Don't forget that massive polluters are the biggest problem so the best thing you can do is advocate for them to stop polluting. From OxFam: "The richest 1% (77 million people) were responsible for 16% of global consumption emissions in 2019-more than all car and road transport emissions. The richest 10% accounted for half (50%) of emissions."
Considering most grown Americans (worldwide top 10% richest is considered $93k net worth) fit into this category, how would it work to basically shut down an entire country in order to combat climate change?
@toychristopher Well Said !! 🙌🔥👌‼️
Sure thing! Now go to China and tell the communist party to stop polluting.
The phrase that made me feel less anxious was "do what you can and advocate for changes that allow the rest.".
voting in those who WILL do changes is the most important part of all of this.
She's right. Doing something is better than doing nothing. Not procreating is the best place to start. At least not until we make some major progress concerning climate change, the environment, and the justice system. Besides practicing antinatalism, the less money we put in the elitists pockets the better. Whether it be stop driving/flying, drive/fly less, be vegan or vegetarian, eat less meat, go organic/NONGMO/non palm oil, vote for climate aware politicians, ect... We have to be willing to make some sacrifices for the greater good. For a future we won't be a part of. We have to be that empathetic.
Switching to a plant based diet is a curious omission from the list. We eat three times a day. Not having animal products on our plate, which are absurdly land, water usage, and omission intensive is a huge deal!
💯 ❤
Hear hear! I switched to vegan about a year ago, never felt better and knowing it helps the planet makes it even better.
@carollund8251 better for the animals aswell! Too often we don't consider their interests.
@@MrTheoptimiser Yes indeed..My daughter went to an animal farm and fell in love with a baby calf. She came home and told me she never wanted to eat meat again. The cruelty is sickening. We always ate very little meat anyway, but now we have cut it all out. I used to think there would be nothing wrong with eggs and milk though but now I realize what a big impact those industries have on the environment . And the animals that give us the milk and eggs suffer anyway, poor chickens spend their whole lives locked in boxes, it is just terrible.
@carollund8251 thanks for being on the right said of history. Bless your daughter to highlight that injustice, and bless you for accepting it! 💚
As a Global Community, Nobody Should Except Any Crisis As a Norm !!!! We Created This Disaster, We Can Fix It !!!!
And We Can Fix It, Long Before 2050 !!!!

I've trying to get my town to plant more Trees. Especially in all the vacant areas.
Yeah I think we have to work together to prevent yellow stone eruption and we have to harness its energy fast before it destroys all of us that’s why we need to advance our technology

Hey. I cleanup our neighborhood so it doesn't get flushed into the RIVER -> OCEAN. Then into RECYCLE Bins then to the RECYCLING Companies.
Did ya know Aluminum can RECYCLED INDEFINITELY? So recycle those Aluminum products as much as you can.
While all of these are of course great and do help the environment in general, I want to point out that none of these are directly related to climate change.
Climate change is about CO2, trash in the ocean and lack of recycling are completely different environmental problems.
Even planting trees is not really relevant to the climate, absorbing ~25kg per year (probably), but only as long it's growing and that means the average American would need to plant over 500 trees.
Trees are still good for a number of reasons and they do something for sure, but the main focus right now has to be on removing the CO2 sources, coal, oil and gas.
The biggest action an individual can take is to have less children. The second best thing is adopting a plant-based diet.
You are fabulous. Thank you for your Voice.
Please have one less child (if you plan to have two, have one) or don't have children if it is not something you can't live without. One less person is a bigger impact than all the composting, recycling, solar panels, that I and others do. It's not politically correct but having fewer people is the most efficient impactful thing we can do
I live in the woods and it still feels hopeless kinda scared to protest again because last time my friend got crippled for life and now we are in a lengthy legal battle on false charges I've been calling my senator almost everyday for 5 years

