I want to make a difference. I want to help our future planet. Yet I am struggling to keep up with what I can do. I recycle, I’m mindful of my purchases but I do wonder, why are we when big business aren’t? It appears they are making token ‘attempts’ and holding us (the general population working to survive) accountable. Rude. BTW, love ya work Joe xx. Keep fighting the good fight mate. 🇦🇺
I'm sure many people share your thoughts! There are several ways you can push for changes bigger than individual actions: - Use your vote / right to protest - Contact local politicians to tell them what you care about - Switch your pension to divest from fossil fuels (said to be the most impactful individual action you can do) - Switch bank accounts too - Sign petitions Hope this helps even slightly, and know that you're not alone!
fellow aussie here and i totally feel you! it all feels so pointless and stacked against us. honestly, i think the only way we'll be able to force these massive corporations to change anything is by voting out the liberals and then pushing labor to take more drastic action. scomo was a total disgrace at COP26 recently, and the libs are nothing but awful every time they're in power. there'll be a federal election sometime in the next 6 months, so make sure you and those in your communities can make informed choices when the time comes.
You've got the right idea, at this point, individual actions will do very, very little in making any difference, we must hold leaders and corporations accountable. I don't know how, you know your country's situation better, but really really if we don't callout and force the biggest polluters to drastically change their ways, we will not be able to do much to reduce emissions. We can't afford a 2 degrees rise in temperature, so these big corporations and industries need to be stopped.
Check your investments. Is your superannuation ethical or green? What about your bank? Are they refusing to finance new coal mines, for example? Using less electricity, taking public transport etc they're still important, but we still need fuel and electricity, but investment really matters.
You can compensate your CO2 output at Shell petrol stations, but the compensation is laughably low. A couple of euros per ton of CO2 even though it actually costs more like 150 to capture that much.
hi! the term aspergers was named after a nazi who used the term to differentiate between "useful" and "high functioning" autistic people and the autistic people who couldn't funtion at a level that was useful for the nazis and would be killed and sterilised. Although it may be what you were diagnosed with, it's a harmful term that makes other autistic people feel dumb or broken.
The pressure to recycle and Lower your carbon footprint is ridiculous! It accounts for 1%!!! it’s the big companies that can make a big difference- but nobody is making them do anything.
Joe should do a story on delivery apps and how they treat their drivers. Less than minimum wage, constant pressure to be quicker with barely any money.

@@student8663 it does seem counter intuitive but they heat water hotter than a human can bear to put their hands in, it's a sealed system so less energy is need to keep it hot, and they use less water for an equivalent load because they pump the water through filters to keep it clean.

@@notAshildr So make a subtitle stream available for the whole video. Don't put English subtitles over someone speaking English just because they're a bit foreign. That is just patronising and rude.

