It is terrifying to think that the only place in the universe we know that we can live comfortably is in a narrow atmosphere, just 8km deep, around a single planet. Below us is a death zone of heat and pressure, above us is the vast endless death zone of space. Our existence relies entirely upon a tiny bubble of oxygen rich atmosphere clinging to this planet. We are like bugs in a drop of water.

It's fortunate for us that Trump is taking over from the corrupt left (who were led by a senile puppet and could have been followed by a cackling empty vessel).
You got bigger concerns in The US tbh, plastic pollution obviously is a major concern but it's harder to eradicate than sugar overdose for example. The average American eats more sugar than anywhere else in the world and they're multitudes above the daily recommended dosage, this is linked to type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.
Korea seems to have bigger problems than micro plastics right now. A military coup is happening, with martial law just declared. As South Korea is basically a corporate oligarchy, this could be just the start of a global push for the private equity capture of all sovereign states. With such a massive consolidation of power in the hands of a very small number of financial corporations, their ability to buy entire governments appears to be unlimited.
It's not just Trump. Melei intends to hugely expand fracking in Argentina. Australia continues to generate 80% of its electricity from coal. Same with Taiwan and many other countries. Canada and Mexico continue down the fossil fuel route.
our civilisation is moving backwards in its development since 1980s when neoliberalism was adopted as the main socio-economic ideology. Denial of climate change (which is an observed, researched, quantified and calculated phenomenon) is one of signs of decline.

@@FOGSmokebeer They have been say that since the 70s and supply has gone up every year with no 'limit' defined on supply. Only when every last deposit has been define can an end date be define for the supply of fossil fuel. That end date could easily be another 100 years before its defined. At that point there will still likely be around 100 years supply left. The 'urgency' just isnt there.
"The elites of the world gathered in Baku (Azerbaijan) under the banner of the - UN Climate Change Conference (a.k.a. COP29) - which is the main global forum for addressing coordinated strategies for the resolution of climate change. The problem is that the talkfest is really just another cop out. Nothing much was achieved and the mainstream economics fictions were at the centre of this inaction - ‘fiscal space is limited’, ‘debt unsustainable’ and all the rest of the bunk, were rehearsed. And accepting the fiction that most nations can run out of their own currency, then steered the discussions to how private finance can be facilitated by government to stump up financial support for green transitions. And at that point, we know nothing much other than more profit seeking will eventuate." Professor William Mitchell.
What I find interesting, is how climate change mitigation, in all its forms, are actually financed. The % of private sector / Sovereign. It is a huge platform for repetitive macro language, entrenching the neoliberal doctrine for all that are listening.
Global warming - The worlds climate has been changing ever since the dawn of time. Nothing you or anyone else does will change that fact. They have been banging on about 'sea rising' ever since i was born, but it still appears the same. You lot want to shut down everything and go back to the stone age. Solar and wind will not save you.
As I became older I became convinced that a 'certain type of capitalist' (like Mr Trump) will eventually destroy us all. Luckily, I'll be dead by then, but I'm really concerned for my children, their children and beyond them.

