Climate change - Averting catastrophe | DW Documentary

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE are!

"Climate"- the new "green" fascism.

HOw about some reality:::: The increase in co2 has resulted in a great greening of crops and forest regrowth....

It's almost global cooling/winter.

GLOBAL WARMING IS A SCAM

So many ppl choose to remain ignorant about this debate and its so sad

Stop logging forests and foremost the Amazon which ie needed to keep the Earth cooler

Climate Change...A farting cätästrophä.

Each of the 8 billion people on Earth has a share of the atmosphere which weighs 740,000 TONS. Unless you and every other person on Earth are each changing the temperature of a different 740,000 tons of air, mankind is not causing climate change. End of discussion.

Please shout out DCI Middle School in Washington DC. Go Dragons!!!!

Terrible!

there's just change...been happening for a long time...

pure crap

Klimaat is millions of years on the move..stupet .its normal..you oll pay fore samting nowan controls 😂🎉

The real climatologist I listened to refute a lot of half truths here. I listened to a man who was an atmospheric consultant to NASA for 40 years. He said the co2 level pretty much stays the same.

Do people really believe all this climate alarmism ? Carbon is not at any sort of historic high, could double without any real effect on global temperatures, and there's no reason to take any drastic action to reduce it. Have a look to find out where the 3% came from, or the correlation between carbon and temperature etc etc, rather than just buying into the latest propaganda.

the worst polluter is China, they use huge amounts of coal and keep building more and more coal power plants. So only solution is stop buying chinese crap products. move factories elsewhere.

Carbon dioxide is one of the major GHGs and a driver in the domain of climate change. In the drive to mitigate and adapt with the issue of climate change, carbon trading has become a vital policy instrument in majority of the countries in the World. It is also a pivotal element of the UNFCCC’s approach to tackle climate change. National or regional carbon trading schemes are now operational in many counties through a well-defined structural policy, specific for the country. Yet the trading is still in a volatile stage. Many schools think that this concept is not very realistic to combat climate change, while others consider this a strict regulation to put cap/limit on the emitters. Unfortunately, the subject is characterised by jargon, abstract concepts, mathematical formulae, and technical detail, making it hard for most people to understand its implications and evaluate its merits and demerits. This paper is a first order analysis to unravel some of this complexity by imparting thrust on three basic components – cap and trade, carbon offsets and carbon trading – which underpin the trade in carbon quotas. The case study of the highly urbanized city of Kolkata and Indian Sundarban mangrove ecosystem has been discussed in details with CO2 – e of dominant trees to analyse the probable credit that can be received from the producer communities of these two sites that are significantly different in terms of anthropogenic footprints and ecological features.

China has no interest in reducing its emissions or waste, contrary to what they say publicly. Domestically the message is the opposite of what the mouth peices for the CCP say to the international community.

You know how we could stop climate change?
Some more taxes. Yeah.

No need to fall for climate doom fear mongering. Milankovitch cycles that dictate ice ages prove it’s all BS. Milankovitch calculated changes in solar radiation on the earth due to fluctuations in orbital mechanics. His calculations predicted ice age cycles that were later proven by ice cores. Ice cores measure annual temperatures and CO2 levels through many Ice ages. and when temperature increases due to solar radiation increasing, then CO2 also increases. The solar energy drives the temperature and the temperature drives the CO2 level. The CO2 level does not drive the temperature because clearly it follows Astronomical cycles.

Can't we get carbon dioxide out of the earth?

Climate change caused by humans is a massive hoax. Its geo engineering causing the problems. Cabal exploits any natural event.

Really is too bad that you keep referring to 2100 like we have some type of chance of reaching that as a civilization but less as a species.

Climate change is an All White boutique club - brought about to prevent ordinary folk from climbing up the ladder - it’s a shame these elites think that anyone from a public school can be fooled so easily

Have you factored in the effects of the current solar cycle, the fact that the poles are moving and that the moon is moving away from the earth? These also have profound effects on climate that we have no control over. Also how much carbon is emitted making these documentaries? Climate change is a serious threat however I have yet to see one intelligent idea to offset it from any of the people screaming about it ....

Global warming is over ..... Its GLOBAL BOILING ,,!!!!

It's called weather. 🤣🤣🤣

Man kind invests more into weapons of war then climate change and governments front "green initiative" costs to it's citizens. It's a formula that won't pan out well for the future.

Claus ordered this movie?

Blah blah blah. Every prediction has failed. Still got our islands. Still got our polar bears. Still have glacier National park. Still have Manhattan. All were predicted to be gone by now.
1970s ice age will freeze us all!’ 1980s acid rain will burn our crops! 1990s O zone hole will burn us to death! 2000s global warming will lift sea levels and 1000 islands will be gone by 2018!

I am convinced activity from outer space is causing our climate problems. It’s not what we are doing. Aliens ??? Maybe!

Nothing but a power grab, people. Wake up

It wasn't too late to do something 30 years ago, but thanks to disinformation coming from America nothing was done and it's too late now, we have already hit 1.5 degrees warming. 6 degrees and we are all done

......... oops

CO2 levels were extremely elevated during the age of the dinosaurs (which ended 65 million years ago), perhaps at some 2,000 to 4,000 ppm. Tremendous CO2 emissions, from incessant and extreme volcanism, heated Earth and allowed dinosaurs to roam a sultry Antarctic.Jun 10, 2021

Scientists reveal the history of Earth's CO2 since the dinosaurs ...

