Is It Too Late To Stop Climate Change? Well, it's Complicated.

We created our first app ‘Universe in a Nutshell’, together with Tim Urban of Wait but Why! You can get it here: Appstore: kgs.link/universe-app-ios Google Playstore: kgs.link/universe-app-android

Make more videos about pollution and how can we solve it. If I was Elon I’d have made Electric aircrafts and clean energy resources for agriculture rather than making space ships to live in mars

The music sound like Simcity soundtrack

yeah... If it' s actually bad for us. Some real scientists are worried that we are going to freeze because Ice age can come and low levels of CO2 was verry alarming, so in the end releasing co2 into the atmosphere where it naturally belong saves our planet from becoming an Earth-snowball.

Climate change is the natural order of the earth watch it gonna get really hot then its gonna be another ice age

Shut up

'..more efficient ways..' Shows Iron Man suit 4:20

in a perfect scenario, all countries should unite, and work same minded. But since humanity is selfish, it won't happened. So, it's only a dream, utopia. Well, the only reason why all humanity can unite, is unnatural. By some 3rd party force

7:50 Now that's what I call creativity.

energy, it is actually one of the cleanest and most effective energies, in short, greetings from Argentina 3

even if it is real, do you REALLY think you can stop china and india? you naive ****? they want the living standarts we had for 100 years, as fast as possible now that they have the opportunity, and you will not even ripple a finger of theirs to stop them lmao

Well ! Prepare for the worse! There is no time to jump off the The Climate Heat Train. While renouncing all of a sudden to fossil fuels could send the world in chaos probably war and nuclear war, there is no time to invent the Salvation Technology. Probably the temperature will rise so drastically that only a few will be able to shelter in underground bunkers prepared early, of course the rich ones.

CLIMATE CHANGE COMES FROM A WORLD WHERE AIR CONDITIONING HAS BECOME CHEAP. SO CHEAP THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE ADAPTED TO ARTIFICIAL ENVIRONMENTS , WHEN THEY STEP INTO REAL CLIMATE THE EFFECTS ARE FELT MORE. FACT IS THAT THE LAST 30 YEARS OF RECORDED WEATHER IS A MIRROR TO 1880 TO 1910. ALSO REMEMBER ICE HAS BEEN MELTING SINCE THE WORLD CAME OUT OF A NUCLEAR WINTER IN THE ICE AGE.

how about other greenhouse gases like methane which has been said to be an even bigger culprit behind climate change? we can also grow more trees, restore natural habitats, and less meat....

Anyone wanna write a summary

emmm，maybe thanos is right？

basically people be sleeping on nuclear

It annoys me how mind-numbingly simple it is to solve most of society’s problems but that everyone that is in a position to make significant change are too lazy or selfish to do anything in that direction.

this desc is the bigest ive ever seen

hmmm... 4:20 that is cocomelon with pewdiepie's face on it.

It's not about Growth, it's about Consumption..

corona virus is keeping us from driving? yea right. and being home more is more energy used

8:10 Innovation of Pokeballs really that long and destructive? Haha surprise surprise, it's an allusion

👏👏

I think coronavirus is kinda helping nature. Balancing... amount of people... produced.

Awesome explanations and Hope to improve some day that we decrease CO2 as much as next generations could live live healthy.

Agree on most of this for the sake of the enviroment.. but we cannot stop the climate from changing. The climate has been changing ever since earth had a climate and it will keep on changing long after we humans are gone. Even if we humans go 100% "green" the climate will change at the same rate as before.

Theses companies are all doing it for money, but they’re so delusional they can’t think 5 minutes into the future they only think about the present and it’s really making me mad and I’m not the type of guy to get mad about these things but it’s so stupid they need to be taxed or be taken out of business there needs to be a law to stop these tyrants. I hear on the news by 2050 so and so will have no co 2 output but we don’t have that time we need to act so companies like team trees please donate to them or you will regret it for the long run.

