About 60 years ago, I saw a program on Phila. PBS about the ice melting. Scientists put out a warning THEN and I've always felt so bad for the polar bears who would suffer from climate change before everyone else would. I was about 7 or 8 years old at the time, I believed the scientists and this has been a LIFELONG concern of mine. To hear others STILL denying it is infuriating. Thank you, Bernie and friends! I'm with you 100%.
@@creeib And apparently, even as children, we both actually respect and believe what scientists say they discovered. Always nice to converse with those like-minded. Thanks!
I'm 82 and believe it is too late to turn this around. I noticed it in the 50s when there was no more ice on the little lake I used to skate on. Scientists called it correctly then, The Great Acceleration. They had no reason to lie.
I was watching a free summit in 2020. When I heard that European research organizations had been calling for changes to combat global climate change in the 1970s, I was horrified. I remember hearing about "global warming" for the first time in the late 1980s. It's a tragedy.

Sorry I missed the live stream, lots of good points made here. Also encouraging to see you all work so hard on this issue and get the message out. I could make a lot of comments, but I'll just say this: Growing the economy requires energy, and when we get more energy (regardless of where we get it from) we use it to grow the economy. So as we build out renewables, we're using it to grow the economy, not to replace fossil fuels. If we want to transition to renewables and stop using fossil fuels we're going to have to make do with less (de-growth rather than growth). It's a hard choice to make but it's either that or face extinction.
Sheldon is exactly right - Oil corporations can pay a windfall tax To pay for REFORESTATION = CARBON CAPTURE Do this combined with water projects in Africa + arid regions of South America, and then you will also cut down the mass migration - pay them to replant and reforest This will boost their economies, provide food + timber That way you can even get some support from right wing voters
I WANT TO THANK YOU GUY'S FOR SPEAKING OUT ON THIS MATTER. I'VE LIVED ON LOW INCOME ALL MY LIFE. AND I FEEL THE SAME AS YOU YOU GUY'S. IT'S FUNNY THEY OFFER FREE SOLAR PANELS TO STOP USING FOSSIL FUELING, AND WHEN YOU TRY TO APPLY FOR THEM THEY TELL YOU THAT AT THE END THAT THEY'RE NOT FREE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LIVE ON FOSSIL FUEL BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY THEM TO HEAT MY HOME. WHICH IS SO SAD AND HOW BAD IT HURTS ME. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THINGS GET BETTER. KNOWING I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP STOP THIS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I think if we are to reverse or slow the effects down as quickly as we can, we need to target the industries that do the most damage. The meat and dairy industries, the fossil fuel industries. These industries emit and destroy nature more than anything we know. We can't continue down the same road and expect to reach a different destination. We have to change the traditional way of doing things and look to something completely new.
The meat and dairy industries do almost no damage. In the USA they account for less than 4% of greenhouse gas emissions (compared to nearly 30% EACH for Transportation and Electrical Generation), and as low as that is it could be a lot lower with better farming practices. And it does so in a way that is less harmful since it's part of the natural cycle; for millions of years there have been hundreds of millions of ruminants roaming the world and they have been beneficial, not harmful, to the environment. Regenerative ranching restores soil and actually sequesters more carbon than it produces. Animal agriculture is being used as a decoy to shift our attention away from the real sources of environmental damage. More importantly, we cannot afford to shift away from animal agriculture any more than we have due to health concerns. Cheap carbs drive obesity and diabetes and CVD and other metabolic syndrome rates up. People are deficient in important nutrients because most of what they eat are empty calories. What we need to do is force energy companies to move away from fossil fuel and into clean energy, and tell people to stop wasting so much energy and buying so much junk. Of course the problem is that politicians are never going to do the former and people are never going to do the latter.
@@BigSlimyBlob Sir, the information you have provided goes against the most recent science regarding the impact of animal agriculture on the environment and human health. This carnivore philosophy is both dangerous and unrealistic. But, I guess that we shouldn't waste time debating it here, as it will likely lead to nothing. So, whomever wishes to believe what you claim is free to. I know, as a person who has eaten a plant based diet for more than 15 years, that all the necessary nutrients and proteins are at my disposal. I'm active and healthy. I avoid junk and processed foods. Please do more research than the information provided by a country that profits enormously from raising livestock for profit.
@@nonalien-l1n "plant based" is very vague, but it's enough for me to know that, despite all your other health habits, either you eat a significant amount of animal products or you take supplements. And you and I both know that if you removed meat from the shelves, people would rush to processed food. It's already 90% of what you can find in a grocery store. It would become even more. But you know what, it doesn't even matter what you think because pulling away from the meat industry is not feasible anyway. 2/3 of agricultural land is not arable; it cannot be used to grow crops, but it can be used to raise animals. Producing enough food for the absurd number of humans on the planet has been taxing the planet like crazy for decades already, and it's only getting worse. Even at current farming and fishing rates, the land has suffered from depletion and erosion from plant agriculture, and fish populations have been depleted below sustainable levels. If we decided to leave 2/3 of our agricultural land unused, we'd have to pull even more strongly from other natural resources. The rest of the planet would die, fast. Or should I say... fastER. So it's not gonna happen. Which is good because it shouldn't.
