Is the world focused enough on climate change? | Inside Story


A state of emergency in Zimbabwe, extreme drought putting millions of people in danger.
As wars rage in Gaza and Ukraine, the battle against climate change continues – but arguably makes fewer headlines.
Is the world paying enough attention to the threat the entire planet faces?

  1. What a load of BS.. Africa population 1990 = 816 million.. 2016 = 1,200 million.. by 2050 will be 2,500 million.. no problem with having lots of babies and then expect someone else to feed them…

  2. The world isn't focused anywhere near enough on climate change to save the human race. Not even close. The world would need to be united and put forth an effort equal to 5X WW2 to have any hope of surviving climate change. On the current trajectory, there won't be a single human being remaining on Earth by 2030.

  3. I can’t get a paper bag at the grocery store anymore -ONLY EXTRA THICK PLASTIC BAGS AVAILABLE AT MY GROCERY.?!?! Who is in charge of that, I can’t do anything about that… HELLO LAWMAKERS!!!!???

  4. ✈️ chem trails in sky
    They think we're clueless
    But it's climate change
    Hurting us right!!!!
    Darn I think Gretta Dumburg. Should know about this anyone have her#? 🤪🤐😵‍💫😖😣

  5. People get paid a lot of money spouting this rubbish' climate the movie is a free to watch film on YouTube if you're interested in the climate watch that.

  6. I can tell you for sure this is manmade leading to food control by the elite. Nkt. I wonder what lgbtq has anything to do with aid. The westerners have proved to be the cheapest people selling their morals and souls for money power and fame. The devil is your father and at the end you shall know that truly your souls belong to God and the devil has no friend.

  7. Mankind has long, long, LOOONNNG passed the point of no return regarding a myriad of things contributing to scarcity of water, food, ethics, logic, science, etc. Enjoy whatever hours, weeks, months, or years you have, and GL;HF!

  8. So many morons in the States can't even remember the actual horrors of the Trump years. And you expect them to think for a New York minute about people starving to death overseas? Dream on…

  9. Those who have seen draught and hunger never tell and want their children from getting scared so they don't realize and keep wasting resources and water. We have huge size oceans but they can't fulfill clean /fresh water requirement that is only less than five percent of total water in planet. This is for all plants and animals lives not just for humans. It also has to be shared with future generations yet to come too.

  10. Where's Al Jazeer been on climate change. Their audience have been in the bullseye for some of the worst early effects CC, especially with the heat growing more rapidly now. A culling is coming.

  11. Under the ground there are caverns and caves that were created to store fresh water. Deployment of beaver 🦫 like measures and allowing the water from streams to soak or percolate into the earth insted of running off into the oceans is critical . Simple concept but key dynamics for benefiting humanity

  12. Grow native stuff stop burning your lands.
    Stop growing rice corn or wheat just stop the world needs to stop growing the same stuff literally around the whole world.
    Diversity helps monoculture is nothing but problems.

  13. The "world leaders" *vomits in mouth* don't care about the world only profits. They'll never change anything until we are all paying to filter the air we breathe and they profit off it.

  14. Zimbabwe is NOT the world! Zimbabwe is just a tiny spot on the globe! Weather is NOT climate and regional events are NOT global! This whole video is pure propaganda that has nothing to do with climate!

  15. Not entire planet. Europe can only benefit, for example. Tropical paradise better than frozen wastelands. We have had both extremes before, no big deal. Africa was a tropical paradise in both cases. I am surprised it is only Europeans who fight global warming. At our own expense. How pathetic.

  16. The problem with action on climate change is that it is one big prisoners' dilemma. We can all agree that everyone is best of if we all made big and rapid changes right now. However, each and every nation has an incentive not to make those changes and get a competitive advantage from the cheap energy and lower cost or they simply don't have the resources to make the big changes if they wanted. So in the end, everyone is dragging their feet.

  17. Thanks Al Jazeera Inside Story… The reality of the situation is there is a global class war occurring. The billionaire class absolutely require resources to fuel economic growth and their own wealth. In order to achieve this global hegemony and imperialism are practiced from Latin America through Africa, and West Asia to the far East of Asia together with the pacific. Much of the destruction of world ecosystems, oceans, ice caps and glaciers is incidental to the objectives of the billionaire class in all countries. Imperialism has turned inward to attack its own, look at the USA, UK and EU where domestic regimes attack their own people with austerity and impoverishment. It's end stage capitalism by another name. It's an intoxicating game played by the ultra rich, like war its partner in chaos. There are many trying to change things, but not enough to instil a backbone in the majority of people. It might change, but we're on an escalator to at least 3º Centigrade above 1850 to 1905 preindustrial, perhaps 6º C this century alone. As top climate scientists have said, it's going to heat up now whatever we do, but if we start now to mitigate globally as hard as we can, the temperature rise might be slowed enough for humanity to survive in a lower energy regime more akin to 1950. Nontheless, many will suffer and not survive, as we already see in the Global South. Estimates of numbers of people dying this century are as high as 6 billion. Already, about 10 million are dying every year alone because of the heating climate.

    The numbers and the methods that people use around the world to protest the genocide in Palestine Gaza, the world needs more people that that to get out on the streets to protest their govts take immediate and effective practical action to stop emitting greenhouse gases and put plans into action to enable life to continue.

  18. I’m sorry, what a rubbish, left-wing people care deeply about climate change, but unless we get rid of Murdoch right when people don’t believe it even exists. So what’s the point in worrying about something that half the Western world think is a conspiracy theory if humanity wants to fight climate change get rid of Rupert, Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch
