- Arctic temperatures are rising at least three times faster than the global average. That's causing a whole raft of very unwanted consequences in our global climate system. Now a new research paper has analysed the fundamental long term changes in the way heat is carried into the Arctic Ocean from the much warmer Pacific and Atlantic oceans. And it's not great news!

Thank you for keeping your videos ad free
Nothing dampens learning more than ridiculous ads splattered willy-nilly.
Yes..... I don't mind a few, but double ads every two to three minutes is ridiculous - I've literally never bought anything advertised on YT in my life, and that goes for all the social media, email spam, anything that was presented to me online unless it was something I was actually searching for
and intended to buy whether it was online or not.....
Buy alot of lighters to help hold back the advancing glaciers!
Ads are causing global warming
Thank you for noticing the ad-free content. It is a really important principle for the channel.
The king crab season was cancelled this year because they seem to have disappeared. This goes hand in hand with the lack of nutrients that you pointed out here. Disturbing to say the least. Few thought the changes would be this dramatic this soon, and it is escalating.
second year in a row.
Count me in the group that has observed that every negative prediction has been optimistic on the time frame for MANY years. YES it is escalating and has been for some time.
Actually if ANYBODY read 1980s climate science (I did) the warning on FEEDBACKS were quite clear, and here we are.

We have a fantastic hot summer up here in Northern Norway, it's very warm and delightful indeed. Unfortunately the sea is dying, and the fish is gone. So the seagulls have to eat pigeons in order to survive. The reindeer's are starving as well and the perma frost in the ground at Svalbard is melting away. Everything is a mess, a sort of climate crisis so to speak. In the meantime we are all enjoying the burning midnightsun, working on the tanned skin cancer, while reading about all the temperature records, heatwaves and forest fires in Southern Europe. And don't forget all the methane gass from the tundra of Siberia. Have a nice summer! 😎🖤👍
Why are you lying though? The whole northern europe inclusive northern norway is having a very cold summer despite promises of a hot and dry one, a daytime max of 15c here in central sweden is 8c colder than average and more harmful than the opposite like 8c above average. This channel is very biased and only brings out alarmism instead of realism.
@@albin4323 I'm sorry, but I don't know where in Sweden you are at the moment. Here in Norway we have had record high temperatures in Oslo in June, and also higher than average temperature in Northern Norway during July. And yes, the Perma frost in Svalbard is actually melting away, creating severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. Co2 levels and methane gas are still increasing as well. We have severe drought at the moment, that creates huge problems for farmers.
@@albin4323i am from Poland, we also had cold spring and cloudy Summer with mostly mild tepratures.
The summer started early in Latvia, but it's been raining for three weeks, possibly caused by the Canadian fire smoke in the upper atmosphere.
@@foto21 or maybe as a result from the last heatwaves in Southern Europe.
I love the way you think the people we vote for, have most of the power when it comes to implementing environmental policy... The true power here lies with people we DIDN'T vote for... The Banks, the Oil companies, the conglomerate lobby groups, the investment groups such as Blackstone or Vanguard! THAT is why things have been slow to move... because there is no accountability for those with the power to REALLY make the changes needed.
ExxonMobil runs the UN climate action committee and is a leader in green energy so I'm not sure how true this sentiment is..
The entire system is based upon an economic model that needs to be fundamentally revised from the ground up. The power does in fact lie with the people...but the system is engrained in our approach to growth and constant wealth generation. How do we stop consuming when our jobs rely on people buying more stuff or most still aspire to be rich- flying private jets into Snow Valley for a ski weekend? We need to not be a part of this system. Not saying to live off the grid and raise fish for your aquaponic garden.. but that might be a good start!
@@timotheosleahy4421 lol good luck with that given most people can barely afford to rent a box to live in 😆
@@adjacent-smith You can't see the irony of a major polluter running the action committee that is supposed to help solve the problem it has caused? Read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil_climate_change_denial
