Incredible, we need more people fighting for change!
Absolutely...let's do this!
The Iron Man reply was surprisingly good xD
Think about how sad it is that actors have to lead on a global issue instead of people who were elected or even inherited the power to produce meaningful change, do nothing but talk.
I'm more concerned as to why more actors are not speaking about this.
Most of them for sure would have a larger breadth of knowledge than a lay man and thus would be aware of the impact of climate change. But most still don't talk about it. 🤷♂️
Actors arguably equally worthless..... it’s all talk.
The fact that these people literally think this is going to be solved in 10 years shows how little research they have done.
Hint there’s a reason why zero published scientific studies show transitions complete in 10 year timeframes. This is not because scientists and engineers are lazy, it’s because statistically this rate requires production rates that have such a low likelihood of success that it is statistically improbable and therefore infeasible or credible to publish.
@@brian2440 Opening a dialogue on an important or controversial issue is a precursor to progress. The facts that these people are experts in dialogue and have global followings makes them valuable assets when trying to raise awareness for any given cause. The truth is self evident, and value is determined by the collective; not the individual. If the latter were the case capitalism itself wouldn't function. That being said, society itself has decided these people have value.
@@Sivah_Akash All of the major superstars are speaking out in the US. Its a start.
@@brian2440 , true. But we still have kind of a good chance in 50 years to "minimize" drastically the impacts.
I am with you Robert sir. Sir u are real life iron man.sir from today I am not going to use plastic because we have to save the earth and all the living organisms. I am with you Robert sir
Really you got it
Such a soothing voice, he has.
I hope the more exposure this all gets, the more people will come together to start working on this massive issue. And he is right...its not an anxiety young people should stress over as it was not their fault my generation and older left it in such a state of disarray.
I love him more now
Considering over 90% of the people I talk to about climate change think it's a joke..
Watching this video is an optimistic turnaround.
I just wish I had a way to talk to my community realistically about this.
Does anyone have any ideas on that?
Watch Ted X talks, study great orators like RFK, read books and familalize yourself with all the data and intricacies of this issue, then start a dedicated social media account and produce quality content. You can even sell merch and donate proceeds to causes you support once it grows.
You have the ability to reach the world, no generation before ours can claim that. What we do with it directly correlates with how we will be remembered by future generations.
Totally agree...
We are all in this together, and we all must do the most we can, because the more we do the less harm is caused.
Never give up, never surrender. 😏
Never, ever! The fight is on!
I live close to the arctic circle in Norway. Also, as a bonus, my son looks like the grown up version of Gus from Sweet tooth and he speaks English like the young actor. I would LOVE to bring folks to this region and act as a translator and cultural interpreter. The situation at the arctic needs to be shown.
Love this!
This is the time to start feeling alive and start taking action ! Love this ! It’s about inspiration and going out to do more in the world ! Love your message and yes our kids will be at the forefront of even more greater innovation! They came here on this planet much more open and aware and smarter than we did !
And for this reason I love him
We should have listened to Gore. At 50 I became entirely bent on sustainable living. I'm not there by a long shot, but everyday I'm trying. I'm trying to figure out how to get a Japanese style toilet to save tons water. They're so cool. Banana peel bacon is something everyone should try😉 GenX always adapts.
banan peel bacon sound intrestong, ill have to try it sometime. ive heard some vood things about tempeh bacon yoo.
on the toilet thing, one can reduce the size of the flush by puttong a filled wayer bottle inside the tank. saves water over many flushes.
Bidets that can be addwd onyo exixting toilets seems lretty commonly abalablr, on onlone stores and thongs, or so ove heard, also savong water over time whrn compared to yhe processing of paper. noy sure if thise are relevant.
and then of course there are co. posting toilets., no water use, save maube a bidet.
How come Robert Downey Jr. Is talking more about reducing meat consumption than the environmental channel this was posted on. NOW THIS EARTH, /please/ talk about this topic.
Really
So he retired from Avengers work to do Avengers work got to love Rdj
I ❤️ Y 3000
I suggest;1.Karaoke but to participate, you need to share a trick about how to replace plastic.2.Stands to try some salty and sweet vegan food and with the money, you use it for a project about tricks shared.3.I do immitation if you need a singer..I would like to use it to collect money for some important causes.(even i know you are rich enough to pay the real artists)..;p
Nice
😘😘😘

My family went from it didn't exist to it does exist but who cares because we can't do anything about it. Don't be a lazy pessimist. There's no excuse. Our children need us to act now & vote. What you do matters.
how will Tony Stark solve this massive problem without Jarvis and Pepper?
