- What if everyone on the planet said "no" to their gas-powered cars right now? And not just cars - gas dryers, water heaters, gas stoves, lawn mowers...
What if we stopped burning fossil fuels all at once? Would this make our lives so much more inconvenient? What would happen to our climate? Would it help us beat global warming?

What if everyone on earth planted as many trees as Thier age?
and kept planting one tree once every year. We should start a tree cult lol.
It would be allot cleaner air.
best Comment
What kind of tree?
Better yet take care of them
Best ways again climate change :
1) plant more trees
2) burn less plastic and other waste
3) use solar panel and other renewable energy sources
4) use your bicycle at least 2 days a week.
5) spread awareness around your neighborhood about the effects of climate change
Devarsh Bhatt not really
Doesn’t work for everyone. For example I can’t ride a bike to work because I’m a carpenter, am I going to tow my 2t trailer full of tools with my push bike ?
I ride my bicycle 7 days a week. Because I have nothing else yet.
Maybe ask Indians to stop increasing there population into Billions.
The amount of bullshit in this video shoot the roof...there is NO temperature rising! We live in ICE AGE! And LITTLE warming we call is called HOLOCENE warm period, an INTERGLACIAL!
We live in Ice Age, warming is good but the world go cooler and snovier.
A week ago my city used about half the vehicles than it usually did, the difference in air quality was significant. The pollution meter which normally indicated 70-80 ugh/m^3 showed just 20 ugh/m^3.
Just sayin
Nishant Nepal hello I’m also Nepali
So what is ugh is it the sound u say like "oof"==>"ugh"
Earth heal itself
a week ago I used 90% of your mom's energy
just sayin
@@average2747 kid
So head there if u need to charge ur phone......
That's awesome line 😂
jabbar sanadi yeah😂😂
Got there the second I saw this comment
No trasport....
no because its well out of date as many countries now use a lot of wind,solar and hydro.
What if we all be silent at once??
Good one , but what about kids
We will stop climate change and burning fossil fuels.
what ! boring
No noise😂
.....
I'd be fine, my house is 100% solar powered and my best mate is a farmer (who is also solar powered)
Aussie for sure
@@galloscuro good guess lmao
@@sephrot6830 I don't pay for electricity because we have the most expensive electricity in the world down here
If you knew anything about how solar power works, your you would know that you can still have power at night or during crap weather
During the day: solar panels recharge a huge battery bank, devices draw power from the solar panels
At night: devices draw power from the batteries
During cloudy weather: solar panels produce less power, so devices often draw power from both at the same time
No grid needed, no power bill received
@@sephrot6830 well now you know a bit more about how solar energy works
Solar panels charge batteries, batteries power devices when the solar panels are not producing energy
@@anyaperceives I would suggest it for sure
Even if it's only 1 panel and a car battery, solar power systems are very modular, even if you are poor you can scale up your system as you buy parts
200W solar panels can be had for less than $60 each if you know where to look
Inverters can be bought from eBay extremely cheaply (if you know where to look, you can get a 1kw pure sinewave inverter for about $180)
Solar charge controllers are about $20 on eBay with free shipping
working AGM batteries can be obtained from the local scrap dealer when the mobile phone companies change the batteries in the cell towers (my local junk yard charges $1/KG for batteries, but if it doesn't work, they only give you 60c/KG as a refund, but I know how to test batteries to make sure they work before I buy)
What if we all jumped at once??
It would make negligible to zero effects to the planet
Look at v sauce
Nothing would happen
Vsauce already did that
So in 150-200 years, we are bound to leave the earth, atleast for a while till things get back to normal. Renewable energy innovation is necessary but it won't solve the problem. We have to come up with something for reversing the climate change.
It gets worse. There is a point of no return and if we pass it, it doesn't matter how long we leave earth, it will never be habitable by humans again.
Climate change has been happening for billions of years. If climate wasn’t changing, I’d be worried.
The only thing we need to do is to nuke mars with hydrogen and convert the co2 into oxygen,water and graphite and settle there. From there we have to again nuke earth with hydrogen and stabiilize then send the half population to earth
@@udith and where are you going to get all this hydrogen
@@bigbadsouljagodofdracosbom4617 from outer space maybe
Use synthetic fuel instead of fossil fuel. Your car can run on it and it's better for the environment.
we can't make synth fuel cheap and plenty enough to replace fossil yet
We need more fossil fuels to save the woods...