Very very bad Doku, it is full of political Lies
1. That Germany is importing energy , is far far far from beeing climate friendly and not green energy ,
it get shipped or transported with a lot lot lot of Emissions or Pipelines are build with a lot lot of Emisdsions

2. Germany is still lying about, In and Export Emissions and that they replaced a lot of Emissions into other countries,
further more and not enough they even violate and mock about these own emissions other countries
This does also say where Germany is still lying about they did increase the Emissions very intense ,
it just not in Germany, they increase it world wide in other countries and by an increasing in and export
Yes germany does build solar and wind a lot, but they increase their emissions very intense until today and did not get rid of any Emissions at all,
due to Emissions in other countries and due to In and export and they try to greenwashing everything they import and export with high Emissions,
because the economical transport is still running on a lot of fossil fuels and also germany companies in other countries.

3. The Alps is not a big deal due to climate change, there are much more deadly consequences with climate change like the end of drinking water world wide due acidification, lost of oxygen in the atmosphere, food starts to extinct, rising conflicts and migration, dying world economy and the mass extinction event that does increase very fast.
The Alps are you serious ? In a global mass extinction event , no one cares for the Alps at all.

4. Germany like every other country or mostly every other country is also denying the scientific fact , that there is no carbon budget anymore since about 2014,
where the IPCC said very clear , we have no carbon budget anymore from now on we have to not only reach Zero Emissions, we have also to get CO2 out of the Atmosphere because we emit CO2 far over the Emission budget which we do not have.
And Germany did increase their Emissions very hard , instead of get it to Zero in the year 2014 what is now 10 years ago, where germany does still have massive Emissions until today and also been economical planed for at least the next 50 years, due to fossil contracts and In and Exports.

Wonderful example of halfwit using Google.

The Gen- z generation is the most uneducated and gullible generation. They are easily duped into believing in the climate change agenda fraud . Judith Curry is a respected scientist who does a great job debunking climate change alarmism

Promo videos for climate. Enough is enough 👍. This is also a game launched from america they invested heavy in Climate, energy and gasoline on forehand and afterwards this happens. This is no coincidence. Not one country takes real measurements against it. Its just the money game. Give people guilt feelings just to justify the prices. Even without true evidents. I wonder sometimes if this is a setup just like the massive immigration to find cheaper employees to get the rich richer. There is a white house behind the white house who is really good at planning truly influancing ultra rich people. No matter what happens to the countries as long the money grows.

OMG!! We’ve been dealing with climate change alarmism for last 50+ years.
NONE of their predictions have panned out, but EVERY STINKNG time, our taxes go up.
FFS, we NEED to stop them!!

Who cares about climbers. There are so many people affected by floodings and other calamities and yet you start with climbers.

Climate change , global warming was here 50 years ago , why are the current whingers so wrong

OVERPOPULATION!!!!

Climate change is real. What is driving climate change is human overpopulation of the Earth. The carying capacity of the earth is below 1 billion. We are over 9 billion. Do the maths. We need to stop births in all countries of the Earth. Let the planet recover and then after a period (7 years cycles) allow some births again but followed by other rigourous births stop cycles. Let the planet breath again. All life eventualy dies also humans and through the rebirths cycles it all comes back to life again. If we create some strict regulation and periods of time for the future where no birth (zero) are allowed, this is the only humane way of lowering our population number. Each year 100 000 000 more babies are added to this world. This is insane. The carying capacity of our beloved planet have been calculated by some expert to be at 529 million. Do the maths. We would need a new planet every 5 years or so.

OVERPOPULATION!!!!

Speak about it. What ever we do if we don't lower our numbers everything is gonna get worse and worse and worse then it already is.

It's already catastrophic!

WHAT ABOUT CHINA? CHINA IS CURRENTLY #1 POLLUTOR. its irrelevant that per person they are lower, planet does not care. I applaud europeans for all the effort, but its a waste of time unless countries like china and other developing economies act as well !

One of the best and most informative documentaries I have ever seen. Thank you.

I got married in 1975 Oct 25th it was a hot sunny day glorious the same as Oct in 2023 it was maybe a little hotter in the north of England .The glaziers are melting they always have since the Ice Age it is what ice does it Melts. The weather is all over the place that is because Governments like China / America are using chemical from planes leaving chem trails to disrupt weather patters its a bio war against each other to disrupt countries and sometimes they drift in the atmosphere over countries that they were not intended for. The reason Climate Change was voice is it raises taxes against companies i.e wrapping. waste. petrol anything that Governments can raise money on. WAKE UP PEOPLE get real stop being sheep led by the nose and following world Government misinformation indoctrination.

Averting disaster? We are already head deep in quicksand.

Poor quality! I love how activists want to state that Co2 has increased by 40-60-% since 1950. Are you aware the percentage of Co2 in our atmosphere is only 0.04%. A very small fraction of 1% of the gas in our atmosphere is co2. Feel manipulated yet! It's also true since 1950, Co2 has increased from 0.03 to 0.04. How dramatic!. All the efforts and campaigning to reduce Co2 has a completely different agenda. Do your own research, and don't fall prey to others pushing their own agendas on you.
