  • What an extraordinary piece of work. You've already changed the world of software development; I think you're about to change the world. Outstanding.
  • @henxDmacssi
    That's one of the most amazing videos I've seen in a while 😳 Finally someone who talks about a serious problem in a simple language, so even children at the age of 14 would understand the most of it. Huge respect!
  • @ConfusedConfuse
    Henrik, you are The Man. Went on a course a few weeks back with you and now I watched this video. You are amazing!
  • @Athaeus
    This is a really nice video! Bonus on actually including the sources, which is a rare sight on YouTube!
  • What an excellent detailed presentation on climate change. I just like this with my whole heart. This is beyond words....
  • @nhasinger

  • @jackinat0r114
    Spot-on video. I’m surprised it took so long for this to turn up in my recommendations!
  • @brnlj
    Excellent summary. Much needed those days.
  • @seanbrown4075
    We will use this at our school for our advisory's lesson on climate change for Earth Day. Thanks!
  • @143thendral
    Please do more of this type of videos. My son who is 6 years old loves it and able to understand clearly. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your work.
  • @russiandollie
    One of the easiest and best explained video about climate change I've watched in a long time. Why use difficult words/figures when easy explanation makes things so much better. Thank you!!! I will share this with all my students. 👏🏻😁✌🏻
  • @graham_jay1772
    THIS IS THE BEST CLIMATE CHANGE PRESENTATION THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
  • Political solutions require broad public understanding of the problem and the solutions. No mean feat to provide comprehensive information in a watchable format. Well done!
  • @pversteijnen
    Inspiring video Henrik makes me think... and hopefully act!
  • @jonstahl9039
    Great job Henrik, as usual, so very cool to see you applying your skills outside of software :)
  • Awesome! As a high school science teacher, climate activist and carbon tax advocate, I will use this video a lot. I love your all-inclusive, contribute what you can contribute approach. You also very gently touch on a lot of the hot button political issues in a way that diffuses the challenges. Wonderful job!
  • @azorty783
    I really appreciate the clear factual and pragmatic solutions/ hopeful oriented message
