  1. Yes they come and go in different spots and who knows where they will and up but it will be the speed of the ocean rise might mean nothing could seed and cope with 72 metres in 2000 years. From NASA : At times, the reef tracked rising sea level, growing vertically up to 20 meters (65 feet) per thousand years and migrating laterally at 1.5 meters (5 feet) per year, the researchers found. At other times, however, sea level rose too quickly for the corals to keep up and the reefs were drowned. Rapid sea level drops also caused some die-offs by exposing the reef above the water surface. If we look at 72 metres in two thousand years or one metre in the next 100 and there's no proof they can last long enough move with the high tide level, I'm not sure if moving across an ocean will be possible.

  2. The earth has had many ice ages, this is true, the earth has been this hot before, although no natural reason is the speed this time, once it took seven hundred thousand years and we will do it in two thousand, then 86 percent of all species died.

  3. Controlled opposition, tell people how bad it is because of past emissions, don't cover how the future is going to mean faster and faster sea level rise and that all of what we have known is to be changed forever. These videos aren't designed to create change; to really scare, they are designed to give just enough to show they as a news source, care about the issue.

  4. It's more than those countries subsidising fossil fules, we are subsidising fossil fuels, our lives revolve around it and nothing of my life hasn't been touched by them since I was born. If you have plastic in your life in any form, even if it's the rubber coating on the wires or metal that has to be mined to create the mega offshore windmills. Nothing of what you are saying or how you are saying it dictates change towards less consumption, saying that we have all the solutions etc while we all continue waiting for the oil to be pumped, so the refining can be done to get diesel and all the other products that we use that come from the same barrel of oil or it's waste, waiting for all this oil to be pumped or coal to be burned, while we don't change, just can't happen. We have the technology to give people shelter, food and medical care for free, telling them they can use energy like they do, not so much, would people go towards a society of not being allowed to work if they got those three, for free?

  5.  @Mike-zx1kx  I wasn't asking any question about solar panels etc, I was trying to inform you of the problems. Oil is needed each step of the way and we have to be very careful about confusing the terms energy and electricity as they are not the same, electricity could be 100% green and we would only have solved 20% of the problem. Asphalt, plastics and all oil related products in your life come from the same barrel petrol and diesel do, if you replace diesel but still use the other products then diesel becomes a waste product. Jet fuel comes from the same barrel that the threads that hold together your clothes do. Vote for politicians who want society to work less and for society to have less money would be my suggestion and but who is going to vote for somebody who says we should have less jobs. We could literally stay on coal for electricity, stop working a debt based system and we would reduce 80% of our energy if we stopped using the fuels we do, a tank of diesel has the same amount of energy as around 3 months of my sub tropical summer electrical energy in it, with the air con going 24-7. We mis-use this energy immensely but hydrogen is not going to replace oil and renewables will never replace all the energy we currently use. Edit : A 30 year lag in the difference between action and results means 1.9 or 8.5 will mean very little difference in sea level rise and the question is what to do now for in 30 years the sea will be rising 3-5 times what it is currently and the 30 after that 10-15 times what it is currently, solar, unless it is the only energy we currently used won't stop a metre of sea level rise by end of century, asking renewables to be the hope for the future is asking more than might be possible. Edit 2 : Another way to look at it is with all the solar and wind already installed over the years and decades, as a percentage of total energy, was the same as all new energy demand for just 2021. All the solar and wind is 5% of total energy used currently so a big change if people think it can replace it all and of course, as I have shown because of the different products we receive, physically unable to.

  6.  @Mike-zx1kx  Maybe you missed my second edit, yes we could replace it but if it all comes from the same barrel the plastic of the device you are using comes from then we still have issues. I will put my second edit here : Another way to look at it is with all the solar and wind already installed over the years and decades, as a percentage of total energy, was the same as all new energy demand for just 2021. All the solar and wind is 5% of total energy used currently so a big change if people think it can replace it all and of course, as I have shown because of the different products we receive, physically unable to. Nothing of what you are saying involves dealing with the real problem of what is coming other than saying what it is to be classed as 'act now". I disagree hydrogen is going to raise the wellbeing of the planet and the people and organisms on it, yes it will get ugly fast and imagining that it is already in the pipeline is better than telling people they aren't up to date. Have you stopped using oil and if not why, then you can see how difficult it is for a society, that like you I don't think fully understand the problem. Blaming an industry we are the customers of and calling what they do as illegal while we might be planning a driving holiday and thinking we can replace all the energy we currently don't pay the external costs of, with a cleaner source, without talking about change in society and that solar and wind are going to do it would mean we are verging on madness. Edit : I think more copper than has been mined in the last 500 years in needed just to replace the current number of vehicles and that's not the energy to power them. To replace all that we get in the rest of our lives would mean energy demand going up, when as you say the opposite needs to happen.

  7. The next 38 years is going to have a 4-500% increase in sea level rise over the last 38 years, the 38 years after that could see 10-15 multiples of the last 38 years.

  8. One of the five mass extinctions which was worse than the asteroid one took 700,000 years of volcanism and that was 86 of all species, we are putting in the same amount of energy where it will only take 2000. It's about the speed of the warming, that hasn't occurred since the dinosaur extinction and that was 76% of all species. The last ice age was 15 or so thousand years ago and we are now heading to temps the earth hasn't seen in 3 million years and that wasn't a world conducive to humans or their food, I haven't seen any science class that says any organism is going to be able to adapt 3 million years of learning in 2000 years and the earth currently has sea level rise the next 30 years 3-4 times what it has been the last 30, after that it might be 10 times what we currently are, natural variance doesn't explain this, nevertheless it is happening now and having society realise the change isn't going to be explained away by earth moves around sun.

  9.  @Muddslinger0415  Your suspicion or your guess is not a correction, at 5c it will take 2000 years for all the ice to melt according to calculations I can find the paper of if you wish. 20 years for what to collapse and if everything collapse's in 20 years what does this mean for you and society and if you really believed in it what actions are you taking now? What do you think you are correcting in saying four years and how do you know tipping points haven't already been crossed?

  10.  @wmanad8479  I took it as part of the whole sentence that we "will have done it in a little over 200 weeks", when did the four years start? Doesn't really matter as we are talking global destruction of everything we have known, just curious how you read that and what we are supposed to read from it?

  11. The issue is the planned ignorance that we have in society and relearning what we have forgotten, the first oil well was drilled 147 years ago and now our lives are surrounded by it but how many people know how to live without it. A metre in the next 100 years and getting faster and faster will mean problem solvers have to find a completely new way while living in a world where no-one will be immune from problems. PS : ai is supposed to mean a 4-10 times increase in electricity use per search over a normal search and they are looking at LLM's to be consuming around half of what all data centres in the US currently use, ai on its own is supposed to add a full percent to USAs energy consumption, considering USA is 4 percent of the world but uses 25 percent of the worlds energy, another full percent increase would be like adding another small country to the world. It might have taken a thousand years to learn how to make a bow, to store food, make a blanket, in a hundred or so years and the oceans have swallowed most cities and society has fallen apart, what will people remember from their lives now that they will take with them that will be any good? The problem is we are heading towards mass extinction, are in the midst of it, we basically have all woken on the titanic and you're not allowed to talk to the captain.

  12. When the sea is 2 metres higher, not so much.

  13. Earths timescales and humans time scales are a bit more different, "we" have survived ice ages.
