with issues like this, no matter how many nice community projects we could or would do, everyone must act. All emissions must be stopped. You can never convince billions of people with nice examples and logic, there's always gonna be deniers or people preferring to just talk endlessly with logical fallacies instead of doing something (like maybe I am, but that's beside the point). At the same time, capitalism never cared about any imperialist wars, doesn't care about any g***cides happening today and won't care when billions of people will be displaced. So the only way I see through which we can prevent a catastrophe is by huge government projects, which I only see China doing. In western democracies, that could only happen once the situation gets so bad that even even we struggle with heat, or when clean water becomes scarce. Barely then the average centrist liberal will see that we must unite and act against emissions, and it will be very late, and even then it's not certain the reactionaries won't win. The other way is through left wing revolutions either communist or anarchist, which to be honest, I'm much much rather afraid of every single country in the west having fascist revolutions, rather than hopeful that even one left wing revolution will succeed (in the next 50 years). So I'm not sure most of us will have a democratic way of stopping emissions. So only if we win everywhere, we could achieve 0 emissions in the west, and I don't even know about the situation in other countries but only if everywhere else we win, we could avoid mass dehydration. I'm not any sort of doomer, I'm willing to get in touch with nice people in my country Romania and start organizing a left wing for when the populist right fails and people look for another alternative, but if I'm being honest I think we already lost against the climate crisis before we could even have any meaningful vehicle to fight it with.

did you just censor palestine

We need to remember that climate warming and it's effects are going to get worse *gradually*. There is no 'doomsday'. Things are just going to get very slowly worse over the next few decades to centuries.

Big oil and big money ran a disinformation campaign against climate change. They have no shifted to collaps.

The collapse of economies, next year will finally reduce emissions. Famines, etc, will continue to cause reductions

Billions in oil money, buys World leaders.

Plot Summary: We're fucked

Yes, the future is mostly ruined & you can thank corporations.

I understand your reasoning but I completely disagree that this is the right way to bring about meaningful change. To end climate change we should not be creating a parallel society with our own food production and distribution. This method is slow and expensive, though building a community and connection this way is good at getting the message out, it is not a long term or even a necessary solution. Community can and should be built but it cannot succeed if you start by disregarding the system. Something Environmentalists and leftists continually fail to recognise is that farmers are not corrupt capitalists. Farmers are victims of capitalism as much as anyone, they often have to deal with selling to monopolies and are subjected to the market in a business which cannot change when prices do, if you’ve planted wheat you’re going to harvest and sell wheat whether it’s a loss or not because the market changes between crop cycles but your crops don’t. not to mention how they rely on luck with the weather. In the UK especially many farmers are actually doing pretty poorly, but they continue farming, you know why? Because they understand they feed people, farming is meaningful work and provides a meaningful life because they know they provide the basis for society, they live poor die rich. To disregard the power of integrating farmers into the movement is irresponsible. Industrial farming with artificial fertilisers and sprays is not just cheap and efficient, but it is the only way to feed the world, when many are negligent of the environment it is often to make a living. Farmers are necessary and to ignore these hardworking people who value the people of this planet as much as you and I is irresponsible. To manifest real change we need to work together, not to build our own society, but to threaten the existence of the current one so that we may supplant it with our own or improve it with compromise. Unions and industrial action can do this, and I dare say that farmers deserve a union as much as all industries. Strikes threaten the supply and profits of the businesses that run the world, strikes pose a threat to the people in power and as a result they will compromise and concede. A union will lead to more meaningful change than a self sufficient community because a self sufficient community is impossible in our globalised, developed world. Who will make the e-bikes? Who produces the asphalt for the roads or pavement for paths? Who produces the solar panels for the communities’ growth? This is a society ultimately still subservient to industry and capitalism, if you want meaningful change we need to challenge capitalism with strikes and unions. Once most all workers are unionised, and the people of this world are ready for change they should overthrow the capitalist system and supplant it with a system subservient not to the rich, but to the people, perhaps in a few rapid events or over many many years or likely a mix of both. The seeds to such a system lies in the unions, which should become a democratic managerial body of their industry as they work with a democratic government to run the economy. The capitalist system is too entrenched to replace, it is only by working within its borders through gradual or sudden (if conditions are right) reform that change can be achieved.

the temperature has peaked your nonsense will be a mere memory of when we collectively went nuts.

halfway through, i got an ad for an antarctica cruise lol

begging you to take out the unnecessary earsplitting censor beeps.... want to support the good message but it's unwatchable like this.

