In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, we look at how climate change is causing a decrease in biodiversity worldwide. Biodiversity is a measure of the variety and variability of life, and climate change is causing the decline of biodiversity in numerous ecosystems via extreme weather, sea-level rise, and habitat destruction. Biodiversity matters because without such a variety of life and species, ecosystems begin to collapse ultimately affecting the livelihoods of communities reliant on healthy, biodiverse ecosystems. Biodiversity loss caused by climate change ultimately means species extinctions and a disconnect between animals and plants.

#Biodiversity #ClimateChange #Extinction
Have you been involved in any restoration or preservation projects? Have you heard of any endangered or extinct species where you live?
I really appreciate you addressing this issue, since it is such a vital one, not for natures sake, but our own.
Our Changing Climate As a birthday gift I got a bunch of rainforest acres! :D
Hi Charlie, I was also wondering (after this pandemic of course) to do meet ups that pertain in projects like these maybe on a monthly basis? I know followership isn't massive on this channel but I'm optimistic that there are others like me who care but want to transfrom that care into physical compassion. I think building a community is really important in making the transition from individual to local change. But since most of us are still in shelter in place, perhaps we can do individual challenges that we can share digitally?
you are really cool for talking about these things on your channel, thank you.
Yes, I'm aware, but in countries like Brazil, where criminal work to destroy nature putting oneself against it is almost asking to be killed. You probably know that Brazil has been one of the countries that kill more environmentalists in the world.
I'm hoping in the very near future you'll speak about more specific problems like the deforestation of Amazon and Cerrado in Brazil. These are concerning topics and your views could actually be helpful if they got engaged to their governmental authorities asking for international help or boycott.
bio diversity should be the primary metric for success rather than financial profit
We need people with such values to lead politicaly all over the world, so let's demand it.
nature is cruel, I want only humans to be alive since they are more ethical (not really my opinion, but this thought kind of haunts me)
@@persiancarpet5234 Well ok, this is the most idiotic comment i have seen so far in 2020
We should but profit from conserving biodiversity it's extremely hard to achieve, if it was like that then my country would be one of the richest countries out there since we still protect a big part of our nature, but instead we are constanly fighting against livestock, crops of pinapple, banana, palm oil, etc, pollution and expansion from all of this while being a country with a no so good economy so everything gets manipulated by rich people and foreing companies over what they want.
@@vvvvveroeverythingtodo Maybe capitalism should not be included in our goal for environmental changes.
I hope more people realise the magnitude of impact created by our actions! We need to stop thinking and living like we're the only species in the world!
I would argue differently: in order to be better off ourselves we need to preserve an appropriate amount of nature
@@persiancarpet5234 Pray that nature doesn't find you inappropriate.
Nothing about the livestock industry? czcams.com/video/25fUy8M9lnk/video.html
@@persiancarpet5234 We don't own nature fool. We are nature. But the collective egoic mind has forgotten that. And now we are lost ravaging and over-harvesting nature pushing her further and further to her brink. This will end in one way on this trajectory. Mass starvation and nuclear war due to famine and resource depletion.
And you propose ?
Tired of all this covid stuff and nice to see some good content
Covid is the result of devastation
I somehow thought it was a covid 19 video and it's effect on biodiversity
It will be with us for a lot longer, I doubt countries that started taking action late (and still haven't really gotten a hold on it- ahem, USA, ahem...) will ever really get a hold on the virus, but yeah, it is nice to see something different, and a reminder that we had preexisting issues (which in some cases feed into others).

@Micheal Ellis You've got a Brain. Use it
Have you guys seen the documentary 2040? One of their solutions really peaked my interest. Seaweed permaculture. Grows 1 metre a day, absorbs more CO2 than trees, doesn't require watering and nutritionally rich. Not to mention farms in the ocean will generate habitat for many fish. If I'm not wrong research on seaweed permaculture is currently being done in a university in Australia.
Stuff like this makes me really hopeful for the future. That is, only if people are willing to eat seaweed, though.
I haven't. 2040. Thank you for the recommendation :)
Thank you for this valuable information . I am searching for methods to reduce heat
@@saniyaahmad3153 lmao
Seaweed is a valuable part of my purely plant based diet. Nori is delicious, and seaweed is a great seasoning alternative to seafood.
