The Paris Climate Meeting: A Quick Guide
news.discovery.com/earth/globa...
“Beginning Monday, until Dec. 11, representatives of 196 nations, and an estimated total of 20,000 accredited negotiators and observers will be gathered in Paris to discuss steps to address climate change. Like the 2009 Copenhagen summit before it, the Paris gathering has attracted a lot of media attention and will be in the news a lot more over the coming two weeks. So what exactly is it, and what is expected to happen?”
The world just agreed to a major climate deal in Paris. Now comes the hard part.
www.vox.com/2015/12/12/9981020...
“After two weeks of bleary all-nighters in Paris, diplomats from around the world have hammered out a major global agreement to address climate change. Here's the full 31-page document, which was approved by 195 countries on Saturday.”

Wow! Politicians, who are universally regarded as hypocrites and liars, have agreed to allow themselves to set their own goals, measure their own compliance and undertake a HUGE wealth transfer from developed countries to countries which have not been willing and/or able to develop themselves. Sounds like a plan to me, a very bad plan but at least one which allows some people to congratulate themselves on taking and holding the moral high ground for themselves.
hhahahhahaha thumbs up for this comment
We're fucked.
+Terrell Taylor But if we use each talk as a stepping stone for upping the carbon cutting goals then we could still make it. Saying "we're fucked" is the first step to not trying to do anything at all. Which is by far the worst option available.
jogandsp We're fucked big time.
+Terrell Taylor fight back!
+Terrell Taylor No, our grandchildren our fucked.
Sergio Estrada Viva la revolucion!
This is great and all, but it should have happened 40 years ago.
True.
+ClippersNBAChampions2016 atleast its happening.. dont be a pessimist
Im happy it is happening now not in 30 years from now.
The best time plant a tree was 30 years ago, the second best time is today.
+ClippersNBAChampions2016 I beleive it should however now it is waaay too late...
It doesn't take 2 years to come up with ideas on how to do this, they could be building green energy windmills or solar generators within 6 months.
they have those...
Well, more of those and better those. We've got nuclear which no one likes because of Hiroshima and Chernobyl, solar panels and wind turbines. Nothing else. We've got hydroelectric and thermoelectric but those are costly and don't give that much power.
Nah, solar powered cars are a bit lame, they don't have the range that something like a Tesla has. Also hydrogen would be way better than electric powered cars since we don't have to charge them with electricity that comes from oil and coal power plants but hydrogen is too easy to implement and too cheap to produce so like you said, it'd decimate the oil business.
+Captain Capellini it would create lots of jobs actually. we need (hopefully eco friendly) factories to make things to be more eco, we need workers to make them, and so forth. want an endless job? redo every road in the world with eco white roads and not ashphalt. there you go. instant forever job, another forever job, planting not only tree's but other important plantlife, we can do this is our own neighborhoods people! in our own gardens. plant native tree's and flowers in your gardens instead of foreign ones. i see so many berry tree's and bushes that go to waste just because the animals cant eat them or they are poisonous.
+Captain Capellini Governments could restrict the use of fossil fuels, clearly explain why and make alternatives available. As available as possible. You can drive freely in your electric car but only use a certain amount of gas, in all countries. That takes effect immediately. Small electric to-work cars are cheap and no gas.
"Ahh, this is going to solve everything!"
*Ends up paying 1 billion dollars to a bunch of random countries to do nothing with*
Lol the elephant in the room is that the only solution is to go full nuclear and hope we find a way to use thorium before we run out of uranium.
Screw thorium, let's go from uranium to fusion!!!
+calsta619 You're the man! :D
calsta619 lol odds are we won't ever be able to do fusion so there's that.
Second we have fusion reactor beneith our feet. We always can extract energy from that.
+Eric Cartman
I'm pretty certain we don't live on the sun.
CMDR Dantae earth's core is a fusion reactor...
we all have to go vegan thats the only way we can save us
Sorry, to eat enough veggies and fruit for a day to make me even remotely satisfied would cost me too much.
