I like how he talks about certain death snd now tells us to buy merch

With countries like Russia, you have to remember that they tend to see positive effects from climate change and therefore do not want to do anything about it

"We need to take decisions using facts and everyone needs to work together." We're doomed.

no doubt bro

We can’t even battle a virus together…

we're done

I agree as a Chinese, it doesn't matter who you are, it matters if we helped each other to fix the mistakes that we continue like Adam

I love how he didn’t blame anyone, he didn’t just say “ oh yeah uh America and China need to do the most work, yeah it’s all their fault”. He explained how all countries were a contribution, and how much CO they emitted, and how they could help

@shinyblue98 I was referring to all emissions since industrialization compared to the United States which is tiny. Regardless my point is just that the US is the biggest culprit

He did say rich countries should do more. And that they are to blame the most. And that is the truth.

@Avinash Reji not true, you didn't watch the video. Canada produces 2% of current global emissions, that's not nothing.

@Itzel A Canada and Mexico’s industrial pollution disappears into the rounding error when added with America

@Avinash Reji i know but its North america not América.

"almost every year we're breaking some kind of record" really hits different only a bit over a year later. three massive wildfires at a time, each on different continents. the strongest hurricanes in over a decade. it really is a dire situation

Do you believe everything you hear?

Even worse now. Highest recorded temperatures in the UK and Europe

@J Valentine Does that mean that climate change is not causing these increasing fires? Are you sure that *most* of these wildfires occur because there are too many trees and shrubs? Could you please elaborate further?

Please, someone should play this at the next UN conference!!!

@Prats Lmao why? 😂

@Prats Ok?

@MARIA A Ofc it is look at their key members and we will all know why.

@Prats stop flexing They wont was the correct phrase

@Prats seriously?

The sad part is, in the west we have a lot of greener technology, and I know China is ramping up their development, because they need to with a massive population. As an example the west would need to have agreements in which they would assist developing countries and countries with big outputs to switch using the more advanced technologies. But I would never see anyone helping China with this because of America's ingrained hatred for them which is spawned for the governments, I suspect America doesn't want them to develop because they know they would overtake them in terms of production. And with a quarter of the world's people I think they would. So in conclusion we better start moving to venus or Mars because I don't think it's fair to say "stop developing your country and infrastructure" but helping the other countries out of it will be impossible because no one wants to share their power. And I get pissed off with people telling me to think of my carbon footprint.. When I live in Helsinki outskirts and can't even afford a dam car but I like to have a computer. Some people need to lose more because they can afford it, like the more wealthy. But I guess they are alright with it because it's not gun a happen In their lifetime or century xD

yea I agree so much! best comment I have seen this decade!

The blame doesn't befall on Everyone, but Everyone is responsible.

@Robdebobrob people barely surviving are not responsible, not in the least. And some people (leaders, rich people) are more responsible than others. Accepting cold truths will make things easier.

People who don't have enough to eat tommorow don't care about climate change, people in developed countries need to take initiative by reducing you consumption.

Jeffrey Kortekaas go vegan

nah, not even the countries with biggest carbon producers care about it, absolutely won't stop to produce, and will go even higher, why bother?...they can simply wipe all effort to clean carbon in no time

You guys have the most amazing content, illustrations and animations. Totally love them💫❤ Just that on 4:07 the flag of India 🇮🇳 is misplaced by the flag of Iran 🇮🇷

They fixed it Awesome!

Yeah quite some flags were mismatched, like Nigeria's flag really looked Algeria's... but I agree with you the content is still great!

"We need to take decisions using facts and everyone needs to work together." Well this life was fun while it lasted.

Rofl 😂

Honestamente, ¡estoy impresionado con el tiempo y el esfuerzo que has puesto en estos videos! 😊✨❤🙏

Great vid. Concisely explains fundamental issues in tackling global heating whilst short enough to maintain modern attention span. One point I would like discussed more often, when referring to yearly emissions, is scope 1,2 and 3 calculations and how that affects, even distorts relative contributions of each nation.

