@yancgc5098 He didn't say " Mammals ", he said ANIMALS ... Fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians are ALL animals, but none of them is a mammal ...

... Actually, the Climate Migration is already well under way ... ask the people living near the Southern Border. All you ever HEAR about is the crime rate and the gangs and the poverty, but this issue IS beginning to have an effect too ... and it's gonna get a LOT worse ... ☮

... According to the " Human Climate Niche " map, I live well North of where Humans belong ... But - gimme a few decades and I will approach being a Human Being ... can't hardly wait !

@nedames3328 ... Geothermal is a great idea, it's just easier to do in some areas than others, but I guess if they can generate enough power in enough plants it COULD be shared as electricity ... Iceland has got it made !

... And while you are throwing around the term " Ice Age " you SHOULD explain what that actually means, because a lot of people don't really know ... I do, and I get the point that you, as Climate Video producers are trying to get across - most people that get their info (mostly) from YouTube videos DON'T understand that it is a long-term condition, comprised of colder (glacial) and warmer (inter-glacial) periods ... Maybe explain it in a New video !

@johndolph5158 Kinda like Religion, huh ? ... the Hopiate of the People.

... This makes perfect sense : if you are afraid of big freaky bugs, why not move to some place in the middle east and role around in a nest of Camel Spiders ?🕷Face your fears. If they don't eat you alive, you'll feel much, much better !

... The most important takeaway is one of her FINAL points : " The climate is getting warmer OVERALL " ... which simply means that Global Warming IS happening, despite more extreme winter conditions. In fact, that IS a predictable part of a climatic change.

@jjoohhhnn ... It's because the atmosphere is unstable and has a big effect on both ocean currents AND airflow ... and as you stated, it makes the air masses circling the poles drop into lower latitudes due to air pressure instability ...

@Mrbfgray " The greatest threat to reefs is the rise in oceanic carbon dioxide levels. When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, the water becomes more acidic and the ocean’s pH (a measure of how acidic or basic the ocean is) drops. Even though the ocean is immense, enough carbon dioxide can have a major impact. In the past 200 years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic—faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last 50 million years. Calcium carbonate, the building block of a coral's skeleton, forms only if the water pH sits in a specific range. The more acidic seawater makes it more difficult for corals to build their calcium carbonate skeletons. And if acidification gets severe enough, it could even break apart the existing skeletons that already provide the structure for reefs. Scientists predict that by 2085 ocean conditions will be acidic enough for corals around the globe to begin to dissolve. For one reef in Hawaii this is already a reality. " ...

... The wealthier parts of the World may " Survive " 3 Degrees of warming (By Mean Global Average Increase), but how will the poor manage ? ... Probably not very well, and the rest of us SHOULD give a damn ... ☮ ... It WILL come back to US in time ...

@gokulkrishna4011 ... The poor in South and Central America - who already have nothing ? ... The poor in Africa and India who already have nothing ? Sorry, Bud - but I call BS on THAT idea !

@gokulkrishna4011 OK

@volkerengels5298 Doubtless, you are young, yes ? ... Still, Boy - no need to be a snot !

... Actually, most CLIMATOLOGISTS - (as opposed to whatever " Scientists " is supposed to mean) - haven't said much about winter and snow per se ... But they DID point out that the Weather, in general, would be getting more severe. James Hansen tried to bring this fact to the fore as far back as 1988, in a series of Senate Hearings, and saw his own career come under real attack by Conservative politicians - most notably, by Senator James Inhofe (R) of Oklahoma (1994 to 2023) ... Oklahoma, where the Wind comes rushin' down the Plain, as the song goes ... If you still doubts about the very real phenomena of Climate Warming, how do you explain all of the SEVERE drought conditions worldwide - Fairies ? the Wrath of an Angry God, maybe ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwestern_North_American_megadrought ... ... And yes, it HAS happened before, because - yes - the Climate DOES change all of the time, but WE are contributing huge amounts of CO2 and Methane daily, and have been doing so continuously for the last 200+ years- whether you like it or you don't ... and the last time it got THIS warm, Human Beings didn't exist. https://www.drought.gov/what-is-drought/historical-drought The REAL bottom line is this : get GENUINE information from GENUINE source, such as : https://www.noaa.gov/ ... or ... https://climate.nasa.gov/ ... or ... https://public.wmo.int/en/our-mandate/climate/wmo-statement-state-of-global-climate DO NOT RELY upon guys like Bjorn Lomberg, whose PhD is in Political Science, NOT the study of Climatology or Atmospheric Chemistry ... he may tell you What you WANT to Hear, but NOT what is actually happening to our shared environment.
