I think talking about UK getting 60% of food imported and the need to grow more food locally can be a good point even for people thinking in current economic frame.
This is so important, and yes, it’s beautiful. “Given what’s to come” we have no choice but to re-learn how to interact with each other and the world around us. Thank you so much 💚
We need to forget our differences, gay black young old ......no infighting we need to direct our anger against the people who have created this and love each other
Kiwiboii Supertramp I agree. Just hearing the birds and children playing in the background is what it’s all about. Caring for nature and the future of the kids.
Thank you! ONE way to help beat this huge problem is for individuals to be encouraged to invent other ways to fly , etc. etc. I believe there are inventors in our world who with enough protection will come out of the woodwork with amazing solutions. They have before but were discouraged, killed or had no money. Keep talking inventors, protection and funding. Turn anger into invention...get their minds going! They are out there! My grandfather invented the 4 hour Petri dish v.s. 4 days...in the 'olden' days.
Congratulations. I mean it. But the protest in XR has its cradle in fear, knowledge and the fact that nothing has changed till today. With 425ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. I invented to stop driving. I just hope that those inventors still can breath when they finished a job. A lot of planes have difficulties to fly in the hot humid air and the weels melt in the tarmac. Of course, it's not in the papers. We have invented electric cars, electric planes!but the oil companies are lobbying in all the ways they can because the whole financial system is built on pylons of oil. Sorry that they were killed. By XR? So sad. I wish them the best and ask the BBC or whatever for the right attention that it deserves. They must find a stunt, something that amazes people in the street(something ludic, funny surprising) and before you know, the camera is on you. It is really knocking now. There is no time left
I don't know why but every time Jem Bendell shows up on the screen for reasons I cannot grasp Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream flashes up in my mind.
Because the big sponsors that keep the papers being printed, don't want to be associated with those facts. And advertising brings a lot of money to the media. So the papers must emphasis the niceties. A happy future, economically. No problem if you mention the floods in Djibouti. But this will become hard for those enterprises. I read that the banks must 'promote" "motivate" green, or they can be in trouble.
As I was encouraging a focus on the financial system, I am pleased to see #MoneyRebellion But two years on from this interview, the need for fair adaptation to disruptions to our societies could be more clearly articulated by all of us
What he said about us as a species resonated with me unless we have common unity and caring for each other we just won't be a force for good. It means we must do the inner work discover our essence and potentials that come with that. The Quagmire of disfunction exists because most don't recognise the big political picture that we are inextricably linked to.
I have the same feeelings and have had for many years as an organic farmer. Been fighting a long time. Im very mad now and am acting, acting, encourage the young to use their brains for new tech, etc, etc. Getting everyone to plant a garden will help a lot!!!! Have brits get more hands in the dirt!! Just, today start recycling, every small thing, for big ideas can come from that. Stop looking at the economic system and give it another name, and ideas will flow for those who can get out of their heads and get their hands busy. Sharing in new physical activity, hands off line will help.All of Gretas kids are raw and ready to help build communitys that work for survival nearby. Now there is a reason to put down the phones get off our backsides and work together. You will see.
If we as consumers continue to support the banking system,then we are still party to the issues we are protesting against ,ultimately the banking system rules over everything ........ #exitbanks please make these changes yourself now today ,its ok heading out to direct action on protests and being seen but what you do day to day is where real change will come ,be like water gathering together we get ever stronger .
I'm in the States (they're no longer "united" so, I won't even go with that lie). It's frightening to see my fellow educators, who should know better, are willing to throw their lives to the risk of COVID, for the sake of a paycheck or an ever-elusive "retirement". Considering they're doing this at the behest of a diagnosed psychopath's re-election strategy and under the smug, hugely ignorant, scowl of one Betsy DeVos... just adds to my angst. I'm encouraging them to leave it, just go online and independent, and teach what's always been in their hearts to teach: things like home economics, gardening, and bugger the state's pieces of paper that label someone as "graduated" or this or that arbitrary designation. Best of luck to us all!