@@alex_n8863 While your concerns are valid, I do think there is time to do things to arrest the decline of civil society, and to reduce the rate at which we are causing the climate to change. We are perilously close to creating climate conditions that no technical solutions or investment or behavoural change can reverse. We have to keep the pressure up to make changes to improve matters, on all fronts, but especially on climate change, so that there is some sort of future for our children. We cannot just give up.
As always, very well constructed speech. It’s important for trusted speakers like yourself to speak out about our climate crisis (one of many crises atm). The reason many speakers avoid it is because it’s so contentious and a depressing number of people staunchly deny it in one way or another which likely impacts your viewership. Thanks
The problem is there's no global mechanism for accountability that could be enforced on anyone right now, that isn't tied to politics in some sense. The yet unborn can't sue us for the damage we'd inflict on the planet today, that would make tomorrow worse. Which means no one holding us monetarily accountable, we don't hold our governments accountable for our losses, and they are incentivized to continue the policies that make the overall population happiest, which is less disturbance and paying for the future. Our politicians are incentivized to continue supporting or at least not opposing clearly damaging practices in the private sector. I think it's a problem of how human nature doesn't worry about a problem, unless it's severe and affecting yourself. Until then, no one wants to pay in more effort just to avoid something that would never happen to them personally. The place where I live in, which is in Europe, went from 4-6 months of snow, to barely 4-6 days of snow each winter, in just 2 decades. What would 2 more decades do?
2:35 we already have the technical solution (at least for the most part.) the thing now is more about implementing them. But that does not really work if you assign no value to keeping climate change under controlle.
Unfortunately in the UK, the Tories took the stance in 1992 under Nigel Lawson as the chancellor ,to do no spending on climate change and to 'just see what happens' this still seems to be the order of the day with governments around the world, a lot of talk and very little action in relative spending terms. Net Zero targets for 2030 and beyond are just not going to happen within the timescales to prevent tipping points from happening. We are probably at the point that triage to climate change will become the main business as we pass each milestone, a few degrees warmer each time.
Very much so. The degree of ignorance in the US on anything science-related leaves a person incredulous, and it’s all due to their superstition overriding any desire to learn it. There’s not even a hint of intellectual curiosity.

He hasn’t come to this decision all by himself . He also has a big group of “experts” and their advice is as credible as anyone else’s . I don’t know the truth about this but I am well aware that we live in a sea of lies , many of them corporate driven .
You are right to be sceptical … Climate science is incapable of giving us an honest account because it will penalise anybody who says things aren't as bad as they fear. Imagine if a highly regarded climate body concluded there was no imminent climate danger … Do you think their report would ever see the light of day ? … No chance.
@@timothyrussell4445I have stated quite clearly that I don’t know the truth of this but the belief that climate change is solely driven by human activities appears to me to be at best a stretch. There are so many other (natural) variables involved that to claim humans are to blame just smacks of corruption and control. This concept is one of the main driving forces being used to implement so many of the agendas being carried out in the world at this time . There is also an obscene amount of money changing hands on the back of this which inevitably will ring alarm bells . The climate has been changing forever and it will continue to do just that , forever . I cannot name Trumps experts but I am absolutely sure that he hasn’t come to his conclusions based on a simple guess by Trump himself . He has been advised by his people who are also looking at the available data and have drawn different conclusions . I have watched and listened over the years to scientists on both sides of this and have also taken note at the time as to where said scientists have been receiving their funding and this also ring bells . I am also pretty certain no one wants to further damage our precious planet . I think TDS is a major issue regarding anything “Trump” .
We have known, for more than a century, that putting CO2 into the atmosphere causes climate heating. In that time we have found the perfect technological solution - stop putting excess CO2 into the atmosphere. What is needed now, is for the political will to catch up with 19th century chemistry!
That’s the lie we are suppose to believe. Our atmosphere is at one of the all time lowest carbon concentrations, we have only just escapes extinction. Carbon is sequested in plants, shells the ocean beds. We should be releasing it. The Earth’s atmosphere had been as much as 80% carbon, look again at who is currently benefitting from the ‘green carbon zero’ scenario. This is a planet that depends on freed carbon for all.
Temperatures have risen over the last one hundred years at a speed one thousand times faster than at any time in the last one million years. It is astronomically unlikely that this is a natural variation.
How does CO2 warm by radiation? can you explain the mechanism for this? we know at 20ppm it does. This effect lessens as CO2 increases? Why would this be?
CO2 is global. In the past, the west exported manufacturing to China and lost their sovereignty on human rights, work safety, pollution standard. It's all gonna come back and haunt you

Why else would he be fortifying his Mar-Largo estate in Florida with higher sea walls? 🧱 A lot of his properties, ( golf course etc. ) are on the coast near the beach and ocean. In terms of value they're worthless for the simple fact that one day in the not too distant future they'll be submerged. 🌊🌎
Unlikely. Strengthening coastal defences in Florida and the east coast of the USA is in order to reduce losses incurred during the hurricane season each year. In other words, weather, given that the frequency of hurricanes has been reducing for years (that changes will reverse at some point, of course. The point is that climate modellers cannot tell us by how much, or when).