@@WadcaWymiaru um how
Synthetic fuel still has co2 emissions. When you burn anything by definition you create a gas that is has an oxygen molecule attached. Like CO and CO2
combine solar and a battery
TikTok brought me here about scientist got arrested about how dangerous fossil fuels if we not continue using this
what if THANOS'S snap was real???
we should have gone for the head
@@wuhski what if thor went for the head?
then half the life of all the universe will be destroyed
You already know what happened after that
@@nicky_tdbp5353 the we couldn't see end game
i dont drive a car, i go to work on foot, or if i go out than mostly with tram :D
That's good!
how does your food get to your local store? Diesel trucks. Do you still buy food? okay then; you bought that diesel fuel, built into the price of the food.
@@geraldfrost4710 nobody asked that tho?
We've seen in 2020 that pollution starts to decrease and animal life coming back.
That's what happened if you stop burning Fossil fuels.
Plant more trees. Construction will have to accommodate for trees and co2 scrubbers.
Expanding nuclear would actually be the best way to combat climate change. But just to be clear we can’t ban fossil fuels completely especially since we need coal to make steel and petroleum to make plastics and synthetic rubber.
Bro I love this channel, they start off with a question and end of a question to think to yourself
Love your work guys , please can I know the name of the music track used @1:40 or is it produced for the video ?
this video feels so short but it gives so many information, thank u! :D
What's more important? money? cars? Technologies? etc. or our lives and the environment that we live in? it is way better to live without those things than seeing the earth die and us too.
Without money you can't buy food, without cars and trucks food can't be transported to your location, without technologies you can produce way less food which means more people will starve. So are you willing to live without those things and risk starving to death?
Y'all should go back to this video now.
How beautiful our earth would be if we don't have these fossil fuels and technologies. I want to live in a normal way- not that hectic way like what we are now. I want to live like I am in a fairy land where there is always green and no worries on any phenomenons.
We can make biodegradable plastic out of hemp. Nuclear power it’s way better for the environment and we more cost effective.
What if everyone in the world didnt use electricity for a whole day ?
Erik Martinez I’m pretty sure he already did that
The power grids would relax a bit and we would be able to see the night sky
GhOst OmegaplayYT then when we turn it back on the grid will overload and collapse
The world would fall apart
Imagine the violence explosion...
when he said "so head there if you need to charge your phone" it got me thinking how would you head there if theres no planes or boats
Sail boats or oars, duh.
I cant wait to fix this.
It's one of the best channel for gk
Electricity can also be made by renewable sources not from fossil fuels
Come through Costa Rica!!!! Love my tiny country.
What If we ran our Fossil Fuel Economy with Green Fuels (Green Coal, Green Oil, Green Gas)?
Everything mentioned in the video stays as is, Minus the CO2 'Addition', basically we would Pause Carbon Emissions and slow down Climate Change!
Me: can I see your homework?
Classmate: ok but don't copy them
Me: 0:19
Classmate: "Would our lives become less convenient?"
Me: "Would this makes our lives that much more inconvenient?"
Looking back from the 1900s when it was the greatest development of heavy industry, it can be said that industry has changed positively for people and the environment, it was not the result of politicians but technology and innovation, and internal combustion engines in cars are the greatest example.
Watching this knowing we only have 3-5 years to save our earth
you know i got a weird dream today that showed the earth being destroyed and i got nervous and started watching these videos
Be advise the world is not going to die. Greenhouse effect is like when you a thick blanket even tho its not cold thats ehat greenhouse effect the world is not gonna explode we are gonna die so yeah
It's impossible to stop burning stuff right now, but it will happen eventually as there is an cheaper cleaner alternative.
NEXT WHAT IF VIDEO
TITLE: WHAT IF WHAT IF WAS NOT BORN
Costa Rica, Norway, and Iceland better rise to power. Then, other countries can start following in their footsteps.
I want to contribute.
(the content part)
It is not politicians who are to decide when internal combustion cars will be removed from production and new technologies must displace them spontaneously, just as horses have been displaced by cars, just as machines have replaced people in the hardest jobs.Just as electricity with its innovation displaces kerosene lamps and then gas lamps from the market, it was not politicians who decided about it, but the technological development of people. the process of introducing electrofication took over 50 years to reach every home, the same must be the process of replacing the car or other technology that uses minerals or oil, otherwise there will be famine, poverty, riots and wars.
Q: What If We Stopped Burning Fossil Fuels Right Now?
A: It will be awesome, but in reality, can you?
What if we only use renewable resources?bcoz every thing has bad affects so what are the bad affects of renewable resources?
