- How many millions of people will be forced to leave their homes by 2050? This documentary looks at the so-called hotspots of climate change in the Sahel zone, Indonesia and the Russian Tundra.
Lake Chad in the Sahel zone has already shrunk by 90 percent since the 1960s due to the increasing heat. About 40 million people will be forced to migrate to places where there is enough rainfall. Migration has always existed as a strategy to adapt to a changing environment. But the number of those forced to migrate solely because of climate change has increased dramatically since the 1990s. It is a double injustice: after becoming rich at the expense of the rest of the world, the industrialized countries are now polluting the atmosphere with their emissions and bringing a second misfortune to the inhabitants of the poorer regions. One of them is Mohammed Ibrahim: as Lake Chad got hotter and drier, he decided to go where the temperatures were less extreme and there was still a little water, trekking with his wife, children and 70 camels from Niger to Chad and then further south. The journey lasted several years and many members of his herd died of thirst. Now he and his family are living in a refugee camp: they only have seven camels left. Mohammed is one of many who have left their homelands in the Sahel - not because of conflict and crises, but because of the high temperatures. He's a real climate refugee.

We've known about this stuff for decades, but nobody wanted to make enough effort to stop it.
Know specifically who $crews-us-over and stands
in who's way by watching 'Were Running Out of Water'
and 'Unions and Strikes are Good' by "Some More News".
Nobody puts for the effort until there is a catastrophe. It's coming, just you wait.

What happens in Zimbabwe, India, Pakistan, Bolivia, Syria, Kenya, and 50 other countries does not stay in just those countries. It is a global issue that will effect all human dwellers on Earth. Our habitats are disappearing rapidly, without which no animal can survive, including Humans.
Excellent point, Mark Young, the world is like a ship, if some of the crew are not fed and have no water, the whole thing is threatened. We need to cooperate and share resources to survive the great trials ahead. We cannot afford to have nations fail. I recently listened to a new teaching called "Preventing Collapse and the Wars of Desperation" (free online, part of the New Message dot org) that contains much wisdom in this regard.
The world is getting better thanks to western civilization, capitalism, it’s solutions and you people are clueless of history and reality. This “documentary” doesn’t help either.
@@C_R_O_M________ I agree we are living in the best of times, facing the worst of times. The question remains can we live without a habitat.
Mark , Some of us have been saying for over 40 years to slow populations down , the world government tried to educate people in the 1950s . but those in undeveloped countries wouldn't listen - when cultural and religious believes are stronger then reality . you would have to change that to improve , can you see that happening ?? So developed countries did reduce , now we get inundated by the overpopulated , can you see the irony in that ?
You mean bad weather?😅
Watching this a year after the airing and now Siberia is burning, also larger parts of USA, Africa and Brazil.
I don't think it's going to take 30 years it's already happening.
Don't worry, the politicians will be dropping 5 megaton nuclear warheads on your cities well before the global temperature varies by more then a degree. FYI the local temperature will rise in your town from 70 degrees F to 50 million degrees F in a millisecond.
Now that's a "climate crisis" we can actually count on, not like the socialist's favorite fraud that the pols are currently using to brainwash the idiots. It's far too easy for them since there is almost nothing to wash.

@@brucefrykman8295 such an idiotic statement!
@@odinson43 Any more idiotic than "the climate crisis" I'd be ashamed to be so gullible. This is all about separating the lame-brained, the superstitious, the malleable, the dis-educated, the weak-willed, the totally indoctrinated from their liberty and their cash (if they ever had the mettle to acquire any) The billionaires in corporate monopolies and their bought politicians are rubbing their greasy palms over your stupidity.
"Climate" isn't even a scientific term and the tell is that there are no metrics for "climate." This means that It cannot be measured any more than "a lot" or "a little" can. Climate is purposely vague. The desert has a hot dry climate or the rain forest has a warm moist climate are useful phrases. The climate is "changing" is hogwash. There is no such thing as "the climate" anymore than there is "the opinion" Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, likewise their climates. "The" opinion is changing? WTF? The "opinion crisis?" How many climates exist? How many are changing? How many are getting "better" how many "worse?"
When does a climate period begin? when does it end? How long is a period? How many climate periods are their in 100 years, 1000 years a million years? How many are changing one direction and how many are changing in the opposite direction? How many have no discernible change? How can it be measured. How many points does a hailstorm get? How many points does a pleasant warm sunny day get? Which is better: colder or warmer? Wetter,or drier? Are storms good or bad?
The formula is embarrassingly simple and fit only for simple minds: If misfortune befalls anyone its the naughty climate that's at fault. If you are assaulted by gang-banging "teens" its all on account of "the climate crisis"

