NASA scientist explains how Earth can avoid a climate collapse

The waters off Florida's southern tip were so hot Tuesday that you could mistake a dip in the Atlantic for a hot tub. All of these high temperatures -- on the sea and on land -- have concerned scientists about the future of the planet. Allegra Legrande, climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, joined CBS News to explain what's happening to the Earth -- and what needs to be done before it's too late.

Carl Sagan tried for who knows how many decades and did you listen? Nope.

We have the same ending as Don't Look Up

Tipping points happened in the 1990s😮 right now we're in the middle of the sixth Extinction. It's really Time to Say Goodbye😢

[godmaderaz]

We have politicians who think this isn’t real we can’t count on them we have to do our own thing

[magaareinbredhillbillies]

this will be full of the poorly educated.

Every brand new home should be forced to have a certain amount of solar panels, home water filtration systems, power backup generators

I’ve been going to ocean city md for 56 years, same beach has not risen 1 inch, stop with pushing this nonsense we need real information not lies

[danwatson]

She did so well until the very end, where she lies to herself about not crossing tipping points yet and that there’s still time.

[billbonu]

They don't mention the underwater volcano that erupted raising ocean temperatures?

[spooky_zen]

This in a year that reached highest ever average temperature in human history at the fastest ever ACCELERATING rate after 30 years of being told how to avoid this . Being told is clearly not enough . All easy options have been squandered shamelessly .

My understanding is that we’re already guaranteed a ghastly future and that cannot be undone. However, it is never too late, because we can always make it less terrible. Any emissions reduction will always prevent an even more dire and destructive future. Which is why it is insane that luxury and discretionary emissions are not being restricted. Reaching zero emissions will be necessary, but difficult. Just reducing energy production and consumption is easy.

We just put a giant ice cube in the ocean every year

Rhode Island barely has a winter anymore.

Lyndon Johnson signed a clean air act in 1967 !! I guess someone should have taken note !!

So explain why the Great Lakes region is having a normal summer because we haven't seen any difference in temperatures or weather 🤔 than they will try to say the Lake Effect snow we get is Climate change next

NOPE SORRY, THE TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION. IT WILL BE 100 TIMES HARDER TO CHANGE BACK NOW. WE ARE GOING TO EXPERIENCE COUNTRY-CHANGING EVENTS THAT WILL FORCE US INTO SUBMISSION FROM MOTHER NATURE.

[kurtmontgomery]

I thought we already passed the point of no return? Like 30 years ago lol.

Re freeze the arctic with winter time sprays into the air to create ice bergs
