It's the end of the world!!!!! Yeah we've been saying this since the start of mankind. Predicting the future is a very risky thing to do. Back in the 70s and 80s we were supposed to be heading for an ice age. So whilst today it's warming. I think let's just see. I doubt it. The earth has been hotter than it is now. We won't get desperate we will just move into another scare.
@user-tp4ii6hs3l Says:
God dammit. I thought I had found an intelligent channel, and then I get to this video. The part of the graph you point out as evidence of global temperature changes changing in relationship to human behavior is actually the control line set by either NOAA or NASA. They set 1951-1980 as the 0 temperature anomaly because the time before World War II is a period where global temperature values can't be fully trusted. Of course the temperature anomaly's will move up and down relative to this control line, and then ultimately rise in relationship to this zero line. This is why the years before are negative anomaly, even though they were surely warmer than a variant of earth that didn't have industrialization. Sigh and unsub. This science is so simple and openly available that it makes everything else you post come into doubt as manipulative. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/?intent=121

Lifting alumina with a supersonic jet of super heated steam into the stratosphere using a nuclear heat source over the polar regions, trapping it with the vortexes, should be fairly easy. Vulcanoes have been doing it for a while now. Dropping the temperature in the polar regions increases sea ice cover and enhances reflectivity, lowering temperature even more. Colder poles enhances sea currents, thereby pumping more hot water away from the tropical regions, sucking power out of cyclones. Alumina fallout in the polar regions is harmless and increases reflectivity even more. This is the way!
@peterjames424 Says:
I've followed you for years but this video is mostly ill-informed BS. Warming does not follow CO2 levels but the other way round. Don't cherry pick a few decades, look back over thousands of years.
@pn2543 Says:
@20:00 'bottom line - stratospheric aerosol injection is a stopgap measure', exactly, to allow for the transition to nuclear and solar/wind. This is a great argument for Geoengineering, which is inevitable, since it is so cheap and effective. Joe Scott, Kurzgesagt, and other Geoengineering Youtube essayists could learn something from this video.
@paranoid9678 Says:
sry but my problem with nuclear is we dont have a solution for it wasted sinze we started to use it its like living in a house without a toilet and shitting into bags, at one point you will step on one also many nuzclear plants are way to old i mean i will not trust a 40 year old car to be save but at the same time they try to make us belive it is save to run a power plant that should be out of commission 20 years ago nuclear waste includes not only fuel rods but also contaminated objects such as old pipes, valves, connections, cooling water, tools machines.... you wont find any fuel rods in these yellow barrels that other we also need to get rid off it is nice how he showed co² as a graphic but not about nuclear waste so how many km³ of nuclear waste have we accumulated worldwide since the 1960s 10 - 20km³? you just have to look at Prypjat and all the machines that were used to clean up there and are now radiating radioactivity for decades, all of this stuff is considered nuclear waste the time in which we have entire reactors or barrels sunk in the sea is long over and laying everything underground in the hope that in 100 years there won't be a leak that contaminates the groundwater cannot be the solution building his future on just hope is certainly one of despair also i still belive planting some tree is better then to bloue yourselt to a steet or a truck its also better then just sitting arront and protesting like friedays for future dose........

Let’s stimulated volcanic eruptions so people will be ok with spraying sulfates into the upper atmosphere.
@landscapesandmotion Says:
Nuclear (including the holy grail: fusion) are infinitely cheaper to build and maintain than having a planet that can’t support human life at its current and growing population.

@CreatingRealityoutube Says:
What if virtual reality authoritain dystopia is the dsytopia of star trek before qe got warp drive... THE SHOW WAS RIGHT OMG!!!! They assumed theye was a war and the planet fell into a dark age. I think it was nuclear. Anyways if it was nuclear myabe the histrians were wrong in star trek. What if it was the aersol atmospheric covering. Where people were put into a virtual reality for social contact, breeding programs, and the people who worked lived where they worked. Food was distributed amd tightly comtrolled. This eventually collapses and result in the development of communications technology like subspace. So when the Q showed picard the fourts of the past that was loterally the working class that produced everything for food. While the planet was restored. Super cool. So what we need to do is revamp the star trek series with thinderfoot as the creative director. So we can create an army of nerds... Weher is dun fidnd raiser?
@Engy_Wuck Says:
the problem with a geoengineered temporary(!) stop to global warming: some people would use it as "reason" to put even more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere instead of using the engineered reduction as a stopgap measure . So in my opinion we should only use it *after* we have solved the problem and already are on a sustainable CO2 emission level, to battle the decades of long-term effects. If we use it at all.