Also, we should not forget that nations like Germany reduced their carbon footprint by having their products produced in China because it was cheaper and environmental restrictions were less strict. So we put our debts in their hands and then blame then for the emissions. :-/

@Alpha Wolf fair enough, I misread that.

@Skalli never said you built new plants i said you replaced your nuclear energy with coal energy.

@Alpha Wolf That video just says that energy production with coal was increased to replace nuclear. But we didn't build any new plants for that. Factually, up until now we used gas, not coal. Now we switch to coal for a short time because of the gas crisis and then to renewables. Renawables made more than 40% of the energy mix in the past years, in some months even more than 60%. It could have been more if there wouldn't be some politicians who made building more renewable plants like wind parks and solar more difficult. So no, we still didn't build coal power plants to replace nuclear plants.

@Skalli look at Kurgesargts video titled "Worst Nuclear Accidents" in history and you'll see that it's true.

@Alpha Wolf We built one coal power plant in the last few years, which was stupid enough as it is, but not to replace nuclear energy. And we don't plan to build more. we're shutting down other coal plants too. The one that was build was to replace other coal power plants that were using a different kind of coal that's phased out sooner. Until 2038 all coal power plants are supposed to go offline.

As a Canadian, seeing us the top ten is heartbreaking, because we have probably the smallest population of all of them

I say it’s everyone’s fault for climate change and we need to work together to reverse it. We need all the help we can get.

When I didn't see Australia in the top 10 most CO2 emmiting countries, I was happy. I thought we were doing good, until is saw the CO2 per person scale. Everyone needs to do something to fix what they caused.

At some point this was always going to happen. There's all this power available, so humans use it. Humans use to power to advance. By the time most societies are fairly advanced, some of the largest and most influential companies will inevitably be fossil fuel companies. However, it's not as though shareholders of fossil fuel companies are going to understand if Management decides to do the right thing and shift to renewables while competitors continue leveraging fossil fuels. As with unsustainable populations and consumption, this situation was always inevitable (barring more major extinction events).

USA: Clean your air. China: No, you clean the air. Everyone: Why don’t we all clean the air? USA and China: ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)

@Jerry Hu You have to realise that China was opening massive numbers of coal-fired power stations though. Also their poverty is still huge, so of the 1.4 billion Chinese people not many can afford access to all of the resource intensive goods that Europe and America can use, yet. You also have to recognise that only 400 million people have a drivers license because the way you have to get it is through a raffle system. On top of this a million people die from China’s pollution in China each year. Also if you wanted to know the way that China’s poverty got reduced was by changing how poverty was counted: If you make $400 a year then you aren’t in poverty. Kurzegesagt kind of skipped over this fact, whether it was intentional or not i don’t know, but it does put China in a good light.

@BW- Left Turn Racing yup

in fact China was making effort for it,try google "China wind power" another fact, we still have a long way to go

Только признай себя виноватым, даже если сомневаешься в своей вине (всегда выгоднее признать себя виноватым, даже если не виноват, чем невиноватым, когда виноват), признай себя виноватым, и всё распутано и легко, спокойно и радостно.

This is such a good video! I lay awake almost every night thinking about these problems in the world

Incredible video. Thank you team for all that you do!!!

I remember seeing a comment on a video by a scientist reacting to Youtube comments One of the comments on that video said "Blaming China just because they produce 2x as much carbon emission as USA is stupid considering China's population is 2x bigger than USA and if you do it Carbon emissions per capita then you'd see that an average Chinese househood produce half as much carbon emissions as US households."

Respect for no adds , epic content , free content, better education than school and birds

@부계 it mean, thanks to the channel for putting good content out for free without ads in a format where i actually like to learn shit, man why you gotta be so angry at a yt comment. "im an elementary school student but want to study relativity" mate teach me elementary school stuff in a format where i dont feel bored and feel like studying is more of a chore, just making studying enjoyable is really respectable man. no hate but dude, sometimes its better to just ignore a comment made an year ago...

What does it mean specifically that you don't like the science you learn in school? Do you mean you want to study the story of the earth being flat? Or do you mean that I am an elementary school student but I want to study relativity?