I lived in Jakarta '93-'97 and can sincerely say that they, and people in all South East Asian countries, are some of the friendliest in the world. I've traveled in all these countries and worked in 5 of them.
On my 2nd day in Jakarta, I was asked to put into good English, a document which was to be read at some International event. The gist of it was that the Dayak people of Kalimantan were to be labelled "forest squatters" and were to be evicted. It was so that Bob Hassan, the biggest logger in Indonesia could cut the whole place down. This explains the mudslides and probably much more.
Love to all peoples in my beloved Indonesia.

I lived in Bali and worked for my Airline in Indonesia - I fear for the lives of my sons and grand kids - Where once there seemed to be a global consensus it's now obvious it's every man, woman and child for themselves - We humans in our arrogance believe we are "the chosen ones" and one of 2000 or more Gods will save us exclusively - Tell it to the dinosaurs.

I'm 59 years old and I don't have any kids.But I have concerns for all the young people of the world and future generations.
As a geography teacher in a High School in Mexico, i use this documentary to show my students How climate change is actually affecting us now, and that we have to act, fisrt because of empathy for the rest of the world, but also because what they see here it could be us or our sons and daugthers in the future.

The United Nation's IPCC is staging marketing when it states human caused greenhouse gases are causing global warming. The the back of the 200 page IPCC science report it tells the truth as a legal back stop that it only took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude and only that one altitude! It is high school science that all greenhouse radiant energy is completely absorbed by greenhouse gases by 20 meters from the radiating surface, typically earth's surface. This is same type of making that takes place when a beverage is labeled "All Natural Fruit Flavors" then it tells the truth in the ingredient "contains no actual fruit juices". Global warming has been stalled at bout 1°C since 1991 with no correlation with carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Make sure you don't mislead your students by the IPCC marketing.

No that is not what I am saying, what I am saying is the medical science should not be helping self destructive behavior whether it involves sawing off a penis or blowing off your head. Odd how we used to condemn genital mutilation as feminist cause as practiced in Africa and the middle east but now it is Avante Gaurd among the mad Democrats.
Gender and Sex are two words for the same thing as it pertains to the human body (not gendered language)
1) grammar ......
2) SEX.
I keep an unabridged Random House dictionary since it cannot be modified by the language manipulators (eg taxation is now "investing")
So you see one cannot change their sex and that means they cannot change their "gender" since they are the same. Therefore gender "reassignment" is not possible and anyone who suggests otherwise is either a brainwashed fool or a Democrat
You see how easy it was to determine you are card carrying member of the insane Democrats?
So now anyone who proposes smaller less intrusive government is described as a fascist by the language manipulators ? Please explain how Trump is just Like Mussolini and Hitler politically.
@@brucefrykman8295 You realize Mussolini and Hitler were both extremely anti gay and said the same nonsense you are saying now right?But who cares if another person is “cutting their penis” when THE WORLD IS WARMING AND THE RICH WILL BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THE MAJORITY OF ITS CONSEQUENCES WHILE YOU AND ME WILL BE DEVASTED BY IT YOU FOOL!This is what they do,they scapegoat regular people to make you not realize that the elite are screwing you over every day,you enemies are not poor people in your country or poor people abroad but rich elites in your own country!

"You can write any apocalyptic scenario you like and probably most of them will come true."

Government are not in the business of truth, they're managing society. Truthful or otherwise, makes little difference to them. A few fears drive government, fear of chaos, not being able to provide, not being able please, and losing (their) power.

I’m mystified how many people never get out and see that these documentaries are full of lies.