just make alternative energies' cheaper and capitalism will take care of this issue for you; you can't limit production of energy until the alternatives are in place, just as economical, and sustainable.. Nobody wants to talk about ow there isn't enough resources on earth for everyone to own an electric car, there aren't enough power stations to produce the electricity, and the ones currently release more emissions to charge your car than it's gasoline cousin release, and the infrastructure of power transmission cables couldn't handle the loads at ALL. So what happens if an oil production site malfunctions and they didn't have the new locations to tap into.. You think there's an economy damaging shortage now, you have no idea how reckless this approach is. Pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Governments could just invest more money into alternatives and make it affordable. I'd wager if every major nation invested 5% of their GDP into this, they could have viable solutions within 2-3 years, but they don't. why? Because they don't want to admit while pandering for climate votes that the alternative sources aren't actually viable, and the grid isn't actually capable.
It’s also partly because the oil companies have their hands in the pockets of most governments, massive lobbying groups for oil and gas who essentially use their money to ensure viable alternatives are not given vast funding, lest they lose their stronghold on energy.
I'm not sure we should be relying on oil companies to just not sell oil anymore. Swap entirely to electric and produce all our energy with green tech, and we simply won't NEED to buy oil from them, whether they want us to or not.
How much does it take to produce wind farms? How easy is to recycle windmills? Can you recycle plastic/paper straws? How much CO2 you need to produce to make electric car battery? "Green energy" is a joke.
Sorta the point of windmills is that they last a very very long time so they don’t need to be recycled. The point is to use the resources we still have to make things that can last and continue to produce cleaner energy for as long as possible, rather than just continue to use up the limited resources we have right now and be left with nothing at the end of it. Electric cars are a difficult issue because you’re right about both production and disposal, hopefully there are scientists out there trying to come up with alternatives as we move toward the electric vehicle Renaissance, but they’re the only major alternative option to gasoline fuelled vehicles right now and apparently are slightly better for the environment overall so that’s our lot for now. If your solution to the undeniable fact that we’re heading towards both an irreversible pollution nightmare and total consumption of all the natural gas/oil fuel resources in the world is to say “green energy is a joke”, you’re trying to make yourself feel smarter without actually thinking at all. “Green energy” as it exists now might not be perfect or completely clean, but it’s certainly better than the alternative when you consider the future of the environment.
So the more and more people living everywhere in the world all types of housing so we’re just expected to ok with Inadequate means of power and cutting oil production people first world second
Fan Fact: Anyone who is concerned about the environment but still chooses to eat meat and animal products aren't actually concerned about the environment!
@@weebnation8923 Fun Fact: Factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight in plants before slaughter. So 7 times the oils and pesticides are used to create meat products than they are used to create plant based products. It also takes a swimming pool of water to make 27 hamburger patties. Kinda shot yourself in the foot with that fact.
@@weebnation8923 I'm not American, however even if I was judging me based on my nationality says a lot about your character. Whether the food we grow is meant for human consumption or animal consumption it requires the same about of oils and pesticides. Since factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight before slaughter, we're using 7 times the amount of oils and pesticides to create the same weight in meat as we do in plants. Congregate every factory farm on the planet into a single place and it would take up the space the size of Africa. If everyone on earth adopted a plant based diet then to provide the same amount of food to those people we'd only need 1/7th that space. The math is quite simple.
@@altoburger9692 you dont take into consideration that some people cant have just a plant based diet, hell humans arent meant for a fully plant based diet either, people have allergys or special food requirements that force them to have to not eat plants, what would they do? Veganism isnt meant for our bodies, we get nutrients from meat just like every other animal does, and before you say "this specific herbivore doesnt eat meat!" Guarentee they do/have, its been proven that when certain animals are low on nutrients they'll find the closest small animal/animal and eat it. there are certain ways of going about it however forcing the meat industry to stop when theres more pressing matters like the oil and plastic industry is kinda narrow minded
Whats the pot your plant was in made out of? What are your sunglasses made out of? What are your sneakers made out of? What's your shirt made out of? What's that cell phone you're using made out of? What are the cameras used to provide you your public voice made out of? What are the pots all your plants at home made out of? What's the zipper on your handbag made out of? What's the dash of your car made out of? What are the drain pipes in your home made out of? ... yeah. ... oil is bad... I mean... I really enjoy your comedy, but shell was pretty accurate: "ignorant lefty". That said, reducing oil use is GOOD... but eliminating its use is not gonna happen any time soon. I Do enjoy your work though! Thank you! :)
@@vffncl0 Fair enough. So where do ya draw the line, eh? JUST cars? Cars and trucks? Cars, trucks, bikes and hauler trucks? What about boats? ATV's? Snowmobiles? Is it ok to use for heating? What about energy production? Can I burn diesel in a generator to charge my electric car? What about burning diesel in a generator to power my mother's life support? (Hypothetically) Is plastic still ok? Respectfully, do you get my point?
@@vffncl0 I absolutely did. I'm guessing you're still not following me. If you stop drilling for more oil, you don't replenish the oil you've used up. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you're using it for cars or heat or to make new EV's - you still NEED oil to continue producing. What'cha think lubricates the factories that produce things like cell phones, Tesla cars, solar panels, wind turbines? Everything in our current world utilizes oil in SOME capacity. If ALL the vehicles on the road globally, immediately stopped using petroleum based products as a FUEL SOURCE, you'd STILL be tearing through obnoxious amounts of oil. So if you DON'T keep finding more sources, not only will you not have replenishment for the oil consumed, but the costs of any product that uses plastic (as an example) will skyrocket. We're literally experiencing this currently as one of the bigger governments holding the buying power for oil products has openly admitted to attempting to stop oil production. As a result, oil produces are doing everything they can to save their business before their business is literally legislated out-of-business. If I harvest mushrooms and the government says they're going to make mushrooms illegal in 5 years, do you think I would be investing in mushroom cleaning infrastructure? Would I be hiring more people to harvest mushrooms? Would I be taking out loans to expand my business? Or would I be shrinking my business, reducing staffing, reducing production and as the supply drops, I raise my prices as that's what the free market allows me to do, all the way up until the end where my business is essentially shuttered through restrictions, limitations and policy? Which seems more likely to you?
@@LuciferTJ Sigh. They're not trying to quit oil drilling. They just don't want *new* oil *fields* as we already have/get so much oil from the current ones that the environment will be irreversibly damaged (according to climate change people) by the time we've used it all up.
I don't really see the point. They delivered a house plant to reception. Sent an angry tweet. Got a corporate spin doctor response. Reminded us that oil is bad. At least their heart's in the right place, I suppose.
Probably wearing a mask because it’s better than doing absolutely nothing to try and prevent the spread of spit particles rather than “cause the government said so” but okay
You know that 'questioning authority' and automatically disagreeing with everything an authority says are different, right? It's pretty easy to go, 'huh, why do we have to wear a mask? Oh, it's because it's a physical barrier to stop the spread of an airborne disease while barely inconveniencing me at all.' That's questioning authority, and establishing that their advice was pretty reasonable. The government also tells you to wear a seatbelt, and sometimes they'll issue a 'boil water' notice. Believe it or not, they do want to keep you safe.
That statement is effectively "we're going to keep selling oil until we physically can't anymore while others come up with the alternative"
"also watch this ad, see how green we are, just don't bother looking any further"
The moment where they had to stop was literally 30 years ago. I wonder if you can sue shell for mass murder? Considering that our race faces certain extinction because of their actions. Thankfully i dont have kids..
so? actually Shell is pioneering work on Hydrogen as a fuel
Makes sense, otherwise society would simply collapse. We already know many of the alternatives, unfortunately we don't follow them.