I wanna know if the Paris climate agreement is doing anything to save the planet

You know, crystals can actually be an extremely efficient renewable energy source. These crystals are called piezoelectric crystals such as quartz, amethyst, tourmaline and topaz ect. They can generate energy by applying a charge, physical stress, or heat. And they never “run out” of energy charge because they never had a charge to begin with, The end of a crystal’s life is when it is broken or destroyed, otherwise it can generate electrical power forever. As a wiccan, I learn a lot of the magnificent power of crystals. They are not just used for magic or medicinal purposes. Sometimes we gotta look past what mundane society tells us, and see what nature has generously provided us with to improve our living whilst protecting our dear planet.

if we erase 80% of humanity Thanos Style maybe

We already know how to stop climate change. What I would like to know, is why we don't do it. I mean, an accurate analysis of what prevents us to just stop this.

I read somewhere that using the solar energy that falls onto 1% of the Earth's surface would allow us to power the entire world for many decades. Are we as a species really this dumb that we can't come together to build some damn solar panels and end the energy insanity? Totally. We're lazy and greedy and bound to collapse soon.

gg brothers.

I have a soluion C R E A M

Thx.

I presented this to my class in a different language and got an A. Thanks Kurzgesagt!

I love these science vids. I'm playing with the srs tool app to get answers to these important issues from the other side LOL Just in time for Halloween 🎃 🤪

Yeah humans have definitely f**ked our planet. We are a literal virus ruining it. We need to reduce human population drastically and reduce fossil fuel use

I love these climate change episodes, I wouldn't mind having more on other topics related to it. Thank you for the fabulous content!!

As a 13 year old, i’ve accepted the fact that I won’t live even half of my life due to this bad environment my generation will inherit in the future🙃 I’ve got to admit, it is scary

Could you do a video about the impact of individual and collective action? Many videos focus on high-level policy but we, consumers and voters, are the largest polluters and have the most power to change things.

People set goals for the future and when we don’t meet the goals, people will just say, “no worries, we’ll just set more!”

please do a video about hemp (not cannabis , of course) and how it can help the climate crisis (hemp eco fuel , hemp paper , hemp clothes , hemp plastics) ps : I love your videos!!

Economic growth is about being more productive and producing more of what people need to live a better live. Unfortunately petrol is still the most efficient energy source. Aparently nuclear energy is far better, but people are scared. Wind and solar are interesting but they will no make up for fossil fuel. People usually have no idea how much energy does it take to melt steel. We are still highly dependable on fossil.

Ohh man! I left Carbon footprint watching this video🥴

On 0:12 there is a little card saing duck news

Nice detail that Paris will be the first city rioting - some things never change...

we just need China to keep pouring out Viruses like it usually does to lower the population, problem solved

japan decided to throw away fukusima radioactive water in the ocean. The sea is not unique to Japan. So we need to do whatever we can to stop this country's selfish and barbaric behavior. Although this water is said to be purified, it is really wrong because it is not perfect and has a lot of it.(1230000ton) History repeats itself. This will be the last chance the Earth will give us. Please make a copy of this article and upload it on SNS for once. Please. We can stop that barbaric behavior.

This is so childish, Bill Gates has disgraced himself with this garbage. The video statement: "we have known for some time that CO2 causes rapid climate change" is a complete misrepresentation. the truth is that climate scientists have known for even longer that climate change is driven by a very complicated mix of hundreds of factors and the greatest factor according to the IPCC is the Milankovitch Cycles. As for CO2 levels....well they are lower now than at virtually any other time throughout the history of the planet.

That's funny. It doesn't sound that complicated to me. It just sounds like the answer is a resounding "Yes, it is too late." We are on the final burn of civilization, and here out, it crashes. I'm glad I'm middle-aged so I saw a wonderful world (even coral reefs before they mostly died) before we squirted billions of babies for no reason. Now we have 7.8 billion of us and growing... What a stupid species! The sight of a baby anymore makes me almost gag. It's so disgusting. I love the hopium at the end "It is still very much possible". What a crock of bullshit. They can't make a video like this without the self-delusion crap at the end, though, can they. That's sad.

