Extreme Weather. Famine. Disease. What is a Climate War? | FACELESS THREATS

Like war and conflict, extreme weather events pose a serious threat to millions of people around the world. It’s only recently that we’re seeing global leaders begin to take the threat of global warming, more commonly referred to as climate change, seriously. The calls for their militaries to provide humanitarian aid to those affected by disaster grow louder…
When we think of natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, we usually think they happen to "someone, somewhere else" but recent extreme weather incidents like floods and fires in Europe show that this isn't the case. In this episode of Faceless Threats, Ben Cook, former Royal Marines Commando, speaks to leading experts and explores what role militaries play during a natural disaster.

I detailed a very comprehensive document to powers that be in 4 regions (hoping it would reach the senate) detailing how to form Civil Disaster Units in this country and others without the dependence on military. And provide training/ work opportunities. Military require mandates and have other commitments, we know this, so talk of increasing military specifically deal with such events will only screw up planning and defence budgets. This was first documented in 2019. Very cost effective model which would provide training for the Civil Industry and more. Rubicon have a copy which probably hit the trash can and a few MPs and Mayors of regions mainly affected. Should get to Parliament some time next decade. Germany have 83,000 Volunteers with some very good kit for dealing with this stuff. Like the TA / Engineers without guns. Everything from bomb disposal to disaster relief. I'm off to bed then up for a quality steak. Don't try to save the planet, prepare for the future and make the transition.

Time after time we are told about the number of communities that are virtually wiped out by floods, fires and other disasters. Mainly because they are built on flood prone areas. In Australia we come across this every year and more so since climate weather events produce more severe flooding. It is mainly because councils and other government organizations have allowed developers to build on flood and fire prone areas. It is time that governments put more effort into making sure that any developments have a properly prepared community-wide understanding of the long-term risks associated with the developments.

In Scotland they do but not so in England. Thus might be due to lack of space that can be developed. There are moves to change this I think.

Awesome video as always. Interesting perspective from a military stand-point as well.

Revelations man. Revelations. :)

Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet..
