Why Climate Change is Worse Than You Think

Climate change is not moving as slowly as we’d like to think. In fact, half of all the damage done through burning fossil fuels has been just over the last 30 years. Unfortunately, every year is now more damaging than the last. The good news is that we are not at a point of no return. While we will never have the same climate we had before industrialization, we can make a positive impact on the future of climate change by taking action now.

My guest on this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is here to tell us how. David Wallace-Wells is the deputy editor of New York magazine and the author of the international bestseller The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, published in February 2019, which the New York Times called both "brilliant" and "the most terrifying book I have ever read." While the real truth about climate change can be scary, it’s a more important conversation than ever. Throughout our talk, David shares the history of climate change and the three major issues at hand: speed, scope, and severity.

  1. It’s man made weather manipulation called Geoengineering and recently the name has been changed to Bioengineering.

    • @D Master Your user name fits you perfectly. Let your democratic heros continue to teach you to spew hatred and violence. Tell me, why do you guys cry over the supposed concentration camps but love killing kids in the womb? Everything you guys say is hypocritical and you have no credibility. No one cares what you think. Your response to this will prove your hatred and violence. Even being warned, you will do it anyway. Lol.

  2. “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing”

    Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti explains “The Green New Deal.”

    America… consider yourself warned!

  3. Bang on presentation. Surprising to hear half the damage we’ve done has been in the past 30 years. Climate change is non-linear, and climate catastrophe will happen much sooner than we think.

    Carbon removal technologies is a must. On a massive scale. Planting trees is not enough. We need a profit based model that would benefit from carbon removal technology.

  4. Major dangerous man-made climate change is a pseudo-religious belief system, not a proven scientific fact. As a theology it is similar to Scientology, Astrology, numerology, and even the so-called “Zen macrobiotic diet“ that warns that “yin is sin.” For Al Gore and other climate change true believers, carbon is taboo even though humans are 18.5% carbon by weight, and all of our food, shelter, clothing, and own children are made of carbon. Carbon creatures fighting carbon is suicide and homicide, not science.

    The latest NASA space probe data shows that the atmospheric greenhouse gas theory is a misunderstanding and fantasy, not a real phenomenon in the provable, observable universe. Please see *New Climate Discovery* at http://renewable.50webs.com/Zeller.Nikolov.html

    The following quote reveals why Neo-Marxist politicians love climate change theology. “The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is that it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.” – “Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?” – “Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.” — Saikat Chakrabarti, chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)

  5. Deniers have their heads buried in the sand and don’t want to take any responsibility and don’t want to change their behaviors and lifestyles. What we all do affect us all and our kids and grandkids. This doesn’t mean getting rid of cows, though. It means letting go of the stupid grains, corn and soy crops and letting the grasslands come back to sequester carbon. The cows help in that process. We can also use the cows nose to tail for food. Much healthier all around for people and planet. Natural!!

  6. Call me skeptical or a denier but The proponents keep changing time lines and making predictions that have proven to be false or contradict each other. For Example: In 2017Christiana Figueres (architect of the process that lead to the Paris Climate Agreement and now vice-chair of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy), says that we only have three years to act .
    2018 Harvard Professor James Anderson gave us only 5 years.

    2019 UN clinmate report and AOC gave us 12 years.

    2019 Prince Charles 18 years

    2007 BBC report arctic Ice free by 2013

    2009 Al Gore stated arctic ice free by 2016

    2018 Harvard Professor James Anderson arctic ice free by 2022

    2008 ABC-Bob Woodward-Earth 2100- Parts of New York City underwater Gas over $9 a gallon and a carton of milk costs $13 by 2015.

    So yes I am skeptical. Remember the Peak Oil Hysteria?

  7. Does anyone else here, besides me, understand that the SUN is the driver of our jet streams and is about to enter a 400 year “Grand” Solar Minimum possibly an even greater cycle, 3600 or maybe a 6000+ year cycle?? If fact our star goes through many different cycles, some greater than others. There are other factors at play here as well, such as our place in the galaxy and other cosmic rays that play a MUCH larger role in what happens here on this planet we call Earth!

    I hate to break it to you but it was MUCH MUCH warmer when the Dinosaurs were around and it didn’t end all life and turn Earth into a “Venus” planet or a Mars.

    Also, Pole reversals have NOTHING to do with climate change and EVERYTHING to do with the next extinction level event that will inevitably come at some point, maybe in our lifetimes…

    Why would the CIA recently release a classified document called “The Adam and Eve Story”?? Don’t believe me?? Look it up, better yet, watch this video of the first chapter > https://youtu.be/wvjJqIXYT1w

  8. I’m hecka scared I’m to young this earth is gonna go down in 100 years or more if people don’t do something about this

  9. Solid discussion we must listen to and share share share. Ignorance will not be any shield for roasting summers nor rising seas and flooding lands. We are capable individually and as a community to start and push forward changes to make it better now.

  10. VERY BIG PROBLEM METHANE IS A BIG BOMB , every day coming 200.000 new polluters to this planet. Nobody will stop this and oil is used more and more. So take your health insurance cards, possessions, money, credit cards, language skills, diplomas and fancy titles. In 10 till 12 years you can burn it with the rest of this planet

  11. There was the Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous extinction. They all occurred naturally. Each extinction was capable of wiping out more than 60% of all vital life on earth. There will be another one. But this time it will be caused by us, Homo sapiens.

    Homo sapiens; Arguably the most intelligent organism to ever live on Planet Earth, so smart that they were able to outsmart theirselves.
