- NEWSFLASH: (CNN) New York City declares a climate emergency. It's the largest city in the US, with over 8.62 million inhabitants.
The New York City Council passed the legislation Wednesday [June 26th], calling for an immediate response to the global climate crises. The bill referenced several reports on the state of global warming and its impact, imparting that extreme weather events brought about by rising temperatures demonstrates that the planet is "too hot to be a safe environment."

"We are the asteroid"
I like the metaphor, completely out of control
Jesus Christ, is really great to just hear a line of people being optimistic AND focused on getting shit done.
Well better late than never, even if it turns out to be too late. Time will tell, and we have few pages left in this book, lets just try and hope there is a sequel.

@@donfields1234 thx for the positivity 😊
well done NYC ....now what is my home city doing, time to step up! Sydney City Council
It's hard sometimes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, but anything worth doing is worth doing well.
Tell that to your President
Very good to see. Still about 100,000 cities to go
NO FIREWORKS
About time one of the biggest gorging consumer societies got REAL. Make sure you follow through New York!
Here from England please don’t let us down New York show the rest of us that we can all do this!!! This has made me cry thank you for caring.
It's a disgrace to be a Canadian. We aren't leading to stop climate change. We are still supporting corporations. There needs to be a separation of corporation and state. People fighting climate change aren't talking about stores open seven days a week burning fossil fuels that have their lights on. It's no different than plastic bags etc. I can honestly see the end coming. People are addicted to shopping, even if they aren't shopping. It bothers people that if the stores are closed, what will they do if they need something? It's simple plan ahead. Use your cell phone to remind you of items that you need ahead of time. Another lying propaganda lie told to people having stores open seven days a week creates work. Have you seen everything open seven days a week to create work? One example in my area are letter carriers they work Monday to Friday delivering mail at a good wage. Retail workers work low income and there shifts are spread out in a seven day cycle. It's easy to take advantage of low income people when you pay them poverty wages. It's easy to be open all these hours , because of low wages. Now that people think they need something open all the time baffles me. Life hasn't improved for the workers. The public has been scammed. Families no longer have time to be together and our planet is suffering the consequences as well. Everything from lights to clear cutting etc has to be changed. We are in a climate breakdown. Animals are becoming extinct. More diseases, wild fires. I honestly see the end coming and it bothers me. It bothers me that all the people speaking out about climate change don't even discuss store hours. I guess they are scared of losing support. Just remember a majority of people can be wrong about anything. So corporations & the media have people believing the majority of people love to shop seven days a week. We have been lied and scammed so many times over shopping hours it's hard to know what everyone thinks. If we don't change our ways and soon mother nature will do it for you. We'll have no store hours. Storms will knock out power, food will be scarce . The writing is on the wall. I know I have a challenge to change your mind. It's like convincing a alcoholic to give up beer if he doesn't want to. But it can be done. People once believed that Harper was a good Prime Minister , and he was voted out. So there is always hope that the majority will wake up before it's too late. If you agree isn't it time you also take a stand? Your silence is helping these corporations destroy this planet. ( My comments to all the people fighting Climate change)
In Canada and the world.
Vote Ms May in next Fed Election
@@ladyslipperland Trudeau he was raised to treat world-class leaders yet hasn't quite got that now he's at a much better table than when he was a child. Then to compete with the generally kind-hearted neighbors who are people care yet some of its leaders aren't getting the memo the ruining the Great spirit rain forest of the North that " we in the North" are upset by high-speed boaters, who tell Whales to eat Seal when they eat krill, that we shouldn't need to be apologetic to say that all boat traffic is killing our whales and to slow down. and in the world of fake news, people don't listen to typed words video is the short cut to typed out language seeing the Canadian reality what we live with, they are a tad focused on themselves, but here's the video anyways. ruclips.net/video/-TgP_8rd5NM/видео.html
Not to rub salt in the wound but have you looked at West Canada on google maps. It is riddled with fracking mines. There are over a million.