Hey Charlie,
I was wondering what did you major in? Is it related to climate change or something totally different?
I'm a musicology major, but videos like yours motivate me to learn more about our changing climate.
Thanks for all the effort you put into making these videos!
Cheers
Even I have this query
Was wondering the same
Imagine going to university for climate change degree lmao
@@Bambim8 ?? There is variations of it already everywhere in the globe, and including the current estimates of green jobs in the future, this is only going to get better.
I mean, i get it that current systematic misinformation campaigns and general stupidity of people, but this is like going on a space channel to write ''imagine if the earth was actually round''. You only manage to sound foolish and cringey af.
@D SC hey totally unrelated question but I am a musician and have been interested in studying musicology for years, but what kind of careers can you get with a musicology major? I love travel and I love music especially from other parts of the world (im in the US) and I'd love to be a "musicologist" but im not very clear on what that actually means
I've been subscribed to your channel since the early days and it's so exciting to see that you're this close to a quarter of a million subs! The quality of your content speaks for itself.
Thank you for sharing this! As scary as all these facts maybe, it is important to keep learning and keep trying to be better
Really sad to see the effects of our actions on other species.
Thank you for including your sources! Extremely useful in writing my own papers and validating statistics
The video is pleasing visually and more importantly, moving and informing in a manner that different types of audiene will surely understand the concepts and advocacy. Well done!
Nothing about the livestock industry? czcams.com/video/25fUy8M9lnk/video.html
Great work Charlie! I'm glad to see this video was made in collaboration with the NCSE. Your content is worthy of being used for education for all ages and can have a significant impact. Keep at it!
Another outstanding video ! I really appreciate the simple, yet in-depth nature of your work. Can't wait to see what you have in the works!
Great video! I live in Mexico City and have a small urban food forest, it has some biodiversity mainly bees,birds, butterflies and smaller insects.
Thank you for your continuing work. And thank you to Cat and DJ as well.
This channel is an odd one. On one hand, I really enjoy the educational part, and I appreciate the effort to inform individuals. On the other hand, it is SUPER fucking depressing see all of this awful shit happen and feeling more or less helpless.
Hello there! Do you take video suggestions? If so, I'd love your take on the following: evolutions in packaging, your post COVID predictions on how brands may start to be more eco (and those who look primed to do so), meat shortages / oil demand decrease and other COVID / eco trends, more brand analysis in general - I love those videos of yours. Aesop skincare would be interesting to look at. Thanks!
Thank you, as always, for making this 🙏🏻
Thank you for blessing this day with your video.
thanks for commenting :)
Hi Charlie! I finally mustered up the motivation to become a patreon subscriber. I hope to become reemployeed after the pandemic to upgrade my subscription. Thank you for always keeping me up to date in not only the issues that concern our environment but possible solutions. Cheers!
Thank you so much for making these videos! We really need to act, and I believe that videos like these really inspire people to do so.
Lovely video and very informative.
I learn so much from this Chanel
love this video! Charlie is a light in the storm :)
I've seen a lot of Eco-minded people say that we all need to live closer to the land and be with nature, but cities are, when built, designed, powered, and operated properly are far less environmentally damaging then living in the countryside. I live in Ottawa Canada and the city is surrounded by wetlands, the city has acknowledged that these critical ecosystems need to be protected and as such city counsel is voting on locking the urban boundary and slowly intensifying the urban landscape. It should also be said that Canadian cities often include more green space then other cities in North America, often having greenbelts too. Ottawa has been rapidly expanding it's city composting program recently as well for use in privet gardens and public parks
I don't know if you've done a video on cities effects on climate change but I think it should be a video you should consider.
good point to bad the majority of people on here are to stupid to like a good comment
With so many people we have today its definetly best many live in cities because that frees up more land for nature habitats, but it needs to be balanced. In many places we should also work to get more biodiversity into the cities and suburbs themself, like having more flowers, trees and bushes planted regularly and leave some parks. Its also good and maybe actually important for peoples mental health to have some elements of nature around them, regardless where they live. And maybe people could have tiny gardens inside cities where they grow things like herbs and have to buy a little bit less at the store (that often comes in plastic and have to be transported long distances), that also helps the environment.
