- In the last 30 years, CO2 emissions have increased by 60 percent worldwide. The most pressing problem facing our civilization is global warming. What solutions could there be? This documentary accompanies activists in their efforts to combat climate change.
According to scientists, if by the year 2100 the global temperature has risen more than 1.5 degrees Celsius on levels recorded in the year 1850, the consequences could be devastating for people and the environment. But will we manage to achieve this ambitious goal? Around the world, politicians, companies, laboratories and universities are struggling to find solutions.
The film team visits climate rescuers in Sudan, Indonesia and Europe. Their inventive spirit cools buildings, connects countries with green electricity lines or sucks carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Their work helps determine the living conditions of generations to come.
Every time the women of Shagra plant an acacia seedling in the sand of Darfur, it is an occasion of great joy in the Sudanese village. The tree will drive its roots 100 meters into the ground and be better able to withstand the droughts in the Sahel than most other plants. It will secrete gum sap when women scratch the bark after a few years. The sale of gum arabic will alleviate poverty in the village.
65,000 acacias are already growing in Darfur: a blessing for the bitterly poor region, as well as a carbon dioxide reservoir that can help limit global warming.

Rich don’t suffer from climate change as much as Poor.
That’s how it’s supposed to be
That's why we must fight this injustice.
Nature doesn't care are you rich or poor. We all go to the same place when it comes to the death. The same is with dying. If there is no cure, there is no cure. You might have trillions of dollars, or average salary.
@@ralf4kThey won't be rich for long because it's the end of capitalism as well.

I am from Nepal. But I grew up in Sikkim. I grew up playing swimming in the natural spring and small creeks in North Sikkim, India. But due to the increase in population, cutting trees for wooden timber & wooden plank for building concrete houses, etc, I have seen natural springs and creeks banished from my place in Sikkim. I didn’t know about global warming and I had never been taught in detail about global warming in my school until class ‘lX’. And I was from a poor family, we did not have TV or Channel Disc to watch National Geography, Discovery Channel, or mobile phones to watch Global Warming CZcams videos.
Luckily because of Internet and CZcamss Documentaries & Videos about Global Warming & climate change, I came to know how important the issue of Global warming is. After reading some news articles, documentaries, and videos I have realized that the main problem of global warming is due to 4 reasons:
1. Increasing numbers of the population.
2. Increasing number of skyscrapers and buildings.
3. Increasing in number of vehicles.
4. Cutting of trees.
Additional: the dirtiest, stupid, and idiotic trend & belief in some parts of the world thinking that ‘if you have more children you are wealthy’
Yes but meat eating habits are the main reason for climate change. Be vegan🌷🥒
Here in the UK the poor people have the most children at the expense of the taxpayer
@@assymcgee7217 Wouldn't it be better to grow the population this way, or do you think importing people is better?
@@tomnicholson2115Yes I'd prefer the population increase to happen domestically , I wouldn't import at all unless the skills on offer were in some way desirable or necessary.
@@assymcgee7217 Well those poor people having more children on tax payers money is the way to go then, because low paid workers can't afford homes, utilities, travel expenses 'and' children on poor wages. My dad was able to support 7 children and a wife on one wage, these days one single wage (for lower paid workers) can barely afford accomodation never mind the rest. We've been priced out of family life in the UK and the government is concerned were not having enough kids, when they and big business caused the problem in the first place.
I was planning to sell up and relocate to the Portuguese or Spanish South Coast in a few years. After this summers heatwave I fear for the lack of fresh water that will be available and whether much of that region will be habitable. It’s making me really depressed I have to say.
I will soon be gone, but my/ our children...what awaits really worries me 😮