I'd wager if every major nation invested 5% of their GDP into this, they could have viable solutions within 2-3 years, but they don't. why? Because they don't want to admit while pandering for climate votes that the alternative sources aren't actually viable, and the grid isn't actually capable.
It’s also partly because the oil companies have their hands in the pockets of most governments, massive lobbying groups for oil and gas who essentially use their money to ensure viable alternatives are not given vast funding, lest they lose their stronghold on energy.
The Second largest polluter is fast fashion. You present a fashion biased show - time to quit??
Or recycle old clothes and make the contestants use them.
Just say you dont like Joe Lycett and move the fuck on.
A fashion-based show that encourages people to make their own clothes from scratch? Okay
I'm not sure we should be relying on oil companies to just not sell oil anymore. Swap entirely to electric and produce all our energy with green tech, and we simply won't NEED to buy oil from them, whether they want us to or not.
it is still needed to produce many chemical intermediates. as well as coal

Is oil fossil, or mineral?

Today's consumption isn't built for people who will live in 147 years time
Shell, and all other companies still looking for oil, need to be stopped by any, and I do mean ANY, means necessary.
its a con
This is one of the best things Joe has done. Next, stop using the "c" word in your shows and we start to get along.
How much does it take to produce wind farms? How easy is to recycle windmills? Can you recycle plastic/paper straws? How much CO2 you need to produce to make electric car battery? "Green energy" is a joke.
What the fuck does “can you plastic straws” mean
Sorta the point of windmills is that they last a very very long time so they don’t need to be recycled. The point is to use the resources we still have to make things that can last and continue to produce cleaner energy for as long as possible, rather than just continue to use up the limited resources we have right now and be left with nothing at the end of it. Electric cars are a difficult issue because you’re right about both production and disposal, hopefully there are scientists out there trying to come up with alternatives as we move toward the electric vehicle Renaissance, but they’re the only major alternative option to gasoline fuelled vehicles right now and apparently are slightly better for the environment overall so that’s our lot for now. If your solution to the undeniable fact that we’re heading towards both an irreversible pollution nightmare and total consumption of all the natural gas/oil fuel resources in the world is to say “green energy is a joke”, you’re trying to make yourself feel smarter without actually thinking at all. “Green energy” as it exists now might not be perfect or completely clean, but it’s certainly better than the alternative when you consider the future of the environment.
So the more and more people living everywhere in the world all types of housing so we’re just expected to ok with Inadequate means of power and cutting oil production people first world second
Fan Fact: Anyone who is concerned about the environment but still chooses to eat meat and animal products aren't actually concerned about the environment!
Fun fact: farming plants uses technology that uses oil and pesticides :D
@@weebnation8923 Fun Fact: Factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight in plants before slaughter. So 7 times the oils and pesticides are used to create meat products than they are used to create plant based products. It also takes a swimming pool of water to make 27 hamburger patties.
Kinda shot yourself in the foot with that fact.
@@altoburger9692 fun fact farm animals eat parts of plants that arent digestiable for humans, are you american by any chance?
@@weebnation8923 I'm not American, however even if I was judging me based on my nationality says a lot about your character.
Whether the food we grow is meant for human consumption or animal consumption it requires the same about of oils and pesticides. Since factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight before slaughter, we're using 7 times the amount of oils and pesticides to create the same weight in meat as we do in plants. Congregate every factory farm on the planet into a single place and it would take up the space the size of Africa. If everyone on earth adopted a plant based diet then to provide the same amount of food to those people we'd only need 1/7th that space. The math is quite simple.
@@altoburger9692 you dont take into consideration that some people cant have just a plant based diet, hell humans arent meant for a fully plant based diet either, people have allergys or special food requirements that force them to have to not eat plants, what would they do? Veganism isnt meant for our bodies, we get nutrients from meat just like every other animal does, and before you say "this specific herbivore doesnt eat meat!" Guarentee they do/have, its been proven that when certain animals are low on nutrients they'll find the closest small animal/animal and eat it.
there are certain ways of going about it however forcing the meat industry to stop when theres more pressing matters like the oil and plastic industry is kinda narrow minded