Continued lockdown, I guess... I'm not sure tbh. I'm just used to being home now. But I guess we're still under some sort of (useless) phase system.
Elect young people to lead nations, they have a vested interest! I'm already in my 50's and know it is the next generation that will really pay for this stupidity. Do you really think people in their 70's care about the planet's future the same as someone in their 30's does?
If climate change is actually real? But the young generation have been brain washed with it.
Was called global warming back in 1800's and many other times through history. In the 80's was still global warming but after 18 years where it actually fell 0.2 degrees they changed to climate change. Then Nasa changed its data so they could show a rise. Then somehow many others changed the old data to show a rise. Australia just did it 2 weeks ago until then you would see just natural fluctuations.
Apparently all the old thermometers weren't accurate which is strange since they were used to get a lot of our science knowledge we have today.
I do believe there is climate change. We have cut forests down. We have used most of the ground water basin and put it in the atmosphere.Co2 isn't an issue until recent changes to the ice core samples data it showed Co2 at 1400 in history while there was living mammals.

I am surprised by the volume of hostile comments here. Whether or not you accept that humans have accelerated climate change, many once arable areas are becoming arid, ocean levels are rising, underground aquifers are shrinking, which in turn causes land to subside/flood, more permafrost is melting, and worldwide fish stock are shrinking. This DOES increase forced migration. At home here, the flood of Honduran families recently appearing at the U.S. border was largely caused by drought.
Hmmm.....the approaching meteor storm due to the broken apart cosmic body has affected Earth in many of its passages. It is strange that science fails to inform us of the weather and climate changes due to this meteorite storm. Rising seas are most probably a consequence of this cosmic catastrophes altho science has yet to connect the two. Is our sun weakening? Is our magnetic shield failing? Is this due to a more energized part of space we have traveled into in our orbital path?

45 years ago, when we had shortages here in the US, sugar, meat, fuel, due to poor management and greed, I decided to have only one child. Today, we are prosperous, live near two eastern reservoirs in Georgia, and have a sincere love of life. These people should consider that movement is a natural cycle of life and family size is an anchor that cannot be shed once you have it.
You should be childless. The poorest socialist countries cant afford your luxury of just one child - they need a dozen or more just to survive.
Most countries don't have a retirement system - they have children to support them when they can no longer work. They also can't afford to live on one or two incomes, so multiple children means multiple people to go earn money or help the family business. Many people around the world also do not have the luxury of birth control or even knowledge of the natural ways to avoid it. The choice to not have children is a luxury itself.

*RE: "Well do you understand the political shock on Europe when 1,000,000 Syrians where knocking on the door."*
The unarmed people of Syria were and are escaping armies of people who have arms and have an agenda that unarmed people will never accept. The is "political change" not "climate change"
When did "climate" and not our seedy politicians become a cause of war. Was Hitler fleeing "climate change" when he invaded Poland?
What, if if not pseudoscience, would ascribe every negative human experience from minor annoyance to the political calamity of war to too much human freedom?
RE: *"Imagine Bangladesh a country almost intirety[sic] under sea level with 164,7 million inhabitants have to flee to higher ground."*
That would require quite a vivid imagination of the kind that the documentary movie "Mars Attacks" provoked.
Sea level is a local phenomenon that is primarily governed by plate tectonics, continental rebound, wind and water erosion, land subsidence caused by pumping subsurface water for agriculture, industrial, and commercial use. The Island nation of Tuvalu was suppose to have disappeared beneath the waves by now according to "experts" (Ex-Spurts). Instead it has grown in size. WTF?
"Global" sea level rise is largely a fraud, although it is safe to assume that the seas did rise some 400 feet as the 2 mile thick continental glaciers covering half of North America and Eurasia disappeared starting 15,000 years ago.
You can buy a 1/4 acre lot right at sea level for over a million dollars on the Florida Keys. Obama did much the same on Martha's Vineyard. Do you really thinks he believes the same bullshit his crowd is serving up to all those gullible fools who suck it up like mother's milk ?
The sad thing about all this is that eventually there will be nowhere to run to. And it's going to get worse.
Yes its going to get far worse but not for the reason you think. We have left the age of reason and entered the age of bullshit. The internet is polluting our minds by spewing 100% bullshit from sea to shinning sea.

