YouTube doesn t believe in global warming

YouTube doesn't believe in a climate catastrophe , at least not that it has anything to do with human activities.

It would seem that if 97 percent. scientific research written by academicians from around the world agrees with each other, we should enjoy, cheer and recognize that we are dealing with certainty Unfortunately. Not all scientific consensus is any argument. An article from researchers at the University of Aachen shows that more than half of YouTube's content denies that human activity is the main reason for the impending disaster. Many deny that such a catastrophe is coming at all.

What does the world's largest class teach?

Researchers from Germany randomly selected 200 films on climate change and analyzed them. The authors of 107 either claimed that man has no influence on climate change or denied the existence of global warming in general (this is a plot of ecoterrorists / global corporations / lobby of a powerful secret organization of cyclists). The latter was as many as 91. The only consolation may be that the films talking about the climate catastrophe as a real problem had slightly more views (in total 16.941.949 to 16.939,655).

These statistics should bother us, because it's not just about social media, it's about what we and future generations will believe. Most of us, to find out something, do not go to the library for a book or encyclopedia, but reach for the phone and enter the appropriate password in the Google search engine. And although everyone can look at Wikipedia, which can be a fairly reliable source of information, not everyone will choose it. The articles in it are finally written so as to be comprehensive and encyclopedic, and not colorful, funny and emotionally engaging. In a word - scientific boredom. It's easier to turn on YouTube and look for answers to our questions.

Social media are not prepared for the role they play.

We forget that social media were not created to search for information, they were designed primarily for entertainment. There is no other great ecosystem for conspiracy theories, gossip and fake news like them. It is thanks to them that they spread at the speed of the fiber and close the viewer in the bubble of their theses. Both effects result directly from how these platforms are designed. Emotional content is promoted in them, and therefore clicks, comments and paws, because such content is better monetized. He closes himself in a safe personalization bubble, thanks to which he sees above all the theses with which he already agrees, because no one likes to have doubts and does not want to find out that he is wrong. Nodding sells better.

Although there is a whole bunch of great educational channels on the Google platform, the videos intertwine with the channels of all-knowing experts that weather global conspiracies everywhere. Searching for knowledge on YouTube requires vigilance and a healthier dose of skepticism. If most of the films posted there suggest that human impact on a global disaster does not exist, then we have a really big problem. It is no longer time to debate whether a person has influence on the climate or not. We already know it - it has. Now is the time to take very specific actions and very quickly, because our time is melting .
