People literally do not understand how food gets to their table it can go from one year you can grow crops to the next year you cannot just that quickly that's it you can wind up with no food supply almost overnight. This is not a joke this is the reality and this is how come this is so extremely important think of the wars it would create if everybody's out of food
Why don't you write a letter to Blackrock, and....how about you to realize that only free people can be good stewards of the environment and that can only be achieved through LOTS OF ENERGY. Let's get this country energy independent with ALL available resources. The future is in our hands. Stop buying into the poo poo, communist grievance cult.

Spot on! The Pentagon uses more petroleum per day than the aggregate consumption of 175 countries (out of 210 in the world), and generates more than 70 percent of this nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions, based on rankings in the CIA World Factbook. “The U.S. Air Force burns through 2.4 billion gallons of jet fuel a year, all of it derived from oil,” reported an article in the Scientific American. Best to you~
Yep. Clueless on both ends. Climate catastrophe has been happening way before we started using fossil fuel. In fact, we’ve had some of the worst catastrophic events hundreds of years ago. Yet we’re here pretending humans spun up an hurricane with heavy rain lol. If only humans were that powerful
Ah yes, Robert Johnson, the one who knows the truth. Pray tell Robert, what's your educational background? Also, do you provide consultations on cardiothoracic surgery, quantum computing, and nuclear physics? We would love for you to share your vast expertise on all those topics too. I'm sure you're just as qualified.
Because NOBODY CARES when they can't afford a house, or a car, or food. Meanwhile the loudest voices are flying around in private jets and motorcades, standing on their soapbox and preaching to the smoothbrains to "do something!!!!". All in the name of 'muh climate change'...GFYS
This comment right here. I've seen it on more then just one article, and you're right. Media outlets would rather push a fairy tale bullshit narrative, instead of providing the correct information. It's infuriating.
We are living through the end of an ice age. Of course carbon emissions have been accelerating this, but to think this is totally man made or even half is quite silly. Far worse weather events occurred at times when humans hadn't even discovered the wheel yet. As far as the "biblical" thing goes, it's not just the abrahamic faiths that have a flood story. Almost all cultures have a great flood origin story. Probably because it's something humanity has actually survived long ago. Anatomically modern humans (what we are) have existed for half a million years. There's no doubt in my mind that we've been through cataclysm. We are subject to forces beyond our control. Maybe you don't believe in the spiritual, but in a material sense we are subject to the forces of the planets in our solar system and the cosmos at large. It's all connected. We should do everything we can to prepare no doubt. Just understand that mother nature is beyond our control. I know Republicans make a great scape goat but we've had devastating weather like this long before the industrial revolution.
Peter Kalmus' words inspire me like nothing else I've heard or read in years! I've also been arrested for non-violent civil disobedience and the ensuing punishment through the courts was exhausting. But he's motivated me to get back on the front lines of protest. Thanks, Democracy Now for featuring this scientist whose passion is equal to his knowledge!
Year after Year I have witnessed first hand record temperatures in the Phoenix Area and throughout the West. The accumulative number of 90 Degree, 100 Degree and 110+ days each year, obliterating previous records the past couple years and prior... It was 117 Degrees this week just few days before October, and temperatures nearing or exceeding 110 Degrees forecasted for at least another week. The norms this time of year used to be in the 90's. This years heat far surpassed last year's, which surpassed the prior years... (Continued Below) Imagine the increased demands for electricity to power all the air conditioning just in this area alone for Businesses, Homes, Schools, Hospitals, Manufacturing and other "High Demand" requirements. Now multiply that exponentially across the country with other areas also experiencing hotter temperatures for long periods of time. More usage requires more power, which adds more pollution leading to worse conditions in the future. It's a "Feedback Loop" that never ends without intervention. This isn't a new problem it goes back decades. A few might remember the "Black-Out" in New York July 13th-14th in 1977. Think about a wider spread power disruption in large Metropolitan Areas across the country in the hottest periods of the year and for longer periods of time. Death Tolls would be "Massive", and the number of "Heat-Related Illnesses" would be catastrophic for medical facilities in those areas. Massive losses of revenue would occur should Manufacturing be halted during such a disruption. Other impacts would be felt "Far & Wide" I worked for several years at SEL (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories) a huge manufacturer of Power Generation and Distribution Equipment Internationally. The Nation's "Power Grid" can only deliver the power that is generated or stored. Though big Improvements to the technologies used the manage the delivery of power in this country and abroad have improved over the years, the demands keep rising. The reservoirs used to hold water for electricity generation at our nation's many dams continue to be depleted, and with more