW, that exploit don't knows).
Journalist's tend to excel in misinterpreting science, trying to dumb it down for their readers, and screwing everything up in the process. Climate change is a great example of this, the term "global warming" is so soft and fluffy that it just hasn't got the real message over to the public. Messaging IS important, as any politician will agree.
Weird. What I noticed was hackneyed superficial banter.
Hi Sabine, I was really surprised by the dramatic forecast you gave at the end. I have seen in my life several major themes that would or should have ended or disrupted civilization. Overpopulation, global warming, thermonuclear war, ozone depletion and rising sea levels are but a few. Your forecast sounded so much like that type of talk. It has made me lose some confidence in you as a scientific commentator. I have a mathematics and physics background and have always enjoyed listening to your commentary on the physics fields. I have always felt you are an expert on physics matters. When you see that you get the most dislikes on your videos regarding climate change, I suspect the answer could be that you do not come across as such an expert on this topic. I disliked this video and did so because I felt it was the case. It is a sad outcome and something you should look into. It is likely I am not the only one who has formed this view. Anyhoo, I wish you a great day and will remain subscribed. Kindest regards, Tony
Sure?
“Unvaccinated are a danger to themselves and others. Of course, they should not have the same rights and freedoms as vaccinated people. Anyone who intentionally puts others in danger has to live with the consequences.”