Things like wind turbines and tide generators can damage wildlife and habitats as well as affecting the scenery. While creating things like solar panels can give us free energy, producing them costs resources and a lot of energy. Nuclear power is very cheap and very effective, but they can be dangerous if not looked after well (like Chernobyl). The waste produced needs to be stored safely for thousands of years.
@baek’s girl true. Iceland runs almost entirely on geothermal power doesnt it? thats probably possible due to its small population though
Im waiting for the fuel to go extinct
And now the devastating is happening
Now I am scared...
It's been 3 years, the warnings have been here since forever. Now we need to take some actions
what if there no mountains??
by mountains i mean those high rocky mountains eg. the himalayas.
At the height of covid I noticed how fresh the air was here in Atlanta. I think it's because of the lack of cars on the road.
Absolutely, but there is always hope and whether people believe it or not but electric cars have made a huge impact in cleaning up the air a little bit, plus more sustainable fuels at being created.
Loved this channel 😍
We are all living on borrowed time.
Quality < Quantity
WE NEED THIS TODAY
Great video i enjoyed it very much
1:19 is where he says it
Sponsored by tesla:By your self electirc car for only 80k
Me: Yeah....
What if the problem was actually over consumption and over population?
Overconsumption, and greed.
@@r.a.6459 yup!
"It only took a 4 degree increase to put an end to the most recent ice age 12,000 years ago" And this is bad why?
Make a video about what if we stop using plastics
We have to plant Trees too
The Deserts have to disappear
With Ecosia it is simple
It will only take a thousand years for the CO 2 imbalance to rectify if we stop all hydrocarbon emission.
What if we can get RID of the heat in the atmosphere
What if no what if statement at the end of video?
Many of us will be alive in the next few decades and the future generations are important
Hemp can replace ALL oil products, why do you think it has been illegal for so long, no profit in hemp so it won't happen.
What if see water become fresh water?
I live in Norway!☺ 1:54
I need to charge my phone to watch this video
What if we stop polluting environment right now?
Не парьтесь, ФАЯ спасёт мир от глобального потепления.
who else thought climate change was that bad until he said it’s only 1 degrees hotter
I'm doing small things to save energy everyday I always run my phone and tablet on battery saving mode even with 100% battery it last a lot longer,unplug my unused appliances, lights, tv and I have a small solor charger but it works best with apple products. Bikes walking running instead of driving to the corner store
CO2 is irreplaceable
Trees: Hold our Oxygen
Me: Ooh, this vid is finally gonna begin.
...
Video ends.
They need to see this theory
Build a Dyson Swarm to collect electricity without burning fossil fuels, if Dyson Swarm is not enough, use renewable energy. We can recycle plastic wastes to make new gadgets. We can use biodegradable plastic materials made of cassava starch and seaweed instead of oil and ethene. We can switch to bio gasoline (from poop) which have 90% less carbon emissions than of oil ones.
Solar panels and wind turbines need to become extremely cheap so anyone can afford it. Fossil fuel based grid electricity needs to go. Improve solar panel and wind turbine technologies instead.
That will take time though.
music name plz
What if we broke the compounds into its simpler element state. It seems rather impossible (well yeah it is) cause we cant get the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since its not that thick when you look at it, in order to break a compound, you need the actual compound and use method such as electrolysis (a method that uses electricity to break atomic bonds of a compound). But i have a farly or almost impposible yet probable solution. What if we copy the bio structure of plants and make one using machines? Plants are capable of absorbing carbon dioxide as well as sunlight and water to create their food this process is called photosynthesis, and the process happens inside the chloroplast an organelle responsible for breaking down and merging specific compounds into much rather complicated one (but actually not that complicated) but the only problem that we have is how can we copy the chloroplast? I dont know either even though chloroplast came from a bacteria cynobacteria (a simple yet extraordinary bacteria that produces food by itself) we still dont know how it breaks and merge compounds. But who knows, if we can imagineit, we can invent it right?
if humans ever find out how to create a replica of a cell, then that’d be the most revolutionary science that could ever exist. imagine creating cells, which is the basic unit of life, u might be even creating a whole new life form, or even resurrect humans or save humans on the verge of death
You did forget to mention that millions would also die from no reliable source of heating.
This is awful. It looks so intimidating and heightening.
Why do we need so much fossil fuels anyway? Isn't there a safer alternative? Maybe there is something less polluting and can safe our world from over heating.
