If you've enjoyed any of the videos on the channel and want to support me, then you're welcome to buy me a slice of (virtual) pizza via the buymeacofffe wesbsite - www.buymeacoffee.com/counteverything There are no benefits to you, apart from receiving my thanks. I don't need the money, but I do sometimes need the motivation.

I cried myself to sleep so many times out of the fear of societal collapse and now I’m coming to terms with it, if it happens, let it, if not, wonderful, i won’t be living in fear anymore. I’m praying for the best but expecting the worst. I won’t be bringing children in this world as sad as that is to say. I couldn’t bare to see them suffer knowing what lies ahead. Not to ring any alarms, I’m not suicidal but once collapse happens, I’ll be leaving this world with it.

It IS collapsing. The rate of collapse is arguable, but not the fact that it is occurring.

Count, you are not being pessimistic. You are describing the horrific reality that our over-consumption and over-population will bring in coming decades, I have degrees in physics and engineering, and have been at first interested, then concerned, and now fearful of our civilisation's future train-wreck. If most people were motivated to do something about these problems and we had governments who were able to persuade us to commit to the needed changes to our mode of civilization, we might stand a chance. The reality is that self-interest, greed and ignorance are rampant. The necessary actions to escape the trap we are in will not be taken, and consequently human civilisation will be destroyed. The few survivors will never be able to rebuild civilisation because the needed environment and resources will no longer be available to us. Human civilisation is doomed.

You are not being pessimistic. My understanding is that the IPCC report does not take into account tipping points. Things will be far worse than they predict as the tipping points have already been passed. Refer to Professor Guy McPherson

Anyone who imagines that civilization exist beyond 2040 is a starry eyed optimist.

Hey there Count!! I live in Australia and wildfire and flooding have definitely increased in the last few years . The climate has gradually changed with weather systems coming from different directions than normal and the weather systems are more severe when they arrive. It is a bleak future. Thank you for your videos and the amount of research you have done to create them

If you wonder why these kind of videos and predictions in general about upcoming disaster never receive the widespread attention they deserve, I have figured out a simple rule that I guess described it pretty well: If humans hear about a disaster that will happen further away than some days to months, they think there is still enough time and don’t take it too seriously. If humans hear about an imminent disaster, they only care about themselves and people close to them and their survival and don’t inform anyone else than those people close to them. That is just my humble perception.

About 4.5 minutes in and you are exactly right! Climate change is a problem but it is built on a fragile market with just-in-time delivery and other wasteful practices. This is related to the idea that money that isn't working is wasted and is, in the end, built on the failure of capitalism. As you explained, capitalists prefer debt to savings and dynamism to stability. They prefer growth to life.

You spell it all out better than a scientist, and I’ve been watching and listening to quite a few. A credit to you, and a big thanks for your efforts.

Prof. Guy McPherson presents peer reviewed scientific articles that are MUCH more pessimistic than your sources. I agree with his sources. His conclusion is that it is far too late to slow, let alone stop or reverse, abrupt, lethal, climate change. old geologist

Some of us saw this coming as my first job was with BELL LABS and in 1958 they warned about Global Warming with their one hour TV Show ! I later moved back to Florida designing sonar systems for the Navy and became political chair of the area Sierra Club and we tried to push population control but the religious types freaked out and canceled their memberships ! But I managed to become Mayor of a Coastal City and helped create coastal wetland parks instead of huge areas of Condos ! We spent Trillions on useless Wars and occupyed our minds with Sports while our Planet began to die from overpopulation !

A cogent presentation...not pessimistic, but probably somewhat optimistic given the way people will continue to treat each other throughout the unfolding disasters ahead... 'Greed is its own worst enemy' I'm editing this space to include that it is everyone's responsibility to recognize, and conserve resources right now...i'm telling you that you can live on 4 or 5L of water per person daily...for enough that you truly need to exist on... I have done so these past 13 1/2 years now and depend on meager solar for my battery recharge...my only major vulnerability is needing propane to heat at night here in the desert over winter...i am mobile enough to move around in my RV to follow temperatures seasonally, but choose to drive as little as possible...i store enough food to overcome shortages locally, so maybe i'm paying it forward a bit overall...it would be encouraging if more people embraced a survivability mindset rather than merely to "wait and see"...you see, by the time it is upon you, you will only actually be able to perish and beg for the end to come quickly. Good luck to you!