frequent and longer lasting "Drought Events" the future seems to be a very serious problem for many... Though flooding is becoming more and more frequent and extreme, little has been done in the big scheme of things, to manage this water storage to handle future needs, resulting in ever increasing damage and destruction to populated areas, agriculture and loss of life... Projects should have been implemented throughout the years to work at planning for and solving the problem in the future, but instead "Profit" over "Investment" has been the norm for those massive companies operating and "Raking in Money" to supply the need for electricity. These projects required Investment, which some has been made to improve the infrastructure of the "Power Grid", I believe not nearly enough has been accomplished. When was the last "Major" Dam Project like the "Hoover Dam" (Boulder) completed in 1936 or "Roosevelt Dam" completed in 1911 and expanded in 1989? Instead of preparing for the increasing demands, and destructive "Natural Disasters" caused by overwhelming flooding events, the massive companies and corporations have continued to profit and raise electricity rates for millions. How many times have you seen "Dam Failures and Breaches" in recent times? So little is done to improve and maintain the aging vital infrastructure. Current Water Management of the rivers in the West, like the Colorado River, is not prepared for a future of such demand for increased power and more importantly the precious fresh drinking water needed to supply the increasing number of inhabitants of states like Arizona, California and Nevada, as well as the huge demand for Agriculture in those same states. More demand of the Aquifers of "Ground Water" in these areas is leading to rapid depletion. This depletion in turn leads to a vast change of the structure of the ground above the massive voids left when the water is no longer present below. "Sink-Holes", and "Quakes" are typical results, and a depleted store of such important water. It's hard to watch such 'Destruction" and "Death" caused by the more frequent floods, knowing that despite the vast quantities of water destroying Homes, Businesses, Manufacturing, Agriculture and most importantly people's lives, it will do little to mitigate the droughts in our future. A product of these extended droughts is clearly seen in the ever-increasing Wildfires across the West. Natural "Watersheds" provided by the forests destroyed are also eliminated, causing increased "Run-off" during periods of heavy rain only adding to the frequent "Flood Events" going forward. Where does it all end I ask? If the "Urgency To Do Something" I foresee in the future as conditions worsen would have been felt years prior maybe the "Worse to Come" could have been prevented... Earlier this year I watched documentaries exposing the "Increase of Ocean Water Temperatures" around Florida and other coastlines. Water the temperature of "Hot Tubs" in places, "The Warmest on Record". Drastic impacts to marine life, coral reefs and related environments resulted... This was a "Clear Warning" of what was to come, and guess what? This led to Increased energy and damage exerted by more and more frequent Hurricanes in those areas. Wasn't anyone paying attention?? If only those profiting so much from industries impacting the environment so drastically cared more about the "Situation" they're passing along to their children and future generations, as the do about money & profit, maybe something would change...
So let's fix the electric grid problem by having all vehicles be EVs. 🤥That will surely eliminate the temperature increases which will lead to less power being needed...oh wait...that means more power is needed.🤔
Hmm, you must not have a clue, I didn't suggest anything about EV's, they still impact the environment during production, and now even more so with the destruction caused by mining and other methods of getting lithium for the batteries. Then again at end of life if these batteries are disposed of and increased recycling is not prevalent. They also require power to charge which if produced through means which continue to pollute and still add to the problem. Increasing more "green" methods for production would be a benefit sure, however I dont believe they will solve the problem which years of greedy and ignorant people helped to cause... Other alternatives have existed, and still do.... Public transportation, ride shares, not jumping in a massive truck or SUV to go do errands frequently, not continuing to widen "urban sprawl" and driving for hours each day to go back and forth to work for many jobs that can be accomplished remotely. Do you have a huge truck or SUV?? Very likely, many people do who never haul anything.... This problem with the environment has been worsening for decades. And again I state greedy prople have put profit over reducing the impact of pollution. @lawrencecigary2134
@darrelldixon9044 as per the EPA the US produces 14 trillion pounds carbon emissions each yr....Facts. Also Facts: trees in the US absorbs 14 trillion 200 million pounds per yr. FACTS: plant species and grass in the US abaorbs another 200 million pounds.per yr FACTS: the oceans absorb 25 percent of the worlds carbon emissions. Facts: freah water in the US absorbs 690 billion pounds per yr. So where is the emergency?????
During the global pandemic, when around the world things haulted we actually seen air quality improved over China, and the US, this needs to be mentioned more showing what 2 or 3 weeks did stopping the use of fuels on the planet
I lived in Los Angeles at the time of the early pandemic. When LAX airport and the 405 freeway shutdown, within days the sky was the brightest blue that I’ve ever seen in the 46 years living in Southern California. Truly marvelous.

