[@samuelchen4844]

It is actually heating up. However, since the earth is flat, the extra water will fall off the sides. It's all fine!

[@QuietWookie]

Samuel Chen lol

[@samuelchen4844]

Yas! I got a response from WASTETIME!

[@GenJotsu]

That's so stupid. If water did fall off the side of Earth, then Atlas (you know *just* the one who carries the Earth on his back) would slip and fall on the water. Smh, SAD.

[@samuelchen4844]

LOL Great logic

[@fricken99]

Hahahaha.

[@FROSTB4NE]

So the earth is officially... LIT

[@cezarcatalin1406]

That's what happens when I drop my mixtape

[@EliArnoldVox]

it's sad that we live in a world where people deny obvious facts for the sake of their feelings.

[@arrowgamer1476]

Elijah Arnold there are only 2 genders

[@EliArnoldVox]

Arrow Gamer1 Like this! Exactly this.

[@tww6269]

they have no feelings , it's for the sake of their profits

[@justAguyDs]

Elijah Arnold it's for the sake of their money. The people are just grossly misinformed for the sake of those trying to conserve their interests in money

[@Shoobybuhdooby]

This is true though

[@KY_100]

It is. Great video BTW. I didn't expect this from you but it is definitely welcomed. It's appalling anyone can deny this with science as evidence. Humans are emotional creatures and sometimes emotions appeal to people more than facts.

[@LightPink]

Dekko22 Damm you're fast

[@jonathann2116]

Dekko22 global warming is a lie. #Conservative

[@daft2hans]

nope! it's real, and im more conservative than you. You just need to travel to a different area, such as my country, Nicaragua to witness it.

[@AgentMaryland]

daft2hans I think the reason why conservatives are stereotypically prone to denying it is due to the topic being too politicized. If it wasn't, we'd probably see more people through the political spectrum being for renewable energy sources. I know this because I used to be a denier and got my way out of that thinking.

[@mmfighter7619]

ya most other the facts say we killed the planet 20 + years ago rip earth !!! lol i guess it just depends when you got on board the fact train. I even think falcon more or less points out that warming is happening slowly and the earth is not about to suddenly die.

[@naivepotatoking]

Next video: Is the earth REALLY round?

[@DatGrunt]

Nah you dumbass it's obviously split into 4 quadrants >:[

[@zenoopt5990]

Naive Potato King wtf are people talking about its flat,havent you seen a map before

[@trcwrd5810]

Naive Potato King it's a T Rex duh 🙄

[@NetherPrime]

The idiots who like to call others dumbasses for making a joke, there are people out there that still think the planet is flat and people like to make fun of them by joking about it.

[@Chris77Rocks77]

@koolkat45 It's funny because you're dumb.

[@reprisler]

aw you listened to my suggestion! falcon you rock! this makes my day :D

[@stefanorolando6674]

This a great video, watching this makes me feel very glad you opened this channel!

[@micahcowan]

Wow. I've only mostly seen your stuff for Gameranx, so I was skeptical about how well a video on climate change you might muster. I was wrong to doubt - I think this is the best, most clear and thorough video I've seen on the matter!

[@ianmatos7823]

Dude, you are doing an excellent work. In the beginning i was really skeptical about this channel, but them you guys, especially falcon, started doing a great job with scientific spread. A good amount of people already know vsauce, veritasium, and other channels but you guys are catching the young dudes, and dudettes, that like science but... just don't know it, they are just nerdy, liking video games and all that. And as a 13 year old from Brazil, i can tell you: keep doing what you are doing. you are going to change the way many people look at the world as many excellent channels did to me, thank you for doing what you are doing, don't stop.

[@shaneallen2562]

Great video, love all you guy and your work. I'm curious to know what your thoughts were on the subject before you did the research?

[@GameBobombers]

Thank you! Thank you for this video and to put the time and effort in this subject matter, that is so important but people don't really pay attention to.

[@S0raHyuga]

This is a fantastic video. It's so important to talk about what we will do to make things better rather than demonize opinions. Keep this up

[@fricken99]

Thank you, Falcon. I sincerely appreciated the research you put in to these videos.

