Three of the most significant greenhouse gases contributing to global heating - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - reached new record highs again last year, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Global CO2 levels are now over 50% higher than they were before mass industrialization, due to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and livestock agriculture. Meanwhile, climate scientists continue to raise alarm over the catastrophic impacts of rising temperatures in Antarctica after researchers in 2022 recorded the largest hike in temperature ever measured in the coldest region on Earth. "All of these records that are being broken should be absolutely no surprise to the public," says NASA climate scientist Peter Kalmus, speaking with Democracy Now! in his personal capacity and not on behalf of the agency. "The cause is the fossil fuel industry. The only way out of this heat nightmare is to end the fossil fuel industry." Kalmus also discusses Monday's solar eclipse across much of North America, saying the celestial event should cause introspection about humanity's place in the universe and lead to better stewardship of the planet. "We live on a very fragile and beautiful rock in space, the only place we know in the cosmos to support life," he says.

Amy got so swept up in the eclipse mania that the poor scientist didn't have a decent shot at talking about the actual topic at hand. Shes so great and professional in every other situation so I give it a pass and the scientist did do a good job with the time he had. Keep raising the issue!
I'll give her a pass, too. After all these months reporting on Gaza and climate breakdown, one has to want to take a few minutes to just talk about something amazing but non-alarming.
It's kind of smart actually. It reminds people to get excited about science and the natural world.
I feel so bad for this scientist trying to talk about climate change while Amy puts on the glasses
Arrested for what? Protesting or eco-terrorism? Pretty much everything he could have said has been said before. 12:18 "We should... end the fossil fuel industry" is what every environmentalist should agree on, if they don't already.
@@sandal_thong8631That is what leads to a second dark age. The level of ignorance and stupidity is astonishing. There is no alternative. Fossil fuels ended extreme poverty and allowed for free market capitalism. We are not going back even if it leads to death. Mankind cannot afford to listen to idiots.
I hate so much when guests get cut off.
This was not a good interview Amy. Take him in one more time and give him space to explain his views more thoroughly. Kindly.
A few oligarchs shouldn’t own and control the means of production, distribution and exchange. Workers make America run, workers should run America.🏴🇺🇸
The people are too d m b to have control . Only care about football
@@jonq8714 I have no idea what you responding to because YT deleted it
Solidarity forever ✊
Seize the means.
That's like saying the patient's should be running the mental hospital.
incredible interview .. his frustration is palpable - our rage is justified.
Amy... sorry, but I would rather have heard Peter talk more about the seriousness of climate change, the CEO's with the most power on the planet energizing disinformation and the society shaping forces of marketing and who gets access to the media.
this
He said we need to end the fossil fuel industry. What more can he say? Unfortunately, he only mentioned solar and wind, so he may be delusional that those could take up the slack. Nuclear, geothermal and hydropower are essentially free of greenhouse gas emission in electrical generation other than concrete construction, mining for resources, and decomposing vegetation underwater.
The point is not to "take up the slack" which just leads to ecological overshoot, but to downshift the total amount of energy necessary to sustain civilization. @@sandal_thong8631
I guess you’ll have to figure out how to get 3 billion Chinese and Indians to go green. There’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. Even if we’re zero it wouldn’t make a difference whatsoever. Just wait until Africa and S. American ramp up their industrialization. We move our industry there in the name of climate change, and they have no rules.
@@toadsauce8091 the US is one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels per capita annually (eclipsed only by the gulf states, saudi arabia, and other city-states and/or petrostates). the US consumes approx. 2.5x more fossil fuels per person compared to china, and over 10x that of india.
and your characterization of chinese energy generation is literally *the exact opposite* of reality. china has the single largest renewable generation capacity globally (over 3x that of the US). they have the single fastest growing renewable energy sector (with growth outpacing either fossil fuel or nuclear infrastructure) in the world. they are the single largest producer and consumer of solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric infrastructure, etc. china accounts for ~50% of all renewable investments made annually. the US is the one that needs to figure shit out
Amy, a climate suitable for human life and civilization overarches and underlies ALL other issues and everything else we care about. It deserved more time.
Rich people would rather die rich than live poor.
Yep and they want you gone first
Who do you think high energy prices, high food prices and high commuting costs effects the most ? The middle class eco loons don't give on jot for the poor .....
They are total ghouls that rather see people die before their stock values drop.
@@ossianx8752 Exactly. I am poor, and no one cares. Last week, I did errands. A Caucasian, homeless, woman asked a Caucasian guy for money to eat, and he kept on walking. When she asked me, I gave her a dollar. I had six dollars. The irony is, most homeless people are also/still brainwashed to take advantage and not care about themselves. I've gotten disrespected, even by homeless people, and most of them are/were males. Humanity is still getting worse in so many controlled/negative/fake ways.

Bro can we please talk about climate change and recognize that things are so locked in. And they’re trying to expand right now
Don't look up! This interview represents why the media is failing
Not to mention all the fuel being burnt by the Military Industrial Complex 😢
This was borderline difficult to watch. I usually appreciate Amy's interviews, but she went on with inane banalities like eclipse glasses for pets and you could tell he has a message... which she has to cut short.
I'm not given to conspiratorial thinking, but it feels kind of gross to have his last desperate words about mass media distracting from and disinforming on the impending climate doom get cut off due to lack of time on an independent news outlet. It felt calculated. I'm a firm believer in never attributing to malice that which can easily be explained by ignorance, but damn man. She would know better than that. She needs to get that guy back on and give him a longer form interview that he can lead the conversation.
She totally did that on purpose. Dunno why. That was asinine
I think you're not too far off the mark with your thinking. Peter is forever being put on the spot, interrupted, asked to discuss something irrelevant for someone else's entertainment....
Kudos for naming names in the fossil fuel industry. In order for accountability to be more than a slim chance, naming names is a ke step.
He is, of course, totally correct! This system has to change, or we won’t survive! And we’ll take out billions of other lives too. Just to line the greedy, selfish, pockets of a few individuals. Total madness!
I'm glad NASA doesn't insist on muzzling their employees.
No time and money for environmental issues! Wars are expensive!!!
🌍SAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL PLANET!🌏
.. from capitalist exploitation!
Lithium mines are killing the planet
Green New Deal is money laundering
The rich they don't care about the planet
Are you willing to pay the real costs for a clean environment?
@@MattBuild4 yes yes yes parasite!!!
Nah, the problem is overshoot. Too many people consuming too many resources. Technology cannot solve our crisis which got us into this mess in the first place.
Why did you waste over half his time talking about The Eclipse...a minor phenomenon with no effect on climate change?
To get peoples attention
Maybe if media could clue in that climate is the symptom, but it’s the economy that is the problem. So talking to weather experts, while economists pretend it’s outside their purview (because “the economy occurs indoors”) might be an example of journalistic failure.
Appreciate all your efforts on the Climate Dr. Kalmus and Democracy Now. Maybe avoid mixing unrelated subject for the guest in the future. We were probably all a little frustrated by the non-sequitur. It's like folks can't stop themselves from getting overly excited about an eclipse.
Why are they funding w ar s then
The same reason they are funding fossil fuels.
Seems to be the same group of people.
War also contributes to climate change, jets and tanks and troop ships all use tons of fossil fuels.
"There is no business, like the war business!"
That is the big question for me. Maybe they will tell you in their next breath that wars are good for the inviourment?
Global heating is also what happens to the atmosphere when wars are raging, and that’s a fact. 😢
Yes, wars contribute a significant amount to climate change.
Forbes put out an article in like 08 bragging about how many more barrels we burn per soldier then compared to the Vietnam War. That's when it clicked with me that the old models are like 50 yrs off because of the Bush wars. Very depressing because we could have had Gore - who's still out here trying to raise awareness.
That's really a stupid comment

@@bobchris9423 Citation for what?
Sad she lost valuable time , half of the interview , with this very knowledgeable and interesting guest. Even the guest said to her he would like to talk about climate change.