The climate ship has sailed. Curbe Emissions yes, but it's also time to shift resources to water management infrastructure modifications, dykes, tide breaks, landslide mitigation, roadway resiliency measures and much much more across the board.

No, you misunderstand. NASA talks about climate change on their various YT and social media channels all the time and so do astronauts. The reason he has to say that is because he isn't an odficial representative of the company. It's for legal reasons, not because NASA denies climate change.

Everyone forgets that Hurricanes have ALWAYS been unpredictable and there is evidence that just 1000 years ago these storms were infinitely stronger than they are today.
Calm down. The climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years and it always will change. There have always been hurricanes and this hurricane is no more a wakeup call than Hurricane Helene in 1958 was.

So questioning the premise behind pseudo-facts is now ignorance and hate? Whatever happened to the the liberal mantra question everything accept nothing? Hate on you ignorant beauties.
No, not really; you must have missed the ‘irreversible’ mention. The scientists will never get rich, but the mine owners, oil men, and politicians all will, because they really have the best scam ever, after cigarettes. Just keep lying that it is not bad for you, and keep on selling the poison.

Were you one of those C Students in High School, maybe got picked on a lot because you were stupid? You should have taken it for advice not criticism.
Few people really care about climate change- just stating a fact. When people care about something they sacrifice for it. Those who want to make money from fossil fuels are willing to kill for the privilege. Those who care about maintaining humanity in a sustainable mode are willing to hold up signs. It's not a fair fight in terms of motivation. People are motivated by money, by enriching their families with dynastic wealth. I think this motivation, though irrational in its proportions (you don't need millions to provide for your family), is just stronger than the more abstract motivations of saving the planet. Saving the planet isn't an evolved animalistic impulse like aggregating wealth is. I'm sorry, but the fossil fuel industry is not going to stop because people are just not willing to do what it takes to stop them. It's time to turn to mitigation strategies and time to stop being hopelessly idealistic.
Many aren't aware of it. Young people aren't old enough to have watched their native home change over decades, to where even Republicans and Dem neighbors agree, snow has lessened, doesn't snow at all anymore, our winters have gotten warm (when growing up we had fantastic snows 2-3 times a year minimum, the kind you get out of school and roam neighborhoods).

Isn't it strange that the only people that seems to be able to save us from climate change are authoritarians and the Rich elite... It almost seems it's by design huh?
A mirror image of the wars we are supporting with money and weapons in Israel adn the Ukraine. Maybe the universe is trying to tell us something - and it is not climate change.
No even worse ...no army could do such large scale destruction except using their nuclear weapons. But we don't need weapons we are destroying us just by exploiting our planet till the last moment.
Remember that media wants to show the damage, not the buildings that withstood the force of the storm. I always inspect the background to see what is visible that appears undamaged. We can build stronger and in suitable locations, if we want a better future.
Yo, I been on this earth for some 50 years now...I thought it was just me but I felt as though these summers are hotter than the 70s, 80s, 90s, and so on...
The Swannanoa River at Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, has reached flood levels not seen since 1791 after Hurricane Helene brought torrential rain to the area. The question is , what caused all that flooding back when this country was just starting off .