I told you so.
@LurkStarKing Says:
So where's all the source data for this or is it suddenly not important
@krzysztofrodak876 Says:
13:52 Denmark, Belgium, Germany - 3 EU countries with highest price of electricity. By chance - what is the relationship with number of "green" and of "renewable energy" wind turbines in there (also closing down NPPs ) ? Or maybe there is other reason for such high prices?
@FirstLast-cg2nk Says:
As a time traveler from the year 3026, I can tell you how global warming was solved. Around 2100 AD, we figured out how to resurrect the dead. Then, we dug up all the corpses of the people who were alive from 1960 to 2050, and then forced them to work on fixing the problem they caused until they died, then brought them back over and over again. As they inflicted suffering on future generations, future generations inflicted suffering upon them.

@alanc7368 Says:
Climate alarmism is bad. Fear mongering is bad. Fossil fuels have improved quality of life for humans, enormously, and way more than just powering our vehicles. Continuous improvement is a natural part of our existence and there's no reason to think that humanity can't continue to solve problems. The effort that we're witnessing from our political idiots to scare everyone is bull shit, and just gets in the way of using good rational thinking and reasoning to come up with solutions.

Sea rise is not the problem, its the ice age that follows.
@christopherpardell4418 Says:
My concern with the SAI solution is that it will reduce the pan evaporation rate. And that means less rain, which will mean less fresh water. And we already are having a fresh water crisis. The pan evaporation rates is directly tied to solar flux… Not temperature. The pan evaporation rate has been dropping because of pollutants and the only time its been shown to recover somewhat was during the shutdown of the airline industry over the US which resulted in a local increase on the pan evaporation rate. So what good does it do us to slow global warming if the only solution results in a world wide drought?
@Defensive_Wounds Says:
18:50 sounds an awful lot like in the 1970s when climate scientists thought the world was in for a new ice age and their solution was to spray the arctic and Antarctic ice with coal to absorb heat and melt the ice to warm the planet...hmmmm, what if, they did that and this is the cause for where we are today all along?? Interesting idea?

There's no hope of any changetaking placenot even acknowledgy there is a problemis possible until somehow the government and media are no longer owned by the people profit team from the fossil flow fuels.
@derpydears2693 Says:
Our current costs calculations on nuclear are quite meaningless, for no country that I could find has proper nuclear waste disposal factored in to production costs. This makes me think of the nuclear as turning our carbon pollution problem into a solid nuclear waste problem. Which in all reality could be a better problem to have.
@interstellarphred Says:
Based on this narrative, I now ponder whether it is better to boil water with the already manufactured fissile material, as opposed to wait to deploy it for some involuntary urban renewal.