What was said that hasn't been said countless times before? And this guy was saying solar and wind will solve the energy crisis and get us off fossil fuels, like the delusional enviros said in 2000. Apparently hydropower, geothermal and nuclear aren't on the table.
These oil expects should be getting effing arrested for ecoterrorism
Yes, plus they're making the planet uninhabitable, which is a human rights violation.
What about pets looking at the Sun during a solar eclipse? That's the stupidest question I've ever heard. A cat or a dog would never purposely look at the Sun and they have no idea what a solar eclipse is. People's attention should be on climate change, especially with such elevated ocean temperatures influencing air temperatures in 2023/2024.
Please bring him back on to continue the conversation, without the interruptions.
We are so dumb.
As more people raise out of poverty our consumprtion will increase, our pollution will crease, and our use of resources will increase. As we override the limitations of the local ecology and inport more, humans' ability to continue to grow in numbers will continue. It has always been due to limitations that has kept humans numbers down.
Once we end all that plagues humanity and ends life early humans may not survive.
Thanks for giving Peter the space to express his rightful despair and anger, Amy....
i personally really dont like how short these always are and how the guests always get cut off to end when so much has still not been said.
i wish these were long form that are then cut up and clipped together to form a short version.
❤️ you Amy!! I’ve been watching DN since I was in high school and it was on our local public access station before school ~2001. I credit you and your team for opening my eyes and seeing the how things really are… it’s great to see you still able to get excited and smiling even after all the terrible truths you share with us after all these years.
Peter is one of the few people I have heard talk about global warming and the global implications that seem to share my sense of alarm and urgency over the crisis we are now in.
We have chosen to disregard Nature's warnings. The global migration crisis began already a decade ago, yet we focus on the petty political power struggles reactively instead of addressing the real causes proactively. We refuse to adjust, but it's not a choice, really. Nature will ensure that we eventually comply... ultimately at the expense of billions of humans, if necessary.
lovely word salad
I'd check out Paul Beckwith - he's a professor in Ottowa. He's pretty depressing to watch but he's been about 10 years ahead of everyone in discussing what's happening with the jet streams and ocean currents etc. He doesn't get nearly enough support.
No idea who else you listen to, of course, but Kevin Anderson is always great! Best all-round source of reliable scientific climate info is Alex Smith's Radio EcoShock. Fantastic interviews for lay people with many different scientists, mostly about their recent publications. Occasionally something else, like a chat with Paul Beckwith for more of an overview perspective, for example.
Paul Beckwith (as a friend mentioned before), Guy McPherson are IMO best info on YT
Some scientist like Tim Lenton, Stefan Rahmstorf, Kevin Anderson are interesting on the subject - even if they won't tell you the worst.
Not Guy McPherson, no. He's wrong on most points. Predicted "no humans alive in ten years" several decades ago. As The Original Doomer, his take has now replaced denialist misinformation, basically. Not his doing, but this is not where you want to go.
Kevin really is creme de la creme, but as I noted, the breath of scientists and specific topics on Radio EcoShock is incomparable to any other source out there that I'm aware of.
“I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.”
- Sultan Al Jaber, President of COP 28, also CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
Mukhtar Babayev will be the president for COP 29; he is also a former executive of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijian Republic.
Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.
Personally, I think we should enjoy the interglacial period.
I respect your comment except for the old trope-'enjoy it while you can'. That is not of any help. If people can't pull their socks up then they don't belong on the field.
@@bluegold21 >> Your assumption is that all problems have solutions…or have solutions that aren’t more evil than the problems they purport to solve. Crisis is ever the rallying cry of the rallying cry of the tyrant.
@@jaybee9269 technically scientifically speaking we are still in an ice age as there is ice at the poles.
I moved about 200 miles from the ocean like 6 years ago. I'm no longer plagued with flood nightmares... 😂
this is like The Twilight Zone episode The Midnight Sun
Exactly how does paying more taxes change the weather??
SSHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Changing infrastructure to allow us to stop emitting fossil fuels costs money. Burning fossil fuels changes the weather.
Amy what on earth was this line of questioning?
I want more time with this guy. Please bring him back in the future.
That was TERRIBLE, Amy. How disappointing!
solar is the cheapest it has ever been, less than $500 gets you hundreds of watts of clean power. but people in the usa are so cheap and so well groomed to keep using their oil-drenched wall outlets and wait for someone in power to do the work for them. it's up to YOU not THEM to snap out of it and try small solar. having solar on your property is your public VOTE for a sustainable earth. those without solar, expect us.
PV solar panels have been around 50 cents per watt for some time. A few hundred watts of solar power is useless. I have 22,000 watts of solar and 36,000 of wind power. I do live off-grid so I don't have a choice.
@@ChrisHarding-lk3jj depends what you want to do with it
Humanity is doomed.
And our fellow earthlings can’t wait!!
If they manage to cool off earth, yes we all die with no food.
You used to much time talking about the Eclipse and didn't leave enough time for the Environment. The title of this should have been the Eclipse not about the environment
Not much new to be said, unless you hadn't heard before that the fossil fuel industry needs to be shut down. And his energy policy was feckless.
Amy… Usually I love your reporting, but really, climate change is more important than some silly astronomical thing.
To say that any and all technological/geoengineering solutions are irrelevant and only a distraction is something I profoundly disagree with. Do big oil companies try to lie or downplay the effects of their polluting? Sure, but that doesn't mean all technological solutions are bad or not worth trying. Carbon capture is not a terrible idea. Advances in green hydrogen and nuclear power (in particular nuclear fusion) is not a bad thing in addition to solar, wind etc. To just say, end all fossil fuel industries, without having solid alternatives in place, is not plausible or realistic. Obviously green energy has come a long way, but it's not yet enough to power the whole earth and entire industries still need to transition from reliance on fossil fuels. I would entirely support ending subsidies to fossil fuel companies and further incentivizing green advancements and adoption of new technologies and energy sources but it doesn't happen over night
End pollution Now! Save our planet.
😂😂😂
It's too late to avoid some terrible impacts already. But it's not too late to do what we can
When we begin to see average summer temperatures at 140 degrees causing millions of heat related deaths, complete crop failures across the globe leading to starvation in all countries, and a planet with little vegitation then and only then will something be done and it will be too late, if it is not too late already.
Yes, we could already have a runaway greenhouse effect that will thaw the tundra and melt the ice caps of Greenland and West Antarctica to some new unknown stable state. Will it stop there or melt the ice cap of Eastern Antarctica too, bringing us to the climate of the dinosaurs?
The highest recorded temperature on Earth was recorded in 1913.
Not going to save the planet just switching from an extractive economy based on oil to one based on minerals. We have to have an economy that doesn't deplete the planets resources.
Yeah, mineral based economy will also only become sustainable, if we ramp up recycling of almost everything we use to 100%. This is hard for things like car tires or clothes, which have wear and you can't put back all the material into a planned loop, even if all people cared about the environment. So things like this have to be made from biodegradable materials.
@halphantom2274 I remember someone saying if go back to solid as opposed to air filled tires, it would reduce waste, but mass transit is a better solution.
@@timmoore3188 , TRAINS! lol. Yeah, nothing beats the low friction of steel on steel.
@halphantom2274 yes!
What in the world. ....? Poor Peter. He is only trying to do what's right for our beautiful planet and sticking his neck out there and he's forever being put on the spot, interrupted, asked to discuss something irrelevant for someone else's entertainment.....
I will pray for him. I don't know how he keeps his composure.
Mr. Nihad Awad, The leader of CAIR, The Council on American Islamic Relations, said he was happy about the Hamas terror attacks of Oct 7th.
“The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege, the walls of the concentration camp, on October 7. And yes, I WAS HAPPY to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land, which they were not allowed to walk in,”
why is your news coverage so short?
