    As a conservative from America, I can assure you that the point of view Konstantin is presenting here, is precisely how we also see wokeness. Which is exactly why common sense, and logic will always dismantle woke ideology. Well done sir!

      That is exactly the point why the world goes to waste. People who think logic is their fortee but it is not. Just dreams and hopes that someone somehow will find a solution for the problem isn't logic, it's not even an opinion, it's just laughable. That's why a professional comic is presenting it. I don't have any hope left for mankind if jiokes are taken seriously by the most of the people. You don't want to change so your grandchildren will spit on your grave like you spit on their future.

      actually it’s comments like that that makes it so what they need is positive reinforcement they are told nothing but negative by the left so they immediately think everything is negative and whenever you say negative things about them they are just confirmed and then whenever they hear things that are Actual truth they refer back to the negative things to think they are being lied to so this shit needs to stop

      If every nation hides behind their small percentage of responsibility and waits for others to address climate change, no progress will be made. The advancements in technology and society that Konstantin Kisin benefits from were all initiated by individuals and nations who took the first step. Climate change requires a collective effort, and waiting for others to act first is a recipe for inaction. Each nation, regardless of its size or contribution, must lead by example to inspire global change.

    My son, aged 30, patronizes me. He tells me about organic foods and carbon footprint and saving the planet.
    He is European.
    He doesn't realize the I did "all that" when I had the luxury of NOT being a parent to 3 kids. When I was a teenager in the 1980s I spoke down to my father, who had 5 children to feed.
    I went on about healthy this and healthy that.
    10 years later, poverty stricken with a lousy husband, with a toilet outside and a bucket for my children to bath in, I was grateful for food and wood and medicine.
    I was 29 years old and no longer full of woke.
    (As if generation z invented it. What a joke.)
    I was a mum of 3 and living in a foreign country with a foreign husband. I couldn't speak the language and didn't have friends.
    Food. Heat. Medicine.
    That was my pyramid.
    So many woke kids don't even know what Maslow's hierarchy of needs (pyramid) is.
    The west is falling at a rapid rate.
    I returned to Africa in 2022 after 30 years in Europe.
    I don't want to freeze nor go hungry on the alter of wokeness. I didn't see a doctor since 2019 in the UK.
    Came back to Africa, saw a doctor and discovered I have an autoimmune disease which is ravaging my body.
    The doctors in the UK hid behind a screen for 2 years.
    So much for western civilisation.
    Fear riddles them.
    Here in Africa we still talk to each other without a screen.
    Here in Africa climate change isn't even a topic.
    Food.
    Heat.
    Medicine.

      Konstantin Kisin is running a business...namely, himself. The Triggernometry channel copied a model introduced by Dave Rubin's, 'The Rubin Report'. Both purports to be simply on a quest to find the truth, but ultimately, it's to push a narrative Charles Koch of Koch Industries, and every right-wing think tank agrees with. If Kisin et al are lucky, some of that Koch money will find its way into their pockets. I find it ironic that these people present themselves as being fringe, unfashionable and "cancelled", but in reality they have more influence on the discourse than those they constantly claim suppress their speech.

      @DontTreadOnTeachers I studied Critical Studies at the University in Birmingham in the UK, Sociology and Gender Studies modules, some CRT. I applied Marxist and feminist and postmodern theory to texts for my Contemporary Literature module in the English Department... The answers to climate change are not coming out of these departments. Leaps forward for society are not coming out of these departments, I'm afraid. These departments are trying desperately to make society think they are useful or valuable. They have very little utility, and actually do a great deal of harm from what I've seen. The Critical Theories have resulted in a denial of reality in favour of standpoint theory. The feminist theory I was taught is now used to put men in women's pri /sons.
      No, you can't "identify" as a scientist if you are not qualified. So no, STEM is not just another identity.
      If you want to discuss Critical Theories further, and why postmodern q weer theory project of "q weering" categories is not useful to tackling climate change, but actually actively dismantles and corrupts every other discipline it comes into contact with, we can have that conversation.
      "There is no such thing as "hard sciences." " -- hope you tell them that the next time you need to travel by airplane, or you're in hospital being kept alive by people who actually learned something valuable to society, taking practical steps to keep you healthy or alive... While you type your reply on a phone/computer, a device no one in a Gender Studies or English Lit department would know the first thing about creating. From what I encountered, it was a lot of very embittered people who could only dismantle and pull apart the works of great figures of the European past, works which they themselves could not create. And most were utterly boring white people consumed with guilt about being what they were.

      It is a good speech but very wrong point of view. Most pollution isn't done by poor people but by big companies that cut any possible corner to save a buck. Tell me how much pollution a poor person from China or India is going to create, yes he might start a business that is bad for the environment but that is in the future and in much smaller scale compared to other existing manufacturers. Right now there are many companies, factories, corporations that only care about profit and are owned or related to many of the wealthiest people of the planet but this guy points his finger at the poor people. It is the same with water problems in the US where they are doing what they can to make people less and less water because of drought yet the main problems is the agriculture of water heavy plants like avocado. Those farms are mostly owned by big companies not small farmers. So again the problem aren't poor people but BIG CORPORATIONS.

