However, are the solutions’ worse than the actual problems. Elites, governments and transnational organisations have in recent years shown a distinct propensity towards totalitarian approaches. The WHO is right now trying to position itself as the global authority for pandemic declaration and response, including mandatory measures. The UK is currently experiencing significant turmoil due to the imposition of the ULEZ scheme, regardless of broad public opposition. Government failures in border control, and in some cases massively increased immigration programs, are creating absolute havoc and widespread citizen anger.
Governments almost universally have discarded their obligations to citizens and have gone into wholesale corruption and kleptocracy. And now, with a history of terrible decisions, lies to citizens, gaming the system, and bowing to elite interests, you expect anyone to take anything government does seriously EVs, failure. Grid changes, failure. Alternative energy supply, failures and massive wealth transfers from taxpayers to elites. And these examples never end. The climate predictions are not absolute, experts’ are not absolute truth holders, and elites in private jets just can go and get stuffed.

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.

Water Level of the Seas & Oceans would go 1m Higher. . You're kidding me.
Well if someone is getting treated/living well, then they would definitely lack an understanding of what it to be on the middle or lower shelf level.
& probably you're wondering right. I'm talking about the governments.
I don't think they would ANYTHING. not all though. They might keep themselves & their higher authority friends. Happier. But common people like US, we WILL suffer, if not now then in near future. we will.
I think GLOBAL WARMING is something to Humans, like the ASTEROIDS was to Dinosaurs.
We ourselves have contributed into this Global Warming, & therefore we ourselves need to fix it. There's no one there for help.
It's not a movie. so we mustn't except an happy ending, rather WE ourselves should do something.

If we do nothing then the earth will rebalance itself
Stop the clinate change fearmonging
The only one making things worse are companies who destroy the environment then lobby government so that people have to make sacrifices instead of the 1%
Celebrities on private jets that lecture you one your CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions that actually cause mass greening and rebalance the environment
Plants need CO2 to grow what do you think will happen if you reduce a species food supply
If you wanna reduce CO2 then let the plants grow. Give tax incentives that motivate people to grow on their land.
This video is a joke

TLDR:
If it's bad, it's man-made climate change and weather is climate change related only when it fits the narrative.
If people actually wanted to fix this and not just gain power and money from peddling the fear of it, they'd further nuclear power and carbon capture and they'd go after the actual polluters in the world because for some reason coal power is okay as long as you windmills.

I think it’s interesting to see both sides of this, the current future versus the one we can create. This needs to be advertised more, because even basic consumerism can be turned around to help us all leap into action, due to the fact that 25 years is only a quarter of a century, which is closer than any of us might think. It’s no joke anymore, and people need to realize that.

A salesman sells you a cursed hammer. Every time you use it, one person dies. By the time you figured this out, you've already hammered 100 lives away.
When you confront the salesman, he gives you two options: keep using the deadly hammer, or stop building altogether.
He doesn't want you to realize you can just buy a normal hammer from someone else.

WW3 is what we are heading towards.
Because we need to do something. We don't.
Living in fear and trying to tell the future is why humans are in a mess now.
WW3 will bring destruction you can never imagine. More carbon in the atmosphere when nukes are dropping from everywhere.
Stop with the fear mongering.

imagine doing this and still assuming the same neoliberal society would persist with its countries, governments, schools and grocery stores and such. That's ideology. You live in a regime that is contingent on historical material circumstances. Historical conditions change and the regimes change also.

Remember, it doesn't do any favours to the world if you become too panicked or give up hope or go the opposite route and think this video exaggeration and dont fight enough.
We need to be cautious. But we cant give up hope, for if we do, we might as well die now.

By 2050, I'll be 50 years old. I'll be vulnerable to heat strokes during the 35th hottest summer in a row.
Renewable energy is cheaper than fossil.
Net Zero is possible and easier than Big Oil would have you believe.

By 2050 the myth of CO2-mediated climate catastrophism will seem like such a weird anachronistic delusional phase that the planet went through for a few mad years, like the Dancing Plague in the Middle Ages.

We need robust universal public transport worldwide and get half or more cars off the roads. Make walkable and bikeable cities great again. I want to hear more birds singing, see deer in cities, see bugs come back.

It already crosses 45 deg in Delhi
Now more issues
1. We might start living in bunkers due to uncontrollable AI
2. Unstable govt due to less and less job opportunity
Who knows what else.

I hate the fact that that the countries and people who are the least responsible for all of this, are the ones who are most affected by it.
Like indigenous peoples or people from island nations

4: 08 Currently Electric Cars are more harmful to the environment that ICE Cars.
The best approach in order to protect the environment is to keep your old car running for as long as possible.