I mean... I really enjoy your comedy, but shell was pretty accurate: "ignorant lefty".
That said, reducing oil use is GOOD... but eliminating its use is not gonna happen any time soon.
I Do enjoy your work though! Thank you! :)
nobody said anything about eliminating oil use completely
@@vffncl0 Fair enough.
So where do ya draw the line, eh?

Is it ok to use for heating?
What about energy production?
Can I burn diesel in a generator to charge my electric car? What about burning diesel in a generator to power my mother's life support? (Hypothetically)
Is plastic still ok?
Respectfully, do you get my point?
@@LuciferTJ Respectfully, did you even watch the video? lol. They want to restrict drilling new oil fields and use more renewable energy.
@@vffncl0 I absolutely did.
I'm guessing you're still not following me.
If you stop drilling for more oil, you don't replenish the oil you've used up.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you're using it for cars or heat or to make new EV's - you still NEED oil to continue producing.
What'cha think lubricates the factories that produce things like cell phones, Tesla cars, solar panels, wind turbines?
Everything in our current world utilizes oil in SOME capacity. If ALL the vehicles on the road globally, immediately stopped using petroleum based products as a FUEL SOURCE, you'd STILL be tearing through obnoxious amounts of oil.
So if you DON'T keep finding more sources, not only will you not have replenishment for the oil consumed, but the costs of any product that uses plastic (as an example) will skyrocket. We're literally experiencing this currently as one of the bigger governments holding the buying power for oil products has openly admitted to attempting to stop oil production. As a result, oil produces are doing everything they can to save their business before their business is literally legislated out-of-business.
If I harvest mushrooms and the government says they're going to make mushrooms illegal in 5 years, do you think I would be investing in mushroom cleaning infrastructure? Would I be hiring more people to harvest mushrooms? Would I be taking out loans to expand my business?
Or would I be shrinking my business, reducing staffing, reducing production and as the supply drops, I raise my prices as that's what the free market allows me to do, all the way up until the end where my business is essentially shuttered through restrictions, limitations and policy?
Which seems more likely to you?
@@LuciferTJ Sigh. They're not trying to quit oil drilling. They just don't want *new* oil *fields* as we already have/get so much oil from the current ones that the environment will be irreversibly damaged (according to climate change people) by the time we've used it all up.
fuel pumps did not run dry and if you dont know that then you dont deserve to be on a tv show
I don't really see the point. They delivered a house plant to reception. Sent an angry tweet. Got a corporate spin doctor response. Reminded us that oil is bad. At least their heart's in the right place, I suppose.

@@funkymerman92 😂
You know that 'questioning authority' and automatically disagreeing with everything an authority says are different, right? It's pretty easy to go, 'huh, why do we have to wear a mask? Oh, it's because it's a physical barrier to stop the spread of an airborne disease while barely inconveniencing me at all.' That's questioning authority, and establishing that their advice was pretty reasonable. The government also tells you to wear a seatbelt, and sometimes they'll issue a 'boil water' notice. Believe it or not, they do want to keep you safe.
