The problem is not the crisis.
The problem is that no one stands up to this crisis.
I will 16 years laters

I’m not good at giving ideas but we should try a lot harder to do these things.
Don’t hate me please
-plant trees in a place it protected so it can’t be cut down
-maybe giant solar stations in deserts.
-Cut down on the amount of plastic packaging, equipment etc
-animal breeding in a place they can’t be hunted
There’s enough space on earth for all these things to take place. I like you giant solar stations idea, it would make good use of the Sahara desert since it gets so much sun. I think the problem would be transferring the energy from those panels to different cities. Oh shit, imagine if cities were built near those sites and people went there for energy in the same way we go to different counties for particular resources
1:05 - When a forest is lost anywhere, people feel it everywhere
wow such a nice quote thanks for the video to restore nature
Forests are fundamentally lost to human overpopulation, including a lot of logging and road building for "green" wind turbines. This video is completely naive and exists in a virtual world of perfect people with no greed or excessive births.
Be very ware when people try to propose such rapid magic solutions. Most of the time they are still all dependent on technology and mostly by people with the capital and money to do so.
Maya Lilly could speak about the biophysical limits, which we as a species have well ignored for eons, and we now are 8 billion in complete Overshoot. Heading for collapse
as indicated by hard-science. We knew well decades ago, especially in poor countries that trees must be saved. However that did not help climate change. And lovely
quotes dont change the world. Heat Does.
I got through my project in just 10 min. Even my mom was surprised😄😄
Wot?!
THIS VIDEO IS SOOOOOOOOOOOO UNDERRATED!!
It gave me such many ideas!
For real
With an extra 220,000 being added to global population every day there is extra pressure upon land resources for innumerable reasons. Meanwhile vast tracts of the Arctic/Canada/Alaska tundra are melting turning forests into lakes, yet still there is no global plan to reforest these regions with suitable trees & vegetation to combat rising greenhouse gas accumulations.
You must realize that this video is utterly naive about overpopulation. It's pie in the sky feel-good stuff. At least she's not pushing massive wind energy sprawl and pretending it's just a few white specks on hillsides with happy cows grazing.
Next time you have a burger, just think about how many trees it cost
i GOT THROUGH A ONLINE SCHOOL HOMEWORK !!!!
Bruh I got brought here because of online school 😔
Africa Waters I’m jere cuz of online school to
GOOD!
lmaooo samee :((
Same
same
We can all do it if we just try! Every single one of you can make a big difference!!! ✊ 👮♀️👷🏻♀️🧕🧑🏻🌾👨🏻💻👩🏻💼👩🏻🔬
Love this video even though it would take a gigantic effort to get us even 1/3 of the rapid change we need to avoid catastrophic climate disasters and collapse of our environment, our society and our economy. Governments and global organizations must do their part to end massive industrial pollution, factory farms, endless waste and endless wars! Never give up, never give in. #WeCanSolveThis! But only if enough of us are willing to sacrifice, protest and embrace austerity, degrowth and a simpler, cleaner lifestyle. How likely is that?
I think the biggest problem is pessimism.
@@lwgg742 but the pessimism is understandable, the amount of time and money will be incredible. Its possible but it would risk millions losing their jobs in these industries
@@yesno9860 It’s capitalism vs the future of our planet... I choose the future of the planet. No earth means money has no value anyways. Also, can’t new jobs be created in regard to fighting global warming? People could be hired to help with the technical jobs that come with cleaning and restoring forests, and people could also be hired to do the ground work. There’s green architecture buildings such as the “Tao Zhou Yin Yuan” building in Taiwan which helps remove 400 tons of carbon dioxide yearly, its expensive but its the work that needs to be done. I agree that the costs of everything would be expensive, but if the money doesn’t go towards saving the planet, what is it really going towards?
To think trees could save us as well as mangroves. I had no idea about coastal areas.
Thank you 😊
I am helping to organise a Northern Ireland's first Climate festival - we would like to play a number of climate related videos throughout the event. May we have permission to play this video of yours at our event?
Thank you. Rebecca Jane.
Thankyou!
Lately, I’m unable to see a coastline or watch young people moving about without the specter of global warming souring the scene. I’m no doomsday prophet, but even best case scenarios put their future in jeopardy. We’re approaching a situation where, if the worst case scenario manifests, a population bottleneck (such as occurred 74,000+ years ago) may force our species to evolve at breakneck speed. Intelligence and adaptability will be the primary criteria for defining the future, much as it was after Toba blew.