The idea of a "global community" that we hear about in the media is just fancy talk. The truth is, it's all about countries and companies looking out for their own interests. We couldn't care less about the effects of CO2 and how it might harm people. Making profits is what really matters. Profits is also why solar energy can't compete against the interests of the Aramcos. It is dirt cheap and good for the environment but the problem is it doesn't bring in much profit.
Couldn't agree more!
And who are those customers contributing to these profits ? humans of course. control birth rate and depopulate the earth is the only way now.
You said it well. Profits. It explains why Overpopulation isn't presented as a problem that needs a solution.
It would be very good for the environment and for the quality of life if only we encouraged people to have fewer kids or no kiss so that our population naturally can drop...
But if we did, the rich wouldn't get more richer. For that reason we're promoting all solutions except the one solution that would help... To have fewer of ourselves. Fewer humans means less pollution and a Better planet would be here but it's not good for business

This documentary should go viral. United Nations should promote it aggressively.
Unfortunately , no concrete measures are being taken by major Nations, especially politicians who are ignorant and callous about this serious issue.
With this worsening climate issues now viruses may emerge killing mass populations around the world.
You should have covered plastic pollution as well. Had ithe production of plastic be stymied 50 years ago, lakes rivers oceans would have been much less polluted.
Thank you so much for eye-opening documentary 👍

@@NzePriddie "are you implying Capitalism needs to end ?": You are asking the wrong question. Capitalism is going to come to an end, whether you like it or not. It is a system dependent upon infinite growth, but we live on a finite planet in a finite solar system with finite resources. It is unsustainable and every handful of years we have yet another massive crash.
@@grip2617 "Thanks to capitalism we are still developping.": It's "developing" and no: We are stagnating and in many places even regressing thanks to capitalism. Open your eyes! Everything is continuously getting more expensive and costs rise except for our paychecks. Those are the only thing not tied to inflation and every handful of years we lose the worth of our money thanks to the endless amounts of crashes caused by capitalists.
Good luck getting people to unite & work together,it sure looks like the opposite these days !!😶
I believe most people are good. I also think most humans feel good about being part of something, helping others, and achieving positive goals.
Unfortunately, there are major headwinds stopping this. Firstly, our media twists people's opinions of others. This makes everyone project their issues on others and think the worst of them.
Secondly, those in power tend to be there for self-interest and have sociopathic tendencies.
I think the people are ready. They would come together and feel good about it.

I heard that in new Zealand there is a lot "carbon farming" going on.

@@Kiwi-ICU-RN I saw a documentary about a farmer/guy who has planted a lot of trees and got almost a million euros every year which sounds very good to me.

A million every year can open a lot of doors✌️🌍🛠️🍚🍌🙏
You have to see “Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth)”. Another outstanding watch filled with Nobel Prize winners, MIT and Harvard scientists, physicists and professors with tremendous irrefutable current and historical data that any child could understand about climate change propaganda and the false data pushed by political propagandists and the unfortunate misinformed and brainwashed. Children deserve better from us. Learn the truth and stop psychologically harming them. Let them grow up free and happy.
It is so very painful for me to see what we are doing to nearly every single species of wild animal and the habitat they depend on for survival. And at the same time it's shocking to see our apparent complete lack of concern for what we are doing. It really leads me to wonder if we actually think we can continue as we are without the changes affecting us, or if we know exactly what we're doing but just do not care as long as the money is still rolling in. I'm afraid that those of us who are in positions of power are in the later category. And in that case the name of the video instead of "A-verting Catastrophe" should have been "A Coming Catastrophe".
Yes, we know that C02 is a green house gas as is methane. However, the paleoclimatologists have NOT attributed the numerous rise and fall of earth's average global temperature to C02 and methane levels. If you look at earth's historical temperature cycle over the past 570 million years you will see numerous periods of when the earth's temperature rose with C02 levels remaining LOW whereas at other times the temperature remained 3-6 degrees celcius WARMER than present times with continuously falliing C02 levels. In essence, the historical data and facts are being manipulated by power mongers to gain more wealth by advocating global catastophe to the masses, and, making a profit from their activity while gaining more power. For example, why is Al Gore now worth approximately $300,000,000? By becoming a Climate Alarmist!!!! And goverment bureaucrats are seeing that they can maybe gain more power and wealth too by advocating Climate Alarmism.
You know what pains me the people pushing this green agenda this climate change Cult are just getting more rich more rich and more rich by the day more money in their pockets from me and you the taxpayer
There is no climate catastrophe. CO2 is not a pollutant. They are all lying in order to control us. They always say to plant trees, plant trees, plant trees… they take the CO2 out of the atmosphere.
How much CO2 does each tree absorb?
If you Google it, that number is 48lbs of CO2 per tree, per year, but some climate catastrophe zealots say only 29lbs per tree are all that are effective.
Let’s use their low numbers.
There are an estimated 3.4 Trillion trees on the planet. Google it.
** 29lbs x 3.4 Trillion = 98 Trillion lbs / 2000lbs (1 ton) = 49 Billion Tons of CO2 absorption per year from trees alone.
How much CO2 do humans emit from all sources.
According to Google, humans emit 37 Billion Tons of CO2 per year from all sources.
You do the math. It’s all a hoax. Net Zero is nonsense.
What does Net Zero mean?
What’s the goal?
How low do they want the emissions?
If we emit 37 Billion Tons of CO2 and the trees alone absorb 48 Billion Tons…
we’re already past Net Zero.
We’re in the negative. That’s just the trees, don’t forget everything else that absorbs C02…Don’t fall for this nonsense.
It’s all about power, money and control. DO NOT COMPLY!
The movie here does not show our mass extinction event at all, it is very down playing climate change , you got no Idea the Catastrophe is already here and it is deadly and very perverted extinct everything.
It is painful to see to the 80 billion of land animals and trillions of fish every year. We directly kill them. Maybe you can watch Dominion

