My favorite part is where he is asked what we can do to stop climate change, and his primary answer is to petition the government to address it. Why? Because big industry will have to be forced to address climate change, they'll not voluntarily do so, and they are the primary source of carbon dioxide. Big industry puts forward that illusion, to avoid compliance themselves. Much like recycling, it's a smoke screen, the creators of plastic items should be responsible for funding recycling, not the consumers.

During the pandemic lockdown, I went back to college remotely and earned my 2nd and 3rd degrees, this time in Environmental Science and Geography. While everyone was focused on diseases and politics, I wanted to focus on what's coming next. One of the aspects that haunted me was the decline of fish populations. 3 billion people rely on the ocean for a dwindling supply of food and commerce _right now._ Just imagine what a nightmare it'll be in a few decades. So enjoy that seafood while you can now, because your grandkids probably won't.

It takes 3 fish of the same size to grow a salmon, tuna, prawn or shrimp, cause they're carnivores, so the easiest option is just to switch to eating the fish currently being caught to be used as food on fish farms. Plenty of them have good flavours & they have less toxic build up too, so more healthy

But thanks to Greta and King Charles we now know the Bible was talking about NOW and climate change. We know that droughts are new, floods are new, earthquakes are new, hurricanes in Florida are all new, shrinking rainforest is new. It’s all due to CO2 emissions of normal working class people. Before 2020 there has never been an illness that could wipe out millions of people. Before 2020 all vaccines were wrong, we now know you are supposed to take vaccines every year. Before 2020 volcanoes earthquakes hurricanes blizzards melting ice floating icebergs that could sink a ship never happened. We all need to get vaccinated against climate change now. CO2 is required by plants and trees. We need to stop CO2 we need stop plants NOW. THE UNITED NATIONS says so. They have all worked together and now we need to do our bit and send world leaders on private planes to all the capital cities to stay at all the luxury hotels to tell us what need to do. There are problems with food supplies and prices are going up.

And that's not even a tenth of it. Search for this study in PLOS "Rapid global phaseout of animal agriculture has the potential to stabilize greenhouse gas levels for 30 years and offset 68 percent of CO2 emissions this century" Cutting out fossil fuels stops emissions which is vital. But phasing out animal ag doesn't just stop emissions - the land it frees up can sequester hundreds of Gigatonnes of carbon, for next to no money.

I am ready for CO2 pricing at the rate it costs to be removed by current CC technoligies. that way we could at least start saving for one day invest in (hopefully) every better CC tech.

The climate has constantly changed throughout the history of the earth and yet, here we are... But this time the rate of change gives me chills. I studied environmental science. I watched many system simulations. Most complex systems seem resilient with slow changes over thousands of years or short glitches, but they tend to collapse in unpredictable ways given fast parameters changes.. A bit like braking or accelerating too quickly on a bicycle, even if there is no problem riding at slow or high speed, on the long run.

That is an example of a typical activist lei though. A scientist would never say that. It is true that on average summers will get hotter, but the random part of how hot a specific summer gets is still multiple time bigger than the impact of climate change. While one summer can randomly be a few degrees warmer or colder than the summer before, climate change is less than 0.1 degrees per year. So a record summer will not be the coldest for the rest of your life.

I came across a presentation by Walter Jehne and in his introduction, he talks about how H2O is the big elephant in the room that plays a significant role in the greenhouse effect but was ignored early on because of how difficult the hydrological cycle is to model with respect to climate change and that President Lyndon Johnson asked that the scientists focus on the effects of carbon so that we could get a quicker estimate of what we were dealing with. The fact that we have more control over carbon than we do the hydrological cycle was also a big part of that since it is usually best to focus on things you can affect. So this is how we end up with the focus on CO2 rather than H2O. Dealing with the hydrological cycle involves our agricultural system and I'm sure you can imagine how change adverse that industry is. But this has been happening for as long as we've been agriculturalist. We desertified Egypt, the Sahara, parts of China, and now California and its moving towards the Midwest. That's the elephant in the room but we keep going on about carbon instead instead of BOTH carbon AND H2O.

6:53 Correction: carbon doesn't have 12 protons and 12 electrons. It's the 6th element, and carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. An atom with an atomic mass of ~12 would fly apart *very* fast if it was just protons in the nucleus. Think of the charge density.

4:13 How much could be caused by farming tillage? Watched "Kiss the Ground" with Woody Harrelson and having grown up on a farm it makes a lot of sense that breaking down the organic matter in the soil could cause a lot of CO2 to be released into the atmosphere. If so it feels like it really could be the fastest immediate way to counter climate change. Would love to hear the thoughts of climate specialists on it.

I have questions: Doesn't rain formation depend on a cold upper atmosphere and ice crystals forming into grapple that falls and melts? If it is hotter in the upper atmosphere how is rain going to form at all? Won't the upper atmosphere expand? Or has it already expanded which is a much larger area for water vapor to expand into? And what about the exploding craters in permafrost areas. I thought that permafrost heating has led to massive bacterial action and a spectacular contribution to methane in the atmosphere. And lastly I have really really wondered how the lack of ozone affects permafrost and the frozen poles. Ice does evaporate. Has anyone studied if different radiations impact the poles and speed ice loss through below freezing evaporation?

I've seen information regarding carbon capture by restoring sea grass which has greatly been impacted by pollutants. Seems simple enough plant more plants and trees. I've seen hemp being used to capture carbon and used with less concrete to create building materials that are flame resist to avoid releasing more carbon. I believe there are solutions and mother nature can provide us with relief we just have to look for them and do something about it.
@iantaakalla8180
@iantaakalla8180 Рік тому
The problem is that we have probably, if not certainly, hit a point of no return where these solution will be far less effective simply because these buffers assume a range of temperatures we will never have again as long as humans live. I mean, we should do them, but at this point there is no hope.
@mehere8038
@mehere8038 Рік тому
@@iantaakalla8180 Thing about carbon in the soil is it holds 70 times it's weight in water, so even if we had hit the point of no return (which I don't think is the case), this is still beneficial, as that carbon catching the water reduces flooding & then it's slow release of that water also reduces droughts, so the further gone we are, the more beneficial it is to get more carbon into the soils all around us & agricultural land & wildfire prone areas (must be under the surface in wildfire areas though, not sitting on the surface under the trees, ready to ignite)