It has been my observation that there are a lot of people that vote to save the planet but almost none that will do anything if it involves actual change in their lifestyle. Thus, if the models are actually correct, then the situation can only be resolved with calamity.
Unfortunately I'm afraid that might be corredt
No one is willing to accept real sacrifices to benefit strangers.
This is true, but never forget that, for true change, an honest effort by government and industry is essential.
They create markets and mass consent on a regular basis. They must do that in regard to the climate crisis...or we are in for a lot of trouble...
2023 had most Carbon reductions . carbon dioxide blocks heat both ways. The molecule is to dense to hold much energy
Our modern society,as an overreaction to the socially conscious movements, is so individualized only personal trouble seems to motivate (and then, only individual action for the most part)
On a positive note, growing oranges and palm trees in Minnesota when Florida is underwater will increase tourism. Also "Nuclear" is spelled with an L.
"The problem is that we can't agree to implement the solutions we have." Loud standing ovation here.
Yep. And it's so. Fucking. Aggravating.
@@keiganblaise9878 what is aggravating? You have no idea how complex these things are! No idea whatsoever! What's actually aggravating is the shallow interpretations of people who think they understand such complex scientific domains and the extend of consequences of the offered solutions.
Video Tittle: Let them slave us with carbon taxes ASAP!!!!
@@C_R_O_M________what exactly is you alternative? Keep debating until there is 100% proof and evidence for exactly how some process is happening? Which by the way has pretty much never been reached in science, and is not the purpose of science.
So, what's you suggestion, just go on as usual not changing anything based on the understanding we now have, because it is too "complex"?
This woman is part of the problem. A smart person whoknows numbers is given a large set of fake numbers and is also given a reason for the fake numbers. Not knowing the area at all she is duped into thinking there is a problem.
Even many smart people dont know how to think for themselves.
I’m currently studying sustainable design Engineering. Everyone told me it’s not worth it, but listening to this video now I feel like I made the right decision.
it definItly is, keep it up!
You are doing a service, while things like going vegetarian/saving energy are good, this is a step toward large-scale change.
Within a capitalist society sustainability does not work eventually. Most people speaking of it just use it for marketing purposes. The idea is nice, but idealists are the people who end up getting abused by our society.
"Sustainable design engineering" done by humans will never be sustainable. You are marginally decreasing destruction, because your bosses will NOT PAY for actual sustainable development.
@@scepticalchymist ye you right so lets just keep rollin the way we used to till the great downfall of humanity
Thats not the "hot models" i was hyped for 😢
I needed a good laugh after watching this video. Thanks.
@@user-ki4ek9wn1l Yes b/c you clearly, a stranger online, know far better than a scientist how the world and systems work. And you know better than me, even though I studed economics at the doctoral level. But what do I know?
@@user-ki4ek9wn1l She obviously knows more about the topic than you. Here in Germany we are more aware about the problem. Island states or low lands like the Netherlands also... Just the ducking super powers think they can decide how ever they want... thanks for messing it up for everyone else.
@@opheliawild You're right, but your arguments are invalid. Being a scientist doesn't make her an expert in all scientific fields, and it turns out she did trigger a response from an actual climate scientist.
As for the economic doctorate level... well... only people who have studied economics think economy is a serious field of study :D !
if ppl dont know about the climate scam by now, they deserve to be robbed in taxes @@user-ki4ek9wn1l
For years, climatologists told us there was a tipping point. Now we’ve reached it and many people want to think we can still avoid the worst consequences. It doesn’t sound very nice to say it is too late
For me, I'm tired of this topic not because I don't believe in it, but because knowing more about it actively makes my life more depressing and worse, while I can't really change my life in a way that solves this problem.
The climate has to change. It’s not a static thing. It can’t be static.
@@stormchaser9753 Look up dunning-kruger effect. Please try not to ignore facts.
@@stormchaser9753 What climate scientist have you seen saying that climate is static?
I’m tired of it specifically because I trust it, but because no matter how much more I learn about it, how much irrefutable evidence I see, I still know there are so plenty of potato brains in the world who prefer to live in denial, let propagandists tell them everything’s fine, and hinder efforts to do something about it.
I empathize with you, but I disagree that there's nothing you can do. You're right that you can't change your lifestyle to solve it because you're just one person. But what one person can do is stay engaged politically. Like it or not, politics is intrinsic to how we live our lives. It's literally us having a say in how things should be done.
Write to your reps, attend meetings, donate, sign petitions (or even make new ones), etc. There are plenty of ways to stay engaged and you're probably going to find one or two that work for you if you give it a try. (Forgive me if you already are - on the internet, context is hard)
Your unscripted part really hit home. So much depends on this number, its absurd that we're not spending hundreds of millions of pounds, euros and dollars to answer it.
We are spending billions. It’s not that easy.
It doesn't depends on a number. This number will only states if things are really bad or really really bad... and if the sensibility isn't as high, it would cost us less to implements changes now than waiting a few years because the problem is just really bad, not really really bad. The situation is dire and we're still talking about how dire it is.
But it's clear that's it not simple. Degrowth needs to happen, either now, controlled and somewhat bearable, or later, forced on us. But if some countries goes with that, they we loss the global economic war. It's like a prisoner's delimma with countries : One (major) betray and continue it's growth, and geopolitical status quo will be shifted hard. War would ensue, and war doesn't care about the climate.
As long as money dictate how things should work, our chances are not in our favor. Personally I don't see a happy ending to this issue. Previous Ice age was 4-5 °C below pre industrial revolution mean, we're at +1 and very very likely to hit +3.
. Was the Garden of Eden supercharged with atmospheric CO2?
Fact... All human activity = only 4% of Global CO2 production today.
Volcanoes alone, are dumping more CO2 into the atmosphere in a matter of weeks than humans do in a year.
Fact... Colorless, odorless atmospheric CO2 is the exact opposite of air pollution, and actually stimulates healthy plant and animal growth..
Fact... During the Age of Dinosaurs, atmospheric CO2 was well over 5,000 ppm.
Fact... The 500,000,000 year average for atmospheric CO2 is well over 1,000 ppm.
Since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago, atmospheric CO2 has doubled to 420 ppm.
. Can you see how far from "normal" CO2 levels we still are today?
. Stop feeling guilty about human activity creating CO2.
As long as the trends are towards a warmer climate, we all have to stop being afraid of our naturally changing climate over time, and enjoy the ride (my opinion).
Who disagrees with any of these facts?... Anyone?
dire? dire for whom? we'll grow oranges in alaska@@unii2657
We the unwashed working class do care about climate change, but we know the private jet setters have their fingers pointing at us. We are the culprits and they are going to make us pay. Carbon taxes on fuel, smart cars that can be limited to driving to work and back while they hop in their private jets for a jaunt to Paris.
I'm old enough to remember all the doomsday predictions, the end of civilization by 2000 etc.
Only a fool would believe them again.
My anxiety is actually reduced by seeing people taking this seriously. Even though I've completely abandoned all hope, it's nice to not feel gaslighted about the problem :)

