They aren't going to do it. Get ready for the wasteland.

To do anything genuinely meaningful would cause a severe disruption to the global money "metabolism". Greed has supplanted wisdom in the 21st Century. Massive governmental decisions would be required for genuinely efficacious actions. Corporations now "own and operate" most governments. The next quarterly report has become more important than humanity itself.

To make a difference we would all have to consume and live like they did 200 years ago. That would take care of the corporations. Since that is unlikely to happen we will be lucky if a few thousand of us will end up living like we did 200,000 years ago.

“Why are our governments not doing anything?” Greed.

Two Years? Two Years to enjoy the rest of your Life, this is Extinction.

Get ready for Mad Max in real life

Climate change not being tackled because people think "who's going to pay the rent? who's going to pay the mortgage?" Once again, landlords are to blame. If the land was set free and the people had their basic rights guaranteed, they would be under a lot less pressure to make a profit so they can survive.

no the answer is corporations and governments not every person.

Nobody talking about emissions from military interventions:- Bombs Military jet planes Tanks Well, I could go on.

No representation whatsoever from the Global South - those on the frontlines of the climate crisis but not the front pages. The people who have contributed the least but have been suffering the most. What about their lived experiences? They have their own voices to speak to the urgency and scale of the problem. Whilst I appreciate the panel, the lack of representation is beyond astounding.

I keep hearing the inevitable refrain that "we must look to our leaders for ...". The sad reality is that it has been the collective actions of our world leaders for decades that have led 8 billion human beings to the precipice of annihilation! Wisdom itself has been supplanted by the narrow greed and thirst for power by a very, very privileged few. The suicidal "hive mentality" of the human species will prove to be the source of our demise.

When are people going to start looking at the impact of military operations on the planet

He was being nice. We are nowhere near being able to reverse what we already set in motion. We can only mitigate and adapt. But anything done to try to reduce damages is welcome.

Greed is the killer of all life

Decades I have wished more people had great concern over the decision to ignore the science - we tried so hard to warn the world - Two years - he says - 1.5 she says I thought 1.3 was too hot to turn around ? No matter No one cares 😢

We're doomed.

They are worried about migration? Then do something about the climate.

A guy goes to the doctor. The doctor gives the guy six months to live. The guy can't pay his bill, so the doctor gives him another six months.

Hint: We have been over a 1.5C Global Temp Anomaly for over a year now, and it is not decreasing it is accelerating.

Pre industrial temperatures goal Posts were changed from 1750 to 1850. Thats how they came up with the 1.5 degrees that we are at instead of. We just past 2 degrees actual. James Hansen's recent " in the pipeline paper" suggests that there's at least another degree of immediate temperature change being blocked by our continued burning of dirty fuels. The faster we shift to renewables. The quicker that extra degree of temperature change hits us. We are definitely in a real bind with that one if he is correct. The Boral Forrest ring in the northern hemisphere caught fire in 2016. After burning for 5 years. Russia sent a research ship to investigate the arctic floor off the Siberian coast (To see if Methane is bubbling up yet enmass). It left the region 9 months later. Then Russia started its offensive on Ukraine 3 months after that. Can't help but wonder if Putin knows something that would make him think. That he has nothing to lose now that a catastrophic climate tipping point has been breached. Welcome to the End Game folks! In 1972 The Rome Report predicted 2040 as the end date of current civilization. Then it claimed we are ahead of schedule due to business as usual. Many don't realize just how close we actually are to this. Perhaps we should all join hands as we go over the edge in just a few precious moments from now. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put bigger tires on my truck. With all this talk of higher sea levels.

A 2 year warning that is only 20 years tooo late.

22:42 Thank you for mentioning Bangladesh. My country is among the top 5 most impacted nations due to climate change, and a quarter to a third of the land could be under water in or before 2050s. All is happening even though we are among the least emitters in the world. A hard pill to swallow.

Another meaningless line in the sand.. our destiny is unalterable at this point. They’re trying to say we only have a couple of years left period….not left to change.