Good video keep up the good work
Great video!
I feel like the "You can't do anything"-mindset is often a self-serving lie in order to not feel bad for not doing anything.
But you can do something!
There is two versions, the "you can't do anything at all", which is just completely wrong and also the "you can't do anything but activism" which is very popular in some young leftist circles but also completely wrong.
If you have the resources to do activism, you most likely also have the resources to change your personal behavior.
This video is perfect in telling that everyone can help by BOTH changing their own behavior AND voting/activism to change the broader political landscape.
And it doesn't have to be difficult. The three main CO2 sources are:
1) Burning of coal (mostly for electricity)
2) Burning of oil (mostly in form of gas for cars)
3) Burning of natural gas (mostly for heating)
YOU can curb this by
1) Switching to renewable energy providers
2) Taking bus, bike, train etc or switching to an EV (#1 applies with EVs, they have to be charged with renewable electricity)
3) Heating less, for example through insulation, swapping to renewable heating (most likely a heat pump)
If you read this comment and you can do any of these: Do them now!
Now that's a woman who I can get behind and love. She thinks just like me on this. I can't stand doomers. If you think its over than just go underneath the dirt and stay there. Your in the way of the society and the train
❤❤
But no one says anything about rockets going through the ozone making large holes and electric cars we don't have the power source for or getting rid of the batteries of the electric cars
Stop deforestation, plant trees, ride more bycicles!!!
Climate changes. Always has. Always will. That’s an indisputable fact. Until China and India at least feign to change how they dispose of their waste, what we do won’t even move the needle. Mankind is better at adapting to environmental change than stopping it.
Imagine you emitt 1.70+ % of global emission. (Philippines) and you reduce your emission by half. It still dont give a dent in total global emissions, and rich countries still emitting more.. i think its useless
Do nothing. Don’t fly, don’t drive, don’t eat etc.
No - we can make cheaper fuels to compete with bloated , top heavy Big Oil and better and more economical and efficient engines and devices .
I am patenting an Oxygen Emitting Engine to counteract pollution and restore our air

Is this a serious article?
Let me see you start changing your behavior by reusing plastics, such as plastic silverwares and bottles and bags.
I will wait.
"Buy an EV"
"What about all of the finite minerals that have to be mined to make the batteries for the EVs and the extra beefed up transfer cables needed to charge all of these EVs? What is the environmental impact of doing that?"

"Adopt a plant based diet, too."
What we can also do to stop prevent yellow stone eruption 🌋
Natural Climate changes and Anthropogenic ones are different,and Yellowstone won't erupt in any time soon or in this decade or century,so......... Climate change denialism sucks
Go vegan ❤
Yes we can slow it down slightly and prolong the impending post-apocalyptic nightmare.
1:29 It’s not useless to do anything, it’s just so insignificant to the level of utterly uselessness and offset by whatever actually happened upstream at the source. In case you don’t understand, most people aren’t even capable of doing anything to improve, like 9/10 of all people, because they are already living in such constraints that so little they can change, actually most of them need even more just to survive properly. If you can do x amount to help, likely you are one of the 1% can do that.
Can volcanologist prevent violent eruption at yellow stone with extreme projects that can stop its eruption but how will this ever work
@@DamianMonroig530 So what do you want to say? A downstream consumer can’t do anything except just live his/her life as usual? Yes good to know someone agrees with me.
Well I’m saying how we can prevent and eruption at yellow stone with a clean energy project
@@DamianMonroig530Climate change denialism 🙄🥱
climate change kek
And by the way, stop making propaganda, don’t blame people. It’s the sources need to be corrected. Unfortunately likely you can’t even comprehend what actually need to be to done.
Systemic change is needed!❤ Don't blame average folks, though we should participate too,but making us the cause of all bad is nah.....
@@EnvironmentalAvocado777 that’s what I said, literally..
@@LittleRadicalThinker I know🙃🙂🙃
If you do nothing, nothing will change. We can blame big oil and other industries for climate change, but that doesn’t mean we can’t and shouldn’t do anything about it. There are so many things that the average person can do to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The more people that do it, the more people will follow. We vote with our dollars. We as the consumer have more power than you think. And as mentioned in the video, these efforts can help promote change both directly and indirectly.
@@rylans.5365 what I mean is we need to do something meaningful instead. You need to know what actually need to be done first. Given that even some scientists are misled, real science need to be in place. It’s out there already actually, it’s just so hard for fight for politicians’ attention to get anything done.
