What could our future world look like if we conÂtinÂue to do nothÂing about cliÂmate change? That’s the quesÂtion posed by a new TED ED video, writÂten by ShanÂnon Odell and directÂed by Sofia Pashaei. We are already seeÂing the effects of cliÂmate change. If you’re payÂing even a litÂtle attenÂtion, you’re feelÂing the hotÂter sumÂmers (which is reflectÂed in the data). You’re noticÂing the increasÂing numÂber of droughts. You’re seeÂing the growÂing numÂber of forÂest fires, etc. So, “what will our world look like in the next 30 to 80 years, if we conÂtinÂue on the curÂrent path?” With the video above, get a glimpse of the posÂsiÂble world to come.

Did Al Gore and the ObaÂmas sell their waterÂfront manÂsions yet? I didÂn’t think so. Hell, I’m still waitÂing for the next “ComÂing ice age” that Time magÂaÂzine preÂdictÂed in 1975. GotÂta love fear monÂgerÂing!
Do some research those covÂers are altered.
The only thing that will hapÂpen is the world will conÂtinÂue to evolve by nature as it always has and the peoÂple who push cliÂmate change as a major issue will not make as much monÂey off of their scare tacÂtics and scams. You peoÂple are shills and idiots.
BareÂly enough time for major changes,
but I feel enough conÂfiÂdence in those
folks who push forÂward for all of us -
includÂing the ignoÂrant.
ImagÂine being dumb, so obserÂvaÂtions of what othÂer peoÂple are doing in response to nature is more effecÂtive than your own obserÂvaÂtions of nature.
There’s plenÂty of eviÂdence that change is hapÂpenÂing at a conÂcernÂing rate if you’re willÂing to look for it. That you area may not be effectÂed is probÂaÂbly all that matÂters to you, though.
The eviÂdence supÂportÂing globÂal warmÂing is overÂwhelmÂing, with sciÂenÂtifÂic conÂsenÂsus reachÂing nearÂly 100%. You can bury your head in the sand only too long, and doing so only hurts everyÂone else on the planÂet.
When the famines start, I hope you’re the first to starve.
Why lurk here to spread hate and insults? If you choose to denÂiÂgrate and disÂbeÂlieve cliÂmate change, why are you here? Very curiÂous. AnyÂway, the video IMHO is far too optiÂmistic and fails to take into account accelÂerÂaÂtion, varÂiÂous trigÂger points that will accuÂmuÂlate, and sysÂtem colÂlapse, parÂticÂuÂlarÂly food proÂducÂtion and transÂportaÂtion. We’re going to see hellÂish effects in the next 5–10 years or soonÂer, and posÂsiÂbly the loss of bilÂlions of lives. The video tries vainÂly to offer “hope” that it’s not too late, but changes are baked in. We could cease all fosÂsil fuel use right now and it wouldn’t change the traÂjecÂtoÂry. The Earth was wonÂdrous, but in our hubris and obsesÂsion with domÂiÂnaÂtion we soiled our own home. She will surÂvive in some form. We won’t. HighÂly recÂomÂmend The Busy Worker’s Guide to the ApocÂaÂlypse for a bruÂtal yet eviÂdence-based sumÂmaÂry of the facts.
Why? What makes you wish death on a stranger with a difÂferÂent opinÂion? Is this realÂly who you are? Is this your highÂest self? Do you treat peoÂple this way irl? I’ve spoutÂed off nasty things in comÂments before. Then gone back to delete them when I realÂized that my hosÂtilÂiÂty is part of the probÂlem and does nothÂing to assuage my anger and fear. ResponsÂes like that just leak more darkÂness and hate into the world, I figÂure. I hope you’ll see this too.