As someone who cares for injured wildlife - everyone of you CAN make a small difference. Even if it’s filling containers of water and replenishing it every second day. At least birds and wildlife have access to water. Remember if we ALL just did something - anything, no matter how small, together we can make a difference.
Good one. The cheap bulk food at any box Store has nuts/dried etc. for birds squirrels. Would be fun to move to Chile, or Argentina, but would have to never see media again to avoid watching the slow pain.

Oil executives and politics are fighting exactly how tobacco used to. Even Slavery, colonial plantations.

How awesome is it that humanity started out as nomadic tribes and now thanks to global warming we will soon return to being a nomadic people 😊
Tree plantation can help us to perpetuate our climate from being worsted, we should be more aware of planting trees and saplings!
Every year there is a certain time comes when we can plant saplings and i think we should teach school students!!
That is all, folks! I know it, you know it that it is too late. Fortunately, Earth is not going anywhere! We are...
Aliens are laughing at us.
Yes, humans were not a sustainable species in the long run. Nothing surprising.
The ice age is still melting, the less ice left the faster it heats. We also need to focus on air quality and land restoration. We may have accelerated the global warming but it was accelerating itself anyhow. The best we can do now is to consume less, restore more land, change current mono crop farming techniques for permaculture farming across the planet. The problem is that there is little in the way of income in these fields of work. People are naturally competitive so it is not easy to expect people to become competitive in what they can do to fix what they have damaged because the entire reason they damaged it was to profit in the 1st place. People like the idea of doing something to repair the world but we tend to wait till after the problem has caused disaster and then we act, usually too late. Why do we have to wait till the event? Are we not intelligent enough to try to average out the curve of cycles such as these? Even if we were i highly doubt we could achieve what is needed to be done to make a big difference. However we should be trying harder. Personalty i don't have much faith in the people to do what is needed to make such an effort. I discuss similar scenarios in public and 95% of people are just not interested. We also need to consider the power of nationalism. All countries need to make this effort in unison so other countries do not take advantage of those that slow their economies to help the situation. Seriously! Is this ever going to become a reality? Not likely with current geopolitics and the way people behave. To minimise my impact i am happy to earn between €5k and €10k a year. Do you really think someone earning €500k a year is going to reduce their income to my level to contribute towards minimising their impact? FFS
Apparently they are happy to breath in silver iodide every day, a form of particle pollution in order to help make rain nowadays.
Not me, I prefer to wait until the actual evidence is here. Too many global doomologists misuse data to suit their needs and push their agenda. Gas and oil companies do just as much as the doomologists. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Fact is, usually when humans "act" before hand in efforts to "solve" a "problem" that doesn't yet exist, is that we tend to either be wrong about the problem and cause further harm trying to fix it, or we don't fully understand the problem and act the wrong way, wasting efforts for zero or negative results. As you said, man is likely incapable of figuring out how to fix a global problem, and by that same logic, man is so insignificant to the Earth's global climate that we likely have a minimal impact on what Mother Nature does. Sure we are releasing CO2 back into the atmosphere, but that very CO2 was once in the air initially, so we're not "adding" CO2 to the Earth, we are simply putting more back than would happen naturally. But who is to say that this is a problem in the first place? What if, 100 