Місяць томуWhat could our future world look like if we continue to do nothing about climate change? Take a look at the possibilities.
--
While we’re already feeling the devastating effects of human-caused climate change, governments continue to fall short on making and executing emissions pledges that would help thwart further warming. So, what will our world look like in the next 30 to 80 years, if we continue on the current path? Shannon Odell offers a glimpse at Earth's possible future.
Lesson by Shannon Odell, directed by Sofia Pashaei.

Progress is moving so slowly because most people in power, like CEOs and politicians, are old. They'll be long dead before they need to confront the consequences of their own actions, and thus, their eyes are only laid upon money. I expect to see the rate of climate progress slowly get faster and faster as older leaders die and are replaced with new ones who WILL need to face the climate crisis. Political and economic action is miserably slow right now, but I don't think it will stay this way for much longer.

The more I hear the more I just want an empty life so I can die peacefully without worrying about the future for any family. There’s been times I would have liked to have children, but if they are anything like me they will worry about their future prospects too much. What happens to us is out of our control, and realistically we’re not going to turn this situation around without conflict and disasters making it happen. Current global leaders aren’t doing enough and in certain cases making life a lot worse. Fundamentally we need suitable weather for farming and living, and if the climate becomes more unpredictable it will create a lot of hardship and no easy solution. Yes life will go on, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

The worst part of climate change is that the first people to be hurt will be those with the smallest margins and minimal safety nets, people like subsistence farmers and reef fishermen. Meanwhile, people in the U.S. will still be complaining about "high" gas prices (that are still lower than what most of the world pays), emissions regulations, "unsightly" wind turbines and solar farms, and refuse to participate in international agreements in the name of national sovereignty. And before someone tries to claim that China and India are bigger problems, India consumes less than half the energy the U.S. consumes, despite having more than four times the population. China does consume more energy than the U.S., but the U.S.'s per capita consumption is more than 2.5 times higher; most of China's energy goes to the industrial sector, while less than one-third of U.S. energy goes to industry, and the U.S devotes more one-quarter of its energy to transportation, which is a small sliver of China's energy usage. Yes, China and India have serious environmental issues to contend with, but the U.S.'s contribution to emissions is very disproportionate to its population, so it has a disproportionate responsibility to combat climate change.

A couple years ago it reached 40 degrees in Canada on Vancouver island. This may not sound like a lot to hotter countries but to the people and animals here it was devastating. Fish floated dead in lakes, people left water out for birds and wildlife which struggled not to die on the side of the road from the heat wave. It was bad for the people too, who are accustomed to ranges of -10 to 20 degrees Celsius. A significant portion of our seniors could not cope with the sudden change in temperature and died. Hospitals were overrun by the younger generation which did not die but still suffered heat strokes due to not everyone being able to afford a/c and biologically not being climatized to such high temperatures. (We are talking about people who go around in shorts in 5 degree weather, they’re used to producing and retaining heat, not dispersing it.) It was a record breaking temperature for the area. It could have been a freak incident but if we continue as we are I’m sure eventually it will be normal and we will lose a large fraction of our wildlife. If the change happens to quickly we may continue to see people die because they simply can’t cope with a temperature flux that far out of their bodies normal.

Also in 1970, the Boston Globe ran with a chilling headline, “Scientist Predicts A New Ice Age By 21st Century.” In the associated article, researcher James Lodge warned, “Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century if population continues to grow and earth’s resources are consumed at the present rate…” The reality is none of these experts can predict the future. The Earth and its weather patterns/climate are driven more by natural occurrences in nature than man. The Earth’s tilt on its axis changes over a 23,000 year cycle that dramatically impacts the impact of the sun. The sun changes. The Teutonic plate of the Earth continue to shift. Volcanoes happen. The oceans absorb and release CO2 in a pattern that is not fully explainable. All these things impact the Earth and its climate yet there are always the Chicken Littles yelling the sky is falling and if you will give us enough money we will fix it. Complete arrogance of man.

Climate change is a complex issue and there is no telling exactly what the future will be like. And I worry that we are being too narrow minded for what the solutions for this crisis should be. For Arizona, the environmental problems we have been facing have come from wasteful activities from both California and our state draining water from the Colorado River. Alarmism isn't going to help if there aren't concrete solutions for saving the environment.

“Global warming” cannot be taken literally; it is not just about temperatures getting warmer. The biggest impact of global warming on humans is actually that the greenhouse effect intensifies the instability of the global climate system, thereby greatly increasing the occurrence of extreme weather. For example, the super cold wave will appear in central Canada, northern United States and other places in February 2023. Super heavy rains occurred in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China in July 2023. The most severe sustained drought on record occurred in the Brazilian Amazon from July to September 2023. So for the sake of your own life, start paying attention to environmental protection.

Energy efficiency increase 8% per year. Transition off fossil trade by 2030. Cut fossil trade licenses and permits 2% of today's level per month down to zero by 2030, to motivate transition in time. Avoid methane emission by keeping it in the ground when possible, capturing it to use if necessary, flaring it if unavoidable. Scrap fossil-emitting equipment as soon as possible so it can't be used elsewhere. Harvest and plant biomass equivalent to a trillion trees by 2060.

The passage highlights the dire consequences of human-caused climate change if current emissions pledges and actions are not significantly improved. By 2050, we have surpassed the 1.5-degree warming target, leading to a world where extreme heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, heavy rainfall, and sea level rise have become the norm. The effects are felt globally, with regions facing food and water scarcity, mass displacement, extinction of marine life, and economic hardships. The passage emphasizes the need for urgent and bold actions to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, such as investing in renewable energy, reducing fossil fuel production, protecting forests, and implementing policies to regulate emissions. While the future looks bleak in the absence of substantial changes, there is still hope that collective action and innovative solutions can help reshape a more sustainable path forward.
