The Camilo guy is FANTASTIC HAHA
The last point made by the man from Colombia is very telling. We cannot sit here and talk about things we will do in ten years. We must work hard on climate change NOW
Tell that to the big corporations who will benefit most from all of this.
Be the change you want to see, I became an engineer to buy land and produce food in the carbon negative. Hippies always want change but never want to work hard to build, only protest and destroy.
We really are doomed as a species. The world will survive but I’m not sure about mankind.
🙄
You mean like EVERY species in history?
It's only when it affects us directly, the world will do anything serious about it. By then it may already be too late, I fear for future of the human race
My first thought was flesh eating bacteria.
Let me introduce our infectious disease expert who's been studying climate change related microorganisms.
"Doctor, what do you have to say"
"We know that we don't know"
... thank you for your 40 years of work ma'am
ok but how would she know? the permafrost hasn´t molten yet and she´s just warning about the dangers
It means that there is still microbial life on Mars glaciers
Thank you
I commend his passion, we are our own worst enemy
this will be seen as a controversial take to some, but it makes perfect sense if you care for animals. they are prone to disease when conditions are worse, why would we be any different
Well… crap. Another surprise pandemic on the way. Make that many. This is a great video.
YES lockdowns coming back?
@@peacelovehopecharity you ain’t wrong, if I’m honest I don’t believe many grow out of their high school mentality. They never get out of their “glory days.”
lasting for years is 😮😂
well, at least the bacteria will most likely be susceptible to penicillin lmao
I sure hope so. 🤞
hopefully
uh oh they are super cerial now 👁🕳👁
Could it potentially also hide massively powerful prehistoric cavemen
Could these viruses inform our understanding of viruses causing infections today?
I noticed that we received good and Balanced rains in Africa in 2020 when most global industries closed due to COVID, reducing carbon emissions.
Could have been a coincidence.
work from home or dead at home
Climate change isn’t world ending, we will essentially go back in time to when that carbon was already in the air climate wise.
So smallpox will come back.
Great content, but we really don't need to see the presenter's face so often. Please use more images or other graphics during narration.
Just to confirm- eastern US > poison ivy and TICKS will only spread FURTHER NORTH . Also they know the mangroves of the gulf region will advance up the Atlantic coast.♒️ So yeah- this subject needs humanity's attention NOW _-_-_- not 10 years from now😮
The prevalence of Lyme Disease is increasing exponentially.
*@**6:12** - the way he speaks "is too late MAAAAN" like junky about Climate Change - for $10 he would say he talk with Jesus himself*
This was a joke right? Parody of science? Bro it’s gonna be super scary!
You think they know a lot, yet we know they don't know enough what they want to know.....OCEAN 0.00001%....SPACE 0.100,00M% no clue
Humans deserve this
We have destroyed jubgles, forests
Animal's homes
Species going extinct due to poaching, pleasure hunting, superstitions .
We deserve this
EVIL
This video is so unprofessional lol
why?
When will bbc stop making propaganda documentaries.
The guy from south America, what a joke. I know chikungunya, I've had it and it doesn't do what he says.
Absolutely nonsense.
Ice isn't real.
Of course it is just go to McDonald’s or look in your freezer
don’t worry folks! WWIII is coming so we will be dead anyway😢
