It's hard to convince people who have a memory of something worse that climate change is real. Xenia tornadoes in the 60s, the blizzard I mentioned earlier, to Hurricane Katrina. The recent hurricanes to hit Louisiana didn't breach the levies, so there's a false sense of security for the residents there.

      The “human-induced climate change” hoax is a trojan horse through which un-elected-aristocratic-globalist organizations, such as the United Nations, are attempting to seize totalitarian control over every minute detail of our lives, under the phony pretext of “saving the planet” from an environmental crisis that does not exist. Joe Biden is part of the group of the political puppets that is peddling the climate change hoax in order to acquire more taxes and facilitate the fake need to establish a personal credit score to control human behavior and to establish a carbon tracking tool to digitally enslave Americans into communism. It is that simple, as every Western country is doing the same thing.
      The Goal of Climate Change Pushers is to Establish Netzero:
      Netzero-is a scheme to tax everything that humans do. It means to have Netzero emissions, which means you can’t emit any carbon dioxide. Hence you can’t drive (this is why they are pushing the failing electric cars), you can’t fly a plane, you can’t farm, you can’t heat your home in the winter or AC cool your home in the summer-because it warms the earth they claim. It is a scheme using the fraud of climate change, the environmental crisis, to push for Netzero in order to save the planet. In reality, this is the excuse to gain total control over human reproduction and human behavior. What you can eat, what you can’t eat, what you can do, what you can’t do, where you can go, where you can’t go; it’s a total restructuring of human life: the Great Reset. They want this Netzero by 2030! It is a Trojan horse of taxes and control over the masses; do what we say, or pay!

      i can tell you about the documentary showing climate refugees in Bangladesh, since, i am from that part of the world and problem with Bangladesh is overpopulation and not enough land...cyclones AKA hurricanes are a seasonal phenomenon there and are essential for the monsoon to happen...cyclones have been periodically happening since forever...so flooding and high rainfall is a common occurrence. what is happening is these people are migrating to the mangrove forests in Bangladesh delta and cutting and clearing the trees. the mangrove forests AKA the "Sundarbans", are the largest mangrove forest on earth and the entire region of Bangladesh has subtropical climate having 90% above humidity, winter season lasts 1 month max....the region is the Indo-Gangetic delta also the largest delta on earth....the mangrove forests are the lifeblood of the region, now people are migrating there and cutting down the forest for agricultural land, fisheries etc....Now there is nothing to stop the full force of the seasonal hurricanes and it reaches inland....this is more to do with overpopulation and deforestation than carbon emissions of someone sitting in the US.....

      It's not relevant as the cooling periods took place over hundreds of thousands of years so life had time to adapt - it's actually the rate of change of temperature which is more worrying. In the cretaceous period, global temperatures peaked at 15 degrees higher than today and there were temperate forests that stretched right to the poles. however, this increase took place over millions of years.

    I can't speak for other parts of the world but here in Phoenix we've had tremendous growth over the last twenty years. The city is spreading out into the desert. That means more paved roads, parking lots and buildings. This creates a heat dome or a heat island effect. Maybe it would be better for urban growth to go vertically instead of horizontally. The City of Phoenix started its Cool Pavement Program a couple of years ago. I'm hoping this program will mitigate the effects of our urban heat island.

    New Zealand here...we have been getting wetter and warmer winters, the lack of snow pack has been more evident year on year, our glaciers are retreating faster and faster. Frosts used to be commonplace, even into spring and even a decade ago, now I can just about count on my hands the number of frosts we have each winter. Our summers are hotter and drier, spring is borderline non-existent. This year, I've been having to mow my lawn weekly since the beginning of September, when the ground should not be warm enough to sustain such growth well into October. We get more extreme weather events and cyclones travel further south from the tropics, in part due to weaker jetstreams as a result of warming, and they stay wetter and stronger due to warmer oceans surrounding us. The Tasman sea has been breaking record warm levels year on year in recent times. The fact that I've been able to witness these changes in my lifetime, and they only seem to be accelerating in the last 5-10 years to the point that it is as noticeable as it is, is absolutely terrifying. And the number of people who STILL think it's a hoax, even here in NZ, who voted in a Govt in our latest election who intend on doing nothing more than paying mere lipservice to climate and environmental issues just disgusts me.

    Meanwhile the people in the wealthiest countries don’t notice much and continue to live in and consume in the same level they are used to. While if they would even change a little bit of their behavior that would already make a huge impact and even more than the people who are more vulnerable to this problem.
    But sadly most of the people in 1st world countries see it as a fairytale and choose money and comfort over perspective and progression of an advanced society that can offer anyones basic needs.

I found all the info very intriguing up until they stated "too much water could be a problem too", this is what made me think of my country 'Fiji' which is basically one of the largest islands in the Pacific but compared to all the other developed countries, it is not much. Anyway, I thought "bro, have these guys heard abt Fiji? We're literally surrounded by water and sometimes it even comes inland " , next thing I know...Fiji pops up as the first example of "too much water can be a problem" and my heart stops for a few seconds. This is when I realized how serious this issue abt climate change is and that we all must take action immediately to prevent it from destroying our lives and our beautiful planet any further.