Agreed…animal agriculture is a major cause of climate change…major health organizations all over the world say that eating a plant based diet is suitable for people at all stages of life

It's time to nationalize big oil. The future of the human species literally depends on it. These companies are willing to jeopardize the well being of every person on the planet in order to meet their "targets." How can that be allowed to continue?

Sounds like a super slippery slope to me. Hell we spend 800+ billion on military... Just imagine on how much more we'd be spending on the sale of oils at the national level. Hell we can't even agree on who is going to run the country.
@@TwistedSense Ok, so let's fix the politics and electoral system, then fix the government, and then nationalize big oil. Any one is as likely as the others. But they are all worthwhile goals.
Nationalising oil companies will do nothing. Many of the largest oil companies are already state owned, like Saudi Aramco, Rosneft, China National Oil Corporation, Equinor and many others. These companies are pushing exactly the same narrative as other oil companies. What’s needed is complete removal of state subsidies. These companies doesn’t develop any revolutionary new technologies or new markets. They just don’t want to compete on an open market with renewables. The fossil energy chains are so wasteful and inefficient that oil production has to be energy subsidised to survive. This trend is global and will only increase.
But Biden sent 2.8 billion dollars more to Ukraine…..NC? ZERO. 200billion to Ukraine, Lahaina? 700 bucks. Not 7000, not 700 million. Biden just sent ships/ troops to the Middle East? Pure insanity.

@@JackFromWyoming yes I believe what every climate scientist in the world are saying and my experience with summers that are growing hotter every year. Crazy, right?
Well that’s not proven, but he didn’t mention animal agriculture, which is proven to be equally if not more of the cause than all global transport combined.
One would hope that people now realize climate change is real. How many disasters is it going to take? Ranging fires every summer. Hurricanes that are wiping out huge communities. Unbearable heat most days. Sadly, humanity will act when it’s too late. It probably is too late. Especially for our grandchildren.
There are major hurricanes and typhoons every year, nothing is ever going to change this. As far as wildfires go, there is solid scientifically proven ways to mitigate them called forest management which includes removing dead and diseased tree and undergrowth, basically removing the dry fuel before a fire along with controlled burning, again to reduce the fuel fire needs. These simple and highly recommended practices are no longer being practiced in CA, Wash and Oregon due to the activist and Dems policies...

We tend to ignore problems and have to react to disasters. China is meeting the its goals on reducing the elements that create weather problems. U.S. seldom even talks about this problem. Some countries in Europe, like Norway for instance, have taken steps to reduce the problem.

#37&9 America had two years of brutal economy destroying Lockdown in which fossil fuel consumption was reduced beyond Greta' s dreams. CO2 kept increasing and temperatures warming (in their synthetic climate models). *That proves **_scientifically_** that a Carbon Tax will HAVE NO EFFECT and will only benefit The Blöb!*
Fossil fuel or not, hasn't this kind of extreme weather change been happening throughout the entire history of the planet's existence. I think greenpeace is acting like an opportunistic hypocrite here.
Even if you don't believe climate change is caused by humans. The reality of the situation is that we need significant change in order to mitigate loss. Rebuilding in flood,storm,or drought prone areas is not gonna help or having the shitty infrastructure that we have currently in this country. All our current infrastructure is aging and falling apart so we can't even deal with this"natural increase in climate" that's bringing about truly adverse weather. So whether you wanna believe it's man made or not, actions need to be taken to adjust to changing climate and weather, or we're gonna suffer needlessly. It's as simple as that either we move our future cities farther from the coast or better weatherproof them or let them be 25 feet underwater and act surprised like we didn't know it was possible.
Notice how the loudest voices of 'climate change' own the most land (usually beachfront property), fly in private jets, drive around in motorcades, and have ZERO restrictions; while we are being bled dry. Yes, it's a SCAM.