Natural selection of sentient species. Either we pass through the great filter, or we dont. Doesnt matter to me, anyway, idgaf.

Man bear pig IS real!!

Sorry to burst your bubble of hope, but humanity as we know it are screwed. I'm just gonna set myself up so I can help locals in my area through the disaster. I have advice I can share. Learn. Learn as much as you can, both about surviving, politics, and anything else used to run society. Keep your bonds with others strong, we must stand together if we are to endure the wrath of our homeworld.

We lost a long time ago 🫤

I think Cory Doctorow's Walkaway outlines an interesting vision here. The solution there is to find technological solutions that allow small communities to thrive outside of the global economy. The exact details of how that technology should work are hand-wavy in a Star Trek like fashion, and often too magical to be realistic. But I think that it should be possible in principle to build alternative societies outside the current one that are competitive in terms of human welfare. Most irl alternatives I've seen so far have been largely dependent on tapping into the global economy in one way or another. And that usually makes those alternatives unscalable. Unlikely to grow past the size of a few enthusiastic souls. That's what need to be overcome. One's that happens the movement could become very self-reinforcing, since it would no longer rely on individuals having umbilical cord connections to the "old economy" to grow.

-"So what is the solution?" -Eco-terr...? Community! Ye-yes, exactly...

Dude we are to late our window for stopping climate change was actually around 1970 to 1990. The only thing we can do now is damage control and yet nobody wants to do that either.

I dont get why people don't care more about this topic. It is arguably the most important issue we should be focusing on right now as every other problem we have would not be relevant if the fucking earth is inhabitable from our actions. We are slowly poisoning ourselves and future generations with our exponential carbon output and unsustainable business practices. There is plastic in all if us by now for god sakes. Why does no one care?

Great video! I think a lot about how technology is unfortunately abused due to its links with capitalist development, but intent means and does so much! A solarpunk world would 100% have much better applications for the advancements.

What is vault techs customer support number? I need to make a purchase.

Well the age of the meat grinder has began. 🙃

The people here who still deny climate change are evidence of the lack of their brain cells. Wow.

It was a JOKE, little sister, a prank. Your falling for it doesn't make it true.

Give it a rest already. What has failed is a pathetic attempt to politicize literally talking about the weather. This 'crisis' has primarily been one of suborning perjury from so-called 'science', as meanwhile these unwieldy and profiteering 'solutions' such as silly and pretentious 'electric vehicles' or hideous, dangerous and ineffectual 'wind turbines' sprouting up everywhere like weeds, had never been intended to somehow magically ease down some nonexistent planetary thermostat (as if), but rather to stuff piles of cash into the greedy pockets of such two-faced speculators as this Musk creature (how's that been working out?), and relying on do-gooder useful idiots such as this channel to do their marketing for them. Find another fabricated cause for panic, this one's grown boring.

I just don’t understand why it’s so hard to do anything now when we have been able to to stop other climate problems in the past. Acid rain isn’t a problem anymore and the ozone layer is healing because we stopped doing the things that were causing that to happen. Why is everyone dragging their feet over this?

I used to be so passionate about pursuing a career involving protecting nature and wildlife. But with the last several years, i feel like I've lost all drive thanks to people like Trump stomping all over the things that have any meaning to me.

On the bright side, the human race will finally go extinct

PersonaIy am cautiously optimístic that western foks shall reälise that cappitalism is not even doing any good for them. The peoples of the impérial períphery will have hope'fully already broken off by then as we enter into a multi-pollar world. I realy don't think global civilizátion will colaps, but even if it does, there's no way that's the end of mankînd as a 'holl

The West is lost. The rest of the world may come through.