I live in the Philippines. Climate change have already took evident impacts in our agriculture. Farmers are having difficulty growing their crops. It is no longer the same season were used to before. It would be harder for us to grow trees because climare change already changed the environment. We experience hotter summers, heavy rains even if there is no typhoon. planting tree alone cannot change this my friend. We are all contributors to this with our carbon footprints.
@@kaluludhianvi yes, the population growth rate. More people, more carbon footprint, more economical demands (food, water, housing, clothing, everything) when businesses see demands, they supply or sometimes oversupply. There is this financial app we use which will plant a tree under your name. So far, this app have planted three trees under my name. Hoping that what they claim is true, it makes me feel a part of planting new trees here in the Philippines. As for population growth rate, here in our country, it is a divided topic. Most of our people are catholics, their beliefs are not in line with controlling the population growth rate. Abortion is illegal here. Contraceptives are available but it's just in the recent years when most of our people learned to use it. In our country, the cause of population growth is lack of knowledge with family planning, second is financial to support family planning.

Less than a minute in and I feel it necessary to state the obvious that many impoverished countries might have stood a much better chance with greater prosperity if they had been able to utilise cheap energy, and had not been crippled with carbon taxes with the intended purpose of keeping them more easily exploitable by foreign governments and corporations
Oh its changed to "carbon tax" now has it ? Is that on top of the "brutal Diktater" tax ?
Foreign oppressive western governments like the U.S.
yes, we are just beginning to feel the bite of these taxes, which affect everything from the seed that goes into the ground to the refrigeration and cooking of the final product - and we have the finance people cooperating just as the science people did, "oh, it is a transitory inflation," they claim - no, those are added costs at every step btw carbon credits are even worse than taxes because they are almost as arbitrary as fiat currency - and much more difficult to track and regulate apparently, they show up in Panama, Paradise, Panorama Papers if the ICIJ was honest about it
Yep... The climate isn't the problem, it's the lying hucksters in charge that are the real problem.
Some foreign corporations are in these countries exploiting their natural resources until depleted. These should be paying a carbon tax. Not the poorly managed and under-funded countries who have more problems to solve than they have money to address them with. Regenerative Agriculture is badly needed in the deserted Sahel. Herders have over-graized these lands for generations, and monoculture that we pushed on these farmers has sped up the soil depletion there. If the country can begin to rewild lands deserted by their owners, perhaps the demise of these places can be turned around, but we must hurry. As do long as our fossil fuel use climbs no strategy will be sufficient to turn away the worst effects of climate change there, nor anywhere. The difficulties are mounting every year!
it's sad to see what is happening to the climate and earth because of human activities. i hope that we can all become more responsible. thank you for the helpful video.

Water is both man’s friend and his enemy.
There won't be 2050, it will be a couple of decades sooner if even that.

Although a compeling argument, and physical realities are truly being experienced- why doesnt even 1 of these climate docu dramas ever site the real science? Not 1 ever sites the sea bed and polar ice cap "CORE " samples. Which show irrefutabley climate change is cyclical and were near exactly where we should be minus an increase carbon emmission that will only LENGTHEN the time of the next ice age not prevent it.
2nd no one is talking about meteorlogical warfare weapons or the global HAARP grid. No one quotes any of the science from the numerous credible studies or credible journal which indicated weather modification and mental disruption as biproducts of using this tech- also was the base argument for funding of HAARP nearly 2 decades before funding in 2001. The same time most climate scientists quote as proof for cataclysmic weather phenomenon. 3rd. Why not remind everyone that those current "MODELS" for mans influence in climate change absolutely did not work using factual historical records. In fact climate scientists took the historical record and allowed themselves to make "ADJUSTMENTS" / making numbers up in order to prove predictive models right.
4th- the whole scientific comunity of archeologists geologists who show in the roc record numerous instances of near drout and ice ages throughout earths history.
They bought an aquifer West of Phoenix to bottle and sell.

Climate change is not solely to blame. Big industry plays a huge part in how we do or don't survive it.

lived in interior Alaska 20 years, family is Koyukon Athabascan there, thanks you for this.
The first I became aware of contemporary climate change was in the late 70s when I read about grave markers of early Alaskan settlers tipping over because they’d originally been embedded in the permafrost but that this was melting.

