Climate change is bad -- we hear this a lot. But this isn't the full story. Climate change also has benefits. And I think we need to talk about those too. Some regions of this planet will see milder climate and better conditions from agriculture. We'll see fewer people freeze to death, and, yes, some plants actually benefit from carbon dioxide.

If You choose real estate in the the southern part of Siberia, this might actually not be laughable, even if I wouldn’t do it due to risk related to politics. But the southern part of the Siberian area currently suitable for forests only is likely to become soon warm enough for growing wheat. You should avoid investing in real estate in the northern part of Siberia though, as it is likely to be swallowed by rising sea levels sooner or later, and it’s not expected to change in a way that increases its value before the sea levels rise.

If the northern artic regions warm up, what about all the methane currently locked in the permafrost which will be released due to higher temperatures?

[@v-doc5230]

Yes, we are losing perma frost, which makes land accessible. Land which is a) swamp land, when it melts and not much inhabitated. Using that land would require much effort and relocation of population. b) that land is by far as good for agriculture as you make it appear. For instance, the change of seasonal effects perturbs ecosystems and destroys relevant insect populations, needed for pollination. You want to pollinate all the Siberian fields of the future by hand? Good luck. c) The melting permafrost damages infrastructure like buildings and streets, which makes land use difficult. d) melting permafrost releases methane, i.e. enhances climate change and that also creates huge cave ins. You also neglect that there is a huge offset of how much land we gain, vs. how much we lose. Hint: There is a net loss, not gain. Negative impact on agriculture due to climate change is significant. In 2018/19 the direct losses in agriculture in Germany was 7 billion €. There is huge losses in productivity due to climate change, e.g. in "Anthropogenic climate change has slowed global agricultural productivity growth" by Ortiz-Bobea et al., 2021. Or, "fewer" people will freeze to death? Doubtful. The AMOC in the Atlantic has a very high risk of breaking down and then it will become very cold in the northern region of Europe, making it uninhabitable. So much for gaining land, right? Or people not freezing to death. "Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation", Ditlevsen & Ditlevsen, 2023 You cannot isolate "benefits" of climate change like you do. You have to relate them to the downsides. Net, there are no benefits. As a side note: Given the fact that you are such a vivid supporter of nuclear power, I wonder, is there a specific reason, why you omitted what happened in Asse? You know, full disclosure and so... ;)

Point missed. It isn't to anyone benefit if it rains in the desert (population: 0) or if it's warmer in glacial zones (population: 0 again). We are losing densely populated coastal areas to sea rising, and green cultivated areas to desertification. Plus, the gulfstream could stop if the ocean's temperatures rise too much.

Warming climate change is coming to the Earth because we are still currently naturally emerging from an ice age. Since the pre industrial years the Earth is claimed to have warmed 1.1C and reached an undesirable 400 ppm CO2 levels.

@@Alex-ni2ir I'd have to make a more thorough review to confirm the truth about what you claim as to her agreement with climate change, but I do feel confident that she would not state that she is certain about it, but rather that she would hold a proper scientific tentativeness and admit that it's a theory not nearly so well proven as most theories in her field of Physics, and that she's no atmospheric scientist either. Your type on the other hand fails to hold such a view, a scientific view, and instead follows along with what one side is saying as if it's proven, absolute, undoubtable truth. That's a nonscientific view which reveals how little you've apparently researched this topic, but have instead you have just become a part of the unscientific herd. There's plenty of substantial thinking and evidence, IF you'll bother to dig for it starting perhaps at places like the CDN (Climate Discussion Nexus) channel, et alia, as well as, of course, in the research papers-articles of extremely well-qualified atmospheric-climate scientists who don't accept the theory as absolute truth.

Solar Energy for running AC in Summer is cheap and getting cheaper, while fossil energy for heating in winter is more expensive and getting even more expensive. Therefore cooling in summer is cheaper than heating in winter, and advances in the PV technology and CO2 taxes for fossil energy make coping with summer heat cheaper and coping with winter cold more expensive, therefore in turn making a warmer climate financially desirable? Summer activities are cheaper than winter activities of comparable fun levels?

