  1. More Al Gore NBC Fake news.

  2. I bet you if we lived in only summer for our entire eternity and then winter started to fall on us we would freakout just like this

  3. Meanwhile the fossil fuel companies are planning to expand production 10% by 2030. Just this past year 2022 set a new CO2 global emissions record of 40.5 billion tons. The Earth's plant life on land & sea uses about 16 billion tons in photosynthesis annually, so the other 24.5 was added to the mountains of tons already emitted. And if you think it could all stop on a dime if we somehow stopped emitting CO2 – it has momentum lasting decades. I'm not saying we're doomed, I'm saying we need to find a way to change our energy sources fast.

  4. All this happen because of our technologies.

  5. I’m not scare of global warming I’m scared of the democrats and nbc cbs abc they’re destroying America

  6. With less weight at poles a earth's shell slip is being avoided.. saving ourselves and don't know it.

  7. Climate change
    Summer
    Fall
    Winter
    Spring

  8. If the water rises. Floods and droughts, then we need to make an emergency ready just in case of natural disasters to do climate change

  9. Nobody KNOWS What tomorrow's will BE❤

  10. That's what they are supposed to be doing if they were increasing worldwide we would be into planet earth's next ice age and that's no good

  11. I don’t want to be a pessimist, but we are well beyond the tipping point. We should have did something about this 30 to 40 years ago. It’s too late.

  12. To world governments: Either you stop climate change, or say goodbye to the peaceful world you worked so hard to create!!

  13. There is a chemical salt being released or underwater volcanos to melt the ice.

  14. Something waits within the shadows
    Like an army in the night
    Lock the doors and board the windows
    Oh, oh
    A storm is comin'
    That you can't escape
    Tears are fallin'
    Like blood and rain
    Thunder's shaking
    And it's gonna break
    A storm is comin'
    That you can't escape
    Tears are falling' from the darkness
    Feel them crash upon your skin Look for shelter, you won't find it
    No, no
    A storm is comin'
    That you can't escape
    Tears are fallin'
    Like blood and rain
    Thunder's shaking
    And it's gonna break
    A storm is comin' ⚡️🌩️⚡️🌩️⚡️🌩️

    The flood, the fear,

    Heaven, let's shake the rust.
    We survived,
    Hold on in the light.

  15. Bs. Sea levels arent rising. New york would be devastated if it were happening. In 2010 they weresay the same thing in 10 years. Nothing happened.

  16. Biden campaigning, there going to flood the networks with global warming.

  17. Thank God we now have more government (office of environmental justice) which will definitely not be a grift of tax payer money. Also we have our glorious media to tell us the truth just like they did during COVID-19. 😂 I cannot express my contempt enough. Print money scare gullible people and limit freedom will be the answer like always.

  19. They've been saying this stuff for over 100 years. Haven't been right once, they just keep pushing the date back.
    Young Greta even predicted 2023 but for some reason she took down her tweet?

  20. Kinda hard for me to care about melting glaciers when we are trying to put food on the table.

  21. Was Al Gore the leading scientist on this?

  22. Now we can have child slave labor strip mine the cobalt and lithium that was trapped under glaciers for EV batteries that are nonrenewable.

  23. Why is waterfront property value increasing? Explain that.

  24. Not true . The Earth has undergone FIVE ice ages. The other four melted at a much faster rate than the one we just experienced.

  25. Glaciers melting at record rates? What is the record ? When was it set ? And broken already?

  26. THIS IS LIES AND TOTALLY MISLEADING,,,,I am a weather scientist and have been one for the last 42 years. I work directly on Canadian icebreaker ships in the Arctic measuring snd calculating ice. Ice is actually more in the last seven years. THIS ARTICLE IS TOTALLY TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND IS INACCURATE AT ALL LEVELS. The Canadian gov't has all the info and facts but refuse release any of the true and accurate data,,,,I WONDER WHY ???

  27. Climate Change Nut's…
    Controlling One and Freeing Another…
    What A Joke…???
    And No One Is Talking About This…
    "All or Nothing"…
    God Bless Our World…
    Only In You God…
    We Place Our Trust..
    God Bless @ Amen

  28. What killed the wooly mammoths? Climate change….there were no cars…planes…industry….climate change has happened since there was a climate…and will continue as long as there is a climate….libs harp on this because there is money to be made and because it helps them feel better about their mental illness…

  29. How many years do we have left? This time.

  30. Utter BULL.s..t.. get a glass freeze it, half full. Then top up with water so ice floats and it's full to the brim..now as the ice melts, the glass..STAYS THE SAME.
    EQUALS..the seas will NOT RISE..climate change is a hoax

  31. So what caused the climate change 11,600 years ago with the great flood and the ice ages and melting before that, it's a cycle every 12000 years, it seems😮

  32. dw guys apparently the solution is giving the government even more £££ bc that'll fix it😅

  33. Dont forget to keep your garbage fires burning outside! We'll get Florida underwater by the end of the century <3

  34. meanwhile I'm driving to mcdonalds in my hummer h2

  35. Guys if u don’t want ur kids to suffer just don’t have kids anymore we are going into times we’re we can’t have a family with out worrying if there going to live a good life

  36. A year ago, literally, it was in 100 years the oceans would rise a foot. Next year it'll have happened

  37. Glaciers have been melting for THOUSANDS of years…This is not new. All the chicken littles that want an emergency so they fire off executive orders need to chill out. Been a very cold winter on the west coast.