@@adjacent-smith your info about Exxon is actually right in line with what OP is talking about, so I'm not sure why you're doubtful..
The old adage, "Plant a tree in whose shade we will not sit.' is a good metaphor perhaps... Unfortunately, we can't stop doing what we're doing long enough to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic...
Normally the warm Atlantic Sea water from the Gulf Stream would be exposed to cold air and in the process of ice formation, very cold dense saline water sinks to the ocean floor and moves south. That is the Thermal Haline Circulation (which we all know about). Now if the Arctic is melting creating a large cold fresh water low saline cap, it might make sense that the warm Atlantic water sinking process might be being interrupted, does not sink as much as it normally does, and increasingly flows (simply as a matter of the continuity equation) northward into the Arctic Basin. This would amplify the fresh water melting process in the Arctic. A slow down in the Gulf Stream Transport in my mind is similar to shutting down the flue over your roaring fireplace. The hot air back feeds into your house instead of up the chimney. Same for the Gulf Stream. Slow down the Gulf Stream and abnormally warm water piles up in the Subtropical Atlantic (back draft if you will). If the Gulf Stream is not cooling and sinking it finds a way into the lower level Atlantic salty water layer in the Arctic. The big question is, what does this do to the Atmospheric Westerly Jet Dynamics, and does that amplify occasions of Negative AO. In a weird feedback way, as you mentioned, due to the melted Arctic, we end up with lazy atmospheric long waves that drive abnormally cold air into lower latitudes that increase the severity of Extratropical Storms and dare say I winter snow storms across North America. In short, I think the melted Arctic will initiate a robust snow making machine across portions of North America. Warm moist air input from an overheated ocean colliding with abnormally cold air along an active westerly jet that is being forced much further south than normal due to a persistent negative AO pattern. We shall see. As a retired meteorologist, my gut is telling me more snow is on the way. Finally, with all the hot Atlantic water, it makes sense we might have more Tropical Cyclones... except... for that lazy long wave, which throws a monkey wrench into the pattern. You may have noticed the Atlantic High Pressure Ridge is remaining strong this year, and we have a fairly persistent albeit weak, upper level long wave pattern over the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. So now we have a collision between statistical seasonal Hurricane forecasts based solely on ENSO and sea water temperatures, and a new player on the scene, called amplified long waves caused by an abnormally warm Arctic. Personally, I think everyone needs to step back and take another look at what is going on. PS, I am retired NWS /Hydrologic Modeler / Weather Forecaster. I also know you can tweak parameters to get a perfect match with past data, and end up with a model that is completely off in terms of undertanding what is physically going on. (Had a few printouts returned with lots of red ink... LOLs.) You basically can make a model do what ever your prediliction is. The trick is to understand what is going on. Thanks for your presentation. Really Great Graphics!

VRAI c'est une opération montée de toute pièce par l'oligarchie , car celka va permettre à certains gouvernements de mettre différentes taxes comme la taxe carbonne etc... Mais il est à se demander si le clmat n'est pas l'objet d'une manipulation humaine pour cela il faut écouter et regarder certaines vidéos US et autres pays avançés en technologies climatiques comme les USA etc... Car il est recponnu que les chemtrails sont des technologies connues quoi permettent de faire pleuvoir ou inverssement , sans compter ces armes avançées qui peuvent provoquer des tremlblements de terre , ceci n'est pas une affaire de complotisme mais une réalité de plus en plus dénonçée par des patriotes américains bien plaçés pour en apporter les preuves
Rather than snow, what you might get is a super amped up version of the kind of Midwest storms that produce tornadoes, and most of that precipitation coming down as a very violent hailstorms and rain as these warm and moist lower level atmospheres meets cool and dry upper level. We are tugging the tail of a dragon that at one point covered parts of North America in 3 km of ice.
Precisely. That is step one in the transition process. We'll get hammered with all kinds of crazy severe weather due to the clash between hot moist air and very cold air. More crazy, is as winter progresses you end up with Severe Weather near the frontal boundary and snow north of the boundary. I believe that has been happening the last two winters.@@sowireless