DN began before the Internet. By the time I started watching it it had what is basically it's daily, hour long format. It is also available on radio stations.
For UA-cam it's broken the format into several separate pieces.
The first section is the daily overview of the news.
Other sections, on various topics, follow adding up to an entire hour.
The full hour-long broadcast is on their website every day. They just post portions of the full hour in chopped-up segments on UA-cam.
Wish you let him talk more about the climate crisis, you could tell he had more to say
Do you think war could have an impact on the climate?
I am so sick of climate change deniers. I am 32 years old, and I have witnessed firsthand the change in average climate in my home country of the UK. We experienced the hottest temperatures ever recorded in London just 2 years ago, when the temperature reached 40c. Back when I was a child, a hot summer in the UK was considered to be anything above 25c, once we hit the 30s, it was considered a “heat wave”, and was a once in every few years occurrence, but this now happens every year. Christmases are now noticeably hotter too, we’ve had several Christmases in the last 5 years when the temperature has been >15c, which again, was unheard of when I was a child, when the temperatures would rarely go above 6c all of December.
It is truly terrifying to think of the future that awaits us. I sincerely hope those responsible are tried at for crimes against humanity.
Sorry, I don't find your 32 years life experience very impressive.
I am 77 years old and have lived in the same house and gardened, growing most of my own food, in the same location in Ohio for the last 54 years. I have seen hotter and colder spells over that time. The last two summers were the coolest I can remember.
@@jmrrpress so you’re going to ignore global trends of exponentially increasing temperatures because your particular locality isn’t as affected? This would be like me saying poverty isn’t an issue because everybody I know is rich.
As I said, London experienced the hottest temperature since records began just 2 years ago. Considering these records go back to the medieval period, this eclipses both yours and my lifetime combined.
Not to mention, every year we set new records for hottest average temperatures, and yet, people like you will still hand wave the issue because you are not personally impacted.
In another 10 years time you are going to be forced by reality to admit all this climate alarm is bogus. Or you have trained yourself to look at something else. Either way, trouble lies ahead. You have been lied to. You just dont know it yet but maybe one day you might accept that at least some of the alarm is unwarranted. You just need to become more skeptical. Even a little will make you feel better..
I have lived in Aberdeen Scotland for over 50 years, and it's still the most miserable wet coldest place as ever. Actually, people still tend to talk about how great the summer was in1976 was!
@@MrBallynally2 I tend not to be skeptical of empirical evidence my friend.
She just wasted half the interview on silly eclipse phenom! FFS
Not letting anyone if the hook, but no one mentions the dramatic changes required to stop burning hydrocarbons.
What do you mean, "not reporting"?
We all have been hearing this alarm for many decades.
Also, what's the use of plentiful crops if farmers can't use equipment to harvest it?
Farm equipment need fossil fuel to be able to work you know!
So, what's the plan?
we need to save the planet before its to late
Life has always thrived during warm periods and dies off when earth is cold.
Just go look at the paleo record. Plants thrive when co2 is above 1,000 ppm
This would have been a problem only if Air Conditioing was never invented. Since rich people can have ACs /AirCons running all time without the care for electricity bills, there is no climate crisis according to them.
If I'm not mistaken, it's going to take decades for the climate to catch up with what we've already done to the atmosphere. Even if we drop carbon / methane emissions to 0, we still have decades of warming ahead of us. That's not even counting when the permafrost in the arctic begins to thaw and decompose. That will add dramatically to greenhouse gas emissions and I don't think there's any way to stop it.
So just give up? We must resist defeatist arguments like that and keep trying!
@@sderoski1 I didn't say give up. I just meant that even if we do everything right, it's going to get worse before it gets better.
They say that the ozone depletion might have been made by CFCs put into the atmosphere a decade or more before the Montreal Protocol, so the same could be true of warming by GHGs. Maybe we could have passed the tipping point with runaway warming. Still there is a difference between 1°, 2°, 3°, etc. in terms of its affect on the environment and human civilization. I think one problem is convincing people that a sacrifice, like carbon taxes, would do anything to mitigate the problem.