Relax. Life is strong. Enjoy our wonderful planet. Such fear mongering.

Without capitalism and innovation, "Solarpunk" and most green tech we have today would not exist. The current impact we have on the environment is still catastrophic, but it's one of the better timelines. Ecological collapse is not some evil ploy by capitalists who want to burn the environment, it's an inevitable consequence of our massive industrialized human population. Many people don't like hearing this, but the reason why we keep damaging the environment through industry is that people want to lead good lives and companies respond to the demand. Some idealize the ancient hunter gatherer societies or whatever, but the best quality of life humans can achieve was brought forth by liberal capitalism. The only things we can do now is try to mitigate the damage and use our resources efficiently, which non-capitalist systems are incapable of. Also there's no excuse for not eating plant-based diets, it's not some sort of privileged lifestyle, just buy corn, tofu and beans for god's sake.

I think you have good intentions here, but the thing why solarpunk movement is just another utopia is the fact that everything that's too collectivist, focuses on community rather than rights of an individual ends up being forced to anyone who wants to be different. That's tyrrany at the end. It may seem good on paper, but we are not robots or ants. Each of us have various goals and are different in what we want. I agree though, that climate change has to be taken much much more seriously with some more radical regulations and more green tech innovation. Look at plastic pollution for example, it's horrible. But we should find a way to tackle this without abolishing freedom of individual. I think capitalism along with strict enviro regulations can do that, if the demand for real green sustainable solutions is high enough. So theoretically, if many people are truly persuaded they really want greener energy and are willing to invest in it, the market will eventually solve this. If not, then strict regulations.

If you think 230 billion is pittance, or that it's fine to kick out France by calling it colonial empire, while ignoring Russia and China and propaganda they are doing... Sorry you are just a crazy leftist and your sort is equally to blame for nothing being done as the fossil fuel lobbyists. Go suck Putin's and Xi's dongs communist!

I'm just along for the ride at this point. We learned this as kids. Nothing has changed. Things will only get worse

People who want to stop climate change can just say that they like snow and don’t want it to disappear, then move on

People who like trees can buzz off. Trees are an annoying waste of space and I dislike people trying to preserve them

Meh, a CME will probably get us first

I feel I should mention this -the earth will be fine. Life will continue. That is, after many species (likely including us), die. It’s not a matter of the Earth dying, but of us.

There is no WE. There is only "Corporatioms sold us to our deaths"

But something can be done. A certain green plumber is a recent example.

Anyone who is denying climate change at this point needs to go outside lol (literally)

Yep, we had one last chance to turn this thing around and now there’s no hope. Prepare for the end that’s all we can do now.

We're still catching up to 20 years of exponentially increasing emissions, there is no 'solving' the climate crisis. At this point all we're going to do it shorten length of time it takes to get to the plateau. We don't know what things will look like when we get there, but I'd almost put money on it being above 4 degrees since it's not yet 2030 and we're above 1.5 and rapidly approaching 2 degrees. Community is great, and I'm all for it but it's going to be to try and adapt to what's coming.

Jesus christ what's with all the doomers in the comment section?

I think there is already somebody taking action to solve the climate crisis. For example, energy companies selling electricity, they provide cheap electricity at night or offpeak times as these times are when the grid is the greenest. Also, renewable energy transition infrastruktures are expanding, like more wind turbines and better transmission lines.

time to look up Murray Bookchin

Over-eating is the number one cause of this. Ultra processed food causes lack of satiety signals from the gut, due to micro biome changes, then excessive farming happens to meet the ridiculous excessive demand for food per person in fat countries. Ultra processed food corporations must be boycotted by teaching everyone from a young age to bake and cook all their own meals AND all their own snack foods. chocolate and crisps are fine if homemade from scratch.

It’s only over when society collapses. We can still make things better