6:47 The insurance issue is a significant point that I haven't seen much content on. If I lived in Florida then I could always sell my house and leave, or wait for a disaster to hit me, collect the insurance money, and leave. If insurance suddenly pulled out then my house price would plummet, because no one wants or is able to buy an uninsurable house. That basically means that I'm suddenly left with nothing. From my perspective, insurance pulling out is the disaster I need to prepare for.
climate change is real

Thank you Dave, for this wonderful channel and please, keep the good work! Informed, trusted, sober and reasonable voices are needed in the coming turbulent times.
I was gonna thank Dave for his videos! Beat me to the punch!
I couldn’t agree more :)
Thanks for your feedback. I will keep doing my best :-)
@@JustHaveaThink as a comment to your final thoughts. politicians don`t really care(or are incompetent to understand the problem). as of now its a game of virtue signaling for power and votes.. if they really were interested in less polution for example. they would more or less END global mass trade of produced cheap consumer goods. which would help the west both in regarding to our economy/own production and also an eventual global climate change/general pollution. it would also reduce the chance of a future world war three. as china are slowly gearing up to a new world order. paid for by us
Except that there is little of truth in what he said, it was an excellent video!
The water "conveyor belt" which travels from it's origin from the arctic down the coast of Africa and back up to India is the most important global temperature moderator. It depends on heavy saltwater at its start sinking and creating the driving force to carry it's temperature moderation half way around the world. If the saltwater is replaced by fresh water such as melting glsciers then it will cease to exist with a profound effect on moderation of the weather and all will be lost.
On the issue of melting glaciers. Is it all our fault? on top of what you mentioned about conveyor belts, the other factor in regulating temperature is the earths axial tilt and elliptical orbit round the Sun. , a degree or more tilt the wrong way means the northern hemisphere is more exposed. there is frozen vegetation below the ice, so it must have melted before. I think I'd be right in saying the climate change we are seeing is only very partly caused by human activity
@@vincentl.9469 It is not about guilt. It is about action. We as a species must act to survive, instead of leading senseless wars and loosing ourselves in luxury or amusement.
Your right.We need to look at the other side of the world closer.Most populated nations live there.
@@vincentl.9469 Let's hope it's manmade because then we know more or less how to fix it. If it's not man made then we're fudged since we don't know what caused it nor how to fix it. It doesn't matter if it's natural or man made - we have to pull it back into a behavior all living things are used to live in. The good news is it's probably the result of humans spewing carbon in the atmosphere so we know how to fix it. Oh ... and we also know what to do when the next Ice Age comes - a natural phenomenon - so we won't freeze.
I'm from Brazil - a country "discovered" by the Portuguese in 1500. In 1545, Portuguese sailors reached Japan - the first European nation to reach the Asian country. They've been keeping records of the South Atlantic winds and temperatures for over 500 years. The first hurricane recorded in the South Atlantic was in 2014 - the first in over 500 years. There have been others since then.
@@vincentl.9469ah yes so it’s all no big deal right? Why even worry about it right? The earth has warmed and cooled before so it’s all good right? No threat to millions of lives and future lives. All good.
Your videos are of such a high quality. Respectful, done with humour but delivering a pretty terrifying message. I really wish more people were watching these.
Today, in the Greek islands, catastrophic fires have put both lives and revenue from tourism at risk. What a shame it's not Downing Street in flames or the Whitehouse. Perhaps if the 1% were at risk instead of cruising in air conditioned Range Rovers, we'd have a bit of action.
Never any fires in Greece before global warming!!!
@@scottslotterbeck3796 Not as frequent and intense.
We have had heat waves in Greece in the past, but nothing like the duration seen in the 30 years. Also extremes of cold. Snow of some Greek Islands, which have never had any in recorded history.
Good 👍! Well the fires would need something organic to burn and those political parties are fake!
The fire in Rhodes was started by human hands, according to the representative of the Fire Department, Giannis Artopioos.’
Changing the people who represent us has maybe never been more critical to the planet's long term outlook
go on then
What like imposing your views like fascists and do away with democracy, it isn't going to happen, we are not going to give a 100 billion for the global south to squander either, when we have problems of our own and the World is becoming disconnected due to Autocrats!?!
FordeReport ...
And you know damn well that there's very little freedom of choice to elect who represents us.
Fascists are gaining popularity again all over Europe because it's much more PC to demonise refugees (climate refugees fyi) than it is for a politician to pursue stringent taxes and regulations on the wealthiest of industries, bodies and individuals; than it is to address the true causes of climate collapse and inaction to rectify our profit-first societies' flaws and contradictions
This angle only works in the countries that are already reducing their CO2, it's suggested we pay other nations to reduce their emissions, it's just not going to happen.

