#YouTuber @rezomusik did remarkable research for this video, talking to scientists and - really - checking out the insights provided by @IPCC_CH new #climate report. #rezo has strong views, but he's basing them on sound evidence. Sorry, this is in German:

“We’re seeing cracks in the resilience of the Earth’s systems. We’re seeing massive cracks on land (...), but the oceans are also showing signs of instability. Nature has so far balanced our abuse. This is coming to an end.” PIKs @jrockstrom in @guardian.
Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?
