6:55 wdym "not you2? I am not investing in restoring wetlands if you can't promise me Shrek will live in there 😤

1 wheeled trailer: Use a universal cross,as found in RWD car driveshafts etc) as a tow hitch: Now you got the left n right and up n down, but for the trailer to fall over it needs to twist the bike into falling over... I don't get how this isn't obvious to everyone..!??

I am a firm believer that chicken is a vegetable and thus I am a vegetarian.

Another greedy celebrity why isnt she sued by environmental activist yet

It's quite ironic that those "communism danger" fearmongers don't mind enormous subsidies to fossil fuel...

8:18 - Quite ironically, it turned out that many, if not most, of climate change mitigation measures (such as clean energy sources) are good for business - only not for _entrenched_ businesses.

5:45 - Well, that's perfectly understandable. As they are fossil fuel lobby shills, and nobody is buying their old nonsense any more, the had to come up with a new excuse to "burn, byby, burn".

1:15 - This was a marvelous example of idiocy of best politicians money can buy (or, more accurately, morons who elect them).

the climate change deniers are often not climate change deniers..... everyone pretty much know climate change all the times. the dispute is often about data, and mostly about methode. because some of the loudes voices for emission reduction, push for policies, there often isen't about reduction of emission. and if you threatens people life, ofcourse people get on the defends.

It's like driving over a teenager's face had me laughing so bad hahaha

Coal, black gold.

12:23 I think degrowth is the best word. The economies and expectations for economies are blown up out of proportion. We need to get them off the steroids and shrink them down to a healthy condition. The withdrawal symptoms will be horrendous but we’ll be better off in the long run.

Quick question, could our population & animal populations that we've increased contribute to the climate just by living alone? Like how we exhale co2?

Nuclear is really safe. Unless your country don’t care about saftey

15:54 if you believe anything you just said, you are not even slightly qualified to be talking about this. And I’m not talking about flavor, or anything as subjective as esoteric as personal taste. You fundamentally do not understand food. Of all the reasons we use meat, protein doesn’t even make the top 10. Culinarily speaking the main uses of meat are fat, collagen, and flavor. In order to get the nutritional value of a kg of beef you would need to eat half a kilo of dried lentils, 6.6 kg of olives, and 600g of dried seaweed (I cannot stress enough just how much seaweed it takes to make up 600g). And at the end of that you have one well fed person and not much else. On the other hand that cow provides countless materials that can’t come from anywhere else. Essential chemicals that are need in making everything from dynamite, to lubricated condoms. Nobody gives a soggy taco bell shart about protein.

This is a ruse in attempt to stop white people from getting PhD with goal to eliminate "white supremacy". It's a trick in my opinion and don't fall for it... get your PhD if that's what you want.

I find it frustrating even this video uses the term "climate change" rather than "man accelerated climate change", of course the climate of Earth has always changed over very long time periods, so there has to be a proper distinction.

Is it possible to build enough battery storage to make solar & wind primary grid sources in the next 10 years?

4:45 i live in new zealand al gore is a total liar

This had better be legit.

Treesgrowth is not just due to the temperature but also rainfall and the amount of sunlight. Also the scandle aboutvthe hockey stick was the authirs commited scientific fraud and got ket off. The data for temperature from the tree rings post 1950s didn't"t match recorded temperates. So the drew the graph to show what they expected not what the data showed. And had the cheek tto publish it.

All you have to do is look at California and Canada to see what's comming in energy costs. Net zero is not only too expensive, it will lower the standard of living for everyone except the wealthy.

Yeah, let's use the energy of the thing responsible for our magnetic field.

amazing.

Chemtrails... Heat trapping... Temperature records... Fear... Control... Subservience

Yes it can, it most certainly can.

so what i got from this is good potatoes are a miracle

Have you known about Space Based Solar Power/SBSP done by Communist China, USA, UK etc. ? They want to create new electricity and heat power from space then beam those back to earth in quantity enough to generate electricity. This create much higher temperature around the area beamed and could effect rain cloud to the point of drought and storm unintentionally. More than ten high companies around for test run already. So……………Space Future Frontier of War is highly possible, to me. Global Warming become true story highly as a result of this SBSP.

Experts often aren't.

This is an interesting view that I don’t entirely agree with. These organizations aren’t meant to solve the problem. They are meant to help, which they are. The fact is nobody is working to solve the problem in its entirety, so these organizations said why not help the best we can? It’s like me picking up trash at the park and you making a video about how I didn’t solve the global pollution problem. They aren’t claiming or attempting to be a universal solution. And until there is a better more streamlined entity that can address the problem more effectively, there’s nothing wrong with supporting organizations who are at least trying and at least getting some results.