Nope we can use alternative forms of obtaining energy which are already being used in the US. Like going Geothermal, Hydro, Biomass, or we can put more money into the research of finding more sustainable fuels.
Please are there any references about this part of your video: Vox put together a chart from climate action Tracker data and found without COP21's plan we would hit a 3.8C increased Earth temperature by 2100. With the Paris pledges we'll still hit 2.7*C and it is way over the 2*C upper limit. Is it from a peer review article? I would like to use it in an academic essay. Thanks
You hear all about this 2C, but what is the actual temperature baseline?
all of these measurements say that we're going to have over A 2 degree increase on average across the globe but they never seem to take into account the fact that we can remove CO2 from the air very effectively. they only predict the temperature if we just stop putting GHG's in the atmosphere.
I know this is off topic. But do you film using the rule of thirds?
What's that
+orayole your google-fu is weak young one
Carlos Luque
but then I'd have to tab out of youtube. no way
+orayole it's used when filming pretty often where you set up the camera so that the subject is on some 1/3 part of the screen. Apparently it's aesthetically pleasing.
Bronson Stephens
Makes sense. Don't want a closeup of yo ugly face.
Trace i love your episode but do you EVER take a vacation?? :))
What about Radiative forcing from cirrus clouds from 80,000 flights at stratospheric levels contribution? Would you speculate that's hurting or helping the situation because it will trap infrared light at night but block UV during the day. And much of that sustains for 8 hours. We need electric Jets?
the other question is is how much is the ocean and Forest buffering the situation to get us to a net atmospheric zero contribution number because they are always buffering the situation. If we get to net zero will the forests grow slower? wouldn't we hypothetically reduce the amount of oxygen in that atmosphere also if we drastically reduce carbon?
That presentation by Trace was nicely Done -Should have Got him to go to the Previous ones and Speak to them
Hay trace
is there any way to trap co2 by any renewable means without using harmful chemicals?............
What really buggs me is that nobody ever considers nuclear power.
2 words. Nuclear Waste, I was a fan of nuclear until I make a lot of research and find out that we haven't developed a way to get rid of it. Of course fossil fuels are worst but if we are going to chance our energy source it is great to do it cleaner.
Awesome video. 😃
Thanks from India.
So, what is the total cost of reaching the Climate Agreement goals?... And how much cooler will the earth be for that expenditure?
Is that trace in the background at 0:21?!
That capsule corporation logo doe
Refer: data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PC
The per capita Carbon emission of USA is 16, where as that of India is 1.6
Hope they will finally realize the harms of meat production on the environment.
Trace Domingues, I shall come to America one day, find you and get you a beer (or a fair-trade homemade, non alcoholic beverage for that matter) as just did my uni assignment.
Cheerio mate! 👍🏻
i feel like we should use lactic acid instead of ethanol fuel because it contains slightly more energy but i guess the internet doesn't agree since there are no websites talking about the use of lactic acid as a fuel.
the only problem i see is it slowly corroding iron and aluminium engines but that is a small price to pay for the whole more energy per liter thing.
my personal idea is dig really really deep holes in the ground and put a lid on it then put water and either natural lactobacillales or gmo lactobacillales (gmo for cellulose to glucose or increased acid resistance or lignin to the lignin monomers) then put food waste in the hole and then take the sludge out and boil the water off and pump it into cars to burn finally repeat the last two steps.
Thanks for this video! Just one suggestion though, and this is kind of a new way of strategy and thinking, is for us as citizens to change the way we consume and our lifestyles in general if we live in a manner that contributes to the detriment of our environment. Putting pressure on governments can take years for them to make actual policy change, therefore, we should make this change ourselves by the way we live our lives. What do you all think?
How about reducing your meat consumption first?
+BitCatchyMusic I prefer to avoid the permanent damage for vegan and vegetarian diets.
Don't know what kind of permanent damage you're talking about but good for you buddy. Lol
Ikr, I was trying to figure out if his shirt was supposed to be ironic or not...
