@@wadeinn463 ..l did lol when l read ur comment, ingesting is a much better high for sure and weed is legal here in Canada but as with so much in our world what seems like a greener idea is actually worse for the environment,at least scientifically l believe. l make edibles as well but the thing is to make a pound of THC butter or other oil before it goes into the edibles actually requires a lot of carbon producing emissions as well as factory farming, transportation and the use of an electric or gas oven for 1.5 hours time, 45 mins you debarb. the weed at 245 degrees F. then melt the butter and when that is done add the decarbed weed and simmer for another 45 mins and strain and let cool after which you most likely will store the butter or completed edible product in an electric fridge till its all finished. So all said and done would the burning of an ounce of weed leave as much carbon in the air as all the above steps do to make the edibles.

A lot of people are treating the issue with an appalling lack of responsibily. Local businesses shoving adverts of steak everywhere, consumerism being the centre of peoples little world, they couldn't care less about the children, the animals, the planet.
They could have been doing something about climate change in the 80's. Instead funding for research into alternative technology was cut, the bus services were deregulated and train fares went up faster than inflations with less frequent train services. Thatcher declared that anybody travelling by bus over the age of 30 was a failure even if they owned a car.
Beef is one of the major causes of climate change because: 1. Trees and plants are cleared for cattle and cattle feed, 2. Cows emit methane gas which is a greenhouse gas and 3. Resources are used growing cows which could be put to better use growing the same number of calories in plant food without the same impact on the environment. A good example is that the fires in the Amazon are started because cattle farmers want to clear the land to breed more cows and cattle feed. The consumer demand for beef is directly responsible for that.
@@robertpacker2250 Steak is the best source of nutrients a human can have. Red meat and saturated fats are healthy and it is because we learned how to cook is the reason why Homo Sapien is still around now. It is a lie that red meats are bad for you. Heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure is going up and up even though we have moved away from eating meats to processed foods massively. If your body is used to burning fats for energy like mine is (all my family were butchers) then I burn off the saturated fats. If your body is used to burning off sugars (most people in the world) then your body stores the fats and you just become a fat bastard. All my family eat red meat every week and none of us are overweight. We are also strong and healthy with no diseases associated with saturated fats. Sugar companies are selling more and more each yr and processed foods are dominating the whole food market yet the people eating more of these foods are getting much worse with diabetes, blood pressure and heart disease ect. The problem is the foods are terrible from a nutrient point of view. There are still hunter gatherers today and they eat like we did thousands of yrs ago and they don't even have words in their languages for diabetes and obesity ect....They like me are fit strong and healthy because they have red meats as their primary source of nutrition!! Now there is talk of making red meats illegal which is ridiculous and a terrible thing to do. Chicken and other white meats are no where near as nutritious as red meats are and people who are vegetarian or worse vegan are literally starving their bodies of what it needs. Some people have actually died because of this and blood tests show almost all vegans are severely lacking from many elements and vitamins the body needs. You can survive as a vegan but your body needs to have pills to take to keep up levels so you don't develop serious conditions that can cause fatal illnesses.
@@MICKEYISLOWD A food education campaign at every level could be developed and implemented, teaching people how to follow a vegan diet safely. Just as we all grew up learning that there is breakfast, lunch and dinner, people can grow up learning how to follow a vegan food plan. Recipes, cook books, celebrity chefs, restaurants, stores, gardening experts, farmers, etc, can support healthy, safe, tasty vegan food plans.
Advertising burgers and all meat variants etc needs to banned in mainstream media (along with tobacco and alcohol). The Amazonian farmers are burning forests so they can grow beef or soy (to feed to animals) for export back to Europe.
How much fossil fuel is used to build onesolar panel or one wind turbine? Trojan horse! You use less fossil fuel by not using solar or not building a wind turbine. Drive into southern caliberalfornia and you'll see hundreds of them standing idle because of the prohibitive maintenance costs.
@@gortklaatu4476 It depends where you build it, and the grid intensity of that place. Panels and turbines built in France, Norway, Costa Rica and Paraguay will have very low embodied carbon. Panels and turbines built in China are an order of magnitude worse. However they still pay back those emissions after 6 months for a turbine and 2 years for a panel. They have an EROEI of at least 20, which is fine, and improving steadily as manufacturing gets more efficient and grid intensity is reduced. Eventually the whole system will be decarbonised.
Civilization is a heat engine by definition. Regardless of how you contrive to power it. We already have reached 1.8 degrees C above baseline and that appears to have triggered dozens of self reinforcing positive side loops such as the methane release from the melting permafrost. There is ample evidence that the 6th great extinction event is well underway with more than 150 species disappearing daily. DAILY! And I haven't yet seen solar dimming discussed in a comment thread of the "Extinction Rebellion". The really bad news if all that doesn't suffice, is that in the past ten years we have pumped more GHG's into the atmosphere than the whole total up until that time and we haven't seen that effect yet, but it's in the pipeline baked into our problem which will soon be much worse. Can you say exponential? Jus' tryna keep it real here.
@@gortklaatu4476 Surely you can see further than this intellectually? Renewable energy uses fossil fuels to produce because we are in a fossil fuel based system. The solar panel production process could be powered by renewables, solely. Sigh....
If you want zero emissions then how will you eat..? No transport and you will be dead in 1 month from starvation fool. The absolute truth is we needed to start all this in 1990 when the science was settled and even then the effort would have to be global with every person working to build the new infrastructures to maintain the bare minimum for survival and then rebuild all our cities for carbon neutral living. Today we can build homes that use very low energy even through winter but to start now would take 30 yrs minimum but the thing is we are truly out of time. 30 yrs ago we could of scraped through and rebuilt but now its out of time. Even if we stopped all emissions now the Earth will blow past 2 degrees and get to 3 degrees. Then most of the land producing food will not be fit for production. Populations growing faster with water and food about to crash. We are doomed and it is not our fault because we have been lied to and the facts were never told from the energy companies who knew full well this would happen. They did their own investigations 30 yrs ago and never told anyone. These people should be found out and then they should be named in public and the public should have them put in Jail for the rest of their lives or put to death because they have allowed billions of people to die in agony. The average good person when finding out this truth would spend the rest of their lives getting the truth out to protect everyone else but they did not do this...they kept quiet and enjoyed the vast amounts of money they made. I only hope they are put on trial before our whole civilisation collapses.
Many people around the world don't have or read the internet, so the key message will never reach them. Further, many people lack the level of education needed to understand the issues involved. Therefore even if they read the message, they will ask for an explanation and if the explanation isn't believed, they won't follow the message.
neverlostforwords this is true but many indigenous people have been sending us this message for decades, in developing countries they are already seeing the results of our destructive habits. It's the countries who are in the thrall of capitalism/chasing wealth at all costs who are uneducated in this and keep perpetuating the destruction. Education has traditionally been provided by governments, who have a vested interested in making sure that people are kept ignorant of the truth

60% increase in emissions since 1990. Carbon emissions already reached 415 ppm this year, by the time you factor in methane and other greenhouse gases plus black carbon we are already over 500 ppm CO2 equivalent. The UN Special Report 1.5 degree Celsius mentioned a need for 45% reduction in emissions by 2030 based on 2010 level. Many of the feedbacks are not even included in the Special Report which means the advice should be even stronger.
Which feedbacks are missing? I'll give you permafrost soil carbon and ice cliff collapse rates (both properly quantified/modelled in very new science). But in general nearly all relevant feedbacks are indeed included. The special report should in fact be pretty accurate.
@@xxwookey Go here, page 5, Climate Stabilisation paragraph: www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/WG1AR5_Chapter12_FINAL.pdf I am not sure how much of this data overlaps with UN special report, but as IPPC puts it: you get different budgets including or not including tipping points like permafrost. You must also take into account that most "optimistic" scenarios assumes the negative carbon emissions technology to be ready for large scale deployment. It's still sci-fy,
Nitrous Oxide is also coming out of the melting permafrost in Alaska. It heats the atmosphere 300 times more than CO2. This was discovered in a study Harvard did in 2018.

@@LukeFlegg Hi Luke... I agree strongly... I am VERY interested in following up on the "Sensitivity" study Roger mentions... that projects 5C by 2050. Any leads would be appreciated.
Is the move toward zero carbon done at the individual level or just on the larger scale? I think most people believe that, for the sake of their comfort, convenience, and pleasure, we must do it almost exclusively on a large scale. That is because most of us think we cannot use LESS energy, but that we have to REPLACE the current level of carbon based energy with clean energy. That is all well and good, but I rarely hear anything about how to simplify and use less as we transition to clean energy. Here are some things almost all of us can do: 1) Go Vegan. 2) Grow veggies and fruits for food. There are a lot of YT videos about organic gardening. We can get great food and exercise through gardening with hand tools only... no machinery. Even with plants in HDPE containers we can get herbs and leafy greens to eat. 3) Cycling for transportation. This is done in some cities much more than others... Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Portland, OR, others. With more cyclists, city governments will provide more and safer designated bike paths. We must outlaw carbon emissions with "all deliberate speed". But in the meantime (and beyond) we should take the opportunity to reconnect with the only planet that will EVER sustain our lives.
Why do u think they have built all those underground cities, they have know this for years. I agree with this assessment about the changes on Mother Earth.
I support them and I am a member. That being said, I am also study history and sociology. In that vein, I am VERY pessimistic that things are going to change in time. We must change if we have any hope for any type of living civilizations. I do believe that things are going to get very, very bad for humans regardless of our actions now. However, Roger is educated in movements and how people force change. That being said, he is not up against something simple like civil rights, the right for women to vote, or British rule over India. Yes, those are simple things compared to changing the ways of an entire planet in 11 years, and counting, by going up against the wealth and power attained in 200 years by the 1st world countries. I will fight but I am fighting for basic survival, not for utopia.

