IPCC - How Bad Can It Be

Dr. Peter Carter presents the major findings of the IPCC’s 6th Assessment report and discusses them with Regina Valdez. Peter succinctly summarizes it as follows: “The report finds unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5°C or even 2°C will be beyond reach.”

This video was recorded on Aug 13th, 2021, and published on August 24th, 2021.

Topics discussed include the following:
- A presentation of the Working Group I report, which is the first instalment of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
- Peter mentions some of the websites he uses to help him keep track of Government action on Climate which include ‘Climate Action Tracker’ and ‘Energy Policy Tracker.’
- Despite the clarity of the information in the reports, governments are failing to take proportional action and are actually doing the opposite of what’s needed by providing billions of dollars in subsidies to Fossil Fuel Corporations.
- How fossil fuel corporations continue in their campaigns to impede action on climate change by misinforming the public.
- The fact that climate change will affect food production in every area of the globe including the more developed northern nations such as Canada.
- Peter encourages the use of the 6th Assessment one page press release and the 2 page headline statement to do the work of informing our government by writing to your local government official to demonstrate the dire nature of the situation and the need to take serious action.

The Evil Forces Behind Climate Change: Fossil Fuel Giants

The Guardian has unveiled the 20 fossil fuel companies whose relentless exploitation of the world's oil, gas, and coal reserves can be directly linked to over one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions in the modern era. This data, provided by the Climate Accountability Institute in the US, reveals how these state-owned and multinational firms are driving the climate emergency, even though they are aware of the industry's devastating impact on the planet. The top 20 companies have contributed to 35% of all energy-related carbon dioxide and methane worldwide, totaling 480 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent since 1965. The list includes well-known names such as Chevron, Exxon, BP, and Shell, as well as state-owned companies like Saudi Aramco and Gazprom. Chevron, Exxon, BP, and Shell alone are behind more than 10% of the world's carbon emissions since 1965. These companies have continued to expand their operations, despite knowing the environmental impact of fossil ...

Global Warming Facts & Surface Temperature Changes

Global Warming Facts: Understanding 150 Years of Surface Temperature Changes Visit the updated page at:  Global Warming Facts (climatemanagement.site) Our Earth's weather is like a big puzzle with many pieces. Some things make it hot, and some things make it cold. People have been watching the weather for 150 years, writing down how hot or cold it is every day. This helps us learn about our planet. We need to know about the weather because it helps us live better. It tells us what happened before, what we should do now, and what might happen later. In this article, we will talk about how the weather has changed over time. We will look at old weather books, science tools, important discoveries, and what it all means for us and our world. Come with us on an adventure! We'll go back in time and see how people learned about the weather long ago. We'll find out how they use special tools today to know more. And we'll see what all of this means for you, me, and everyone ...