I mostly disagree with this video. Renewable energy technology has been around since the 80s we do not necessarily need to innovate. The oil industry and its grasp on politics have prevented a transition for their own benefit and nobody else. We suffer as a result of our dependence on fossil fuels we do not need fossil fuels to develop and improve standard of living. This is a myth invented by the fossil fuel industry.

for all i know that this dude likes birds.

I'd like a video that explains why all our plastic waste ends up floating in the ocean, even if we put it in the recycling bin.

핵폐기물에 대한 답이 없는 핵발전소는 더 이상 다음 세대에 남겨주면 안 됩니다. 10만년간 안전하게 보관할 장소도 없지만 안전하더라도 10만년간 보관하는 비용까지하면 경제적이지도 않죠. 우리가 에너지로 쓰고 다음 세대에는 생명을 위협하는 쓰레기...여러분 어떻게 생각하시나요? 구석기시대 사람들이 생명을 위협하는 쓰레기를 남겨 지금도 보관하고 있다면 우리는 그 사람들을 어떻게 생각할까요?

I would like to know more about economics

What this video misses entirely is the plants adapting to higher CO2 levels and starting to consume more of it. Each plant species itself will adapt, and also the ratio between more CO2-consuming plants and less CO2-consuming ones will change.

I think the big companies are to blame for most of this

demoralizing..

I love your videos keep going

I remember 10 years ago that millionaire scientists (Obviously paid by oil companies) tried to deny climate change with tests and 90% believed them, why not? they brought the best in the world, why would they lie to us ??, here are the consequences of not having believed the few scientists who did not silence and speak the truth ... we are doomed, humanity is very stupid... we are the product of our own ignorance.

İzledim

we need to do more research to fusion energy if we can make that efficiently we have taken a big step

just use condom during sex to stop reproduction and stop having sex without protection or condom

Fan fact:People are always saying funfact

Yes, it's too late.

Here's an unpopular opinion, Whos to say people will outlive covid to even make it to those few years we have left due to climate change. It will be a small group of the human population left to work with the remaining of what we so claimed the human specie abolished--which is power, energy. It cost a fortune while we are here but the small selected survivors I insist will not be working with wages or budgeting. Its like charging a Stranded survivor rent on an abandoned Island---Who would???? That's the thing they wouldn't . So think BIGGER you guys. I

How to stop climate change? Most of the world: Increase energy efficiency and take action to reduce CO2 emissions America: Climate change isn’t real

*Use Ecosia the search engine* Every 45 searches on average plants a real tree on the planet!! 🌱🌳🌴🌲🌿

Wait don't trees absorb CO2 And bring back Oxygen? So would a 0 CO2 world cause no oxygen. I know too much CO2 is definetly bad but would 0 CO2 cause no Oxygen

1 weakness of the entire logic: Germany, Japan and many others build the new coal plants, why if they need to change into reneval? something does not add here

holy fuck dude...if they created the more energy efficent products then the fucking bills and the fucking numbers of energy needed should go down...are they? cause in my country they rise year by year the biggest problems here are the corporations, cause for them the entire idea is a bad deal, so we all pay for them to change production, then it will be them who get the benefits...great idea...shame it is great for them only...

Good luck with the volcano's & the methane in the permafrost :)

05:20, why not animate chemtrails into your animation? Are you racist?

If you have carbon catching plants. Why not build a 100.000 of them?

Thank God it is not the sun and ocean cycles that have the most influence in these cycles.

fusion.

I want to know, in your opinion, how should I live in order to make a difference?

