I took an Environmental Citizenship class last semester and learned how many of these issues are intertwined. One directly affects the other.
Jack, thanks for covering such heavy topics for us.
I used to watch when you did jacksgap, and I just think that its really cool that you matured into a climate activist. Its really great that you stumbled into the capacity to do something that is probably pretty satisfying for a lifes work.
Such a great series, so informative and well produced, it’s led me to do as much research as I can and getting as involved as I can with different organisations
You should also look into the politics of environmental conservation, particularly how conservation is seen as hinderance to development in the south
Your best bet is to just give it up and get out of that utterly corrupt hierarchical anti science nonsense
So a salesman comes to your door and says....give me your savings and I can control global climate systems by a specific half a degree celcius and to an agreed timescale of my choosing!
For Christs sake....how gullible are you people?
Hey Jack! Great work, these are great about highlighting the cause. Can your team make a series to focus on businesses actually green based so it can begin to inspire other businesses about how it’s possible! Thanks!
Thank you for this series Jack! It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come, you are an inspiration for making a change in the world.
Hope I can make a 100th of the difference you’ve made.
Lol what have they actually done?
They consistently broke and were careless about covid rules and the pandemic. They fly around the world excessively. They then preach and virtue signal to people to make themselves look good. For them it’s a vanity project. Self serving and lack integrity.
These are very scary times. I don't want to be pessimistic, but I am afraid we have reached a point of no return. I wish politicians as well every single individual start taking seriously climate change and take immediate actions to slow down this massive destruction.
My friend, you are going to be told over and over again your entire life that the world is coming to an end. This nonsense never stops and the crisis never comes true.
@@anthonymorris5084 I agree that all the predictions , most of them, from religious nuts, never came true. But it is undeniable that at present time something is very very wrong. Nobody can see the future, but the present is not good at all.
@@patm5369 Allow me to ease your mind. Throughout the 50's and 60's people were threatened endlessly with nuclear annihilation. In the 1970's we went through the "energy crisis". Scientists told us that we were running out of oil and things were dire. All kinds of media frenzy and mayhem ensued. Nothing happened. We were all told by scientists that we were going to starve to death by the 1980's because of over population. There were peer reviewed studies, documentaries and books written. Nothing happened. If you'll notice from 1940 until 1980 temps actually fell for 40 years. Scientist told us we were headed for an ice age and panic ensued. Then there was Y2K and more blah blah blah.
I've learned several things: 1) Scientists, economists, inventors, soothsayers and humans of every stripe, have an abysmal track record at predicting the future. They are always wrong. 2) Humans are alarmist by nature. They are emotional thinkers who easily panic. They believe everything they hear. They are herd animals. 3) Technological advancement is always ignored. It never shows up in the apocalyptic rhetoric, and each so called crisis was solved with innovation. No scientist is saying we're all going to die. Most things associated with climate change are benign and manageable. Data today proves that humans have never been safer, healthier, or more prosperous than at any time in history. Have a great life!
@@anthonymorris5084 ...jus because media exaggerates does not mean things like climate change isn't real. facepalm. media is going to exaggerate everything because they make money that way. while there's people who severely overexaggerate the alarm, there's people who stay on the other extreme, thinking none of it's real at all, and that's you. Telling everyone that everything's going to be okay when migration due to climate change is already starting to happen, is also a sign you are an "emotional thinker". Your reaction to this also reactionary in nature, youre just on the opposite extreme, when in reality most things lie in the middle. I'm sorry you haven't been able to understand that in your lifetime, that most answers lie somewhere in the middle.
@@edwardroh89 He is not saying that there is no threat. But he is saying that generally, things are much more controllable than people expect, and that people have this “End is now” attitude to things.
I'm really glad you're doing this series cause in the past I've always felt helpless about the climate change issue.
You're going to be fine. Humans have never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history. Data proves that death tolls from every single natural disaster including all climate related disasters has fallen precipitously over the last hundred years. Humans have also had an abysmal track record at predicting the future. They are almost always wrong. You are watching a video designed to scare you.
Hi, I'm watching you from Russia. Thank you for your work. You are doing important things in our time.Thank you for the systematization of information, since there is so much of it in our time that it is difficult to put everything together in your head and see it in different aspects. It was a discovery for me that large industries are switching their attention to us. Unfortunately, there is very little talk about climate change in Russia, although it occupies a large part of the continent, but it does nothing, our government is rotten and cannot solve issues of education, small salaries, medicine,not to mention the climate crisis. It has long been known that Russia is on the oil needle, I do not know how it will give up this. Even in Russia, unstable times, people can be imprisoned for rallies that do not please the government. it is very difficult to change anything in our country . How do you cope with the situation in your country, what problems do you face?