Some people should (or at least reasonably can) live closer to nature, but its not for everyone and many are not the right type for it. As they just dont respect nature and wildlife nearly enough (at least if you want to live in the wilderness thats super important, if youre more of a farmer you kinda have to protect your crops), their attitude is getting rid of everything in their nearby environment that may bother them, rather than doing their best to learning to coexist with whatever lives there
Great. Keep the good work going. Loved it creative man.
Thank you!!!
Our Changing Climate you are always welcome. Your voice and explanation are just soothing as your vfx are. The way you elaborate everything is exceptional and very noticeable. You are doing something for our Mother Earth. Love your spirit, soul, efforts, time and everything. Keep going and bless us with stunning stuff to amaze us.
Really beautifully presented video, yet about such a tragic topic.
This is the challenge we face
We have founded an organization to promote biodiversity in India without accepting any funds from businesses and government. It's really tough to convince people and draw attention to the importance of biodiversity for human survival. Almost all our efforts to promote agrobiodiversity and land use might experience a set back. It's because in this rush to create more activity in the system government might loosen the existing regulations. We are closely watching the governments structural reforms in this matter. Anyways thanks for asking about our involvement. Good content by the way. Appreciated!
this breaks my heart
great job
. I grew up in Richmond in Surrey and my playground was Richmond Park. I wrote about this in Firstgreensteps because there has been a serious decline in British wildlife.
Thank u Sir well explained.
There is no way out of this ecocrisis unless we reduce population 10fold at least starting yesterday
this was my topic for my first essay last semester and got a really sad grade for it. worked so hard too :(
Biodiversity should be used as Measure of country's Wealth rather than GDP
USA, PNG, DRC, China, South Africa, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Madagascar, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and Philippines would be really rich in terms of how much biodiversity they all contain.
You should speak more about some iniciatives and lines of thought that are trying to make economic growth more compatible with the environment. I recently read the book Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist by Kate Raworth, and I think you will found it very inspiring. Thank you for your videos!
This is inspiring
Someone may have already pointed this out, but the "honeycreepers" you show are not species found on Hawai`i. Your photos are of tanagers, Hawaiian honeycreepers are finches (different families). Otherwise, great video!
Thanks for uploading a very useful video.. Keep it up 👍👍❤️
Ilove the video
I think we also need to be much better at learning to coexist with animal wildlife and actively try to promote biodiversity, both by preserving natural habitats, but ALSO inside cities and suburbs. And partially within farming (but sometimes effectively has to go first so people get enough food). Ive read a lot about people removing birds nests of endangered birds because they find the birds kinda annoying, that needs both legal protection and working for attitude change. And too many people having plain grass lawns, regularly cut down so no flowers can grow means there is no food for bees and other pollinating insects in these areas (may help a lot if they at least keep flower bed). Many birds need trees to build their nests, and trees or bushes to hide in, and they should be found regularly everywhere except for natural biomes where they arent found in the first place, like arctic and deserts.
Its understandable to want to keep certain pests away, but the methods used should not be something that clears all wildlife in the area if everyone does it, and can be much more eco-friendly and targeting specific species. Certain plants will repel ticks for example: mint, garlic, rosemary, chrysanthemums, lavender and daisies.
Insulating your house the right way can keep mice from moving in, my mom fixed it that way
In farming I think any field that has only one type of plant need to be a limited size before switching to another type of field. Its terrible for bees when they have to travel enormous distances to get a variety of flowers to feed on, which they actually need for good nutrition and healthy colonies. It may harm other animals too.
Yay! New video! ^-^
Im presuming you used the rainbow loricheet in the thumbnail as an example of a species that has actually taken the place of many others and even become a bit of a pest in areas where people are planting many over seas flowers that blossom at different times from the natives making it stick around all year and verry porminant
The after affects of our australian fires has brought the total much closer to around 4 billion animals lost.
Amazing content. God help our planet
Sorry. We have to do it our self.

Sadly our efforts are to little to late, everything will collapse our children & grandchildren are going to perish.
