- The crabbing industry in California is under siege: from toxic algae, climate change, and, some argue, Big Oil. We spent a day on a fishing boat to find out what’s really threatening commercial crabbing, and what can be done about it.

What do you think Big Oil should be liable for, if their product is a major driver of climate change?
Liable for getting bought out by Ol' Elon
who's to blame ?????? ALL OF US
I think I'd be just as happy to see big oil companies required to use some notable percentage of their profits to invest in and develop clean energy. Most of them purport to be "energy companies" anyway rather than merely oil producers, but when push comes to shove they use their money and influence to downplay their products' contribution to climate change and invest in new ways to tap into previously un- or under-exploited oil deposits (ironically now in the arctic seeing as ice pack has been consistently reduced) - and all because that's what is good for the bottom line, for investors. I get that developing new energy technology is expensive, but we did it at the turn of the last century for oil, and we can do it again for wind, solar, geothermal, etc. if the motivation is right (and sadly economic disincentives are usually the most potent way to encourage individuals and companies to make a change).
no more subsidies for these large corporations. hold them accountable and make them contribute to the societies that make them wealthy

Climate change is impacting other farming/food industries also. More floods wipe out crops in low areas; stronger storms and drought delay or kill crops in others. In my lifetime alone, I’ve seen my hometown nearly give up on small scale (family owned) farming. Corn, wheat, soybeans, milo, tobacco... all gone except the largest farms.
I’m really sad to see these industries and ways of life disappearing due to global warming. 😞

Well my country is being affected heavily right now, from droughts and floods and wild swings of weather phenomena
Lol! CO2 helps crops grow, as do warmer temperatures. Must be some other reason for the rise of large corporate farms. Global warming only exists in feeble minds.

So no mention of the radioactive dump from Fukashima disaster? How does a reactor produce energy? It heats the water up and they generate from the expanding water or steam.
Why has no one even remotely mention this?

Global fisheries are wiped, with fleets of industrial-scale ships, using the latest
location tech, scrambling 24/7/365 to efficiently vacuum the last sub-5% of stocks.
Try to do a "report" on-board some of those. Good luck.
They are nothing.
The fish they catch are egg layers and can repopulate an entire population in under 15 months.
The problem is fish are like migratory birds. You take away a food source and or breeding grounds because some developer wants condos at the water's edge (and can pay to get it) and you can kiss any fish stock goodbye.
@@aureliusva Exactly, another huge problem:
undisturbed nursery habitat. Tiny feeder fish,
phytoplankton, and zooplankton are being
wiped out . . . the basis of the food web. I was referring to the monstrous deep-water, mid-ocean factory ships dragging, destroying deep reef systems: they ain't comin' back.
If there was an extinction level event (meteor, solar flare, asteroid) then we would be gone and the earth would naturally rebound and recover.

This video more than anything else made me realise how monumentally screwed we are with Climate Change. There's probably 100 other threats to our way of life because of it that we don't even know of yet.
Why is the question always "Who's to blame?" rather than "How do we fix?"? Is the blame so we know who should fix it or pay for it?

Back to sails? Or you know, you could use solar, or anything else, you don't -need- diesel, and any diesel engine can run on peanut oil as long as you keep the oil warm. Hydraulics also don't need the oil specifically, even mineral oil can be used

Big oil suppressed cleaner energy from the start of Big Oil. They are to blame.
Did she say that they were “driving out” in a boat 😂😂
I liked her tho! She has the right attitude.
Yea what else would you call it? I'm a lifelong boater and would say that. Maybe cruising out
she lets people talk and does not shove her own opinion down their throats - real journalism
Fossil fuels tied to big oil? You don’t say. Fossil fuels tied to politicians is more like. Corporate sponsored representatives for you and me.
Lobbying should be completely illegal, it undermines the democratic process, limiting the power of the majority of constituents
My grandfather said he used to drive a boat and put his hand net down and catch 2-5 crabs in ten seconds, not the population is decreasing fast and one day there might only be stories of life in that bay. The biggest bay in North America May one day not have an abundance of life. And there were stories of the Chesapeake being as clear as day, now you can’t see more than 2 feet deep
These crabbers/fishers use a huge amount of petroleum in their search for food. It's inefficient and polluting. Maybe the industry should die.
We could transition back to mechanical (cough...muscle...) power.
I mean the Flintstones ran their car off pure leg day.

