"If we don't work together, we are going to die together" - Roger Hallam | Extinction Rebellion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Roger Hallam talks about how the October Rebellion is based on the "movement of movements" theme and why this focus is crucial to our success. In his inimitable direct yet larrikin style Roger emphasizes that now is the time for all of us to unite, to put any ideological differences between us into their proper context and to suspend any animosity towards others with different points of view. Or as Roger puts it, "We don't have time to be snotty". Solidarity, unity in diversity, compassion and love for all life... these are our antidotes to the massive climate and ecological crisis that confronts us.

Pay attention peeps the man is not mincing words. He said worker rights, gone, Animal rights gone, Minority rights gone. Basically failure is not an option. This is our last opportunity to stop the most dystopian near future you can possibly imagine.
Failure is not an option but is the most likely outcome anyway so smoke em if you got em!
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.
@@rotortiller1 the world is gonna end and u guys talk about weed... geezus
@@rotortiller1 Escaping into weed unless you need it to cope with ANY illnesses is understandable...i ran with drugs when the pain inside was crippling. But when we come down from the highs , we still hurt... Amazon Forests still burning and so on. The Arctic having Summer heats... If you can consume x drug and still be a part of the solutions XR and others are working on, G bless you , but if not pick the phone up, TALK WITH FRIENDS, Get support etc. ( I can understand the comment after yours) but aug 2019 call s upon us all to be extra compassionate. Love and support yourselves so you can love and support one another. The earth is dying... isn't that heartbreaking? Reaching out to our human family for clarity and poz actionl
Quote from LOST the TV show: "If we can't live together, then we're going to die alone."
Cameron Crowhurst oooooh Thank you for letting us know that and hes taking the credit for it because he didn’t even mention that 😕
Sorry cave dewlers knew this well before a TV show.
It gives the phrase "everything dies" a whole new meaning.
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.
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.
United we stand, divided we fall....more true now than ever. We either live it or it will be written on our collective grave stone as why we failed
aquaponics who will write it though...? 😕
@Treesa Green good question, life has survived 5 previous mass extinctions, so I guess whom ever comes after....I hope
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
The truth will set us free, but first it will make us furious.

The minute it is publicly recognized that the future is screwed, the whole thing will fall apart. It's barely holding together now.
Abrupt climate change/ecological breakdown is the ultimate possible cause of withdrawal of investment, way worse than the great depression of 1929. Try to imagine the poverty, the soup kitchens, the famine and violence ahead. Basic services, utilities cut off.

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.
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.

I agree.. in times like these we need to stand together strong. There is no other way...
What? And all hold hands? There is no way to be strong alone? Bullshit! Alone people can be strong.
i think its way too late... it will be like a chain reaction and all goes to shit...
Good luck getting the six billion people who do not live in the Western World on board, they are only now starting to get the Maslov Big Three nailed down.
You have got to imagine Roger Hallam trying to persuade people in the UK in the 1920's to bring industrialisation to a halt to give his narrative perspective for around six billion people, he has no chance, untill they start to feel the effects of their own fossil fuel orgy.
Hallam is a communist, who is using Climate Change as his platform.
Communism and fascism are two sides of the same coin.
I have two questions for you: 1) do you even know what "stand together strong" means, and 2) what do you think standing together strong is going to accomplish?
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.
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...
It's my understanding that the Amazon rain forest is not catching fire. It's my understanding that the wealthier Brazilians who, unfortunately, own the Amazon rain forest are burning large areas of it to clear land for more beef production to make more wealth for themselves. But do fact check me and inform everybody of the real details because I don't follow that stuff.
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.
my group slogan is I AM ONE- WE ARE MANY
My group slogan is. Climate emergency is BULLSHIT, do some research!
Unlimited solar, tidal and hydrogen in the oceans and rain, free wind. People just need the tools access what's all around them.
Windmills is destruktiv, waste of resouces, not reliable production of power, kill more species, more plastic pollution, with no wind...heavy polluting gas-turbines are started 6 times more pollution then nucklear powerplants
@@Turbo7334 Some of that is true - for large corporate based Wind turbines, but I am talking about small turbines that protect birds, on every building/home on the planet, with solar, and hydrogen fuel cells, and tearing down all grids. Stop arguing with me and help me do it!
Please, does anyone have a link to the report he’s talking about in the beginning?
This is the committee: www.theccc.org.uk/
They've done a lot of reports, but I think the one he is referring to is this: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/net-zero-technical-report/
@xxwookey Thanks, but that’s not the one. I want to read the one about climate sensitivity, showing 5*C locked-in at 560 ppm in 20-30 yrs.
Listen to Guy McPherson if you want to know what is really going on.
@Johnny Thanks for the tip. I don’t quite trust McPherson though...
@@magicforest71 McPherson talks a lot of crap, sadly. Even Paul Beckwith, a fellow Canadian, who is a long way from optimistic on this subject, thinks McPherson is just talking doom as a business model and not interested in actually getting to the scientific truth. He really is an extremist, in denial about the facts, who can be ignored.
AMAZON going going gone - BEES going - PHYTO PLANCTON going then OXYGEN going - marine life going - just to name a few
the Amazon rainforest is not on fire by accident, it is being set on fire fire in majority part for cattle production for international consumption. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of ocean acidification which leads to less phyto plancton
Inconvenience now or Extinction later. !!! REBEL FOR LIFE !!!
Have fun. People like you just make me want to pollute more.
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.
Very similar views Tony, hope (and work) for the best, but expect (and prepare for) the worst.
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.
If it's such an emergency , why haven't you lot all gone vegan yet ? Why doesn't XR denounce animal agriculture?
The IPCC is clear that it's the number one thing we can each do .
There's no point demonstrating in the streets if you aren't prepared to take personal responsibility and change yourself.
It's all hands on deck apparently , so you'd best go vegan today .
Completely agree. Worldwide veganism needs to happen.