"World is going to overshoot 1,5C..." FFS. We have already crossed that threshold. Over 12 months now, but in few years we are passing long term 1,5C and seeking to go past 2,0C (before 2040). Some days have been past 2C already (that's not climatic temp, yet). 10 months on record braking heat, monthly temperature records are blown to new levels... We are currently heading toward 3-5C warming by 2100. Or more if Hansen SO2 predictions are right... Doubling CO2 can mean 4,8C rise instead IPCC still argues for 3,0C rise... The larger rise is hidden under SO2 generated temporal cloud cover. Keeping fossil burners on keeps SO2 barrier, but the gap grows and so does warming ghg levels if we do so. Earth energy imbalance is rising rapidly. We can measure this imbalance accurately from space (even more accurately than temperature). While Earth takes more enrgy in itself than loses to space, it is clear that planet is warming. (in physics, black body radiation...) We have no time to save 1,5C or even 2,0C. But we have time to limit warming at 3,0C, or what ever our greedy people are letting it be.

where's the discussion about the percentage of farmlands solely being wasted on excess animal agriculture?????

All of us? It’s our responsibility? It’s like 12 companies, and our addiction to their products.

Governments, churches, businesses, households are NOT taking climate change seriously

The moment Ronald Reagan took the solar panels off the white house..I knew it was over...

Why are we not doing what is needed? Simple. As soon as some policy change directly affects our pockets, e.g. with a fuel price increase, we make it clear to our leaders that they should reverse the decision. In the end is up to us citizens, all of us. Either we believe that this is a serious issue and we are ready to change our lifestyles and commit our resources to solving it or it will not be solved.

As James Hansen said in 2023, 1.5C is dead.

We need to stop saying "save the planet" the planet will live on without us, its the species that currently live on the planet that we need to save

Doesn't Planned Obsolescence mean unnecessary manufacturing which has to produce lots of extra CO2? But economists will not talk about PO or the Depreciation of durable consumer goods since Sputnik.

But 1.5 degrees has been passed several months ago. Is this a reupload? What is going on.

The planet will get along quite well. It is our current civilization which can not and should not survive.

We are to selfish a creature to do what's best.

Yeah we aren’t going to stop it.

It’s not going to happen unfortunately, it’s going to be the hard way. Most human population will starve from drought and thirst and states will wage unlimited wars over the scraps those most responsible are to greedy more than happy to sacrifice the rest, seems very unlikely that our political systems will be adequate to respond let alone our politicians. It’s going to be apocalyptic human misery worse and worse the next 70 years probably going to see our population reduced by half or more.

16:58 landfills and agricultural waste management are big issues in addition to pollution from oil, fracking and mining.

Cool the planet?...slow the warming is the best we can do.

It truly breaks my heart that peoples greed will destroy all life on this planet. The wonderful mirical that is our planet burnt to a crisp because of the death grip on there wallets and bank accounts. Its so hard to even attempt processing this situation...

Our current endless pursuit of growth at all costs is responsible for this. Some of us affluential humans need to become "ungreedy". Whats more scary is some people can still live by this, and they control our corporations and money funds.

Oh well, that is sad, exit humanity!

We have gone over 1.5 degrees C. We won’t stop 2 degrees C. Sadly.

This programme does not appreciate the rapidly accelerating nature of the upcoming heating.

The average person has been lied to for so long and been confused by contradictory statements that until they experience some sort of catastrophic event or have someone they know go through something they will continue business as usual. But, as the climate continues to change we are seeing more events that no one has ever seen in their lifetimes. It will be slow but people will begin to believe it once they experience it. The great question will it be too late to stop a mass extinction event??

If it was that urgent, you would expect politicians to ... not fly around in the world but take the train? To encourage nuclear power and modern plant breeding techniques such as CRISPR instead of banning them?

people do not know/cannot realise what is coming. The issue of CC cannot be solved without solving the inequality among persons and nations. Do you think they will do it?

World iz on FIRE STOP DROP & ROLL !🇨🇦

If that was proposed 7 years ago it would have made a difference. Now it's far to late. Politics...

Sounds like they need to change the ways businesses work. Maybe the way they're always trying to do better than the last year might be having an issue. Normal people aren't going to make a difference, but mega corporations and governments militaries should step up and do their part instead of passing the buck to the average person

Didn't the You ess ( the greatest producer of greenhouse gasrs per capita) destroy the pipeline allowing Europe to import Russian natural gas thereby making their own gas and resource monopolization of the Middle East and Africa seem an attractive proposition. Didn't this then cause much of Europe to stop green energy transition and fueling the Isreali conflict? But it's not worked out quite the way that U hess thought it would and the bombs etc are accelerating regional climate catastrophes. It's too bad only Brussels and Ireland are commenting. I fear that depopulation is most western countries' favored solution.

