Climate change is real! We can't have a zero impact! But, climate change physics is junk! They deny history, geology, and any science that won't sell wind and solar crap from China. Learn physics and you will see what real scientists know!

Last year 80 million barrows of oil a day.This year 100 mill. next year 120 mill.a day.ans so on .

Yeah; we should. It's a pointless waste of ressources. We should focus on forecasting, adapting to an increasingly inhospitable world and rapid development to eliminate illiteracy, extreme poverty, unemployment, child mortality, mass migrations, etc., worldwide as fast as possible.

Really sorry Doctor, but you should not be surprised by scepticism towards new scientific findings/theories/ideologies. I am age 70 and remember being taught that the second ice age was coming by 'scientists' like you Dr. In 60 years (a mere scratch in the chart of time) 'science' has made a 180. Incidentally we speak of 'science' in a reverential quasi religious way. It is not an entity in its own right, but discussions on papers written by highly able men and women like your good self, who incidentally disagree, debate and become very personal just like every other human being in their endeavours. If this is a very serious issue, can we not rise to the intellectual level required; also not have ones' scientific papers or job applications rejected because one side or other of the 'argument, has gained the ascendancy and become something other that the outcome of the brightest of humanity working together for the good of humanity?

climate change hoax... fossil fuel is fake, they are not fossil fuel.. what a tool...

This is tragic 😂

Oh what a bunch of bull! You need to take a deep breath and take a long look at the Central England Temperature Record that goes back to the year 1659. On that graph you'll see that theres a one degree C or so increase in temperatures over the past 150 years... and the 150 years or so before that temperatures went down by about the same amount. Whoop-de-doo. Stop wringing your hands and get on with your life!

Nah, the sooner the Anthropocene comes to an end, the better. Make the Cretaceous great again!

negotiations ?? Haaaaaaaa just BS

Instead of climate change let’s talk about weather manipulation!!

What if some Luigis unalived big oil billionaires 🤔

It’s over. We cannot even stop Gaza. Capitalism is in charge.

So how do you deal with a volcano erupting underwater that injects a huge amount of water into the atmosphere? One just happened that changed the moisture content in the atmosphere by more than 10%. This is why 2023 and 2024 were so hot. While c02 does warm the planet water vapor has a much larger effect. Our storm historical knowledge is 150 years old. We have a history of climate adaptation. That's about all humans have ever done. Its presumptuous to conclude every storm is being made worse by C02. Co2 emissions will die a natural death and no hyper climate activism is needed. Vermont had huge flooding in 1927 but floods in 2023 and 2024 were billed as catastrophic when high water levels in 1927 were 7.5" feet higher than 2023 and 2024. 1869 was another huge flood in Vermont in fact Vermont has had more than 20 flooding events in the last 200 years. Most all were before fossil fuels where an issue.

What a year this has been 😬 I got a bit optimistic in September and October but it just seems the bottom 95% just can't have good things 😒

A Climate Change Denier is one that denies the climate changed before it became a political Tool

They all have zoom. Why do they need to fly? Are they not serious about the climate emergency?

It’s time to stop this political nonsense. Europe will not have a future, USA and China are laughing. We should do NOTHING since the relation between CO2 and temperature is logarithmic.

Polar ice melt has not raised sea levels But it has doubled the water vapor in the atmosphere In fact, it has lowered the sun rays, to the earth and also kept the cold night temperature from escaping by the increased water vapor The USGS stop releasing these figure's Why? Everybody knows Why

Net zero is an impossible dream. Welcome to the Real world

we need to cop on...

Prof. Edenhofer (MCC and PIK) “The climate summit in Baku was not a success, but at best the avoidance of a diplomatic disaster. It is now abundantly clear that we need additional negotiation formats for the global fight against the climate crisis. Not all of the almost 200 signatory states to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change necessarily have to sit around the same table for progress to be made. It is now important to link climate financing for the Global South, which was the main topic of discussion in Baku, to emissions reduction in two ways. First, donor states in the wealthy North should mobilise the funds by pricing oil, coal and gas. Second, the money should ideally only flow if the recipient country demonstrably reduces their greenhouse gas emissions. Perhaps such a system can be established at future climate summits, but it is more likely to happen through smaller groups, in so-called climate clubs.”

Fossil fuel lobbyists at a climate conference is like drug dealers attending a meeting for people who want to overcome drug addiction.

Talking and spending a lot of money does not change the climate, nor does Nature give a sh*t about us. Climate Negotiations are an extension of Fossil Capital. You are serving the interests of Fossil Capital by talking & talking What a green colored $H*T $HOW in essence.

