what annoys me about trying to explain climate change to people is always the "its only 1 or 2 degrees"

[EdwardPlantagenet]

Venus's atmosphere is thick, it captures heat.

It has ultimate greenhouse effect, 450°C.
Melts most of the things.

"cLiMAtE cHAnGe isNt REal" THE UK ISNT MEANT TO BE 30 DEGREES CELSIUS LET ALONE THE 40 DEGREES IT WAS LAST YEAR

My favorite is whenever there is an unusual snowstorm, and people say it disproves global warming. Snowstorms like that used to be common - now they are unusual. Unusual weather is one result - it's not all warmer weather.

(I remember when I threw away my cross-country skis.)

Double it and give it to the next person.

2°-4° will certainly be catastrophic to pretty much every species including us. Deadly positive feedback loop. Too hot summer, too cold winters, more abnormalities in the weather, more storms and what not.

[BoopSnootAndTroubleshoot]

The question isn't "do you believe in climate change?", it's "Do you understand climate change?".

Most likely, they don't

[germanyoutubedeutschland]

Serious question: When the layer around the earth gets thicker and so traps more heat. Would it not block more heat from entering in the first place, too?

[TommyElijahCabelloReal]

I'm not saying I could do better, but something I would've included is to mention methane. Methane is more severe because not only is it more potent in trapping heat, but it also can NOT be filtered by plants

[twilight]

What people don’t realize is that global warming will affect our crops, farming is becoming harder and harder. What do you think will happen when there is a food shortage with rising number of humans? Starvation and war. Probably going to be a mass human die off within the next hundred years.

[Ninth_Penumbra]

I'd further explain that greenhouse gasses from natural sources (volcanos, etc.) were once absorbed by natural sources (algae, grass & trees) in a fairly balanced way, until we screwed it up by chopping down entire forests to make spaces for our agriculture. So, not only are we burning insane quantities of fossil fuels, thus producing humungeous quantities of greenhouse gasses (especially Carbon Dioxide), we're also decimating one of the key natural mechanisms for absorbing & sequestering Carbon.

It's not really about the fact that there's "only 1 or 2 degrees hotter" it's more about the extra energy in the system which is contributing to natural disasters.

[jokerzyo]

Unfortunately people voted to make it impossible to stop this.

[rkool]

double it & give it to the next generation

[mikeduffy]

I think the biggest factor is that Every minute, over three football fields of Amazon rainforest are being lost. we should address the millions of sq miles of forests lost as a main priority .

[climate_change_solutions]

It's really simple. And remember, pretty much everyone is aware of the scientific consensus. Climate change deniers are a tiny minority of people, they just happen to be overrepresented in the media.

[cTrlKiLLr]

My brain hurts reading some of the comments on this short 🥴

[jarskil]

Climate change denialists rushing in comments like: 🤡🤡🤡

[hexxdd]

When i was a kid, we'd have serious snow in the netherlands every winter, we even had this thing called 11 city tour where ice skaters would go on nature ice skating through 11 cities. Now we barely get 1 or 2 snow days a year.