Good work putting this together, very interesting and tough to do at the same time im sure. For me what i find really troubling is the total realisation that the infinite growth economic paradigm we have been living under all this time is a complete lie given a finite planet, it really has just been man versus the natural world all this time and every day we wake up and carry on with the lie. Once again great work, really appreciate the effort : )

No hope, thank you. Hope is the enemy of grief, which has five stages to it. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance. The planet should be in hospice, but the people with big money invested who will be dead soon, want to carry on as usual. They are at stage one. Do yourselves a favour and think about this excellent presentation and move through the stages. Acceptance is a great place to be. Enjoy each day as it comes to you. Stop striving, be kind, smell the roses and quit your pension scheme.

So based over here in NZ, i'm trying to get people to see what is happening now. A lot of intense rainfall, drought, and much stronger wind events (which I think is what will really harm the Pacific). Yes we can rebuild after each event. But as they become bigger and more frequent, we spend more and more of GDP on "standing" still, which gives us even fewer resources to devote to mitigating and adapting. At least here, I feel we can see this process in action. That more frequent intense events are sapping our resources, and as people feel less wealthy, they are even less likely to want resources to go to the climate process so much as helping them coping with their situation.

Don't forget about global tourism. I live in a small very popular Cotswold village and we get up 6000 visitors a day in season. These people come from all over the world including India and China. They fly here, take a tour bus, buy cheap plastic crap (That's made in China) fly back home, wonder why they bought it and throw it into landfill. This goes on year in year out. Then we have all the cars that arrive and flood the village (Car spaces in two large car parks for 1000 cars) When they are full they park on the residential areas so the residents can't park at home. It's a nightmare. You know! It's no wonder we're doomed and TBH it's good riddance to a crappy species like us. The things I feel sorry for are the millions of animal and plant species that will go extinct because of us who deserve the little blue planet more....

Hi Count, I first started watching your videos when preparing to walk the Camino (St Jean to Santiago) as you provided some really interesting comment. I'm now very pessimistic about our future. My best hope was that the US would lead the world in fighting climate change, but Biden is struggling to do anything. I'm really staggered at the naivety of the general public, and the almost total lack of interest in what will undoubtedly hit everyone in the coming years. It's so sad that your superb presentation has had 562 views when 'The Skilled Man Brilliantly Fixing A Car Radiator' has had 913,000 views since late June! Very few people take the trouble to look at climate change videos. Looking forward to you next video. Many thanks, Chris

Very well done. You explain things quite well. Thank you.

I'm a medical school student and after seeing a presentation I did for a climate club I founded here on the causes to and solutions to the climate crisis, one of the professors asked me to do a lecture in one of the curriculums for "the health impacts of the climate crisis". I want you to know that this video was instrumental in putting several parts of that presention together. Thank you for organizing this crucial information in such an efficient manner for those of us who then seek to pass it on.

People sleep at night by denying facts and responsibility and some belief that someone else will save the day. Afterall we’ve never gone extinct before!

These 40 minutes of lecture are well worth listening to! No, this lecturer is not being pessimistic or alarmist, he is just summarizing the best science currently available. Personally, I think this honesty is refreshing. There is a lot of magical thinking on climate change, even among climate activists, (or maybe especially among climate activists). The speaker does a quick and especially good debunking of the carbon capture scam, for example.

It didn't take 20 years for England to experience temperatures over 40 celcius, it only took 2 weeks!

Good presentation. England right now is experiencing the kind of temps you weren't expecting for several years. Meanwhile here, the Australian government is planning new coal and gas mines. No one hold their breath for any type of useful climate change policies.

Hi Andrew, so many comments. You got the right theme here. Keep well ❤❤

Thank you Count, for a thoughtful and realistic exploration of the possible future.

When there is no food in the shops, no petrol at the filling station and no water in the taps people will begin to blame. Here, on my Island home, (Vancouver Island Canada), the government is leveling the forests. The wildlife is dyeing due to habitat loss as herbicides and pesticides are sprayed into the forest to protect corporate interests. People unapologetically consume, burn and drive. Here on this place, the only place in the cosmoses where we know there to be life and, without hesitation we tern the wonders of the known universe into cold, stale cash. Well done people, well done, everything evil and foul in the cosmos is impressed.

Thank you. This is a service to us. You have been quite moderate on your presentation. It works best that way. It's the best that can be done. Very reasonable and simple enough presentation of conditions ... as reasonable a check of available science as it provides.