@@jaredkaye3669Thanks!
it's depressing that the top comment here references 'the two extremes' as if people who want action on the climate are just as bad as those who deny climate change, especially after these people have apparently just watched this video...
her audience is terribly right-leaning.
It's because lying over and letting it happen is easier than doing something. This "doomerism" is just as bad as outright denial if not worse.
yeah well the side that wants action on climate change also wants to give children puberty blockers and castrate them on a whim, favors idiotic policies based on superficial physical characteristics, wants to abort 9 month old fetuses, favors idiotic and baseless green energy policies while doing nothing to curb corporate greed and endless consumerism etc.
so in this debate, your side is a guy that gives a lot of money to charities, but is also a pedophile.
I'm from central South Africa and over the course of the last 10 years we haven't been able to trust expected weather patterns. We're used to wet summers in the 30-35 (Celsius) range and it's been going into drought temperatures (40-45) with little to no rain for a long period and a sudden flood-causing burst every season. Our national average temp has also increased twice as fast as the global temperatures since the early 90's so the impact of this is a very tangible non-debatable issue here, especially in the agricultural sector.
Yes, it would hit your region faster and harder than certain other parts of the world. I live in Cleveland Ohio (USA) and our change is milder. This does allow for more people in my region to remain ignorant and blind to the science.
@@JosephKleppel Some parts of the US are very affected. Just think of the year-long drought and all the wildfires in California.
Maybe this is caused by the increased solar activity of the sun. We are near the end of an 11-year solar cycle. But nobody wants to say this as there's no money in it.
I'm from the Northern part of South Africa (pretoria)
I can honestly say that our weather patterns have not changed noticeably in the past 30 years (which is how far back I can remember)
45 year old from Johannesburg, can definitely say I’ve experienced a change in weather patterns over the years (anecdotal yes, but I count for at least one observer)
I live in the Phoenix area, dotted with the Sonoran Saguaro cactus - which have a lifespan of up to 200 years. We had record breaking heat last summer, with over 30 consecutive days with highs of 110+, and the nighttime air was too hot for them, they lost a ton of moisture during their air exchange period when they open their pores after sundown. I went on a hike last sunday and the McDowell Sonoran preserve was littered with the bones of fallen giants, Saguaros decades+ old that has died over the summer. I've never seen anything like it.
That's heartbreaking.
Why do all the elites buy sea front property if the ice caps are melting 😂😂 think about it
@mostlycloudy1738 they arnt thinking about 20 years from now. They are thinking "I want to live on the beach"
@@mostlycloudy1738 "Why do all the elites buy sea front property if the ice caps are melting 😂😂 think about it" There's nothing the think about--sea level rise is a terrible thing we have done to future generations--our emissions in the past and now have ripple effects for up to 150 years, but the serious effects won't happen for awhile for most places. Right now, sea level rise is only ~4.6 mm/yr, so there's no reason for elites to not buy beachfront property that sits 10 feet above the waves.

I'm 60 and have seen changes, one is the lack of flying insects, over 40 years ago, I'd return from a summer ride on my motorbike and would barely be able to see through the insect smeared visor, these days four or five insects over the whole visor.

Which explains the dramatic collapse in amphibian populations, in particular frogs and toads. I’m in my 60s too and have observed that the world of my youth and the world we live in now aren’t the same — and I don’t like it. I blame humans. We’re the cause of climate change and I have little faith in our willingness to address the crises that lies ahead. God help us…
I've been a truck driver for about 35 years and I've noticed the same. Vehicles used to be caked in bugs. There's a highway that goes through Toronto and 30 years ago I'd have to constantly clean my windscreen. Now, no matter where I drive there are hardly any insects. I emailed a Monarch researcher in Michigan mentioning that on my drives, on average, I would count between 70 to 90 Monarchs hitting my truck every day not counting the possible near hits or the ones I didn't see. During peak migration I've counted 120 to 140. She wasn't impressed which blew my mind. I don't hear bird song anymore, and this is the first year I haven't had any mice getting into my house. Things are bad
I'm also 60 and noticed this too. It's one of the scariest examples of baseline shift. Young people see this as normal and don't know how different and rich our world used to be.
One consequence that wasn't even touched upon was the geologic changes and disasters that will happen far inland from the leading edges of the rising water as the landscape of our planet changes. The changing sea levels along with shifting weather patterns will change where Earthquakes and landslides occur, in areas not engineered to withstand them. We will see tornadoes, hurricanes blizzards and extreme heat waves in areas unprepared to deal with them. It is a terrifying future to contemplate in my opinion.