This videos are so informative. This one specifically is tremendously hopeful. 😭 Looking forward to the next one!
noticed so many floods and natural disasters all over the world this month, not sure if I’m just noticing it now or it has increased significantly
Germany was scary 😢
The IPCC in it's latest report confirmed that there is no evidence that floods are getting worse. You're noticing it more because the media are shoving it down your throat. Death tolls from every single kind of natural disaster have fallen dramatically over the last hundred years. You are being manipulated with fear mongering.
I love this series! Thank you!💚
love the storytelling and explanations, hate the injustice, determined and hopeful we can make a difference 🌿
Thank you Jack for not giving up all these years in informing as many as you can about climate change. It's pretty devastating but what really comforts me is remembering the hope found in the Bible.
Jesus had foretold natural disasters in Mark 13:8 (even pandemics, wars & food shortages). Revelation 11:18 indicates that climate change would get so bad that God himself has to intervene before humans ruin the earth indefinitely. So this was all prophesied, amongst other world conditions such as prejudice & corruption. Just as the Bible states, human government is a big failure so God will replace all human government with his (Daniel 2:44)
(My continued comment was deleted? I guess for sharing a link?)
That's not to say we just wait for God's Kingdom to do everything for us. After bringing an end to human governments, He will show the righteous how to care for the Earth, just how He had commanded Adam & Eve to do. So we need to get a head start & do our part now, this is our permanent home (Isaiah 45:18)
Just 2 weeks ago I attended an ongoing convention via JWdotORG (i can't give the direct link or i guess my comment will be deleted, look for Friday's afternoon program) & there was a 6 part series of how the Earth contains the ability to renew itself when given the proper help. It's amazing to have learned too that the Bible had mentioned these powerful demonstrations thousands of years ago. So don't give up & don't lose hope! We have a beautiful future ahead after human government is done away with
Can’t wait for the next part 🥰
I really love the messages that Jack and Fin they are together trying to convey to the people and audiences who are following them. I hope they can open the Translation Contribution mode (idk if I said it right) that I could translate it into my mother language for more people to get access to such emergent information.
Hi, I absolutely love this series and Earthrise. Do you think you guys could all focus on positives and options for climate change solutions. There's alot of anxiety and difficult as you know for our generations. Could you look into air capture? Solar? Wind? Regenerative agriculture?veganism? Just any positives. You make the best mini documentary and I think they would help make us and younger generations more inspired to change the world.
Love what you are doing 😊
great research Jack, keep it up
In Germany there was also a catastrophe last week due to heavy rain. I hope that people here now understand that they're also not safe and that they realize what follows climate change. It's always easy to say that there is no climate change when you don't suffer from the consequences. All those people in countries that had nothing to do with it are suffering for years now. The rich countries have to change their behaviour!
@George Mann Please look at the pictures how the small rivers became torrents because of constant heavy rain. It sure is a consequence of climate change. It don't think that bureaucracy causes a flood and no safety measure could have stopped this massive amount of water.
@@BlockPikaLP Not every damned flood is directly caused by climate change. There is no doubt that in the future, climate change is going to increase the frequency and scale of natural disasters, but that doesn't mean that you can directly attribute every single one of them to just climate change.
UA-cam! Make this viral!
That's an order!
Jack, can you please make a video about environmental issues of agriculture, maybe based on articles and data from “Our World in Data”? I don’t know how much you know about the topic, and how much you’ve occupied yourself with the topic. Maybe you could interview Hannah Ritchie, Joseph Poore, Nicholas Carter or Jonathan Foley.
Edit: like this comment if you want him to see it.
Great content!
@jacksgap if your reading this, you’ve helped support the betterment of my view towards climate change. Thank you for what you do-all the way back to your first video years ago.
It’s nice from you to acknowledge his work.
thank you for always caring, and dedicating yourself to unveil and make others care. thank you jack.
Do you think they cared about others when they disrespected covid rules and didn’t seem to care? They are great at making themselves look good and making it seem like they care however their actions tell a different story.
@@sarah-rs5ob k. we still need to help combat climate change which is the major issue at hand.
Richer nations are now starting to see the affects of climate change in their own homes, so they will hopefully at least now address this huge issue and injustice. It’s so sad to see that previously colonised nations and those still under colonial rule will suffer the most and have done the least. My family is from Sri Lanka, which has only recently gotten out of colonised rule, and is right next to the equator. I am sure it will be one of the first to go.
Please can you also address the huge impact of animal agriculture on the climate crisis, relating this to both unequal animal suffering and the suffering of the indigenous people whose land has been taken for this reason. Genesis Butler is a good person to interview if you can. 💛🧡🌸
This is one of the best and clear videos I've ever seen in my whole life. It should be viral. Thank you for your precious work.
