One of my favorite channels on YouTube is Kurzgesagt and they recently (looking at date, well, last year - still recent in the scale of things) had a video on global warming - Can YOU Fix Climate Change? [VIDEO] There's also Do we Need Nuclear Energy to Stop Climate Change? - [LINK] Is It Too Late To Stop Climate Change? Well, it's Complicated. - [LINK]

Kurzgesagt made a really good video about climate change [0]. What stuck with me the most was that if I would eliminate 100% of my emissions in my entire life, I would save 1 second of global energy sector emissions. [0] [VIDEO]

You are not representing the seriousness of this situation adequately (in my opinion). This excellent cartoon video explains the seriousness of all the lesser known sources of carbon: [VIDEO] Seems like Chairman Xi is serious about tackling Climate Change so he does not get deposed if the Gobi desert grows and eventually swallows up half of China.
