Rather than accumulate stuff, I choose to live modestly, work as little as possible and use my savings to travel via backpacking, paddling, sailing and bicycle to visit remote places with the least amount of human impact so I could view wildlife and wild places. Over my 74 year life, I've seen the 6th great extinction happening first hand and it is heartbreaking how fast we are eliminating our fellow species of plants and animals. I'm glad I got to see it before it is gone.
Roger, you are an idiot. You are nature. And Humanity is the failed experiment of evolution. But at the end of the day, nature will survive. Without Humanity.
I listen to a wide range of political and social podcasters. Not even the most brilliant of them ever mentions wildlife. Everything is about the rights of human beings - of blacks, of women, of human fetuses, of illegal immigrants, of cats and dogs, of gun owners - but those that cannot fight for their own rights are never mentioned: The golden-crowned kinglet, the tree it nests in, the bug it eats. These are cutesy things maybe worthy of children’s books, not of serious adult contemplation. The forest fire is simply a threat to human homes and first responders; even good … for media news and political squabbles. Full stop. They seem completely blind to the fact that the canaries in the mines are dying like flies, along with everything that makes this planet more like heaven than hell. I’m sorry for our grandchildren that those stories of wonder are now no more than history.
@@wendyfrith3407 it's all about tax dollars, wildlife can't pay or raise tax dollars, sooooo, yuh, they're too poor to get attention, they should try being an over the top simp for Trump- billionaire, that gets attention...
Good post wendyfrith, this is why it's imperative that civilization collapse and human population decline to a much smaller % to save what's left. And it needs to happen fast, because in 30-40 years what's remaining doesn't stand a chance. What a sad world it will be with only humans, rats, cockroaches, raccoons, alligators, seagulls, pets and the farm animals people eat. The oceans are on the way out from lack of oxygen or too acidic. And anoxic oceans will produce a form of acid that once in the hydrologic system will rain down on terrestrial Earth and all land animals will perish. What will be left will be microbes deep in the soil that will be the foundation for evolution of a new era of life forms far into the future.
I'm convinced only a small % of people have an appreciation for wild life and flora. The rest only want to know what economic advantage they might provide, and if they don't they're expendable. I'm part of the former but I realize the reality of the latter because there's no other way to explain the wholesale slaughter of so much wild life/flora.
I can't stress this enough, and have repeated myself til I'm blue in the face, "what you consume, and how you acquire it affects who you are and how you treat the least capable of your families within your society." So far, no one is listening or even acknowledging that.
Look across the gulf of space to see how imperative it is for mankind to preserve the lives of all the living things that live on this Eden with us. Life is rare, life is precious
One real problem can be seen even on this video. No life in our houses. Nor in streets, cities... Even our fields and forests are used for single specie growing platforms. Our love of dead and silent places is killing everything, including ourselves.
Over the last five years there had been a catastrophic crash in the insect populations around my property. My fruit trees and some garden plants are no longer getting pollinated and producing fruit. I was so concerned that I ended up contacting the EPA. I was told that since Trump, they were barred from investigating any ecological issues unless a corporation is losing money because of it.
I only ask because of the tariffs that this administration implimented, the fact they are building the wall on the Mexican border, and the generally conservative way our so-called progressive politicians behave.

