Anyone remember the beginning of the pandemic, when everything was shut down, people were sheltering at home, no cars or not as many trucks on the roads?
Do you also remember how clear the sky was, how quiet it was?
We need to reverse the damage industrialized nations have done to the earth. Now!
It was a very nice time to be biking without the car drivers and their bad air that ruled the world.
Same thing happened after 9/11 when they grounded all flights

The quiet that you heard was the sound of the dead Earth that you can't hear when the machines are running. Then you could hear the dead silence -- the ominous sound of extinction. It was a warning of our own impending extinction. The warning was clear, IF we don't start acting as ecological stewards we will destroy OURSELVES!
@RachelsSweetie
Yes, I could basically ride to anywhere in our area, like my favorite grocery store, without fearing being mowed down by an angry pick-up 🛻 driver.
Wow the fossil fuel companies are getting desperate!
Anyone that doesn't understand climate change can do a pretty easy experiement to help them grasp the concept. Get two glass jars and two thermometers. Place one thermometer in one jar and the other one in the remaining jar. Then wrap one jar in plastic wrap completely but where you can still read the termomemter. Place both in sun and see which one heats up quicker and higher.
people want to believe what oil companies are pushing because its convenient for them and it means nothing has to change for them. those kinds of people arent willing to do experiments, they just want to keep doing what theyre doing and not have to care
Facts
Ahh.. America
The ecological benefits of fossil fuels - did I hear you right?
That might be a good way to punk a debate club, but HONESTLY...
I absolutely agree with him, "Having no petroleum" certainly "is a nightmare". So maybe people should try not to be wasteful with it, wherever possible, just in case we only have a limited amount of it and the world does not actually end tomorrow. Who knows, maybe future generations will discover that they need it far more than we do and can put it to a more beneficial use than our generation. I also can't argue about climate change being anything other than a natural occurance, it has always happened every season throughout my life. Admittedly I am not a scientist qualified in analizing the current trends in climate behaviour, so I am not going to speculate, but I would prefer it if future generations did not end up depending on ice cream and gasoline to stay cool.
Appreciate your light hearted-ness but unfortunately being “in the middle” is a fallacy. Imagine if we were “in the middle” about slavery or woman’s rights. “Yea, slavery is probably bad but we also really need to for economic growth so we just can’t be too quick to come to conclusions”.
Sir. I have the right to freedom of speech and I assume that this means that I have the right to refuse to spew out random information, without having actually ever verified it's accuracy myself.
Fact of the matter is that there is no need for me to research the truth, when I am very close to providing the solutions for everyone anyway.
@@arielmarshall5501 course you have the freedom of speech and I have the freedom to point out why your speech is harmful. I think you should definitely research it. But regardless I am curious what you think the solutions are?
@@stevencats7137 Do you mind elaborating on what I have said that is harmful, so that I can try to understand your point of view? I do not have the rescources, nor the time to research this myself realistically. I hope you do not expect me to blindly trust the words and information people are presenting to the general public. The reason all my family members were murdered was because people were mostly coerced into pidgeoning inaccurate and genocide instigating government propaganda. I will never trust any government and I certainly will always have second thoughts about doing anything that they tell me to do and providing them with any information unnecessarily. Lets just say that I am working non stop on ensuring that everyone can have legitimate hope for a better future.
Thats pretty gross
This is cartoonishly evil
I grew up in Ohio and remember learning about these sources of energy because they there was a power plant 20 minutes away and coal is very important to that areas economy. Senior year fracking was becoming very popular and we learned about it.
Yes they taught us it, the benefits and the DANGERS. They taught us that our infrastructure couldn’t support complete transition to no fossil fuels. But it was important for us to discuss how to get to that point.
Yes these things should be taught in school. It’s up to the teacher, parents, and community to use the knowledge accordingly
*money !
Those that care about climate change should make books and videos too. Because those are definitely misinformation.
So what's the solution that you propose?
Cutting Down animal agriculture, creating a universal electrical grid that can actually use renewable energy, dismantling the profit motive
Support the National Renewable Electricity Futures Plan by the US Department of Energy........
Its pretty insane how little this is talked about.
I'm not eating bugs because you think there's a problem with the weather. In 5 months you can whine again that it's too hot.
I have lived through every world ending prediction in the last 50 years. In the late 60's we were taught that by the year 2000 the entire US would be underwater. In the 70' s we were taught that due to acid rain there would be no crops and most of the world would die from starvation. The 80's the new fear was death due to the demise of the ozone layer. At some point Global Warming was the thing. And today it's climate change. For the last 20 years they preach about more frequent and more intense storms. Living in Florida that's something I pay attention to, the last Cat 5 that hit Florida was Andrew in 1992. In my opinion 32 years doesn't qualify as more frequent.
Get back to me when it snows in July or hits 100° up north in January. That would be real climate change. And please stop pointing at wildfires and claiming that's climate change. Or making dumb statements that the oceans are boiling because one bouy hits 100° in the Florida straights. That's caused by water flowing from the relatively shallow waters of the Gulf flowing into the Atlantic. Everyone that lives here knows how hot the water gets on the West Coast beaches and you have to go to deeper water if you want to get cooled off. Even my swimming pool hits 120° at the surface if the pump isn't running with the cover on. Newsflash, the summer sun is hot and radiant heat is stored in objects
@@fauxque5057 you do not understand science. Sorry, but science does not care about your feelings. Ironic, because it sounds like you’re on the far right and love using that phrase. Probably hurts to know it describes you perfectly, so I’ll say it again : NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS
My doctor told me if i raised my sodium intake from 0.045% to 0.05% i will be dead within a week from a heart attack.
Super serious!!!
I'm alarmed by climate change for sure. It tends to occur with frightening regularity. Almost like it's a seasonal thing. 🤔
Hottest summer in 125000 years - yup! Totes normal!
& You can prove that next year, as IT will likely be hottest in 125k yrs TOO! That's exactly what normal looks like! 🙃
I literally can't even tell the difference anymore between hard core doubling down right wing and trolls. You, if you're not just trolling, have spent far too much time passing around hyperbolic right wing memes, so now you can't even tell the difference between what's exaggerated and what's real