[@fricken99]

Theoretically, at some point the water will rise and slowly engulf the land thereby destroying factories, homes and people (Essentially, the factors that are producing heat). This will balance out the problem (There are underlying assumptions to this hypothesis). What intrigues me is that this earth acts/reacts like a living entity. Perhaps, it is not conscious but still it feels alive.

[@undefinedvariable8085]

Really enjoying what you guys are doing here, keep it up.

[@Tomin8r97]

That's like asking "is water really wet?"

[@posteren551]

Wet;)

[@fizzisoda7113]

That isn't really similar actually.

[@treyseetaram1533]

Tom Butler well technically if you could suspend the water so it's not touching anything you could say that water causes things to be wet rather than saying it is wet

[@sykessaul123]

I'm assuming you mean that it's a really obvious common knowledge question that everyone should know already seeing as we've known about it for a good hundred years already.

[@sykessaul123]

And is dry water not just ice?

[@nano-kw4jv]

very good informative and objective video with great editing as always

[@Eduardo-vd8fo]

THANK YOU!.....being an estudent of enviromental management and trying to explaing this to people so hard and they still denied!...... thank you falcon! :D

[@Onablix]

Yo I just edumacated I feel smarts bro but seriously great vid it widened my knowledge on what I already knew on global warming an expanded it

[@kuunib7325]

It is and it's a problem for us not for nature.

[@Bandaid_Brigade]

I'll tell you one thing... Arizona feels hotter than last year. Our summer has began already

[@aft5fp]

I think the bigger debates are touched on right at the end. The profitability / practicality of alternatives and if it actually matters. Also the usefulness of predictive data shows its limitations on a regular basis in many areas, which makes the best way to solve the problem, and what problem to solve, fairly difficult

[@ernestocalderon7134]

You are the best falcon, keep going with the channel!

[@wastetime6194]

Thank you.

[@thomassmith2893]

Awesome video please make more!

[@mandygugs17]

Excellent video glad I subscribed

[@wastetime6194]

Thanks.

[@haugealx]

loved the video man great work

[@bomf4252]

I think the US is the only place where this is even a debate anymore. I live in Itlay and my country sucks for many reasons, not last ignorance, but even here carbon-caused heating is a matter of fact.

[@forestfire4348]

Does waste time pin comments???

[@user-fp9yx5mc9t]

JoeyMac The1st no

[@NetherPrime]

their own comments if they desire it to be seen.

[@FROSTB4NE]

I don't mean to be rude but I know a lot of Americans WON'T go to electric cars because it's such a car culture state in general, in Europe we have little cars and can't afford big fuel bills but Americans don't really care and would rather have big engines for their mustangs and SUVs etc , that's a European point of view I could be completely wrong , would like someone who is American to correct me.

[@EliArnoldVox]

MrNangle coming from an American, you're generally correct. who needs the planet when you can have some good ol American muscle under the hood? it's sad ,really.

[@No1WillMakeItOutAlive]

That's why I think gas prices should be raised. It discourages people from driving cars that use a lot of gas.

[@dominickharris3066]

If u were gonna say it's fake I was about to flip out and in sub

[@GOLEM1503]

I'm American so I can confirm, a lot of us here like our cars. I personally don't care about cars though.

[@FriedFry]

MrNangle I'm American, and unfortunately, you're kinda spot on. We generally just don't realize that having a big cool vehicle thats all fancy isn't as important as the Earth's condition. And for some reason we see the idea of switching to smaller vehicles or switching to electric cars as some sort of attack on our "freedom" or some sort of injustice. We are so obsessed with our stuff man.

[@DatGrunt]

I live in south Texas and 2016 was the only year I remember not having an actual winter. Not kidding...I remember maybe 3 days at most when it was cold outside. We had 90+ degree temperatures during most if not all of December. Texas is hot...but even in December it gets pretty damn cold. Last year though? It felt like we were in summer for 6 months. But yep fuck your feelings. This can be said about every single issue.