Guess what. The amount of trees that we've cut down in the world over the last 200 years has had more effect on our environment then the last 100 years of internal combustion engines
Well, yeah, but that horse left the barn 100 years ago. Our emissions are still thickening the planet's atmospheric blanket and we still have time to mitigate worst-case scenarios, but instead of having decades to do it we have years, at best.
I'm in stockton ca. It's going to be 101° tomorrow, Oct 1st and 104° on Wednesday Oct 2nd. Weather channel is calling for 101° temps next week as well. 100° heat in October. That's crazy. I'm not in the middle of the desert
There are four problems with this argument. First of all yes we have had some very nasty storms. What weather does not equal climate and never has. When we talked about damage estimates most people don't do comparison year to year and adjust for inflation. And more than that what we build today cost more because we put more into it we have more wires and cabling we have more safety standards that are required in things we have to use certain types of plumbing and not cheaper things so a home that could have been repaired and replaced in the early 1900s can't be built in most jurisdictions today
The the ultimate truth here is mankind is not in charge of the environment no matter how much we think we are and the more we in modern nations are smacked about our emissions when they account for a fraction of what the developing world is doing I'm sorry there is not much more we can do than what we are already doing. The rest of the world needs to catch up and then make the same changes if indeed these climate emissions are contributing some factor to this but I think the sun is getting hotter

This year I reached 100 thousand invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income, it was exactly 1 year and 4 months, I already accelerated to reach 200 thousand, I think I will reach the goal sooner
Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has often been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Conditions were also frequently sweltering between 500 million and 250 million years ago. It is almost incomprehensible how many products are made with crude oil and petroleum. Our modern lives would literally stop without it. While us oilfield hands understand this deeply. Much of the general public do not realize that over 6,000 products are made from this valuable resource, oil. They rant that the sky is falling but have NO real workable solutions. China is the worst polluter...go to China and protest and see what happens.

Not all of the daily climate changes are 100% a factor of anything. This video title is intentionally single topic focused towards fossil fuels, yet say nothing ever about: 1) solar cycles and how the sun's activities affect our earth events; 2) government funded continuous geo-engineering that takes place in MULTIPLE COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE USA, which affects the weather; and 3) how chemical compounds (that aren't energy related fossil fuel corporations) are and have been used for decades that also contaminate the ozone layer. I watched different local MSM channels and independent channels/media covered the hurricane. How much coverage is sufficient for you to be satisfied?

Fossil fuel barons were instrumental in halting cleaner burning vehicles, just for the their own profits. They've even did whatever they could to popularize giant pickup trucks for men who don't haul anything. In fact those cabs are so high, it's impractical to even lift a couch up there.
The science is that 122,000 years ago, the earth was warmer than it is today, and sea levels were 20 to 25 feet higher than today, and, oh yeah, no one was burning fossil fuels.
true. but 122000 years ago, there weren’t billions of people living within 20-25 feet above sea level. if sea levels raised 20-25 feet in 20,000 years, it wouldn’t be a problem. but if it raises 20-25 feet in 100 years, you have billions of people to move. do you see the problem?

I am 71 and I have never in my life seen a storm hold so much strength so far inland from landfall. Normally even a cat 4 hurricane is down to tropical storm strength by the time it is 50-100 miles in from the coast. A hurricane hit Valdosta, Georgia and even further. To say this is unprecedented is an understatement. But like the guest said here storms today are carrying more water and thus heavier rainfalls inland from the remnants. THIS IS NEW AND DANGEROUS. The idea that this crossed I-10 still a powerful hurricane should tell us something. Then it slammed four states north of there with devastating consequences.
The storm that came through here in upstate South Carolina was unprecedented in it's damage. I'm 74 and can't recall a worse storm or one that went from a tropical depression to a category 4 storm as quickly.