This is way better than my teachers stuttering abt the birds and the bees

@ACB IXI Thank you so much. I always knew I had a higher IQ than everybody else, and I’m glad it got to be of use today. I hope you learn to be less small brain and transition over to being big brain like I am.

@The Immortal Sun-kun oh thank you great one, with this one extra letter the meaning of the entire sentence changed! i cant believe over a thousand of dumb people over the course of a year didn't point that out it must be because of there lowly brain capacity. but you are far superior with a much more novel job. i say this again thank you so much.

I love that this video is not biased . Most other channels blame developing countries like China and India .But these developed countries have contributed more than China and India in historical terms .But that is no excuse for these countries to follow the same path.

Nice video (I enjoy the animations and the style of this kind of infotainment) but too simple. Becoming carbon neutral e.g. via electric cars is not as environment friendly as it being advertised. Alternative technologies have their downsides. In Germany for example the shift to e-cars is one big greenwashing campaign and will mainly support the automobile industry. the production of batteries causes harm to already poor countries. It would be great if you could make a follow up video and discuss alternatives to CO2-intense productions. thank you

THE BEST explanation of Climate Change that I have seen. Thank you, Kurzgesagt.

It makes me sad when he says we could fix is starting today, but even after years it never happens

I really love how this video is not biased in any way and is full of correct facts

@duckofsvalbard jejus

Is it?

@Endurance Motor Vlog It's called SARCASM...

@Endurance Motor Vlog again reeducate yourself with current FACTS. The average expected human life span stopped increasing in 2019. The average expected life span has actually dropped each year since. Also the average human birth rate has lowered. People are having fewer babies each year. FACTS.

Short answer: Whos to blame?: everyone Who should fix it?: all of us

No you like the common part, people living in poverty don't care about climate change. Developed countries need to reduce consumption.

@עידן שריש everybody should help even if they didn't do nothing since it will effect everyone.

Undeveloped countrys should not help as much as countrys that can afford it

I’m Chinese. In fact, I think you’re right, but we can see from the data you gave that although China’s current carbon dioxide emissions are the highest or the highest in history, we can also see other things. In the data, China is very weak compared to Western countries. I am not interrupting the shirking of responsibility, but what I want to say is that we must be responsible for all of this, as you said: "This may be a stupid question." So if possible, I hope we can unite and fight against this "common enemy."（I'm using a translator to say it. After all, my English is bad enough, so I don’t know if you can understand some of them.）

Когда два человека ссорятся — всегда оба виноваты. И потому прекратиться может ссора только тогда, когда один из двух признает свою вину.

As an Australian, seeing the first part of the video thinking "wow we don't produce that much CO2 that's interesting" then seeing halfway in the video that we have among the highest carbon footprints per person in the world was quite disheartening.

@Glorfindel it is stilll bad that we produced so much CO2 per person when comparing us to other nations of our size

Australia has a considerably small population for it's massive size.

i am still surprised that we still aren't shitted upon a the global stage for this

it sucks to live in a world where all the people making the decisions are people who wont be alive to see the consequences of their actions

@Icyr0bin - I mean…. you could. You didn’t hear this from me.

Then why don’t you do something bout it?

@Endurance Motor Vlog oh, as a reply to your last comment....animals are not gonna survive those temperatures and you are an inhuman cuz you only think of yourself ...what about the other animals? Plants

"The harsh reality is that, it's the countries that contribute least to the problem that stand to lose the most from rapid climate change."

I believe that we should all take credit for climate change. China has definitely a lot of factories, but countries around the world are buying products from it. Smart countries like the USA, conserve fossil fuel for future uses or wait until fossil fuel is rare and they will sell it for large amounts of cash.

You forget 4) Who is the end consumer of CO2 emitted? It's all very well blaming China for the most CO2 output (although they are far behind many per capita), but if we are outsourcing all production to China, we are also outsourcing all pollution to them as well.

And this brings up what Ive said to myself many times, the worlds need to unite under one flag and eliminate currency. There really is no way to get around this problem without doing so.

"Until I am affected, I don't care enough." - The Human species.

What can I do anyways?