Some of the comments here don't take into account that we're already seeing tipping points...when the Amazonian rainforest catches fire (as it is in some places right now), when permanent ice disappears into the ocean (as it is now), when places above the arctic circle experience forest fires (as they are now), when the Gulf Stream stops consistently delivering milder and stable weather to the British Isles (as is happening now), when the jet stream is erratically feeding warm weather to places that should be experiencing winter and snow to places that rarely experience it (as it has been doing)...these are not scare tactics, scaremongering, this is pointing out the reality of what is going on around us, telling the truth, highlighting the evidence. Go forward with your eyes open or not, your choice, but as and when the collapse starts, you might just wish you'd pressed your government and local authority into focussing on giving us some protection from the chaos coming down the road. We may or may not be able to reduce the worst effects but surely we ought to be trying...
grindupBaker you are right, it seems. It's incredible that people chasing money are continuing to push us towards the edge. What value will that man made wealth have, when their house of cards comes down. Thanks for pointing this out.
Donald McCarthy I believe it does. I understand that as temperatures increase, the water will stop cycling through the rainforest in the way it does and will evaporate away from its source, making it more susceptible to combustion, at which point it will stop being a carbon sink and become a carbon producer.

For me the real issue is out of all the people who die from climate change, won't (@first) be the rich cnuts (swap the n&u around) who 'capitalised' on everyone else.
I was reading all about this 3 yrs ago and thought nobody will ever take notice until the effects are killing people. I'm so happy that I was wrong and there is only one way this will go now and that is it will be mainstream news in just the next few yrs. Scientists have known about this for a very long time however they have ruined their careers when they tried to report on this in a big way. Those who tried I love you but all scientists should have the freedom to say what they find without having their works destroyed form elite wankers who wanted all this to be kept hidden for as long as possible. Can we save everyone?...well NO! Who will be saved...? The elites of course. They are already buying up land in New Zealand to build underground bunker mansions because they know when the cat is out of the bag and the people demand who kept this hidden from them for the last 30-50 yrs their names will be public enemy NO1...This is why they are now preparing as cowards to conceal themselves. New Zealand has banned anyone else for buying up land and they should take back the land they have already sold to these bastards.
But, what is the solution to energy needs in *just* the UK, let alone the rest of the world? The efforts made by Extinction Rebellion are exemplary, yet we need the solutions after the rebellion to attempt to save the planet. For the UK, should it involve both nuclear and renewables? - we need to rapidly replace the 40% of energy derived from gas (and coal to a lesser extent - we're almost there with that, only 3%) within 6 years to meet your target. It's estimated that 30,000 wind turbines would be required to match the output of a reactor like Hinkley point C. It seems to me that the best option to start with is to keep the reactors going whilst we replace gas - which would require hundreds of thousands of turbines. It's certainly do-able, with the right will and effort - and by completely scrapping planning regulations. Sorry Nimbys, it will have to be in your back yard. Live with it. Whichever way you look at it, in order to achieve close to zero carbon emissions, we are going to require nuclear in the energy mix for decades. Then we get onto the transport changes that are required to reach that carbon emission target. How do you replace 40 million vehicles in 6 years? Arguably, you don't - you replace half of that with electric vehicles and convince 20 million owners to ditch their cars in favour of cycling and public transport. That's a massive ask. However, it could be achievable with other efforts - how many office workers don't actually have to be at the office to get their work done? Surely millions could work from home at least 50% of the time and commute by bicycle and/or public transport the rest? What about a 4 day working week for those sectors that could feasibly change to these hours? Could we cut the total amount of vehicles by 75% and those remaining would be electric, recharged from renewables (and nuclear)? It will then become apparent that the draw on an entirely renewable energy grid, to charge these vehicles, would necessitate more energy creation. We would be replacing liquid fossil fuel energy with energy from the grid. I've no idea what the maths behind this would be in terms of required power, but it won't be trivial. Then we get onto energy usage in the home, namely, gas. What is the cost of replacing gas heating and cooking in millions of british homes? Who would foot the bill to convert all these houses to electricity sourced from renewables (and nuclear) ? - in just six years? People need to keep warm in the winter - play this the wrong way and there's either going to be an awful lot of wood being burned and/or an unsustainable draw on the national grid. If we get this right and do manage to cut our emissions to nearly zero in six years, what guarantee do we have that other countries will do the same? Lets say they do, how do we handle global dimming? We may have to use technology to attempt to combat this for as much as a century, should we manage to cut emissions to keep us under 2c warming. I think 2025 is impossible to achieve, but the urgency is such that we should attempt it to see how far we can get. It may, in the end, come down to extreme draconian measures - energy rationing, more social sharing of spaces and homes, a complete dietary change, a complete change in the way we work, commute, go on holiday. A starting point that isn't so draconian, is to rid this world of trivial trinkets - of crap that lines the shelves of every supermarket in every country. Get rid of the stuff we do not need as humans first and foremost. The economic knock-on impact of doing this will be dramatic - but it should be amongst the first things to be done. It is the least impactful overall socially, despite the loss of jobs globally. We do not need probably 90% of the shit we own or covet. The second least draconian thing is to stop eating meat and fish, planet wide - or at least, in developed nations to start with. We owe it to the developing world for them to catch up. They should not have to suffer more. The economic knock-on impact from this would be astronomical - but the effort from meat production could be channelled into sustainable crop production to lessen that impact. Fast food outlets that sell meat can go do one or switch to vegetable fast food. And that *does not mean imitating meat !!!* (get over it already) It is said that we need a movement as big as that put into motion in WWII. I beg to differ, it needs to be a far bigger change than that was - a life changing experience for every single inhabitant of the planet. Actually, let me rephrase that, because it is massively unfair. A life changing experience for the fortunate people in the developed countries on this planet. Close to a billion people are already living within the carbon footprint that the rest of us need to work within.