Yes, if you squash the atmosphere down to the density of water the thickness of CO2 would be only 4mm, and only 1mm thicker than it was. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a profound effect.
Yes, but you need to understand it's doubled in the last 70 years and the climate has heated 10 times faster over that period than at any time in the last 10,000 years. The only people lying are the FF industries and their political lackeys
Does Trump think climate change isnt a thing or is it he does but doesnt care, profits are all that matters and he figures, as the oldest person to assume the presidency, that he's simply not going to be around when things get really bad, after all all Trump thinks about is himself.
For nearly 100 years we had alternative energy sources, but the big multi nationals ,earned so much money ,selling the world fossil fuels , their economy was built on it , governments easily lobbied, payoffs and payments . The fall back plan nuclear , we've seen the price for that as well , we are now still dependent on fossil fuels , but the east as most of them , so yet again ,we are being hit with ridiculous tariffs , it's the 21st century . Every home should have its own free energy ,off the grid ,but it doesn't , you would pay a fraction of the price . The truth is they don't want to give up their stinking money ,in the trillions , because the USA is geared to it , and it's war machine , and you all suffer .
The truth is that we ALL suffer from a global catastrophe. The USA is one of the few nations that could hope to create a concensus on action, but with Trump in power, the USA is doing the exact opposite of what is needed, and we will all suffer as a result. Thanks America!

""We're not going to see anybody in 'drill, baby, drill' mode," Liam Mallon, head of Exxon's upstream division, told the Energy Intelligence Forum conference in London. "A radical change (in production) is unlikely because the vast majority, if not everybody, is focused on the economics of what they're doing," he said. "Maintaining the discipline, driving the quality, driving the information, will naturally limit that growth rate."" Shale oil price is very sensitive to global oil supply too and can be stopped very quickly if prices go down even marginally. Don't see how we could have tried technical solutions where the technology hasn't been ready yet or our knowledge wasn't ready and we will have to as there is no hope of any behaviour change, only the economics of renewables including nuclear will change the global picture. UK emissions are 3%, not that we shouldn't do what we can but they pretty irrelevant.
Have you reviewed Freeman Dyson's views on climate change? I have a hard time dismissing his "no worries" view on climate change. I'm not a conservative.
The country trying to reduce the carbon footprint but at the same time increasing the population who all want to heat a home use energy and drive a car, use transport to work etc. very contradictory.
@@downshift4503 actually no, that is not the problem. The majority of CO2 is still emitted by a minority. blaming those who hardly contribute to the problem is neither fair nor helpful.
@@MusikCassette I didn't blame anybody. I'm simply pointing out one of the major problems.... that human beings desire "more". We'd generally consider American lifestyles as desirable. That desire isn't limited to the American's only. Their lifestyles didn't happen by accident, it happened due to their desires.
Fact: Trump calls climate change a hoax, and he goes on about it. No other way to “ misunderstand” what he said. He says he’s smarter than all the scientists. This video is accurate.
There is geo engineering… not the best answer but given that world temperatures are going to go up limiting the rise would be helpful… Iron fertilisation of oceans is my favourite as it would dramatically increase productivity of many oceans (more food for people, whales etc) and draw down some CO2. Injecting Sulphate to the stratosphere Cloud “whitening” David King is the uk expert on this. Ex-chief scientific advisor to government, others will know him for setting up “alternative sage”. But these methods should be used in addition not as alternative.
If all the worse climate predictions are valid there is still no 'science' of mankind being able to control it - this is wishful thinking at best. The history of politicians and unintended consequences makes it likely that measures implemented because catastrophising wins the argument are likely to make things worse.
It's worth reading 'False Alarm' by Bjorn Lomborg. He starts by assuming all the IPCC's data, models and predictions are correct and then looks at the impact of different approaches to tackling the problem. He concludes that most of the current policies in the developed world are expensive and mostly useless. There are cheaper, better ways of coping with changes to the climate
There is always someone with a simple solution to complex problems.l would prefer to assume the worse and work for solutions because if born has got his explanation wrong we are all knackered.
I too want to see impoverishing and frankly impossible net zero targets scrapped and then adopt a more manageable pragmatic approach agreed by technical experts not politicians who adopt group think. With respect, some people need to be better educated in the subject before offering opinion on what is a complex technical subject. If they are not educated in the technical aspects then should listen to those that are and ensure a diverse range of views, because scientific knowledge is far from binary, it’s founded on ever changing postulations and experimentation that changes as scientific knowledge improves.
Let China and India worry about it, the US has reduced its CO2 emissions and we do not want to cripple our economy. Tired of woke let’s go back to poverty dialog.
US emissions per capita are 50% higher than China and more than 6.5 times those of India but yeah you've done enough! I don't think the every increasing cost of dealing with bigger and more frequent tornados, wild fires & other consequences of climate change are going to do your economy much good either.