It’s easy to say we should just change who represents us. But when the “system” has been corrupted by the powerful political class, we are ALL subjects of dictatorships.
There is no "system".
There's only people, and what people do.
And if people systemize things, that's usually for a very good reason... Don't forget that you are expected to live almost twice as long as your great, great grandparents, when they were born!
Ok, that was kind of many threads at once... Even I hardly understand what I just wrote! 😅
What I'm trying to say is that "blaming the system" is often just an easy way out! It's not a person, so it can't argue back. But in fact, our societies have done a world of good for us...
So consider that, before trying to uproot the system. 😏 It's probably better to work for even more positive change WITHIN the system... that has done a world of good for us.
There. That was at least a little bit clearer. 😂
@mind5403 I enjoyed your comment
I think there is more to be said here, and more common ground than you convey when you write "...there is a system owned by the billionaires who are profiting from the oil industry."
Don't we all profit from fossil fuel? Do you mean profiteering?)
Yours was a somewhat harsh reply to @karolinahagegard's "There is no [quote] system [unquote]"
I don't think there is a system, in the sense that there was a system before Brexit and now there isn't.
Equally there is now a system, the NHS, which is not the system it was before CoVid.
There were once dentistry, education, university, policing "systems" and global ocean current systems are changing, as this video conveys.
We are not going to get very far if we simply state our own view as truth, and take issue with the sense of what others are saying, even if we would not use their expression(s) to convey meaning.
It's late and I have been writing all day...sorry
@@karolinahagegard I get what you’re trying to say, but I think you may be a bit naive. There is definitely a system. And there are politically powerful people exercising control that the average person can’t stop. This is the topic and the comment I was offering.
When powerful people control in a way that the average person can’t resist, you have a dictatorship. Or, if you look beyond the puppet strings you can call it an oligarchy.

Your channel is excellent, your videos serious and factual without being over dramatic scare mongering like so many on here!
You are on point: I am in Eastern Canada and we have had record rain. When there is no rain we have oppressive heat and humidity with humidex values close to 40c ... in the Great North. Everyone needs a wakeup call, this is happening. Over 9 iinches of rain in the first 16 days of July, like a Monsoon.
Have you thought that this is just an anomaly and not a permanent scenario.
We had two very hot years in Melbourne yet the past 2 years are amongst the coldest on record.
I'm confident that our planet can balance itself out better without having further interference from us. We don't have a good grasp on the problem to be able to help the planet.
Another theory going around is the extra CO2 will green the planet and create positive changes through that fact.
@@jamesgreig5168 I can appreciate that we are all experiencing changes - often extremes of weather, from flood to drought from heat, or record cold. Here in the winter (which is 6 months) we have low snow pack and 2 summers running of rain forest type rain. We haven't had 48 hrs dry ... in all of July! Which is the height of our dry summer season.... when I was young, no one here had A/C and a hot summer day was 28c, now pushing 40c with 98% humidity!

