If global temperatures rise three degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the results would be catastrophic. It’s an entirely plausible scenario, and this film shows you what it would look like.

00:00 - What will a 3°C world look like?
00:57 - Climate change is already having devastating effects
02:58 - How climate modelling works
04:06 - Nowhere is safe from global warming
05:20 - The impact of prolonged droughts
08:24 - Rising sea levels, storm surges and flooding
10:27 - Extreme heat and wet-bulb temperatures
12:51 - Increased migration and conflict
14:26 - Adaptation and mitigation are crucial

1. The only current optimism I have is deglobalization

Companies, people, even some governments here or there are sourcing, living local. Trains instead of planes, local farms. The repricing of the costs of shipping are forcing people to live local. But it's a nascent and small change in the age of Amazon

2. I agree.

Not just Amazon, but WHAT people continue to buy at Amazon...fast fashion, seasonal home decor, bigger disposable Halloween yard decor and costumes. Walk into a Michael's store and you'll see millions of plastic junk products that were almost all made in China and shipped half way around the world then hauled on trucks to every town in America. Same with Dollar General.

People need to stop buying junk that goes into the land fills at the end of the season!

America really lags behind the rest of the world with trains...can't believe we still don't have high speed rail of any kind.