I live in the Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Last summer most days were 115°F or over. We had 110°F in September and over 100°F in October. The day I am writing this is Dec 3, 2024, it is 3:45 pm. The high today was 83°F all of these temperatures are more than 10° above normal. Arizona has seen a massive influx in population starting in the 1980s. The influx in population contributed to the heat because they bring more cars, more glass, more asphalt that also contribute to the heat. trump is going to ignore climate change, but those of us living in the Phoenix, Arizona, USA area, must take it very seriously. It is reported that about 200 people move to Phoenix, Arizona every Day! We are running out of water, a former republican governor of our state, Doug Ducey allowed Saudi Arabia unlimited water on their alfalfa fields for 8 years, both his terms. Because of the amount of alfalfa fields the Saudis had and the amount of time they were allowed to waste water, this noticeably impacted the water table in our area. As soon as Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs took office, she stopped the abuse. But it was a classic example of the very wealthy getting what they want at the expense of the average citizens.
Shipping water from arid desert states to the Gulf, in the form of cattle feed, seems like the most bone-headed move. Not only does it mean destroying the US aquifers, but it also means that the Saudi's don't need to spend some of their obscene sovereign wealth fund developing water desalination plants, which would solve their water shortages, without causing droughts in America.
@curmudgeon1933 absolutely true. The whole thing was kept very secret in governor doug ducey's first term. But a reporter figured it out in his second term, but ducey refused to stop the theft of resources. Thankfully a Democrat was elected
What rubbish. Anthropogenic increase of CO2 is very much not a settled issue. The climate is dynamic and constantly changing. The contamination of the the food supply with plastics is of more significant concern.
It was warm enough for the Vikings were farming in Greenland 1000AD for 400 years until the climate changed and it got to cold for them. The world population was less than 1 billion and there were no fossil fuels being used. It was even warmer in the time of the Romans.
If you were to say there us far too much hype and insufficient science about the subject, then I'd agree. There is no doubt that the levels of CO2 affect climate, and we are dumping huge volumes of it, but the models that we have cannot possibly predict given the complexity of it, we can hardly get a decent 15 day weather forecast. So I'd agree that what's not settled is if we carry on as we are, if the outcome is going to be catastrophic, nor do we know if there is a tipping point and if there is where it is exactly. It's obviously going to cost many trillions to mitigate CO2 output, without assurance of a good outcome. The point is this, shall we play chicken?
@@no_triggerwarning9953 I suggest you try getting your information from reliable sources. When you do, you will learn that there was a local small spike in temperature for the time of the Romans, but this was not reflected worldwide. This is all well explained, including other local relatively short term rises in temperature. None of these even begin to compare to the changes under way now cause by our use of fossil fuels for which the evidence is overwhelming.
Perhaps looking over the history of the worlds climate, might prove that there is nothing you or i can do to change that fact. How many ice ages have there been for a start? Save the planet - Utter bollox.
If climate change is real then most of Florida will be under water in the next few years. There is no property market crash and people fleeing to higher ground??
@@johnkhoff UK railways account for 0.7% of total carbon emissions. All the steel and copper needed for electrification results in the release of a lot of carbon dioxide when it is produced.

@johnkhoff It is never worth electrifying lightly used railways. There is a break-even point. Diesels have a higher thermal efficiency and steam is not far behind, and the whole matter is irrelevant because railways are not a major source of CO2 emissions.
Changes and improvements in technology are down to the supply and refinement of materials. Current known sources of copper are expensive to mine and petering out. Mining rare earth elements is a crime against humanity and nature. "Renewables" are impossible, or not cost effective. to recycle.