@@jamesgreig5168 No thanks for the suggestion-- not going back to sleep, rather I am pushing hard to eliminate fossil fuels from my economics, and as soon as enough people do the same and electrify their vehicles, a then politically possible carbon tax will accelerate the adoption of better technologies up the s-curve, driving higher levels of employment in those new sectors is as outlined in so many welcome just have a think videos Unfortunately it's all about economics for many, and a carbon tax with border adjustment tariffs are absolutely necessary in order to bring the true costs of burning fossil fuels into the price of the product. New employment and investment opportunities await those that jump on these trends early.

The governmental steps taken, or lack thereof, are quickly leading us towards large scale catastrophe and human suffering... I'm currently working on taking over our family farm in Norway, and have been shocked by the changers I've observed since my childhood(I'm turning 30 this year). The total lack of awareness within the farming community/governmental bodies, is truly frightening... The massive amounts of inputs and methods required for modern agriculture cause an enormous amounts of pollution, degrade topsoil, degrade waterways, reduce potential carbon sequestration, provide poorer and poorer quality fodder, and erase our much needed biodiversity. I truly hope more people will take the steps required to secure our future, changing is hard, not doing so is death... Thank you for your fact based videos, that help to inform the public, I hope it urges more people to also do their part!
Have you read Feral: Rewilding the Land, Sea and Human Life by George Monbiot?
I live in the state of Iowa in the USA. Most people think that this state, which grows corn, is all family owned farms. That statement is not true. It is all owned by corporations. The family farm as we knew it, is gone. A family farmer would keep a keen eye on his crops. Walk his fields. Check for problems. And do what needed to be done if a problem came up. He would rotate his fields every few years, and fertilize the land with his animals excrement. Corporations on the other hand, spray for bugs every few weeks, fertilize every so many weeks. It does not matter if the crop needs it or not. They just spray. Corporations never give anything back to the land to help it stay healthy and maintain its biodiversity in little bugs and organisms that says your soil is healthy. It is now all sterile soil. When I was a child growing up, if we left the porch light on in the evening, it would have hundreds of bugs flying around that light. Now, there is nothing flying around our porch light at night. These chemicals that they spray all the time is dripping down into our water that we drink every day. There is a huge water aquifer under the state of Nebraska here in the USA. Not only is it getting low, but the water now coming out of it is full of chemicals that these corporations spray every week. We are dooming ourselves to a slow painful death. Sometimes freedom is not always free. Bernie Sanders Social Democracy seems a better way to go than what we have now.

