The world richest people with the most power can easily adapt to climate change by building or migrating to safer places, leaving the poorest suffer. Unfortunately, thoes with power are our policy makers.

Love from the USA. We are not our politicians

I live in West Java on the mountainous region, when i was a kid the temperature only 18-25°C. Now it can reach about 29-33°C the impact is devastating to the locals and wildlife

World leaders just got together and tossed coins in a fountain wishing for climate change to go away instead of actually using their power to help slow or reverse its effects

It's scary because no matter how much I try to convince my parents they don't believe climate change is real? People need to take action now before it's literally too late!

Bats are kinda cute particularly the babies. I wasn’t aware of all the good that they provide for our environment, until this upload. More humanity needs to be informed of this. All of the Dracula movies have given bats a bad rep.

People tend to only show concern when major events or personal circumstances affect them. As humans, we often prioritize our own interests and fail to extend the same level of care and concern to others. This raises the question: why is it so hard to care for others? Perhaps it's because there's no monetary reward for doing so. However, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to start caring more. Though it may be challenging, it's important to start taking action now. After all, if we don't start now, when will we?

Don't let them blame the common person. Its mostly the big businesses who are at fault!

It’s just like having a fever…1-3 degrees higher will mess your life up.

[chrisluttor]

Why doesn't the BBC do a programme on the coldest winter ever recorded in Antarctica?

[seeingtheforest]

Last I heard, we've *already* warmed by 1.1 degrees.

[Abishek_Muthian]

All these misery for 1 deg Celsius increase in global average temperature, It's expected that the average temperate would surpass 1.5 deg C by 2030.

[markgalbraith]

watching this while experiencing our 5th consecutive day above 40c in Perth Australia...10th day of above 40 in 6weeks...Onslow up north hit 50.7....yes 50....

[tenwaystowearit]

Damn. This makes me feel like sh*t. I really need to do more.

I'm reading comments and wondering if some actually watched the video. Some folks have a hard time understanding that yes, we've had warm periods in the past, but with our dramatically increased reliance on technological advances today, a lot of our activities cause more CO2 to be released, so the effects will continue to snowball and become more frequent until we either figure out a way to maintain or immediately reduce carbon levels. A 100 years ago, there were a lot less cars, air travel was in its infancy, industry was still growing. And all these just to name a few all have one thing in common. CO2. Meanwhile, we haven't even come close to matching those in terms of activities that eliminate carbon.
As much as we like to romanticize space travel, we still only have one earth, one home, and we must keep it livable for all species.

Melting permafrost is the real fear now from a product of this. Watched a video on it recently and it’s wildly alarming and more damaging than what we are putting out. Wouldn’t have happened though if we didn’t create this destruction in the first place

[paulwatson]

Average monthly temp is 0.03 degree above 30 year average. Just or reference.

[mattfavaloro]

Where I live we have a nuclear power plant relativity close and the Niagara Falls power plant it's also very close I have never seen a coal power plant or fossil-fuel-burning power plant I'm sure there's one somewhere in my province just not anywhere around me

[muhdaqil]

Ancient civilisation tech was so advanced that they can create and build things like pyramids, without damaging the world.

[stevegarside]

Since when did the BBC ever deal in "facts"? 🤣🤣🤣