Thank u for making this series jack
I wouldn’t say that Colonialism was the factors that contributed to industrialization. In the UK, where the revolution started, slavery accounted for less the 2% of GDP at its peak. Plus, a majority of the resources they exploited were in their own territory.
People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.
I don't run a car, have never run a car. I could say that this is because I have this extremely tender environmentalist conscience, but the fact is I hate driving.
I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.
@George Mann Can you give me some specific reason.How green new deal affects nature
There is a video that the moon is wobbling so that is what is doing this?
Honestly this decade seems like start of one of those apocalypse movies
Remember he used to have one of the biggest UA-cam channels in the world holy shit
why would anyone dislike this now? 😂
They don’t want to hear the sad truth.
Cognitive dissonance
Some sell petrol !
He did not comment on how environmental conservation are seen as way by north to keep the south poor. I mean look at Brazil
@@DC-xg7vnbut you have to have enough money for you to be able to invest in these things and comfortably offer services to your citizens. the West development by exploiting their environment and so telling any third world country not to exploit their environment is hypocritical and can be seen as a way to keep the south poor.
Economic growth is what keeps humanity safe.
Yes, keeping humanity safe while totally destroying it. Great!
@@garancefoucault7749 And how exactly is humanity being "destroyed"? You live the most privileged life in history. Data proves we have never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history. This trend is continuing unabated. The data is indisputable.
After hearing the IPPC press conference today, I don't think we have until 2050. I am from Costa Rica.
People with all the weather related disasters taking place there is something we can all do that will really make a difference. VOTE GREEN at every level, from the local people who run your city, to governors at the regional levels, and all members of parliament's, senates and also for your president. We are so close to doomed now it is scary, and as we continue to vote for capitalism and corporate profits before all else, one day the disaster will be at your doorstep in the form of an earthquake, fire, flood, or something, as it is in so many places now. NO other party ever does anything for the earth but allow corporations to destroy it for profits. As you can see from this video and so many more like it, we must act now "all of us world wide".
Climate change has nothing to do humans' feeling or emotions. It takes its own course. Humans are not different from other animals whose habitats have been destroyed by humans in the name development. Biggest problem with humans is that they have stopped killing each other, after the WWII. If you see the humans' past, you'll see that they were killing their enemies mercilessly. Battles and wars and lack life saving technology kept human population from increasing in the past. Then present era of development and technology is trying to save every human, giving a tremendous artificial value to worthless humans. These two factors have compounded humans misery on this planet, leading to mushrooming populations. Global warming will certainly destroy the human hubris which governments all over the world are epitome of. They are evil in essence.
Yes too many useless eaters and Taking Parasites and far too few Producing Makers.
FACT: CLIMATE CHANGE (IF ANY) AFFECTS POLAR REGIONS MUCH MORE THE TROPICAL REGIONS. THIS VIDEO IS INCORRECT.
Our world is in need of a reality check! I’m tired of people who ruin our world! So many selfish people!
The world isn't "ruined". Humans have never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history. You have a higher standard of living than a King had in the 1500's. Why do you listen to this nonsense?
yo! jack, let's do a video about global citizenship and how it relates to and provides a possible solution to many issues such as climate change.
Jack out here doing God's work.
I honestly cant even watch this. The teality of this world gives me so much stress
Except this video doesn't even come close to representing reality.
Not "almost" basic human right, it is basic.
We’re going to need a lot of nuclear power plants to get to carbon neutrality.
It is a massive problem, but it definitely isn't social justice. Social justice is social justice.
So in other words survival of the people who wernt out competed. The consequence of being out competed is extinction is a law of nature. So the south is done basically. Humans will only live in the north from now on. So not only was the south outcompeted but have the majority of the population who cannot go north unless all land is used for cities and so for many reasons are trapped there. Then the only option is waiting for billions to fade away. Probably what happens
we need to use capitalism in our advantage instead of obliterating it
So, eco-growth?
If only everybody believed or cared. For example my parents don’t even care they are already leaving the world
Can’t care about u then
How, how old they are?
@@klokoloko2114 They're likely old enough to have endured decades and decades of world ending alarmism that never came true. Nuclear Armageddon, the coming ice age, the 1970's energy crisis, the threat of starvation by the 1980's, Y2K and on and on.
@@anthonymorris5084 OK, you are climate denier..
@@klokoloko2114 Why would you jump to that conclusion? Climate change is happening and it's mostly human caused. No scientist on the face of the earth says we're all going to die.
Talk to any Leftist in the West and they all want to abolish capitalism. Talk to anybody who lives in a country without capitalism, and they all want capitalism. Talk to the people who know, not Left wing zealots who clearly have no understanding of capitalism and have never had to live without it.