Global Warming Catastrophe depends on when the next "Volcanic Cycle" begins. As of right now we are in "Cold" cycle. A normal non-hominid volcanic cycle would again and again and once again bury the state of Florida under water. So what is global warming? If the next Volcanic Cycle begins in the next couple centuries along with all that methane (PooP) frozen at the bottoms of our oceans warms up, then life in Bangladesh comes to an end.

The real problem is the rich billionaires who want to have all the power and make our world modern egypt with them being the pharaohs. They want to enslave us all. They've already done the first step: Create a system where they can corrupt everything and use their wealth to take over everything. Why do you think our public education is so terrible? We don't even learn history until later in our lives! It's just "social studies". Kids should be learning about Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley! It's the system, all our presidents are just bribed pawns for the rich. The Next step for world domination is to gain extreme wealth. They've already done most of this.(Looking at you, jeff bezos, with your net worth of 175 billion and gates, with your net worth of 110 billion, pretending to donate to charity when you're just giving to the bill and melinda gates foundation, pretemding to be wonderful, caring people when you guys are sick monsters). Now we get to climate change. Rich people are making cuts to the quality of their products. Cars get heavier, making more smoke. More coal plants. the rich are burning up our planet and are using capitalism and bribery to brainwash us and destroy our planet. For the next-to-last step, the rich must globalize our currency. Once they rule american currency, they will make our currency global, but they will call it something else and say that this new currency will get rid of poverty, when in fact, it will only spread their rule to every corner of the planet. How will they do global currency? Digitize it. Look at our coin shortage blamed on the fake pandemic(this isn't a lie, they've been counting death as covid deaths if there is -traces- of covid in them). look at credit cards. a digitized noney can be taken away from us if we disobey their will. Our food, our homes, taken if we do not obey. And for the final step: To dominate the world. And the darkest thing about this is that they've already done this step. I'm sure plenty of us have worried how to feed their families. I'm sure plenty of people are working at mcdonalds, or living in an apartment. We are slaves to our wages, our money, our need for food. The rich control our lives, our education, our leadership(when was the last time you chose the candidate for president), and most importantly, our laws and our leadership. by controlling these they force their will upon all of us. Police, if you are reading this, please look for the corruption in your organization. Police who are seen sprinkling drugs in peoples cars to frame them, or being racist and charged brown and black people with unfair charges. I Bet you do this out of necessity. If you don't get enough tickets in you will lose your job, your and your families(if you have one) will starve. And why charge those who look like you with unfair charges than those who look different? Power is in numbers. Stop hating each other, stop letting the rich divide you with politics and racism, covid and masks. We need to voice our complaint. remember: the rich are in the one percent- we are the 99. Those of you who are poor, do not blame your suffering on the anti-maskers of the black and brown people. It is the rich's fault. Be kind to your friends, no matter their belief. spread the word of this division, and what we can do to stop our hatred of each other. Care for each other. It is the least you can do to stop climate change, enslavement, plastic in the oceans, and world poverty.

This is why we need green energy more than ever.

Permaculture is the way we can reverse climate change! See the documentary Kids the ground!

There is another theory that we can actually somehow make CO2 good for the environment, though it’s just a theory, unless it’s proven you should not take my word on it.

There is a theory that we were actually once on mars, and that we completely destroyed it. Though I think it’s false because why wouldn’t we add documents or have a bit of knowledge about our pass selves on mars?

Ahhh, the joy of knowing the species if fucked makes me feel better about wasting my life.

a very great take as always (I'll be using this topic for an assignment so it's really helpful)

Guys we have to stop this Climate Change and stop making so much pollution like cars,why don't we use electric cars?

I’m starting to realize that we’ve always been the real monsters

you're worrying too much, the earth just need one supervolcano eruption and lives on earth will be rebooted

Thorium reactors and hydrogen powered cars are the answer.

Its not climate change that causes these horrible natural disasters, its 2020

Stop the PSYop

Bobux

cleetus grab the shotgun

you know maybe thannos was onto something

Climate change always existed and always will be. Humans cant stop it, and dont have any influence on it. Stop being stupid.