One people, earthlings, who are seriously mistaken about life and everything! Since I was a child I was concerned about the chopping of the rain forest, but never did I believe it would get this bad. An individual can no longer cope with the degree of destruction. The more one knows; the greater the despondency! Thank you to all the biologists who have given their lives and every waking moment to educate us all. Without global solidarity, we are lost! But what a mess is humanity with our reprehensible leaders.
As with almost all other environmental issues, the most important thing we can do to help is choose a plant-based lifestyle and encourage others to do the same.
systemic problems require systemic solutions. individual(ist) lifestyle changes are good in terms of its influence on the crucial collective awareness process - but - they are also " very good" as potent cop out that avoids the actual systemic reality, while, indeed, "encouraging others to do the same" 🌏🌎🌍✊
@@aerobique Systemic change will only happen if we collectively make it happen. That will only happen if we make better individual decisions. No matter how much we protest, the psychopaths in charge will not change unless we make their current approach unprofitable. A vegan lifestyle, if adopted by a significant minority, wouldn't just bankrupt the animal agriculture industry, but also the agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and real estate investors, since 80% of those products are used for farming animals.
@@aerobique "systemic problems require systemic solutions" Very true, but of the four systems that need change the most--economic, political, energy, and agricultural systems, the agricultural system is the only one where individual choices could easily force it to reform. The payoffs are also enormous: Everyone isn't going to go vegan, but to understand the science of the issue, if everyone went vegan tomorrow, our carbon and water use footprints from our diets would drop ~50%, and we would need 75% less land to feed the world,. That in turn would allow us to re-wild and reforest an area the size of N. America plus Brazil, which would in turn allow us to naturally sequester over 600 billion tons of CO2 in the soil and the foliage, branches, , trunks, and roots of trees and plants. Marine biodiversity would rebound rapidly, sequestering additional carbon. But you are right that the bigger picture indicates the need for a broader transformation of our civilization, and there the news is sobering. This industrialized capitalist civilization is doomed to break down and mostly disappear because it flies in the face of Earth's limits and the laws of nature. We will have to de-industrialize the global economy and shrink it's energy and material use by over 55% while transitioning back to more localized, circular, and agrarian economies with MUCH simpler lifestyles and more manual labor and use of natural materials. To save the web of life, we must learn to do without the toxic plastics and man-made chemicals that we first invented and then became addicted to. Given that we clearly need BOTH individual change and systems change, I would raise an important moral and strategic point which is that saying that we only need systems change is an excellent cop out to protect people from the uncomfortable truth that they could and should be making changes in their own lives to reduce their own ecological footprints and to move the world closer to a social contagion tipping point at which living with less is normalized and lavish lifestyles (including middle class American lifestyles) are scorned. Take care.
Dear friends:The military confrontation in the Middle East has been terrible. Please try to recue the animals in that area by taking them to safe areas. It’s sad to see animals suffering so much. They should be evacuated as soon as possible. Thanks for your attention!
I bet that we have killed over 50% of ALL life from this planet. Specially losing trees has huge impacts. And even with our industrial single specie deathzones that we call farms, we still have killed much more. All trends leads to this way.
Contrary to prevailing religious mythologies, the Earth is not "all about humans". As a species, we have had "dominion" over all the Earth. And look what we are doing to it!
The Bible says we are made in God’s image and have dominion over the earth and every living thing in it. Indeed, the power of preservation or extinction is within our God-like grasp and it’s my opinion that being made in the image of the creator gives us a unique responsibility to preserve the lives of all of our planet’s creatures to the best of our ability
Yes treefrog, very irresponsible of our species. Civilization collapse is necessary to provide an opportunity for those that remain after the population bottleneck to operate at a higher consciousness level to live in greater balance with our surroundings. The only question is can that happen before this extinction event eliminates most other species?
God's direction to people is to be stewards of his Creation. But most people don't believe in God. And most people don't care about Nature. It's really depressing.
I am witnessing right now the effects of something so sublime as a Road Ditch is going to finish off what few Lizard’s, Frogs, Toads, Snakes & Terrapin’s are left! To them it may as well be the Grand Canyon! If I see one trapped in the Road I’ll stop & help them. But I can’t even feel like I’m helping when I put them back in a Clear Cut Pine Plantation!
Capitalism is horrible, but it's just a tool. People built, maintain, and exploit it. They use the same tactics as any cult leader or domestic abuser. They are narcissists, and they'll happily call themselves communists if they can use it to exploit people. Think the fauxgressives in the Squad, the capitalism in China, and remember that Julius Caesar was a Reformist.
I can’t wait for the wasting away phase to either be finished wasting us away from our misery, or for us to finally catch our fall before we plummet past the point of stopping anymore. Stay safe everyone.
It’s way past the point of ‘’if we continue’’ the last time the Earth had the current 427ppm of atmospheric CO2 the Seas were approx 80 feet higher. Also there is an approx 20 year time lag between increased atmospheric CO2 and its heating impacts on the climate, so we are not only at the beginning of what 427ppm will do, but the apocalyptic climate events we are now witnessing are from atmospheric CO2 of approx 20 years ago!. We have 5 years to reduce atmospheric CO2 down to a climate stable level of min 300ppm to avert worst case scenario of total extinction, but even IF we achieve that we will still witness extinction of most life on Earth within my lifetime and im 63!. We need 2 rapid transitions 1) a move to a plant based food system so we can reforest 78% of agricultural land, 2) a rapid transition to Decentralised Carbon Neg ( Non Fossilised) Algae Based Economies. Using Algae to clean our waste water, landfill runoff and industrial gasses would sequester vast quantities of atmospheric CO2, while producing valuable Biomass & Bio Oil that can be made into numerous Eco friendly Carbon Neg products!. ✊🏽🌎✊🏽🌻