@Pool Bal He did, but admitted he may be wrong on the timescale. He predicted this based on evidence from many scientists. Most of this evidence is the danger of feedback loops, notably, the loss of sea ice in the northern hemisphere summer and also the related melting permafrost / artic shelf potential massive methane gas emissions. The theory is, if the artic sea ice is all but gone in summer, it will precipitate a collapse in grain crops globally as temperatures rise dramatically over a very short period - not to mention the added risk of further temperature increases from methane emissions - and also the resulting calamity from a climate completely under breakdown. Those areas that could grow grain at lower temperatures in the Northern hemisphere, will likely be inundated with massive storms, floods and also unusually unseasonal weather - not just heat, but also cold. Also, many far Northern climes are not geared up to grow grain at scale in short order - the soils aren't right, the infrastructure isn't there - you can't just pluck up billions of hectares of grain crops and move them a thousand miles north. The sad thing is, rewind a hundred years or more, people would've been more adept at surviving in the Northern hemisphere, at subsistence levels. It was the norm to 'grow your own', to have hens and some livestock. Now we face a 'Just In Time' economy, with very little storage of produce - it really is a perfect storm. Hardly anyone has a clue how to survive without this economy, how to grow their own food, how to tend to livestock. Heck, hardly anyone knows how to cook anymore and to store seasonal produce by preserving it. If we did, there may be an outside chance of a slightly less dismal outcome when grain crops fail worldwide. Effectively, most of humanity will starve to death over the course of a few years and probably many will die due to violence or attempted migration across oceans and land. The first countries to experience the full force of massive food shortages will be those least able to cope with it - resulting in a wave of migration in the countless millions. Those 'fortunate' countries that have at least some food storage - a lot of it in people's homes, some of it in warehouses - will limp on for a little longer, until social collapse occurs as the food runs out and as waves of migrants are knocking on the door. Because of the 'Just in time' economy, food is no longer stored at the scale it once was. Even if it was, it's difficult to store grain for longer than a year. Imagine a situation where you have been savvy enough to store food and water to last, say, a year - you better be prepared to protect that food, because with 100% certainty, when the food in the shops has gone and people are starving, there's going to be some very very nasty conflict. Some may hold out for a few more years in far northern latitudes - and indeed, in all but the most dire predictions of the extinction of 95% plus of life - may actually survive and become the future for humanity. It won't be very pleasant though. So, back to McPherson - his timescale may be right out there in terms of dire predictions, but if we carry on, it's going to happen anyway, whether that's in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years. He also believes, like some scientist do, that it's too late and on the very direst end of the world scenarios, he believes we will take out up to 95% of life on the planet along with us. We have already 'baked in' temperatures well exceeding 2c without considering feedback loops - it doesn't matter what we do now, we're going over 2c and probably to 3c regardless. Then we get to the issue of global dimming - cut back emissions too quickly and we lose the reflective and thus cooling effect of water vapour mixed up with - well, soot for want of a better word. The balance is so incredibly delicate, that not only would we need to curb carbon emissions, but would also need to do it in such a way that we don't just end up heating the planet even more in the process. Fun times, eh? So where is the hope? Well, the hope is we can act in time to prevent the worst of the feedback loops. We can't prevent a rise to 2c and over, but we may be able to stem the tide and keep under 3c - as we have no other alternative anyway, we may as well do something, right? Even at 2c we're up shit creek big time, but at 3c and over, we're probably looking at 50% to 80% of the human race not making it. We also don't know what other feedback loops there may be, 'waiting in the wings'. Humanity has the science to know for sure we're in trouble, but we don't have the science to know exactly what will happen nor how to prevent it, short of cutting emissions almost completely and planting trees on an almost biblical scale. Despite this, it's business as usual across the globe. The vast majority of people are either in denial or don't want to know. It's hard to blame them, but it's not hard to blame those who DO know what is coming and have the power to attempt to stop it. Fossil fuel companies have known for decades the risks we faced, yet did nothing - in fact, they did far worse, they continued to increase activity in the sector. Scientists have been silenced or paid off. Many have been fearful for their reputations. There's been a concerted efforts from the elite that want to keep the status quo, to actively sow doubt and denial. The media have been silent for decades - true journalism is all but dead and buried, under a bombardment of false information, available to consume in seconds.
I find it extremely difficult if not impossible to connect with other human beings. My explanation is that most people are unconscious and act emotionally rather than seeing the truth/reality and act wisely accordingly. All people want the good life but do a whole lot if not everything against it. They smoke, waste, pollute, etc. etc. more than necessary to live a good life. They just don't care. 😢 How can we change that?
Yes...and we have never worked together because we have always had wonderful things like religion, politics, the media etc etc to keep us divided and fighting each other instead of fighting them.....aaaaaand nothing has changed.....aaaaand nothing will.
1:49 “When the CO2 parts per million goes up to 560, which is in 20 or 30 years time, it’s going to be 5 degrees locked in.” Yeah...that's kinda really important information.
If we want to change things then we have to create not just a climate movement but a new economic movement of creative destruction. The way we build new houses, making current housing stock more efficient. Urban farms and large farms to grow things like hemp for the canopy to stop evaporation, weed control and to use in construction with 3d printing. Plant fruit and nut trees in our parks and pavements. Using the very latest of tech to harness the very best of nature. The currency we use and the access to world class legal and accounting representation. Our productivity needs to start being more localised and interlectual property globalised reducing much of the intermediaries within the supply chains that add to carbon emissions. Government are not going to save us they are to fixated on a flawed economic system of perpetual growth despite global GDP being in continuous decline globally with a few exceptions.
Really? could you please review your plan a little bit for 2020. because in I spend half 2019, was force / choice to give on other project. I spend all my energy to help, but how do i get the resources to live my life ?
The feeling I get from all I have heard and read so far is that everyone wants to do something, but nobody knows where to start. We painted ourselves into a terrible corner by becoming so dependent on fossil fuels. As far as I know, nobody has come up with a plan to change our lives.
There are lots of plans. What is appropriate depends on your circumstances. Quora.com has many good answers for example. Here's a couple of mine: www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-ways-to-reduce-carbon-footprint-next-to-eating-less-meat/answer/Wookey www.quora.com/How-difficult-would-it-be-for-Americans-and-people-in-other-developed-countries-to-change-their-lifestyles-so-as-to-consume-less-energy/answer/Wookey Here is one that includes societal change as well as personal change: www.quora.com/What-are-the-top-five-things-that-I-can-do-in-order-to-minimize-global-warming/answer/Wookey There is really is no shortage of things to be fixing, once you've worked out that this matters to you.
US EXTINCT!!! I’ll tell you how WE ARE going to be extinct. The Amazon rainforest is the lung of the world and as long as there is non-vegans existing they will continue burning the rain forest AND WE ALL GOING TO DIE FOR SURE!!! Because it’s all because of MEETING THE DEMANDS of EVERYONE that wants to eat the animals the they keep burning the forest!!! So environmentalist need to WAKE THE FUCK UP TOO 😤
Can't help but to comment as I was an environmental student at college, mostly all science and climate change is like an equilibrium shift in a chemical titration, kind of hard to reverse the endpoint, just saying , if we are to believe climate change, doesn't mean we can change it. An unparalleled social challenge indeed, and yes that will fail probably. Some very intelligent professional people have told me point blank that they think climate change is bunk and would never have any plans of joining a work together effort, oh no not them, yeah, that's what your faced with. Looks like Hell is on its way, again I'm glad I'm old and may not have to see these days, it's disturbing enough knowing
How do you respond with indigenous groups. I'm in XR Canada and I've experienced indigenous people wanting to control the movement, not working with the consensus, as they say white people are settlers on their land. And pretty much everyone goes along with this so the actions get steered to their concerns and say from climate.
XR including Roger and Rupert Read etc load up all these video clips and hope we all view them and get behind them but never reply or comment on our responses, what are you advising we should do ?, you keep explaining we are doomed unless act now.....so where should we all start, any reply from XR ?
Most XR activity happens in a decentralised way, in person, on a local community basis. So get involved with your nearest[1] XR group, go to meetings, and things will fall into place. (If there's nothing in your home town, contact the nearest XR group anyway - they'll have advice.) If you're involved with organisations besides XR, maybe consider ways to encourage them to collaborate on shared goals (...e.g., where I am, we often team up with other environmental and social groups to support each other's events). [1] rebellion.earth/act-now/local-groups/ BTW, I'm not a spokesperson for this channel - just a random XR supporter :)
This is the very early stages of a paradigm shift, we will change, we will adapt, we are evolving just at a slower pace because we have not been clever, we gave ground to tyrants dictators & compulsive liars who used plagerism as a tool to steel creative ideas & rearrange the message to confuse & convince the populace who really did believe the deception that nearly wrote of a planet, so its still the truth, we didn't know things would get this bad but that feeling was felt all round, everyone is involved & has to take responsibility at some level, everyone can prevail. This planet is 1st priority but our ambition must match, an whole hearted effort is required.
@grindupBaker -- after a bit of research, it turns out much of what Roger claims can be inferred from the 2019 World Meteorological Organization "Statement on the State of the Climate in 2018." The report explicitly states that 3C is no longer very likely and 5C is increasingly more likely, since the 3C projection assumed the countries affirming the 2015 Paris Agreement would follow through on their action commitments, which they have not. Human morbidity and mortality rates under the assumption of an additional 4C of global warming emerging by 2100 are the hard parts to ascertain ... the medical scientific studies and projections may have been done, but they either have not been released public media yet, or they are very difficult to find. The 20-30 year to 5C that Roger predicts is plausible -- e.g., scientists predicted thermafrost thaw with concomitant methane release wouldn't happen until 2090, but in fact if has already begun, 71 years earlier than predicted. Feedback loops are being triggered and tipping points are being passed through faster than we can keep track, and our instruments for trying to are aging and failing. So IMHO the sorts of causes you point to and the statistical relations between them are increasingly tenuous guesses -- especially in terms of timescales. I think the bottom line is that hell on Earth is coming and we have no idea exactly when and are mainly clueless as to what we will suffer. We only know it's going to be hell. library.wmo.int/doc_num.php?explnum_id=5789
The oceans are rising and we should the extra water to end climate change, hunger, thirst, and wars for food, water, and fuel. Desalination and Water pipelines instead of Oil pipelines.
Standing strong is the only way. Now is the time to break our mold as social creatures ruled by forces generated in a commodity producing societies. The root of the problem are the societies that perpetually produce commodities for their value and of the use-values they produce are all built to that end. So that a typical stick home construction is only use-ful to certain industries as a means of consuming electricity, water, gas and oil. A job is not the only way to obtain the utilities for your home if your home can produce its own light, heat and clean water and our present level of science permits. These are the commodities nations fight over and the industries climate change activists want to abolish are peripheral industries to the home industry. The change should happen in the home market and spreading from there. To produce homes whose use-fulness is their ability to manufacture light, water, heat and food is a revolutionizing act climate change activists should consider. To get this done on a mass scale is historic of the end of the carbon based economy of commodity producing societies.
Lets create the social media platform that is designed to help us work together - find best solutions as they become available - Find a group that needs our participation - find people to start a project with - contribute to existing projects (emotional, mental or physical labor and financially) - create information tools to understand complex problems If people are on social media lets create REAL change ON social media. If we give people a way to contribute as they are and give them the tools to come together we will have massive change more rapidly than anyone can imagine People just need hope and tools, we can turn it ALL around, rapidly
Part of what is happening in terms of loss of primeval forest in Borneo, Sumatra, Amazon, Nigeria, Republic of Congo is due to the increasing market of China - consumer and product manufacturing. In Brazil and Africa, there more and more acquisition of land to production of mono cultures and sustain the Chinese growth, and source materials to make everything that is being manufactured there, while the main development countries are buying almost everything made in China. And there's also the issue of buying products that have ecological labels, but that are being sold in plastic packaging. Paper with certification is being sold from exactly that forests that are now being taken down to put eucalyptus in their place, while we in Europe are buying that paper to write, inside of furniture we are buying, and even to clean our own sh*t.
"Maybe we need to reduce animal agriculture because of the emitions from that side " ~ Roger Hallam It's not just the huge portion of emitions though is it Roger ? Animal agriculture is using up 1/3 of the earth's land that we could be using to sequester carbon . Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation and species extinction world wide and it will soon be the death of our oceans . Animal products are completely unnecessary in our civilisation , so yes we need to reduce our consumption , starting with those who care ,not eating any animal products at all . It's very simple . You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem . Stop dragging your heals and go vegan today .
@@isupportthecurrentthing.1514 He gets it alright. Why do you think vegan campaigns have failed in the past? Because many just aren't there yet and many just don't care. The issues we are now all facing are entirely next level protests and everyone does need to be on board for them. Its important at this point not to exclude anyone at all as the point is to get everyone round the climate emergency table to look at the science. Make space, make time, be creative, be kind.
O right, just tell everyone to go vegan. Do you even understand what that means? Would you tell a hunter-gatherer in the Amazon they are part of the prroblem because they eat meat? Would you tell them to only eat plants? They would trow you in the local pool i think. or shoot an arrow up your butt. They would teach you tofuck off. Even the birds and squirels here eat meat. They eat eachother. Why the hell did you think diet choiches are the problem or a soution? Clearly people and all other species have eaten whatever possible for millions of years. In industrial society we have a choice...no we don't. Does a poor mother have a choice how to feed her kids? Does a poor father? Eating eachother is been here for milllions of years. Veganism is not going to save nature. It is oppossite to nature.
it's the fucking cars (from tractors to planes) that spread all this shit around therefore the fucking oil is in the root of all of this. arabs are the richest people in the middle of the barren desert GUESS WHY??? EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF THIS
Everyone is so worried about not having enough. In developed countries there is abundant power very badly utilized. Also what about everyone using a little less. Circular economy adopted by major industry would go a long way. There are lots of painless ways to achieve this. Problem is leadership with different agenda. NH CONSTITUTION BILL OF RIGHTS preserved our right to remind our leaders to use CONSCIENCE in decisions. This right was never given to federal. That's how it's been neglected in state and international constitutions. It's our duty as citizens to demand our RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE UNALIENABLE. 🌎 PEACE NOW
It's going to happen a hell of a lot faster that that. It is the the end of life on this planet. And why don't you mention the paradox we are in? You are no leader sir.
I signed up to E.R but beginning to think this is all kinda moot. The Earth will be fine, even if it suffers global nuclear war it will recover and live on. So to get to the real point we are talking about saving the human species. But why preserve a species that did nothing to save itself when it actually could have made a difference(the 60's, '70's, 80's), and now screams for action when it is obviously too late? I love this amazing planet that has given me everything, that nurtures and sustains us at every moment, is alive to its innermost recesses, has filled me with awe and left me speechless, that deserves immense respect and gratitude from us but generally gets abuse instead. Yes, i am on board with E.R, but i also think we truly deserve extinction.
Check this bloke out on Wiki - "Biography Hallam was previously an organic farmer in Wales; he attributes the destruction of his business to a series of extreme weather events.[4] Between at least 2017 and early 2019 he was studying for a PhD in civil disobedience at King's College London,[5] researching how to achieve social change through radical movements.[6] In January 2017, in an action to urge King's College London to divest from fossil fuels, Hallam and another person, using water-soluble chalk-based spray paint,[4] painted "Divest from oil and gas", "Now!" and "Out of time" on the university's Strand campus entrance.[7][5] They were arrested in February when they again spray painted the university's Great Hall,[7] charged by the state with criminal damage and fined £500.[8] In May 2019, after a three day trial at Southwark Crown Court, they were cleared by a jury of all charges, having argued in their defence that their actions were a proportionate response to the climate crisis.[5] In March 2017, Hallam went on hunger strike to demand the university divest from fossil fuels-the institution had millions of pounds invested in fossil fuels but no investment in renewable energy.[8] Five weeks after the first protest, the university removed £14m worth of investments from fossil fuel companies and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2025.[4][9] Later in 2017, Hallam was a leading member of activist group Stop Killing Londoners[10] an anti-pollution campaign[11] of mass civil disobedience that they hoped would result in the arrest and imprisonment of activists.[12] Hallam with Stuart Basden and two others were prosecuted and some pledged to go on hunger strike if imprisoned.[13] Hallam is a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, with Gail Bradbrook and Simon Bramwell.[2][6][14][15] He stood unsuccessfully in the 2019 European Parliament election in the London constituency as an independent, winning 924 of the 2,241,681 votes cast (0.04%).[16]"
1. Give everyone a dividend of the state, every month so they can live without the need to work harder. Then there will be less stress to do dumb shit (like cutting forrest) to make ends meet. Remember, they do this because the workers has no money to live on and that's the only thing they can do to make a living. 2. Let them work less, so they will be healthier, get more sleep and think more clearly. 3. Now with healthy people at your side, put a carbon Tax and Dividend in place, with a much higher rate of the companies that pollute more 4. Put a militairy section in place that will fight inaction of every country around climate change or if they make it worse 5. Make actuall laws so that we can act legally against companies or leaders who are not complying with the world 6. Change the economy from Capatilism > a system were work is not central anymore, but happiness, health, animals and nature. GIve the people money, make a government branch were people can sign up "A Legion of Protectors & Rebuilders of Nature" and with government money they can reforest, help the farmers making new ways of farming, protect the animals, cleanup the ocean, wildfire control, and subsidies to clean energy, and electric cars etc. And since it's government, they have more rights then Greenpeace for example. If this was in my country, I would have signed up the first day. 7. Change the incentives. This means that money cannot be the driving force of the economy anymore. Or at least, incentives and get nature into the economy equasion so it has actual value. You can do this by making laws that nature has a bigger price, and also a taxation on every thing that has a high price of manufacturing. This way the incentive will change to produce more green. I don't know, I like to dream big and dream of a utopian again wich people can actually live and grow old with hope. Inacting is making people less hopeful eventually. The proof is all around us.
Meaning this in all sincerity humankind must move closer toward the resulting truth of the 100th monkey phenomenon. I constantly imagine a world of harmony in the midst of intentionally caused chaos by the forces of greed.