The much-maligned Guy McPherson is spot on, give or take a few years.

You may be too optimistic. Like pointed out by many scientists, IPCC don't consider positive feedbacks (tipping points if you will) like growing permafrost and arctic methane releases. So it can well be 3 C by 2040 or 2050.

Likely no one will see my comment but I'll make it anyway. There is a solution to the CO2 problem that is available now. The trouble is that it would require the ending of wars and the military machine and then have global cooperation. There is a system using a large installation that is put in the ocean, it is neither labor or power consuming once in place but is an expensive unit (although way cheaper than war. It is estimated that about 460 of them need to be built and put into the oceans around the world. It combines the CO2 with elements in the ocean to create Lime which then settles to ocean bottom to be stored basically forever. With huge amounts removed from the oceans, they would then absorb the CO2 from the air. None of the straight air removal systems will ever work. It is also known that wind turbines can now be placed in deep ocean and straight into the earth's wind tunnels and could produce twice what the world needs daily in power. The catch is, "The whole world needs to cooperate to make it happen!" That is a joke as they can't even stop useless wars as we watch the world burn up. So 'Count Everything', after studying climate for years, (I am over 80yo), your timeline and analysis is quite correct. I do think it will happen faster as the polar ice caps and glaciers are disappearing much more rapidly then expected and the secondary emissions of CO2 and methane, etc., are rapidly coming into play. I had hoped to live to 100 but pretty much doubt that to be a good idea anymore! Keep up the good work.

Outstanding. Well done. Thanks.

19:45 one scientist calculated that Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) would require 38 million articulated lorry sized units world wide running 24/7 for 30 years just to stop CO2 emissions increasing. The amount of fossil fuels burned to make those machines would far outway any emissions captured, even if we had the mineral resources to make that many.

Excellent work! I can't wait for the next series. I hope this time you could add what if a nuclear scenario could turn out to be, what would happen to wild life and ecosystems, how the climate crisis could accelerate in a fewer years, and how pandemics and mass migrations play out due to climate crises.

I love this guy He always says it like it is! 2053 - I'll be 100 yrs old, not looking forward to that! I have been teaching about global warming/ climate change since the 1980s and I am sure geography, science and other teachers around the world have done the same, so by now there should be enough awareness to take action faster than we see. Here's hoping that governments will actually pay attention now and take action, stop funding fossil fuel use and development, put that investment into alternatives for energy, transport and industry before it really is too late. Since the 1990s I have set my students an essay on "future wars will be fought over water". Sadly the inertia between knowledge and action may truly be the end of our civilisation.

By the time it is critical, which is now, the governments will start to act....which, of course, is and will continue to be far too late.

I think the thing to keep in mind is that for those rare places where intelligence arises, civilisation and culture is the flower produced by the vine. Like all flowers civilisation will come to its end; it is as natural a thing as life itself. If one were to ask my naive opinion, I would muse that death of a civilisation occurs when it no longer has the means or will to produce anything beautiful. When art and wisdom are exchanged for monetary goals, there is nothing there but competition and attrition; an artificial, made up analog of nature. There is nothing beautiful about an economy, it is forever hungary and we are all to be thrown to it. Perhaps our future is on a place like Mars with people like Elon. I don't know, I'm just thinking to myself as my fingers run the keyboard. Cheers mate, I truly appreciate what you are expressing.

That’s exactly what i’m thinking as well. How can people not freak out about this???

Excellent video. Terrifying content. A third video to look forward to. Thank you Count you seem like a genuinely decent man, I hope you sleep well tonight.

In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only heat.

A communication problem for scientists is that these are probabilistic models, and there is still year-to-year variation. E.g farming getting harder, there could still be good years where we successfully get crop yields, but there are also going to be years when all the bad events line up. As odds go from once in 100 years to less than 1 in 10 years, the chance of simultaneous bad outcomes becomes much more real, but that is hard for mos people to get.