Thank you Peter for your existence and your contribution. I feel you 100%
Many news outlets are calling this 'biblical', which really irks me because they support this magical thinking. Address the science, not the fiction.
This comment right here. I've seen it on more then just one article, and you're right. Media outlets would rather push a fairy tale bullshit narrative, instead of providing the correct information. It's infuriating.
Your “science” is actually a cult.
We are living through the end of an ice age. Of course carbon emissions have been accelerating this, but to think this is totally man made or even half is quite silly. Far worse weather events occurred at times when humans hadn't even discovered the wheel yet.
As far as the "biblical" thing goes, it's not just the abrahamic faiths that have a flood story. Almost all cultures have a great flood origin story. Probably because it's something humanity has actually survived long ago. Anatomically modern humans (what we are) have existed for half a million years. There's no doubt in my mind that we've been through cataclysm.
We are subject to forces beyond our control. Maybe you don't believe in the spiritual, but in a material sense we are subject to the forces of the planets in our solar system and the cosmos at large. It's all connected. We should do everything we can to prepare no doubt.
Just understand that mother nature is beyond our control. I know Republicans make a great scape goat but we've had devastating weather like this long before the industrial revolution.
Yeah it really annoys me to hear biblical with what the facts are!!

Year after Year I have witnessed first hand record temperatures in the Phoenix Area and throughout the West. The accumulative number of 90 Degree, 100 Degree and 110+ days each year, obliterating previous records the past couple years and prior... It was 117 Degrees this week just few days before October, and temperatures nearing or exceeding 110 Degrees forecasted for at least another week. The norms this time of year used to be in the 90's. This years heat far surpassed last year's, which surpassed the prior years... (Continued Below)
Imagine the increased demands for electricity to power all the air conditioning just in this area alone for Businesses, Homes, Schools, Hospitals, Manufacturing and other "High Demand" requirements. Now multiply that exponentially across the country with other areas also experiencing hotter temperatures for long periods of time. More usage requires more power, which adds more pollution leading to worse conditions in the future. It's a "Feedback Loop" that never ends without intervention. This isn't a new problem it goes back decades. A few might remember the "Black-Out" in New York July 13th-14th in 1977. Think about a wider spread power disruption in large Metropolitan Areas across the country in the hottest periods of the year and for longer periods of time. Death Tolls would be "Massive", and the number of "Heat-Related Illnesses" would be catastrophic for medical facilities in those areas. Massive losses of revenue would occur should Manufacturing be halted during such a disruption. Other impacts would be felt "Far & Wide"
I worked for several years at SEL (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories) a huge manufacturer of Power Generation and Distribution Equipment Internationally. The Nation's "Power Grid" can only deliver the power that is generated or stored. Though big Improvements to the technologies used the manage the delivery of power in this country and abroad have improved over the years, the demands keep rising. The reservoirs used to hold water for electricity generation at our nation's many dams continue to be depleted, and with more frequent and longer lasting "Drought Events" the future seems to be a very serious problem for many... Though flooding is becoming more and more frequent and extreme, little has been done in the big scheme of things, to manage this water storage to handle future needs, resulting in ever increasing damage and destruction to populated areas, agriculture and loss of life... Projects should have been implemented throughout the years to work at planning for and solving the problem in the future, but instead "Profit" over "Investment" has been the norm for those massive companies operating and "Raking in Money" to supply the need for electricity. These projects required Investment, which some has been made to improve the infrastructure of the "Power Grid", I believe not nearly enough has been accomplished. When was the last "Major" Dam Project like the "Hoover Dam" (Boulder) completed in 1936 or "Roosevelt Dam" completed in 1911 and expanded in 1989? Instead of preparing for the increasing demands, and destructive "Natural Disasters" caused by overwhelming flooding events, the massive companies and corporations have continued to profit and raise electricity rates for millions. How many times have you seen "Dam Failures and Breaches" in recent times? So little is done to improve and maintain the aging vital infrastructure.
Current Water Management of the rivers in the West, like the Colorado River, is not prepared for a future of such demand for increased power and more importantly the precious fresh drinking water needed to supply the increasing number of inhabitants of states like Arizona, California and Nevada, as well as the huge demand for Agriculture in those same states. More demand of the Aquifers of "Ground Water" in these areas is leading to rapid depletion. This depletion in turn leads to a vast change of the structure of the ground above the massive voids left when the water is no longer present below. "Sink-Holes", and "Quakes" are typical results, and a depleted store of such important water. It's hard to watch such 'Destruction" and "Death" caused by the more frequent floods, knowing that despite the vast quantities of water destroying Homes, Businesses, Manufacturing, Agriculture and most importantly people's lives, it will do little to mitigate the droughts in our future. A product of these extended droughts is clearly seen in the ever-increasing Wildfires across the West. Natural "Watersheds" provided by the forests destroyed are also eliminated, causing increased "Run-off" during periods of heavy rain only adding to the frequent "Flood Events" going forward. Where does it all end I ask? If the "Urgency To Do Something" I foresee in the future as conditions worsen would have been felt years prior maybe the "Worse to Come" could have been prevented...
Earlier this year I watched documentaries exposing the "Increase of Ocean Water Temperatures" around Florida and other coastlines. Water the temperature of "Hot Tubs" in places, "The Warmest on Record". Drastic impacts to marine life, coral reefs and related environments resulted... This was a "Clear Warning" of what was to come, and guess what? This led to Increased energy and damage exerted by more and more frequent Hurricanes in those areas. Wasn't anyone paying attention?? If only those profiting so much from industries impacting the environment so drastically cared more about the "Situation" they're passing along to their children and future generations, as the do about money & profit, maybe something would change...
as Arizona and Nevada are some of the fastest growing parts of the first world.
So let's fix the electric grid problem by having all vehicles be EVs. 🤥That will surely eliminate the temperature increases which will lead to less power being needed...oh wait...that means more power is needed.🤔
Hmm, you must not have a clue, I didn't suggest anything about EV's, they still impact the environment during production, and now even more so with the destruction caused by mining and other methods of getting lithium for the batteries. Then again at end of life if these batteries are disposed of and increased recycling is not prevalent. They also require power to charge which if produced through means which continue to pollute and still add to the problem. Increasing more "green" methods for production would be a benefit sure, however I dont believe they will solve the problem which years of greedy and ignorant people helped to cause... Other alternatives have existed, and still do.... Public transportation, ride shares, not jumping in a massive truck or SUV to go do errands frequently, not continuing to widen "urban sprawl" and driving for hours each day to go back and forth to work for many jobs that can be accomplished remotely. Do you have a huge truck or SUV?? Very likely, many people do who never haul anything.... This problem with the environment has been worsening for decades. And again I state greedy prople have put profit over reducing the impact of pollution. @lawrencecigary2134