If it was something else besides money & greed we would be seeing actual efforts by our governments. We dont so I call BS. They sure tax us for it with carbon tax.

But for Wars money is find very fast

Prof. John Sweeney: is there a way of translating the dry text of climate-change events into a Hollywood blockbuster (that sticks to the science for a change)?

its gonna be Exciting Dont forget to VOTE,... VOTE like yer life depends on it.

This is by far the best and most insightful inside story episode I have watched. The panel was amazing. Also if EU is now bending over for lobbyists then the world is screwed...

The rapid rise in temperature has led to further warming and drier areas of the land. Massive forest fires broke out in the drylands, turning the land black and ash reaching the glaciers, reducing the Earth's reflectivity. These events were repeated several times, causing fluctuations in the jet stream and increasing the damage. As an energy conservation activist, this story makes sense to me as the reason why global warming is 20 to 30 years earlier than the simulations of 40 years ago. More recently, due to Russia's invasion, Europe has suddenly been importing LNG, and has ordered LNG transport ships from China and South Korea, which are cheap but have no track record, and are spewing methane gas into the North Atlantic. "EVs" have finally been pointed out, but they emit a large amount of CO2 during manufacturing, and even more CO2 is emitted from thermal power generation when they are charged at night when solar power is not available. What citizens can do now is to use their air conditioner power wisely in the summer. During the day, solar power supplies the electricity, so use the air conditioner, and at night, like me, use passive cooling to put up with the heat. This is because even after the sun sets, the outdoor air conditioner units emit a large amount of heat, which prevents the atmosphere from cooling down. I feel sorry for the children if we don't take some serious action soon. Parents need to take responsibility.

Considering we couldn’t collectively work together for a recent pandemic…. There’s NO WAY humanity will collectively agree to meet these targets. Oh AND we’ve already been above the 1.5 level for a year now.

We will have to use active means to counteract the heating. Those active measures could be dangerous in new ways.

Money isn’t going to fix this issue, neither is government. No one wants to change their lifestyle but that is what is required now.

Hang on to your hats people

How far did we get in this broadcast before we seen a commercial? 30 seconds? Money maker! OMG! End of the world for sure.

I don't like the apathy. You're giving up. How many of you vote for change? eat meat? have a high carbon footprint. Their are billions of us 'regular people'. A billion changes today, saves tomorrow.

Fantastic work that the Swiss ladies did. We could all do this. Many thanks for this report.❤

Save the world.. ❌ Save ourselves.. 👍

The sound is too much in the left ear.

I have heard this all my 72 years

23'15: does anyone have scientific evidence that electric vehicles have a positive impact on climate? They only have a mild effect on air quality in cities (still emitting particles from brake systems). How are they made? With what resources? Techno-solutionnism is part of the problem. Individual cars are just not sustainable, and the sooner we understand that, the better.

Refreshingly direct and objective comment, thank you.

8 years the roof over the toilet was leaking but the owner of the upper apartment refused to reveal that it was the tub plumbing because she had to dig and fix the problem oin her floor, instead she requested I dig a who through my roof to find the leak.... This is what we mean when we say that s..t rolls downhill, oh and when she was cornered to fix it she sold the apartment ... This is what we mean when we say Greek politics, ministers do not get held accountable, even though they can be responsible for thousands, millions of deaths, and the EU cannot do anything to change that? When it comes to justice to its peopl the EU cannot do anything about that, why are we in the EU then for the small time dealers...

As far as I can see til now is that this problem could be solved mostly by world population reduction and control. The other ways are nearly impossible to implement and impossible to prove.

I dont have to watch this to know the answer. How about stopping the wars and nuclear testing in the worlds oceans. That is no 1 solution.

Save Our Planet Now!

The sad thing is that if we actually manage to make the changes needed and catastrophic effects are mitigated, large portions of the population will see few ill effects and try to use that as evidence that changes never needed to be implemented in the first place "obviously".