years from now, we find we don't have enough CO2 in the atmosphere and all plant life starts to die - if only we had studies all of the Earth's needs, not just our own desire to keep the climate the same and not have to adapt to the global cyclical changes that happen regardless of what we do, and if we had released more CO2 in the air for the last 100 years, we may have saved the planet... If that scenario does happen, how will you feel knowing you could be the one that doomed future generations because you were fighting the only solution that could have saved us? That might be a fantasy scenario, but you get the point - until we have complete studies that show ALL of the effects of everything that contributes to our climate change, we are simply pointing fingers at each other and saying "it's your fault because..." Nobody knows because nobody has done these studies. I've seen many studies that show small details of one specific thing, but none have tied them all together. Some say that the planet heats up BEFORE CO2 levels rise - if that's the case, then CO2 levels ARE rising naturally without man's input. The fact we are adding to it is a moot point - if it is part of the natural cycle, it is inevitable. We really can't stop CO2 emissions if man is only responsible for a small portion of what the planet belches out. You can't fight Mother Nature, you can only adapt. History shows many cities that had to be abandoned due to climate change, it is a natural event. Other places became inhabitable. Antarctica has forests under all that ice - at one point it was a nice place to live, and one day may become that way again - regardless of what we humans do. So live life to the fullest, do try to reduce, reuse and recycle - not because you will save the planet, but so that future generations can share in the treasures our planet has provided us with and have as good a life as we have.
Fine film! Except for one failing: electro-mechanical carbon dioxide capture and storage is way too expensive and the risks of the machinery and pipelines are too great.
Waste less energy by gradually converting to modern heating and cooling technology, building more compact and better insulated homes and businesses. Manufacture locally to reduce transportation energy cost - its not just the vehicle fuel - cement and asphalt are huge energy wasters for every lane we build.😊😊
“The situation is hopeless so we have to curb emissions.” But we know we can’t and it won’t work.
We don't have governments that can be trusted with power or wealth. I am not willing to increase the size of governments.
I do not doubt human ingenuity and that it is in our means to solve the problems we create before it is too late. However, corporation greed and a lack of worldwide cooperation in terms of revelant measures to combat climate change will affect the final outcome. This documentary mentions a few interesting but so isolated projects in a few European countries. Some main players are missing. We have the power to change things but will not because we are too divided and brainwashed by moguls who only care about their bank accounts. That is what's really sad.
I think we're going extinct. Humans are too corrupt and stupid.
For 30 years, seen people talking about technology that would help the climate crisis. None have become mainstream and can be seen everywhere. In 30 years, all these "ideas" will still be ideas and NO carbon will be saved!
Ts not CORPORATE GREED. Corporations are a vehicle that we use for development.thats it and we will have development.
that is not corporate greed, but the short-sighted "we are poor with no skills, so let's make 10 kids" mindset is the main culprit
@@codered4422 The very poor with their 4 kids have no decision power. And the 'no skills' part translates into ignorance when it comes to electing officials that are supposed to represent them. Not that it matters since government officials are indebted to industries that have no interest to address climate change. So yeah, ultimately corporations prevent measures that could help the environment.
the positive side of all this is, it will kill off all the corruption in this world also.
You mean everyone?