      I'd say you do have to be a scientist or at least relatively up-to-date w/ science on the area. From gut feeling some people would say it's actually getting colder and whatnot, partly because regionally there may be even increase in colder temperatures due to "fragmentation" of polar vortexes. Not to mention cycles like el niño and la niña, which may influence wrong gut-feeling conclusions in somewhat shorter term as well. Of course, some people would exaggerate in the other direction, and some that it fluctuates wildly from time to time, but the long-term trend is really noticeable only when studying it, the actual temperature record. Sorry if I sound pedantic, I just like to be always wary of even minimal exaggerations because some of the denier types will often have some highly specific knowledge about certain places being colder and whatnot, or that temporary plateau/hiatus (1998-2013, per wikipedia) that happened for a little while, for nearly a decade if I recall.

    From Sydney, recently over the past few years I have been noticing that we have a few dry and hot summers followed by wet and humid summers. In 2019/2020 summer we had bushfires and droughts which were very devastating to farmers and people in the West Sydney suburbs were being engulfed by the flames. In 2021 we had floods that affected many people including my Aunt who had to evacuate and lasted for a week. So for the people thinking climate change only affects 3rd world country, take my word for it, 1st world countries get affected also.

      I am not saying humans have not caused some eviromental problems. Our population went from 1 billion in 1800 to almost 8 billion now. Of course that will change alot of things. But we as humans are incapable of controlling our population and people who invent things from looking ahead to see what the long term affects will be. If they even care, it's all about money and greed. We all only think about today right now! The human race is only capable of seeing a few years ahead if that. Plus we keep sending food and building in places where that human population should not be or the population should not be that high.
      A guy told me once we are the most intelligent being on this planet. I said he was wrong. WE ARE THE MOST CLEVER. We are not that intelligent. We can't even manage our population, food and water resouces properly. We just figure ways around (Mother Nature) a problem that concerns us right now, not thinking pros and cons for the distant future. Thats because we haven't evolved enough out of prehistoic past. If you read about human behavior we are still using our basic animal instincts to survive on a dailhy basis that we have been using for the last 1 billion years or so. We haven't changed that much since then. We just have learned to make and use tools without a proper teacher.!!
      As the world's heat rate rises a little faster then it would natually be. The planet will still be on course to heat up past our living capacity in a few hundred thousand years. We just happen to be living in a relative calm intemission between the ups and downs of natural climate. We and the other life forms on Earth will either adapt or die !!

    An important factor not covered in this film is that a 3C world is very likely to trigger a number of potentially very large, self-reinforcing feedbacks - in other words unstoppable once triggered. For example, the melting of circumpolar permafrost (releasing methane) , conversion of the Amazon Basin to a dry savannah ecosystem, the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves and ocean acidification is by no means an exhaustive list. And yet, despite this, governments still seem to be trapped in a dithering, lethargic state of procrastination.

      Garbage The economist is a political propaganda mag as everyone knows >> So now for some reality >>There was a climate crisis that destroyed civilisations, and that was about 3000 years ago.
      It is an irrefutable fact that as CO2 levels increase then plant growth does also.
      CO2 at 1000ppm [ three times present levels] is possibly optimum for forests, agriculture, and deserts..
      Commercial green houses use this fact for high yield and profitability
      If we could increase levels of CO2 to optimum levels of about 1000ppm the forests would flourish; the deserts would become productive; and the imminent destruction of agriculture now sought would make New Zealand even a greater major exporter of food ;
      plentiful for the world,.
      And of course human societies go well during the warm periods.
      Older people flock to warmer areas at retirement.
      The climate threat is a globalist scam to redistribute wealth upwards yet again.
      CO2 levels rise after warm earth periods not before as we are conditioned to think by the fraudulent climate control freaks.
      In any event human civilizations have always been more successful in warmer periods.

When I was little, countries like Madagascar were tropic rainforest, now the southern half is a desert. overusing the land isn't a new issue, the Egyptian Empire collapsed due to environmental damage caused by a lack of crop rotation. So now they blame "climate change" because it absolves them of their own failings.

      Go tell China or Russia to start following the same EPA guidlines that everyone else tends to hold to and see where that gets you.
      What your suggesting works perfectly on paper. Unfortunately, the world is horribly imperfect.

      dont worry about it, global warming is insignificant and not caused by humans, its caused by greedy people trying to sell you products like solar panels and electric cars. your future is looking better if you ignore the fake facts and news.
      just remember its all centered around making you buy greenwashed products which in the end does increase pollution but does not alter your climate, be it tropical or temperate or even arctic. the earth doesnt have a climate. it has many climates.
      its something big media will never say because climate change is a GLOBAL SCAM.
