I swear if I have to hear about volcanos again I am gonna blow myself up.
@parthkapoor7408
as horrific as the whole global boiling/warming/climate change thing is, the way you put all the pieces together at 6:45 was incredibly satisfying

"Buuuuuut CO2=plant food" Dunning Krüger effect in the current era is live and well, especially with how so many deniers seem to think previous climactic changes are some deeply kept secret.
@altareggo
Exceptionally good summary of the basics. Kudos!!!
@TheLovescream
This video is going into my argumentative arsenal for climate debates. Thanks Simon!
@superstormthunder3
I’m sure these comments will eventually be flooded by climate deniers that rather believe a blogger who makes things up than an actual scientist who reads the scientific literature. But this video was very good and appreciated.

Something I've never understood is why does it matter what the cause is, we know what to do regardless. So I'm a volunteer with Citizen's Climate Lobby and the other day at an event I was talking with someone who didn't think it was human caused and I replied "what difference does it make? If you saw a guy collapse and you call an ambulance the paramedics aren't going to choose to help or not depending on the cause of the guy collapsing. Regardless of the cause they'll get to it taking care of the guy." And he replied to me that I had a good point. The important thing isn't whether or not we caused it. The important thing is that we can do something about it.
@OldShatterham
Great video! I also really liked the visualizations.
@OilCanHarry2U
The most unfortunate aspect about this brilliant explanation, is that those who really need to hear this…won’t.
@minh-sanantoniotexas776
I like Simon Clark's videos more and more. This video is one of the best, taking complex notions and bringing down to understandable, and fun explanations. Also helps that he is articulate, easy to understand and presents his ideas in a dynamic flow. Thinking about Patreon.

The scientific consensus on the human role in climate change is very strong. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change, has concluded that "it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century." The evidence is clear: humans are responsible for the extra CO2 in the atmosphere, and this CO2 is causing the Earth to warm.
@jimhood1202
Thanks for this. Enjoyed the cabon isotope section especially.
@peterchandler8505
Great summary of the fundamentals, hope this gets around to those who might benefit!
@LudvigIndestrucable
You missed a perfect Philomena Cunk line. Carbon 14, named after the line from that Sting song, which was named for the nucleus of that isotope
@QT5656
Excellent video Simon. I will be sharing it online later today.
@alyeanna
I love your videos because they're always very clear and simple, you're able to take a complex subject and make it accessible for everyone. It's great! Thank you for all you do!
@innerhonesty5046
Thank you again. I am really happy that you are filming these amazing videos!😊
@danielbob2628
I wouldn't fault anyone personally for thinking that conspiracies this large can happen (I believe they happen too), but climate change is not one of them. I really appreciate this video, because it explained the reasons better than I ever could.
@kevinoneill41
PS after crunching numbers C02 doesn't seem to follow the temperature all that closely