Chapter 7 contains Jefferson's observations on the climate of Virginia, including local warming:- the year 1801
"A change in our climate however is taking place very sensibly. Both heats and colds are become much more moderate within the memory even of the middle-aged. Snows are less frequent and less deep. They do not often lie, below the mountains, more than one, two, or three days, and very rarely a week. They are remembered to have been formerly frequent, deep, and of long continuance. The elderly inform me the earth used to be covered with snow about three months in every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do so now. This change has produced an unfortunate fluctuation between heat and cold, in the spring of the year, which is very fatal to fruits. From the year 1741 to 1769, an interval of twenty-eight years, there was no instance of fruit killed by the frost in the neighbourhood of Monticello. An intense cold, produced by constant snows, kept the buds locked up till the sun could obtain, in the spring of the year, so fixed an ascendency as to dissolve those snows, and protect the buds, during their developement, from every danger of returning cold. The accumulated snows of the winter remaining to be dissolved all together in the spring, produced those overflowings of our rivers, so frequent then, and so rare now."
In 1816 winters had become so cold snow never melted one summer, and remained harsh and cold until 1850, when warming began.

DW consistently produces good quality documentaries. Thank you, DW! What is needed now is a general understanding of our inherent and intrinsic unity as a human family.

The only way we are really going to be saved--and save this beautiful planet!
What human family?
There is a new one comes, this planet will pass away.
You misunderstand humanity. We are intrinsically tribal, selfish, violent, xenophobic killer apes. This is who we have been for a hundred thousand years : competing clans. Us and them. ALWAYS.

So, u guys did your exhaustive research about climate change and missed the drought in Spain... Or was this supposed to focus only on how it affects Africa and South East Asia??
BTW Spanish farmers who can't afford greenhouse agriculture are fleeing to neighbouring countries to start new lives because of this, they need to hv their voices heard as well. 🙏🏾
The title was "fleeing climate change" - people who are very poor and desperate. Spain has been drying out for quite some time now - most likely the process has been accelerated by the recent climate changes, but this is a long-term trend.
well, next time maybe they will make a six hour show so as to leave no one out
altareggo Spain has been drying out? Sources? Greece, where I live, saw this year, one of the rainiest summer seasons I can remember (and I am nearly 50). Spain’s climate is quite similar to Greece’s, mild Mediterranean.
I was shocked to learn recently that Spain is fast turning desert like the Sahara, and nothing is being done to check the desertification. Look for videos in CZcams. Do not wing it.
@@bircruz555 Have seen videos of housing developments that include water slides, a number of swimming pools, etc, and yes, no one is doing anything, my bet is that palms are being greased so that the water is allowed to be brought from agricultural regions. There are a couple of good videos out there outlining this in detail. And the farmers showing dried river beds, rivers that ran before they took the water to take to these developments, houses there are for the rich only, no one builds houses for the low income or even middle income people. We all know who are the owners of these developments.
Tree planting is a necessary, NOT logging and cutting everything down. Using intelligence in building is essential without wood being the main ingredient for structure.

I remember learning this at school in the early 90s and scientists already predicted that and nothing has been done.... Rather, more actions against the environment have been taken instead of trying to reverse the effects
The world has already ended just as they predicted. It ended in 2012 and you are only a residual -dream- nightmare now.
I believe the areas like in Africa can not support the people anymore due to growth in population. Traditionally dry areas can only support so much people.
You are partially right. The issue however is that the supportable population is decreasing. If an important river used for getting water suddenly dries up, that is a problem. In other words, the areas are getting even drier.
Jakarta is sinking because they pumped out ground water and sunk the land like mid calfionia not sea rising
And don't forget the sharp sand, they suck that out off the sea bottom near the Indonesian islands for building materials elsewhere (such as Dubai)
You can't see that it is BOTH?
Dont worry.not like californians commie. Indonesians are fighters.nature disasters all is just our playground😂

Have ecologists considered importing plant species into the melting tundra that would consume the dying organic matter like fertilizer? Nature likely would do this herself, but it would take a long time and much of the organic material would break down into gases in the mean time.
Bringing non-native species could create a new ecological problem. Look at the pythons in Florida, wild pigs in the Southern US, and snakes in Hawaii. All of those were brought in for benign reasons and they've become disasters. Finding a native plant that they can propagate and plant to help control the spread would be better, but the tundra will still continue to melt.