Sabine, I've always enjoyed your no bullshit presentations and I respect this one. I live in a rural area in a temperate zone on a piece of property that has been in my family for almost 70 years. I have seen the landscape change from as long as a person can remember. I have seen the first frost which used to occur in September move to late November and the ice on the nearby pond go from thin, but lasting for the month of January to becoming a rare and short lived event. I have seen the vegetation and the animal life change, mostly the insect life. I have seen the yellow pines wiped out by infestations of pine beetles and have observed that the white pines that used to thrive in this area are now barely hanging on and mostly dying. Fir and spruce used to grow here but they are all gone and the ones that I have planted in the last few years never last long. I will be trying to plant long leaf pines soon just to see what they do, the northern edge of their range used to be a couple hundred miles to the south but I suspect they will do better now if they aren't wiped out by some new infestation of insects. Every spring brings a new species of insect. We've gone from having one species of tick that was just a nuisance in the summer to having seven species of ticks, some of which are active all year round. I could go on by I'll spare you and your viewers. Just saying, if I had never seen a news article on climate change, I would be wondering what the hell has been going on and would be asking the scientists about it. I'm not optimistic, but I am observant. Thanks for scaring the hell out of me. I'm 66 years old and my health is not great so I might not see the worst of the coming effects but my children and grand children will. Thanks for scaring the hell out of me.
We are in a pretty similar situation. My wife and I moved to southern NH 40+ years ago and have witnessed the changes that have occurred over that timeframe. Living in a rural area makes you acutely aware of how finely adjusted flora and fauna is to the micro- climate of the area.
I have a farm in New Zealand, ive been scared for a couple of years now. Winter, if we have one is 2 months later than it used to be and the sun is hotter than ever. I suspect we will have trouble growing traditional crops within a short time and that we will be too slow to change. The world wont miss us but i worry for my daughters lives.

@@nobodyimportant7804 the only video I could find from a professed climate scientist responding directly to this video was by "ClimateAdam."