My spirit will be most amused to return to earth within the next 300 years to see New York City streets covered by the ocean.
To summarize: businesses’ and consumers’ greed, arrogance, and complete foolishness got us here. I am constantly blaming corporations, but if people's behaviors don’t change as well, nothing will change.
I had this reality check about 20 years ago... The only thing that changed is the speed at which we're heading for the wall.
The permafrost will all melt. It's not just the greenhouse effect anymore. It is also the metabolic waste heat generated by the microbes degrading the previously trapped matter. Compost heaps have been known to combust from this heat. It will most certainly be delivering a double whammy for permafrost melting. There are places already in the middle of vast sheets of permafrost, under lakes, where there are melted columns going down kilometers. It WILL all melt now.
The feedback loops have been activated.
Your comment will make me catching up about permafrost.
@@DG-ie5ip I have actually. It was 12 degrees Celsius that Christmas, which was unheard of for a place used to winter temperatures of around -12 to 7C.
@@Sq7Arno Temperatures have been some 15 degrees higher many times before and sea levels 150m higher before humans were even here. That cycle will likely repeat unless we become like gods and can actually control the climate and mother nature. I wouldn't bet on that and suspect we might only be able to slightly effect the speed of changes that will occur.
@@Sq7Arno Your comment is hidden or maybe you deleted it. As to caused by us isn't exactly settled science. Sure we are probably causing the climate heat up faster but how much is our effect and how much of it is due to normal cycle isn't clear. We are just getting out of an ice age, barely warming up on any longer time scale.
for climate change activists this is like a post mortem rather than a diagnosis
In upper Himalayan area of state of uttarakhand, every day solid looking rock face is flaking and falling on traffic ,killing many commuters. The binding force of subzero water in soil is vanning due to increase of temp of air
Plant more trees and shrubs and cover the bare soil with more plants. It will retain water and stop erosion!
Awesome documentary! Unfortunately, I don't have faith in humanity. We tend to destroy everything we touched.
Its not only that , its the fact that MONEY still RULES ALL.. In the end nothing will be left but bills blowing in the wind.
i have been around for 70 year ...........yes!!! mankind is the worst life from on the planet... nar lets make that the universe
Speak for yourself. not everyone is fooled by this "humans are bad" childish and simplistic propaganda and understand the sun is changing
Absolutely agree
The american consumerism has taken over the world completely, and the wealthy nations refuse to slow down and reduce their emissions :(
The part about Germany wind being comingled with Norway hydro is the type of thing we need to see more of. Call it pragmatic cooperation - sharing the load (and ideas) rather than each entity each doing it all on their own - that is very inefficient with a lot of redundancies.
Norway is ina fairly unique position and there is no telling if they will be able to rely on hydro power, exactly because of climate change. Going full renewable energy in the world or Europe alone is a fantasy. I'm really pessimistic about our future, even if we consider corporate and social resistance to the required change aside.
Efficiency increases energy demand and complexity. Our solutions are making things worse in the long run.
Whatever way you look at it no such thing as a free lunch.Even hydro power does enormous environmental damage with fish navigation,earthquake creation and sedimentation that make all dams only a short lived creature.We should try and escape the current renewable rabbit holes and look at a serious alternative similar to what the original Tesla was working on.Unlimited energy from the earths geomagnetic field and solar wind to tap.

I guess the ordinary people are going to pay the dire price in the end. Since politicians are not representing public but their own wealth, the responsible companies are rather distributing the burden than making up for their destruction in the ecosystem.