Shut down the factories etc, incremental change by making people vegan one person at a time won't work obviously with the time we have.
@@bo8504 we need to do both, there are no excuses. The culture of plant-based nutrition needs to emerge and become accepted within 6-10 years, otherwise people will revolt against the sense and logic. Therefore everyone who takes this crisis seriously needs to get on board and walk the talk. Once a vegan, it is much more liberating and authentic to do outreach for that, plus you make a real difference.
@@bo8504 Veganism is a powerful ideology but it has a powerful opposition. Change could happen fast but we need a shift in conciousnes and that starts with us .
In just the last few years veganism has grown massively and now with the fact that adopting a vegan diet is by far the biggest thing you can do, as per the IPCC report , more environmentally conscious people will be joining .
Your actions really do matter , so go vegan
Im joining This group and you should do it too
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.

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.
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).

BTW, I'm not a spokesperson for this channel - just a random XR supporter :)
You don't realize it but this dude got the answer, people just got to start working it out.
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 is really is no shortage of things to be fixing, once you've worked out that this matters to you.
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.
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.
I am sure that will come up, too. Lots of sympathizers! Step by step
Change is hard, most can't handle the truth. Told U. REVOLUTION is coming one way or another.
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
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?
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.

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.
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.
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

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?
I don't know the climate sensitivity 5.0 degrees new estimate source and I find Roger very annoying that way. I'm definitely about to search that. If the climate sensitivity 5.0 degrees turns out to be correct that'll be the equilibrium climate sensitivity which will play out over 300 years. It's 75% of that (3.8 degrees) that plays out over 100 years but 50% (2.5 degrees) plays out over just 20 years. The timing is determined by the oceans mixing. Earth has oceans, fact check me on that in case I'm fibbing about the oceans existing.
@@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.

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.
Except that it really IS NOT "5 degrees locked in” because the ECS ocean time scale is 2,000 years. Common knowledge used by all scientists from Jim Hansen down. So what's "locked in" is about 60% (100 years effect) so 5 * 60% = 3 degrees. And then another 25% another 1.25 degrees, over another 300 years. So that's what they correctly call "A (very) little knowledge is a dangerous thing" for "@sbeast64" and perhaps or perhaps not for video Roger because I'll never know whether he's ignorant and honest or he's savvy and dishonest (just like Richard Lindzen, Will Happer, Knappenberger, Michaels, Irish Connellys, Willy Soon et al), will I ? There's no possible way that I can ever know whether video Roger is dishonest because he actually knows that humans have a couple hundred years to stop it at 60%-70% of the proposed 5 degrees. Is there?

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.
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

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.
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
"Some very intelligent professional people have told me point blank that they think climate change is bunk". Pig-ignorant fuckwit.
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.

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]"

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!

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.

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.

Buy a decomissioned coal fired power plant and convert it to burn hydrogen. Turn an entire town to zero instead of advocating for changing a few lightbulbs that still run on coal.
So where will the hydrogen come from to run the plant?
@@johnschofield3586 From solar and wind at the site, or from farmers who use solar and wind to electrify water. Instead of bio fuels they could be selling hydrogen to gas staions and power plants, run equipment, and still grow food.
That makes some sense. Presumably the benefit of converting electricity to hydrogen then back to electricity is so that you can store the hydrogen in order to produce electricity when there isn't any sun or wind. This conversion is pretty inefficient, but it does help solve the storage issue.
@@johnschofield3586 Hydrogen makes solar and wind consistent and can be used anytime like natural gas. It can be stored in carbon fiber tanks. Use the extra sun and wind of summer to make hydrogen for the winter. We are not dying from efficiency but pollution. Solar wind and hydrogen and zero and abundant so it wouldn't matter if you wasted them.