[@wip7393]

FollowMeInfantry yeah I live in south texas too so I can confirm this to be true

[@fizzisoda7113]

To me, nothing has changed. I haven't noticed any change in the temperature.

[@beargrills3508]

FollowMeInfantry i hope you're talking °F, not °C. though i do agree that it's getting warmer, i can't remember the last time it snowed where i live.

[@frenkylizo]

Mirko Antonini I'm better, I use °K :}

[@DatGrunt]

Yeah Fahrenheit. It pretty much never snows here. Maybe once every 100 years (no joke :D). I just found it incredibly odd that it was pretty much warm or hot all year round. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Christmas_Eve_United_States_winter_storm Lasted maybe a couple of hours though. Snow melted pretty much before noon :(

[@LusecWecos]

felt like a briefing video before an important mission.. "must obey master WASTETIME, take knife, cut all car tires in your city at night & plant C4 on every industrial building." nice video.. but why the off spin channel? was almost all the time in gaming mood because of the quadrillion game related animation´s and music.. would fit on gameranx aswell i.m.h.o. :)

[@nobrainz9222]

Ms.N00dles because Gameranx is an actual company and the KZbin guys (Jake and the guys) were hired to be Gameranx's entertainer for people on KZbin (the Adsense money are all belong to the company) So the guys decided to do this for fun and for some extra money I guess... plus this doesn't has any gaming related

[@glitchvampable]

Thank you Falcon! My eyes and mind absorbed it all.

[@cazzaz1001]

Holy shit, I didn't know falcon spoke about anything but games. Iconic voice

[@PoguliPogalu]

every time Falcon says "And we will see you next time right here on Waste Time" it feels so weird, i'm used to hear "right here on Gameranx" xD

[@alaricplett6725]

so I like that you guys went in no way into opinions, and left anything that you were not 95% sure was scientific out of the discussion. that makes this a very shareable video, by staying away from any politi-talk. but, now would be a good time for people to share any research that is still underway, or some findings for both sides of the debate. that way, people can know who to listen to in the future, so when more findings come out, they can find the actual studies and not propaganda.

[@blitzkreg335]

It's so cold here today, rain out the middle of nowhere. But this was a great video. Thanks Wastetime

[@rafarafaraf5008]

You should link this video to every government official everywhere.

[@yassir-5605]

i preffered the old editing style of the waste time videos,felt damn good to watch and i dont see many others talking about it,also guys if would be smart to feature the channel on gameranx,you know because its not?

[@Auridus]

I'm not a denier of the way our climate has changed, but I do feel that there is one bit of data that would make "human-caused" climate change an undeniable fact or put a nail in its coffin. We have data of CO2 levels rising after a certain point and we can point to what humans were doing at that point. It was extrapolated that we, therefore, were the cause. The data we also need, however, would be found if we cut fossil fuels and the such entirely and recorded the CO2 levels after. Should the levels drop, we could then say that humans are directly responsible and we could make a gameplan to combat it. Otherwise, we'd need to eat our words and admit that this cycle is just different, for one reason or another, than every other.

[@robbie2473]

This is a really well done video with a very important message. However, what frustrates me about this video- as well as many others on the topic of climate change- is that it fails to follow up the evidence on climate change with evidence on what we can do to minimise the damage. If @WASTETIME sees this comment, I would really appreciate if they would consider following up this video with advice on what we can do as individuals to combat climate change. I've done my own research but I lack the resources to condense that information into a brief, easy-to-understand animated video which would make that information more accessible to more people.

[@imagegatherer]

thank you for this video I agree

[@harjitsembhi]

Feels like i attended a science class lol

[@acress6844]

"And today on Game- Dammit. Take 2."

[@CarlosRomero332]

Very nice vid

[@TAZ_Thesand]

I really love Waste Time, but actually, the earth used to have 900ppm of Carbon dioxide. That being said, it was in the late Jurassic age ( the good old days of the dinosaurs ). Reference: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1342937X13003043

[@nextgen5113]

You educated me on climate change and made my thoughts a little bit more clear. So it's time for me to form a team and start making innovation in renewable energy especially in solar energy. Thank you

[@slongel]

By 5 years old I determined that I didn't want to be alive when the world came to a damn end. That's what happens when your older sister tells you horror stories about the world ending due to weather,war, or by us. It was scary 27 years ago and it's scary now.