You have no goal. Your goal should be to organize the people to take our buildings back, that we build, and use them to grow food. One way to stave off starvation is to grow food. There are enough people to get this done if you organize in that fashion. Good luck.
Eventually someone is going to have to come up with a policy position do deal with the Chinese government. Even if the west gets its act together, without Chinese involvement the cause is lost.
Roger Hallam's warning is very timely - and he is absolutely right about the need to build a broad-based mass movement and carry out civil-disobedience actions if necessary. But the "Popular Front" (1930s variety) is most certainly NOT an example to be followed, given that in every single case it ended in utter (and predictable) defeat! - the reason being an unwillingness to tackle the power of private corporations or do anything that would infringe the legality of the so-called "democratic" establishment. The Popular Front was crushed by fascism in Spain (with the covert help of the British government) and proved to be helpless when confronted by the Nazi onslaught in France a couple of years later. Now that he has become a recognised leader of an important social movement, Hallam should do his homework and study history and politics a little bit more thoroughly before talking about things he obviously knows nothing about. Civil disobedience is diametrically opposed to the whole concept of the "Popular Front". It is apparent that the Extinction Rebellion movement badly needs some high-calibre intellectuals/strategists (in addition to good organisers like Hallam). Rule number one: Don't enter into alliances with your enemy.
The problem we are facing is how we organise production, for who and what. Why not use a social network to organise a voluntary mode of production? Events like the Arab spring revolution and even the Area 51 meme are an example of voluntary organisation via the internet (I know Area 51 thing never happened). If we can collectively organise to protest, we can use it to organise the production of goods!
Logic and commonsense strongly suggests that a system where the lobbying of government by mega rich industries is allowed is not going to be very beneficial for the masses. Hence we are where we are.
I stand a claim: EDUCATION/KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY ONE KEY. I believe population must be massively teached in Ecology basics, then giving ideas/ways to change their individuals lives. I´m just tired of listening "governments and factories are guilty". They wouldn´t have been able to do it without US COMPLETING THE CIRCLE. WE, AS CONSUMERS HAVE THE LAST WORD. We can´t be expecting governments compromise, WE HAVE TO SPREAD KNOWLOEDGE WORD RIGHT NOW. I wouldn´t waste time complaining and complaining... if we do a strike?... LET´S TAKE THAT TIME TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE, not just stand out there on the streets shouting... On 20-27 September strike I will try to (and would recommend to do it so) CUT OFF MY ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION. (I´ve been thinking about it and maybe just the frisge is the only one thing I will not be able to stop). CUT OFF DIRECT AND INDIRECT CAR EMISSIONS. NOT BUYING SOMETHING. SPEND THE TIME CARING FOR MY TREES (I am planting hundreds of oaks). ... and the last thing: SWITCHING OFF FROM THE INTERNET. We are generating an enormous amount of emissions just by using the internet (servers). WE ARE GUILTY OF THE SITUATION WE HAVE OUTSIDE. WE DROVE, FLEW, BOUGHT, WASTED ENERGY, WASTED FOOD, WASTED WATER, POLLUTED, TRASHED PLASTIC OUTDOORS... WE MADE THE SYSTEM OPERATE. THEY GAVE US WHAT WE ASKED THEM FOR. It´s very easy to avoid own responsibilities...
I admire your steadfast attitude towards the need for desperate action. I'd love for someone in your position to analyze solar panels and wind turbines so that people would see the false gods that they are. You use more fossil fuels by building these than what they give in return.
You are simply wrong about this. Read some LCA studies on renewables. I have given details or EROEI and carbon payback periods to you already in another comment.
If drilling/fracking mining for fossil fuel oil and pipe installments and for whatever else is no more and we drive only electrical cars and all plastic made mandatory to recycle ♻️ and so on and so on WE STILL GOING TO DIE OFF IF PEOPLE DO NOT STOP EATING THE ANIMALS!!!!! FACT!!!
hope you highlight meghan and harry because they are doing so much damage to this cause. they are making fools of themselves with their totally woke attitude.
Eve Northrop They care only a little about the climate crisis, Megan and Harry along with all other royal family members still fly in private jets and spend millions of taxpayers money on things for themselves, rocketing up a massive carbon footprint.
'emphasizes' ? The extinction rebellion social media manager is either american or has had to use spell check. Either way I am not impressed with this fake grassroots debacle.
Instead of protests you should go round putting solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells on homes. Show the world what zero emission and energy independence looks like and that we don't have to have wars for oil or be slaves to corporate grids.
@@weatherdevil9029 Its been possilble for 180 years. You just don't know about it and others don't know it because organzations like this one keep not talking about or doing it.
Wrong! Solar and wind are zero. Their electricity used to electrify water gerenates hydrogen and oxygen with zero emission. Have some humility and admit when you're wrong and ignorant. Then shut up get on it instead of arguing.
Please be open, to new ideas, there a need to collected knowledge, then re dispatch the correct info, to the correct region. since we dont have the same need.
The rich and powerful will still have there limo,s and jets,and we the workers will be left waiting for buses and trains in the rain and cold .Never mind we have got a nice big turnip for tea!.
If Roger is right then my plans will not help. My plans will take at least 30 years to more than 100 years to make a sufficient difference. I am 71 and my plans are in my head and no-one is even slightly interested in getting to work on them. You better take notice of Roger and join in the movement or hope that he has it all wrong. Do you think he has it all wrong? I don't know if he has it wrong or right but at my age, I expect to be gone before the shit hits the fan. If you are younger than me, I suggest you join Roger in some way and/or join me in my Plan B project. Or pray to your non-existent god. How much time do you really think you have? Follow the science.
12,000 marched for animal rights in London last weekend. Bring them on board.... talk to Robbie Lockie of Plant Based News... and the other progressive movements...
Glad to see them getting the message out to a set of people that may not be familiar with it. But yes they should fix their own travel arrangements, or even better just do a lot less of it. They are offsetting, which is probably better than nothing, but they do need to actually cut the emissions, not expect some poor people to do it for them.