Amazing report. Great Videography. Really did a great job letting us know about the issue and the impact to the local crabbing families.
Think of the children! Of the buggy whip manufacturers! 👿
There’s no one person or company to blame for climate change. We are all guilty. Whether by misinformation, ignorance or non-alternatives. I just want to know, how do we fix climate change before it’s too late?
It is sort of already too late but, while humans have definitely played a big role in it, our planet is also going through a natural warming cycle. Nuclear fusion would really help us right now but nuclear fission is a reliable, clean technology with virtually no environmental impact and is more than capable of meeting our energy needs. Promoting better farming techniques, building sanctuaries for endangered species in your area and promoting livestock grazing techniques that counter creeping desertification are all wonderful ways that you can personally start making a difference.
i felt bad for those Crabs. i know this has nothing to do with the video but it just feels inhumane the way we treat animals. i think i understand Vegan mentality now, even when i cant go vegan myself
a lion doesn't feel bad when it has to hunt and eat. we are a predatory specie. it's cruel but it is what we do, only difference is animals are smart and respect nature they don't kill because the can, they do it when the need it. humans don't, we are a destrcutive being
but it tastes good
Meat also has a big impact on the environment - especially beef. If you don't want to go vegetarian, you can just choose to eat less meat - reduce your meat portions, incorporate more vegetarian meals into your diet - and switch some of your meals from red meat to things like poultry. That would do a fair amount to reduce your environmental impact and it's really not that much.
@@rakshith7002 that wasn't my point at all, we are a predatory specie, we kill we hunt we plunder rapine to fulfill a basic need it's what we do, same as a lion killing because he needs it. it's ok to eat meat it's not ok to destroy your world. we don't respect our nature as a lion does
@@rakshith7002 no you didn't adress anything. my point was that we exploit our world killing and plundering hence the word "preadatory" im not just saying we kill we also eat w/e we can. because, as you said we are omnivorous. again it's ok to eat meat.
Wait so why did the warm blob of water just stay there? did any scientists do tests on why its just there? specifically there?

