You’ve seen it in the comment section before: “Climate change is natural. It’s happened before and it will keep happening”. In reality, comments like these are the newest kind of climate change denial. In this video we’re going to learn about all the reasons that Earth’s climate changes, natural and otherwise, and then how we know that modern climate change can’t be blamed on natural forces. Maybe we can finally put this biggest myth about climate change in the trash.

    Enjoy this short video about climate change! I'll heart any comment if you can prove you watched the whole thing 🤓
  • And even if the current warming was completely natural, it would be super stupid to make it worse by continuing to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Or to put it another way, even if we couldn't do anything to make it better, that's certainly no excuse to make it worse.
  • Anyone, everyone in fact, that had decided the science is done has already abandoned science in favor of politics.
  • Turning climate change into a political debate is probably one of the smartest things the oil corporations have ever done. It's really working out for them
  • @mat145395
    I cant find the sources in the description. Can anybody help me?

    Ignorance in itself is not a major problem. It becomes a major problem when combined with arrogance.
  • @StaticR
    honestly love the way you talk about this "the people who discovered how the climate naturally changes over time are climate scientists, the same group of people who discovered the climate change we're currently facing is human caused." is kind of a connection that should be obvious but it really hits different when spoken out loud. kind of a fun realization seeing how the reason the example comment at the start of the video knows about it in the first place are the same people he's trying to use that argument against.
  • co-friendly building practices, integrating energy-efficient designs and materials, contribute substantially to reducing the carbon footprint of construction, heralding a shift toward more sustainable infrastructure.
  • Is Global warming for 2 minutes or all day, Is it for one day or all year, is freezing for day time or just night time.
  • I've not got an issue with is it us or isn't it. I have an issue with us being told we need to be more "Carbon neutral" BUT the politicians don't actually do anything about it, they just take more money and MOVE the carbon footprint to another country to then say that we are doing out bit.
  • Natural processes are working and will always keep working unless the earth stops rotating.
  • Nuclear power isn't safe, Thomas Sowell said compared to what, Not having any lights?
  • As long as money runs the world, it will always be about money.

    It's like throwing something at the ground as hard as you can and then arguing "I didn't smash it, gravity is natural, everything is pulled down" edit: well that analogy as good as it sounds isn't really useful if you don't already know how the whole thing works. So it's not gonna be useful in convincing anyone that disagrees. more accurately it'd be more like the lights were out when it happened, with lots of people hearing it, and the smashed to pieces object laying on the floor with the suspected person suspiciously standing next to it, so based on the circumstances and the broken object all it can be infered that this exact thing happened, all the evidence is there and good enough to put together an accurate pictuer, but technically no one did "see" it happen. It's a good analogy both in terms of equivilance of what's happening and what kinds of information are missing but it's not gonna be useful in convincing anybody. A much more convincing argument would be what joe repeated in this video a bunch: "The field of science that told you about how earth's climate naturally changes over time is the same field of science that says the climate changes we're currently experiencing are absolutely caused by human activity. It's all climate scientists. They didn't just selectively forget about it, the natural shifts are already being accounted for."
  • Climate change is a natural process impacted by human activity. However, the challenge lies in the fact that it's often more socially, politically, and economically advantageous to portray Earth's destruction as solely caused by humans to incentivize financial support for prevention efforts.
  • @conrad8968
    @9:06, how do we know these temperature measurements are accurate, and what is the exact nature of these measurements devices?
  • Proof I watched the whole video: "America Outdoors: Under story" I have a friend who believes climate change and temperature increasing is natural. I was unable to convince him why that's wrong. I just shared this video with him. Hopefully he watches it and changes his mind. Thanks for this great video!
  • It's also worth noting that modern humans were able to develop in the way we did because the climate was stable for a relatively long period of time. We rely on that stable climate to continue our current existence and further development. If we wish to create our perfect home and stick to it, we really need to do what we can to keep a stable climate (and also keep a healthy level of biodiversity). Our activities have a huge impact on the systems we depend on for our existence and it's shocking to me that the oceans have masked that impact for some time. It goes to show how much of a difference we made in barely 250 years time. Shifting baseline syndrome makes it harder to really see what's going on, so education is key.

    or the people who say: it was really cold the other day, so much for global warming…
