Really appreciate this channel’s effort on trying to dispel doomism.

      This is disingenuous. To lower atmospheric co2 we need to actively absorb co2 out from the atmosphere while the output of co2 is lower than the absorption. So to even see a progress on this chart we need to first achieve net zero.

    So we’ll have green energy but capitalism will be as strong as ever. A solar dystopia. At least there will be a future for us to be shadowrunners in.

    Doomism sure is bad. It’s even worse than us emitting the most co2 ever last year. Stay positive folks!

    Just watched this video myself last night. Really good. His other video on positive tipping points is worth a watch to.

      Keep doing sarcasm like that and we will see +3.4°C turn into +3.8°C.

      If we suddenly decide to stop spewing record amounts of greenhouse gases then we might have a small chance… But that needs to be a quick decline which we have simply not seen.

        It’s not happening. We fly more planes than ever, and we send more container ships around the world than ever. Besides those, CO2 is just one greenhouse gas. Methane is another major contributor to the greenhouse effect.

        Whether we prevent further warming is even kind of a moot point now. We’ve already got a certain

        Then there’s loss of ice cover, which creates a feedback loop of further absorption of sunlight (heat).

        We’re already living in the world created by climate change, and it’s just getting started. It’s clear that our built environment is not prepared for it at all. Who knew that some of the earliest climate refugees in the US would be homeowners who couldn’t get insurance?

        The video above gives false hope. With extreme and increasingly unpredictable weather, it’s only a matter of time until we get a major crop failure. How many of those can the system absorb?

        Don’t forget, all the stuff in the video is being implemented basically to prolong the happy motoring lifestyle. That’s awful for the environment even if it’s EVs