[@alexandriariley5209]

7:50 Major correction there. LAND ice needs to melt. Which means that the two most important glaciers are the Greenlandic and the Antarctic, actually.

[@Khofax]

Actually poles melting is not the only reason for the rising water the H2O molecules use more volume when hot

[@Breeze926]

I hate it when people are like "I don't think this is right so it is wrong". They need to learn how to deal with facts. Not everything is going to be how you want it to be. If you want everything to be like you want it to be first you have to accept the truth and then start doing something about it.

[@treyseetaram1533]

I love this channel, but I think some videos on Gameranx should have been posted here, or posted on both. The most recent one I can think of is the super gamers video

[@joneia4891]

If you want to learn more about global worming, search for "before the flood". This film describes it in detail and it has some SHOCKING facts!

[@yannickpijlman4207]

Bruh this vid would've helped me understand this subject for my test last monday -_-

[@topdogg1231]

I think Falcon would make a great teacher/professor

[@Donray92]

sooooo when are you going to sell like scientist team shower curtains? :D

[@ShirotoraGodsbane]

I can't help but feel this is a little misleading. Yes, it's true that some people flat out deny climate change, the real debate is in what it means for the future. This is where there's less of a consensus. Some believe the world will continue heating, while others believe this will culminate in another ice age. The later is growing in support quite rapidly. Personally, I think we all need to invest in winter coats.

[@DecanFrost]

our weather is getting more and more messed up. i think the damage is done.

[@arrowgamer1476]

Decan Andersen its not too late, we'll need a couple decades to recover though

[@andrewlagrange8800]

I'm from Connecticut and we are currently in an actual drought...which, to my memory, had never happened in my lifetime. in addition to this, every single winter and summer we have gets warmer each year. I'd say that's evidence enough for me

[@MarcGamesons]

What I find interesting regarding this topic is the following: “The oceans contain 37,400 billion tons (GT) of suspended carbon, land biomass has 2000-3000 GT. The atpmosphere contains 720 billion tons of CO2 and humans contribute only 6 GT additional load on this balance. The oceans, land and atpmosphere exchange CO2 continuously so the additional load by humans is incredibly small. A small shift in the balance between oceans and air would cause a CO2 much more severe rise than anything we could produce.” This is just the first quote I could find regarding this after a quick google search, but I have heard of exactly this before. I am not saying that we aren't the reason that the earth is heating because maybe the small amount that we cause interferes with the economical balance of the earths climate but, let's say this isn't the case, are we really heating the earth or is it just the normal climate change because we aren't in an ice age anymore? What do you guys think?

[@trippy971]

it is weird because this year was the coldest one in 50 or more years here where I live

[@farmsalot1233]

Great vid

[@FinxOmally]

One of the biggest issues with CO2 production is from Ore refineries. In the EU our refineries can only use a really high quality ore for things like steel due to regulations. Which in the process produces far less CO2, but costs more for the ore itself. Places like Asia e.g. India and China. Just use what ever they get which is normally very low percentage of the material they need. Much cheaper to produce as they buy in the horrible low quality ore, so a HUGE byproduct of CO2. And their low price steel has crushed the steel industry in the UK and across the globe, causing issues where they are dominating the market meaning more demand, meaning more poor quality ore is being used, you can see where I'm going with this.. The last G8 summit one of the issues addressed was India's huge over use of coal and China's steel manufacturing practices. I believe we'll hit an "aww f**k we screwed up" point. Then pull a massive U-turn planting trees EVERYWHERE and try to invent air scrubbers to attempt to extract the CO2 out the air in a blind hope we can restore the levels to normal. And that irreparable wasn't caused. Otherwise our ancestors better figure out efficient space travel. Always thought if that becomes a viable thing then nuclear energy wouldn't be too bad. As the byproduct could just be stored on the moon. The the earths backpack for shit we don't want. 👍

when I saw the title of the video I thought "oh fuck what shit are they going to say about this". But really you nailed it, the explanation, examples, everything. Thank god I someone else belirves in science and facts. Thanks for informing people aswell well done!!