Honestly these numbers should be revised: 2022 to 2030 1.2C to 1.5C --> 1.5C to 1.9C 2030 to 2040 1.5 to 2C --> 1.9C to 2.4C 2040 to 2050 2C to 2.5C --> 2.4C to 3C 2050 to 2070 2.5C to 3C --> 3C to 5C 1. First of all, the IPCC is improperly basing their 'baseline' "The choice of baseline period has often been governed by availability of the required climate data. Examples of adopted baseline periods include 1931 to 1960 (Leemans and Solomon, 1993), 1951 to 1980 (Smith and Pitts, 1997), or 1961 to 1990 (Kittel et al., 1995; Hulme et al., 1999b). There may be climatological reasons to favour earlier baseline periods over later ones (IPCC, 1994). For example, later periods such as 1961 to 1990 are likely to have larger anthropogenic trends embedded in the climate data, especially the effects of sulphate aerosols over regions such as Europe and eastern USA (Karl et al., 1996). In this regard, the �ideal� baseline period would be in the 19th century when anthropogenic effects on global climate were negligible. Most impact assessments, however, seek to determine the effect of climate change with respect to �the present�, and therefore recent baseline periods such as 1961 to 1990 are usually favoured. A further attraction of using 1961 to 1990 is that observational climate data coverage and availability are generally better for this period compared to earlier ones." "The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) used the 20-year period 1986-2005 as the baseline in many graphs in the Fifth Assessment...." " The global surface temperature (shown as annual anomalies from a 1850-1900 baseline) has increased by around 1.1°C since 1850-1900 (panel (c)). T" (AR6_SYR_Longer_Repor) What exact baseline are they using? it isn't clear...and they are doing a disservice not being clear to the public and just spouting off "1.5C...1.5C" - relative to what? And their website is so convulsed and hard to find the crucial points for the mass public to even read and understand! While the IPCC is concerned with having a 'proper data set' to establish a baseline, the reality is, these baseline periods already have the effects of climate change - if they were to be real and honest, the IPCC would need to use the correct baseline before humans started using fossil fuels at enormous quantities when hums lived in authentic thermodynamic balance, which means from at least the 1750's ending by 1850's before the insane spike in human population due to fossil fuels. But the IPCC is distorted because they want to base 'realty' off of industrial society because they do not want to scare of those who fund them. In short, we are already at 1.5C in 2023 compared to the pre 1850's reality - when humans lived within authentic thermodynamic balance with nature. 2. Capitalism is the root cause of climate change. Let's make it simple to understand: 1. Capitalism forces you to work, converting Earth's resources into money to live, using fossil fuels --> 2. That process destroys the biosphere and emits a medley of greenhouse gasses --> 3. And due to physics, chemistry, thermodynamics and the carbon cycle, this gradually raises the Earth's temperature and climate systems --> 4. Feedback loops in Earth systems exacerbate climate change WHILE 5. Capitalist market economics demands constant growth and sustained cyclical consumerism to function --> 6. More destruction of the biosphere in order to feed market capitalism It is THERMODYNAMICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to have a constant growth, market-based, debt-based society - PERIOD. Science and nifty technology cannot allow us to 'have our cake and eat it too' but do you honestly see the 1% ownership class giving up their economic system that gives them power and wealth? Do you see your fellow 99% working class giving up their 1st world lifestyles to live in balance with nature who are conditioned to work and consume as a reward - whose entire identities are built on their job and being a consumer?

The MIT has predicted a collapse of society in 2040 based on a new assessment of the Club of Rome report Limits to growth from 1972. I wonder why you didn’t include that in this video, there is still a chance to include it in the third part of your series. By the way, I surely hope that will finally answer the question, as you promised to answer it in the second video. But i am very keen of your style of videos, can you make a longer series out of this, just keeping us up-to-date on this topic? I don’t like reading so many articles anymore, and it seems you enjoy making these videos. Also, have you read the book 2052 from 2012?

The biggest challenge is to face it, but not to drown in fear and anxiety at the same time and try to live in the now a bit.

This is really clear. A great summary, thank you. Most folks I know are averse to seeing things this way, as the emotional suffering of accepting this future is too overwhelming for them. I have never been able to look away from this issue. As a child of the 80's, the Kyoto Protocol was the great hope of my late teens....and nothing but empty promises since then. Have decided not to have children, largely because the impacts on human well-being feel so imminent. Such a devastating reality. If there is any hope at all, it's only that perhaps the awakened masses (snapped out of complacency by the coming droughts, fires, sea rise etc) might turn on the industries that have led us here (and not only on eachother). PhD in Yoga, Melbourne Greenie.

So glad I am childfree.