I wonder how much money, in US dollars, would be needed to buy and protect enough of the Amazon to make a significant difference. And what can be done politically with Amazonian countries, especially Brazil to better protect and grow back damaged parts of the Amazon. My guess is that $100 Billion from the wealthy countries (the ones most responsible for degradation) would go a long ways but also be nothing in terms of their combined budgets.
Everything has to change radically. I think only when we pass the tipping point.s will we act seriously. I admire those at the WWF and elsewhere who are still able day in day out to preach and warn about our societies' obligation to act.
And when we pass any significant tipping point, it will be too late to do anything meaningful to prevent our extinction. So, if you think waiting to pass a tipping point and then showing the doubters and deniers .... SEE! I TOLD YOU SO!...... it will be a moot point.

Thank you for the data in the report, and the good intentions, unfortunately listening to your solution’s they do not take into account the 2nd and 4th law of thermodynamics, as well as Jevon’s paradox, etc. The solutions are similar to those offered in 1980; outdated.
The solutions are found in Permaculture A Designers' Manual. Unless and until humans design systems for life in all its forms the destruction will continue. Nice to read your comment concerning the normal hammered out pretend solutions.
We're not quite at the scale of the "big five" mass extinctions but we're certainly getting there. The scariest thing is that we can find a lot of parallels to the end permian mass extinction, the worst extinction event that killed 90% of life on the planet. Widespread volcanic activity put a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, lava might have burned coal deposits which made things much worse, melting permafrost would have released methane which accelerated global heating. Eerily similar to what we're facing today, and it happened over thousands of years instead of the rate of rapid heating over few centuries now. If you want to learn more i recommend the books "The Ends of the world" by Peter Brannen and "When life nearly died" by Michael Benton. The youtube video "The deadliest pattern in nature" by Gutsick gibbon also does a good job of summarizing the extinctions and relating it to whats happening now.
Here in my country Sweden most people still live as there is no.environmental destruction. They still elect leaders that will protect their style of life, and that includes young academics in their twenties. In a western democracy like Sweden, there will be impossible to get 50,1 procent of the votes i the national elections to make necessary changes.
"by 2030 to keep ourselves under 1.5 °C"? We blew by 1.5° well over a year ago. I have to believe you are aware of this. So why lie? Pathetic, no matter your rationalisation.
I probably won't listen to the whole thing, for the same reason I won't watch Dominion after already going vegan. But, here is my boost for the algorithm.
Commencement to Hobart in May, 1974. Kurt Vonnegut: "Bertrand Russell declared that, in case he met God, he would say to Him, “Sir, you did not give us enough information.” I would add to that, “All the same, Sir, I’m not persuaded that we did the best we could with the information we had. Toward the end there, anyway we had tons of information.”
Industrial civilization requires massive material and energy inputs. A global human population of 8 billion people is only possible with industrial civilization. The economic system that underlies industrial civilization is predicated by continual expansion, and cannot function in a state of contraction. Expanding industrial civilization (growth) = destruction of the natural world and widespread death of the web of life (which humans are a part of and dependent upon). Scaling back industrial civilization = widespread human suffering and death. This is the predicament we inhabit.
We are seeing prophecy being fulfilled, and soon the ones ruining will be gone. "To bring to ruin those ruining the earth" and it will not be man's ability to restore the earth. It is not meant for man even to direct his own steps.
Why do we have so much commitment without action? There is very little commitment, just a lot of empty rhetoric. Delay, delay, delay until it's impossible too correct.
now imagine how to make nuclear and fossil fuel ones. WE NEED RESOURCES TO MAKE EVERYTHING. TO MAKE FARM ITSELF, WE NEED RESOURCES. DONT BE DUMB... stuff wont just appear out of thin air. same with solar and wind turbines. we need steel and stuff. but at least we need less of the materials
9 square miles covered with solar panels isn't going to be great either. Sorry eagles, hawks and harriers - go hunt elsewhere. See "Trapper Solar Project" in Routt County Colorado.

We are next to go !
According to many climate scientists, the 1.5 target is now dead and buried already... we are now heading for 2+
I love how eco dommer defeatists always frame it as "humanity" and never capitalism.

Have patience, humans are about to die off with all the animals too.
Possibly, a little COVID can make a big impact.

We are trapped in the Anthropocene with no way out. Have a nice day.
Oh, there's a way out alright. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

WE? no, YOU here and many others are trapped and publicly encourage each other ! to give *everything* up without even tryin to dare to think about what is wrong about the situational reality.
don't! do that
do NOT despair!
start learning about the *CAPITALISM* - encourage others to start daring to even utter the word.