I am coming to love her more and more.
I am writing this the beginning of November of 2024. We here in the Phoenix Metro Area had the most extraordinarily hot summer where all previous records were broken across the board - 113 days in a row over 100 degrees Fahrenheit with many days well over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. In Phoenix itself in July, we had many days where the low temperature never got below 93 degrees Fahrenheit. These numbers were originally predicted for later in the 21st Century. Very alarming.
I've noticed that whenever something troubling emerges, it always seems to the tip of a way bigger iceberg than we realized.
I agree, I think; (you've omitted a word or two, between "always" and "bigger".)
Thank you!
Because people keep burying their heads in the sand until it cannot be ignored.
The entire religion of global warming or climate change is based upon one fundamental misapprehension which, if you remove it, causes the entire theory or religion to collapse, and the fundamental misapprehension is that there either is or can be, any such thing as a Global temperature.
It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth.
A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate.
Planet Earth doesn’t have ‘a temperature’, one figure that says it all. There are oceans, landmasses, ice, the atmosphere, day and night, and seasons. Also, the temperature of Earth never gets to equilibrium: just as it’s starting to warm up on the sunny-side, the sun gets ‘turned off’; and just as it’s starting to cool down on the night-side, the sun gets ‘turned on’. The ‘temperature of Earth’ is therefore as much of a contrived statistic as the GDP of a country. (If the Earth was in equilibrium, that is, if it absorbed and re-emitted the Sun’s radiation perfectly, as a ‘blackbody’, then its rotation would be irrelevant, and the temperature would be a constant 6 ⁰C. Mocking up the effects of Earth’s albedo brings the ‘blackbody’ temperature down to -18 ⁰C, and including greenhouse warming brings it back up to around 15 ⁰C.)
‘The climate’ is difficult to define: is it a trend over one decade, century, or millennium? For what sized region is it defined ? Weather is very variable – how can we go from weather to climate? Furthermore, climate change on human timescales is a very small effect, and the empirical data needed for climate models have large ‘error’ bars.
If you cannot define what is changing, you cannot say it is changing; It is essential to understand that no man apprehend or experience the entire plant –the whole-thing all-at-once. You cannot even sense apprehend experience yourself - he-whole-thing, all-at-once, so how could you possibly experience something as gigantic as the planet on which you live, other than piecemeal and seriatim - little bit after little bit.
If you remove the fallacy that there either is or can be, any such thing as a “Global Temperature” , the entire edifice of climate change and/or global warming, collapses, because it is contingent on the idea that there can be , or is, a “ Global Temperature, which is a thermodynamic and mathematical
impossibility. While it is possible to treat temperature statistically locally, it is meaningless to talk about a global temperature for Earth. The Globe consists of a huge number of components which one cannot just add up and average. That would correspond to calculating the average phone number in the phone book. That is meaningless. Or talking about economics, it does make sense to compare the currency exchange rate of two countries, whereas there is no point in talking about an average 'global exchange rate'.
If temperature decreases at one point and it increases at another, the average will remain the same as before, but it will give rise to an entirely different thermodynamics and thus a different climate. If, for example, it is 10 degrees at one point and 40 degrees at another, the average is 25 degrees. But if instead there is 25 degrees both places, the average is still 25 degrees. These two cases would give rise to two entirely different types of climate, because in the former case one would have pressure differences and strong winds, while in the latter there would be no wind.
Or maybe you're hysterical. It's perfectly possible.
in the beginning it's only a tip of an iceberg, but we wait and let it grow. The problem is, that it is very hard to understand exponential growth and what it means in the later game. that won't change until we evolve.
"Those poor people who dont conveniently die right away." Sabine you are a rockstar

What people miss about the climate migration crisis is that nation states do not simply lay down and die. Northern nations are regressing politically, turning more to ethnonationalism, halting immigration, and turning their borders into armed fortresses. The plan the first world is converging to is to raise the drawbridge and shoot anyone who shows up at the gates. While this technique can keep out a loose flood of disorganized migrants, it fails when actual nation states are involved. Border patrols aren't going to stop armies.
And the real scary thing about this is we're talking massive heavily armed nation states with nothing to lose. What will the leaders of India do if they're told that in ten years, 95% of their population will be dead due to lethal heatwaves? If history teaches us anything, it's that those leaders will start demanding a place for their people to migrate to. They won't just want us to let immigrants in, they will want us to hand over some of the increasingly habitable high latitude territories as land for entire nations to relocate to.
And these governments really will have nothing to lose. We have been spoiled in the post-1945 world in that nuclear weapons, for all their terror, have meant that the big nation states don't fight total wars against each other anymore. There's literally no reason to; anything you would hope to gain from attacking another nuclear power would be more than cancelled out by the apocalyptic destruction a nuclear conflict would unleash.
But if your nation is already facing annihilation, if doing nothing will result in the certain doom of your people, what do you have to lose? If the Indian subcontinent becomes completely uninhabitable, the people living there, in the most populace nation on Earth, literally have nothing to lose by throwing their entire society into a total war effort to capture more habitable lands. Even if that conflict results in a nuclear war, it's still a rational strategy for them to pursue. If you're facing a changing climate that will kill 95% of your people, a nuclear war, even one that kills 75% of your people, is a good move. Vast regions of the globe being rendered uninhabitable is one of the few scenarios where a nuclear exchange may actually be a sane choice to a sufficiently desperate country.
And the reason I mention nukes is to break through Western chauvinism and beliefs about the absolute military superiority of Western countries. Even if you believe that the northern countries, by din of their vastly superior military acumen, will somehow resist an entire Indian subcontinent thrown into a total war economy, nukes put the lie to that idea. We're engineering a situation where even nuclear war is a rational option for nations of sufficient desperation. And most people are in complete denial about it, thinking that the worst that will happen through climate change is a few coastal vacation homes get flooded.
I wish it was funny.