As a 40 year old, I thought that what's happening now would be happening when I approach retirement age, but it's already started during the past 5 years. On the other hand: it's interesting to be alive at a historically interesting time, the collapse of a civilisation, and have it suddenly dawn on me why exactly the same thing happened with the Romans etc, and the same kind of resignation ordinary people must have felt, knowing their leaders would do nothing. And why civilisations just die in a few decades.

I was evacuated from my home for the last week. My home was ok. 50 families had their homes burn down and are now homeless. The mountains I live in catches the rain that feeds the farmlands that grow most of America’s fruits, nuts and veggies. And Russia’s genocide in the Ukraine is disrupting grains, cooking oils and gas supplies throughout the world. There are 8 billion people in the world, and production and supply lines are stretched to the breaking point. The famines will start soon.

Fantastic video, excellent channel!

Well my friend I think you are being quite optimistic myself. There are many who think we will survive just fine without any major changes or pain. Personally I think they are delusional but that is just me I think sometimes.

Ah here it is! Thank you Count

Views still rising and 700 plus comments /conversations started. I am proud of you and your efforts and hope you are healthy and happy today Count.

Scientists have actually used the data from the London marketplace to find that crop fields actually lose 2% of yield each year because meticulous records were kept for hundreds of years about which grain came from which farm or which field. 2% compounded cuts the yield by half in just 35 years, and after 70 years that field has gone fallow. Today fertilizers and farm machinery allows for farming at scale that would be otherwise be impossible. There's also only 4.62Billion acres of farmland worldwide and falling so we can never exceed 9Billion people.

Temperature increase won’t be linear, it will be exponential as we hit tipping points.

I don't sleep at night. I have completely changed my lifestyle but, not nearly enough. In fact I have forsaken a 25 year career driving a lorry and am now sleeping on the floor attempting to make beautiful things on youtube. Well, attempting anyway. Still don't sleep; the forests death rattles keep me awake.

This man is out standing is his field!

That irritating moment all over the globe, when business as usual won't be able any longer... . When even it doesn't make sense that your second car is an electric one, too.

if you compare Paris from the 1800s to 2020 : at that time all food was produced at 2 days walk distance from the user. Today if power is cut, there are only 2 days of food, if main market closes there is less than a week stock in stores. If you cut BOTH power and trucks : people cut each other throat by the end of the 5th day. Then you will say that Africa is much more civilised, at least they have machettes to do cleaner cuts. My view is that all is going down since 1970, at least then there was still some local agriculture still running and all soil was not yet killed by chemicals. And we had bare breasts on TV. And washing machines were able to work for 20 years (now 3).

Scientific Reticence really drives me mad...You're correct about the positivism from governments and scientists, if they told us the truth we'd stop paying tax. Pace of habitat change will annihilate insects' ability to evolve too.

Seeing this 2 years after you made this, your prediction for temperature rise seems right on target.

Dont worry, guys...natures response is relatively meriful. It is better than the way humans could reduce demand and population. The main issue was that when we found oil we did not recognise its potential and install hard limits to family size since day 1. Seems like we forgot what our microbiology class taught us

Thanks for posting this video. I've known about this for quite some time now. I've tried to discuss it with others but they just don't accept the possibility of civilization collapse within our lifetime. So, I just do what I can to learn how to grow food and water management. Each of us will have to turn to our local communities to support one another. If the entire ecological system collapses then we are screwed. The Earth will have its great reset shrugging off the dumb monkeys that were too stupid to harmonize with nature.

Need it to be a blockbuster video to get anyone's attention. I live in Texas and all our grass is dead. If we stopped our waste things could slow this course.. Take cut flower industry. Right now we are cutting down swaths of rainforest to grow flowers for the benefit of Americans. If we stopped for 5 years and replaced it with industrial hemp we would suck more of the carbon out of the atmosphere besides all of the other benefits. We can do things but the US will not sacrifice anything until it is too late.

Have you considered population growth? The UN recently celebrated our reaching eight billion, then in the next breath tell us than two and a half billion are in dire poverty...??!!