Properly quantifying the benefits in Nordic countries is very difficult to get right. For example one effect of warming is increased snowfall (as the winters are less cold and the temperature rises closer to 0°C which increases humidity which increases snow), and keeping cities and buildings cleared of snow is very expensive. Also global warming makes weather more chaotic, leading to periods of drought in the summer, decreasing crops despite the warmer weather. We have already been experiencing these effects.

@@DistinctiveBlend the variability between years is pretty meaningless in the short term, only longer term trends matter. It's like we went from reports that the arctic ice would all be gone within a few years to record levels of ice. Weather year to year swings around wildly for a bunch of different reasons. In the case of 2020-23 a significant part of the change was likely the mandated reduction in the sulfur levels of container ships. Sulfur emotions from the fuel oil they burn has the potential to increase the risk of acid rain (used to be a problem but really isn't anymore), but it also helps cool the atmosphere. Indeed part of the warming since 1990 is likely due to the reduction in sulfur emissions from coal fired power plants. It's one of those weird side effects you rarely hear about, dirty coal was helping increase temperatures by releasing co2 while at the same time helping to reduce them by emitting lots of sulfur dioxide. Most of the world has transitioned to 'clean coal' which scrubs the sulfur from the exhaust, but still emits the co2. Such a pity the developed world didn't transition to nuclear back in the 90's so both problems were dealt with at the same time.

My glass is now up to a full 50%. Thank you Sabine. 🌻

Weeing yourself on a hot summer day has the benefit of helping you cool down by condensation. Do with this analogy whatever you want.

Considering actual survival manuals give this advice you're completely correct.

There's a term in kung-fu martial arts (i know UFC discredited it openly... work with me) called "leaf splits wind"... it's the idea of rolling with something bad instead of forcing it to be prevented... because it's easier to handle if you look at something everyone sees as negative while you're busy finding positives and handling it instead... this feels like that... a positive look at something everyone only views as a horror movie... like there's a way to navigate it

Is this a joke? Who sponsored this, BP? Shell?

You might need to finish the video to understand what she’s actually saying. The thesis is that global warming has benefits, not that it’s a net benefit.

[@danielh.9010]

I guess she knows that a lot of her viewers are climate change deniers, and that they value her because she criticizes academia and points out errors in studies or in news articles about recent studies. I mean, she actually does her best to cater to this audience but to also mention what the scientific consensus is and how those "benefits" relate to the whole picture. When that audience ignores half of the video by only hearing what they want to hear, who is to blame? The viewer? Or Sabine? At least it's an attempt at reaching those deniers...

[@Thecrucialdruggy]

As far as Sabine Quality science and Article investigation, that was a stinker…yikes

[@SeventhFire]

Just the extinction of all mammals part, that's the main bad thing about climate change that kind of outweighs the supposed positives....... It's not the warming alone, it's the instability of temperatures.......

[@I_am_Raziel]

2/3 of all species have disappeared 😢 Which makes it even worse: not within the past 200 or 150 years, but since 1970. If it continues like that there will be almost none left in another 50 years. 😮

Increased CO2 levels will also have a positive impact on weeds. Consider that the U.S. loses tens of billions of dollars each year to invasive plants as it is now, being supercharged by more CO2 will make that much worse. CO2 also feeds algae, phytoplanktons and sea weeds such as the sargassum -- the stuff that frequently has been burying the West Coast of Florida in a toxic obnoxious blanket of yuck for one example. Algae blooms have been a serious and frequent problem for fresh water lakes and wetlands (see Lake Erie). The extra growth due to CO2 increases will also greatly increase eutrophication of fresh water systems. phytoplankton is causing the oceans to decrease their albedo and absorb more of the sun's energy. Funny how CO2 cheerleaders seem to miss these little caveats, among many others.

I've been a huge fan of yours for a while but this kinda hurt Sabine. Not many places on earth are as effected by climate change as much as the North. Us Inuit and other Northern Indigenous peoples are going to lose our traditional lifestyles and cultures. We actually thrive in the cold and hate the heat. Very very few people die each year from freezing to death here except alcoholics who pass out. It sucks because we didn't cause these changes but we'll be the first to lose out. I still respect you very much but this hurt, we feel unheard.