Grateful for this step in this imperative direction for the survival of the humans. I must admit I do feel so saddened by the denial and apathy of my family, friends, coworkers, and others in my community but know this means I must rise up to be a warrior for Mother Earth. Rise up with me! The time is now. ✌🏿
Same for me because it’s been weighing heavy on my mind for the past few years and it’s like a lot of people are just oblivious and don’t care enough!!!
Show them the proof geologists used thru taking large cores of Earth. It shows the temp changes and shows the huge increase over the past 100yrs of industrial revolution. Its irrefutable.
Ppl take chances with their religion, faith based, no real proof, and alter their lifestyles so they may have everlasting life. That is not irrefutable but they live as it is. (As an example).
Scientists study n create medicine and tell us to live a healthy lifestyle. Ppl trust them when stricken with diseases.
The Earth is a living organism just like all other living organisms and Earth is sick and becoming erratic. If a person gets too hot, we can die from heat stroke.
Its sad America is #1 in climate change denial. We know what that is about. Oh, Bhutan’s CO2 emissions are in the neg bc how they live.
I dont have ppl around me claiming its bs, but perhaps we should round up lots of examples like these as ammo to counter their corp conspiracy claims, n share them.
Its worth the try. Good luck.

I never use the word "believe". It's a meaningless and confusing word.
Science is about facts, observations, measurements, EVIDENCE!
Science is about understanding the world (Universe) we are part of.
I cringed too. Saying "believe" instead of "understand" is just giving deniers ammunition.
I’m a well-read scientist, but I don’t presume to know the fine details of climate science. I accept the contentions of the scientific community not because I checked their measurements or replicated their models, but because I have faith that they’re accurate.
In short, I believe them. There is an element of blind faith not in science itself, but in how we all relate to it.
Thank you Extinction Rebellion for all your hard work. 💛💛🌎🌎🌎
Can we 'change' the language, please? It's no longer climate change, but, a climate breakdown emergency.
It's also an ecological emergency.
@@muse0ver Of course, that's why all of this combined is called the 6th mass extinction to which, humanity has fallen into the trap as it closes.
@@muse0ver Gone beyond that too, as it's not called the 6th mass extinction "event" for nought!
Kudos to Extinction Rebellion NYC for being the catalyst that caused NYC to make this declaration of climate emergency.
I agree with everything except that "greatest city in the world" crap.
Everybody says that about their own city. Nothing to be upset about.
@@Cuiva Ha ha! I've never Britain say that in my life. :D Probably because there are too many negative, grumpy gits over here (or at least, the last generation); things are changing though. Attitudes have seriously improved these past few years. :-) People are going green, becoming vegan, planting trees, doing litterpicks and beach cleans. It's wonderful. ^_^
He says he wants to avoid the 6th mass extinction but the glass is already cracking. Meanwhile the Amazon is being taken down at an unprecedented and furious pace - like an end-of-the-world party.
@@Cuiva Agreed. Like how Chicago is the best ;)
Thank you x
What's bothering me is that they have to tell "I believe in climate change", like if to say "I believe in god", it's not about beliefs and opinions, it's about facts and scientific consenssus ...
New Yorkers should ALL read the book Extreme Cities by Ashley Dawson. New York City figures prominently in the book.
Singingway Have you read either book by Oppenlander?!?

Thank You to Bernie Sanders for helping bring attention to climate change! He’s been the first candidate to have been addressing these issues and is the reason why its a topic in the presidential debates
finally, finally, go, go, go and get other cities to follow until the whole world is in. We should go for #shiftyear2020 after which consciously doing more harm to the planet is considered criminal.
Finally some politicians get it. This is great news but its a dollar short and a day too late. Call me a pessimist but if we weren't at 1.8°C already with at least another degree baked in, it would be encouraging. Catastrophic damage has already occurred, a mass extinction is well underway, runaway climate change is now a given. I would be interested when they figure out a way to refreeze the Arctic or even expediently pull CO2 from the environment at scale. As it stands, this legislation is little more than lip service for abrupt climate change deniers that want to further the status quo of our industrial civilization. Infinite growth on a finite planet is unsustainable. When something is unsustainable, by definition, it will end.
I agree
Great!
Wonderful!
huge news, amazing step forward
I have too hand it to you. You sure know how to persuade the sheeple.
