The only reason nobody wants to accept guilt and shifts blame towards others is because they pride themselves in what they've accomplished in spite of the consequences. If we want to make a change for the better, we all have to act as if we're equally responsible.

I really love how this video is not biased in any way and is full of correct facts

I think that we are all responsible for climate change and that blameing a country or continent is just dumb, how about we all just stop climate change THEN if we have to, figure out who is to blame, it's so simple.

All this not to mention "Capitalism". And I see you coming, China IS a capitalist country. Mix of regular and state capitalism, communist only in name.

But those are outliers. So many outliers. This channel is full of spin.

you took the wrong flag for India 4:09 you _____

but is nice in house doing zoom

One thing wrong in what you said repeatedly - CO2 should never become zero in atmosphere. That will cause Ice age in few years. Even greater problem. It should just be back to the 1900 level.

People need to stop farting.

this helped my finish my report

Simple, us

The Solar Cycles for Natural Climate Change and Politicians for politicised Climate Change which does not exist.

I really hope we can work things out

I would like to ask. What USE is it TODAY to ask about historical total values? We want to fix it TODAY not 100 years ago.

Wait what? According to the Danish ministry of energy and such. It was 14.6 billion tons a year. I talked with them as a China scholar on this issue. They told me that China invests a lot of money it to "green energy" and that Denmark did help reduce their CO2 by 64% of the Danish emission of 51 million tons. Thereby reducing it by 34.7 million tons. Or 0.023% They called it a success. -_-

Its so sad earth just wanted to live and give life to the planet and now were killing it

America looks pretty f-ing bad

i loved it till i head the great and powerful all knowing bill gates has his fingers in this...

4:08 Wrong flag for India

Hi! I really wish you'd see this, and if you do, do you mind doing a video of NFT's impact on environment, particularly compared to other things such as ILcycle for example to put things in perspective? Right now NFT is a hot topic and I see a lot of people attacking artists, I feel like their anger and outrage are misdirected, and blaming artists for destroying the environment instead of the humanity as a whole.

Also, boys and girls (sorry: there really are only two genders), don't forget that if your come from a prosperous country, and are skilled and well-educated, you should NOT have children! Western women: kill your babies and pursue your career until your eggs shrivel up. Western men: keep eating soy and doing other stuff to continue lowering your sperm count. Be sure to resent supporting a family (when you could be pursuing your dreams of being a rock/rap/sports star) and abandon what children you have as soon as possible. This will ensure the lowering of their standard of living, which will help them to feel solidarity and equally with the impoverished in Third World countries. Meanwhile, those people living in impoverished countries must have as many children as possible, to provide low wage workers in the global economy. If we all do our part, the globalist agenda will be achieved, and everyone will be happy!

Thanks, Bill Gates! You're such an expert on everything - like pushing vaccines in India, that paralyzed and killed children (until India kicked you out.); or like telling the rest of us we should get our protein from eating insects, while bragging about what a carnivore you are. You're a swell guy. I totally trust you as you soar away on your private jet to whatever mansion you're currently living in. I'm SURE you and Al Gore don't run your A/C below 80° (when you run it at all!) By the way, Al: how's that beachfront house working out?

Does everyone know there used to be a bridge between Asia and North America.until some ice melted? Does everyone know the UK used to be connected to Europe until some ice melted? (The latter reportedly happened very rapidly.) OH NOOOO! Guess those cave men shouldn't have been emitting so much carbon! Too many campfires, obviously.

I simply do not agree with the focus on normal people to reduce emissions when corporations produce the overwhelming majority of emissions

The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter. Every country, every person, needs to take action on climate change.

Were all rats in a frying pan lets turn up the heat and see what happens. everyone believes they will be the rat on top. But why turn up the heat if we live in a world of such abundance. Only ower own selfishness keeps us on this path. empathy Is the only path forward.

Western countries shifted the most polluted manufacturing to developing countries mainly China and then blame them for the pollutions, way to go hypocrites!

You are actually using Iran’s flag instead of India. SMH !

