Understanding The IPCC’s Climate Change 2021 Report And The Crisis Described in the Sixth Assessment

#IPCC #ClimateChange2021 #AR6 #COP26 #GlobalWarming #MichaelMann

On Monday, August 9th, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released part of a major report on the current state of the climate crisis, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, which is the Sixth Assessment Report of the IPCC. Hundreds of climate scientists were tasked with providing a physical science basis for policymakers to understand the past, present, and future of global warming. In this video, we examine some of the major findings in the report, what it means for our future, and what is left to be done to combat the climate crisis. Featuring excerpts from an interview with Dr. Michael Mann in January 2021.

Honestly, we deserve extinction at this point.
I spoke to my parents about this, they responded, "Just live in the moment."

And once again, Dr. Mann and ipcc gloss over the importance of tipping points. Just one of which would offset any reduction we are theoretically able to make. The loss of albedo and melting permafrost will continue to increase warming, even if we stopped emissions completely. Tipping points are incredibly important, and they are irreversible. Fingers crossed then.

Be warned, the IPCC process is at it's base political, and it veers heavily toward downplaying impacts or placing them in the distant future. The final report is edited by governments and corporations to suit themselves, and past reports have seriously underestimated the real-world trajectory of global heating and the resulting changes in climate. The current assessment will be no different. You can safely take every prediction and double the impacts while cutting the time-to-arrival in half. That sounds cynical, it is not. It is what you need to do now if you intend to understand what they are not willing to tell you. Being that, we have run out of time.

I watched IPCC report on youtube live. Only 10k people watched with me. What am I missing. I expected at least 100k or 1m watching this. I find it weird on youtube that most climate channels have very low number in people who watch this. What am I missing? Or is most of humanity not very interested in this subject? "Yeah they know it getting a bit hotter big deal"

When you state the extent of warming today, you need to say relative to when. The goal posts have been moved several times already. The industrial era began when? 1750?, 1850?, 1900? or 1950. Because all these dates have been used when expressing global temperature rise, often with the phrase 'since the industrial era'.

Yall need to talk about ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees.

We need the document on a website. Hotlinks to and from issues and findings. A nice short summary with links to the various sections would be nice. I know that the IPCC pdf and website have this stuff, but it's cumbersome, slow, and sometimes hard to see with the fancy background. Something simple like this browser page.

For what I gather, someone is saying we were supposed to be going into a new ice age, but perhaps (or surely) human activity is diminishing its effect or reversing it. Someone else is saying we have actually been coming out of a mini ice age of a larger ice age and temperatures geologically were never so low, they are due to increase to more "normal" average levels. Someone else is saying, they do not know with precision what impact the differences in the cycles of the planet's orbit and solar activity have on temperature, but according to the models of these cycles, temperature is bound to increase.
So in conclusion, temperature seems to be bound to increase and they are not very sure how, how much and why.

[gromosawsmiay]

why they still comparing temperature to coldest period in holocene ?

[justa.seeker]

I think the pandemic was a test to see if it could make a difference it didn't. There's a 10 to 20 year lag but we past the point of no return long ago.

Why is everyone using "tipping points" as a justification to do nothing?

[TimMontague]

Thank you. Code Red. This is not a drill.

the IPCC seems more like "the rear view mirror pretending it's the steering wheel "

[EastWindCommunity]

Oh god, stop/tone down the backing track. Change it up, can't listen to 9min of this.

[gregkoliaga]

global warming, resource depletion, unsanitary conditions in parts of the world that are breeding grounds for disease can be easily traced to the major problem, overpopulation. over 90 % of life that has lived on this planet has become extinct. we haven't been here that long. if we don't have some competent leadership we will join the list of those that did not adapt

[johnwysowski]

And all 195 countries unanimously agreed the IPCC report is spot on. It's getting too hot. Sent money.

[warrenpeece]

As of May 2021, there are 64 governments, worldwide, that have carbon pricing policies in operation and three scheduled for implementation. These include both carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes (ETS), and cover about 22 percent of worldwide emissions. According to this report there is no discernible effect on climate from all this revenue being taken in by world governments. Clearly they are simply cashing in on the climate crisis and have no interest, or ability, to "fix" the climate! Why won't the IPCC call them out for this outrageous behavior?

How will the world's leaders react?
More 💋, postering, more softball "goals"...
🌎 🔥 business as usual.
Mann finally shooting a straight 🏹. It's like a doctor diagnosed a stroke days later.

FFS this is unwatchable due to the horrible fad of putting noisy music in front of narration. It is so damn annoying. Gone before I could suffer through even 3 horrible minutes... you really think this does not dilute your message, you are wrong. Get serious.
