  • The Maasai people have lived sustainably off the savanna for centuries, raising cattle for sustenance and income. Climate activist Dorcas Naishorua paints a picture of how the climate crisis is threatening their way of life - and calls for local and international support as they're forced to adapt to a changing environment.

    For the Maasai to turn to the rest of the world for help after such a long time, things must really be changing for the worse. They are a proud people.

      Or its just propaganda, this lady would know nothing of climate change if not for white westeners telling her about it. Humans account for only 4% of carbon emissions, making our effect on the atmosphere negligible, and majority of it comes from the energy it takes to make your phone and plastics, not cars n lights like they want you to think. We could cut out all human based carbon and we would still be on the same projection, the earth is just heating. Its also greener than it was 100 years ago

      I doubt many people are going to reduce or stop using electricity and electric grids unfortunately. Hope we learn. NASA and NOA just put out a video discussion on the what’s causing a large part of climate change. Electric grids. Additionally to being at the end of an ice age. At this point I’d be surprised if humans can work together enough to do it. I mean look at our presidential race. Stubborn. Most likely outcome. Extinction in 3000 years 🫠🫤

    Thank you for your words, it is going on all over this world. I planted over 300 sunflower seeds and not one came up, i also planted in a small pan and the seeds developed but died before they grew up to a plant. They are spraying chemtrails and this is killing or land to grow plants. Our leaders all ready said we are over populated and they want to depopulate or world. I also have a nectarine tree and it bloomed Hundreds of blooms and bees all over the tree and the bees had no pollen on their Leggs and not a fruit did the tree produced. I also planted at least 600 seeds of corn and onlt 3 came up than died, I also planted 100 string beans and only 1 came up than died. Thanks and stay safe.

    我发现了一个事,我们生活要过得好,我们的思维就得,一直想着和感觉,一切都是自然,不管什么是发生,是好是坏,你必须告诉自己没事的,然后最重要一点就是,享受每一件事(enjoy), 就算当下是遇到不好的事,享受他。一切都会转好。这比冥想还要厉害,应为意思,专注就是力量(energy)
    我们都知道伤心时,很难去想开心,所以当下心情就享受那过程,把伤心转换成正面心情。很多事发生了都已成为过去,享受的事会增加,因为你的思维已经转换享受开心。

    I think we are going to all have to adapt. The worlds government's will never unite to fight climate change and the ones that would there own people dont believe climate change is real. We will be better off changing infrastructure and letting those who wont sink into the ocean when the oceans rise. And thats what will happen and alot more.