The society needs a drastic change from shift from luxury towards sustainability
Would this stop climate change? This is also very hard to do as it's almost impossible to convince people to give up the standard of living they're used to.
And even if you do, what repercussions will that have on society? Jobs? Resource distribution? Possible wars?
Obvious solution to me seems to be to let the scientists focus on ways to delay climate change while we(activists and politicians) focus on structuring society to deal with the inevitable effects of climate change i.e how we can adapt to it.
...western society, in particular ! what you have spread, coming back to all of us ! 🙏
The issue has nothing to do with luxury. Everyone deserves a good life. The issue is our economic model based on constant consumption and early obsolescence. It's a system that keeps people forever in need of buying stuff. That creates excess demand for energy and raw materials, which in turn pollute the environment. But none of this has anything to do with climate change. Climate change is another massive global propaganda effort to keep the sheep as sheep, making our lives more expensive, and again generating demand for new products. Climate change is a political and economic tool. The impact of human activity on global warming is far from being a scientific consensus, despite the propaganda to make it look so.
@@andre.1984 agreed. isn't this very greed of consumption at all costs related exactly to current environmental disaster?

Al gore said in his documentary that the polar ice would be melted by now... Fearmongering to make you pay carbon tax....
Every human being can do their part to turn this around. E.g., for the last 10 years I stopped buying any product containing Palm Oil. (Its even turning up in peanut butter at Walmart!)
Maybe that has helped save a hectare of rain forest in Borneo. Then, I stopped eating industrial pork, bacon, sausages, etc. I eat beef less than once a week, but am having trouble cutting back on dairy products.
It might be easier to hold back when I think about the thirsty cattle and pastureland in the Swiss Alps.
Of course, the wells have gone dry there. When you remove too much forest, the water table drops. The farmer there is blaming it entirely on lack of rainfall.
Everyone, young and old, think of what you can cut back on. One eye opener the last 2 years is the amount of waste in the "fast fashion" industry.

Hello DW documentary is it ok if I put your logo with full credits on my intro video on my channel for Climate Change I thought I would reach out to you about this and I feel like your channel would be a perfect opportunity to raise more awareness of Climate Change. If not that’s fine I just wanted to ask.
The concept of a 'global community' often mentioned in the media can seem like mere rhetoric. In reality, nations and corporations prioritize self-interest. Concern for the impact of CO2 on people often takes a back seat. Profit reigns supreme. This is also why solar energy struggles against the might of entities like Aramco. Despite being cost-effective and environmentally friendly, solar energy falls short on the profit scale
It's just ridiculous that so much water and energy is wasted just for artificially making snow, just because rich people think they are entitled to a ski holiday.

at this point i would say that painting your roof white right now is way more important than planting trees. the main reason to paint surfaces white is to reflect short wave solar radiation back to space as short wave radiation. this is to make up for the massive ice loss around the world right now. the cooling affect is not why you do it. lobbing state gov and council to ban dark roofing is also a good idea
Not?