I cannot help but ponder how India can justify that they play no part in the global breakdown of stable climatic conditions. If they don't check their population numbers, won't they make it impossible to feed and water themselves sufficiently? They're putting a strain on resources at the same time as western countries are mucking up the climate... Are we all not in the same soup, or are they going to realize their own contributions and work to change their future conditions rather than hold out for reparations... I'm not trying to be insensitive, but were it not for the immediacy of climatic growing conditions fluctuating, wouldn't they be enduring shortages/scarcity of resources going forward anyhow, if they cannot support their numbers as a sovereign power?? I mean to say, they have a pretty big straw in the glass too, by virtue of how they are increasing their population as if nothing can be wrong with that .. Please point out how I'm wrong on this... Be safe, keep on preparing for changes...!

Thanks! Very logic and reasonable scenario. Hard to predict exactly, yes. But not pessimistic, rather realistic and balanced.

it might be too late now but almost all problems could be solved by making it financially worthwhile for people to SHARE the jobs we can agree we NEED people to do and work much less...no more working and doing anything FOR money but sharing the work we NEED ...no more an infinite growth system on a finite planet. At least 70% of people do jobs we could live without....only about 30% do the jobs we can't live without. It wont 'cost' anymore MONEY to have them all sharing the jobs we NEED and working less but it would save the planet a fortune in resources.

London had forty degrees celsius this week. She said "in two decades." It's been two weeks.

Thank you for your presentations. Here in the US it’s zombieland of denial and diversion. Reminds me of the years leading up to the Fall of the Eastern Roman empire or the last days of Pompeii. Ive gone whole food plant based to at least withdraw all my spending from the factory farming industry and meat consumption thats driving so much of the destruction. I want to find out how you grow food in an unstable environment with limited water (hydroponics?). People continue on here as if nothing has changed-still building in places that will be flooded in a few short years and saying “not in my lifetime.” No one is openly talking about how so much of our limited water resources are going to be contaminated by the mobilization of landfills, old mines (mercury, uranium, plutonium, etc), nuclear waste dumps leaking into rivers and groundwater, forever chemicals, and so forth. The big picture is grim-what I can piece together of it. Thank you for displaying screenshots of your sources. I want to find a way where I can assist at least a handful of young people to survive the collapse.

Zero baseline is 1750, iceage minimum, when the steam engine was discovered The average global temperature has risen 1.5c above iceage minimum

It’s the domino effect….. It’s not being pessimistic it’s being realistic which people are not akin to…..

"I'm being too pessisistic", they told you....Yeah I broke my leg the other week and the bone was sticking right through,I shrugged and thought, "Just a fleshwound". I wish I had been pessimistic because it turned gangrenous and I had to have it amputated.....but then I was on the railway track the other day and the train was coming, I just shrugged and stayed on the track. I wish I had been pessimistic and jumped off the track because the train ran over me and killed me.

I am not gonna lie, i find your accent and voice very soothing. And, keep up the great work!

Heat moves to cooler areas. Think about how you heat your house. The area close to the ceiling gets hotter first. This is what is happening right now globally. The heat is melting the polar regions. Notice where the heat waves are, they are in the middle latitudes. The jet stream has collapsed. I live in the tropics. Here in Central America the temperature is basically unchanged at an average of 78 degrees year round. In the tropics where weather is generated by the trade winds we are going to last a bit longer. As the temperature difference decreases we will eventually get hotter. I find it rather unreal to create a narrative where the black and brown people of the world die first. Look carefully - the indigenous people who have a low tech society will be less impacted. In a collapse, the last place you would want to be is in a large city in the developed world in the mid latitudes. Your presentation is very good. Since I was young I never thought the world would last past 2040. Sad to say, it looks like I was right.

at 2:42, that aged like fine wine hahaha, UK is already gonna reach temperatures upwards of 42C, it's going to be crazy

"The more you overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." Montgomery Scott

And just over a year later here in 2024 and we've hit +1.48C already. This timeline is generous; things are happening twice as fast. Good ol' acceleration.

It wouldn't matter what we did now. 8 years from now? It will matter less. Good luck, be well, your video is nicely done.

And yet there are still people who are spewing fossil fuel industry generated doubt.

I've lived in the Southern US and am (happily) back in the north part of the country. My current home is much better insulated than any home I had in the South ever was. I have well-to-do friends in Texas (who you wouldn't think live in shacks) whose air conditioning can't keep up. One imaged his living room with an infrared camera and discovered that the wall insulation stopped 20 cm short of the ceiling. The tops of the walls were at over 30 degrees, with the AC on full blast. My house in the north is designed to withstand long freezing winter nights. It does pretty well in the heat as well. It does have large windows, but I block them out with insulating boards when it's hot or very cold. I grew up in the foothills of the Alps in France and I would argue that our 400 year old house was superbly suited for temperature extremes, with thick stone walls and window shutters. For some reason, sturdy blinds and shutters are not a thing in the US, despite the extreme weather events that have always plagued that country. Large windows are good to have for utilizing cool nights, where and when they exist. In the Southern US, pre-AC era homes have windows that reach down to the floor, on either side of any room. Open them in the evening, and within hours the floor and the air have cooled to where one can catch some sleep.