What about all the actuall oil leaks? Way more happen the we get to hear about.
Would you plop a dollop of crude oil in you filtered water and gulp it down? Carcinogens and all?
would you eat gmo crops? consume drinks with aspartame or spray all of your food with glycogen? considering over 90% of crops in usa are gmo, aspartame is in every major brand of drink like pepsi or coke and glycogen is everywhere now, rain, rivers, the ground and every citizen. I would say the answer to your original question is yes for most people.
@@SleepySeel >implying GMO crops are inherently harmful and have anything to do with aspertame and excessive sugar
First world problems. Big Oil makes fuel for the fishermen's boats. The dilemma, Who?!!!
I like the fact that he brought up the fact that the boats are diesel. And probably not very efficient diesel.
Is there a clean fuel alternative to boat diesel? I don't know. But it is hard to blame the oil companies for this particular ill. There are other policies that the government can use.
You know, with the right technology, sailing wouldn't be that unforseeable.. Of course it is cost prohibitive, and it is much easier to use what is basically 100 year old technology with inprovements. The technology exists to make sails the size of square miles, which could move even the greatest containerships in the world. All the technology exists, just not the political will (or lobbying) or the capita for it. All of these problems could be solved however in my opinion.. Goikg further in to economics, it probably makes no sense for 100 boats to fish, where one large boat could do the job much more efficiently.
@@rkan2 agree with you on most points. Sail container ships can be a thing. And your point of the efficiency of a larger operation is well taken. But that was literally half the tear jerking point of the clip - the death of the small fisherman.
And look - I am sympathetic. I am not a big fan of massive industry monopolizing entire fields. I just got really irked that they blamed the climate problems we have on the oil companies. The analogy with tobacco is very flawed.
@@vessbakalov4090 Sure, my comment doesn't take in to account the fisherman directly. I am however sufficiently technocratic, that I see other solutions in society that would solve the issue for an unemployed fisherman. Furthermore I think that wasting resources for multiple boats or any resource for that matter is just waster and is in part what creates the problems themselves...
😠 we need environmental legislation I don't want to worry about my seafood
This video is sponsored by Fukushima.
Because nuclear disasters don't impact the environment, and it's cleaner than natural-occurring crude.
Plot twist, oil companies caused the meltdown
Ruben Leal actually nuclear reactors do release a small amount of co2 in the production of the cores
Its definitely impact the environment, its just well contained most of the times, and only ruins that place for a few hundred years(and only for humans) instead of melting the whole planet to a point where it will be impossible to sustain the current population. Nuclear is the best option, i just dont think we have enough nuclear fuel to replace oil.
@@magyararon6918 Fusion is even better. If only we had the technology :(
Sounds to me, like the algae is to blame for the neurotoxin.
B proteins?
Like the BMAA in seafood, from blue green algae
This video needs more views and it should be on the trending
To all those of You targeting BigOil: whatever you charge them, we ALL will have to pay for them, cause they will simply rise fuel/energy prices to make up for.
I never eat shellfish or crustaceans anymore...... It's not worth the risk.
Umm Fukushima
Global warming is mainly caused by industrial farming, if we want to change things we need to use our resources better, use restorative grazing, and clean energy. If large fishing companies wanted to boycott big oil, they could run on solar or algae biofuels. Ingenuity is the key
I love how we blame the oil companies, yet the average person either owns 2 vehicles, or they get the biggest one they can get. Ride a bike to and from work, walk to get your groceries, then you can complain about the Oil Company's. Even then, its your community thats addicted to it that is to blame. Supply = DEMAND.
Do not my friends become addicted to seafood

These complex ecosystems developed over millions of years to be balanced. Humans have destroyed millions of years of evolution in half a century. 😢
Our planet is dying. Make small changes like eating less meat/animal products, conserving water, using less plastic/recycling, and using public transportation more (if you have access).
If everyone did this, it would make a world of difference. 🌍
Our planet is not dying. Earth is merely attempting to kill humans. Nothing more.
Grzegorz Widła - Lol well I suppose earth did just fine before humans, and it would do just fine without us now.
who the heck wants crabs anyway?????
SIMPLE ANSWER HUMANS!
She should have brought a Geiger counter on her trip................
So you drove your car down to the dock and took the diesel powered boat out to investigate why co2 is causing low crab harvests and found it was due to algae bloom and have no solution to the problem. Why did you bother to put together the video?
LOL! Good call! Loving it!
They are complaining about big oil messing with the crabs but their boats run on oil derivates... I just don't get it
They literally discussed it in the video, it's a dilemma for them.
Plays *crab rave*
Big Oil is only supplying to meet the demand. It's only when demand stop, supply will stop.
That means we consumers have to reduce our ever increasing consumption. Only then we can see real changes.
It's not that simple. They knowingly misled the public and influenced politicians to ignore problems that are now coming to fruition. You could say corporate influence shouldn't be so powerful, and I agree, but that doesn't take away from the fact they have had a chance to do the right thing, and chose not to. The right thing being to be honest, invest heavily in renewables asap, and work to switch technology infrastructure asap.
@@cloudofthought
I never said it will be easy. Even in the video, the crabmen(?) admitted they use fossil fuel to run their ship (and not mentioned refrigeration, this is important for deep sea or long sea journey). Without cheap (fossil) energy, they could never go far out at sea and haul back ship full of crabs to make the trip worthwhile and economical. Or eat less crab.
Everything is dependent on energy. Sure is cheap, currency wise. But we are also paying with our survival on this planet.
Of course the best scenario is to find alternative energy to maintain the status quo of our consumption. Failing of which, as what I have said: consume less. But we're too egoistical to admit where is the real source of the problem.
they should’ve just hidden poll results smh
