Fires, floods and extreme weather: who is really paying for the climate crisis?

Australia wildfires, flash floods in New York, heatwaves in Europe, drought across the Horn of Africa - the extreme weather events continue to intensify.
But who is really paying for the climate crisis? The world’s leading climate scientists have released the IPCC report, focusing on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerabilities. It shows yet again, that the climate crisis is felt everywhere but not equally. And it raises questions about how we deal with climate impacts, especially for those most affected. Let’s talk about it!

What we weren’t able to cover but is really interesting:
Progress on Loss and Damage at COP27 should involve supporting the establishment of a financing facility to provide financial assistance particularly amongst vulnerable communities already reeling from devastating climate impacts. Philanthropic organisations have already offered initial funds to support this initiative, and governments from richer nations now need to contribute. The financing facility should not draw funds from Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM), which would just allow polluters to keep polluting and not keep the focus on countries who have the most responsibility for emissions paying their fair share. Other means of finance should be considered, like special drawing rights to cancel debt and support climate vulnerable countries to redirect funds towards climate adaptation and resilience.

Really informative! Great video!

Been reading a lot about the IPCC report, this is really well explained, thanks.

This video was posted one year ago; and so few comments for it?.. Many of these problems could have been anticipated decades ago. Some people did, indeed, sound alarms. But the 'men and women on the street' had more important(?) things to attend to. Today, those who deliberately limit their rhetoric to 'carbon emissions', industrial polluters, extractive industries, etc., should understand that they are not the heroes that some of us look up to. Let us know when you have the courage to be critical of HUMAN PROCREATION, among countless other forms of human harm to our planet. (Of course, in the meantime, we will continue to work alongside you, and 'carry water' for your campaigns. But we fully understand the compromises that you are making (intentionally or otherwise)). We hear sad news about Kenya in this video (and elsewhere). I would like to know about Kenyans who are alarmed about their conationals who keep bringing babies into their country. "Far be it from us to contemplate COERCIVE BIRTH CONTROL measures! That would be tantamount to genocide, right?! That would be like 'playing God', right?! Better watch our neighbors die of thirst. That is definitely more humane. Besides, we want our governments to push the redundant young men to death in armed conflicts." "Why should they? It is easier to wage wars. And wars devour lives! Keep those babies coming! We know how to bury them --or cremate them, or dump bodies into mass graves! (What we can't bring ourselves to do is sterilize people.)" [Again, the words in quotes are not meant to be taken at face value.]