This is such an incredible summary, good work, going to spread this to others.

good presentation. all too true i fear. so far our plan is a) not to talk about the looming disaster and b) to pretend it isn't happening. i wonder how that is going to work out?

Thank You!!!!!

The incessant climate mantra: "Just you wait, it's going to get bad, you'll see". Repeat decade after decade in perpetuity.

Over and over we've heard projections of by 2100. In my opinion we'll be lucky to even make it to 2050. We've been on a gradual decline of habitat that is gaining speed. At some point it becomes exponentially fast.....

Unfortunately here they will not do anything it is too late

Because of Methane from the permafrost and global dimming, the temperature will rise faster.

Thanks for putting together this video my friend, I have been thinking about this for years but I am glad you put my thoughts into this video! I think the coming collapse will be worst that we could ever imagine but it is coming if we don't change our ways!

"How do people sleep at night knowing this will happen?" Usually some kind of medication. Whether it be a bed of money or earnest prayer, those with the ability to cope do just that.

United Nations reports are in fact a "little" consevative. It might be worser !

Hey count thanks 😊 man ya remind me of Phil Collins can't wait to see ya third 💚

Thankyou for not dramatizing this for the sake of it, but rather letting the information speak for itself. Your presentation is very clear and feels very open and conversational. Nevertheless, it appears we can expect a 'four horseman of the apocalypse' type future as recorded in the book of Revelation with its 'biblical scale' age ending catastrophes to match. (I think I'll start reading my bible again!)

Thank you for this. However, far from being pessimistic, I think you're being quite optimistic. I believe the last 13 months have been +1.63 degrees. Also, I believe, the accelerating nature of feedback loops will hasten the scenarios that you discuss here. How fast, who knows, but we're about to find out.

If we stop all carbon output now, we're still heading toward a climate that will be harsh to near impossible for humanity. Factor in the tipping points already crossed and I doubt humanity is much of a factor by 2100, if there's even anyone left. We'll be desperately trying to keep islands of "nature" alive if we are...not a future I care to think of. Sea level rise is a red herring meant to distract people from the deeper issues as it is a target further down the road. Notice more focus on that and less on 1.5c? That's because we are already practically at 1.5c when you compare to actual pre-industrial (modern) averages. It was also never a perfect value. It was always an estimate AND a red-line (of sorts).

I appreciate your efforts. No one gets things perfect (me particularly!), but I appreciate your efforts. I am absolutely laughing off what ass I have left that you give such a specific date for the collapse. Takes balls, that… guess you’ve got a pair, predicting things not just down to a decade, not just the year, nor the month, nor the day, but the time of day! Wow! That won’t garner for you any accolades, btw… laughing to my inevitable grave…

Prosperity ripens the principle of decay! Most people don't want to think about it.

On the money how uncanny the weather presenter stated that the UK could reach a temperature of 40 degrees celsius within 20 years it reached 40.3 last week.The collapse is happening now.

Civil Disorder. That's the keyword. It's not seas slowly rising, melt of ice caps or Amazon breaking down, not even multi-year drought, fires or harvest failures, it's how people will be reacting to those created mishaps, that's going to cause the largest disaster - world economy going to pieces, much quicker than anyone's guess, like a row of dominos. This summer, minor constraints following COVID already caused riots on the world's airports. Imagine what large scale food & fuel shortages will do. Apocalyptic might be a minor byword.

This is the stuff the news doesn’t talk about. People just think it’s going to get hot. They don’t realize that the failure in crops, and the large swaths of uninhabitable areas causing mass migration will cause everything to collapse. They think they’ll go about their lives as normal, and it will just be hot. Some people actually look forward to it and act like they want it. No idea.

I live in Singapore...have been for 15 years...it’s not that hot here. People say it is but really it’s not. I think the lack of significant heat and weather issues here insulates the Singapore community and leaves them more apathetic and ignorant.