Great video, Dave, have we really got the leadership we deserve? I don't think I want to hear the answer to that.
In a word, no. The great reset is inevitable.
@@infinitejest441 Are you a bot? lol
Very nicely done, always a pleasant experience 💚🍀💚
Great job Dave..thank you
It doesn't look good, does it? Thanks for this good summary again.
Great video. Great pics ending
If the people representing us will not change then it's up to us to change those representing us
Thank you for a fantastic well explained presentation
"if the people who represents us don't change, we the people must change who represents us", don't know if I got it right, but it sounds really important. Thank you for sharing
Have a look at the Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies around Greenland. All far below normal, this is due to the immense amount of glacial runoff water (which spills into the ocean at just a few degrees C), which is happening at a higher than normal rate.
Greater snowfall leads to greater runoff.
@@jeremyashford2115
Unfortunately that's not how it works, greater snow melt leads to greater ice melt, and that creates great run off.
See even if we get more snow, and with more moisture in the air, and we probably are, if rain comes and melts that surface snow,
then the ice is exposed.
Ice is darker than snow.
Snow reflects a lot of light,
while ice absorbs it, and melts.
give a little extra snow, take a lot more melt.
it's a losing proposition.
This may be true but does not reflect the real situation where Peter Wadhams has described the North Atlantic sea surface temperatures as rising at a factor of seven.
Thank you for explaining this. Greed for short term profit for a very few people has put our species in danger. The planet will survive us, but will we survive the greed of the few ?
It's civilization that will suffer, and if it goes so does most of the population.
I expect some people would survive, but those people are going to find themselves back in the stone age, without the knowledge and tools to survive.
A pretty dicey situation all around.
You will not, because the greed of the few is what is serving the needs of the masses. The rich feed of the of poor, and they do that by giving the poor what they want, like food. If there was not enough food there wouldn't be half the people there is today. Killing the ruling class means killing half or more of us. Hate to say it, but short term profits is all we care about, we care about having food tomorrow, not about having food six years from now, because if we starve to death today food six years in the future won't matter.
Some humans will survive, but it will not be the people you think it will be. It will be the people who know how to live off the land, not farmers, but those rainforest people who get all their needs from their environment. Indigenous people from all continents. They have no use for cars, plastic or grocery stores.
@@LadyLeda2 I agree with you that the ones who do, if any survive, will be living symbiotically with the planet. I wish I was able to grow my own food. plastic is pollution and should be banned.
Fantastic. Thanks for helping!
GREAT video as always!
in australia the winter has been weird it been acting weird sometimes its warm but then its been extremely cold sometimes it feels like spring then like winter again
Hello from Greece, currently struck by forest-fires.
I guess that, when we watched 'The Day After Tomorrow', we were all consoled and reassured that this was only a Hollywood disaster movie and climate change would take place really slowly (in the course of millennia). So our governments and we, the various peoples, kept on the same bad habits and now we realize in shock that climate change has sped up ... :-(
I knew about the AMOC in 2004 when the movie came out. I did not understand back then how many systems of the earth beyond the AMOC would be affected. I think there will be so many changes in a short period of tIme and that worries me,
As usual, ty for the great video!
You rock, thank you so so much Dave.😊
Thx for the essential information as usual
You're welcome :-)
In the area I live, (Cal/Or. boarder) I have witnessed several types of flora and fauna move in from the warmer southern region.

Just found you ... and subbed ... I like your presentation method and calm voice
Thank you for this!!
Here in New Jersey, and adjacent New York and Pennsylvania, we’ve had flooding which has been fatal. While in Vermont, there’s been flooding that surpassed the flooding done by Hurricane Irene in 2011. Thanks for some straight reporting on a runaway existential crisis.
That's never happened before eeeeeeeeK!
EVERYTHING is connected - that's the BIG takeaway for me Dave...everything except economics and modern accounting. I'm a newbie fan btw - so I'm busy catching up! Thanks for your epic endeavour!
Excellent content.
Beautiful visualisations!
So much for the U.S. House rep from Oklahoma, USA, who brought snowballs from a recent winter storm to the House to prove that the climate is not warming! Trouble is, that person seems to represent the majority of people--everywhere. Humans are amazing, but not quite intelligent enough to survive.
US is screwed. Get out while you can.

Given that the last 10-15 years has resulted in swings to right in politics, which has made countries more insular politically, it has frustrated the living daylights out of me that the very thing we don't need for combatting HICC is that attitude.
Does it have to be a left VS right issue? Or can we acknowledge that climate change is both real and also used as a tool for social control?
The left and right are two hands of the same body. The pockets of the body are filled with money from companies. Dont expect any change, left or right, until the money is stopped
@@lanesteele240 On the whole, the political left do not deny HICC. In my experience, the political right like to "debate" about HICC as a means of stalling action to change from business as usual.
@@ramblerandy2397 ill say it again, they are the hands of the same body. The democrats had both the congress and the presidency in 2020. They did nothing to change the tide. They also had it in obamas first term. No notable changes.