+BitCatchyMusic Meat is the worst. Vegan is better but fish is best. No pollution, no land grab, no fertilizers and pesticides and No fresh water needed. Oceans are 70% of earth.
***** Ocean fishing is a bit hard to sustain with the worlds population. Even now, common fish for the table are being depleted and some times that tuna you ate wasn't tuna.
Vegan is about eating a diet that we can barely process. The majority of what we have eaten as a species is fruit and meat. Sugar, fat, protein i its simplest and most raw forms.
Hey , I would just like to inform that in India the prime mister is promoting to use LPG ( sort of burning gas ) for cooking instead of using woods to cook in all the villages throughout India and let me tell you it's a success here , it might not be contributing that much but hey , it still counts
Means nothing, does nothing.
What about solar roadways?
Solar panel roads.
We won't be able to make 2°C if we don't find a way of pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere and turn it into coal that can be safely stored. One way of doing that might be building huge algae tanks and turning the algae mush into coal dust.
The solution is Hydroloop/Aqualoop it's a tube system that instead of it being airless it is filled with seawater/ocean
5 years is way too much. We need at least 1 per year just to have a small amount of time before the damages are way too serious.
Actually there is some fuels out there that could save you a considerable amount of money over a span of 10-20 years. One of those fuels are Geothermal which is already being used in many countries across the globe like the US. Geothermal energy is 400 percent efficient. Geothermal energy is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Geothermal power plants have average availabilities of 90% or higher, compared to about 75% for coal plants. And its a renewable resource and homegrown lessening the US dependency of foreign oil. To those in the comments wanting to lessen meat consumption is also right, but implementing it would be impossible. And frankly it also stagnates onto civil rights issues which isn't worth it. Go Geothermal.
This is nothing more than money and control.
We don't need to be FORCED to help.
Minimizing meat consumption.
If you think stopping meat eating will help the environment your beyond help. The ecosystem doesn't work like that, you can't have too much or too many of a certain species that's why you can't just kill Wolfs.
+D Rose animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/methane-cow.htm
+D Rose He's referring to the methane emissions of mass-farmed animals.
:/
+dickinsontanner at least you didn't say stop eating meat
Why dont they heavily invest in new power sources such as fusion. This was they could cut most of all carbon emissions in 30 years or so.
at 2:30 you said INDIA the 3rd largest emitter of CO2, but actually it is 4th largest emitter :)
While having international conferences regarding climate change is quite progressive, one matter too is changing attitudes on a smaller level, especially in highly-developed countries. We will get nowhere is we have billionaire lobbyists continually blocking legislation to make positive changes, and we definitely need to convince people that climate change is real. People also need to learn to adopt more ways of being sustainable.
They need to step up the production of solar panel roads Right now asphalt roads are just a waste of space
Sir, do you have a beard contract?
The saddest outcome of this for me is the pitiful response from New Zealand PM John Key. New Zealand used to be one of the better countries for being green, but John Key has done almost nothing to move the country forward, while also investing in things that will negatively affect the planet
We can't even predict tomorrow's weather, yet people still pass as "science" the theory that Earth's temperature will change in a 100 years.
BP, Exxon-Mobile, and many other energy producers using fossil fuels keep detailed records of how many tons of oil products they process, the amount of energy they use from each ton of product (refined oil, diesel, natural gas, etc...) and no matter how much energy is used the use creates byproducts like smoke and most importantly heat. They do the math. They add up how much CO2, ozone, the cluster of chemicals in smoke, the amount of heat generated when the fuel is used, and many other factors. Energy stored in the form of fossilized hydrocarbons that took thousands of years to condense into dense fossil material is being released i.e. burning to create steam which creates smoke, heat, steam, and other chemicals. They know for a fact how much smoke, heat, steam, chemicals, etc...are released from each ton of fossil fuel. They know for a fact how much atmosphere (oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ozone etc...) is mixing with energy generated by each ton of fossil fuel they burn. The math says combining the existing natural heat of the sun with the unnatural and massive amount of heat created by burning tons of fossil fuels is heating the atmosphere. Digging into the earth, scooping out coal and pumping out oil by the ton, and burning it by the ton is not a natural phenomenon and it is something we can control because we're the ones pulling the fossilized hydrocarbons out of the earth. We can make less coal which creates less heat generate much more energy i.e. be more energy efficient. Combine that with using existing energy from the sun and wind and we get less chemical release from burning fossil fuels, more energy use from clean solar and wind energy harvesting, and the combination of those two energy sources reduces the atmospheric temperature resulting in keeping the atmosphere cool enough to not melt the ice caps and cool enough to not kill coral reefs.