@@Lardzor Good, I am glad you are not giving up. It is going to get much worse (for humans) but if we give up now, there will soon be no more humans.
"The CO2 is nearly meaningless as a "greenhouse gas"" I'm still laughing. When did Prager U grads get to be so bold?
I go one step further: the whole greenhouse gas theory is not a theory but a hypothesis whose underlying assumptions can't be proven. Not very scientific at all. But you wouldnt know that.
Look at a pie chart of atmospheric gases. Note the percentage of the CO2. Look up percentages of CO2 going back 100 million years. We’re at a low point. It has been lower but we’re still really low. CO2 was tin times higher in the past
@@MrBallynally2 Thousands of research studies and models that have been quite accurate for over 40 years proved the theory of man-made global warming is correct.
I would have to assume all of you in the series of comments are climate scientists and have reviewed the thousands of studies the 200 + internation IPCC team did to achieve a global consensus. If so can you please submit your research material to correct the overwhelming scientific consensus. Or you could folk with an uninformed opinions that helps justify your poor life choices that your children and grandchildren will inherit the consequences of.
Love you, Amy
Must all the wars in the world that are making the climate crisis worse? but what amazes me is that climate alarmists never seem to mention that.
A good start could be stopping all new Wells in any country but for this countries have to agree or other way out move to minimum oil consumption as fast as possible in developed countries
WARM =LIFE
COLD=DEATH
Fun fact: We ARE living during the Quaternary glaciation
My question is , how you will get rid of the lithium when batteries die?
I couldn't agree more. People with hybrid electric vehicles often drive more, not less. Work from home. Stop commuting 2-4 hours a day! Traffic jams suck!!
You don't, it's valuable, you re-use it. Look up Redwood recycling or LiCycle. As a note they get very few EV packs as they don't die easily so are recycle things like phone batteries until EV batteries start dying. This is the notion of stock vs flow, with fossil fuels it's a constant flow we dump into the atmosphere or landfills, around 20 billion tons per year.
Thank you for having this guest on! He’s so right that the public is asleep. After agreeing with all he’s said, we probably would just go on with our lives as usual for days, months, and years since climate change wouldn’t seem to affect us in our daily lives in the US…. Until it does, and then it’ll be too late.
Whaaaat???, but Treudoe said if we give him all our money, the climate would be saved. What happened? We're paying, why isn't the climate getting better??
The main point that no one seems to want to talk about is that green energy is more expensive and requires less people working. Those are two very real problems we have to figure out or no one is going to move forward on it. No one wants to pay more or repurchase a whole bunch of their current assets including governments and companies. the second major point is that even if we stopped all fossil fuel use right now it will be a substantial amount of time to remove said carbon therefore we definitely need to have plans in place to deal with flooding fires ect and that requires labor and money. That requires a strong economy. No country is going to want to lose its spot in the pecking order while they shuffle their entire system and you can see that playing out in all the superpower nations right now.
"The main point that no one seems to want to talk about is that green energy is more expensive and requires less people working." Actually, green energy is already cheaper and employs far more people than the fossil fuel industry.
@@karlwheatley1244 Oh well I love learning what sector is that? What is it that is produced? Are any of those companies listed in the sp500 then we can see their books and number of employees. Can you name one company to me here so that I can learn and maybe change my perspective.
@@Clamps-nn2pz Google "More people work in the energy sector today than in 2019, almost exclusively due to growth in clean energy, which now employs more workers than fossil fuels."
And try "Green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, a new study finds
Making a fast switch to cleaner renewable power could save trillions of dollars by 2050"
But next time, maybe search for yourself?
The guest is a NASA scientist so asking him about the eclipse seems fair. They should have given him more time and seperated the subjects into different videos.

The planet is grossly overpopulated and must be reduced by about 6 billion people
By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.
Plants thrive above 1000ppm!
Life thrives on a warm earth!!!
Keep educating!