I would like consider this from the perspective of the film Elysium where the planet has been destroyed by global warming and the super wealthy live aboard a luxury space station whilst the remains of humanity serve the wealthy oligarchy that have an artificial climate maintained for their comfort. Although this type of situation actually exists on this planet especially the Arab states that have vast oil wealth but no environmental wealth. It is possible by volumes of available energy to remove water from sea water and dump salt back into the sea without a thought to the downward trend of the Marine environment. Then every morning spray thousands of gallons upon the desert to grow plants that do not naturally occur there. There may be a condition amongst the wealthy that there will always be somewhere to move to save them selves from discomfort whilst no thoughts for those poor that are unseen every seem to really transform into meaningful action. We simply cannot run away from this problem and we must take responsibility.
@tlangdon12 There really must be a environmental vision as nearer the failure approaches to a level of transparency and sanity that we are accountable toward. There are some really silly things that seem ludicrous for instance a society that is buying ever larger vehicles and manufacturers are supplying larger vehicles regardless of taxation being higher there should be a imperative for reduction of large vehicles when not required. There must be a process for assumption of needs for vehicles of a certain size. If you do not require a large vehicle there would be great wisdom in disincentives to own such and use as a daily runner or school run vehicle. I understand that there are people that wish to drive powerful vehicles. For transparency I have an aquarium that uses power that may be seen as impactful in it's own way so I am not guiltless in the situation. But equally we all must recognise that if something is not done then we may all suffer in the long term. To be honest I am not totally happy that I run the aquarium but I do have a duty of care over those fish because I simply cannot place them back Into the sea. As for Trump there is a strong belief in populations about his ability to create prosperity so to argue against that will be much more difficult than the subtle art of acknowledgement that his policies are very dangerous for all of human kind and the gradual shift for thought of a viable future outcome that will be proactive in producing a future for all people.
Something you Brits need to learn about the United States, the President doesn’t propose, or determine, policy, FOR A REASON. The President can’t even express his own opinion, as being related to the policy of the United States, without the advice and consent of the States as they are assembled in congress as the Union. As English is your first language, you should know the definition of “President”, which means, the person of authority which presides, but that does not include participation in the making of policy, or the proposal of policy, they only ensure that the departments they preside over operate as established by the Constitution of the United States, or by law, they have no authority to actually participate in those departments, even to make proposals, in fact if there is a matter that requires the immediate attention of the United States, the President must transmit that information to Congress for their consideration, they are not allowed to consider those matters themselves. The President is not a leader or decision maker in the United States!
The country is changing. Have you been paying attention? Trump wants to be a dictator, everything he is doing right now, before he even gets into office, is evidence of this. His choices for his cabinet and administration, are Yes men, they are trump loyalists. Read independent news, you’ll learn much more than corporate news like faux.

Richard, I watch a lot of your videos and they seem to make a lot of sense. Frankly though with this one I´m flabbergasted that you are prepared to say " the science is setteled". Who says its settled, the scientists who earn their living, paid for by the very people who will make the most money of it? Come on, there are plenty of other scientists and climateologists that completely disagree.
If some body of climate scientists published a paper concluding climate change was actually not a crisis then it would disappear without a trace - like magic.
Fortunately there are less than 1% of career scientists who disagree, and the people making most of the money happen to be employed by the FF industry, which just happens to have most of the money. Funny that.

"The elites of the world gathered in Baku (Azerbaijan) under the banner of the - UN Climate Change Conference (a.k.a. COP29) - which is the main global forum for addressing coordinated strategies for the resolution of climate change. The problem is that the talkfest is really just another cop out. Nothing much was achieved and the mainstream economics fictions were at the centre of this inaction - ‘fiscal space is limited’, ‘debt unsustainable’ and all the rest of the bunk, were rehearsed. And accepting the fiction that most nations can run out of their own currency, then steered the discussions to how private finance can be facilitated by government to stump up financial support for green transitions. And at that point, we know nothing much other than more profit seeking will eventuate."