Always LOVE watching your videos especially the ones with an educational bent. Please consider a video about the promising technologies and positive happenings on the climate change front.
I'm going to recommend everyone read "nature's best hope" by Doug tallamy

the chaotic system it will establish will make it heavier for other time lines to interact.

Animal agriculture is a major cause of habitat loss, and thus biodiversity loss. Especially cattle. "Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. In Brazil, this has been the case since at least the 1970s: government figures attributed 38 percent of deforestation from 1966-1975 to large-scale cattle ranching. Today the figure in Brazil is closer to 70 percent." --Mongabay
We need to reduce population!
This is all the reasons to sequence the genome of as many lifeforms as possible, both extant and extinct, in an attempt to eventually forestall the loss of biodiversity and allow for at least some sort of recovery to take place.
lol
This is our world

I'm gonna be frank with you. I really appreciate your information. I'm glad someone is informing people. But you need to simplify your videos. You've used too many transitions, too many ways the text comes on and off screen, many unnecessary pictures, it starts to take focus off the message(s). Sometimes it just gets irritating.
I don’t know why but i feel guilty everyday and the global warming in my place is so bad
What they won't tell you is bees are not the only pollinators .
They don’t need to tell you that because it’s common sense
@@Patches_0001 But not common knowledge.
Theres less then a million of so many species and our population is in the billions if that isn't unbalanced i don't know what is
Too many of us and less of other species. I hate it.
I just finished my essay about biodiversity and climate change way before I found this video. Fml
this is seriously disturbing video for whoever understand
💕
Hey please make a video where you go into depth about the adversities that people have to face at the moment that can plausibly linked to climate change. I, and probably many other people are not very emotionally attached to bees etc. I recognize that biodiversity is important also for our civilization but seeing that for example farmers are already struggling or that indigenous people lose their land would be much more convincing; yes, I am a specicist and put humanity over animal well-being.

"What's the difference between God granting [man] dominion over every living thing and the U.S. military seeking full-spectrum dominance?"
Throughout Christian history, the style of Western man’s dominion over nature has been that of Genesis 1, and the few sensitive and hopeful souls who have properly recognized the relatively MINOR theme of stewardship have had NO IMPACT ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS WHATEVER. [Worth repeating here: “And pointing to a kindly saint or two in the whole history of the Christianity is like finding an empathetic pro-animal verse or two in the whole Bible, then trying to build a case that the Church cares about other animals. No goodwill seems to have found its way into Church doctrine.”] The world is full of CHRISTIAN APOLOGISTS who call attention to the stewardship theme in defense of their persuasion, but THEIR RECOGNITION OF IT HAS NEVER PROGRESSED BEYOND THE ACADEMIC STAGE. IT HAS MADE NO IMPRESSION UPON THE “REAL WORLD.” What HAS made an impression is the sense of Genesis 9:2 - “AND THE FEAR OF THEE AND THE DREAD OF THEE SHALL BE UPON EVERY LIVING THING….”

There are about 8 million species of animals worldwide and less then 1 million of them have been described. Furthermore, there are more extinct animal species then there are non-extinct animal species. So when a scientist tells you that thousands of animals go extinct every year, this puts things in a bit of perspective.
For more scientific evidence and information go to GeoengineeringWatch.org and become informed and do your research.
Easiest way to reduce carbon footprint: - dont eat animal products -
who agrees?
I think doing plantations is more easy and adaptable...
