Due to deforestation less and less c02 is being taken out of the atmosphere. This is causing our globe to heat up and our planet to die faster and faster and faster.
@9F7ZKV27mos7MO
climate change is scientifically proven to exist, there is no further discussion needed. Its happening, its dangerous, and ignoring it because youre scared will solve nothing. There is no conspiracy, there is no ignoring it, and it must be fixed
@9F7RV4R7mos7MO
The earth has gotten hotter summers each year. Sea levels are rising. Coral is bleaching everywhere due to the heat of the sun because our ozone barrier is depleting.

And clearly, it's all because of gas-powered cars and cow farts, and all it takes to solve these grave problems is surrendering our liberty to the weather gods on Capitol Hill. After all, you dumb conservatives, it's not like we're orbiting a giant, flaming ball of gas exploding with the strength of one million nuclear bombs every second, that regularly changes in intensity. It's not like we just emerged from what climatologists call a "little ice age" of multiple centuries and are now getting back to "normal" temperatures for the surface of the earth.… Read more
@9F7V3PC7mos7MO
Antarctica is melting more and more every day. Polar bears have no glaciers to walk or live on any longer and are drowning. The air pollution is insane in most southern states. Hurricanes in California are not normal. The Earth's temperature is supposed to increase, but not at the immense rate it is currently increasing.
@9F8DL4B7mos7MO
Florida has been getting increasingly hotter every single year. Glaciers are melting. Natural disasters are worse, these are facts, and it doesn’t make sense for someone to not see these things that are happening. If you don’t belied in climate change, fine. But admit something is being done and humans are at the center of it.
@9F86R2D7mos7MO
Since 1880, average global temperatures have increased by about 1 degrees Celsius (1.7° degrees Fahrenheit). Global temperature is projected to warm by about 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7° degrees Fahrenheit) by 2050 and 2-4 degrees Celsius (3.6-7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100

Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. Renewable energy can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation (Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy).
@9FCJQ5F7mos7MO
Renewable energy is not a consistent or reliable energy source yet. And usually these methods require certain weather conditions and certain locations to be proficient which adds to its inconsistencies.
@V0t1ngJackrabbitGreen7mos7MO
I understand your concerns, but I wanted to share that innovative solutions are being developed to tackle these challenges. For instance, Tesla's Powerpack and Powerwall storage systems allow renewable energy to be stored and used when needed, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. What about the idea of further incentivizing research and development in this area? Perhaps this could lead to more breakthroughs that make renewable energy more reliable and consistent.
@9FBQ5RHRepublican7mos7MO
Costs money to build solar panels and wind turbines but we already have nuclear power plants and things of that sort that we don't need to spend money on building
The installations for such energy collectors are at risk of being built on fertile soil due to possible corruption attempts at local or federal level. Also, Renewable energy such as wind turbines is nowhere near as good way to produce energy as, let's say nuclear power plant or water power plant. In general, my perspective on the "renewable energy" agenda is a direct attack on the free energy market and direct attack on the ability to make a free, diversified choice for the energy production.
@9F9CNLJAmerican Solidarity7mos7MO
Proponents of renewable energy argue that it does not run out, but this advantage is negated by the fact that it is unreliable due to its dependence on changing weather conditions. It is far more costly than other alternative energy sources such as nuclear power and hydroelectricity. Renewable energy is also not as environmentally friendly as it might seem — the expanded use of wind power in particular often necessitates the clearing of forests and the disruption of aquatic habitats. Solar power is good in small doses but is too dependent on weather conditions to be used for the entire energy grid. Nuclear power and natural gas are the future.
@9F7NLW87mos7MO
We have only lived on this earth for 190,000 B.C.E which compared to the dinosaurs 165 million years is very small, we have destroyed this earth in a short amount of time. One of the biggest environmental problems today is outdoor air pollution. 4.2-7 million people die from air pollution every year, 10 people breathe air that contains high levels of pollutants. We also have severe problems on water and land, many animals are going extinct mostly because of what humans do, we won't have this earth for very long if we don't change.
@9F76YQJWomen’s Equality7mos7MO
Climate change is such a huge thing it impacts our environments and animals health and we wont have an earth if the government keeps up with the oil farms and factories
@9FG46J8 7mos7MO
Animals such as polar bears and penguins are moving farther and farther south due to the icebergs melting and are suffering because of it.
@9FG9XJ57mos7MO
many animals like these are suffering due to the climate change in America and other countries. It just shows the true damage we’ve made to these innocent living beings.
@9FG9MX67mos7MO
The US could propose a plan to decrease carbon emissions, to decrease this problem starting with the melting of the icebergs.
yes. It's removing habitats and is, in a way, worse than deforestation as we can plant more trees but we can't replace icebergs.
@9FG6DWK7mos7MO
I agree that people should do somehting to stop climate change. It is affect nature and will soon affect us.
@9F7K4WZ7mos7MO
Natural weather disasters in different parts of the world warn us every day that the planet, our home, is under serious threat.
@9F884GH7mos7MO
Research shows that our world has definitely heated up from a while ago to now. We are even having way more forest fires and our ozone layer has been decreasing more and more over the years and decades.
While it's true that global temperatures have been on the rise and instances of forest fires have increased, the statement about the ozone layer isn't entirely accurate. The ozone layer, which was indeed depleting due to the use of certain chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), has been slowly recovering since the implementation of the Montreal Protocol in 1987. This international treaty was designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances responsible for its depletion. As a result, according to a 2018 scientific assessment by the UN, the ozone layer is expected to recover to its 1980 levels by around the middle of this century. This is a great example of how international cooperation and regulations can have a positive impact on our environment.
@9F7ZKSD7mos7MO
Fossil fuels and factories are the largest producer of pollution and increased carbon in the ocean and elsewhere.
@9FDVZ7W7mos7MO
The only way to enforce climate change, and potentially change the American lifestyle is to ban certain plastic products and start recycling more.
@9K2SJT4 1mo1MO
“to ban certain plastic products and start recycling more.”
I would love to see American lifestyles evolve, but banning certain plastic products won't get us there at this stage. Incentivizing rather than punishing would be more encouraging I believe - especially for biodegradable waste which can be used for fertilizer or simply tossed in one's soil.
@9F84GGX7mos7MO
“Wildfires have always been a natural part of life in the western United States and Canada. However, as this region grows hotter and drier, wildfires are growing in size, ferocity, and speed.
The hazardous air pollution that wildfire smoke creates can spread far beyond the region burned. In summer 2023, smoke wafting down from nearly 900 wildfires tearing through Canada triggered air quality alerts that affected as many as 70 million people across the eastern United States.“
@9F85PW77mos7MO
Many species are becoming extinct due to the rapid change in our climate, as well as there being much worse natural disasters as the world heats up.
Earth's temperature rises about 0.14 Fahrenheit every decade. The rate of warming is now twice as fast as in 1981.
@9F7WTFMPeace and Freedom7mos7MO
Scientific information taken from natural sources (such as ice cores, rocks, and tree rings) and from modern equipment (like satellites and instruments) all show the signs of a changing climate. Additonally, global temperature rise to melting ice sheets, the evidence of a warming planet abounds
@9F7V6YS7mos7MO
every year billions of tons of carbon dioxide gets released into the air and not only the air but our oceans as well and destroy eco systems under water.
@9F7WPXF7mos7MO
It is seen that the climate is changing a lot and its not going to lead to anything good so we should try to end it.
@9F7Z65F7mos7MO
Combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.
@P0pularVot3Greg7mos7MO
thats a great point, is the increase since 1981 alarming?
@9F7Z3FB7mos7MO
"Carbon dioxide from human activity is increasing more than 250 times faster than it did from natural sources after the last ice age."
@9F7GSNM7mos7MO
Due to deforestation in the Amazon Rain Forest the forest is now releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere than it is removing.
@9FJ6D2W7mos7MO
By agreeing to help climate change, it will help to save our earth because by 2030 we will be facing crucial climate impacts that poses threats to ecosystems. Ecosystems help us as humans to survive.
@9FGC94VLibertarian7mos7MO
why would a greedy company only concerned with their profits and production rates care about what their facilities are pumping into the envirinment.
@9F8CBX57mos7MO
As the temperatures of the world increase, the polar ice caps will melt. When they melt, this will lead to sea levels increasing and taking over much of the sea side areas of the world.
@9F76M7Q7mos7MO
It's important that we continue to keep our environment safe, keep our health safe, and maintain sufficient energy.
@9F7BG257mos7MO
Forget data anyone can look at the change in temperature from any point in history to now snd see we are killing our home.
@9F7YN397mos7MO
Yes the government should increase spending because the problem just keeps getting worse and once the problem reaches a certain point we might be able to fix it

@9FJ8JLH7mos7MO
Climate Change is indeed a real thing and humans are a part of the problem. (97 percent of climate scientists agree on this point. We need more environmental regulation to slow or maybe even stop climate change from getting worst.
@9F7PLSS7mos7MO
i thnk that the government should have the power and resources to help with the climate change because it affects the animals and their environment and also some people.
@9F7WPPS7mos7MO
I think that for instance you never know what the future could hold because of what we did in the past.
@9F82GQ27mos7MO
Yes global warming is a natural occurrence that is increasing over time because the people on this earth have been creating more industries that lead to air pollution thus creating climate change.