The problem is there's no global mechanism for accountability that could be enforced on anyone right now, that isn't tied to politics in some sense. The yet unborn can't sue us for the damage we'd inflict on the planet today, that would make tomorrow worse. Which means no one holding us monetarily accountable, we don't hold our governments accountable for our losses, and they are incentivized to continue the policies that make the overall population happiest, which is less disturbance and paying for the future.
Our politicians are incentivized to continue supporting or at least not opposing clearly damaging practices in the private sector. I think it's a problem of how human nature doesn't worry about a problem, unless it's severe and affecting yourself. Until then, no one wants to pay in more effort just to avoid something that would never happen to them personally.

With respect, some people need to be better educated in the subject before offering opinion on what is a complex technical subject.

We are running out of water, a former republican governor of our state, Doug Ducey allowed Saudi Arabia unlimited water on their alfalfa fields for 8 years, both his terms. Because of the amount of alfalfa fields the Saudis had and the amount of time they were allowed to waste water, this noticeably impacted the water table in our area. As soon as Democratic governor, Katie Hobbs took office, she stopped the abuse. But it was a classic example of the very wealthy getting what they want at the expense of the average citizens.
Shipping water from arid desert states to the Gulf, in the form of cattle feed, seems like the most bone-headed move. Not only does it mean destroying the US aquifers, but it also means that the Saudi's don't need to spend some of their obscene sovereign wealth fund developing water desalination plants, which would solve their water shortages, without causing droughts in America.

So I'd agree that what's not settled is if we carry on as we are, if the outcome is going to be catastrophic, nor do we know if there is a tipping point and if there is where it is exactly.
It's obviously going to cost many trillions to mitigate CO2 output, without assurance of a good outcome.
The point is this, shall we play chicken?
@@no_triggerwarning9953 I suggest you try getting your information from reliable sources.
When you do, you will learn that there was a local small spike in temperature for the time of the Romans, but this was not reflected worldwide.
This is all well explained, including other local relatively short term rises in temperature. None of these even begin to compare to the changes under way now cause by our use of fossil fuels for which the evidence is overwhelming.
Complete rubbish
Wow, that was an inciteful contribution, keep going

Perhaps looking over the history of the worlds climate, might prove that there is nothing you or i can do to change that fact. How many ice ages have there been for a start? Save the planet - Utter bollox.
He golfs in florida, of course he doesnt give two cents about climate change
If climate change is real then most of Florida will be under water in the next few years. There is no property market crash and people fleeing to higher ground??
Has he seen how much of Florida will be under water with a 4 degree rise in average global temperatures?
My shoelace broke today … Most people would blame Trump, but I know it was really climate change.
You're making that up. I'm guessing you have velcro tabs on your shoes because you don't know how to tie shoe laces.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Nuclear and renewable for energy, Oil for airlines, fully electrified railway lines, trams, last mile connectivity with smaller EV vehicles or bikes.
@@johnkhoff
UK railways account for 0.7% of total carbon emissions. All the steel and copper needed for electrification results in the release of a lot of carbon dioxide when it is produced.
@@physiocrat7143 Manufacturing of a wind mill also emits carbon. A wind turbine can become net positive, or reach its energy payback period, in as little as six to eight months. And so goes for manufacturing EV vehicles and for copper used in electrification.
@johnkhoff
It is never worth electrifying lightly used railways. There is a break-even point. Diesels have a higher thermal efficiency and steam is not far behind, and the whole matter is irrelevant because railways are not a major source of CO2 emissions.
Changes and improvements in technology are down to the supply and refinement of materials. Current known sources of copper are expensive to mine and petering out. Mining rare earth elements is a crime against humanity and nature. "Renewables" are impossible, or not cost effective. to recycle. In the UK, we really struggle to meet our annual electrical energy needs but would require 4x the existing electrical power supply to meet renewable targets. Its all " magic wand" climate policy.
@@keithharle3217 True! We all are doomed to extinct one day even if it is not for climate crises. We can only prolong our things by best possible methods. In grand scheme of things we are on a tiny island with a small population. And we cant blame the developing world either as we have everything because of burning coal.
wait - he is denying the human component, stick to economy bro.