Our world has entered the dark heart of an age of fundamental change beyond anything in all of its tumultuous history. Its peoples ,of whatever race, nation or religion, are being challenged to subordinate all lesser loyalties and limiting identities to their oneness as citizens of a single planetary homeland. In the words of Baha"u'llah [ in the 1800s] "The well being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established. The Bahai faith have been building a new form of government since the 1800s to take over when the current systems collapse. This new way is built on spiritual principles unlike our current systems which were built on materialistic principles which was always doomed to fail
There are a millions of people, especially in the US, who would rather go to war than accept limits on their standard of living. This will not be a smooth transition. You mean I can't eat meat every day of the week, and buy that vacation house and order junk from amazon every single day and buy that new gas guzzling truck and the jet ski and the boat and the RV and the four kids and and and...
WE must democratically decide what jobs WE need and want people to do and then make it financially worthwhile for people (us) to share them and work LESS...WE wouldn't decide WE need to do fracking...WE wouldn't decide WE need to build HS2....you get the picture .....as it stands all the people who are doing all the jobs/work that destroys the planet won't stop because they need their jobs..but there can be no such thing as a shortage of jobs ...there can only be a shortage of people sharing the work WE actually need and want to have done and the stupidity of thinking people should all have to work around 40 hours a week.
Climate change is not solely “ the COST of money” although that is what ER may want you to believe. The planet’s history of climate change is seen in the ice cores extracted by scientists. The ice cores indicate that there have been 12 such events in the history of the planet with 5 of them bringing about mass extinction of life on the planet - the last event took about 95% of all life forms. As conditions yet again slowly changed life returned in its many forms. It’s a natural occurrence - the planet is in a constant state of flux. We as a society can reduce our emissions into the atmosphere and slow the process but we cannot stop it. Doesn’t the power of nature make one feel frail and inadequate - simply another life form. Cheers
People are just so good at making their own truths. "Wanting others to believe"; "they are from the other group, so they can only be wrong", "they will believe it, of course, It is not true". I understand this because of the malaise with Trump and other politicians. Just stay honest to yourself and explain what you mean. And the others may not judge as long as they haven't try to understand. The result of hurricanes and typhoons, the result of bad agriculture what leads to war, these are the real costs that will come. I see in Social Media. A lot of people work volunteering and even continue when they are severely ill as I notice. They take it to the heart. I think that I'm partly right. The costs of money if you mean that greed money causes those disasters yep right
I like this idea, we could gift our time with our loved ones rather than material things that threaten our world. Gift our knowledge to repair existing things, clothes, household appliances etc.
In other words, Dr. Bendell is telling people to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE U.K.! It's the same thing we've been telling people within the preparedness community for years: 65 million people stuffed onto an island the size of Louisiana, where only 60% of their food is produced.
I actually lived a bit of my childhood in country where wealth was distributed fairly between everybody. But also people were shot at borders, who wanted to leave, and often times there was no toilet paper or cloth, so another experiment with money system/government would rather pass and go through patient tuning of the system. Corporations can be psychopatic, but socialist like dimension of XR is probably reason, why so many people has problem with XR, because main focus is some kind of revolution, and ecology as the second priotity.. as also one of the XR founders pointed out recently.
So MmmMMMmmUUuuuUUCCCcccCCCHhhHHhhHH Sodding wool. SO bloody middle class, I have a degree in enviro sci. I would love to be (and have) protesting but so middle class so much just makes me want to slit my wrists.
I almost pity the middle class. ALMOST! he seems nice enough for a terminally boring guy with a high but not especially high intelligence and its almost like so many of them have spent so much time being so bloody bored and so insular that they look forwards to this - if only to get back to be bored and boring.
That's an option. Does it still exist, the classes in GB? They used in the industrial revolution and in the colonies. But it shouldn't exist anymore. We should respect each other. Every class is welcome! Isn't there already division enough?
'adapting fairly' is not going to happen. As long as the people in charge of such an adaptation are the same elites who have been running the country for centuries they will always lookout for themselves and their own (their wealthy corporate friends). Sooner or later people have to stop asking politely and seize power from them, by whatever means necessary. The jews who participated in the Warsaw ghetto uprising had a better survival rate than those who went along.