If you like cycling so much, and care about the environment so much. Dont waste shit on electric bikes, and cycle like a real person

I have quite a few issues to address with this video: 1. You fail to address the fact that some people aren't unwilling to accept climate change, but are sickened by those that preach it. Many that speak of it demand extreme action at severe expense of others, yet all the while do things that are clearly hypocritical of such statements (buying beach houses when they said we'd flood, flying HIGHLY POLLUTANT private jets for mundane tasks). Simply put, they act like con artists, which as can be imagined, puts many people off. 2. You fail to address the fact that quite a few climatologists, aka people who have studied this as you say, have indeed disputed the current model. Do you know what they are met with? They are demonized. I thought the point of science and theorizing is to dispute to find the answer, not for being right? Instead they're just told to shut the hell up and stop debating. 3. You speak of government regulation of such things to prevent climate change. I will not be one to say that regulation has no part in any aspect. If there was no regulation, we would've died already to all the toxins in our food (we're just dying slowly instead). HOWEVER, understand that the regulations they wish to bring about are either foolhardy at best, or cripplingly controlling at worst. They demand the removal of all fuel powered engines by 2030? Bye bye poor people. Let's also not forget the "clean" construction of those electric batteries. If you truly wish the government to regulate this, maybe also have them get of their money grubbing asses and make changes towards other aspects of society so such a radical change wouldn't collapse us entirely within a week. 4. Most damningly, all things considered, if we're all going to die from climate change, why aren't we, including those that are warning of it, putting absolutely everything aside? Why are we still squabbling about abortion, student debt, equity, taxes, or employment, when the very existence of life itself hangs in the balance? It seems the "doomerism" has spread to more than just the deniers. I want the best for this world. If you truly do as well, I'm sure you will at least understand my grievances, even if you do not agree with them. I do hope some of these can at least be addressed.

"Look at this -..-graph", did not see that coming

Nice Video!

India, ya never fail to impress me with your history. I had the honour of spending a whole year in Sri Lanka since my father worked there. I though it was some random island off the coast of India, little did I know, I was in for a history of 2500 years!!! Bollywood needs to produce a full movie about Aryabhata of Kusumapura! If it were not for the Persians and Indians... Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, and the whole modern world would not exist.

What has to happen to make solar power work as a base load? Or wind? so far where I live solar and wind have increased the cost of power when I’m home to use it. In order for them to work we’d basically have to change working hours drastically so we were sleeping during low power times and awake during high power. As someone involved with repair of underground facilities the water savings would be huge. The amount my town spends pumping water into random holes in the ground that we haven’t found yet is just mind blowing.

Appalachian here. Coal is an evil and my home region and family has been harmed so much for the sake of the rest of the US. If coal is to come back, we need to reassert ourselves to get diversification alongside mining. No more company towns.

Awesome video!

Please stop blaming china for coal… They are actually investing way more than any other nation in green energy, and historically the US and Europe exported all their dirty work there. It is disingenuous to point at them for their impact on climate without contextualizing it. Just have a think made a great video recently that touches on China’s steps towards net zero.

"how reliably you can produce energy, No matter Watt." I see what you did there.

The 'if' we can make lithium ion batteries circular is a very big if. In the meantime, the damage done to local environments and local communities and health in places where cobalt, for example, is mined is horrific and, though Simon mentions it, is not factored into over-simplified lifetime carbon emissions models. Yes, we have to protect future people from our impacts; we can't do that at the expense of invisible people alive today.

You mention this “KPH” several times. What thousand (kilo) per hour do you mean? Calories? Ohms? Amperes? Watts? 😉

Fun fact ancient peoples and pioneers in the new world would often dig cellars to keep their food, because so many feet down everything is heavily insulated so heat and cold can be preserved to warm a home or keep your food fresh.

I've always thought that waste heat extraction was the secret most effective use of and producer of energy. Either pumping heat to replace other heating methods for houses, water and industry or using heat pumps and direct conversion to create power from it. My family has run a crematory for years and if it were a more easily accessible option we would definitely make use of it for power and heat. Also as an aside I could see in the future aquamation, the cremation process using alkali chemicals to render something to base biological components as a good source of energy. The metallic drums of such devices and the heat given off by the process are yet another industrial source of heat.

Many who give up meat and thus rely on meat alternatives do so for ethical reasons which is often overlooked, but if anyone has any idea about factory farming and how so called livestock animals are treated it certainly makes it harder to go and buy meat.

Can you climate scientist at least try to give people a clear message one week it's the world is ending, the next week it's hope, hope, hope everything is going to be ok well which is it?? Jehovah's Witnesses may be nutcases but at least they have boldness when proclaiming their message maybe you guys can learn a thing or two from them.