Thank you New York, GOD bless!
Good for you New York finally some senses
Well done New York!!!
Fabulous! Congratulations New York!
New York is totally not the greatest city in the world...
I would like to see what that really means. I've been watching some of those documentries and there is a dark side on it. These shows blame the population increase on climate change.
I would like to know what measures they are thinking on taking. What exactly they propose on inmediate emergency?
It's not to late for NYC. You can always get your estates money back selling the tickets to the biggest water park ever.
Well done New York! Well done! Together we can do this!
Take that london? We all live on the planet... we're on the same team. Well done new york, hope you inspire more action 👏 lets do this together
at last!!
"take that London"
lmao!
They can say "Take that London" when they actually deliver the results. On that note, they actually NEED our (Britain's) help because the US don't know how to make wind farms (I saw it in a video where the British were going over there to teach them. I'm not angry with America over this, just relieved they're going green now as supposed to listening to Donald Voldemort Trump).
Shower no more than once a week, put a cap on how waste a household can throw away a week, ration the amount of clothes a person can buy a year, ban private cars in the city centers etc. These are concrete measures that can be taken.
Another marketing and industrial angle. Civilisation is a heat engine and they keep feeding the fire.
The world should be reorganizing itself into more efficient smaller units. A city & a surrounding area for agriculture, with its own energy supply,is ideal. The great benefit to this is that the people can control more easily their environment. For example, would a city state of Flint allow the poisoning of their water supply? The time of stateless corporations, beholden to no population of citizens, must end. The globalization of finance & industry has allowed for the destruction of the environment in places where they do not even pay the locals for the privilege. A national government is quite happy to allow mining in their territory, despite any protest against it by people who will be directly affected by it. Democracy truly works when the decision makers live amongst the people they are making decisions for.
If you believe in Climate Change, you have a responsibility to go AGAINST the status quo of everyday life. Use less, shop locally, biking and sustainable transportation, start community gardens, protest, etc. We have to go against the grain for the sake of a habitable future.
Troy Propes You forgot about becoming “vegan” or eating an exclusively plant-based diet. 🙄

Great work New York!
Great that climate science is breaking through the noise funded by big oil and gas.
❤🙏👍
yay
Adapt? Adapt to what? Adapt to not eat? Adapt to go without drinking water?

WAKE UP!!
Thank you for the important video.
Sorry for the translation errors. I'm using google translator.
For those who are not longtime scientists and researchers, we are not sure whether the planet and humans can be saved from extinction or not, because there are experts with differing opinions. So the only certainty we have is about the logical consequences, as if the planet is destroyed, so will human beings. If the planet is damaged, we will suffer the consequences, as if we make a hole in the boat, the boat sinks with the whole family. If we drive recklessly, we could have a fatal disaster, or get off the road and fall off a cliff. If we lay our hands on the fire, we will suffer painful burns, and if we saw the support beams of our house, the house collapses above our heads. So, as we know, it is necessary to live very carefully, also in relation to our Planet, observing the consequences that may happen in the future, so as not to get into tragedies and great sufferings. There is an absolute worldwide certainty, without divergent opinions, observed, studied and proven by all scientists, researchers and geniuses of all mankind, since the ancient time of the great geniuses, as the 5th century BC Greek mathematician and architect Phidias who designed the Parthenon, the Greek mathematician and father of geometry Euclid 2300 years ago, the Greek philosopher Plato, the 13th century Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci of the Middle Ages, the 16th century Italian monk Luca Pacioli, the scientist, mathematician, inventor, painter , Italian engineer, architect and botanist Leonardo da Vinci and others, whose absolute certainty says that everything, absolutely everything in the universe, from the atoms of our DNA to the infinite galaxies, absolutely everything, was and is created, without lack, the famous Golden Ratio, or the Divine Ratio, which is harmony, perfection, common sense, and balance. If the Creator Energy of the Universe is so keen to keep absolutely everything within that standard of harmony, perfection, common sense and balance, then, without a doubt, it also makes a point of keeping absolutely everything within the Order, Ethics and Justice, a fact that has also been observed and proven from ancient times to today by the many events that followed many human beings, as if it were a universal rule or an immutable universal law, rewarding and rewarding deserving people, and otherwise correcting and compensating for the imbalances of others. Thus, for example, if an individual causes harm to a person or the environment, and does not take appropriate steps to correct his mistake and compensate him in some way, common sense tells us that he will need to suffer somehow the correctives and compensations needed, when the time is right and in sync with the Universe, so that the unbalance of their attitude is corrected and the equilibrium of the Universe restored, just as the rectilinear and uniform equilibrium of the water surface of the oceans is always corrected and restored, unfailingly and invariably, even if a single drop of water is removed from them. Therefore, as we know, in order to have a peaceful, safe life, peace and happiness, it is certainly smarter and more advantageous to undoubtedly seek to live and do everything with kindness of heart and detachment of spirit in relation to one's neighbor and one's surroundings. environment, and try to do everything we can, under the conditions we are in, to correct and compensate for some flaws, for which we believe we have some responsibility. So, whatever happens to the Planet or the World, we will be at peace with our own Consciousness, knowing that we have done our best to live as properly as possible under the conditions we were in.