I missed that ? Lol I guess your quick
Imagine if the whole world acted like Matt and Pat Block people. How would that be? Of course it's not matt and Pat, the Bocks, anymore. Some people have separate rules.
edison got a club tesla showed up and elevated the world its 2021 and our best utilty is a prehistoric library
🧐🧐 Interesting. How about water quality and radiation? e have products that can clean phosogypsum stacks in Florida, radiation issues in old Manhattan Project Nuclear sites. These products are already in use on a small scale. We have cleaned Plutonium, Uranium, and etc. Would love to take it bigger. You guys interested? I'll see your reply.
People have short attention spans so it sounds great.
I feel sad for the rhinos issue he brought up, both of those females are too old to reproduce children safely now, so creating male mates for them would be redundant. It's really more a cloning science technology thing vs time limits of resources at this point. 👀
They have retrieved eggs from both females and they were sent to France with sperm from the last male rhino to make viable embryos but utilizing another rhino as surrogate as not as easy as hoped. Ultimately they are functionally extinct due to lack of genetic diversity even if the lab could make it all work.
China had to stop driving cars so the air can clear up enough to have the Olympic Games!!!! People with Olympic medals Always say they have a rainbow diet. Aquaponics Equals fish on your Salad. From seed to fork Measured in footsteps😇🤗🤩😎
Hydrogen is a weird energy source.
Weird but very very efficient if we use solar to make hydrogen from water
@@HarshRaj-xd6ix Electrolysis is an incredibly energy intensive process.
@@HarshRaj-xd6ix I believe hydrogen is used more than the public realizes. But that seems like a solution. Even windmills.
@@ohms497 How about people just stop using energy? Stay local ,walk or ride your bike,garden, live in mud huts or tiny homes.
Please, type in Greta Thunberg connects climate, ecological, and health crisis....
Aaaah. Professional liars telling the sheeps how to live😉 Ignore the Nobel laureates, the high school dropout is whining at the UN about her feelings.
Just the CGI in the last Avengermovie was 10 times my yearly footprint.
Feeling sorry for you. You've got some deep anger and ignorance issues.
@@dasupertramp5855
Just the kind of response expected from a sheep without an argument. Tell me where I’m wrong if you’re capable of that.
Can someone point out the definitive scientific evidence that proves we are in a climate crisis because I can't find any?
It is not necessary what you ask, man. It all around us. But no doubt you need a treatment.
@@dabreu That's the problem, people are not questioning what they are being told, just blindly accepting the junk science and the assertions of "celebrities". I'll pass on the treatment, thank you.
@@mpaul4584 Anything and everything from melting ice caps, change in weather patterns, increasing natural disasters like floods, cyclones droughts are all evidence of climate change. Idk what more you want. And scientists first discovered climate crisis, as early as in the 1890s btw, not celebrities. Celebrities only use their voice to amplify this information.
@@amuj1997 The ice caps are currently showing nothing unusual, floods, cyclones, droughts are no worse now than in the past, weather patterns are always changing as does the climate, it always has. The climate "crisis" is based on computer models constructed using cherry picked and modified data. In time it will come to be seen as the biggest scam ever pulled on the human race, in the meantime, get ready to part with serious money to pay for the "solution". Celebrities only use their voices to virtue signal.
@@mpaul4584 Not cherry picked. And computer is not a sentiment dude who makes models. Computers are programmed to process data using algorithms created by humans. Climate crisis studies started with studies about rise in temperature of earth. And data about this came from all around the world. Many studies by different groups of scientists, from many different countries have all separately concluded that global warming is real and is the primary cause of climate change, and whatever disasters occur as a result of it. There's evidence of it, papers published etc. You can go read them, and see what datasets they have used and what conclusion they reached based on it. Anyway 99% of scientific community agrees that climate crisis is a real thing so idk what you're gonna do about it. Not sure how much understanding of science and the scientific method you have but if you don't have any then it'll do you good to listen to actual experts.
hes getting so old😭
Ikr
I think you be surprised what you can do for Julian
I loved his 1987 cult classic Less Than Zero