One thing I feel is missing from this very valid point is the evolving consciousness in which we 'swim'. The examples quoted here are historical and emotive; it's a trap to be caught in the vibrations and frequencies of those times. We now have so many ways of connecting vibrationally ( it' physics, innit - everything is vibrating, moving, therefore constantly changing) and it is possible for human beings to connect and share helpful vibes in support of change. Anyone can be reached. Music, song and sound are fine examples of this mechanism. Never lose hope, and if you've lost it just remember that it's ok to return to it. X
Fergus Ryan to quote Jem Bendell himself: “”hopelessness” is understandably feared but wrongly assumed to be entirely negative and to be avoided whatever the situation... however, the range of ancient wisdom traditions see a significant place for hopelessness and despair... the loss of a capability, loved one or a way of life, or a terminal diagnosis have all been reported, or personally experienced, as a trigger for a new way of perceiving self and world, with hopelessness being a necessary step in this process.” We must surrender hope to realise we have no option other than to fight back. Hope is what keeps us docile and compliant. Hope indicates a lack of agency. For example; I do not hope I will eat this evening. I’m just going to eat this evening. I do hope that on my way back from work I don’t get hit by a drunk driver, because that’s outside of my control. When you allow yourself to hope we can survive the climate collapse, you surrender your agency. Instead, surrender your hope and retain your agency. Then fight like your life depends on it, because it does.
Absolutely agree. Climate change is only one of a multitude of converging crisis. One thing that bothers me about XR is the assumption of an essential core of decency in the institutions running things. Living in the USA, it is painfully obvious that this assumption is erroneous. There is a good argument and substantial and innumerable proofs of the malice and utter psychopathy of our government, intelligence agencies, armed forces, corporate and financial institutions. I’m not going to say more. All this will become painfully obvious even to the most naive in fairly short order.
Adaption will be determined by the incumbent destroyers; the political class, bank-rolled by oligarchs, billionaires and a press hoodwinking the public.
Life is loss. This self inflicted extinction appears unstoppable, politics being what they are people or nations will exploit any advantage they have in securing control over the uncontrollable. It is our nature. We live and die here, all of us.
there is a video about it here m.ua-cam.com/video/6nXRk9-Y3NM/v-deo.html I don't think it's unfriendly...but friendly yet firm. if you are someone's friend you tell them the nessecary truth even if it's uncomfortable right? as long as you do it with concern and kindness
I do not dispute the climate situation, but these people should get real about workable solutions that would not cause economic collapse followed by anarchistic chaos. Let's have a workable roadmap, for the UK (and globally) that will have a positive effect, or is this movement's capacity limited to disruption and annoying other people. Perhaps if, as their leader Roger Hallam claims, they have general public support, they should try to get themselves elected at the upcoming general election.
Economic collapse is virtually unavoidable at this point it's a matter of weather we are proactive or reactive to the events brought on by climate change. Do we bring about this change ourselves, despite the difficulties, or do we adjust to change after being forced to deal with the devistating (possibly civilization collapsing) global realities of climate change?
@Donald McCarthy You are right. I do believe there are solutions to alleviating the problem. If extinction rebellion do not think there is a solution then why cause all the aggrevation!! For many I feel it is a way they can assert themselves... Roger Hallam included. We can do things. But we should not destroy industries and jobs without time to adjust. t is good to keep a perspective when thinking about blocking Heathrow Airport.. China has just opened Beijing Daxing Airport.. biggest in the world. And more to come. China produces 27% of greehouse gasses globally. The UK 1.2%.
I get what ur saying .. 1 XR is political party free, partly to b more inclusive 2 advocating citizen assemblies to create the plans cos gov/mps wont do it without it feeling imposed n things we need to do wont gain votes. It has to come from 'the people' like irelands' abortion law was sorted
@@kimwarburton8490 The abortion law was a simple yes/no. Tackling climate change needs some more perceptive and diverse imput. Not just disruption. What exactly does Roger Hallam think constitutes a real plan. Apart from disruption. Lets hear some realistic proposals.
