Explore how greenhouse gas emissions impact global warming and why it s necessary to get emissions down to net zero. Since 1850, global average temperatures have risen by 1 degree Celsius. That may not sound like a lot, but it is. Why? 1 degree is an average. Many places have already gotten much warmer and if average temperatures increase one more degree, the coldest nights in the Arctic might get 10 degrees warmer. So how did we get here? And what can be done? Explore the challenges of net zero emissions

Just to be clear, Global warming is not a threat to the planet, not really. If we change nothing, the earth will eventually kill us off. Like a virus eradicated by an immune response.
The earth will live on with or without us. It will rebuild just as it has done for billions of years. As it did after the jurassic period, as it did after the ice age.
If we kill all life on earth due to complete negligence and utter disregard. Earth will still be here.
What we do is to secure our own future, and a future for the life that still struggles to survive on this beautiful planet.
We can make paradise, we have the power to do it, if we so choose.

This is also a metaphor for government over reach. My state's energy sources are no longer controlled independently in our state. Since the push to change our energy sources, our state is more dependent on the federal government.
Global Warming is a slow lot but taking over before it happens is what we are seeing here.
We need to kill ourselves to even make any change to global warming.

This is so fake! Plants absorbs CO2. If you want to blame coal, oil, and gas. How about the billions of humans exhaling CO2 out every other second? You want to stop climate change. Start a war and kill off 4 billion people. We will be good for another 100 years and then we will have to do it all over again. It s not the petroleum, it s human beings

If it's such a huge imminent threat, then why don't we hold China to the same standards we hold the first world?
Nobody talks about China's huge coal demand unless somebody gets trapped in a collapsed mine. Again.
Honestly, looks like a ploy to give the chinese a leg up in competing against the free world.

As much as this video is right
West Taiwan still puts out more pollution than the world combined
So no matter what the west or east does
If West Taiwan still goes on like it does now
We all still toast

We are prone to accept death by a thousand little cuts
I got what you did their, Climate change occurs at slow pace and we are accepting the change and a continuous denial that we are at it's root

My first question: WHO BOILS A LIVE VERTEBRATE? And to what end? Cruelty? And if so cruelty to whom? Cruelty to the frogs? Or cruelty to the diners who don t know how frogs legs are made?
reply

Honestly the communication of the actual effects of climate change was very poor in this video. To the non-informed person, 1 C compared to 4 C warming is meaningless and intangible.
reply

The first frog is aliens like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos who have sensed heat and are going to mars.
The second frog is like us humans, on earth, don't sensing heat at all. chilling