it needs high lighting because they are doing so much damage with their pretend woke.. they are not interested in saving the world. they are interested only in themselves.
I don't say is ineffective this bottom up movement. Maybe it will reach the critical mass for shifting the narrative, but how this shift will be accomplished is very difficult problem. You can rock the ship but the officers know how to move it. To say to accomplish this universal emotional connection toward collective survival, but we are still those humans that we managed to came to this point. We are all in cultural preferences that toke us to this collapse. Its something different to change the perspective or even political views, but too shift culture. In history this shifts in culture was happend through long periods of time. We live in industrial over production and over consumption culture. Its very important how we came to this cultural preferences. Its long civilisation evolution process. Civilisation also means evolution of knowledge, technology and art. Art is expression of reality through emotional experiences. So artists could be those to shift narrative, because they already are.

rotortiller1 .. ingesting is more climate friendly
@@wadeinn463 ..l did lol when l read ur comment, ingesting is a much better high for sure and weed is legal here in Canada but as with so much in our world what seems like a greener idea is actually worse for the environment,at least scientifically l believe.
l make edibles as well but the thing is to make a pound of THC butter or other oil before it goes into the edibles actually requires a lot of carbon producing emissions as well as factory farming, transportation and the use of an electric or gas oven for 1.5 hours time, 45 mins you debarb. the weed at 245 degrees F. then melt the butter and when that is done add the decarbed weed and simmer for another 45 mins and strain and let cool after which you most likely will store the butter or completed edible product in an electric fridge till its all finished.
So all said and done would the burning of an ounce of weed leave as much carbon in the air as all the above steps do to make the edibles.

A lot of people are treating the issue with an appalling lack of responsibily. Local businesses shoving adverts of steak everywhere, consumerism being the centre of peoples little world, they couldn't care less about the children, the animals, the planet.
They could have been doing something about climate change in the 80's. Instead funding for research into alternative technology was cut, the bus services were deregulated and train fares went up faster than inflations with less frequent train services. Thatcher declared that anybody travelling by bus over the age of 30 was a failure even if they owned a car.
Beef is one of the major causes of climate change because: 1. Trees and plants are cleared for cattle and cattle feed, 2. Cows emit methane gas which is a greenhouse gas and 3. Resources are used growing cows which could be put to better use growing the same number of calories in plant food without the same impact on the environment.
A good example is that the fires in the Amazon are started because cattle farmers want to clear the land to breed more cows and cattle feed. The consumer demand for beef is directly responsible for that.
@@robertpacker2250 Steak is the best source of nutrients a human can have. Red meat and saturated fats are healthy and it is because we learned how to cook is the reason why Homo Sapien is still around now. It is a lie that red meats are bad for you. Heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure is going up and up even though we have moved away from eating meats to processed foods massively. If your body is used to burning fats for energy like mine is (all my family were butchers) then I burn off the saturated fats. If your body is used to burning off sugars (most people in the world) then your body stores the fats and you just become a fat bastard. All my family eat red meat every week and none of us are overweight. We are also strong and healthy with no diseases associated with saturated fats. Sugar companies are selling more and more each yr and processed foods are dominating the whole food market yet the people eating more of these foods are getting much worse with diabetes, blood pressure and heart disease ect. The problem is the foods are terrible from a nutrient point of view. There are still hunter gatherers today and they eat like we did thousands of yrs ago and they don't even have words in their languages for diabetes and obesity ect....They like me are fit strong and healthy because they have red meats as their primary source of nutrition!! Now there is talk of making red meats illegal which is ridiculous and a terrible thing to do. Chicken and other white meats are no where near as nutritious as red meats are and people who are vegetarian or worse vegan are literally starving their bodies of what it needs. Some people have actually died because of this and blood tests show almost all vegans are severely lacking from many elements and vitamins the body needs. You can survive as a vegan but your body needs to have pills to take to keep up levels so you don't develop serious conditions that can cause fatal illnesses.
@@MICKEYISLOWD A food education campaign at every level could be developed and implemented, teaching people how to follow a vegan diet safely. Just as we all grew up learning that there is breakfast, lunch and dinner, people can grow up learning how to follow a vegan food plan. Recipes, cook books, celebrity chefs, restaurants, stores, gardening experts, farmers, etc, can support healthy, safe, tasty vegan food plans.
Advertising burgers and all meat variants etc needs to banned in mainstream media (along with tobacco and alcohol). The Amazonian farmers are burning forests so they can grow beef or soy (to feed to animals) for export back to Europe.
Yes, we do need to work together, but in the right direction, to zero with solar, wind, and hydrogen. Eliminate not just reduce emissions.
How much fossil fuel is used to build onesolar panel or one wind turbine? Trojan horse! You use less fossil fuel by not using solar or not building a wind turbine. Drive into southern caliberalfornia and you'll see hundreds of them standing idle because of the prohibitive maintenance costs.
@@gortklaatu4476 It depends where you build it, and the grid intensity of that place. Panels and turbines built in France, Norway, Costa Rica and Paraguay will have very low embodied carbon. Panels and turbines built in China are an order of magnitude worse. However they still pay back those emissions after 6 months for a turbine and 2 years for a panel. They have an EROEI of at least 20, which is fine, and improving steadily as manufacturing gets more efficient and grid intensity is reduced. Eventually the whole system will be decarbonised.
Civilization is a heat engine by definition. Regardless of how you contrive to power it. We already have reached 1.8 degrees C above baseline and that appears to have triggered dozens of self reinforcing positive side loops such as the methane release from the melting permafrost. There is ample evidence that the 6th great extinction event is well underway with more than 150 species disappearing daily. DAILY! And I haven't yet seen solar dimming discussed in a comment thread of the "Extinction Rebellion". The really bad news if all that doesn't suffice, is that in the past ten years we have pumped more GHG's into the atmosphere than the whole total up until that time and we haven't seen that effect yet, but it's in the pipeline baked into our problem which will soon be much worse. Can you say exponential? Jus' tryna keep it real here.
@@gortklaatu4476 Surely you can see further than this intellectually?
Renewable energy uses fossil fuels to produce because we are in a fossil fuel based system. The solar panel production process could be powered by renewables, solely. Sigh....
If you want zero emissions then how will you eat..? No transport and you will be dead in 1 month from starvation fool. The absolute truth is we needed to start all this in 1990 when the science was settled and even then the effort would have to be global with every person working to build the new infrastructures to maintain the bare minimum for survival and then rebuild all our cities for carbon neutral living.
Today we can build homes that use very low energy even through winter but to start now would take 30 yrs minimum but the thing is we are truly out of time. 30 yrs ago we could of scraped through and rebuilt but now its out of time. Even if we stopped all emissions now the Earth will blow past 2 degrees and get to 3 degrees. Then most of the land producing food will not be fit for production. Populations growing faster with water and food about to crash. We are doomed and it is not our fault because we have been lied to and the facts were never told from the energy companies who knew full well this would happen. They did their own investigations 30 yrs ago and never told anyone.
These people should be found out and then they should be named in public and the public should have them put in Jail for the rest of their lives or put to death because they have allowed billions of people to die in agony. The average good person when finding out this truth would spend the rest of their lives getting the truth out to protect everyone else but they did not do this...they kept quiet and enjoyed the vast amounts of money they made. I only hope they are put on trial before our whole civilisation collapses.

Many people around the world don't have or read the internet, so the key message will never reach them. Further, many people lack the level of education needed to understand the issues involved. Therefore even if they read the message, they will ask for an explanation and if the explanation isn't believed, they won't follow the message.
neverlostforwords this is true but many indigenous people have been sending us this message for decades, in developing countries they are already seeing the results of our destructive habits. It's the countries who are in the thrall of capitalism/chasing wealth at all costs who are uneducated in this and keep perpetuating the destruction. Education has traditionally been provided by governments, who have a vested interested in making sure that people are kept ignorant of the truth

60% increase in emissions since 1990.
Carbon emissions already reached 415 ppm this year, by the time you factor in methane and other greenhouse gases plus black carbon we are already over 500 ppm CO2 equivalent.
The UN Special Report 1.5 degree Celsius mentioned a need for 45% reduction in emissions by 2030 based on 2010 level.
Many of the feedbacks are not even included in the Special Report which means the advice should be even stronger.
Which feedbacks are missing? I'll give you permafrost soil carbon and ice cliff collapse rates (both properly quantified/modelled in very new science). But in general nearly all relevant feedbacks are indeed included. The special report should in fact be pretty accurate.
@@xxwookey Go here, page 5, Climate Stabilisation paragraph:

I am not sure how much of this data overlaps with UN special report, but as IPPC puts it: you get different budgets including or not including tipping points like permafrost. You must also take into account that most "optimistic" scenarios assumes the negative carbon emissions technology to be ready for large scale deployment. It's still sci-fy,
Nitrous Oxide is also coming out of the melting permafrost in Alaska. It heats the atmosphere 300 times more than CO2. This was discovered in a study Harvard did in 2018.

