Earth's hottest weather in 120,000 years. It's just getting started | Jeff's Climate Classroom

53% of cards in the US are SUVs (19% are trucks) and only 1% of the 270 million vehicles in the US are electric. I have been hearing about reducing CO2 emission since the 70s and it's only getting worse.

I love this guy! Don't know how I found this channel and have no idea what city this news channel is for but I love watching and learning from Jeff

I only discovered this series a few days ago - good work. Everyone says the oceans are absorbing the heat - yeah, and what's absorbing the heat from the oceans? So far it's the sea ice melt in summer and to a lesser extent glacial runoff but that phase change from solid to liquid absorbs a huge amount of heat and that ice coverage is so much less it won't be able to soak up that heat through melting. If my understanding of Pacific currents is correct the loss of Antarctic sea ice on the Australian side will basically set up El Niño forever and the only way to fix it would be to re-freeze the ice sheets - not a likely scenario.

Really friggin impirtant that you sptead the word about this extraordinary stuff. Much respect

Hottest in 120,000 years huh?!!!! C’mon man!

He's a truth bearing hero!

Thanks, Jeff. I learned a lot from you. I know you from the interview in PBS Newshour .

One of the most important things everyone can do, is to make sure you're using A/C refrigerants that meet 2016 (+ this Tuesday's) upgrades re: CFCs (see: EPA 608 & 609). The EPA has great online resources (and Fed Tax Credits) to buy a better A/C ... now extended until 2032! Also check out the GREEN AMERICA organization, which has been researching consumer alternatives since 1984.

Bro where is JB?

I don't think it's a fair assumption that we can consume our way out of the crisis with EV's and promises of other tech. The crisis is asking for a radical shift in the way we all live, work, commute, and travel that can only come from government action.

WFLA drank the kool aid.

Sorry but climate change attains Existential Threat level at 2 degrees Celsius and at 2 degrees Celsius there's no longer any opportunity left to avoid 4 degrees. The only difference between 2 degrees warming and 4 degrees warming is the steepness of the human population cliff as the human species suffers a Malthusian collapse in response to the collapse of global agriculture.

wait that the Siberian see shell stat to play its part, this year seen the SST

Interesting graphic

Why can't car companies make cars powered by solar with solar panels on the roof and hood?

Flying, having a car (EVs or not), eating meat, having children etc are choices. Stop denying our fault in first step then move for a change, corporations and governments will delude again, stop thinking who always fought for his status will do something for you tomorrow. We have all infos and no excuses, try hard to quit this nonsense, find allies, rebel, fight or just do what they say, go other places, don't use your legs, eat cows, proliferate, support the system and stay with the greedy

What if you are wrong?😂😂😂 If greenhouse effect causes energy disbalance in the atmosphere what is the actual energy value in Joules that represents the so called 2C of warming? And how does that value compare to the energy input from the Sun?

Nobody had a proper thermometer up until 1800 fakts

So when was the COLDEST day...on Earth?

were turning the world into a heat sink and as the sun goes yhrough its cycles- everyything is magnified - ext, event- period thanx