@Super PantMan not necessarily. If we dissappear altogether. Nature will heal itself and recover it's territory back

Who are these imaginary people that are saying this?

We're all responsible for it and it's time to stop throwing blame at others. We need to accept our mistakes and fix it fast, because at this point, we won't have a planet to save in the next 10-20 years.

This deserves to be one of the most viewed video on this channel.

I am of the opinion that all nations should advance to eliminate carbon output, and those that can should help those that cannot advance towards this agenda

Отчего мы так рады обвинять и так злобно, несправедливо обвиняем? Оттого, что обвинение других снимает с нас ответственность. Нам кажется, что нам дурно не оттого, что мы дурны, а оттого, что другие виноваты.

Environmental laws in a nutshell: Everyone agrees that everyone else should do more

That's humanity for you...

As a young apprentice in a developed country I am experiencing the hypocrisy from the wealthier of my own community whereby I can only afford a diesel car but am somehow expected to give up the little convenience I have to be cleaner for the environment. It takes two tango they need to make an affordable environmentally friendly car that people in developing countries could afford too, it won’t eliminate the problem but it’ll certainly help

no not cars, we need transit development

Thank you you make people think more about how we all live and how to take care of how we live ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent video, how can we get more people to watch this video, understand the right context and facts. I'm reading a book now, " To rule the Waves" by Bruce Jones, it's about how superpowers have used their control of oceans to dominate trade and prosper. Western powers imposed trade in Asia with Naval power to expand market access and establish disproportionate prosperity with goods produced in the west. When industrialization shifted to East, the same trade channels enabled cheaper production in East for better quality of life around the world. We can't turn off the current trade channels now, we are stuck with it. It's a shared responsibility by the west and the east to avoid the peril ahead of us, no doubt!

Its already being done in some places here in canada Quebec gets 95% of its electricity from hyrdo quebec(running water into electricity) And its not perfect but is a good start sadly most places dont have enough rivers so the bigger countries need to help them out and find a energy source that works for them

"Others acting irresponsibly yesterday is a horrible excuse for repeating the same mistakes today" - Kurzgesagt

Well poor countries will do the same mistakes because thats what their resources can only do.. Its easy to say that line when you're living in a rich country that have enough resources to curve this path but choose not to until now

If anything it is even more responsibility to act on correcting the irresponsible actions of the past. The descendants of major polluters of the past still bear their ancestors' responsibility to correct those mistakes. Especially if there was instances of wanton wastefulness. One example in many parts of Alberta's oil patch was the flaring of unwanted natural gas. I'm not talking about flaring sour gas to render is less dangerous, I'm talking about the stuff that is used as fuel, including at the time. The major issue is that there wasn't a delivery method in place to market so it was considered a waste product and burned at flaring sites just to get rid of it. This continued for decades, often never being corrected and only stopping when the companies in question went defunct. Just imaging the CO2 emissions that could have been avoided if that gas was instead captured and used thereby displacing extraction of other fuels. Especially if the emissions were made in stupidity, descendants of those people still bear historical responsibility.

@Stephen Webstwr LMAO this aged terribly check out kurzgesagts "can YOU fix climate change?" video

China promised to be carbon neutral by 2060. In Sept of 2021, Chinese scientists have developed a method to turn CO2 into starch and it is 8.5 times more efficient than the traditional way of starch production through farming. In Nov of 2021, Chinese scientists have developed a method to turn carbon monoxide into protein.

I love how everyone is saying how bad climate change is, but they don’t do anything about it. No point arguing about it if you’re not going to do it.

"Emissions by the West are lifestyle emissions, while for developing nations they are survival emissions." This is the best argument they've had. Previously, saying they need to pollute to industrialize because the West did was a weak and ignorant argument.

Everyone. Everyone is responsible and everyone needs to (help to)fix it.

"Almost every year has broken some horrible record." So 2020 is an overachiever

2022:

@Valentine Studios that didnt change a thing..CO2 stays in the air aswell as methane. The bathtub is already full and 2020 didnt change anything bc the sink is clogged.