Luke - XR UK: Strategy Stewardship Team
@@LukeFlegg Hi Luke... I agree strongly... I am VERY interested in following up on the "Sensitivity" study Roger mentions... that projects 5C by 2050. Any leads would be appreciated.
Is the move toward zero carbon done at the individual level or just on the larger scale? I think most people believe that, for the sake of their comfort, convenience, and pleasure, we must do it almost exclusively on a large scale. That is because most of us think we cannot use LESS energy, but that we have to REPLACE the current level of carbon based energy with clean energy. That is all well and good, but I rarely hear anything about how to simplify and use less as we transition to clean energy.
Here are some things almost all of us can do: 1) Go Vegan.
2) Grow veggies and fruits for food. There are a lot of YT videos about organic gardening. We can get great food and exercise through gardening with hand tools only... no machinery. Even with plants in HDPE containers we can get herbs and leafy greens to eat.
3) Cycling for transportation. This is done in some cities much more than others... Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Portland, OR, others. With more cyclists, city governments will provide more and safer designated bike paths.
We must outlaw carbon emissions with "all deliberate speed". But in the meantime (and beyond) we should take the opportunity to reconnect with the only planet that will EVER sustain our lives.
Why do u think they have built all those underground cities, they have know this for years. I agree with this assessment about the changes on Mother Earth.

However, Roger is educated in movements and how people force change. That being said, he is not up against something simple like civil rights, the right for women to vote, or British rule over India. Yes, those are simple things compared to changing the ways of an entire planet in 11 years, and counting, by going up against the wealth and power attained in 200 years by the 1st world countries.

Go forward with your eyes open or not, your choice, but as and when the collapse starts, you might just wish you'd pressed your government and local authority into focussing on giving us some protection from the chaos coming down the road.

@@MICKEYISLOWD and the rest are looking to greenland
@Justin Time ^^^^Trump Supporter^^^^ talking about a bunch of mentally unstable liars? lol
But, what is the solution to energy needs in *just* the UK, let alone the rest of the world?
The efforts made by Extinction Rebellion are exemplary, yet we need the solutions after the rebellion to attempt to save the planet.
For the UK, should it involve both nuclear and renewables? - we need to rapidly replace the 40% of energy derived from gas (and coal to a lesser extent - we're almost there with that, only 3%) within 6 years to meet your target.
It's estimated that 30,000 wind turbines would be required to match the output of a reactor like Hinkley point C.
It seems to me that the best option to start with is to keep the reactors going whilst we replace gas - which would require hundreds of thousands of turbines.
It's certainly do-able, with the right will and effort - and by completely scrapping planning regulations. Sorry Nimbys, it will have to be in your back yard. Live with it.
Whichever way you look at it, in order to achieve close to zero carbon emissions, we are going to require nuclear in the energy mix for decades.
Then we get onto the transport changes that are required to reach that carbon emission target. How do you replace 40 million vehicles in 6 years?
Arguably, you don't - you replace half of that with electric vehicles and convince 20 million owners to ditch their cars in favour of cycling and public transport.
That's a massive ask. However, it could be achievable with other efforts - how many office workers don't actually have to be at the office to get their work done?
Surely millions could work from home at least 50% of the time and commute by bicycle and/or public transport the rest?
What about a 4 day working week for those sectors that could feasibly change to these hours?
Could we cut the total amount of vehicles by 75% and those remaining would be electric, recharged from renewables (and nuclear)?
It will then become apparent that the draw on an entirely renewable energy grid, to charge these vehicles, would necessitate more energy creation.
We would be replacing liquid fossil fuel energy with energy from the grid. I've no idea what the maths behind this would be in terms of required power, but it won't be trivial.
Then we get onto energy usage in the home, namely, gas. What is the cost of replacing gas heating and cooking in millions of british homes?
Who would foot the bill to convert all these houses to electricity sourced from renewables (and nuclear) ? - in just six years?
People need to keep warm in the winter - play this the wrong way and there's either going to be an awful lot of wood being burned and/or an unsustainable draw on the national grid.
If we get this right and do manage to cut our emissions to nearly zero in six years, what guarantee do we have that other countries will do the same?
Lets say they do, how do we handle global dimming? We may have to use technology to attempt to combat this for as much as a century, should we manage to cut emissions to keep us under 2c warming.
I think 2025 is impossible to achieve, but the urgency is such that we should attempt it to see how far we can get.
It may, in the end, come down to extreme draconian measures - energy rationing, more social sharing of spaces and homes, a complete dietary change, a complete change in the way we work, commute, go on holiday.
A starting point that isn't so draconian, is to rid this world of trivial trinkets - of crap that lines the shelves of every supermarket in every country. Get rid of the stuff we do not need as humans first and foremost. The economic knock-on impact of doing this will be dramatic - but it should be amongst the first things to be done. It is the least impactful overall socially, despite the loss of jobs globally. We do not need probably 90% of the shit we own or covet.
The second least draconian thing is to stop eating meat and fish, planet wide - or at least, in developed nations to start with. We owe it to the developing world for them to catch up. They should not have to suffer more.
The economic knock-on impact from this would be astronomical - but the effort from meat production could be channelled into sustainable crop production to lessen that impact. Fast food outlets that sell meat can go do one or switch to vegetable fast food. And that *does not mean imitating meat !!!* (get over it already)
It is said that we need a movement as big as that put into motion in WWII. I beg to differ, it needs to be a far bigger change than that was - a life changing experience for every single inhabitant of the planet.
Actually, let me rephrase that, because it is massively unfair. A life changing experience for the fortunate people in the developed countries on this planet. Close to a billion people are already living within the carbon footprint that the rest of us need to work within.

Matthew Trow 100% correct. What I find is no wants to, or is even able to sacrifice their lifestyle to save the planet.
If only we went with thorium the world could have looked a different picture.
@Pool Bal He did, but admitted he may be wrong on the timescale. He predicted this based on evidence from many scientists. Most of this evidence is the danger of feedback loops, notably, the loss of sea ice in the northern hemisphere summer and also the related melting permafrost / artic shelf potential massive methane gas emissions.
The theory is, if the artic sea ice is all but gone in summer, it will precipitate a collapse in grain crops globally as temperatures rise dramatically over a very short period - not to mention the added risk of further temperature increases from methane emissions - and also the resulting calamity from a climate completely under breakdown. Those areas that could grow grain at lower temperatures in the Northern hemisphere, will likely be inundated with massive storms, floods and also unusually unseasonal weather - not just heat, but also cold.
Also, many far Northern climes are not geared up to grow grain at scale in short order - the soils aren't right, the infrastructure isn't there - you can't just pluck up billions of hectares of grain crops and move them a thousand miles north.
The sad thing is, rewind a hundred years or more, people would've been more adept at surviving in the Northern hemisphere, at subsistence levels.
It was the norm to 'grow your own', to have hens and some livestock.
Now we face a 'Just In Time' economy, with very little storage of produce - it really is a perfect storm.
Hardly anyone has a clue how to survive without this economy, how to grow their own food, how to tend to livestock.
Heck, hardly anyone knows how to cook anymore and to store seasonal produce by preserving it.
If we did, there may be an outside chance of a slightly less dismal outcome when grain crops fail worldwide.
Effectively, most of humanity will starve to death over the course of a few years and probably many will die due to violence or attempted migration across oceans and land.
The first countries to experience the full force of massive food shortages will be those least able to cope with it - resulting in a wave of migration in the countless millions.
Those 'fortunate' countries that have at least some food storage - a lot of it in people's homes, some of it in warehouses - will limp on for a little longer, until social collapse occurs as the food runs out and as waves of migrants are knocking on the door. Because of the 'Just in time' economy, food is no longer stored at the scale it once was. Even if it was, it's difficult to store grain for longer than a year.
Imagine a situation where you have been savvy enough to store food and water to last, say, a year - you better be prepared to protect that food, because with 100% certainty, when the food in the shops has gone and people are starving, there's going to be some very very nasty conflict.
Some may hold out for a few more years in far northern latitudes - and indeed, in all but the most dire predictions of the extinction of 95% plus of life - may actually survive and become the future for humanity. It won't be very pleasant though.
So, back to McPherson - his timescale may be right out there in terms of dire predictions, but if we carry on, it's going to happen anyway, whether that's in 5, 10, 20 or 50 years.
He also believes, like some scientist do, that it's too late and on the very direst end of the world scenarios, he believes we will take out up to 95% of life on the planet along with us.
We have already 'baked in' temperatures well exceeding 2c without considering feedback loops - it doesn't matter what we do now, we're going over 2c and probably to 3c regardless.
Then we get to the issue of global dimming - cut back emissions too quickly and we lose the reflective and thus cooling effect of water vapour mixed up with - well, soot for want of a better word.
The balance is so incredibly delicate, that not only would we need to curb carbon emissions, but would also need to do it in such a way that we don't just end up heating the planet even more in the process.
Fun times, eh?
So where is the hope?
Well, the hope is we can act in time to prevent the worst of the feedback loops. We can't prevent a rise to 2c and over, but we may be able to stem the tide and keep under 3c - as we have no other alternative anyway, we may as well do something, right?
Even at 2c we're up shit creek big time, but at 3c and over, we're probably looking at 50% to 80% of the human race not making it.
We also don't know what other feedback loops there may be, 'waiting in the wings'. Humanity has the science to know for sure we're in trouble, but we don't have the science to know exactly what will happen nor how to prevent it, short of cutting emissions almost completely and planting trees on an almost biblical scale.
Despite this, it's business as usual across the globe. The vast majority of people are either in denial or don't want to know.
It's hard to blame them, but it's not hard to blame those who DO know what is coming and have the power to attempt to stop it.
Fossil fuel companies have known for decades the risks we faced, yet did nothing - in fact, they did far worse, they continued to increase activity in the sector.
Scientists have been silenced or paid off. Many have been fearful for their reputations. There's been a concerted efforts from the elite that want to keep the status quo, to actively sow doubt and denial. The media have been silent for decades - true journalism is all but dead and buried, under a bombardment of false information, available to consume in seconds.
@Pool Bal Just keep that electric underblanket ready, as exceptionally cold winters are as likely as warm ones! Good luck and keep safe.
It is now time to look at and focus on what unites us as humans and not what divides us.
this is amazing - is there a transcript available?
I find it extremely difficult if not impossible to connect with other human beings. My explanation is that most people are unconscious and act emotionally rather than seeing the truth/reality and act wisely accordingly.