@@BigSlimyBlob The only supplement I take is b12. I've heard youtube commentators claim that the only thing that keeps people alive on a plant based diet are the massive amounts of supplements they take. This is pure mythology. I think you've been listening to too many people who are financed by the meat industry, and there are plenty of them. I can vouch for a plant based diet, a whole foods, plant based diet, that is, because I'm doing it. The fishing industry is destroying marine life, the meat and dairy industries are wiping out trees in the Amazon, they're polluting rivers, they're using most of our crops to feed 80 billion land animals a year. Red meat has been identified as a class 2 carcinogen. Look, you can carry on as you are, I'm not trying to change you, but know that there are options available to us that are kinder to the environment, to our health and to animals, who suffer in ways you cannot imagine to provide meat to fast food restaurants. Do you think factory farms are a good thing?
@@BigSlimyBlobthank you sooo much for your thoughtful comment. My best friend is a brilliant stem scientist with a degree in microbiology currently getting a degree in biochemistry and was considering a degree in nutritional science. He is highly allergic to soy which is unfortunately in everything here in the us and often mislabeled as natural flavors or mono dyglecerides and more. If he even touches it he gets a rash. So he couldn't be a vegan even if he wanted to which the actual nutritional science doesn't suggest is a good idea for most people. We are both part of the soil 4 climate group online and the ethical omnivore movement. There is no such thing as 100% veganic agriculture. An animal dies no matter what we eat and so we should be eating nose to tail and be mindful of the rest of the environment when farming. Not to mention that the soy corn and wheat monocultures are heavily sprayed with glyphosate and other chemicals that leach into the water ways creating toxic algae blooms called cyanobacteria that cause ALS in humans and create dead zones. This is something my friend is working to solve. Permaculture and regenerative agriculture which includes the rotational grazing of animals and helps to sequester carbon and solve climate change has tons of science behind it. We have to be really careful when we start telling other people how to eat. There are many people with food allergens to the phytates and lectins in grains and legumes and or soy which is becoming a more common allergen. I'm allergic to dairy which is sad because because where I live here in Vermont we have the best organic local cheeses and ice cream. Also we cook in grass fed beef tallow and lard and coconut oil because what we thought was the science behind saturated fats is not true. But we can eat grass fed organic beef and lamb and hormone and antibiotic free meat. We definitely don't support large factory farming that are exploitive to the environment and animals and the people that live there. We can't all be vegans and be healthy. In fact there are many x vegans who got really malnourished and sick from being vegan and became an ethical omnivore. There are children and babies who have died. Many countries have banned a vegan diet from being fed to babies and children such as Italy because of this. And many native indigenous people are designed to eat meat and will get sick or diabetic on a high carb vegan diet. And hunting and farming is a huge part of their culture providing everything from food clothes and shelter and more.
I could be wrong, but I can’t remember tornadoes in June and July. They typically end in middle to end of April. I work in a warehouse that is short handed and underpaid, with the only fan is the one that sucks out fumes and supposedly the heat.

WE CAN REVERSE MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE, but first we must correct our collective behavior. We all live by a certain behavior model which we generally refer to as our economic model; that being, "profit = income - expenses". We must, as our first step, correct this ridiculous economic behavior model in such a way as to correct the meanings of "expenses" and "environment". If we don't fix this core cause of man-made climate change, then all efforts to correct the climate problem will not only fail but will worsen the problem dramatically. Bankrupting the oil industry is the same thing as bankrupting the entire global economy and the public. You're not going to be able to use all of those billions that the oil industry will fork over when we are all dead, and if you do live long enough to put those billions towards solar energy, the creation of this new energy infrastructure will double the environmental damages we have caused, and the new infrastructure itself will cause its own damages to the environment as we use it. I hate to say this burnie, but out of the five of you in this video, I didn't hear any solutions that sounded even remotely viable. When you, first, correct the definition of profit then the oil industry and all other industries will automatically correct their behavior. Yes, fossil fuels should be scaled back but in reality, we use fossil fuel for so many things that we can't ever stop using it. The new definition of "profit" should be "profit = our gratefulness and loving care for the environment and sustenance that it provides to all of us". With this new profit model, it is an expense to ignore our responsibility to care for and enrich the environment, and it is an expense to damage the environment unnecessarily. Businesses today must damage the environment unnecessarily by producing and selling the same products over and over again because if they don't do so, they will go bankrupt. With the new profit model businesses can, without fear of bankruptcy, make products that last for a much longer time and then simply scale back production as the market becomes saturated with product. Imagine how much less damage will be done to the environment when so many products last so much longer. These companies will be able to scale back production with no fear of bankruptcy, and the workers that are laid off will then be able to earn higher than average returns for their labor as caretakers of the environment because caretakers receive higher than average wages. Do you get it now? We need to scale back everything including fossil fuel, overproduction, population count, etcetera. Under our present economic system, scaling back any or all of these things would lead to global bankruptcy, but if we correct our economic model we can, without fear of bankruptcy, reverse man-made climate change. 💖
What can you do for climate change? Not endorse someone that increased drilling, to start. What happened to you and the other progressives. It seems like you guys talk the talk but won't fight the fight. Big disappointment.
It's amazing that taxes is what you take from all this. You haven't grasped the gravity of it. Taxes won't fix this. We are going to have to change everything about how we live. That doesn't mean poverty or misery it means a society that doesn't pit me against you for profit.
