  1. When predicting what global temperature will be in 75 years it is impossible to say for sure because we can't predict what efforts will be made between now and then to slow warming. That being said it is a purely subjective statement to say whether 2.5 C is pessimistic or realistic. If the status quo continues as it is then we will most likely blow right past 2.5 C and past 3 C.

  2. Wow! What a comeback. You know that's exactly what people say that can't face the truth. That's what trump said after he was convicted of 34 counts of bank fraud and paying off a porn star in order to get elected!

  3. You brought it up so let's set your evidence that supports that claim otherwise we know you are either seriously misinformed or spreading conspiracy theory BS!!

  4. That's a new conspiracy theory if nothing else! And I'm already convinced it's nothing else!

  6. Is that supposed to be a response to the video or are you just hyperventilating?!

  7. @sumosprojects. You obviously care because you clicked on the video and was even vain enough to comment on it.

  8. Of course nobody knows, but it's important for scientists to try and predict what we can expect in the future.

  9. On the contrary, it is never up late to act because doing otherwise is suicidal and would lead to even worse behavior around the world. If people felt that there was no hope of slowing this climate crisis then all of the worst human faults would come out in spades!! Murder, rape, war etc would all expand dramatically!! The world is difficult enough without what would result from giving up!!

  10. Obviously predictions from both would be more ideal and then some way to interface the two!?

  11. Congratulations!! You have won the flippant comment for this video! Your prize is nothing!

  12. @Darksoul. That's a false statement about the context of an increase of 2.5 C. The 2.5 C increase is above what the average was at the turn of the 20th century 124 years ago. We are up over 1.5 C for the last 11 months. From that 1.5 C baseline it is just 1.0 C to 2.5 C by 2100 which seems absurdly optimistic. So at this point reaching 3.0 C at least seems like the bare minimum. Nothing about the future is set in stone especially that far from the present.

  13.  @DarkSoulSama  That is true. Thanks for making the point.

  14. If you want more details you'll need to go and find a video a lot longer than 8:12!!

  15. Even more relevant is right now to 2030!!!

  16. I guess we should expect a comment like that from someone called clownworld!? 😂😅

  17. But at what cost?? In the US the only nuclear power plants under construction are the 2 Vogtle plants in Georgia. Originally planned to be operating in 2016 at a cost of 14 billion $$ are not yet complete and at least 17 billion $$ over budget!!! Who ever said nuclear power is cheap efficient energy?? No new plants are planned. Thorium reactors are on the back burner for several reasons. The company behind the small modular nukes backed out of production.

  18. For the past 11 months we are past 1.5. C, but that isn't how climate works. Global temperature change is averaged over 10 years to get a more accurate measurement. Having said that we could hit a tipping point, if we haven't already, in which we suddenly see plus 1.5 C every year. We haven't been here before so who can say if we have hit that tipping point for sure?