So did you notice that those 99.96% of gases are DIATOMIC gases? N2, O2, Ar all less than 3, BUT CO2=3, CH4=5, N2O=3 .. keep digging, maybe you'll find out..

Some day people will realize that they can harvest the earth’s own geothermal dynamic energy and not have to rely on the sun shining or the wind blowing or the burning of fossil fuels to generate electricity.

I love you
I know, for your joy is more important than mine
If we wanted to save the world, we would all do this
And it would be sublime
Elevating us to Heaven on Earth
It is not happening now and would require a rebirth
To feel for another, and be happy for their smile
And to do a kind of favor, and let someone rest for a while
What is right about you that you do this
Making easy or lightning another load
We travel down life, but that makes a happier road
Wherever we are going, and whatever we do
The universe comes together, and so should me and you
Not a single couple, but everyone that we are
Should treat us all like the shining star
That is the source of love
Save the world

Every climate metric broke records in 2023 and its acceleratingly worse . Our UK government response is how well were doing .
Y'all didn't have to cut him off like that
when previous segments go a little long, the final segment has to suffer because they keep to a specific timeframe
but Americas wars have nothing to do with it so dont think that
So 350,00,000 can be raised and more to buy the fossil fuels industry perhaps by non profit world wide wrestling matches,NBA, NFL, NHL,and sale or rental of books and dvds. Not that dud not already concessions non profit sales could help quite a bit in 150,000 capacity stadiums. Also sale or rental of global warming themed books.

Para resolver a questao de emissoes abertas atmosfericas podemos fazer lucrar economias que emitem e economias que capturam. Mas a emissao aberta será dominada para nao causar transtornos atmosfericos e biologicos as celulas organicas.
Vao aprender a fazer isso.
Resolver isso é fácil. Moleza.
Fazer a resolucao ser executada é que "vai esquentar muitos miolos"( vai mexer nos pensamentos e logicas de decisoes) e "alvorocar muitas mesas"( ter reunioes administrativas para estudar e decidir fazer) e ainda " muita quebradeira e barulho nas cidades"( obras e investimentos de construcoes com ruidos de maquinas e trabalhadores ).
Esse gasoso vai alvoroçar.......... .
Unless you solve the aerosol masking effect (global dimming)
Cutting out fossil industries will
heat up the planet even faster.
I went vegan nine and a half years ago and my biggest regret is not having done it years sooner.
How do you know if someone is vegan? ... don't worry they will tell you ..... 🤣🤣🤣
@@ossianx8752 how do you know someone is anti vegan, don’t worry they’ll tell you.
@@piku5637intelligent people are anti vegan.
Filet mignon, prime rib, barbecue, fried chicken, bacon and eggs, beef jerky. Ham and cheese cheese cheese😅
@@piku5637 anti vegan= rational human being not starved of nutrients allowing for proper brain function.
people are aware. money makes the choice. nationalize oil industries.

Thank you
Biochar, polyculture, Green Dragon, carbon sequestration....NO!!! Oil, oil, oil.
The economies around the world will have to suffer before cleaner sources of energy are adopted I suspect.
I don't think the Earth should be blamed for the emissions, the true credit goes to each of us and our collective fossil fuel addiction. Addicts always seem to blame others for the problems and deny that they have personal responsibility. So it is with the human race. 😢
Petroleum based Parasitic Plague Phase aka 8.2 Billion 🔥🌍🔥
We could go to $6/gallon gasoline, which is similar to Europe. But both the companies and consumers resist. We saw examples of what happens to emissions and the atmosphere when transportation is disrupted: no commercial jets flew for a few days after 9/11, and people stayed home during a month or two of the pandemic in 2020.
If we do increase gas/carbon taxes, the public has to feel that it's really doing something to delay global warming. It is slightly unfair for the developed world to say they won't do anything unless the undeveloped world agrees, but you can't tax pollution in one place and not in another without people making a decision to relocate their businesses to the low-tax country.
The ignorance is overwhelming and absolutely unacceptable.
Think for your self. The internet is not the arbiter of truth. Neither is ANYONE on this channel