I'm Australian, spent the first half of my life growing fruit, 4th generation to do so. We started seeing measurable change in 1980s. Increased hail, higher temps burning fruit and higher minimum temperatures affecting fruit budding. The harvesting season has moved to earlier in year by about 3 weeks. Bush fire season can be up to 8 months or more now. Australia has always had extremes but now the extremes are extreme. As modelling and now reality shows we are one of the most affected countries with climate change. Already more sensitive crops are having to either move south or higher in altitude. This of course has limitations, especially altitude. Already a very dry continent with over use of irrigation growing the wrong crops the future doesn't fill me with delight. And that's not mentioning the affects on our ocean fisheries or our wonderful unique wildlife.
Also Australian, and have noticed the same. It is heart-breaking, and still we continue down the same stupid path.
Tomatoes here in Nz have become notoriously hard to grow because our UV levels atm are through the roof
😂😂 you don't "notice" climate change, it happens over time scales more vast than a humans life time or 2. What you are seeing is called the weather. Yes it can and does fluctuate. Its not global warming.
Weren't water rights in Australia also tradable like stocks?
The forecast depletion of 50% of the Globe's aquifers, by 2050, will force starvation and mass population migrations, decades before average temperatures are forecast to make the cultivation of the existing crops impossible, if there were only the goundwater. Places like Saudi have already banned the use of groundwater for agriculture, as for now they can sell oil to import food, and burn oil to desalinate water. Though Australia, China, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran, Turkey, Mexico, Spain, USA, ..., aren't is the same position, and have 4bn bodies dependent on pumping ground water.

@@meneedmorebrain Not sure that's the scientific consensus.. the fact is slower change allows more time for adaptation which means less disriuption to people's lives. More time also means better technology and science to know how to use ressources more effectively... imagine we had 50 years to fix this, could fusion would be a much more viable solution to depend on (still unwise, bet a lot less unwise than it'd be to depend on it as the situation is). The climate is never static, so surely the rate of change is on a scale of severity.. saying it's already over gives everyone permission to do nothing.
I came to the conclusion a while ago that global warming is not a science problem, but a political one. By that, I mean that scientists figured out how to stop climate change quite some time ago. The problem isn't that we don't know what to do. The problem is that society as a whole has been unwilling to do it.
Most of us pre-gen Z all grew up thinking the world would only get better as time went on, we were wrong and that is a very uncomfortable truth.
maybe not the whole society is unwilling - but that part of it who made the most profit out of the economic system as it is. And those are the ones who have the money and the influence to make the majority think that we shound not change it

Climate change is going to take care of the human virus.
This is a broader problem that affects more topics than just climate change: we know the solutions, but how can we implement a policy that will please everyone? Are all supporters of a carbon tax also willing to support nuclear power, and vice versa?
I’m of the opinion that if you haven’t experienced profound grief over climate change, you don’t get it.