Ps. Great video and very intelligent comments below.
People are really thinking today.And many lost everything already.
Its hitting faster then expected.
This is well done.
Thank you, thank you. I've been trying to explain the seriousness of the climate change situation to my dad for 15 years. Sent him a link to one of your videos, and now, finally, he gets it and is telling me that I've underplayed it to him!!!
50% said is correct and the other 50% is purely speculation. I wouldn't be trying to hard to change your father's views.
And after it all has been said and done, there's a lot more said than done.
Great work sir
Keep going.
Thanks! Still clear and useful.
Thank you :-)
Thanks very much for your videos Dave. They're all so good, but you clearly articulated why I became obsessed with the arctic about 10 years ago. My one quibble, and maybe something you could do a video on, is the use of RCP-8.5 by the authors of the paper. My understanding is RCP-8.5 is includes almost no emissions mitigation and implausibly increasing amounts of burning of coal for decades to come: it's basically 'burn all the coal you can'. RCP-8.5 is definitely the worst case scenario, but it is also basically an impossible scenario, it is worse than status quo/business as usual.
As we are clearly in the middle of an energy system revolution with accelerating renewables and EVs, (along with a host of other emissions lowering tech you've been covering) we will never hit RCP-8.5. I believe RMI recently put out a paper saying that emissions will soon start coming down. It would've been nice if the authors of this paper also did a version of RCP-4.5.
Fair comment, but I am only conveying the information contained in the paper.
Quite right. 4.5 is a plausible worst-ish case. Using 8.5 is sloppy science. Climatologists use it to get a big headline number but long term they just look foolish
'the west' might be (trying to) decrease it's footprint, but what about (the growing population of) Asia and Africa?
@@MsSjaakvaak I'm sure the transition will happen in Asia and Africa as well. China has been the biggest deployer of renewables globally and adopter of EVs. Most of the other big Asian countries are rapidly adopting EVs and renewables and they all have emissions reduction plans. Just because you don't see it in the western news doesn't mean it isn't happening.
@@marcelguldemond2523 China is also opening a coal-burning power plant each week.
Thank you so much for everything you are doing for everyone!
He is priming us for slavery. I hope you are ready for that scenario.

"Put a value on nature that goes beyond just money"
Just ask your friends and neighbors if they are willing to turn off their heating , air conditioning , stop driving their cars and other things that might use energy
Pretty sure none of them can survive without those basic things
It hasnt got a damn thing to do with fossil fuels. If it did, we'd be screwing ourselves totally with EVs and wind power because they use more fossil fuels . Even coal mining has picked up and strip mining for cobalt and lithium. Mankind will end up going extinct due to stupidity and politics.
Revolution, fight for climate! I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal who left my career over disgust of how things work in Québec, unbelivable! Ya too bad thinkings not what they want to do!
You do this brilliantly David. Terrifying information calmly delivered. THANKS

6:35 I really wish scientists would look at reasonable averages for once instead of looking at extremes that will serve no purpose to provide a forecast and will only cause polarization among readers. Yes it may be less "hey look at this!" attention grabbing but also keep things real for everyone.

(8:15) "... the Arctic is a long way away, isn't it? ... unless you live in Canada or ..."
Surely this is a bit of an odd comment? I live in Canada, not far from Ottawa, which sits at 45.4°N, compared with London at 51.5°N. Meaning: London is some 420 miles closer to the Arctic than Canada's Capital city, and some 640 miles closer than Toronto (@ 43.7°N.) In fact the 'entirety' of the British Isles is closer to the Arctic than almost all of Canada's major urban centres.
I suspect though, that you were actually hinting at temperatures, rather than latitudes. Ottawa is after all, the World's coldest capital city. Dare I say however, that the UK is likely far more vulnerable to a climate driven shift in ocean currents, than for example, Canada. You are a lot closer than you might think.
What I was actually doing, was having a bit of a laugh and a joke to try to lighten the mood of the video slightly.
Ty for putting this together.
Let's all think long and hard about what the children's children will be inheriting.