Good for you, NYC, I hope it´s not too late. It´s a great thing, a milestone of sorts, because New York is the one place that doesn´t ask permission when it decides what´s important in the world. Not ever. If New York says it´s real, the rest of us have to follow. We´d all better, or New York will become a legend among the few survivors there may be left, as a story about a place that mattered, once.
We're making steps the better ones .
Congratulations, New York City! And now we all must do our part. The production of dairy & meat products is a major contributor to catastrophic climate change. Go vegan to protect all life on earth. This is something in your control. You can save the world with your fork.
Sharon Hall I agree and thank you for sharing this vital information! Peace to you!!
You don't have to go vegan, just to eat less of these products. We can't expect everyone to go vegan, but we can ask they have less of it.
@@thedanger8919 Until we figure out carbon capture, everyone should go vegan. The permafrost melting is set to more than double the current CO2 in the atmosphere. If that happens, it's game over. It may already be too late, so there isn't any carbon budget left to spare for frivolous things like meat.
Are they drinking on plastic cups?
WE are NOT ALL Responsible... When a SINGLE company (Exxon) is ranked #5 in CO2 Global emission, i beg to differ that WE are all responsible.
MONEY and GREED is responsible.
no single person is responsable ?! i disagree
tobias bley you’re wrong
Too late.
Good to know that our entire country is not as backwards as Trump and his goons in D.C.
"The I(s) have it !" this is a giant step for the Biosphere ! Now, Let's address the deforestation issue in Brazil. It is not a Brazilian problem, not an America's problem, it is the earth's lungs and the oxygen that I breathe here in Paris which is at stake... ! What higher level action are we taking to make things change and stop deforestation completely by the end of the year ??
Eloquent speeches...
Empty without delivering results. I'll cheer when I see the results.
Theclimatemobilization.org is the key group first to identify climate AS a crisis, and advocate for emergency response.
Singingway are you familiar with ClimateHealers.Org as well?!?
@@GraceLorraine ClimateHealers.org are conspiracy theorists.
Who actually is the biggest funder of green energy? Old oil 😆.
Same old, same old
Duh......
New York should go ALL ELECTRIC with the help of Elon Musks Tesla Energy.
This is a declaration and very few people will be willing to do anything that will make a significant change in human impact. Even worse the developed world will increasingly be the minor contributor with developing nations becoming the main contributors of human impact. This isn’t just a climate question it’s a human impact question. Every drop of hydrocarbons will be consumed and forests, wildlife sanctuary’s will be further exploited. We will answer the question of CO2 and it’s impact because CO2 levels will reach the levels feared.
Well done, New York! ❤️
New York isn't the greatest city in the world.
Too little too late. The planet is doomed already.
I like and don't like this post
Electing Bernie will be a MAJOR step in the right direction.
Please do so America.
free propaganda
Humanity will NOT end, please stop using words like apocalyptic and extinction when speaking about climate change!
Life finds a way and so will we!