Unless fair procedures are instituted, fossil fuel interests and others will continue to transform the COPs into a trade fair. After all, Standard Oil and many others viewed the rise of Nazism and the start of WWII as a business opportunity. Moral action is required, but, unfortunately, morality is hard for us humans.

Adam has 57,000 subscribers. If all of them could manage to cut out just one way they are burning fossil fuels, it would make more of a difference than each of you think you'd make. In a consumer society, those who limit or end their consumption of a product can end that product. It really is as simple as that. Most people aren't even willing to change just ONE thing they do that burns fossil fuels, and that's why we are in this predicament, not COP, or the Paris Agreement, us. The buck quite literally stops with us.

So far the "rich" world thinks they won't be hurt as much as the poor world. Well, it's a single planet, and while we might not be hurt the same way the poorer world will, we WILL be hurt. I expect us in the richer world to be hurt in ways we haven't anticipated. We might just find the poorer world saying " We told you to take it seriously, but you thought you wouldn't be hurt so bad."

Are you a Droid?

Thanks! Congratulations for your Italian! It sounds good.

1:00 "generally understood" Of course there's no evidence for this. Indeed AR6 notes that the Agreement is a legally binding treaty between states, and that its provisions, according to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, are to be interpreted in good faith, in accordance with their ordinary meaning as distilled from reading the relevant provisions in their context and in the light of the treaty's object and purpose. The ordinary meaning of "global average" is the instantaneous value. If they'd meant the average over many years, they would have said how many or even something vague like "long term average". But they didn't. And they said above pre-industrial, and the ordinary meaning of pre-industrial is before 1760 (or sometimes before 1750). And while the 1850-1900 average is often used as a baseline, so is the 1981-2010 period. Now exactly what the difference between pre-industrial and 1850-1900 actually is, is certainly debated, with some saying more than 0.5, and others saying 0.2, there's no one saying that there isn't a difference. And it's not like it's just one exceptionally hot year either. The average over the last 27 months (two and a quarter years) has been more than 1.5 above 1850-1900 (so two and a quarter years of more than 1.7 above pre-industrial)

You need to tell the people the truth Adam. Trump is going to double down on fossil fuels! The feed backs that are going to come from the Arctic will guarantee our future! It is sad but we need to face it!

Excellent video as always! Lots of food for thought here. Thank you for presenting the issues so clearly.

I feel like we are used to saying "so much progress has been made" because we're used to using such a low standard most of the time. But the climate isn't interested in what "significant progress" means to humans. If it's not enough to address the problem, then it's meaningless (at best) to say we've "made great progress." No, we haven't. When the Keeling Curve starts trending downward, THEN we've made ANY progress worth mentioning.

There's a petition you can sign to ban oil lobbyists from attending COPs. Not sure how much good it'll do, but it's worth a try anyway.

As long as negotiations have to reach unanimity, they are practically useless because the most resisting determine the results. Scientists have to define thresholds, and countries which don't accept these have to get thrown out of the negotiations, and these countries have to be blocked from getting any help in the future from the countries remaining in the negotiations, and blocked for all trade (import and export). The blocking countries have to be virtually expelled from Earth.

Lets COP-OUT of COP.

_WE MAKE OUR OWN CLIMATE NEGOTIATIONS_

Yt never shown me this video. And I'm sure I am a subscriber from since much before its release

It's obvious extinction. No big deal. This planet does not need a primate adapted to fire. The other creatures would be better off.

CO2 was dangerously low. It was a good thing that humans put back into the air what plants have been storing for eons. Had CO2 gone below 200 ppm's, all life would have begun to die.

😀

Glad to hear you'll be addressing the latest temperature news as I'm finding it very confusing and contradictory and it feels almost like a cover up. I'd really love to see you address the issue of the melting permafrost and explain to me how we're not already screwed there. Because from what I can find it's being treated very similar to temperature; a small number are sounding the alarm and saying it's too late and everyone else is just ignoring it or acting like it's nbd without any explanation.

What's the carbon footprint of the Military Industrial Complex, or the Internet of Things, or the multi-millionair/billionair lifestyles? If the global elite were really concerned about the climate they would go after the worst offenders, and invest in nuclear power. It seems to me they are more concerned with maintaining their hegemony and keeping the global poor in perpetual "climate" poverty.

Good faith discussion is positive. However there is no good faith in paid lobbying. Remove the lobbying and then we can have a sensible discussion.

COPs are terrible, but they’re the best thing we’ve got and we should fight to make sure they can get something at least half decent done.

pretty easy to extend the trend, to the increasing probability we will Not 'solve' the climate problem

No,but we should ban religions involved in the discussion