Now, it is economically doing pretty well in the world. The development, economic prosperity, was achieved by building and running A LOT OF factories where people to work and earn their living. This is the exact same path that China has taken since the 80s, Southern East countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia have taken since 90s or 00s, and India is taking now.
    "You are not going to get them to stay poor", DECLARED by Konstantin is the exact message that the developing "global south" wants to convey, and is conveying, to the "global north". The global south understands that environmental protection is important, but not at the expense of hindering or sacrificing economic development. So whatever Greta Thunberg or World Economic Forum blathers, Konstantin is right. Climate change does not depend on the global north. It is the global south that will determine the course of climate change, and the global south will prioritize economic development.

Also, it's horrific that poor people will need to front a large part of the burden in order to curb emissions, but if they keep slamming that big button and releasing CO2, ultimately it's the poor that will face much, much worse conditions as climate change's feedback loops begin to take shape and create conditions of scarcity, food water shortages, heat, and extreme weather. The solution is both for major lifestyles changes in the global south, as well as countries in the north working on new technologies and giving money and resources to poorer countries in order to fight climate change together. Woke culture advocates for this just as much as anyone else concerned about ACC.

    This is so true. I work in an industry that takes climate changes very serious. I feel like I'm part of a giant gaslighting project and although I know i'm right in my assumption, I've never been able to put it in words like this man.
    Yes the problem is that project climate change is a western project. The rest of the worlds doesn't care. I fear the way we handle the problem with the climate is going to set us all in a disadvantage because we are focusing on the wrong things. And now I know why I have this thought. We are focusing on the wrong things. We need to solve the problem with clean energy and we are not doing that. We also need to have cyclic thinking about materials meaning how to reuse things in stead of dumping them. We are doing that to a degree but it should be a core value.
    In stead we have a growing army of bureaucrats creating ever complicated survaillance systems to monitor the usage of carbon creating a whole new sector that need to be fed and paid by consumers. Making everything even more expensive. And I'm part of that army because I have to spend time surveying regulations, talking regulations and controlling regulations. Somebody has to pay me for doing that and that person is the consumer. I didn't have to do this work before and there is no other workload that I got rid of.
    No way China, India, South America and Africa is going to follow that example from the west. So whatever their solution to the climate is going to be, the west will just have really expensive goods that brings little to no extra value to those parts of the world.

      Exactly!! I used to go to India, S. America, Mexico, China, Etc, and I knew "climate change" was a ridiculous fantasy for much of the world with rampant poverty... Where people worry about just putting food on the table THAT DAY...
      This a wealth capture and transfer from the prosperous West to the poverty & disease-ridden rest of the world, so EVERYONE will be poor, except the "elites" ..
      Who give nothing to charity, do nothing for the poor, greedy, nasty predators.

      you know why the other countries don't care? It's only partially because they are poor. Very. Go to the megacities in Asia and you'll feel like a hillybilly back in Europe.
      I tell why they don't care: Because they are rational. They look at the actual arguments. The fact that there is not a single experiment which can show climate change as an effect of CO2. A claimed(!) 1K warming direct by a doubling(!) of the CO2 - the rest hypothetical positive feedback loops. Like built in death traps, never observed in nature, never happened in our past. Read the Tech Reports of the IPCC. I did. I am a Physicist but you you don't have to be one to understand that there is not one single experiment where even in a lab a significant warming by GHE was shown. Not one single formula of that so called "science" made it into standard physics.
      It's all one big hoax, so obvious when you check the history of alarmism, why they invented it and what goals and business model they pursue. And I am so disappointed by joe average in the west. That he is, most obviously, intellectually, not en par with kim yong foo in Seoul or wherever in Asia you want to check back.

      'Climate Change' is a Globalist project. Globalists (your army of bureaucrats) care about manmade 'climate change'; Globalists don't care about Humanity. In fact, Human creativity is the nemesis of Globalists. Globalists bend 'science' such that CO2, (the one required by all plant life), is now outlawed, but chemtrails, bunker fuel dumps and expensive, manmade 'energy' poisons the skies, the lands and our oceans- these are promoted as 'saving the planet' by Globalists. "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write... But those who cannot unlearn the lies they have been taught to believe." Meanwhile, myocarditis is becoming normalized, same as they normalized autism decades ago. Awaken, Humanity, to your enemy.

    Over the last 4 or 5 years the Triggernometry podcast has helped save my sanity. Mainly because it’s made me aware of the silent majority. That’s us folks - we work full time, if there’s a job available, we pay out rent/mortgage, we love, treasure n guide our children and try to be useful members of our local society. Without out the silent majority, the noisy minority (empty vessels) of society would bring everything crashing down around our ears. They’re full of complaints but have no alternative, practical solutions. Wokery = a lot of talk, but, little or no walk. Thanks again Konstantin, am very grateful for your bravery and truth. Much respect to Francis too. ❤