Really? could you please review your plan a little bit for 2020. because in I spend half 2019, was force / choice to give on other project. I spend all my energy to help, but how do i get the resources to live my life ?
The feeling I get from all I have heard and read so far is that everyone wants to do something, but nobody knows where to start. We painted ourselves into a terrible corner by becoming so dependent on fossil fuels. As far as I know, nobody has come up with a plan to change our lives.
going vegan would make a massive difference for the majority. starting today and becoming an advocate (plus XR) would be even more fantastic ;)
There are lots of plans. What is appropriate depends on your circumstances. Quora.com has many good answers for example. Here's a couple of mine:

Do we really deserve to live on this very small blue dot, we really are like a virus. A plastic layer in the strata. The end.
we need doers like you Brian
US EXTINCT!!! I’ll tell you how WE ARE going to be extinct. The Amazon rainforest is the lung of the world and as long as there is non-vegans existing they will continue burning the rain forest AND WE ALL GOING TO DIE FOR SURE!!!
Because it’s all because of MEETING THE DEMANDS of EVERYONE that wants to eat the animals the they keep burning the forest!!!
So environmentalist need to WAKE THE FUCK UP TOO 😤
Can't help but to comment as I was an environmental student at college, mostly all science and climate change is like an equilibrium shift in a chemical titration, kind of hard to reverse the endpoint, just saying , if we are to believe climate change, doesn't mean we can change it.
An unparalleled social challenge indeed, and yes that will fail probably. Some very intelligent professional people have told me point blank that they think climate change is bunk and would never have any plans of joining a work together effort, oh no not them, yeah, that's what your faced with. Looks like Hell is on its way, again I'm glad I'm old and may not have to see these days, it's disturbing enough knowing
Inspiring way to sign off.
How do you respond with indigenous groups. I'm in XR Canada and I've experienced indigenous people wanting to control the movement, not working with the consensus, as they say white people are settlers on their land. And pretty much everyone goes along with this so the actions get steered to their concerns and say from climate.
XR including Roger and Rupert Read etc load up all these video clips and hope we all view them and get behind them but never reply or comment on our responses, what are you advising we should do ?, you keep explaining we are doomed unless act now.....so where should we all start, any reply from XR ?
Most XR activity happens in a decentralised way, in person, on a local community basis. So get involved with your nearest[1] XR group, go to meetings, and things will fall into place. (If there's nothing in your home town, contact the nearest XR group anyway - they'll have advice.) If you're involved with organisations besides XR, maybe consider ways to encourage them to collaborate on shared goals (...e.g., where I am, we often team up with other environmental and social groups to support each other's events).

This is the very early stages of a paradigm shift, we will change, we will adapt, we are evolving just at a slower pace because we have not been clever, we gave ground to tyrants dictators & compulsive liars who used plagerism as a tool to steel creative ideas & rearrange the message to confuse & convince the populace who really did believe the deception that nearly wrote of a planet, so its still the truth, we didn't know things would get this bad but that feeling was felt all round, everyone is involved & has to take responsibility at some level, everyone can prevail. This planet is 1st priority but our ambition must match, an whole hearted effort is required.
Please -- what are the sources for the 5C being baked in within 20-30 years, and for the related effect of that being 6-7 billion dead?
@grindupBaker -- after a bit of research, it turns out much of what Roger claims can be inferred from the 2019 World Meteorological Organization "Statement on the State of the Climate in 2018." The report explicitly states that 3C is no longer very likely and 5C is increasingly more likely, since the 3C projection assumed the countries affirming the 2015 Paris Agreement would follow through on their action commitments, which they have not. Human morbidity and mortality rates under the assumption of an additional 4C of global warming emerging by 2100 are the hard parts to ascertain ... the medical scientific studies and projections may have been done, but they either have not been released public media yet, or they are very difficult to find. The 20-30 year to 5C that Roger predicts is plausible -- e.g., scientists predicted thermafrost thaw with concomitant methane release wouldn't happen until 2090, but in fact if has already begun, 71 years earlier than predicted. Feedback loops are being triggered and tipping points are being passed through faster than we can keep track, and our instruments for trying to are aging and failing. So IMHO the sorts of causes you point to and the statistical relations between them are increasingly tenuous guesses -- especially in terms of timescales.
I think the bottom line is that hell on Earth is coming and we have no idea exactly when and are mainly clueless as to what we will suffer. We only know it's going to be hell.

The oceans are rising and we should the extra water to end climate change, hunger, thirst, and wars for food, water, and fuel. Desalination and Water pipelines instead of Oil pipelines.
Standing strong is the only way. Now is the time to break our mold as social creatures ruled by forces generated in a commodity producing societies.
The root of the problem are the societies that perpetually produce commodities for their value and of the use-values they produce are all built to that end.
So that a typical stick home construction is only use-ful to certain industries as a means of consuming electricity, water, gas and oil. A job is not the only way to obtain the utilities for your home if your home can produce its own light, heat and clean water and our present level of science permits. These are the commodities nations fight over and the industries climate change activists want to abolish are peripheral industries to the home industry. The change should happen in the home market and spreading from there. To produce homes whose use-fulness is their ability to manufacture light, water, heat and food is a revolutionizing act climate change activists should consider. To get this done on a mass scale is historic of the end of the carbon based economy of commodity producing societies.
Lets create the social media platform that is designed to help us work together
- find best solutions as they become available
- Find a group that needs our participation
- find people to start a project with
- contribute to existing projects (emotional, mental or physical labor and financially)
- create information tools to understand complex problems
If people are on social media lets create REAL change ON social media.
If we give people a way to contribute as they are and give them the tools to come together we will have massive change more rapidly than anyone can imagine
People just need hope and tools, we can turn it ALL around, rapidly
Not that you're going to need one, but do you have a ny different shirts..? I support the cause...
Part of what is happening in terms of loss of primeval forest in Borneo, Sumatra, Amazon, Nigeria, Republic of Congo is due to the increasing market of China - consumer and product manufacturing. In Brazil and Africa, there more and more acquisition of land to production of mono cultures and sustain the Chinese growth, and source materials to make everything that is being manufactured there, while the main development countries are buying almost everything made in China. And there's also the issue of buying products that have ecological labels, but that are being sold in plastic packaging. Paper with certification is being sold from exactly that forests that are now being taken down to put eucalyptus in their place, while we in Europe are buying that paper to write, inside of furniture we are buying, and even to clean our own sh*t.
It’s hard to know what to believe when you get people dulling it down like it’s not important and you get others saying it catastrophic
"Maybe we need to reduce animal agriculture because of the emitions from that side " ~ Roger Hallam
It's not just the huge portion of emitions though is it Roger ?
Animal agriculture is using up 1/3 of the earth's land that we could be using to sequester carbon .
Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation and species extinction world wide and it will soon be the death of our oceans .
Animal products are completely unnecessary in our civilisation , so yes we need to reduce our consumption , starting with those who care ,not eating any animal products at all .
It's very simple . You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem .
Stop dragging your heals and go vegan today .
He is vegan.
@@druma9691 Then he should be promoting veganism . I don't think he gets it at all .
@@isupportthecurrentthing.1514 He gets it alright. Why do you think vegan campaigns have failed in the past? Because many just aren't there yet and many just don't care. The issues we are now all facing are entirely next level protests and everyone does need to be on board for them. Its important at this point not to exclude anyone at all as the point is to get everyone round the climate emergency table to look at the science. Make space, make time, be creative, be kind.
O right, just tell everyone to go vegan. Do you even understand what that means? Would you tell a hunter-gatherer in the Amazon they are part of the prroblem because they eat meat? Would you tell them to only eat plants? They would trow you in the local pool i think. or shoot an arrow up your butt.
They would teach you tofuck off. Even the birds and squirels here eat meat. They eat eachother.
Why the hell did you think diet choiches are the problem or a soution?
Clearly people and all other species have eaten whatever possible for millions of years.
In industrial society we have a choice...no we don't.
Does a poor mother have a choice how to feed her kids? Does a poor father?
Eating eachother is been here for milllions of years. Veganism is not going to save nature. It is oppossite to nature.
it's the fucking cars (from tractors to planes) that spread all this shit around therefore the fucking oil is in the root of all of this. arabs are the richest people in the middle of the barren desert GUESS WHY??? EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF THIS
Just had a T-shirt made from the local town with the logo on it
Just choose vegan first bc includes so many solutions . Would be almost perfect efficiency .
d6wave with a change from capitalism to socialism.
Everyone is so worried about not having enough. In developed countries there is abundant power very badly utilized. Also what about everyone using a little less. Circular economy adopted by major industry would go a long way. There are lots of painless ways to achieve this. Problem is leadership with different agenda. NH CONSTITUTION BILL OF RIGHTS preserved our right to remind our leaders to use CONSCIENCE in decisions. This right was never given to federal. That's how it's been neglected in state and international constitutions. It's our duty as citizens to demand our RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE UNALIENABLE. 🌎 PEACE NOW
It's going to happen a hell of a lot faster that that.
It is the the end of life on this planet. And why don't you mention the paradox we are in?
You are no leader sir.
Please considered, to include a mechanism "token/coin" to reward all the volunteer. to share fairly the wealth created .
I signed up to E.R but beginning to think this is all kinda moot. The Earth will be fine, even if it suffers global nuclear war it will recover and live on. So to get to the real point we are talking about saving the human species.
But why preserve a species that did nothing to save itself when it actually could have made a difference(the 60's, '70's, 80's), and now screams for action when it is obviously too late?
I love this amazing planet that has given me everything, that nurtures and sustains us at every moment, is alive to its innermost recesses, has filled me with awe and left me speechless, that deserves immense respect and gratitude from us but generally gets abuse instead.
Yes, i am on board with E.R, but i also think we truly deserve extinction.
It's our extinction that XR is rebelling against - we know the earth will carry on regardless
@@jamesmurdoch8541 yes i know that, but humans deserve extinction.
Check this bloke out on Wiki - "Biography
Hallam was previously an organic farmer in Wales; he attributes the destruction of his business to a series of extreme weather events.[4]
Between at least 2017 and early 2019 he was studying for a PhD in civil disobedience at King's College London,[5] researching how to achieve social change through radical movements.[6]
In January 2017, in an action to urge King's College London to divest from fossil fuels, Hallam and another person, using water-soluble chalk-based spray paint,[4] painted "Divest from oil and gas", "Now!" and "Out of time" on the university's Strand campus entrance.[7][5] They were arrested in February when they again spray painted the university's Great Hall,[7] charged by the state with criminal damage and fined £500.[8] In May 2019, after a three day trial at Southwark Crown Court, they were cleared by a jury of all charges, having argued in their defence that their actions were a proportionate response to the climate crisis.[5] In March 2017, Hallam went on hunger strike to demand the university divest from fossil fuels-the institution had millions of pounds invested in fossil fuels but no investment in renewable energy.[8] Five weeks after the first protest, the university removed £14m worth of investments from fossil fuel companies and pledged to become carbon neutral by 2025.[4][9]
Later in 2017, Hallam was a leading member of activist group Stop Killing Londoners[10] an anti-pollution campaign[11] of mass civil disobedience that they hoped would result in the arrest and imprisonment of activists.[12] Hallam with Stuart Basden and two others were prosecuted and some pledged to go on hunger strike if imprisoned.[13]
Hallam is a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, with Gail Bradbrook and Simon Bramwell.[2][6][14][15] He stood unsuccessfully in the 2019 European Parliament election in the London constituency as an independent, winning 924 of the 2,241,681 votes cast (0.04%).[16]"
1. Give everyone a dividend of the state, every month so they can live without the need to work harder. Then there will be less stress to do dumb shit (like cutting forrest) to make ends meet. Remember, they do this because the workers has no money to live on and that's the only thing they can do to make a living.
2. Let them work less, so they will be healthier, get more sleep and think more clearly.
3. Now with healthy people at your side, put a carbon Tax and Dividend in place, with a much higher rate of the companies that pollute more
4. Put a militairy section in place that will fight inaction of every country around climate change or if they make it worse
5. Make actuall laws so that we can act legally against companies or leaders who are not complying with the world
6. Change the economy from Capatilism > a system were work is not central anymore, but happiness, health, animals and nature. GIve the people money, make a government branch were people can sign up "A Legion of Protectors & Rebuilders of Nature" and with government money they can reforest, help the farmers making new ways of farming, protect the animals, cleanup the ocean, wildfire control, and subsidies to clean energy, and electric cars etc. And since it's government, they have more rights then Greenpeace for example. If this was in my country, I would have signed up the first day.
7. Change the incentives. This means that money cannot be the driving force of the economy anymore. Or at least, incentives and get nature into the economy equasion so it has actual value. You can do this by making laws that nature has a bigger price, and also a taxation on every thing that has a high price of manufacturing. This way the incentive will change to produce more green.
I don't know, I like to dream big and dream of a utopian again wich people can actually live and grow old with hope.
Inacting is making people less hopeful eventually. The proof is all around us.
You have read 'The Road' or maybe sat thru the film. It's that

