According to a bombshell report, climate change could end human civilization by the year 2050,
that’s 31 short years away.
I don’t know about you guys but I’m kinda hoping to be retired and sipping pina coladas
on a beach by 2050.
Back to the drawing board I guess.
.Welcome back to your daily dose of anxiety, I mean informoverload.
You get anxiety, and you get anxiety, and you, you get an invisible potato.
My name is oprah, you might have heard of me.
Thanks for checking out another video on our channel.
If ya like my outfit or if my Gucci belt makes you feel poor, hit that like and subscribe.
Alright, lets get serious.
This is a serious video and oprah does not joke around.
You know the apocalypse the bible talks about?
The one with the floods, famine, drought and the dismantling of international order?
Yeah.
It looks like its actually going to happen if we don’t do something drastic to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
Breakthrough national center for climate restoration in Australia, published an analysis on may
30th that is pretty much scaring the crap out of everyone.
The analysis basically says that if we keep things the way they are, emissions will cause
a 3 degrees celcius or 5.4 degrees farenheit global warming, which will cause an apocalyptic
chain of events.
The authors say that this chain of events will lead to a huge likelihood of human civilization
coming to an end in the year 2050.
In that time, one billion people will be forced to move from unliveable conditions, and we
aren’t going to be able to feed the global population.
Ecosystems will collapse.
The arctic will be sea ice free.
Sea levels will rise.
We will lose more than 16 percent of all plant species and 8% of vertibrates.
Coral reefs will have it really really bad, in fact its likely we will lose 99% of coral
reefs should the global temperature rise even 2 degrees celcius.
North americans will experience extreme weather.
Heatwaves, drought, wildfires.
The middle east and west Africa will become completely unhabitable.
The analysis also says that 55% of the global population will be forced to deal with more
than 20 days a year of lethal heat conditions, quote, beyond the threshold of human survivability.
The report says and I quote.
This scenario provides a glimpse into a world of outright chaos on a path to the end of
human civilization and modern society as we know it.
In which the challenges to global security are simply overwhelming and political panic
becomes the norm.
So who are the authors of this paper and like what the heck do they know.
The paper is called Existential climate related security risk, written by David Spratt, research
director for breakthrough national client centre for climate restoration.
And Ian Dunlop.
Member of the club of rome, and a former oil and gas executive.
This is a YUGE deal, YUGE ok? a former oil and gas executive wrote a paper about the
devastating effects of climate change?
Yuge.
The report also contains a forward from Admiral Chris Barrie, retired chief of the Australian
defence force.
He says that the paper laying bare the unvarnished truth about the desperate situations humans,
and are planet are in.
What I should note is that this paper is not a scientific study.
What it was trying to do was use existing research to model future scenarios.
Both of the authors of this report are climate researchers and have been for a long time.
And this isn’t the first time that experts have warned of the dire consequences of climate
change.
Back in march, the united nations published a paper that found that the window for taking
action on climate change is closing fast.
That report said that if we continue business as usual, there will be millions of premature
deaths thanks to pollution, mass species extinction will limit our food and resource needs, and
also fresh water pollutants creating drug resistant infections a major cause of death
by 2050.
The point is, we have to act fast.
I wouldn’t be surprised if global governments start banning greenhouse gas emissions entirely,
or limiting the amount.
There is no other way.
Sure it might be an uncomfortable adjustment period, but I mean…uncomfortable adjustment…human
extinction.
It’s a toss up really.
If you guys wanna read this analysis, check out the story link in the description of this
video.
I know that when we make these types of videos, we tell you guys to be more environmentally
conscious and then everyone sweeps the problem under the rug.
That’s why we are in this mess in the first place.
You cant just keep listening to these warnings and not doing anything about it.
So here are some tips for reducing your impact on the environment.
Please listen to all of them, and please try to implement them in your every day life as
often as possible.
Before you waste energy, think, would oprah do this?
You know what oprah would do?
Go for a friggin walk instead of driving everywhere.
Or, Get a bike.
If you life far away from work, its going to be hard for you to get there without a
car, but if that’s the case then try carpooling with other people.
If you live close to school or work, Leave earlier, walk those short distances that you
hop on the bus for.
Its summer, its beautiful out, walking or biking is also going to make your butt nice.
Nice butt, you’ll be able to live into retirement because the planet wont be destroyed.
Win win scenario.
More tips, and these are for your home, use less hot water, don’t take those 40 minute
showers.
I love me a good long shower as much as anyone, and girl I got some sensitive ass skin and
legs for days so it takes me a while to shave, but instead of leaving the water on the whole
time, I turn it off and shave with cream.
Also, turn your air conditioning on ONLY when you’re in the house.
Leaving on your heating or air conditioning when you’re not home is such a huge waste
of energy and its also incredibly expensive.
I don’t know about you guys but I hate seeing those hundred dollar hydro bills.
Oh, another huge tip, this is something I learned after my bills were skyrocketing and
I couldn’t figure out why.
Replace the filters in your heat pump at least once every three months.
If that filter is full of dust, nothings going to get through it, so that heat pump is going
to have to work a lot harder.
Replacing that filter is an amazing way to save money on bills and also will reduce your
impact on the environment.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
GO forth and save the planet.
Lets wrap up this video with some comment features.

Magdiel – your face annoys me.
WELL YOUR COMMENTS ANNOY ME.
Oof – Charlotte is so pretty