No. It's not almost like the seasons changing. Not at all. Anyone who says so does not understand the issue.
Climate is not the same as weather. Not the same as the seasons changing. Not simply a matter of hot or cold. This is an extremely serious, complex issue, and only fools will try to shrug it away.
The temperature of the Earth is increasing. Glaciers are melting. Natural disasters are increasingly prevalent. Sea levels are rising. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences are looming. This isn't a fantasy, and it's definitely not a joke.
@@iloveprivacy8167, who was recording temperatures 1255000 years ago?
On another note, the petroleum crowd is actually right, we cannot function as a society now without the use of oil
That's what needs the change.
@@kennethgraves9662So what are you going to change it to? EV's just proved how fantastic they are in the recent cold snap. They still require fossil fuels to build as well as power up. Solar isn't the answer either. Cloudy days, rainy days, and night time are all detrimental to creating power from solar.
Good arguments, but why weaken your position then by ending with another debated issue.
Next " topic " ?
Lmao
Because facts are only debated by the poorly educated like yourself. The rest of us understand that a fact means verifiable. That's what makes it a fact, not an opinion.
Your profound lack of education and inability to reason is why we still have to fight corrupt politicians to do the right thing. People like you give their corruption power...

😂 “Debated”? 😂
Most statistically agree that Rs are way off here as well.
Imagine thinking a book about the true story of two penguin dads that live at a museum isn’t “appropriate.” 🐧 😂
fossil fuels are amazing, they are used for so many things.
Thanks for adding a comment to this video.
Most women would be pro fossil fuels if you told them what their make up and silicone enhancements are made of.
Climate change is natural. If you people marketed it as "fighting pollution" and stopped trying to fill the minds of naive impressionable youth with existential dread about the world ending, I think more people would be on your side.
lol 0/10
Thing is = that isn`t what These Videos are for = THAT WOULD BE THE OIL INDUSTRY . And their PROPAGANDA HUMANS CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT OIL !
I really hope your comment was a Layered Joke Instead of a direct assault = ON FACTUALLY CORRECT TRUTHS SHE JUST SPEWED ALL OVER YOUR SCREEN .
come down to louisiana and say this come live here. our world is ending cher
If you people 🤦🏼♀️
Meanwhile: Dennis talks about end times every GD day . 🤣
Climate change. It's a thing .
@@Roevember2024Humanity lived through 2 ice ages with 0 technology. I think we can handle some climate change just fine.
