      Any government that allows the private sector to become an existential threat to humanity is not legitimate. It does not deserves the consent of the governed.
      Our government should be peacefully abolished and peacefully replaced with a government that will enforce the will of the majority. Ours does not and never will.
      If that sounds absurd, it is what the framers did in 1787, when they peacefully abolished the Articles of Confederation, and peacefully replaced them with our currently outdated and increasingly dangerous Constitution. Governments are established to secure our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When a government fails to do that, it must be replaced. The framers knew it, and it is as true now as it was then. We must organize peacefully to establish a more democratic government. One that cannot be captured by special interests.
      America is ranked 29th on the Global Democracy Index. For the strongest power on earth, that is unacceptable. WE can be the best, and the world now needs us to prove it.

Like nowadays, I see more electric vehicles than gasoline cars on the road. Before watching your video, I thought this is only about commercial or economical competition between US and China, but now I understand this is also about the well beings of all mankind.

    The same individuals who resist raising the minimum wage often seem to disregard the urgent threats we face from climate change. It's disheartening but not surprising. As a vegetarian since my teenage years in the early '90s, I've made a conscious effort to minimize my carbon footprint and advocate for renewable energy, particularly solar power. It's encouraging to see more people becoming aware of these issues. Let's take action before the greed of a few, many of whom live in literal castles endangers us all! Thank you to Bernie and to Bill for all off your work and Infinite Blessings to the movement!

    I taught energy crisis and climate change since the mid 1980s. We knew back then, the crisis would become critical in the early 2000s unless at the time (1980+-) we enacted a world-wide transfer away from fossil fuels and toward zero-emissions power.

      Any government that allows the private sector to become an existential threat to humanity is not legitimate. It does not deserves the consent of the governed.
      Our government should be peacefully abolished and peacefully replaced with a government that will enforce the will of the majority. Ours does not and never will.
      If that sounds absurd, it is what the framers did in 1787, when they peacefully abolished the Articles of Confederation, and peacefully replaced them with our currently outdated and increasingly dangerous Constitution. Governments are established to secure our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When a government fails to do that, it must be replaced. The framers knew it, and it is as true now as it was then. We must organize peacefully to establish a more democratic government. One that cannot be captured by special interests.
      America is ranked 29th on the Global Democracy Index. For the strongest power on earth, that is unacceptable. WE can be the best, and the world now needs us to prove it.

    We are newly “empty nesters” and members of ThirdAct. A huge sticking point I have been trying to expose for more than 30 years, when mass privatization of electrical grids was nearly complete, relates to just that;
    Electricity grids in the U. S. are now so largely controlled by private corporations and “equity,” that our fight is now primarily against big$ capitalists, on top of global warming and the climate change forthcoming. Thankfully, technology has essentially “caught up,” yet the big $ is now the larger foe.

    I've been living in a tent in Burlington for about 4 years. I can see a huge difference in just 4 years. Winters ate much warmer & this summer has been deadly for me as a cancer suffer already battling sepsis & dehydration. Burlington had very beautiful & mild summers. I never suffered heat stroke in Vermont before this year. It stayed hot & humid all night so my core temp didn't get a break to recoup. I was homeless in 120° Phoenix and had to call 911 for cardiac arrest almost weekly. I finally escaped to Prescott that also had record heat.
    Thank you Senator Sanders & Bill for educating us about this man-made catastrophe.

    For all of you who stand with Bernie and Mr. McKibben on this huge issue, don't wait for Big Fossil Fuel to change. WE need to "help" them change. Most plastics are LITERALLY petroleum and/or natural gas. We live in a supply & demand world economy. If a product doesn't sell, its production will cease. WE have to STOP buying plastic items and items packaged in plastic. WE have to let corporations know we want alternatives to plastic. WE have the power of our wallet! Use it! Educate yourself about plastic. It has many aliases, ie Spandex, polyester, nylon, dacron, microfiber, plush, Olefin, linoleum, acrylic to name a few. THINK. BEFORE. YOU. BUY.
    I rarely buy any groceries in plastic packaging. I buy meat wrapped in paper from butchers at the grocery stores. I only buy fruits/vegetables in bulk or in cans or glass, which can then be recycled. Read labels on clothes. When buying reusable bags, read the label. Don't buy a plastic reusable bag. Talk to store managers about selling cotten, jute or other natural fiber bags. WE have the power!

    Bernie, I have to be completely honest with you. I think we should be calling this *environmental problems* rather than climate change. When I was growing up and in college, it was always called environmental problems. We discussed acid rain, urban/suburban sprawl, air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, soil and groundwater contamination, beach erosion etc. We need to go back and present the information the way it deserves to be presented. Otherwise we're doing our ecology a huge disservice. I don't know if this is something that you could bring up with Congress, but we need a major overhaul when it comes to the way we do environmental marketing. I went for a Masters of Applied Science in Ecology and Natural Resource Management. There are no jobs in this if you want to work with people and conservation. It's only GIS mapping and data. I know Mr. Kibben suggested that environmentalists become electricians, but not everyone is comfortable working with electricity or being on a roof. I hope the environmental field can evolve properly. Maybe you can help our country to start off-grid environmental communities where we can grow our own fruits and vegetables while also solving the food crisis we're facing.

    I’m 100% on board with the scope of the problem. I’m also a professional electrical engineer retired from the electric industry. Renewables suck for many reasons, including in a major way reliability. I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying massive nuclear is absolutely essential. Fission.
    Second, we are definitely going over the waterfall. Meeting 1.5 is impossible even if all humans were gone and emissions were zero today.
    Third, if we instantly stopped all pollution, the absence of pollution aerosols would significantly speed up the rate of climate change.

And both Bernie Sanders and Bill McKibben don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk: they both drive EVs powered by sunshine on their roofs. People need to seriously commit to emulating their example and get rid of their tailpipes. Don't drink the Fossil-Fool Aid, earthlings!