@Lol Lol 2022 is already waiting

Lol 2021

@Suchir Kumaravel nonononononononono PLEASE NO

I don't think it's just one countrys fault and they need to fix it alone , we are all in this

«Негодует на нас небо за наши грехи, а мир — за наши добродетели». Перед Богом виноваты мы за наши грехи, люди же большей частью считают нас виноватыми и осуждают за то, что есть в нас доброго, но НЕСОГЛАСНОГО с жизнью большинства.

you guys put so much effort in to your animations!

Australia’s 17 tons per capita is also an outlier for the same reason the oil countries are an outlier. We are a country that exports lots of fossil fuels so we have a very high per capita output

The fact that some people deny climate change is just shocking.

@The Pope The proponents of it? What are you smoking?

@Ryan Mesler Why do you say that?

You’re right we need to stop climate change I’ve been trying to figure that out for I think a few months now even though I’m 8 yrs old still need to find out a plan for when I’m older

Developed countries should take slightly more responsibilty by giving some grants and by sharing their technology in low cost with us so that developing countries generate less carbon dioxide. They just can not force us to reduce carbon emission without any type of help and facility.

Imagine causing unnecessary emissions just because you are too stubborn to share technology because you want to exclusively profit from it. This system is fucked and will be our downfall.

I'll do my best to limit climate change, then hopefully in time (We don't have) we'll limit climate change by consensus.

love how the bottom line for all these videos is "the blame game DOES NOT MATTER, we need to SHUT UP AND FIX IT"

I love how you break this huge topic into small "answer-able" questions!

That's how education works: Chunk a problem up into understandable parts, and keep feeding chunks at different abstraction levels until people understand a complex topic.

answerable is a real word :)

@Neil Fox for me with this topic, it is. It's not "just" science or statistics or data. It's the ethic perspective that would make me struggle to answer the question. But they kind of made a mathematical equasion out of it and told us what each variable means.....so i found it very helpful :)

It's not hard to figure out

True

Doesn't matter who's fault it is, what matters is if we don't do something it'll be humanities problem.

Just a thought: this is a global crisis, everyone, every country is responsible. Why are we trying to blame other countries?

Last year my class was looking at the climate change happening in BC. We got to talking about fairy creek, where protesters are defending the forests. Police have been illegally arresting people and protestors, and completely ignoring that these trees are so old. You see, the older a tree gets the more oxygen it emits. Because the older it gets, the more it understands the tree pollen language and the more it understands how to change carbon into oxygen. This also reduces the amount of carbon they make during the night. (Yeah, trees make carbon as well 💀) anyways, logging this huge old forest will have a huge effect on our land. And I raised my hand while we were talking and I said “I feel like the government needs to look into this. Because John Horgan seems to agree with the protestors, but is not putting up action to stop it. The government has no real initiative and is only trying to please all the people. Are we all really so incompetent that we can’t look at the facts and realize, that Canada was founded in 1870-1890. Our country is so new compared to every other country! So, how have we already extremely effected it’s climate? Is our country really that safe?” So, a super long argument about how stupid this was. Then this other kid raises his hand. He said this: “yeah but I literally don’t care about fairy creek, can we move on? Because this literally doesn’t affect me..” 🤡

Maybe looking at population size as well would be a better measure. China looks worse than the US but if you did it by Co2 per capita. The US would be worse. Nevertheless, blame games never work. Trying to blame a country into acting out of guilt never works. Instead we need people to find global solutions and just determine funding for these solutions.

We haven't found a solution for climate change yet, but- we're definitely getting warmer..

@svensis Yes some climate is in cycles, but not when it's the climate change this generation is concerned with, climate change people are talking about now is def man made.

@svensis focus on a insectoid now for thing

@svensis what

산업혁명 이후 이산화탄소 배출량이 급격히 증가했으며 기후변화에 많은 문제를 야기하고 있습니다. 청청 에너지에 대한 관심과 사소할지라도 개개인의 실천도 중요하다고 생각합니다.

We're all to blame. So we should all do our part to fix this.