Water vapor and fine soot from burning jet fuel that freeze and become visible behind airplanes. Some people (wrongly) believe they are some dangerous chemical that has a nefarious purpose.
I first thought that you were joining a penguin-colony. Continue speaking to the people. You're made for it!!!! People may not stay alone with their emotions, because this can be a time bomb. I agree with ER in all it represents. But people may not only be scared. Is everyone thinking about her/her carbon footprint(I don't ask people with already enough problems)? Everyone must do an effort!! A sacrifice of their daily habits. Again in Belgium, 2 right-winged parties have dominated the people and continue scaring people. The spread of cancer of hate. The political delegation of Radio-Television has 6 members. 3 are right-winged and want to use the media for propaganda. I had to cry when I read this. It's the worse that can happen and I'm still so sad inside, very sad. I even see different behaviour by the people We will protest in Brussels. I worked there too: 2400 people. Am I right that the truth is nowhere to find because of whatever media loses its sponsors by telling the truth? Those banks, insurances, big companies "do not want to belong to global warming". I wish I could change that. If the VRT goes on strike to protest, we must occupy national radio and television to help them. Is there a branch of RI in Belgium and other countries imprisoned by right-winged monsters? Thanks for the warmhearted walk, penguin.
I hope you do not become nationalists, what image his little Belgium? I WANT TO MOVE OUTI don't know what class I belong to. My biological mother was heroine-addicted, I was sick as a baby. I got adopted and I have worked to study , studied for work to be independent in a big family. My mother got exhausted. I have enough money so I can give it. My second father said that greed was a good thing. I was furious inside. And an NDE is quite personal, but it makes them(me) easier to know that other values are more important. Fossil-fuel-powered trains, HUH? Naughty, I have a Master Geography, OOps, the wrong class? I've seen such monsters, but it was old trains in an open-air museum. I collect stamps of GB I see all times editions of series of coal-driven trains (You know the romantic painter William Turner in the National Tate Gallery? That train is like a ghost! and it stays there on the same spot, even when it's driven by coals!! scary!! I have my Indian Continental Strand Hotel in The Strand, a street full of stamp collectors and close to a lot of import musea and I play piano, jazz in Soho. I always take my miaow-furry with me, just for fun. Last time she glued herself in a coach of the lounche of the Intercontinental Strand Palace Hotel on the other side of the street. Against fossil-fueled trains and stupidity! She's hot always nice to me.oops... She's hot but not .. ..to me...Can you speak a little french? Un chasseur sachant chasser sans son chien chassant est un bon chasseur. The members here would here have fun :)
@@goodoc8 check out worlds most polluted or dirtiest river, unreported world. hosted by reggie yates. or check out river of plastic, these are in Indonesia , no point our folk picking up 10 bottles a day
When UK "cleans its act", obviously it must either forbid ecological dumping (importation of stuff that is not produced ecologically) OR put enormous tariffs on such products or services. This will force all other countries who want to export stuff to go the ecological way too, if powerful nations like the UK only import ecological stuff. The effect will get even bigger if other powerful nations do it too. Anyway, importation & exportations must drastically diminish to save energy & resources...
The UK has outsourced a lot of it's emissions to China. China is the workshop of the World. Yes China is a top emitter, but it is also a top manufacturer. The problem is complex 🤷♀️
Lol, do you think they are having fun in Bagledesh or Africa with climate change. We have a global economy. The UK does not have enough land to grow enough food to feed it's population. What happens in the rest of the world will affect the UK.
Too much time on your hands Jem, stop scaremongering and do something worth while look at the staged filming. He will be on the 1st plane out for a nice holiday asap.
Oh do you propose free mud huts for us losers? Or will we as losers need to pay you to rent our mud huts? Will we have poo drying kilns to boil our seaweed?