Basically eu and usa asking the rest of the world to clean up there mess. As usual.

is the fact people are burning down the amazon counted in the carbon dioxide emissions?

As long as governments let billionaires and these big corporations get away with this, just so they can make money of them, this will get much worse

No one should care about per capita based on the world system we currently participate in. Each country is responsible for their output regardless of how many humans their country chooses to have. Either way the U.S. , China and EU need to not only lead , but drastically clean up their act.

Ironically, the USA points fingers at China as contributing the most while simultaneously outsourcing all production to China... USA is easily the largest polluter when taking this under consideration

1.5 trillion tons more to go! :>

So who is here from reddit?

No such thing as climate change, not by this definition.

As of today. Higher income people will lead the workd towards eco friendly technologies while the poor will continiue to slash and burn everything in their path. Putting blame only makes us all work againgst eachother reducing eco-progress. The ignorant need to stop with their old ways and listen to the wise even if theyre much younger than us

The reason it appears the U.S pollutes the most is because we actually have data and our companies and governments will not lie about statistics. China has definitely polluted significantly more

What about Britain?

The third question is bias. A country like Canada is vast and will need resources spread out across the land which will necessitate the use of more carbon gases. This doesn't even factor the bone chilling Sub-Zero Winters that Northern countries have which will also require heating and hence carbon fuels. We don't all have Sunshine 300 days a year in good weather.

Methane is way too cute. I want to hug it. Also a mini wind turbine is a bad-ass weapon

Im still wondering what corporations and politicians will promote next to make the gullible , more gullible and spread the agenda? First racism, then climate change , now corona and back to climate change ?

Today? Mehh. It's probably somewhere in the 20 year development plans of countries.

like why are we not ripping the neck veins out of the already barely living and souless bodies of the oil executives yet??? did i miss a meeting??? or am i having a nightmare right now??? oh wait im stuck in one of the sh!tty paralell universes. see, when I was a kid and living in a *JUST AND MORAL* reality we'd beat the piss out of the bad people.

im an american and i live below averagely well compared to the average american but EXTREMELY well compared to literally the entire known universe (lol that includes "just" earth for now of course but its still technically true). am i willing to just give up my many many superflourish luxuries to literally do no good? lol no. i am not. would i give them up them up if i got a reasonable one time monetary stipend (i could pay it back over several years) to build and/or design my own carbon nuetral home with access to organic locally grown food and enough land for privacy? absolutely. it could be done for everyone and it wouldnt even cost all that much especially when considering my, and many other, countries believe sailing massive aircraft carriers, destroyers, and supply ships 24/7/365/infinity to kill a few thousand hillbillies (and terrorising and murdering civilians for oil executives' profits) in the middle east is a worthy billion-dollars-a-second expense. or we could all just slaughter the rich en masse. execute every capitalist and go full socialist. that would solve every problem we have now forever. not saying we'd found a utopia and more problems wouldnt happen, just saying all our current ones would dissapear literally overnight.

Yea, sorry, unfortunately, this told most people that they're not responsible, their Government is. I'm inclined to agree. I don't litter, but I don't sign up for volunteer/free city work either. Fix the World, or die in the Trash, that's on the Government of every Country involved.

i got the solution everybody stop pumping pollution in one year or kicked out of the UN. that way when we start the inevitable ww3 we can all gang up on the stinky countries. renewables are actually far cheaper and easier to maintain but everybody's a lazy lardass so we give each other some...initiative.

Just a reminder that CO2 is a colorless gas and not a black bubbly cloud of carbon deposits.

@1:54 Perfect solution for every matter!

How about we all work together to fix it?

i love you

It is everyone's fault. We should all help

3:09 Cara, eu não estou entendendo, cadê o Brasil? São esses o Países de primeiro mundo? Que doidera, o Brasil é muito maior e mais populoso que a União Europeia, Japão e Canadá e ainda nem na lista está, por quê?

One aspect is forgotten and is very important. Is China really the only responsible for its manufacturing emissions, when most of the products are used by western countries. Shouldn't we put a part of the blame on the consumer? Who's is really responsible : the chinese worker or the western rich person who buy too many useless stuff ?

EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE

lets face it: the reason why this is aproblem is because of USA'S GREEDY FACTORIES.

usa is te bame, notthe people, but rather industries. excuses: UNITED NATIONS: most countries china: 1/7th of the worlds population now and probably in history developing countries: just a poor man trying to make money of selling tacos in the local poor street at 1 dollar each India: same as china USA: not a shit ton of people, masx industry, pure lifestyle (you ain't stupid if you from USA, the industries are the blame)

USA industries trying to look from where polution comes from: were is the ocean?

That's a pretty good video. It has a lot of data, and I agree with most of what's said. It has some dishonest interpretation of the data too though. Achieving "zero carbon" is impossible, and there are and have been for a while, very bad ideas about what to make people do to achieve this. We are making good progress in getting cleaner with emissions. The "hole" in the atmosphere that people were freaking out about in the 80s is all but gone. The earth naturally goes through warmer and colder cycles..we happen to be in a warmer cycle. Looking at 20 years of data to say we are "destroying" the earth is ridiculous and dishonest, it's essentially choosing a small data set to support ones opinion, and ignoring an available, larger data set that shows something different. I am all about clean energy, but it has to be allowed to happen over time. Forcing people to do it (giving governments the power to do this) before the technology, and populations are ready for it will hurt millions of people (by forcing them to do things they cannot afford) and give governments the power and "reason" to do bad things to the human population. It must be done by free markets, and free people, on a timetable that doesn't disregard humanity, the sanctity of human life and the human condition; and doesn't force an agenda and ignore (push past) our actual technological capabilities. So, off my soapbox, good video, I agree with alot of it...some of it is very bad ideas disguised by nice talk, and misinterpretation of facts.

Who’s responsible for climate change? ITS EVERYONE

2:50 Finland does not exist :(

Good job Philippines you don’t have gas

2:04 Sealand, our beloved home

you got Indian flag wrong at 4:08

Mind doing an episode all about the components of plastic and what we could do?

7:14 *uses the indian flag* Me, a Nigerian immigrant: *Confusion*

Last year Karachi suffered from such horrific rains and flooding and Pakistan isn't even a significant contributor to green house emissions. May Allah protect us all from floodings and heat wave this year. Ameen♥️

How do I send this video to Governments all over the world?

But now china can claim that it is responsible for growth of sustainable development

It doesn't matter who caused it but everyone will be affected so everyone needs to try and fix it

04:09 this isn't Indian flag.. This is 🇮🇳

no offense but china now makes so much stupid shit that we dont need if they would stop it could be a beginning

everyone end of video thats it

The flashy cupboard uniquely peel because good-bye grossly form barring a friendly way. wild, ordinary suggestion

I don't really think that I will live 70-80 year. I am just 17 and really concerned about environment

와 우리가 전세계 2프로나?

you made a mistake. (4:10) you put Iran's Flag but u Called it India.

7:16 this is the most annoying thing I've ever heard. The main culprits are not even getting punished. In fact they're getting even more from this since now they're even more in power. SO ANNOYING!

Pls use exact indian flag

Worried if sometime humans might have to leave Earth

The best part was Indian is only 7% l live in India proud moments

It India man

Ez question Both

4:07 hey no hate but I'm pretty sure that's not the flag of India

This is why we don't deserve earth

GO COMMONWEATH

Nonsense. What is "climate change"?? This is disappointing. Thought it was an independent blog.

China 🇨🇳 the evil country

Oil people suddenly all Arab country

4:06 that isn't indias flag 100%

why dont the goverment print more money to get clean energy

I'd rather keep China in Yellow or Orange , China in Red feels wrong on so many levels.

So instead of trying to actually stop climate change it is a blame game, even though, directly and indirectly we are all responsible.

Wow this is a good vid you can know what is killing us but we were to onse who are killing themselves (stop this globle warming and help nature regrow)

"And South Korea" *Proceeds to highlight North Korea*

per capita the west