11:15 can the food supply chain of humans survive coral reef/plankton habitat loss? If so, what is a workable diet for everything else humans eat? Does that take us to GMO and processed foods? And how many people?

The Stern Report issued a few years ago was an economist's view on climate change and Deloitte's 2022 Sustainability Report also makes a business case for climate action. It would be great to have the insurance industry state their position on climate change. We all know the evological case for climate action delay, but what's really missing ate the social scientists - what are the socio-cultural, health & social welfare case for climate action (water scarcity, food insecurity, an extended housing crisis as homes are destroyed faster than we can build them, stress on communities who have to move, mental ill-health as we watch our future prosperity unravel, increasing strain on healthcare systems, further stress on social cohesion awa increasing conflict over decreasing resources etc. So far the discussion around climate change has only focussed on extreme weather in Africa so who cares. We need to bring the climate crisis closer to home.

Yup, the Oldsters are ignoring the Youngsters on every major issue they value and they are ignoring International Law with impunity as well. Cheers folks, here's looking in the mirror!

I wish the UN wasn't a joke ..I completely agree but apparently the rest of the world completely ignores them on everything from genocide in Israel to climate.. extremely sad

So where it's cooling do we run our motors.... Just asking a friend

UN should file case against Japan and America in International courts, why are they producing and selling autos and vehicles to general public. Autos and vehicles should be given only to government servants. All others should use public transport. Says JJ from jail...

He has not been to Texas lately, hasn’t he. Texas has offset some electric production with windmills and some solar. But they have not reduced fossil fuel consumption or production, not to mention other issues like methane.

It all started with the discovery of oil and gas. Too bad humans learnt how to dig.

And the band played on…. G20 fiddles while the world burns-literally.

we must adapt I think that Central or northern Europe makes temporary benefits ...In Greenland they plant grain.I think when they make a green deal 70% Poles will want to go out from the EU and most of them don't spot the problem .. I planted my first new citrus tree in my garden.I know it is still too cold but I'm trying...Britain can compete with Poland by making vines

If the Sahara turns green due to climate warming, and ends the hunger in Africa, people might realize that climate warming might not be a bad thing. This needs to be prevented, and, as the rain falling there right now shows, the time is growing short.

the two year its too late deadline

Probably

You think we are the world? It shows how stupid we are. The planet is not at risk. It will continue to exist for millions of years. The world does not need to be saved, it is only the 6th extinction that must be avoided because we would suffer a lot. But for life to return, we must stop destroying it, so our disappearance is the best thing that can happen for life on this planet.

The prices of fossil fuels are used to moderate economys. Renewable energy equals less conflict equals security. Duh

I guess UN IPCC better put a Coal Baron in the Chairmanship of COP30. I mean the Oil Baron defeated the draw down of Fossil Fuel use and encouraged more use of oil past 2050. So maybe an Coal Baron could reverse the use of high pollution Coal.

Pluvicopia can save the environment and civilization. The question is, why will people not even read it? Why will people not even invest in Numerical Modeling of the technology? AI modeling and spreadsheet modeling show that it works. Why is there zero interest in saving civilization? The next book I am writing addresses and resolves these questions.

Because it'll take that long to control all the People's.... mindsets.

2 years Left !!! .... Oh No , !!! ... Where have i heard this before?..😀😃😆😅😂

"SAVE THE WORLD". 😅😅This world doesn't need saving. We need to create a new world. Nobody can save this world!

Sorry, but we can't go back to what climate we had before. All we can do, is try to save as many people that we can, as we adapt to a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much hotter Planet. One "much", for each degree the Earth will warm, as it rises back to its more stable regime (where it sits almost 80% of post-oxygen geological time). Most sincere apologies, for the truth I had to tell you.

They are nuts

14:47 NetZerp means they aren’t making anything better and nothing worse. Just maintaining. That leaves the correction of the mess and small producers/emitters as the scapegoats and citizens responsible for the fix. The government can’t prioritize a plan when half the constituents don’t believe in or profit off climate change technology/products.

Price of milk in supermarket depends on climate change. And if environmental costs are taken in it should be way higher than it is today. (Most products should be costing more.) Climate warming is in many cases the background noise that is there, but not large enough to affect daily life. Until overcharged weather extremes hits you.
