    For one thing, climate change shouldn't be politicized. It's a scientific event.

      Why shouldn't it be politicized? How would changes be made if policies aren't created? We have laws for everything else.

      Exactly. That's what is mostly heard from people like this. Just pointing out problems for everyone else to fix, almost never suggesting any solutions of their own besides some vague big-picture initiatives. No practical suggestions of what normal people can do to make a change.

      Not even any real problems.
      Just hot air and a whole lotta "look at me, look at me!"

      @@nikajinpusno9563 thats cause there isn't a whole lot "normal people" can do until big corporations start making changes. we can cut back our meat intake, electricity usage etc. but most of the climate problem comes from governments refusing to act on issues affecting the earth. Maybe think of that before coming after a woman who's trying to promote changes to help our future 🙄

    Social Justice isn't justice. It doesn't care about justice or the truth

    Imagine humans from thousands of years ago saying this and up until end of 19th century. Hey you! Provide for me my king or government or ruler! Build my log house for me, give me a farm to live off of, provide someone to take care of it for me. come on people think for yourselfs. critical thinking and paying attention to the OPINION words and listening busts this whole waste of time speech.

    What is the injustice we are to derive from this video? Is it that 1st world nations do not also suffer as significantly from weather events like 3rd world nations? Is it blame we should place on 1st world nations that those nations cause these weather events? History is long, and recent recordings of weather events are only anectodal. Would we be able to compare the "weather displacement" rates of the last 20 years to the last 200 years? Would people over 100 years ago have simply died from weather, whereas now displacement and survival is viable?
    How were the forest fires a result of climate change? You bring up this event, but draw no correlation to how climate change, or green house gases, caused these fires (which I assume is why you brought up the event).
    Guilting the privileged is a great way to get money out of them, but are we being honest here?

    • @SrubyS

      The purpose of discussing climate justice isn't to cause guilt in privileged nations (meaning those who will be less affected by climate change events, yet also those who are responsible for the biggest emissions)
      Guilt won't help avoid millions of future deaths related to climate events
      The purpose of such discussions is first to highlight that even climate change events are shaped by social justice issues
      Such arguments show that those involved in social justice movements, those who want societies that give all members more equal opportunities without privileging specific groups, must make climate concerns central to their fight. As well as showing that those involved in the fight to save our planet must act on the knowledge that minorities will be the worst affected by dangerous climate events (floodings, hurricanes, sea level rise over the next 50+years, heat waves, etc).
      The unprivileged minorities are already at the front of the fight to save our planet - cf indigenous people in the Amazon amongst other examples -.
      The question of responsibility for the current situation is not meant to cause guilt but instead raises the moral question of who must act: the governments with the most power to cause change (often not those belonging to poor countries where other issues can be higher priority), if these governments belong to the industrialised nations who over the last centuries have been responsible for the highest emissions, then that is a plus (morally).
