Climate Change: Story of Our Time | Between Us

From melting glaciers to rising sea levels and sinking homes, Al Jazeera’s Environment Correspondent Nick Clark takes us through his experience covering the climate crisis. Despite the challenges ahead, he explains why there are reasons to be hopeful in our latest Between Us episode.

As the world slowly emerges from the pandemic and the US rejoins the Paris Agreement, Clark says the road to a more sustainable future is still possible. “It’s almost a perfect storm of opportunity to beat climate change.”

This video would have been lovely 40 years ago. But it's a bit late for making cute videos. There needs to be real action.

Please use a more descriptive word such as climate emergency, anything but passivity

[gamingtonight]

Everything need to become local. But I don't think global corporations will allow that. So goodbye humanity.

[samusande]

We need massive action at highest speed possible... Yet we will miss Paris Target

Please show this in every language you have

This is real and we need to change and we need careful about our nature and keep safe our future from now.

Great and we get it, but the politicians don’t

Since bitcoin could get to 60k so quickly then 150k ending of this year is very possible....

We do have to come together to make this work. Looking for renewable and clean energy.

" With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought." (Qur'an 26:11)

There had always been climate change throughout aeons this is God's way, , , , of renewing in cleansing... And man wants to put his hands in God's Time and seasons To change..

If excess CO2 from human activity is causing global warming, how did an ice sheet 3 1/2 miles thick on top of North America melt before the Industrial Revolution ?

Folks, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins.
He was buried and resurrected on the third day.
Believe on Him to be saved.

The human population increases by around 81 million people per year... That means every 4 years the population of the US is added to the human footprint.... Over 220, 000 additional humans per day, every day, for decades... So, when the Paris agreement plans to transition the Western world over the next thirty years.... And during that time, over 7 additional US populations will need power/shelter/food worldwide?... I hope you can get some perspective as to why current technologies can't possibly save tiny We need to invent new technologies.... We also need to acknowledge overpopulation as a fundamental problem.

An american said that if we don't act, the world will be gone by 2012.

Weather manipulation isn't climate change. Direct energy weapons used to create forest fires aren't "wildfires" and chemtails and purposely melting the arctic ice sheet in order to mine for minerals and diging for oil does matter but it's the narrative being pushed I disagree with. Over fishing and hunting is an issue. But it's false in the way it's being told.

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world." — Former Canadian Minister of the Environment, Christine Stewart

"The challenge I think we have is for some reason climate change has become a religion -- a politically induced religion instead of science fact that now we have to embrace and move forward on." — Former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy

"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is that it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all." -- "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?" -- "Because we really think of it as a thing." — Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
