Climate change - Averting catastrophe | DW Documentary

Rich don’t suffer from climate change as much as Poor.

Consumerism can't be stopped in this system. It's like oxygen. It will grow until breaks.

It's wild that you can watch the permafrost in real-time melt so fast

I was planning to sell up and relocate to the Portuguese or Spanish South Coast in a few years. After this summers heatwave I fear for the lack of fresh water that will be available and whether much of that region will be habitable. It’s making me really depressed I have to say.

The idea of a "global community" that we hear about in the media is just fancy talk. The truth is, it's all about countries and companies looking out for their own interests. We couldn't care less about the effects of CO2 and how it might harm people. Making profits is what really matters. Profits is also why solar energy can't compete against the interests of the Aramcos. It is dirt cheap and good for the environment but the problem is it doesn't bring in much profit.

I've been an ice climber for over a decade, and things are definitely changing rapidly.. Dani Arnold is a legendary climber. He was the perfect person to interview! Thanks DW!

I am from Nepal. But I grew up in Sikkim. I grew up playing swimming in the natural spring and small creeks in North Sikkim, India. But due to the increase in population, cutting trees for wooden timber & wooden plank for building concrete houses, etc, I have seen natural springs and creeks banished from my place in Sikkim. I didn’t know about global warming and I had never been taught in detail about global warming in my school until class ‘lX’. And I was from a poor family, we did not have TV or Channel Disc to watch National Geography, Discovery Channel, or mobile phones to watch Global Warming YouTube videos. Luckily because of Internet and YouTubes Documentaries & Videos about Global Warming & climate change, I came to know how important the issue of Global warming is. After reading some news articles, documentaries, and videos I have realized that the main problem of global warming is due to 4 reasons: 1. Increasing numbers of the population. 2. Increasing number of skyscrapers and buildings. 3. Increasing in number of vehicles. 4. Cutting of trees. Additional: the dirtiest, stupid, and idiotic trend & belief in some parts of the world thinking that ‘if you have more children you are wealthy’

Absolutely amazing photography.

I haven’t finished watching yet, but they better come to New Zealand. Because we have every single one of these problems, happening at once.

Good luck getting people to unite & work together,it sure looks like the opposite these days !!😶

As usual, the video has lived up to the expectations of a DW genre. Extremely informative and stimulating right from the individual level to the Government level.

We can imagine the end of the world before we can imagine the end of capitalism—Mark Fisher

Here in Bangladesh, The Monsoon flooding, Cyclone Just going Crazy... In Southern part of Bangladesh, People starting Agriculture in floating agriculture bed.😢

I like how the biggest concern for everyone is losing their job.

The English voice-over on non-english speakers is one of the feature why I like DW.

Took decades to get here and good luck with turning back time.

Looks like we are done ✅ Wish good luck 👍 to all from Buffalo New York USA 🇺🇸

Nature's gifts must be preserved well for our own long-term benefit. Nature's gifts must not destroy for short-term benefits 🙏🏼

Tree plantation can help us to perpetuate our climate from being worsted, we should be more aware of planting trees and saplings! Every year there is a certain time comes when we can plant saplings and i think we should teach school students!!

The environment will collapse but some people will look back and think wow, we create so much value for the shareholders at one point.