[@FellipeBraghettoTicianeli]

Do you guys know or have any idea why, every time I hear a scientist saying that global warming is not a thing he/she is an "Antartica Scientist" meaning he/she is specialized in studying that continent and spend several months doing research there... I had a theory that their research was founded by oil companies but I could never find a direct relation or evidence of that... at least not for the ones I've heard

[@arrowgamer1476]

Probably not a real scientist

[@sirquestgiver8550]

Fellipe Braghetto Ticianeli - that's actually an interesting point. I would say that it might be due to the decreed CO2 production down their but there is also no plant life taking it out of the system. It would be interesting to hear their argument.

[@nickykeenan7507]

4.6 billion years... just finished a unit on early earth in school

[@CESnarr]

We will never get away from fossil fuels until they run out or clean energy becomes more efficient. The simple reason is that consumption rates are growing at an equal rate to the construction of clean energy plants. Every time a new solar field is built its just enough to meet the increased demand but not enough to take a coal plant offline. Then there's other problems related to alternate energy. Like the number of birds set on fire in solar fields or collisions with turbines. Even hydro dams risk polluting water if not properly maintained. The good news, I think, is that humans are exceptionally good at fixing problems. So we will probably fix this too.

[@regularfries3147]

are we human?

[@litlclutch]

The problem is that it is far easier to get ones head up ones ass then to pull it back out. And that is before you even factor ego & pride into it. *Edited* Forgot to mention, Falcon loved this video. Seems like I could listen to you talk about just about anything. The fact that it was educational as well as entertaining will hopefully help the message be received. *End of Edit*

[@ImCarpet36]

This was a great video! But it's almost as if people just don't care. I'm not saying I don't care, just people in general. They go to work and watch TV when they get home, because they're tired. They don't have time to care. And that's the problem .

[@zacharysmutko7252]

The consensus survey was incredibly biased and dismissed massive amounts of scientists in a pre-survey. There are people in NASA that study climates that debunk the impending doom that people like Al Gore who makes millions off of a movie that claimed we should all be dead by now and somehow is somehow making another movie claiming the same thing. There is money on both sides the problem is we know we are affecting the climate but there is no way to actually gauge how much is human influence compared to nature.

[@milinko4468]

can you do a video on what it would actually take to get rid of America's debt like every person buying 600 iPhones but on the more feasible side of things like something we could kind of work towards

[@flamingcheese42]

Pretty good video, but it would have been nice if you had stated how much the earth has warmed and what countries are producing the most pollution/carbon emissions. Other than that, you did accomplish at wasting some time.

[@nightsage217]

This is much a better way to waste time. * voluntary walk to the guillotine

[@SammyOdds]

The only way to get rid of fossil-fuel based products is to make alternative products that will make buying the previous seem like a crazy idea. Example: For diesel cars, make electric cars much cheaper and electricity more accessible (and cheap) that it would be senseless to buy a diesel car. Like if a $70k family sedan (Tesla Model S) beats the top speed of cars twice its price, why bother spending double? Make sense?

I'm curious as to how are we able to know how much ppm there was 650,000 years ago? is it just a theory? what solid proof do we have of this including the time in those 650,000 years?

[@epilepticwizard4800]

Tevran geologists use qhat they call "carrots". basically its a cylindrically shaped piece of ice. if they dig deeper for the corrots, they can go earlier in earth's history. in these carrots of ice there are air bubbles trapped in there and that can be measured for ppm. so basically they dug very deep to find ice that was 650000 years old and measured the air bubbles trapped in them

[@mythologie2]

You should see the documentary Al Gore made about the exact same subject years ago. More people know this fact, more actions will be taken. Good video, but it's not a waste of time ^^