Listening to this I think he lied to us, he's actually a professor of gobbledegook touting for some kind of position to gain power. We must not let him or others like him anywhere near the levers of power
I think talking about UK getting 60% of food imported and the need to grow more food locally can be a good point even for people thinking in current economic frame.
This is so important, and yes, it’s beautiful. “Given what’s to come” we have no choice but to re-learn how to interact with each other and the world around us. Thank you so much 💚
Peace and Love to all XR Buddhists (from a Unitarian). Jem Bendell is very impressive in his rationality and his humanity.
We need to forget our differences, gay black young old ......no infighting we need to direct our anger against the people who have created this and love each other
I really like this format it is really calming, I think it opens a different path to peoples attention.
glad you like this format. I am the one who filmed it!
Kiwiboii Supertramp I agree. Just hearing the birds and children playing in the background is what it’s all about. Caring for nature and the future of the kids.

Try the audiobook rant format. Its fun.
2 years and only 25,000 views proves it's already too late. Vast majorities simply ignore this problem.
Good sense and advice.
Thank you! ONE way to help beat this huge problem is for individuals to be encouraged to invent other ways to fly , etc. etc. I believe there are inventors in our world who with enough protection will come out of the woodwork with amazing solutions.

To switch from Jacob Rees-Mogg's standing ovation at the Conservative Party Conference to Bem, is like release from Bedlam to Paradise.
Top thinking. Thank you. Lets do it
I don't know why but every time Jem Bendell shows up on the screen for reasons I cannot grasp Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream flashes up in my mind.
This is a great video. Thank you.
The demos should be akin to those in Hong Kong.Massive amounts of people rejecting the status quo.
Why is there so little news media coverage of these Climate Action events.
Because the big sponsors that keep the papers being printed, don't want to be associated with those facts. And advertising brings a lot of money to the media. So the papers must emphasis the niceties. A happy future, economically. No problem if you mention the floods in Djibouti. But this will become hard for those enterprises. I read that the banks must 'promote" "motivate" green, or they can be in trouble.
As I was encouraging a focus on the financial system, I am pleased to see #MoneyRebellion
But two years on from this interview, the need for fair adaptation to disruptions to our societies could be more clearly articulated by all of us
Deepest THANK YOU prof. Bendell for sharing your insight, knowledge and wisdom. I was wondering what Buddhist festival were you at during that walk?
What he said about us as a species resonated with me unless we have common unity and caring for each other we just won't be a force for good. It means we must do the inner work discover our essence and potentials that come with that. The Quagmire of disfunction exists because most don't recognise the big political picture that we are inextricably linked to.
Very good format - not hectoring and lacking that daft pseudo-spirituality of too much XR stuff. Good thoughtful and practical stuff. Thanks!
This is the REAL NEWS.
My thoughts exactly Jem - until the power brokers are held to account by one and all little will change
The Buddhafield Festival is a wonderful thing. Go there, good people.

Do not go christmas shopping stop the cycle , if millions could just stop it would be a clear message besides the stage events.
I like this idea, we could gift our time with our loved ones rather than material things that threaten our world. Gift our knowledge to repair existing things, clothes, household appliances etc.
I stopped years ago. Shopping the malls. Amazon. All that.
I'm in another direction.
Finding that one simple thing that matters ...
Yup or just dont go shopping I dont buy anything but food but that's also easy when your broke lol
You are absolutely right!

I like the name :-) ,Gark. I do agree, but don't glue your tongue
What is your opinion on Chemtrails and Weather modification programs?
Are you blind or stupid or paid by ?
Jem, how do you get around the country? Do you walk, as you don't drive a car.
So MmmMMMmmUUuuuUUCCCcccCCCHhhHHhhHH Sodding wool. SO bloody middle class, I have a degree in enviro sci. I would love to be (and have) protesting but so middle class so much just makes me want to slit my wrists.

Fergus Ryan to quote Jem Bendell himself: “”hopelessness” is understandably feared but wrongly assumed to be entirely negative and to be avoided whatever the situation... however, the range of ancient wisdom traditions see a significant place for hopelessness and despair... the loss of a capability, loved one or a way of life, or a terminal diagnosis have all been reported, or personally experienced, as a trigger for a new way of perceiving self and world, with hopelessness being a necessary step in this process.”