@ciaranhughes1199 Says:
I'm pretty new to the channel and I've liked it so far. You are preaching to the choir with me though, I've been following McPherson for an age and trying to read data as best I can since 2000 and something. I'm firmly of the opinion that humanity is screwed, the dolphins will be thanking us for the fish and sodding off any day now. Exponential change is a tough mofo for us linear humans to grasp and even those that get it have blind spots. I think your timeline for doom is off. No one seems to be looking at the problem heuristically as part of the human experience. Economics, politics and human fears all have a part to play. I think the last human will be born this decade. I don't think it will be climate change that does for us, but instead it will be the failure of civilisation caused by climate change and other factors. I think we're living in that space. We have had the fall of one large nation in recent years due to climate change exacerbating financial and political issues, Syria. Many southern countries having been screwed by the 'West' and capitalism for the last 40 years now do not have the resources or political means to respond to crop failures, floods, droughts and other climate driven disasters. This is leading to mass migration into richer countries. In many cases these countries (such as the UK) are already economically f**ked thanks to decades of asset striping by the 1%. This mass of people is stressing already fragile institutions. Insurance companies are folding so each year less damage is going to be fixed adequately if at all. Food isn't going to get any cheaper and people are already malnourished in supposed 1st world countries. Mean while we have private jets delivering folk from one side of LA to the other side of LA This is already spiralling and its going to get worse, exponentially. I'm old enough to remember the start of the climate 'debate'. Geo-engineering was a pie in the sky, if we really really have to, last ditch hail mary. Not only was/is the science shaky our ability to model particles on the scale required is near impossible. Even the most ardent supporters agreed getting the political will globally to commit to a never ending global project was going to be tricky. It's a testament to how actually screwed we are that serious people are now going "Maybe...?"
@FntX-Video Says:
Unfortunately there are a lot of people in the comments here who did not understand the explanation. Putting aerosols in the atmosphere is not the solution, it is the explanation for why the industrialization era showed no real sign of warming or cooling. We then began to put even more CO2 in the atmosphere without much pollution. This is where things went noticeably wrong. You either have the choice of clean hot air or some sort of a nuclear winter - our we get the emissions of greenhouse gases under control and we could just about make it. If I read through the comments I can tell you all: We are not the generation(s) which are f*cked but sure is that the generations in 100 years from now on sure are swearing on us ignorant apes.
@Dr.Cosmar Says:
"If you are watching this video when it goes up, it probably won't be in your lifetime" - ~1:20 What?? Ok... Say this slowly for the degree holder who got indoctrinated. Global Warming Is Not Real Even If The World Is Getting Hotter We Will Adapt Because It Has Been MUCH!!!! Hotter And Humans Were Alive Then There was also significantly more biodiversity and speciation. Yeah, forgive me for being rude, but global warming is just a scam on governments. Aided by institutions and fueled by smart people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
@rclewis01 Says:
They have already started with starlink and other short-lived satellites. There are over 5500 of them now and they only have a 5 year life. They burn them up in the stratosphere and they are 1 to 2000 lbs of mostly aluminum...which will vaporize. They plan on over 40,000. That would be about 4,000 tons per year or more. Not enough to halt the warming, but it will slow it down some. So, they are geoengineering right now and the people are paying for it by ordering and using starlink. But, the people don't know it so, SHHHH, don't tell them.

@techLiteracy_ Says:
Before we get clean energy solutions, we simply shouldn’t expect a dip in global temperature, it’s basically a measurement of progress as long as we burn stuff
@christoskettenis880 Says:
Let me make a (probably) stupid suggestion: every new, fossil-fuel-based, power station dig a deep hole underground and divert its emissions there instead of the atmosphere. They can do this after they pass these flue gases from heat exchangers to retrieve the extra heat and use it to partially heat up city water and then dump all that CO2 underground where won't increase the carbon footprint. Moreover, the old infrastructure will gradually get decommissioned and new ones will become like I said, along with solar-thermal and nuclear stations
@TJ-W Says:
This channel is a joke, right?
@Gnefitisis Says:
I was familiar with this concept before, but I like the implication from this video- adding an additive to commercial airliner fuel supplies. This could be agnostic, so to say an international standard, spreading the cost internationally, but also easy to control, just a few major suppliers of jet fuel world-wide. It may lead to some localized acid-rain near airports, due to landing and takeoff, and maybe some engine corrosion but its a starter!
@miseseconomics Says:
Nuclear power, trains and metro is the way to go. It looks like media and is the root to any solutions, first they claim Musk is a genius with his dumb ideas and then they spread lies about nuclear power.

@ChasingDifferentAdventures Says:
In California there are the Mohave Mirrors that turn hawks and Eagles into instant Rotisserie cook birds and Fall. That's due to Solar projection to the Towers I remember it being over 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Now the articles say 3,000. Anyway, the projection of Heat Caused High Atmospheric Pressure.. weather girl or guy means heat, thus no rain, and caused the Droughts in California. I would comment on this and I think they shut these down and last year 2023 the same rains and snow fall of 1983. On 16:00 scene of video you mentioned carbon dioxide. The 1980's were very Smoggy in Los Angeles, an I didn't need Sun Glasses, because the Smog would filter the Sun and the Summer high was 85 degrees Fahrenheit ( 29.444 Degrees Celsius ), and Rained none Stop from November to April and sometime May. Clean the Air and in September 2021 in Downtown LA it was a Record that doesn't exist anymore 126 degrees Fahrenheit ( 52.222 degrees Celsius ) I think they shut them Mirror down because for 3 years I kept commenting on Different YouTube Channels about them... and Finally it did rain and it's cooler this year, and getting more rain. I'm a Proud owner of a 2022 Roush Mustang a will never sell her 👨🏻👍🏻🏎🏎🏁🏁🚩🚩