I disagree on Canada being in the green zone where global change doesn't impact much. Winter here is our culture, our identity, and we're losing it. The melt of permafrost in the Arctic can boost by two times global warming. The forest fires you see now in Canada and Russia emits huge amounts of CO2 and destroy nature. The natives communities in Canada, that already lived through a genocide committed by the British colonizers are the first to suffer from global warming. How can the Inuits live an ancestral lifestyle when there is no more polar bears, whales and that there is no fuckin ice anymore. Global warming in Canada is three times as much as global warming in the rest of the world. The ice that melts here, sea ice and glaciers, are gonna rise sea level (only valid from glaciers) and make the world warmer with less reflective ice. The influx of clear water will dilute salt sea water and disturb ocean currents. Your life or death depends on how the arctic reacts to the uncertain future.
Let’s go Brandon
Is it me or is the algorithm trying to hide your videos ?
Before we begin discussing the morals of power generation, can we at least first shut down the Lithium mines in Africa where they exclusively use child slave labour?
"I can't wait to finish this raft so I can finally escape all of this capitalism." What nobody has ever said.
Once you find how to stop CO2 and NOx from the the mass water bodies, then you will have a natural earth.
Humans: We need the earth to survive.
Earth: I do not need humans to survive.
Life is unfair…
Sad.
There are millions of refugees migrating across the world. Where are they all heading. To countries that embrace capitalism. People vote with their feet.
Its NOT survival of the fittest. But it's survival of the luckiest.
The people who embrace capitalism will easily survive. When a hurricane hits the U.S. around 5 to 10 people die. When they hit the Philippines 20,000 people die. The Netherlands already sits below sea level. The Dutch aren't dying, evacuating, fleeing or becoming climate refugees. In the 1970's a flood hit Bangladesh that killed 250,000 people. Capitalism generates the wealth that keeps us safe.
@@anthonymorris5084 All those so called "developed" countries are away from equator and are least affected by climate change. The so called "developing" countries are near equator and more affected by climate change. To make matters worse, the warmer climate has allowed food to easily grow in the near equator countries making their population to explode. So they are further worse when it comes to loss of life due to climate change.
BTW, IMO, the US is NOT a capitalist country. If it was, government would not have intervened in 2008 crash and bailed out all those thieves running investment banks.
@@santoshstudy5812 Australia's north is very close to the equator. The southern U.S. is hot all the time. Temperature has nothing to do with the success of a nation. It's also not warming nearly as fast on the equator as it is in the Arctic or northern areas. I agree that the U.S. government should never have bailed out the banks but that hardly means that the U.S. isn't capitalist. It was also an incredibly unique and unprecedented economic calamity.
@@anthonymorris5084 But Australia and the US have large portions well into higher latitudes. You will have to look at average latitude of a nation and plot it against per capita GDP and you will probably see a strong correlation, with per capita GDP probably peaking at latitude of about 45.
After climate change has taken full effect, this peak latitude will probably shift to 60.
Every citizen of those impoverished nations would gladly have a new car, a new house and a swimming pool. Human will always utilize their environment to the fullest extent but the damage they do is limited by the technology they possess.
Agreed. Wealth is what keeps us safe.
Welcome to life, where there's always been winners and losers.
Ohh and if anything, coal ended slavery.
Its stuff like this that will lead us into the N.W.O.

Not sure I've ever heard so many lies from one video.
You folks need to focus on the Impending Magnetic pole shift. Not waste time on Poltically correct issues like racism and Fair share and Greed etc. The Magnetic Poles are Shifting. and yes many places are having weather disasters. I live in the Ozarks a place that isnt any more racist or sinful or uses any more or less so called fossil fuels. And we are haveing a exceptional growing season. It rained again today. My corn is ten feet tall. everyones gardens are producing like never before. So much stuff blooming the Hummingbirds are barely usingour feeder. Our Bantams are hatching their second batch of baby chicks. Now I know it can and will change. The pole shift will be the equalizer. When the USA electric grid goes down and it will. It will be a SHTF WROL. and not regress to a relatively comfortable 1800,s pre electricity lifestyle. Nope it will be a Stone Age existance. At best a medeival lifestyle. Man Caused and Man mitigated Glowbull Warming Climate Change is a hoax lie religion . CO2 is not a pollutant plants need it to grow .Ok Ive been asking the Glowbull Warming climate Change man is killing the Earth advocates. How when it comes to their claim man is increasing Greenhouse gases. Why the first Law of Physics (which is Man cant make any tangible element into nothing and man cant create any tangible element from nothing) some how that rule doesnt apply. I want them to explain how man is reducing The amount of Oxygen and increasing the amount of CO2? When they do Im going to Patent the process because it will solve the Perpetual Motion problem.