说得很好，很中立。作为一名中国人我也应该开始践行在生活中减少碳排放的责任。支持

Unfortunately time machines have not been invented yet, so it’s not possible for the developed world to just take over the climate issues, just like you cannot punish parties (be it individual or collectives) retroactively. Best thing the West can do is technological innovation. China and India are individually large enough markets to warrant products for them alone which invalidates the energy standard argument. There is no way for the US to reduce their historical emissions, but there absolutely a way for China and India to follow in the emissions reduction efforts they agreed to. Nuclear specifically is a great way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels but both of China and India build more coal power plants, while the West ties itself into pretzels in attempts to optimize away their “unnecessary” emissions, assuming we want to maintain any level of living standards

Every country agrees that every other country should do more to handle climate control.

@Misty I think it's the other countries that should ask US citizen for help. The government US has is because of its citizens

@PittSteelers 26 ok scrooge, so you're saying we do nothing? Thanks for your opinion

You people just want to worry about something where youre making a difference. You guys will just follow any steps they tell you to do and think you're making a difference and look down on those who don't. Every one in this comment section will be dead and they will still be talking about climate change.

I'm in US and worrying about climate change is a waste of time

There is just a little problem here. There were a lot of climate changes in the Earth history and we cannot say that the climate change hasnt caused by some other factors.

We’ll rewatch this video in 2050 right before doomsday and think why hadn’t we done anything back then 🥲

The United States has the greatest potential of the developed western nations to lead by example. So much energy is taken up by poor urban planning zoning, and car dependency that even reaching half of the european standard for transportation would dramatically cut US Greenhouse gas emissions. But I fear that changing car culture is extremely hard, although it is doable and is slowly being fixed

In the modern day the UK is a actually doing very well relative to other developer nations. Finally got something to be proud about of this country.

Loved the ways you guys make us "travel" through the data like that. Seriously a complex topic explained very quickly and efficiently. All my support to you :D

Yeah try and talk about this to a flat earth'er then you'll get what I mean haha...

Yeet

Climate change, in my opinion, is a very broad topic. People point the finger at large corporations, the meat industry, and so on, but the truth is that everyone on the planet is to blame. The unfortunate fact about climate change is that there is no other way to stop climate change unless every single individual changes their lifestyle to help offset the impact of climate change by eating less meat, driving less, recycling, and so on. We've already ruined the planet beyond repair. Our way of life is so dependent on these environmental factors that in order to make a difference, we'd have to give up everything that makes our lives what they are.

As a Brazilian I was glad by the fact Brazil wasn't even mentioned in the video. But honestly, I feel like capitalism can't sustain itself anymore ANYWHERE. But rich countries are always so afraid to talk about socialism...

Não importa se o país é socialista ou capitalista, ele sempre vai pensar em si próprio, pois a maldade e egoísmo são inerentes ao ser humano

could you also show the CO2 concentration changes over time?

a good metric to provide alongside this video is the percentage of greenhouse gasses humans release in proportion to all other sources released.

It becomes even more complicated when u factor in that most of goods produced in China are consumed in western countries.. a lot of services provided in india are for western and European countries..

@AryaN developing countries should focus on themselves…

@AryaN Bro, capitalism is what is causing the several climate disasters.

US production has been gutted, this gives us an initiative to take those jobs back. I get that it's cheaper to export these industries but they're more of a pollutant when we send them offshore because we can turn our eyes away on safety, materials and method in exchange for a cut in costs.

simple answer: it doesn't matter. we all need to stop arguing over who started the fire and just work together to put it out, before it kills us all. rich and developed countries need to invest as much money as possible into developing better clean technologies to make them as cheap and efficient as possible, and then developing countries need to actually use that tech. rich countries do the development so that poor countries can do the installment. doesn't seem that complicated to me. i feel like the argument of responsibility isn't *really* trying to figure out who should fix the problem, its just an attempt to make sure that they *dont* have to do it. everyones trying to absolve themselves of fault, and thats the biggest problem, nobody *really* cares to just fix it. not world leaders at least, only civilians do, which cant do shit.