@@DissenterNet I’m in college and greatly disappointed by the lack of snow days as I age. Because there’s no snow, most of our snow days are from icy road conditions that melt by the end of the day.
The thing that worries me is that every IPCC report includes a phrase to the effect of "things are accelerating faster than previously supposed". If we keep adjusting the model to accommodate "faster than supposed" growth, and the next year comes out even more faster than supposed, I dunno, seems like a problem.
This is only true if you look at recent years. There was an entire decade(2005-2015) where the global average temperature didn’t move much at all and the predictions were much worse than reality. They’re quick to say that THAT was an outlier decade, but when we have a massive unusual global heatwave of a summer in 2023, which is the definition of an outlier, they will say that’s indicative of an accelerating temperature change. It’s not. There’s not enough data yet so it, by definition, is an outlier & just a weirdly hot year, which more aligns with the solar cycle than anything else.
They fake the data. They are constantly "adjusting" past temperatures based on a number of excuses to make them cooler. They claim stuff like temperature gauges weren't accurate enough etc, and then adjust the data to the numbers that meet their agenda.
Then their models are constantly wrong. And as the saying goes, if the predictions are wrong, it's because the hypothesis was incorrect. That's how real science works.
They also assume that heat exchange with the interior of the Earth can't change on the order of a human life span while there is no measurement to support that since most of the Earth's surface is covered in water and we know more about Mars than we do about the Ocean floor.
The model isn't causing the warming. Even if we adjust model to accommodate faster warming (not really how it works), there's no causal loop that that then makes Earth warm even faster. Just means we keep under estimating it.
@@mirfjc Oh, thank goodness this poster was around to inform us that observational data doesn't cause the observational data that is observed when taking observational data.
50 years ago, hitting 100° was a big deal where I live. It rarely happened. Last summer we hit 100° for 30 days straight. We suffered drought and farmers lost crops. It's been really hot for about a decade now.
It’s crazy
Where I live, in SE PA, USA, it feels like the opposite. This is anecdotal, but I’d say summers tend to be cooler and wetter than they used to. But winters are way warmer. Snow is becoming rare.
@chmd22 NJ here. Snow is far from rare. We haven't been slammed in a few years, mid-90s and late 2000's were the last time I remember blizzards that dropped several feet of snow. In the mid 2010's we had those "polar vortexes" those winters were brutally cold. The last few winters have been relatively mild.
It's a natural occurrence. Ever hear of the dust bowl? Nature does stuff. The sun, the earth, the sky... Everything is in flux. It always has been.
A few years ago in July or so, it snowed in both hemispheres. When it snows in summer in North America--that's climate change.
The recorded temperature history is too short a time to be considered entirely useful in climate determinations such as what is "natural" variability?
CO-2 is plant food, so what do they do? Biofuels--cut down and burn forests. When normally green trees would absorb and thereby sink carbon from the atmosphere, idiots are paid to destroy forests--that makes no sense. Who paid them?
Where I am a few years ago they had the coldest day on record in over a century, but that lasted only a day or so, and then the temperature went back up high again.
Naysayers. They always seem to be wrong.
What is to say that Dr. Helmut Fluhrer's precipitation-influencing ionic atmospheric layer devices have not been deployed and used to promote globalism? In 2010 his company was known as Metro Systems and his company made artificial rainstorms in Abu Dhabi UAE for about 50 of 60 days when normally there is no precipitation at all.
Now his company is named Weathertec. Born in Germany, and living in Switzerland, Fluhrer's critics are naysayers who base their criticisms on absolutely nothing. That's like saying that there is no causal link between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer--also known as tobacco science.
Thick rainstorm clouds in the daytime cast very dark shadows that block the sun's rays from reaching the surface and heating it. What if clouds at nighttime were eliminated to let surface-level heat disperse into outer space. What is the capacity of outer space to dissipate such radiation? Thereby, any daytime accumulated heat can be cast into outer space by clearing the skies at night.
The ionic polarization of the atmosphere can be altered by throwing a polarity switch on such atmospheric layer ionization machines.
Wikipedia used to have a citation of Metro Systems weather modification experiments of 2010. The article had the information excized. Who would have that be done? Hmmm?
reference: business journal artificial rainstorms abu dhabi uae
In this case, climate change can be compelled by the constant operation of such equipment to whatever purpose is desired--heating or cooling. Energy saving or energy-wasting on heating or cooling.
The people with huge amounts of money pay hired goons to enforce their will on the rest of us. Some guy invents a 100 mpg v-8 carburetor in the 1920s. What happens? Lead is added to gas as an anti-knock agent that just happens to clog such carburetor designs--coincidence--I think NOT! Some video on YouTube explains that the addition of lead to gas ended up killing a lot of people with this additive. Lead and other heavy metals are known causes of brain damage.
Experiments were done with WW1 battleship hull painters to get rid of their lead poisoning. Those who had heart conditions said that the treatment made their heart condition disappear. Later that treatment was banned so that heart surgeons would not lose any business. Fake studies were done to pooh-pooh the entire finding. Science is for sale--a corrupt business you could find anywhere in our corrupted world where love of money motivates the masses to do immoral things that damage themselves and their loved ones. Seems that the rich want to get richer and lord over the rest of us. Some schemes should be invented, not Marxism, that counteracts the evils of Marxism such as central banking and control of financial systems by constantly changing monetary policies and encouraging people not to work by giving more people handouts whenever they vote for them.