We must surrender hope to realise we have no option other than to fight back. Hope is what keeps us docile and compliant.
Hope indicates a lack of agency. For example; I do not hope I will eat this evening. I’m just going to eat this evening. I do hope that on my way back from work I don’t get hit by a drunk driver, because that’s outside of my control. When you allow yourself to hope we can survive the climate collapse, you surrender your agency. Instead, surrender your hope and retain your agency. Then fight like your life depends on it, because it does.

Absolutely agree. Climate change is only one of a multitude of converging crisis. One thing that bothers me about XR is the assumption of an essential core of decency in the institutions running things. Living in the USA, it is painfully obvious that this assumption is erroneous. There is a good argument and substantial and innumerable proofs of the malice and utter psychopathy of our government, intelligence agencies, armed forces, corporate and financial institutions. I’m not going to say more. All this will become painfully obvious even to the most naive in fairly short order.
Adaption will be determined by the incumbent destroyers; the political class, bank-rolled by oligarchs, billionaires and a press hoodwinking the public.
Nut.
We also need people in advertising and public relations to get on board.
Unfortunately those careers are deeply tied into mass consumerism so it's unlikely many will want to disrupt the system.
@@nicci24 Everyone need to speak up. You can not hide from the Climate Crisis. It will impact everyone.
Life is loss. This self inflicted extinction appears unstoppable, politics being what they are people or nations will exploit any advantage they have in securing control over the uncontrollable.
It is our nature. We live and die here, all of us.
21:00 friendly visit to Greenpeace? Not what I heard!
Greenpeace, Buddhists, ER. All good people
there is a video about it here m.ua-cam.com/video/6nXRk9-Y3NM/v-deo.html I don't think it's unfriendly...but friendly yet firm. if you are someone's friend you tell them the nessecary truth even if it's uncomfortable right? as long as you do it with concern and kindness
Religion gets brought up after 2 minutes. That's quite telling.
I do not dispute the climate situation, but these people should get real about workable solutions that would not cause economic collapse followed by anarchistic chaos. Let's have a workable roadmap, for the UK (and globally) that will have a positive effect, or is this movement's capacity limited to disruption and annoying other people. Perhaps if, as their leader Roger Hallam claims, they have general public support, they should try to get themselves elected at the upcoming general election.
Economic collapse is virtually unavoidable at this point it's a matter of weather we are proactive or reactive to the events brought on by climate change. Do we bring about this change ourselves, despite the difficulties, or do we adjust to change after being forced to deal with the devistating (possibly civilization collapsing) global realities of climate change?
@Donald McCarthy You are right. I do believe there are solutions to alleviating the problem. If extinction rebellion do not think there is a solution then why cause all the aggrevation!! For many I feel it is a way they can assert themselves... Roger Hallam included.
We can do things. But we should not destroy industries and jobs without time to adjust. t is good to keep a perspective when thinking about blocking Heathrow Airport.. China has just opened Beijing Daxing Airport.. biggest in the world. And more to come. China produces 27% of greehouse gasses globally. The UK 1.2%.
I get what ur saying ..
1 XR is political party free, partly to b more inclusive
2 advocating citizen assemblies to create the plans cos gov/mps wont do it without it feeling imposed n things we need to do wont gain votes. It has to come from 'the people' like irelands' abortion law was sorted
@@kimwarburton8490 The abortion law was a simple yes/no. Tackling climate change needs some more perceptive and diverse imput. Not just disruption. What exactly does Roger Hallam think constitutes a real plan. Apart from disruption. Lets hear some realistic proposals.
Yes, this is normal way, how to change things in democracy. Citizen assemblies or sabotage doesn't seem to be good ideas.
What are "Chem trails" ? I have seen them but why are they there?
Water vapor and fine soot from burning jet fuel that freeze and become visible behind airplanes. Some people (wrongly) believe they are some dangerous chemical that has a nefarious purpose.
