IPCC shows Climate Change hurting us... Today

[@ClimateAdam]

there's a lot to take in here. let's be kind to each other - and ourselves - in the comments 💚

[@earthenvoy]

Hi ClimateAdam, great job on this one! I'm brand new to youtube and just did a video highlighting the IPCC's press conference. Would love an add to your playlist. Thank you for your efforts!

[@shane92515]

Have you looked into The Venus Project by Jacque Fresco at all? I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

[@KJSvitko]

The cost of dealing with the impact of Climate Change will be much greater than the cost of dealing with the cause.

[@silviamartinelli6848]

Struggling with climate anxiety (and war anxiety!) right now. Thanks for the clear and hopeful explanation Adam...

What helped me, was to ask myself what the worst thing that could happen is. Then ask yourself how bad that actually would be, and what it would mean for life on earth in the future (distant or near). Those questions are always easier to think about, if you don’t think you’re going to experience the worst effects yourself 😉.

[@davidpalk5010]

Take action. Consume far less. Consider the consequences of every action. Make choices accordingly. Spread the message. Be part of the solution. Find people who agree. Being an activist can be empowering and positive, and is within the grasp of every individual reading this. Begin right now, and feel good about it.

[@SaveMoneySavethePlanet]

I find the financial limits especially frustrating. Yes, many solutions cost a lot of money and will require a lot of effort to ensure citizens don’t end up homeless when their industry shuts down…but that’s why we should be pushing for more action now! That way we have more time to do the transition properly.

[@TheJenjuju]

I'm struggling with serious climate anxiety. myself and my wife have been together for 17 years and are finally after years of saving in a position to afford IVF to start our family, only thing is I'm terrified of what we could be bringing them in to and if its even right to bring more children into the world the way it is and the future that could be without action. my family think I'm crazy to be thinking this way and my Wife says its my decision as i'll be carrying the baby. as a side note I live in Ireland and adoption here is incredibly hard to do and inter country adoption is even harder and beyond our finances. as for fostering I'm not sure we could go through raising and potentially having to hand back a child. has anyone else considered or decided not to have children based on climate change?

[@PeterAGW]

It seems like a common problem. You might find the perspective in an article titled "Please Don't Give Up On Having Kids Because Of Climate Change" useful (it seems like if I post the link, the reply gets lost in content moderation...).

[@ClimateAdam]

Firstly, thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer. It's such a deeply valid concern, and don't let anyone tell you you're wrong to be questioning it. It's hugely personal, and in my view there's no right answer. I just know that I want to create a world where we no longer have to ask ourselves such questions.

[@ClimateAdam]

Also I personally found this article contained a lot of really valuable reflection: www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/human-overpopulation-can-having-fewer-children-really-make-a-difference/

Of course the extremes of poverty and wealth is the biggest cause of human suffering as much or if not more then climate change. When the top 10% have 90% of all the wealth that's when people problems arise real problems every second of every day. We fight for the crumbs and try to find happiness with the crumbs. The 1st world governments and oligarchs should be held accountable for the misery they have caused. People delude themselves and distract themselves with the stupidity of celebrity and don't get properly educated.

[@Meekseek]

Weather warfare, weather & climate engineering causes human suffering. Nothing CONvinces people of climate change (despite it's not due to co2) better than losing loved ones and their homes. Droughts floods, extreme weather bomb cyclones, feeding hurricanes moisture & steering them all possible via weather & climate engineering. It's been seven decades of of boiling the frogs.

[@DrGilbz]

Thanks for emphasising what we can DO about these scary climate impacts Adam. Despite the bleak findings of the report, we've all got a responsibility to make that beautiful future you talk about...

[@axelcarlsson6795]

Question for you: I had no idea the second part had come out, despite eagerly anticipating it. I think this is because all news outlets have been focusing on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Of course that is extremely important, and deserves the attention of the media, but I wonder: Is there a risk of this overshadowing the IPCC report and, if so, what could the impact of this be? And to conclude, I am a MASSIVE fan! I credit you as being one of the main voices which helped me recontextualise climate change in my head and not succumbing to a "well, all is lost" mentality. Thank you for that

[@ClimateAdam]

Excellent question, and I feel pretty certain this part of the report has received less attention than wg1, which came out last year. Of course our attention is greatly on this war right now, but the world has shown it can do two things at once. Concern and conversation about climate change grew, even while we've been grappling with covid. We can - and we have to - deal with all our crises together. They're interlinked, after all! And thanks so much. Very glad you find the videos valuable.

[@dianasofiiaaa]

I’m so thankful about these reports, very much needed, thanks for sharing. I was suffering a lot of anxiety about this when unemployed (and I just finished studying biology) during the pandemic and today work and money is just distracting me from this, THIS is so very important for me and I just needed it. We need to destroy the systems that are killing us, I see now that they can’t “change” or “become sustainable”. I know it sounds extreme to destroy the systems and the worlds economy but we are in an extreme situation, it already is a matter of life or death for a lot of people, including me and my loved ones.

[@msheart2]

Weather and climate engineering, sort how much that is harming us, seven decades do the math.

[@patrick247two]

A successful economy can only thrive with growth. 6% growth generates 6% climate change. Greater climate chaos indicates healthy economies. Not a good sign.

[@alangardner8596]

I admire your optimism, the problem is though that there is little hope of optimism and little hope left as climate change takes on an exponential trend.