You have no goal. Your goal should be to organize the people to take our buildings back, that we build, and use them to grow food. One way to stave off starvation is to grow food. There are enough people to get this done if you organize in that fashion. Good luck.
One way to stave off starvation is to grow food
well, that's one up on me!
The changes we need can seem overwhelming, but if we believe the science then refusing to change is overwhelming selfish.
Eventually someone is going to have to come up with a policy position do deal with the Chinese government. Even if the west gets its act together, without Chinese involvement the cause is lost.
You're right; this movement needs everyone involved for us to have the best chance.
The top 5 emitters are: China, US, India, Russia, and Japan.
Roger Hallam's warning is very timely - and he is absolutely right about the need to build a broad-based mass movement and carry out civil-disobedience actions if necessary. But the "Popular Front" (1930s variety) is most certainly NOT an example to be followed, given that in every single case it ended in utter (and predictable) defeat! - the reason being an unwillingness to tackle the power of private corporations or do anything that would infringe the legality of the so-called "democratic" establishment. The Popular Front was crushed by fascism in Spain (with the covert help of the British government) and proved to be helpless when confronted by the Nazi onslaught in France a couple of years later. Now that he has become a recognised leader of an important social movement, Hallam should do his homework and study history and politics a little bit more thoroughly before talking about things he obviously knows nothing about. Civil disobedience is diametrically opposed to the whole concept of the "Popular Front". It is apparent that the Extinction Rebellion movement badly needs some high-calibre intellectuals/strategists (in addition to good organisers like Hallam). Rule number one: Don't enter into alliances with your enemy.

The problem we are facing is how we organise production, for who and what. Why not use a social network to organise a voluntary mode of production?
Events like the Arab spring revolution and even the Area 51 meme are an example of voluntary organisation via the internet (I know Area 51 thing never happened). If we can collectively organise to protest, we can use it to organise the production of goods!
Logic and commonsense strongly suggests that a system where the lobbying of government by mega rich industries is allowed is not going to be very beneficial for the masses. Hence we are where we are.

I stand a claim: EDUCATION/KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONLY ONE KEY. I believe population must be massively teached in Ecology basics, then giving ideas/ways to change their individuals lives. I´m just tired of listening "governments and factories are guilty". They wouldn´t have been able to do it without US COMPLETING THE CIRCLE. WE, AS CONSUMERS HAVE THE LAST WORD. We can´t be expecting governments compromise, WE HAVE TO SPREAD KNOWLOEDGE WORD RIGHT NOW. I wouldn´t waste time complaining and complaining... if we do a strike?... LET´S TAKE THAT TIME TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE, not just stand out there on the streets shouting... On 20-27 September strike I will try to (and would recommend to do it so) CUT OFF MY ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION. (I´ve been thinking about it and maybe just the frisge is the only one thing I will not be able to stop). CUT OFF DIRECT AND INDIRECT CAR EMISSIONS. NOT BUYING SOMETHING. SPEND THE TIME CARING FOR MY TREES (I am planting hundreds of oaks). ... and the last thing: SWITCHING OFF FROM THE INTERNET. We are generating an enormous amount of emissions just by using the internet (servers). WE ARE GUILTY OF THE SITUATION WE HAVE OUTSIDE. WE DROVE, FLEW, BOUGHT, WASTED ENERGY, WASTED FOOD, WASTED WATER, POLLUTED, TRASHED PLASTIC OUTDOORS... WE MADE THE SYSTEM OPERATE. THEY GAVE US WHAT WE ASKED THEM FOR. It´s very easy to avoid own responsibilities...
plenty of commentary - participation is on the up :)
I admire your steadfast attitude towards the need for desperate action. I'd love for someone in your position to analyze solar panels and wind turbines so that people would see the false gods that they are. You use more fossil fuels by building these than what they give in return.
you don't belong here Fuck OFF
You are simply wrong about this. Read some LCA studies on renewables. I have given details or EROEI and carbon payback periods to you already in another comment.
He is speaking reality
If drilling/fracking mining for fossil fuel oil and pipe installments and for whatever else is no more and we drive only electrical cars and all plastic made mandatory to recycle ♻️ and so on and so on WE STILL GOING TO DIE OFF IF PEOPLE DO NOT STOP EATING THE ANIMALS!!!!! FACT!!!
hope you highlight meghan and harry because they are doing so much damage to this cause. they are making fools of themselves with their totally woke attitude.

'emphasizes' ? The extinction rebellion social media manager is either american or has had to use spell check. Either way I am not impressed with this fake grassroots debacle.
Instead of protests you should go round putting solar, wind, hydrogen fuel cells on homes. Show the world what zero emission and energy independence looks like and that we don't have to have wars for oil or be slaves to corporate grids.
zero emissions in putting up solar panels, wind turbines and hydrogen fuel cells isn't possible!
@@weatherdevil9029 Its been possilble for 180 years. You just don't know about it and others don't know it because organzations like this one keep not talking about or doing it.

Wrong! Solar and wind are zero. Their electricity used to electrify water gerenates hydrogen and oxygen with zero emission. Have some humility and admit when you're wrong and ignorant. Then shut up get on it instead of arguing.
@@toddnorman1343 it takes manufacturing to make solar panels, which isn't zero emissions, idiot.

I am 71 and my plans are in my head and no-one is even slightly interested in getting to work on them. You better take notice of Roger and join in the movement or hope that he has it all wrong.

Glad to see them getting the message out to a set of people that may not be familiar with it. But yes they should fix their own travel arrangements, or even better just do a lot less of it. They are offsetting, which is probably better than nothing, but they do need to actually cut the emissions, not expect some poor people to do it for them.

I don't say is ineffective this bottom up movement. Maybe it will reach the critical mass for shifting the narrative, but how this shift will be accomplished is very difficult problem. You can rock the ship but the officers know how to move it. To say to accomplish this universal emotional connection toward collective survival, but we are still those humans that we managed to came to this point. We are all in cultural preferences that toke us to this collapse. Its something different to change the perspective or even political views, but too shift culture. In history this shifts in culture was happend through long periods of time. We live in industrial over production and over consumption culture. Its very important how we came to this cultural preferences. Its long civilisation evolution process. Civilisation also means evolution of knowledge, technology and art. Art is expression of reality through emotional experiences. So artists could be those to shift narrative, because they already are.