Every one talks about big business doing something. What if farmers planted trees on there fence lines? I have seen cedar trees do well in Oklahoma as wind brakes and pine trees grow like weeds in Alabama!
Oh ...thank God
No one wants to acknowledge the real solution but we all know it. There are too many people for the earth to support :(
i agree with u
It's not just a matter of people, its how those people are living: Unsustainably
Grow trees everyone to lower carbon dioxide. It's an elementary scientific fact that trees consume carbon dioxide from air and convert it to oxygen. The people and businesses that cut down trees have to reforest. That's the easiest solution.
its really not, do you know how many trees we would have to plant to even have a slight effect on global warming? It's completely impractical.
Solution plants more trees and choose the trees release more Co 2 oxygen. Plant a Trees in the empty land like dessert land and that can balance Co 2 to prevent iceberg melting
MAYALINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HIHIHIHA
-pog-
We can do this now
If you're looking for a way to help the environment you can switch to ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees.
0:3 what Degrowth
How do you know what the balance is supposed to be right now.
They have data from ground that shows the level of ppm years ago before the industrial revolution (and even before).
Sorry if i didn't explain it well, english isn't my native language. But based on what i said you could do some research and find interesting videos :)
I agree with your evaluation of the past but if we turn the clock back by changing agricultural land back in to forests this would result
in starvation of many people.
China reduced its population by limiting the number of babies a woman can have to two. this is what the world needs now.
This policy can only be in forced in a totalitarian state so could only be introduced by persuasion and agreement in the West.
We need a solution which swiftly lowers the temperature of the global climate which we all can carry out now without any help.
Look at nature for the solution as shown by the eruption of a volcano in the Philippines a few years back.
The white ash cloud reflected sun light back in to space causing a reduction of global temperatures by 2C. for some years .
Buildings and houses in the tropics are often painted white to lower temperature.
Now if we all painted the roofs of our houses white it should reduce the temperature of the climate by reflecting sun light back in to space.
We need a world wide movement to make this happen so come on lets get going.
Yes there is starvation for now or later
But let think wildly huge crop skyscrapers that have modified food that grow faster that have been rigorously test then tested again each year, or food and plants growing on all the rooftops
that's watered from recycled waste that is safe and drinkable
And no real cow meat "mostly should still have a few places" made from plants but tastes like real meat
And did you know there is "technically" a cap on humans the better health humans have till they have joy knowing they won't need more than one kid to pass on genetics because one kid died
Science is an ever moving train leaving the worst behind
Sustainable timber harvest conserves forestland.
Sorry to say but expect "natural" solution to work slow, the ecological negative feedback just doesnt operate on decadal scale to "suit" humans. Be patient and tell people dont complain when results are slow. Also, bear in mind that more than half of the GHG in the atmosphere is from burning fossil fuel (aka carbon buried deep underground) which has little thing to do with habitat destruction.
It has everything to do with habitat destruction, my man. . . were you watching the video?
@@Kai-jq3vw You need to learn to read carefully, a big chunk of carbon in the atmosphere came from deep underground, and nature/soil's solution cannot remotely deal with that in any short time-scale that human can imagine, so you need to convince those bastards that always demand quick results.
Eat more plant base diet. I love eggs.
Since the industrial revolution we have destroyed roughly half the viable soil. At first from ignorance and poverty but in recent years industrial farming and chemicals and the attendant monoculture deserts have turned the soil into carbon emitters as well as poisoning the soil, wildlife, the rivers and coastal waters, and ourselves. We have become an 'ill' species. Regenerative farming can restore soil to health in around 5 to 10 years depending on hydrology and interventions. No chemicals. By restoring depleted soils (worthless) it could also be an answer to poverty by bringing farming to impoverished communities, with education and support to get them going, it would also absorb CO2. Those farmers could be called the climate heroes! One thing I noticed: Half of USA happens to be desert??? Good restoration project there, but greedy capitalists will prevent the poor getting a look in! You can add the soil restoration as another natural strategy.
I just wonder how the vikings did restore their hot period.

you basically said nothing
Who here from county high year 8
You’re a batty fish 🐠
Online classes suck
You solutions won't solve the problem. It's too late ! prepare for Mad max life style.
Murder, no humans no problems
This is a joke