Few people really care about climate change- just stating a fact. When people care about something they sacrifice for it. Those who want to make money from fossil fuels are willing to kill for the privilege. Those who care about maintaining humanity in a sustainable mode are willing to hold up signs. It's not a fair fight in terms of motivation. People are motivated by money, by enriching their families with dynastic wealth. I think this motivation, though irrational in its proportions (you don't need millions to provide for your family), is just stronger than the more abstract motivations of saving the planet. Saving the planet isn't an evolved animalistic impulse like aggregating wealth is.
I'm sorry, but the fossil fuel industry is not going to stop because people are just not willing to do what it takes to stop them. It's time to turn to mitigation strategies and time to stop being hopelessly idealistic.

It's time to nationalize big oil. The future of the human species literally depends on it.
These companies are willing to jeopardize the well being of every person on the planet in order to meet their "targets." How can that be allowed to continue?
I completely get what you mean, that being said. Have you not seen how they are with everything else? You really think they should be controlling our oil usage and cost? Sounds like a super slippery slope to me. Hell we spend 800+ billion on military... Just imagine on how much more we'd be spending on the sale of oils at the national level. Hell we can't even agree on who is going to run the country.
@@TwistedSense Ok, so let's fix the politics and electoral system, then fix the government, and then nationalize big oil.
Any one is as likely as the others.
But they are all worthwhile goals.
Nationalising oil companies will do nothing. Many of the largest oil companies are already state owned, like Saudi Aramco, Rosneft, China National Oil Corporation, Equinor and many others. These companies are pushing exactly the same narrative as other oil companies.
What’s needed is complete removal of state subsidies. These companies doesn’t develop any revolutionary new technologies or new markets. They just don’t want to compete on an open market with renewables.
The fossil energy chains are so wasteful and inefficient that oil production has to be energy subsidised to survive. This trend is global and will only increase.
Worked out well for Venezuela when they nationalized oil. I mean besides all the hunger and eating rats part.
You're smoking crack.