Anyone here in 2017 and know that the US pulled out of the Paris Accord?
Dnews best
but scishow is better imo
+Icarus the star kid trueeee
why are we still relying on a few politicians? This is down every individual.
Best T-shirts ever.
Watching this now as Trump pulled the US out of the agreement...
Which basically changes nothing, considering that we would still hit 2.7 increase by 2100 and there's not really a penalty for not reaching the goal set by the accords. Nothing was lost, really.
By Trump pulling out of the accords, he saved the American People billions of wasted dollars, for essentially a zero sum game being played by the same scum bags who used subsidized US $ to open and then close Solar Power Companies that set back the Green Energy development of America by decades. They took the money, and ran, and nothing was done about it. More people scamming those who want desperately to do the right thing.
hey Trace, can you talk about what would happen if we were racially/sexually blind (no discrimination or negativity from us humans at all) how advanced would we be? I know different ideas coming together create new inventions, but what would happen if you put all those idea making minds together? how would our world be?
What an excellent way to begin building the framework for a world government.
This is mislead thinking.
... By "rich countries" he means "The United States"....
#PrayForParis
RunHao Bruh I know im messing ;)
Just stop waiting for politicians to save the planet, spoiler alert: they won"t. It's our individual duty to be eco-friendly. Start helping your planet, that's how we'll slow down climate change, not by asking politicians to do it.
The most efficient way to reduce your personal pollution is to reduce your meat consumption, since the meat industry is 51% of all the pollution, just start eating less meat people, please. Then you probably know the other steps to help the planet (lights off, etc)
Peace :)
that background song tho
why did they not cite this music
Paris has some of the cleanest electricity in Europe already. Lots of nuclear and hydro, just like my province, Ontario. Just know my gaming rig isn't contributing to climate change, and this 2015-2016 winter is weird.
What needs to happen is high subudies on clean energy technologies to encourage a profit motive to develop them. Once you have that, the tech will snowball into something great. Humanity needs a motive to excell infinitely moreso than gentle encouragement. Right now that motive tips strongly in the direction of money as the powers that control the resources are money driven entities.
they do more damage travelling to the damn conferences than anything else.
didn't Donald Trump withdraw from the US from the paris climate agreement
those countries should have done what Buenos Aires did.... build above Sea level.... Buenos Aires literally, filled up the entire original city (colonial buildings included) to build on top of that existing city.
I wish all cities in argentina were built like that....
but the problem isn't really clima change...the real problem is the change of magnetic poles.... it's not just weather what is being affected by it... and policies won't help.... there is nothing anyone can do to prevent the change....we just have to wait for Gaia to balance itself like it always has every time the magnetic poles change position....so...if something catastrophic happens, do not blame it on humans.
Is the earth getting greener? Is the earth greening?
this makes me happy
Being Vegan is a huge benefit in multiple ways. Gotta be nice, gotta show love, no hurting others please.
For all the talk about how we're all going to die, it has happened before. It will happen again. And it's nowhere near as hot now as it has been in the past.
The climate change conference has the same logo as Comedy Central.
+Shawn Ravenfire Wait, never mind. The C is facing the wrong way.
If we plaster the planet with solar panels we could eliminate the 125 PPM we could also absorb the sun and cool the planet. But wouldn't we reduce the evaporation rate of the oceans and the seas rise?
*ahem* why not fusion?
