If global temperatures rise three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the results would be catastrophic. It’s an entirely plausible scenario, and this film shows you what it would look like.

97% of climate scientists agree that anthropogenic global warming fraud is directing large amounts of money into their bank accounts.
😂😂
Hi climate researcher and scientist here. Just wanted to tell that we won't survive 3 degrees of warming. People will fall to the geound like flies. Its that dangerous. Even if you literally throw yourself into a freezer, theres no chance.
I am from Puducherry, India and face more heat than the larger in 14 years. It's regularly 100 deg C.
MAN MADE BY AMERICAN NASA
Hahaha. Since when have climate models been CORRECT?
Governments won't do it, it´s us. Only us through our consumption.
I Live in india Maharashtra…we are facing extream heat waves…
do not let trump continue his denial of Climate Change and the 6th Great Extinction !!!
Prior to Trump's victory, we were already halfway there hitting 1.5°C this year. We will see this world BY 2050!
We humans left this world with such a mess who agrees with me?
W Polsce przydałoby się 3 stopnie więcej szczególnie zimą 😂😂😂😂😂
And now that Trump won 2024 it will never be fixed
"World Leaders" are you serious? The Americans have just voted in a clown who believes climate warming is a hoax. Humanity is lost.
Take care of yourselves, you have lost a person of great light to change something in this world that is so bad, a person who does not respect others or respect the climate or the environment has taken the presidency, I have a book that is going to come out soon in Spain in Spanish(for now) talking about a truth that many need to know.
When I was growing up in Ohio back in the 1950's and 60's I remember having snow on the ground on Halloween. We have recently been hearing from family that temperatures have been in the 60~80° range for some time.(11/5/24)
Best advice is to ask the opinion of the Dinosaurs. Global warming was upon the earth millions of years before the human animal arrived. There was no word called Global Warming or even any language to write or speak of Global warming.
Yet there was Global warming.
So the Dinosaurs are the ones to ask.
They know.
We are already at 1.5 so hitting 3 degrees is far more likely.
That hairy guy makes this seem kinda sketchy
Thank you for your valuable information
What will a lithium and cobalt polluted world be like after this climate change madness has reached fruition.
The Economist has investors to serve as usual.
I remember the fear caused in 1970 when projected population growth was going to double the population on the same resources. They were wrong; the population tripled, but farmers figured out how to feed them.
We are at a solar maximum. Shouldn't we take steps to avoid the next ice age? Which way is the right way? We have no idea.
We all need to be worried about an increase in globally warming. It is certainly deadly.
Can't wait till I see humans screaming for help. Specially the ones who didn't think this was going to happen. ❤
This is the perfect muslc ambient for documentaries and historical narratives that is ideal for portraying empires , current history of modern day countries and dictators like napoleon, and events like the absolutism era

What causes global warming? The release of greenhouse gases caused by the use of fossil fuels right? Partially correct. There are two other factors: 1) the loss of living biomass — or the conversion of resources that would otherwise support them into non-living things. What's the connection? If Carbon can't accumulate in the standing stock of living biomass, then it must accumulate somewhere, and it does! In our atmosphere and in our oceans! Thus global warming and loss of ecological biomass are one and the same problem. 2) the rate of greenhouse gas emissions. Natural systems can't keep up. Solution: Simultaneously reduce the rate of greenhouse gas emissions, embark on a massive adaptive ecological restoration focusing on the establishment of food forests capable of sustaining BOTH human AND ecological organisms. Place as much non-residential structures and infrastructure as possible underground or in space, reserving the surface of the Earth for living things. Create an ecologically literate population that recognizes that human survival, health and well-being is totally dependent upon the survival, health and well-being of or internal and external ecosystem, redefine wealth as the same, build an ecologically based and constrained economy using ecologically based and ecologically constrained technology. Act as the keystone species and build up the capacity of the ecosystem to sustain human life, using the excess productive capacity to grow the human economy. That's our only viable way forward. Let's get started!
The problem is actually believing that a top down solution will be forthcoming. It will not… it never does. So, only a bottom up solution is viable. How? Start with yourself. Place ALL of your critical subsistence life-support system requirements under your own ownership and control — many of which are rooted in the survival, health and well-being of the ecosystem. Partner eith others in mutualistic networks until colectively, you are self-sufficient and self-sustaining. By subsistence, I mean all those support systems that you require to live and retain your health and well-being NOT an accumultion of material wealth. Expand the network, considering the subsistence needs of the group as a whole. Repeat at progressively higher levels of aggregation up to and including the world as a whole.
Back in the 90's and early 2000's, we never had any aircondiion and can sleep on the porch at noon. Now, we can hardly take a nap on the porch by 9am.
warm climate will bring new glacial era 100% and that happen many time before on earth they stress ppls again