This is really sad. Somehow we have neglected politics and corruption for too long. Democracy licks our self-centered behinds every few years and every time we go for the same cheap one. We do not choose between politicians or politics, but between companies and industries. And not even between them, because they lobby and finance all parties and parties compete for their money. One or two less corrupt or caring people in some party means nothing. Actually they are just there to blur our perception.
Completely agree with the wrap-up. Time to change those who represent us.
The people you elect have minuscule effect on anything that you believe.
Homo Sapiens, big brain but acts in a foolish manner. Besides having passed the climate tipping point, humans cannot give up their love of consuming energy, pleasure seeking and thinking that the human species is something special. Prepare to embrace pain and suffering.
@@memjay9932 These puppets and their theater(media) keep our attention away from the real power : the 1%. They enslave the world, the puppets only obey and apply, they don't decide. They think the power they have (that we give to them) will keep them forever away from the storm, they will always have a shelter. They live in a fantasy. It's madness to imagine solving a problem with what/who make it. We must do what we need to do for ourselves, our specie, our descendants, our environment, etc independently of their whims or delirium. If we can't do with them, we must do without them. In any case they will pay the bill (the price of their inaction) simply because they accumulate all the wealth in their pockets. Ours are empty now.
Exchange them with what? Aliens? AI? If you put other humans in that position it'll just end up with more of the same.
@@daniel4647 Sadly true.
While I find this video simply excellent and informative and undeniable, what is to be done? There is a lot of talk about pressuring those who have the power in the comments etc but the presenter himself states: "...to late to put the genie back in the bottle." So ultimately what is the ask here? Furthermore, the immediate conclusion that we can somehow do something about it seems extremely arrogant. We are but guests on this planet. So really the only question remaining is how we live together and organise ourselves. We should obviously do as much as we can for any small impact that might have but we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking we can fix something we don't entirely comprehend. We should absolutely continue to study the phenomena and attempt to do what we can but realise we do so with probably very little chance of reversing anything, purely for figuring out what our future holds and how to manage that.
Nice message
The Arctic dipole anomaly is a pressure pattern characterized by high pressure on the arctic regions of North America. This pattern sometimes replaces the Arctic oscillation and the North Atlantic oscillation. It was observed for the first time in the first decade of 2000s and is perhaps linked to recent natural climate change. The Arctic dipole lets more southern winds into the Arctic Ocean resulting in more ice melting. The summer 2007 event played an important role in the record low sea ice extent which was recorded in September. The Arctic dipole has also been linked to changes in arctic circulation patterns that cause drier winters in Northern Europe, but much wetter winters in Southern Europe and colder winters in East Asia, Europe and the eastern half of North America. In the 1990s and early 2000s, many studies of Arctic sea ice export focused on the Arctic and North Atlantic oscillations as the primary drivers of export. The Arctic dipole anomaly has two poles of opposite sign: one over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and northern Greenland, the other over the Kara and Laptev seas.[11] This dipole structure leads to a pressure gradient with a zero isopleth oriented from the Bering Strait, across the Arctic to the Greenland and Barents seas. As a result, anomalous winds are generally directed parallel to the zero isopleth either towards the Greenland and Barents seas (positive Arctic dipole anomaly) or toward the Bering Strait (negative Arctic dipole anomaly). However, the Arctic oscillation cannot be ignored when considering sea ice export from the Arctic. By itself, circulation associated with a positive phase Arctic Oscillation results in an increase in sea ice export, while the negative phase of the Arctic oscillation is associated with reduced Arctic sea ice export. Once again how much is natural and how much is man made? I live 700 miles from polar bear capital of the world but can't go hunt one with a bow. Save the polar bears. I wanna go hunt one. I do like the electric motorcycles and boats. Why don't electric vehicles come with solar panels.
Then they could not charge us for refills.
That's an interesting word salad.
Yes air circulation oscillations could play a significant part in large swings. Don't explain the 670 terawatts global heater though.
How much is man made?

"If the people representing us will not change, it is up to us to change the people representing us." Excellent point... but we didnt choose our last two PM's and the current one caused a financial mess as chancellor, then got the top slot, a little WEF stooge... we are doomed.
Only yesterday, I watched Black Gold. According to the information in it, Exon was doing sea and air research into temperature and carbon levels. It seems this research is a kind of an expansion of that start they pulled funding from in the 70s. They well knew climate was affected by fossil fuel use.
