Twenty-five years after it was adopted, the so-called Kyoto Protocol has clearly proven to be a significant step toward greater climate action. But was it enough to head of the worst effects of global warming? The Post spoke with experts who say it was not sufficient. Since 1997, the international community has reached an updated agreement, namely the Paris Accord in 2015, that aims to mitigate disasters caused by a rapidly warming planet. Despite those actions, climate trackers predict the planet will still warm by up to 2.1 degrees Celsius (3.8 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100 unless radical changes are made by developed nations and corporations.

In the U.S., trees adapted only to the specific climate, mainly south, where the temperature is relatively warm, have spread to colder northern states in part thanks to warmer temperatures on average and shorter winters. The frequency of major flooding in the south has been causing a significant amount of money to recover each year. Climate change is real.

@@nancymcgee4776 what are you laughing at? Climate change isn't a joke, it will definitely affect all of us at some point.

Awesome. We are on track to reach 2.1 degrees.

Both china n India ratified Kyoto protocol in 2002 (min 3.55) Please be precise n check basic facts. It's basic decency for reporters to do so

Climate change is sadly affecting much of South Asia even though the USA and west is most responsible for it

May the Anthropocene epoch make the Permian-Triassic extinction event seem like a minor footnote in the pages of Earth's history. Here's to making scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment a reality.

[@frankr29]

The Kyoto and Paris agreements both violated the 1992 UNFCCC agreement, which committed the world to SAFE CONCENTRATIONS and thus safe heat levels. The IPCC unilaterally rejected this commitment in its 2nd assessment report in 1995.

[@ALWH1314]

So which country withdraw from Kyoto Protocol?

[@vincentlagrange2329]

United States: Bill Clinton (Democrats) signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998. Bush Jr. (Republican) withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol in 2001. Canada: Jean Chrérten (Liberal) signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998 and ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2002. Stephen Harper (Conservative) withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol in 2012. In conclusion... Don't vote for Republicans or Conservatives!!

Montreal Protocol in 1987 was the first since over a decade earlier than Kyoto.

If you are still expecting politicians and multinationals to 'save' us then you are living in la la land. Everyone needs to change their behavior, consume less and stop buying to the worst companies.

[@allykatt940]

60 years ago they where shipping NY and everyone elses garbage out on barges and dumping them in the ocean. maybe we should have that generation pay to clean it up.

[@i_antraxx]

Thanks for having me SCMP :)

[@danh_dang7912]

Build a road to the ocean lower than 1 or 2 metres of average road face to prevent overflow of flood ! Open for traffic in the peaceful times and closed when raining or flooding is forecasting will be happened soon !

The footage used in this video if full of selection bias. Some countries stand to benefit from the effects of climate change

The fact is that India is not even among top 20 countries if we see per capita carbon emissions, and as total it's emissions are 60 percent less than US. 4:08

[@hideentity1518]

Give one research that show the connection between carbon emissions and floods. Not propaganda, a research.

[@ratmathers2282]

Five minutes on Google. From the EPA, to NASA, to the IPCC, to about a hundred other organizations.

@@ratmathers2282 decent research with critics proof. not kinder maps and other kind of manipulation screen shots showing nothing but pro-pagan-da. One true evidence of connection between carbon or any other climate claiming causes flood's.

@@ratmathers2282 The exclusion of data certainly doesn't help. You people are too dumb to notice. BTW I'm not denying climate change, I'm just pointing out how gullible you are to videos like these.