One would hope that people now realize climate change is real. How many disasters is it going to take? Ranging fires every summer. Hurricanes that are wiping out huge communities. Unbearable heat most days. Sadly, humanity will act when it’s too late. It probably is too late. Especially for our grandchildren.
There are major hurricanes and typhoons every year, nothing is ever going to change this. As far as wildfires go, there is solid scientifically proven ways to mitigate them called forest management which includes removing dead and diseased tree and undergrowth, basically removing the dry fuel before a fire along with controlled burning, again to reduce the fuel fire needs. These simple and highly recommended practices are no longer being practiced in CA, Wash and Oregon due to the activist and Dems policies...

We tend to ignore problems and have to react to disasters. China is meeting the its goals on reducing the elements that create weather problems. U.S. seldom even talks about this problem. Some countries in Europe, like Norway for instance, have taken steps to reduce the problem.

Rare earth metals used in lithium batteries are mined in Africa, polluting the environment with unbelievable amounts of toxic waste products.

Sure, driving the Tesla is absolutely emission free, but from production through to disposal of the used up products, the package is anything but "clean."

Sadly it can’t be reversed. We can only try to halt it at the stage it gets to before FF governments and media say enough is enough
#37&9 America had two years of brutal economy destroying Lockdown in which fossil fuel consumption was reduced beyond Greta' s dreams. CO2 kept increasing and temperatures warming (in their synthetic climate models). *That proves **_scientifically_** that a Carbon Tax will HAVE NO EFFECT and will only benefit The Blöb!*

@@johnhpalmer6098Well, it is, but it's NOT caused by my car....or my steak.
Even if you don't believe climate change is caused by humans. The reality of the situation is that we need significant change in order to mitigate loss. Rebuilding in flood,storm,or drought prone areas is not gonna help or having the shitty infrastructure that we have currently in this country. All our current infrastructure is aging and falling apart so we can't even deal with this"natural increase in climate" that's bringing about truly adverse weather. So whether you wanna believe it's man made or not, actions need to be taken to adjust to changing climate and weather, or we're gonna suffer needlessly. It's as simple as that either we move our future cities farther from the coast or better weatherproof them or let them be 25 feet underwater and act surprised like we didn't know it was possible.
@@judigrumm7190you know nothing

The "solutions" that Kalmus offers amount to the large scale, overwhelmingly destructive industrialization of nature and extractive enterprises on a mind-boggling scale: solar and wind.

He is a great voice in this fight, but that mental block is utterly baffling.
It's not the case that he can't see that degrowth needs to happen, it's more the case that he can see what is likely to continue.

yeah...100F+ temps in october is warm but hardly unprecedented in our area. stop acting like you have data from the last 1 billion years. you don't.
There are four problems with this argument. First of all yes we have had some very nasty storms. What weather does not equal climate and never has. When we talked about damage estimates most people don't do comparison year to year and adjust for inflation. And more than that what we build today cost more because we put more into it we have more wires and cabling we have more safety standards that are required in things we have to use certain types of plumbing and not cheaper things so a home that could have been repaired and replaced in the early 1900s can't be built in most jurisdictions today
The the ultimate truth here is mankind is not in charge of the environment no matter how much we think we are and the more we in modern nations are smacked about our emissions when they account for a fraction of what the developing world is doing I'm sorry there is not much more we can do than what we are already doing. The rest of the world needs to catch up and then make the same changes if indeed these climate emissions are contributing some factor to this but I think the sun is getting hotter

Even after those first scorching millennia, however, the planet has often been much warmer than it is now. One of the warmest times was during the geologic period known as the Neoproterozoic, between 600 and 800 million years ago. Conditions were also frequently sweltering between 500 million and 250 million years ago. It is almost incomprehensible how many products are made with crude oil and petroleum.

true. but 122000 years ago, there weren’t billions of people living within 20-25 feet above sea level. if sea levels raised 20-25 feet in 20,000 years, it wouldn’t be a problem. but if it raises 20-25 feet in 100 years, you have billions of people to move. do you see the problem?