What about Maunder Minimum, it should help lower global temperatures!
+jman6866 That happened about 300 years ago
xHaRdStYlExHuNgErx Actually do your investigation, the sun is going to enter into a Maunder Minimum stage around 2030, it isn't going to be as strong as the one 300 years ago but the sun will cool about 60%
***** Yes I know, but the marauder minimum was the name given to that event.
We are having another marauder minimum like event.
xHaRdStYlExHuNgErx Exactly so because of this event, by 2030 we should have colder temperatures during the winter months
Cowspiracy. Watch Cowspiracy. I would give to you my little finger if you just typed it into youtube and watched it.
Everyone should
+Nightcore Coras meat farming accounts for like 20% of greenhouse gasses, conspiracy was just a bunch of journalists, but i will agree that cutting forest down for meat production is awful, but oil and coal produce way more carbon, cwspiracy had no scientists or PHDs, they even got the basic fact about where our oxygen comes from, they said it comes mainly from the forests, but actually no around 70% of our oxygen comes my plankton and algae in the ocean, if you wan't to watch a real scientific series about our planet watch "vuduciel earth from above", it was amazing, cowspircy was a scientific fail and full of idiotic false statements
The documentary was poorly executed. Not enough time spent educating the viewer and too much time pissing on environmentalist organizations for ignoring this 1 finding.
+Nathan Jones Animal agriculture actually accounts for around 51% of greenhouse gas emissions. Also cowspiracy isnt full of false statements. I would advise you to go to there website and check read studies done by the United Nations among other credible organizantions where they got there information from.
Matt B.| SwiftMonster Motion Design no it doesn't use common sense, we burn millions of barrels of oil and millions of tonnes of coal a day, they got the most basic things wrong like how most of our oxygen comes from the ocean not forests, it a sad attempt at a document, seriously watch earth from above and you will see and know how stupid you sound.
Climate change increased average temperature by less than 5°c. That's not why it has been in the 70s this summer.
Any discussions on Geoengineering?
Or is that still a "no no hush hush" topic that daddy says we can't talk about?
+Sol Mon We don't like geoengineering because it takes so much investment of labor and resources. And if we stop the work, does the climate just spring to huge warming. I see geoengineering as treating symptoms, as it does nothing to lower our use of damaging energy sources.
That's a real cheesy t-shirt Trace
change all lights to led. try driving eco friendly car or even bike/public transport. and dont fuking complain if A windmill is beeing build close to your home. every New building should be force to place solar panels. summer heat should be stored underground(water or salt) and than used for heating im the winter. also tripple layered class for those Who can affort it. and isolate the house more. with good isolation your heater should only be used in winter.
and coal stop now. even gass and nuclear is better.
English isn't your first language right?
+rubikfan1 i changed my parents and my light bulbs to led like 8 years ago and i havnt needed to change one YET! amazing. saves on money too in the long run.
calsta619 true. dutch is.
Ash Lilyvale nice, most of our lights are changed to led. just a few bulbs that arent used much like garage(small garage with no car )
+rubikfan1 The cost of solar panels is enormous, in many places houses are already ridiculously expensive, requiring solar panels would make the problem worse
Comic B Studios the question is, is it cleaner, not is it cheaper. that is another subject.
This is not fast enough 😡
I think of it as the opposite of what I think of Fox News: I'll believe it when I see it.
i love the UN in terms of this. reminds me of the federation.
The Earth has been fucked we can't stop the heat from raising we can slow it down but we can't stop it
considering how terrible the cow industry is for the environment, it's pretty ironic that Trace is wearing a shirt about cheese -__-
195 countries ......wait aren't there 193
they don't have the same finish line
People forget it comes at a cost....
What is the cost? Human lives.
If you decrease carbon pollution what you are really doing is slowing the economy down.
(even if you are just installing renewable energy)
In areas that people are already dying from starvation this simply makes more people die.
And sure it will avoid some deaths in the future but its an equation and you cant just look at one side and proclaim victory..