We've had 2c already
Thank you for the data in the report, and the good intentions, unfortunately listening to your solution’s they do not take into account the 2nd and 4th law of thermodynamics, as well as Jevon’s paradox, etc. The solutions are similar to those offered in 1980; outdated.
The solutions are found in Permaculture A Designers' Manual. Unless and until humans design systems for life in all its forms the destruction will continue.
Nice to read your comment concerning the normal hammered out pretend solutions.
Pure horror.

I'd like to know ho this compares to past mass extinctions? Cretaceous? Permian? Jurassic?
We're not quite at the scale of the "big five" mass extinctions but we're certainly getting there. The scariest thing is that we can find a lot of parallels to the end permian mass extinction, the worst extinction event that killed 90% of life on the planet. Widespread volcanic activity put a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere, lava might have burned coal deposits which made things much worse, melting permafrost would have released methane which accelerated global heating.
Eerily similar to what we're facing today, and it happened over thousands of years instead of the rate of rapid heating over few centuries now. If you want to learn more i recommend the books "The Ends of the world" by Peter Brannen and "When life nearly died" by Michael Benton. The youtube video "The deadliest pattern in nature" by Gutsick gibbon also does a good job of summarizing the extinctions and relating it to whats happening now.
Good point
Life will find a way.
@Corrie-fd9ww Oh well, kill me now!!!
Here in my country Sweden most people still live as there is no.environmental destruction. They still elect leaders that will protect their style of life, and that includes young academics in their twenties. In a western democracy like Sweden, there will be impossible to get 50,1 procent of the votes i the national elections to make necessary changes.
That's why you ought to go it alone.

How many category 5 hurricanes will cross Florida between now and the death of the Amazon?
"by 2030 to keep ourselves under 1.5 °C"? We blew by 1.5° well over a year ago. I have to believe you are aware of this. So why lie? Pathetic, no matter your rationalisation.
We are past 1.5 on the way to 2c next year
its just Hopium going around in media
Yeah. Sad. Humans were interesting, too bad it didn't work out.
That was a one year record. They're talking about a longer average. Soon to be though.
I was referencing reality, not their arbitrary protocol that ceased being relevant a while ago given the circumstances.@@phil20_20
I probably won't listen to the whole thing, for the same reason I won't watch Dominion after already going vegan. But, here is my boost for the algorithm.
Stop Animal Agriculture immediately before it is too late. The biomass of livestock is far too much!
The earth has decided it's too late for humanity, look at the birthrate.
Humanity outweighs all the other animals on earth, I'd say there are too many humans...
@@seanhewitt603 Livestock is about twice the biomass of humans and consume copious amounts of energy and food grown globally
@@northerncoloradotransparen1454 holy rusted metal batman, you wish.
@@northerncoloradotransparen1454 could say the same for westerners and their cellulite padded asses.
Commencement to Hobart in May, 1974. Kurt Vonnegut: "Bertrand Russell declared that, in case he met God, he would say to Him, “Sir, you did not give us enough information.” I would add to that, “All the same, Sir, I’m not persuaded that we did the best we could with the information we had. Toward the end there, anyway we had tons of information.”
Industrial civilization requires massive material and energy inputs. A global human population of 8 billion people is only possible with industrial civilization. The economic system that underlies industrial civilization is predicated by continual expansion, and cannot function in a state of contraction. Expanding industrial civilization (growth) = destruction of the natural world and widespread death of the web of life (which humans are a part of and dependent upon). Scaling back industrial civilization = widespread human suffering and death. This is the predicament we inhabit.

Why do we have so much commitment without action? There is very little commitment, just a lot of empty rhetoric. Delay, delay, delay until it's impossible too correct.
funny how its always alarmists who discover these things, not REAL SCIENTISTS !!! 🤔

Mmmm-k
There's no turning anything around.... You've already been told by the ancient Mayan calendar and other things exactly what's about to happen!
To produce one solar panel we should destroy a huge space of wildlife, due to only there are rare metals for panels
now imagine how to make nuclear and fossil fuel ones.
WE NEED RESOURCES TO MAKE EVERYTHING. TO MAKE FARM ITSELF, WE NEED RESOURCES. DONT BE DUMB...
stuff wont just appear out of thin air.
same with solar and wind turbines. we need steel and stuff. but at least we need less of the materials
9 square miles covered with solar panels isn't going to be great either. Sorry eagles, hawks and harriers - go hunt elsewhere. See "Trapper Solar Project" in Routt County Colorado.