stop shopping for things that you want rather than need
IF you can actually thrive on it and not everyone does, everyones body is different. When I tried eating a vegan diet I was hungry almost constantly, like less than half a hour after finishing each meal I was hungry again, and again for the whole day (first 24 hours were fine and didn't have these symptoms, after that it was terrible). Ate basically all day and like 10 times more food than I would usually eat because it didn't satisfy me. And also lost basically all my spare time too it, and felt like I had too much food in the stomach (and that does not equal satisfied). If someone eats that much more I dont think there is much more gain anyway. And either way life quality, energy and overall health is really important and just not acceptable to compromise on (and even if you decrease the risk of some health issues in the future, Id much rather die a bit earlier than live with constantly lower health and quality of life)
But I do think people can at least cut down cow milk and dairy specifically, since cows are supposed to be the absolute worst. And replace most with bird (meat and eggs) and fish which has lower CO2. And maybe many can cut down meat a bit but not all the way. Minimum standards for animal welfare absolutely needs to improve but thats a separate issue. I buy from brands with better animal welfare myself, and rarely meat from mammals unless its wild game
:(
Your map of islands, specifically the Pacific Islands doesn’t even show the island of Guam, largest of the Marianas and Micronesia. It has had the largest amount of biodiversity loss due to humans and the ‘Americanization’ of that island like Oahu. Too many people want to live in Paradise. Heard of the ‘koko’ bird- well I’m from there and that bird among all 15 other birds endemic to the island are all gone.
hey im here the day this was uploaded cool and no one else cares
Want to see the biggest threat to biodiversity? just use google earth and look at the rural lands of your country or any country in the world for that matter and see how much land is actually left natural and not farmed. Millions of farms covering vast areas with pretty well every square inch being farmed in some areas is common, it's totally obvious that there's very little, or no naturalized areas left, it makes me feel sick inside. The bees, butterflies and indigenous animals are gone in these areas because they are starving, they have no good food... they can't live on wheat, corn, soy, or canola or any farmed food for that matter... they need to the natural indigenous flowers and plants that they evolved to need over thousands of years....Some only eat one kind of plant! Along the roads and highways near my home is one of the only places where I see milkweed, wild asters, goldenrod, wild cone flowers growing but, unfortunately the township roads dept thinks it looks better when it's all dead and cut down. Climate change is not the problem.... WE are the problem.
The agriculture we need to grow our food is kinda necessary, and just saying "we are the problem" may be technically true, but not very productive. I think there should be laws to help biodiversity within farming, like a minimum of regular occurrence of patches of flowers that insects like to feed on and some trees here and there. But farming food and some clothing materials (way less than today as many shop clothes as a hobby) is still a necessity. We may be too many people, but genocide is not an acceptable option, hopefully we make fewer people in the future. And cutting out animal farming may cut down a lot of areal and resources. But not everyone can thrive on a vegan diet and peoples health is just not up for compromise (if someone does it to themself voluntary that is their choice and problem. And even if you get lower risk of some diseases that does not make up for living with constantly lowered health). I felt terrible on a vegan diet myself and either way ate like 10 times as much because I just kept getting hungry again and again in very short timespan. But we can still encourage people to eat less meat (but adapted to individual needs), and specifically avoid or greatly minimize products from cow
Also, people need to learn coexisting with animals where they live much more, and actively try to help certain species of animals live there
So why are we all chasing economic success ? Our success seems to be linked to manufacturing products and buying and selling. Looks like our only chance is to give up cars, jet travel, among other pollution causing things . We need barter and trade only again , no money allowed .
Good luck to humans 80% are too greedy. Talking about pollution or climate change is pointless unless you talk about the root causes and the changes needed . Unless we personally are prepared to first put our cars away , then just lets accept our fate and in turn the fate of all other life on earth . I personally can't believe the earth can still produce oxygen considering how many cars and jets are manufactured and driven daily.
California one state that always cries about pollution has a "car culture" . You. Individually drive hundreds of miles a day and kill any attempt at building a railway that goes north and south. The devil👹 has you by the throat and he is right next to you >>> your car 👹
Insects and animals will adapt to the changing climate like they've always adapted to the ever changing climate for millions of years. Extinctions suck but they are inevitable whether humans are around or not. Stop stressing people out about this stuff. We should do what we can to reduce plastics and pollution but we can't do anything about climate change.
When human activity is having an negative affect on the climate and the environment, it should be dealt with and not sit on your hands doing little to nothing to fix the problem.
this video is kinda sus :/
STOP using the word decimate wrong. I am sick and tired of people who can't even look up a word. Decimate means reduce by 1/10th not to destroy. Only you Americans do this. What happened to your education system that makes it so bad you can't even use words right!
Decimate means to take away something, the planets biodiversity is being decimated, being taken away, bees are being decimated, bees are being taken away, no one’s using it wrong your just ignorant and dumb
