Very understated. It will be a miracle if we make 2030. Everything mentioned in this video and more is already happening now.

The problem is with companies and their planned obsolence of objects that they produce . Objects become useless so quick like our phones. Creates a lot of unnecessary trash.

Listening to this reminded me of an essay I wrote 2 decades back when I was in 5th standard for my school test. But as I grew up I learnt it is impossible to educate the billions of ignorant and illiterate people in the globe to use natural resources wisely.

I'm watching this again 7 months later. At 5:19, it says by 2023, there's a 50% chance of rising to 1.5 degrees. Today, May 17 2023. Temperatures are 1.67 degrees above baseline. The oceans had record temps 13 months in a row. Global temps have had 11 months in a row of record temps. 2023 was the hottest year, and it looks like 2024 is going to bear that. We're going to expire sooner than the predictions. A lot sooner.

The planet is not at our mercy, it will go on without us, we may not be around for it.. this is the attitude we have to let go of.. no one is at our mercy except us

Earth is not getting an expiration date. We the humans and other living are getting. Without us earth will repair itself.

These type of videos should be played before every global leaders meeting,be it UN,G-7/8/10/20/77, NATO,brics,SCO,asean and must make our leaders realise about this alarming situation And WHAT IT TAKES TO DEAL WITH IT😢

Excellent short presentation of the STATE OF THE WORLD!

Instead of enforcing rules and regulations, i say, enforce education, awareness and sustainability of life on earth.

The earth isn’t going anywhere….. We are.

Very happy to hear you making people aware of this damage that they are doing to their own habitable earth

Greed is the primary consciousness hurdle. Greed of $, greed of having lots of kids, greed of having huge houses, greed of having lots of vehicles, greed of consumption of everyday products, greed for food, alcohol, drugs, sex & so on. Consciousness will only learn the folly of greed once our species is humbled by scarcity of all those things we have greed for, then out of that will come a new more balanced consciousness of respecting the planet.

That's estimation, in reality we are way to faster pace

The fleas on the dog must stop fighting about who owns the dog 😮

Yes, indeed, we are living on borrowed money, borrowed time and on borrowed hope.

Thank you for saying it like it is. I'm so tired of people denying it, hiding it, or outright lying about it for financial gain. It's time we all get more enlightened about the consequences already set in motion.

Very interesting video, thanks. Your summary of the issues was great, but a little optimistic, I fear. All the evidence, to me, suggests that we are headed for a near-term collapse. Unfortunately, climate change is only one of many aspects of this overshoot (others include soil degradation, collapse of insect numbers, collapse of fish stocks, severe pollution of land sea and air, poor management of fresh water, habitat loss, mass extinction of wild species, increasing pandemic vulnerability, worrying population projections, proliferation of PFAs and micro-plastics, decreasing mineral and fertiliser availability, the persistence of new bird flu strains and their devastating effect on the poultry industry etc, etc) and it is the combination of all of these impacts - together with our quite severe global economic and energy-related challenges, that have led the well informed to their somewhat bleak outlook. And that's before you even consider the increasingly tense geopolitical landscape, the seemingly unstoppable rise of the hard right, and the impact of rapidly developing use of AI in all aspects of our lives. Even climate scientists can be prone to myopia on the big picture issues. They are used to viewing the world though a narrow lens and this can impede their ability to see the bigger picture. A climate scientist might, for example, suggest that we have decades before the worst climate impacts are witnessed, which may be true according to some models, but this belies the fact that the climate is only one of a myriad of issues that threaten our way of life. I find that systems experts and those from more generalised academic disciplines tend to be the ones who see things most clearly, as they seem adept at 'joining the dots' in the way that is necessary to truly understand the perilous state of our predicament. The 'doomer' movement is growing with every failed COP, and now includes some very eminent scientists. Alternatively, the likes of Michal Mann and others who refuse to accept our predicament are now in a minority and their pleas, like your own, are sounding increasingly plaintive against the backdrop of relentlessly bleak news and data. And it hasn't escaped our attention that climate scientists are increasingly reporting that the pace of climate change is taking them by surprise - making their previous models and predictions look somewhat optimistic, to say the least. There have been a huge number of scientific articles and reports in recent years that have highlighted the extent to which the latest data is puzzling scientists. What was thought to have been a slow process is, in fact, racing away from us at breakneck speed. I, for one, expect that trend to continue, and even accelerate, and I see no value in clinging to the hope that our (hitherto ineffective) governments will suddenly see sense, untether themselves from fossil fuel interests and act rapidly and purposefully on this issue. Let us face it...that is simply not going to happen. Rather, the methods that have been used so effectively to date (misinformation, the systematic undermining of science and scientists, the use of funds to 'buy' political influence etc) will be ramped up and will result in further political inertia until we finally enter a collapse phase. Pretending things are not as bad as they are is disempowering people from making the kind of sensible decisions that might give them a chance at surviving climate chaos by becoming more resilient. A person who is of the view that things are 'in hand' and governments still have time to respond will not act with due urgency by taking control of their own food, water and energy needs. It's time to face facts....Our governments are not going to solve this problem, no fix-all technology is on the horizon and things are going to get very bad, very quickly. Let's be grown up and start having this difficult, but necessary conversation.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

The only realistic option is if governments can provide funding for research projects that can purify seawater or clean soil/air instead of spending it all on weapons.......