I think it's time to change. I know change is hard but once we do it and get accustomed it will be a part of our every day routine.
Reduce plastic, get more cardboard, safe our oceans and safe our trees.
I stand for what is right, and for our future
Thankyou gretta for bringing your awareness to us.
and where does cardboard come from - Trees. DOH.
What if we are living trees
+6° would be the death of all living things on earth, we just passed 1.5, with 2/3 of the contribution done is last 30 years. So 1 degree per 20 years, without acceleration we would have 90 years left, but actually much less because its accelerating, and wars starting much sooner than that. I give this planet 10 more years.
We should embrace a warmer and more productive planet.
What your basically saying is that Follies fouls is not a problem because it makes our life a whole lot easier, but we have to suffer the consequences however
and we did...
Spread this video we need this now
Idk but i got so glad cuz you said Norway and i live in norway
Covid: I will make this happen.
Man we really need to Terraform mars
What if all the pollution in our oceans disappeared over night .. what would happen would it have any affect?
Even your topics are pretty intresting
what about biodiesel
Yes, climate change is irreversible (the very conservative IPCC’s latest reports on climate change already confirmed this). But climate change is also abrupt (also confirmed by the IPCC’s latest reports).
If we stop burning fossil fuels right now, the biggest issue would be the loss of “aerosol masking”, which, with the existing concentration of CO2 now being further heated by direct sunlight, would speed up global warming… making climate change even more abrupt than it already is. And in its current state, and the current state of human socio-economic and technological development, we are already at high risk to lose habitat for the human species, this would be ill advised.
The best thing we can do now, is 1. To make structural change to society by changing our economic model of “forever growth” to a sustainable model. 2. To device methods to reflect more sunlight back into space (i.e. amplify something the earth naturally does via the albedo effect) by using light colors and mirrors. Both on the planet surface, as well as (if possible) in space… 3. Increase the amount of carbon sink through natural sequestration of CO2 both on land (with trees) and in water (by increasing phytoplankton populations)… 4. Change subsidies by removing them from fossil fuels (initially from big business, then from medium size enterprises and lastly from small business and people) and direct the subsidies to the development of clean, renewable and sustainable energy projects (to encourage funding of these projects into energy generation that os already cheaper than fossil fuels).
All these 4 things require significant investment, as well as a drastic change in the established economic framework. The new economic framework cannot continue to support either Capitalism, or Socialism/Communism as both these ideologies rely on infinite growth (on a finite planet with finite resources). The new economic framework should be centered on “ecosystem sustainability”, as human habitat is inextricably linked to flora and fauna that have their own individual habitats. We need to let go of the human-centric view, and start considering the wholistic planetary ecosystematic view if we are going to try to avoid the extinction of our species and potentially all others with us.
What If Season 1 Episode 28, What If We Stopped Burning Fossil Fuels Right Now
I know I sound horrible saying this, but I think we’ll learn bettter this way.
I really like your video very much
So it's bad to stop doing those stuff?
What if we did nothing about global warming?
What happened if we didn't burn anything,
even we make food by induction oven.
Co2 to oxygen converter that's how you combat it
XlifesXtoughX easier said than done
reduce the consumption of fossil fuel in the first place and it can be used to produce plastics needed for devices and bottles. NO more burning of Fossil fuels and usage by energy and transportation Sektors.
What if we can create solar energy like the one from Gundam 00? :v
"The power was found in the form of multiple Dyson rings(massive arrays of solar power collectors) orbiting Earth" something like that lols 😂
Ummm did anyone else’s connect the dots? If it change to 4 degrees hotter 12 thousand years ago and collapsing the ice without humans affecting the environment why would it be different now? What caused it to go 4 degrees hotter back then? I’m not saying I have the answer but just curious at that fact
Dinasour's fart.
Matthewlh You learn this in geography. The earth goes though cooling and warming up eras. Cooling eras are normally longer, but we aren’t going to talk about that. These periods of time take millions of years, the increase of 4 degrees was gradual and it took a really long time.
The problem with climate change is that, the earth’s temperature increased with over 1 degree Celsius from the 1800s. That’s around 218 years. The planet is warming up too quickly because our actions have consequences. We are helping global warming.
Depressed Bish. Global warming is a scam you know that right? Al gore has admitted to this and everyone’s falling for it. Yes the earth has gotten slightly warmer that’s a fact but it’s so minor that it won’t affect the earth atmosphere in the next millions of years.
Matthewlh please give me sources
Ok but what will happen if those fuel in earth not been used? Will they evaporate???