People are so ignorant and easy to manipulate that it really makes me wonder what our future really is.
I wish people would not act on their emotions and say "I dont know" more often. Before they join a cause or get manipulated into a certain opinion.
I call madness to do the same over and over again and expect different results.
You can't save the planet with this anti economic system that is destroying it.
Superman VS Dr. Manhattan
start building nuclear power plants
the Paris talks are nothing but hot air you would be better just investing the money that would be wasted in UN bureaucracy on improving the environment in each nation individually than loosing trillions of dollars in admin and red tape while at the same time building a better greener economy in each nation individually.
And not one mention to the negatives of the agreement..... nice NOT.
dude's wearing a cheese shirt
You left out how much all this shit $$$ this is going to COST us. The year 2100 is 85 YEARS away. Most of will be DEAD long before. Why do I have to pay for something I have NO STAKE in???
Your children, grandchildren, (etc.) Will pay the price.
+TheZelonix I have no children. It would be completely irresponsible to bring a child into a world like this. So tell me, what's in it for me? Why should I care about what MIGHT happen 85 years from now?
+TheLastAmericanJEDI 1. Don't you have/will soon have Nieces/Nephews? Because they'll likely pay the price if we don't phase out fossil fuels. and 2. Also, I *highly* recommend you read this entire blog post: waitbutwhy.com/2015/06/how-tesla-will-change-your-life.html Because after you read it, you'll know why we need to phase out fossil fuels.
David K I'm an only child, no nieces or nephews. I've nothing to lose when it comes to the Climate Change Industry. If you really want to sell me and others like me on the whole Climate Change scam, you need to give us something. Perhaps cheap or free "clean" energy. Putting money into my pocket would go a long way toward getting my support. Maybe giving me tax credits for the adoption of these policies. But I'm not hearing anything like that from either side of the argument. What I am hearing is, that I'm going to have to "make sacrifices" to protect the future of the planet. Sorry, but protecting a future I've no stake in, interests me very little. Therefore, I will demand my elected representatives to block these measures until such time it benefits my way of life, and does so during my lifetime. Sorry.
TheLastAmericanJEDI
Can you at least read the blog post?
Show me the affordable technology ! Fracking is safe and can help until real solutions are discovered . Nuclear also . Deforestation will continue if we wait on the bureaucrats.
Australia's addicted to coal.
Keep under 2 , np ..last hundred years we only increased.8
now that our president says were out of the Paris agreement was next for American
An attempt to make the U.S. self-sufficient when it comes to energy and have a thriving economy independent of shared goals of the Paris agreement. It worries me that Trump's budget projection includes trillions of dollars in predicted economic growth over the next two or three fiscal years. I'm not sure entitled, politically correct, libtards will be able to work at the jobs Trump is helping businesses created by reducing regulations and taxes. I mean, the businesses can hire more people and expand using the money they save from reduced taxes etc...but liberal snowflakes still won't have a 'safe space' at work where they won't be offended. They'll stay unemployed so they won't have coworkers who might hurt their feelings. Ugh. smh
Issues like this makes me almost wish Napoleon or Hitler had actually succeeded their world conquests.
Then we could've had a global leadership with the political power necessary to actually enforce uncomfortable pro-climate policies among the bickering actors.
Nuclear is literally the best answer, cheapest. and safest.
Nuclear desalinization of ocean water would make a huge benefit.
just trade corn for hemp
Just another agreement that will raise the costs of living and have no impact on the environment
"will agree to reduce their carbon emissions by 2030"... bruh
some say is 5min to 12. but i say its 1min past 12. Just look at the recent weather. so many floods already. very warm crismas. the climat has already changed. and it is only getting worse.
Waste of time and money, we should be looking at ways to adapt to climate change instead of trying to stop it.
Whatever it takes to bring back the Gulf of Maine shrimp..
It's great that our cuts will lead to a temperature rise of 2.7C instead of 3.8C, but ultimately that's only halfway. We're going to need further cuts still in order to get it under the 2C target.
duh derp