It's an unusual but pleasant feeling, and I hope it will finally be echoed more widely among the German population. Building nuclear power plants takes a long time, and the German government is not even at the stage of thinking about possibly building a new one... This policy error will be costly for everyone
Nuclear is way more expensive and time consuming to build and operate than renewable energy sources.
For now, renewables are a bigger focus, because it's just faster and cheaper, which is really important if we want to quickly get away from fossil fuels.
@@deusexmachina5769 Then why close down the existing nuclear plants and replace them by coal plants ? The government shouldn’t have closed the existing ones down before enough renewables had been built. That is counterproductive from a climate crisis point of view
@@damienpeladan481 Yes, it is. That's why most parties advocated for doing exactly that. First you build more renewables and then you shut down nuclear.
But the CDU is incredibly corrupt and was obviously bought by the coal lobby, so they decided to instead replace it with coal.
But now the question is what to do now and building new nuclear is just too expensive and time consuming, so they're focusing on renewables instead.
In The U.S., private insurance companies won't insure nuclear plants. Why do you think that is?
@@deusexmachina5769 The problem with renewables is their inconsistency. Oil, natural gas and nuclear plants have to be ready to go instantly when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine, and they're more inefficient at startup, so the result is MORE energy loss than if there was just one conventional energy source.
What worries me most is that the Keeling curve doesn't show any change from its exponential growth the last 10 years. Only in 1991-1992 there was a tiny, tiny dip, arguably due to Mount Pinatubo eruption, or collapse of the Sovjet Union. So, CO2 reductions have not been registered...

I feel for you, Sabine. I realized all this over a dozen years ago, after a brief stint working in the ecological services department that did consulting work for the fossil fuel industry. The changes I was seeing in the field indicated a higher climate sensitivity than that was accepted by scientist. No one would listen, and certainly not the client.

Well governemts alone can't solve the problem, jet alone one. They can only translate a fixed solution in required laws. At that point you still need "a industry" that enables all people to follow up on those laws.
So targetting the oil industry was a good call, even if it didn't had the effect you hoped for.
I work in automotive and it's a tough call to find a compromise between what the customer wants, what the government wants, what we can actually do and what the environment requires.
From what i can tell your client was listening. Fuel, lubricants and plastic are partners with rather bigger departsments in that area.
Sadly not all of them succed. Michelin is closing doors for PKW tires, because the customer preferes the putative cheaper option that is not living up to their standard.
The best thing for us would be if the customer would value the environmental quality in money, so i actually have a budget to do something. Second best bet is the government requires it for every competitor, so it's not a huge risk for us to take.

The Permafrost in the northern hemisphere is melting for the first time in 2 million years. And it's not only melting, it's melting from the bottom up because there's enough biomass in there for the bacteria to produce enough heat to melt adjacent permafrost. That's a lotta methane.
thats not true. we are in an ice age period and in the fourth warm period in that ice age cycle. our temperature will rise for quite some time yet and the shorter intervalls will peak between 2030-2040 than we'll have about 60 years of cooling, less than last time but still cooling.

We have "short sighted leaders" because the general public get whipped up by populists who claim that climate change won't really be that bad and that investing in green energy generation is a waste of money.

We really messed Up an entire Planet. Thats hard to Beat.
Civilization is cracking up at a much faster rate than the climate. That’s a whole lot more concerning to me.
And yet climate change will increase the rate at which civilisation 'cracks up'.
Can you say "perfect storm"?
No you can't say perfect storm. It's more like "6 ways till Sunday." We push every boundary of everything until we get consequences.
We are clever primates...not particularly smart however🤔
No, the climate is pushing civilisation to crack up, it's like Sabine says, some people see the connections and some don't.