Maybe start questioning things a little bit more and study all perspectives before behaving as a lazy person who will just take everything for granted.
Walls don't work. Grow more forests of trees that adjust well with that tropical weather. Have harsh accountability laws for corporations that benefits from deforestation.
Plant trees. Save water from running off by building dams to keep it for human and animal use. Rebuild. Don't leave. It's the same everywhere.

Everything that's happening right now is natural and NOT due to CO2. From 1945 to the late 1970's atmospheric CO2 shot up like a rocket while temps fell for over 3 decades, therefore CO2 does not "drive the climate." CAGW debunked.

No heed, greed, greed, greed.
Paul Meyer you got that right! Greed for power and money from people that can’t even run successfully a small retail store. We call them politicians.
If we want to effectively tackle these problems, what we need is to focus only on measures that have a real impact
1) distance tax: a tax that increases the longer the goods are shipped or transported- this incentivizes a local economy and stops the mess of goods running around the world for no reason.
2) female education- the more educated the less children they will have, as overpopulation is a huge problem
3) tackle income inequality- tax the super wealthy and the multinationals, make them pay the right share, no more tax avoidance or producing in countries with lower regulations. Big companies need the most resources and make up the biggest polluters, so local and smaller is better.
4) universal basic income so people dont have "to make a living" at any cost and follow their passions- no damaging, stupid or unnecessary work
5) make hemp biodiesel (and other biodiesels) make up 30% of all fuel compulsory in the economy and make investments. Tackle food waste and make it maximal 5% of all produced. Go towards 0% fossil fuels with improved technology. Swap most plastics for hemp-derived materials
6) sustainability index- make an index of the worst environmental offender-practices. Ban those that are not needed and bring within limits those that can be made sustainable. Use taxes to incentivize/disincentivize
7) go towards a bio-adapted infrastructure such as passages for the wild under highways and so forth. Go back to natural farming, drop all intensive farming, is healthier anyway. Decrease production of animal products. Abandon chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, all not sustainable.
8) we need a working UN back in some form, to protect areas such as the amazonas and other strategically important parts of the world for the ecology. Besides that we need first nation countries to invest in countries that are lagging behind, as the investment would yield much greater results. This is a global challenge.
9) drop all the measures that wont make any difference and accept that we cant control it 100% at this point. Maybe there are some benefits in a warmer climate too.

"You can write any apocalyptic scenario you want and it probably will come true."
This is so depressing. I fear humanity probably won´t survive this.
Dont be pesimist
Just by looking at how people are, you don't need a holly book to predict that
for the flooded you need to play a TON of trees
for the dryness you need succulents/dry crops to grab moisture out of the air so it transfers into the soil
as for the melting ice.. I don't know but the fossils are super interesting
Sometimes i think man wants this world to die. Cause we know how to solve most of these, if not all of these problems.
For the melting ice, we can't stop it but we can slow it down. Remember everyone, were also going thru a solar cycle, which changes the earth behavior. We need to capture the melting ice water an use it. Which is another topic; to pump water from flood areas to dry area's. We pump oil long distance so why cant we do the same with water.
What they don't tell you this has happened in Earth's history before. Some islands that were great couple thousand years ago are now underwater. The planet has Historically gone through very hot and cold periods. It's science. This happens with no human intervention.
What you ignore is the rate of change. If you look at a graph of temperature or CO2 over the last few thousand years, there is a massive upward spike as the industrial revolution kicked off.

Stop blaming corporations and industries, they are *NOT* burning fossil fuel for the sake of burning fuel. They burn fuel as energy source *to manufacture all the products that we consume everyday.* You want them to stop? Here's how: Stop buying their products and services.
But I can't live without their cheap mass production products, and I doubt you can either. Can you make your own soap, or shampoo, or weave your own clothing, or manufacture your own drugs, or even as simple as grow your own food? I doubt it. We can't even produce our basic necessity, let alone building our own smartphone, TV, or car.
We are *addicted* to fossil fuel, it is what makes our lifestyle possible. There's no way out of this unless we are all suddenly got tired of modern living standard and want to go back to a simpler life before industrial revolution, it's almost our fate to continue on and go through climate change.