Richard, I fear by straying away from economics at which you excel to climate change that you risk devaluing your content. Climate change is still quite theoretical and the UK govt. having lost the race in every other sphere clutches at the net zero straw, soon to bend and break.
I would like consider this from the perspective of the film Elysium where the planet has been destroyed by global warming and the super wealthy live aboard a luxury space station whilst the remains of humanity serve the wealthy oligarchy that have an artificial climate maintained for their comfort.
Although this type of situation actually exists on this planet especially the Arab states that have vast oil wealth but no environmental wealth. It is possible by volumes of available energy to remove water from sea water and dump salt back into the sea without a thought to the downward trend of the Marine environment. Then every morning spray thousands of gallons upon the desert to grow plants that do not naturally occur there.
There may be a condition amongst the wealthy that there will always be somewhere to move to save them selves from discomfort whilst no thoughts for those poor that are unseen every seem to really transform into meaningful action.
We simply cannot run away from this problem and we must take responsibility.
Trump's stupidity means that he cannot conceive of how quickly this climate emergency will affect the rich. He is in denial.
@tlangdon12 There really must be a environmental vision as nearer the failure approaches to a level of transparency and sanity that we are accountable toward.
There are some really silly things that seem ludicrous for instance a society that is buying ever larger vehicles and manufacturers are supplying larger vehicles regardless of taxation being higher there should be a imperative for reduction of large vehicles when not required. There must be a process for assumption of needs for vehicles of a certain size. If you do not require a large vehicle there would be great wisdom in disincentives to own such and use as a daily runner or school run vehicle.
I understand that there are people that wish to drive powerful vehicles. For transparency I have an aquarium that uses power that may be seen as impactful in it's own way so I am not guiltless in the situation. But equally we all must recognise that if something is not done then we may all suffer in the long term. To be honest I am not totally happy that I run the aquarium but I do have a duty of care over those fish because I simply cannot place them back Into the sea.
As for Trump there is a strong belief in populations about his ability to create prosperity so to argue against that will be much more difficult than the subtle art of acknowledgement that his policies are very dangerous for all of human kind and the gradual shift for thought of a viable future outcome that will be proactive in producing a future for all people.
Something you Brits need to learn about the United States, the President doesn’t propose, or determine, policy, FOR A REASON. The President can’t even express his own opinion, as being related to the policy of the United States, without the advice and consent of the States as they are assembled in congress as the Union.
As English is your first language, you should know the definition of “President”, which means, the person of authority which presides, but that does not include participation in the making of policy, or the proposal of policy, they only ensure that the departments they preside over operate as established by the Constitution of the United States, or by law, they have no authority to actually participate in those departments, even to make proposals, in fact if there is a matter that requires the immediate attention of the United States, the President must transmit that information to Congress for their consideration, they are not allowed to consider those matters themselves.
The President is not a leader or decision maker in the United States!
The country is changing. Have you been paying attention? Trump wants to be a dictator, everything he is doing right now, before he even gets into office, is evidence of this. His choices for his cabinet and administration, are Yes men, they are trump loyalists. Read independent news, you’ll learn much more than corporate news like faux.
*I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls! I lost so much money on stook market but now making around $18k to $21k every week trading different stocks and cryptos*
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them. People prefer to spend money on liabilities, Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable
You are so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few small luxuries relatives to one's total assets ratio.
Waking up every 14th of each month to $21,000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude to Josh Olfert🙌
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦♀️of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
No, we are not, and no, it hasn't 😅😂
Richard, I watch a lot of your videos and they seem to make a lot of sense. Frankly though with this one I´m flabbergasted that you are prepared to say " the science is setteled". Who says its settled, the scientists who earn their living, paid for by the very people who will make the most money of it? Come on, there are plenty of other scientists and climateologists that completely disagree.
If some body of climate scientists published a paper concluding climate change was actually not a crisis then it would disappear without a trace - like magic.
Fortunately there are less than 1% of career scientists who disagree, and the people making most of the money happen to be employed by the FF industry, which just happens to have most of the money. Funny that.
Science is never settled.
You have an anti-gravity device you wish to demonstrate?
What the fuck are you whittering on about?