May I ask where was the emission logged, on the point of consumption or the point of production? Whose emission is the factory that produces for Western markets, but is located in China or India? Whose emission is the logistics via a Danish shipping company, ferrying goods from Indonesia to Canada? These are very significant methodological questions that at the very least should be transparent in the video, but preferably argued for/against.

Great explanation, very objective view!

"we need to get it down to 0" that would be great but impossible. we'd go back to the stone age in regard to tools etc. and it'd be extremely hard for society to function. instead we want to lower it. reminder to walk if you can, turn off light when they aren't needed, use reusable plastic, recycle and do everything you can to save our planet :D

Politicians be like: "How can I be responsible for climate change? I never wanted it!"

@Kraptonite yes they certainly will reduce it soon or later, they had to

@anoon and so does USA during the 20th century how about you who has the resource start reducing on it too its not like you emit below 10 percent of emission

@Football Nerd what's weird is the Chinese dont care about global warming lol

Donald Trump "Climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese"

Green-Omb also politicians: yes oil companies I will take your donations to not enact laws limiting emissions.

It's a shame to have to include the fires in California in these statistics, seeing how Every One of the huge fires the area has experienced lately could All have been extremely limited instead of being so destructive, if only the absolute Morons in charge of the state would allow for firebreaks to be cut in the forests. Experience after Experience shows that the damage would have been lessened immensely, and the animals are not affected in any negative way...In fact, nature THRIVES in the places where we humans have cut firebreaks. Maybe if the People of California wake the F up and elect people with common sense, maybe, then they could go about NOT burning themselves out of their beautiful forests.

Notice how he conveniently forgot to mention the wonder of nuclear energy with its zero emissions whatsoever

Its sad that countries are blaming others for releasing more gases- but in reality we need to stop the böaming and start working together to help save the planet.

Conclusion:- We all are stupid Solution:- Stop being jerks

Love how most counties play the blaming game, rather than finding an actual solution together.

@HendrikdePendrik These would also hurt humanity in the long term ,giving bright minds less option to be of high utility, solving a problem that can be easily solved by existing technology (nuclear ,yes the one that is, safer , more efficient and better for the environment then coal ,unlike most options witch are one of the 3)

Working together you say, I wish my dreams where as happy as yours lol

tbf europe doing more than rest of the world together in the effort of renewable and clean energy, so yall other countries better start pulling some weight.

@Kevin Corrigan Don't blame him for that awnser. He's unfortunately right. Humans are short sighted pleasure seekeres, and a government saying its gonna spend your money on problems in farawayistan to solve climate things that won't affect you for another century isn't going to get elected. It's dumb, but right now that's how many think.

It makes perfect sense to me why nations literally founded on competition, greed, and conquest (as opposed to cooperation, sustainability, and peace) would be reluctant to cooperate globally for the benefit of all humanity. At some point, we're going to have to critically evaluate the foundations of our own culture and history, because it influences our actions and attitudes on the world.

I always remember that "No.A" said, "The only way is to dramatically reduce population and industry."

"Others acting irresponsibly yesterday is a horrible excuse for repeating the same mistake today" by acting irresponsibly developed countries have acquired their wealth, now third world countries also want to do the same

Судья и суды — это люди с щепками в глазах, выглядывающие соринки в других, — это слепые, водящие слепых, это учителя мести и злобы, не могущие ничему иному научить, как мести и злобе.

Let's fix the problem first and find out later who is to blame (if it still matters)... with time on our side.

“Who is responsible for climate change?” Everyone “Who needs to fix it?” Everyone

If we go in Mars it will become trash like earth

Only humans

That is true, everyone is responsible including me and you.

Can we play this on repeat on the monitors at the COP26 meeting, please?! And afterwards on all the advertising screens all over the world? Yes? Come on.

Answer to who's responsible: Everyone Answer to who's needs to fix it: Everyone We are all responsible for this planet and we're focused on who's to blame instead of just working on it, once we get it fixed we don't need to worry who was responsible because it is fixed, I mean seriously instead being worried about who's to blame which could take centuries to figure out and get them to accept it, if we just stop asking who's to blame and ask how we fix it then we've solved half the problem already

We all are to blame and we all need to fix it!