Target: monetary system needs growth...as a well posed Ponzi scheme . This predates nature.
I first thought that you were joining a penguin-colony. Continue speaking to the people. You're made for it!!!! People may not stay alone with their emotions, because this can be a time bomb. I agree with ER in all it represents. But people may not only be scared. Is everyone thinking about her/her carbon footprint(I don't ask people with already enough problems)? Everyone must do an effort!! A sacrifice of their daily habits. Again in Belgium, 2 right-winged parties have dominated the people and continue scaring people. The spread of cancer of hate. The political delegation of Radio-Television has 6 members. 3 are right-winged and want to use the media for propaganda. I had to cry when I read this. It's the worse that can happen and I'm still so sad inside, very sad. I even see different behaviour by the people We will protest in Brussels. I worked there too: 2400 people. Am I right that the truth is nowhere to find because of whatever media loses its sponsors by telling the truth? Those banks, insurances, big companies "do not want to belong to global warming". I wish I could change that. If the VRT goes on strike to protest, we must occupy national radio and television to help them. Is there a branch of RI in Belgium and other countries imprisoned by right-winged monsters? Thanks for the warmhearted walk, penguin.
I hope you do not become nationalists, what image his little Belgium? I WANT TO MOVE OUTI don't know what class I belong to. My biological mother was heroine-addicted, I was sick as a baby. I got adopted and I have worked to study , studied for work to be independent in a big family. My mother got exhausted. I have enough money so I can give it. My second father said that greed was a good thing. I was furious inside. And an NDE is quite personal, but it makes them(me) easier to know that other values are more important. Fossil-fuel-powered trains, HUH? Naughty, I have a Master Geography, OOps, the wrong class? I've seen such monsters, but it was old trains in an open-air museum. I collect stamps of GB I see all times editions of series of coal-driven trains (You know the romantic painter William Turner in the National Tate Gallery? That train is like a ghost! and it stays there on the same spot, even when it's driven by coals!! scary!! I have my Indian Continental Strand Hotel in The Strand, a street full of stamp collectors and close to a lot of import musea and I play piano, jazz in Soho. I always take my miaow-furry with me, just for fun. Last time she glued herself in a coach of the lounche of the Intercontinental Strand Palace Hotel on the other side of the street. Against fossil-fueled trains and stupidity! She's hot always nice to me.oops... She's hot but not .. ..to me...Can you speak a little french? Un chasseur sachant chasser sans son chien chassant est un bon chasseur. The members here would here have fun :)
so what happens if the uk cleans it act up but the rest of the world still carry's on as they are
people ask the same question here in Australia....no-one takes responsibility
@@goodoc8 check out worlds most polluted or dirtiest river, unreported world. hosted by reggie yates. or check out river of plastic, these are in Indonesia , no point our folk picking up 10 bottles a day
best i can do is top myself and save my carbon footprint@Bestoink Dooley
When UK "cleans its act", obviously it must either forbid ecological dumping (importation of stuff that is not produced ecologically) OR put enormous tariffs on such products or services. This will force all other countries who want to export stuff to go the ecological way too, if powerful nations like the UK only import ecological stuff. The effect will get even bigger if other powerful nations do it too. Anyway, importation & exportations must drastically diminish to save energy & resources...
The UK has outsourced a lot of it's emissions to China. China is the workshop of the World. Yes China is a top emitter, but it is also a top manufacturer. The problem is complex 🤷♀️
First world problems
Lol, do you think they are having fun in Bagledesh or Africa with climate change. We have a global economy. The UK does not have enough land to grow enough food to feed it's population. What happens in the rest of the world will affect the UK.
Too much time on your hands Jem, stop scaremongering and do something worth while look at the staged filming. He will be on the 1st plane out for a nice holiday asap.
Oh do you propose free mud huts for us losers? Or will we as losers need to pay you to rent our mud huts? Will we have poo drying kilns to boil our seaweed?
Food is an issue. UK does not have enough land to feed it's population.