The 50 Gigatonne decadal methane dead pulse scenario was posited by four Arctic specialists in 2008 and is now considered plausible by Met Office scientists
The paper noted that while seabed permafrost underlaying most of the East Siberia Arctic Shelf (ESAS) was previously believed to act as an "impermeable lid preventing methane escape," new data showing "extreme methane supersaturation of surface water, implying high sea-to-air fluxes" challenged this assumption. Data showed:
"Extremely high concentrations of methane (up to 8 ppm) in the atmospheric layer above the sea surface along with anomalously high concentrations of dissolved methane in the water column (up to 560 nM, or 12000% of super saturation)."
One source of these emissions "may be highly potential and extremely mobile shallow methane hydrates, whose stability zone is seabed permafrost-related and could be disturbed upon permafrost development, degradation, and thawing." Even if the methane hydrates are deep, fissures, taliks and other soft spots create heat pathways from the seabed which warms quickly due to shallow depths. Various mechanisms for such processes have been elaborated in detail.
The paper then posits the plausibility of a 50 Gigatonne (Gt) methane release occurring abruptly "at any time." Noting that the total quantity of carbon in the ESAS is "not less than 1,400 Gt", the authors wrote:
"Since the area of geological disjunctives (fault zones, tectonically and seismically active areas) within the Siberian Arctic shelf composes not less than 1-2% of the total area and area of open taliks (area of melt through permafrost), acting as a pathway for methane escape within the Siberian Arctic shelf reaches up to 5-10% of the total area, we consider release of up to 50 Gt of predicted amount of hydrate storage as highly possible for abrupt release at any time. That may cause ∼12-times increase of modern atmospheric methane burden with consequent catastrophic greenhouse warming."
So the 50 Gt scenario used by the new Nature paper does not postulate the total release of the ESAS methane hydrate reservoir, but only a tiny fraction of it.
The scale of this scenario is roughly corroborated elsewhere. A 2010 scientific analysis led by the UK's Met Office in Review of Geophysics recognised the plausibility of catastrophic carbon releases from Arctic permafrost thawing of between 50-100 Gt this century, with a 40 Gt carbon release from the Siberian Yedoma region possible over four decades.
Shakhova and her team have developed these findings from data derived from over 20 field expeditions from 1999 to 2011. In 2010, Shakhova et. al published a paper in Science based on their annual research trips which highlighted that the ESAS was a key reservoir of methane "more than three times as large as the nearby Siberian wetland... considered the primary Northern Hemisphere source of atmospheric methane." Current average methane concentrations in the Arctic are:
"about 1.85 parts per million, the highest in 400,000 years" and "on par with previous estimates of methane venting from the entire World Ocean."
As the ESAS is shallow at only 50 metres, most of the methane being released is escaping into the atmosphere rather than being absorbed into water.
The existence of such shallow methane hydrates in permafrost - at depths as small as 20m - was confirmed by Shakhova in the Journal of Geophysical Research. There has been direct observation and sampling of these hydrates by Russian geologists in recent decades until now; this has also been confirmed by US government scientists.
Next bumi yang indah hanya bisa di lihat di foto n gambar oleh anak cucu kita!!!
Its scary to think that what would be release if perma frost is gone.
Permafrost has 2 times more co2 than in all of our atmosphere. And permafrost isn't the only tipping point. We also have methane clathrates, reduced albedo from polar ice melting.
brake release, then whistles playing
Climate change is a problem, however scarcity of resources is going to be devastating!
Yup. Great point. Food shortages will hurt the poor. Money talks. There will be food wars (due to lack of crop viable lands) If we truly are not prepared, the poor will perish first. The poor are peasants/farmers. They could refuse to sell their crops and instead keep it for themselves. If they can do that without governments, state belligerent taking it by force, because if they do that, the rich countries will spare no expense ensuring the survival of their people. If they get away with keeping their land and crops, that's when the rich countries will feel it. Rich countries under threat, will take drastic measures at the expense of less fortunate others. Long story short, food wars, poor countries/people are screwed. Once the population is reduced, that may mean the reduced resources suffice to sustain those left (the rich). But then again, who will slave away to provide all the luxuries the rich enjoy. Who will dig coltan out of mines all day for a couple of bucks a day? AI and machines to the rescue.
Even the changes in the weather and the seasons are a problem for some idiots.
We are going to extinct is the scientific fact, to call this just a problem is very stupid,

Surely DW can afford a proof reader for the title of this video!
It's hard to understand how we can continue to grow the population by another 1-3 billion people, have the lifestyle that we're used to in the West, and allow developing countries to continue developing. Something has got to give somewhere. We could have likely solved this with more solar panels if we had continued the path we tentatively started down in the 1970s, but at this point, it sure seems like we need to methodically reduce population, reduce our standard of living in the West, _and_ migrate everything to renewables. I don't see any of that happening to a degree that matters, and I hope I'm wrong.

It cost me about USD$20k to convert our house to being fully solar powered, a cost we will eventually recoup. In addition I have about twice as much usable current as the grid provided, and the electricity is full sine-wave clean. Reserve time is measured in days, with longer possible with care.
If this type of system were widely incorporated into at least new residential construction the costs would drop and become negligible in the scope of the expense of the whole house project.
I can't change the planet... but I can change the way I interact with it... one step at a time. And my neighbors also became interested when they noticed our house doesn't go dark during power failures, but stays silently lit (except for the music still playing on).