[@zentouro]

thanks for putting together this phenomenal summary! idk how you managed to squeeze the whole report basically into 12 minutes, but you did.

[@Laura-wn2yy]

I enjoyed seeing the word "narrative" used, and how important "narratives" are in convincing people of the crisis, and how differing "narratives" may conflict, but oh well, lols.

[@MeganJohnsVideos]

Thank you so much, Adam. You helped my anxiety doom spiral with this thoughtful video. Remembering to breathe and that we can accomplish a lot if we unite. I am certain there are more humans who care deeply about the climate crisis than who do not. Would be interested to see your prioritized list of actions civilians might take to both lessen emissions and prepare for changes? Also, love the nails! Thank you again. 🙏💖

[@ClimateAdam]

Thanks so much, Megan - really glad you found the vid valuable. Keep taking those deep breaths! A prioritised list sounds invaluable... I'd have to work out what my order would be then!

[@dubbitywap]

Hello! Thank you for this great video. I would like to read some chapters of this report but they all seem to have this annoying watermark behind each page saying "Accepted version, subject to final edits". Is there a place where I can get this report without this watermark so I can actually read it?

[@ClimateAdam]

Hmm.. I think because the report was approved so recently (Saturday, in fact!) it will still be sometime till those versions are available..

[@feffermickel]

Many thanks! Videos like yours are so important so more people can understand these huge IPCC reports

[@ClimateAdam]

well thanks so much for watching!

[@ClimateAdam]

I know this vid might look and sound a lil different to usual. this is what happens when you make a video in 24 hours while on holiday!

[@earthman6700]

8 years and nothing done. Just like the heartbreaking events in Ukraine, 8 years and the Politicians failed us all with that one. You can expect them to do the same with CC for the next 8 years...

[@ClimateAdam]

As someone who has been watching climate progress pretty closely the last decade, I think it's untrue to say nothing has been done. Is it enough? Absolutely bloody not. But it's certainly not the complete inaction that we saw previously. I touch on this (among other things) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJS1fGVrib5of6M

[@ClimateAdam]

thanks Andre - so glad you found it helpful!

[@AllAboutClimate]

Great breakdown Adam, super clear and informative! The points about climate consequences being in the here and now and how we all have a role to play are important but perhaps the most important is that we can still choose to build a better future. You're absolutely right - Catastrophe is not inevitable. Thank you for for your communication efforts!

[@RosyOutlook2]

Umm, don't let the fact the weather and climate is controlled get in the way of your so called building a better future agenda.

[@msheart2]

Climate change is weather and climate engineering.

[@AllAboutClimate]

@@msheart2 Yes it is - that's the whole point. We are engineering the climate towards warmer temperatures by altering the composition of the atmosphere. Keep up!

[@reneekucera5398]

Do these reports only come out every 8 years? Do we need more reports more often? What is going to light a fire to get governments and people to act? Still frustrated the major news channels focus daily on the economy and infrequently on climate change stories.

[@ClimateAdam]

Every 7 years in theory, but I think some things got delayed this time round. My personal feeling is that perhaps that used to be enough, but as things accelerate (in research, policy, and in the changes to our climate to itself) so should the report cycle. At the same time, its such a burden on researchers, it's hard to see how that'd be possible... By the way while the main report is ~ every 7 years, the ipcc did release 3 special reports in that time period too, which were fundamentally important in reshaping climate policy and activism. In fact the 1.5 degree report completely shifted the discussion about how much warming we can tolerate and how much time we have.

[@hannesstark5024]

Thanks for the explanation

[@BoonBreyne]

Although these reports and arcticles about extreme weather events definitely weigh me down mentally, there's one thing that I try to keep close at heart: Hope = Action See you on the streets ;-)

Hi Adam, I'm looking to invest in a green ISA, can you recommend any or push me in the right direction? I understand if this is something you're not allowed to do (KZbin rules) or if you just don't feel comfortable but if you could I would be grateful for your opinion..

[@ClimateAdam]

Ah that's great! Making sure your investments don't support the fossil fuel industry is really invaluable. I'm not in a position to recommend a specific one (both because I don't like to endorse particular things, and because I don't even have the knowledge to do so!), but I will say that the fact there's even a choice between providers now shows how far things have come since I was first looking for options!

The movement for solutions must grow rapidly and we can be on the front end of the effort. Much support to anyone actively a part of this or working through how they can become one. Recently, I’ve found some outlet in learning about the citizen’s climate lobby in the U.S. and how to take part in bringing carbon pricing policy here. Take care all ❤️

@@pavloseldakis920 to believe to use strategies to convince others. And the worse is climate change is intentional weather and climate engineering. We are forced to breathe in nano particles in the aerosol, they use to block the sun with and they want us to pay for breathing. It's vile.

@@ClimateAdam you were born under weather and climate engineering, you know nothing about real weather or climate simply because you went to Oxford.

[@pavloseldakis920]

@@Meekseek I agree, messing with things we do not fully understand can only lead to disaster at an epic scale. My logic is simple, we don't know what we don't know therefore logically we need to question everything. Ice cores show its been much colder and much warmer in the earths past and yet we are still here, which goes to show people can survive by learning to adapt to climate change, we as a species need to focus more on environmental pollution and habitat destruction as they are more of an immediate concern.
