Why we have less than 9 years left to save our planet

With only 9 years left to halve global emissions, this episode explores why we should reframe climate change as a climate crisis. 

We take a look back at all the COPs of the past, the crucial turning points of the Paris climate agreement, and the 2018 IPCC report in order to understand why COP 26 this year in Glasgow is so important in our attempts to limit temperature rise.

Some comments about this video:

9 years seems too optimistic. I've read several articles that stated the CO2 budget for the 1.5° goal will have been fully spent by 2027. Realistically, if we look at how little progress we've made all these decades, it seem extremely unlikely that we will be able to curb our CO2 emissions fast enough to meet the 1.5° goal, and I'm not overly optimistic about the 2° goal either.

Should be titled "How we blew past our last chance to prevent habitat collapse and Near Term Human Extinction sixty years ago."

Its going to be a real horror show. & it's all ready well under way. Wildfires, drought & historic flooding all over the planet is happening right now.

Rearranging deck-chairs on the titanic. As a species, we are greedy and stupid.  Therefore, we are doomed.

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 ...
