He’s still valid in 2025, especially in Trump’s era

؟George U r one of the best children of mother earth

Comedy genius but obviously not very knowledgeable in science lol

As much as I think he's brilliant, this one time he fucked up. As an environmental activist myself, believe me, I've got nothing to gain from doing what I do. I do it because I know someone has to act to repair the bad we did. It's not about saving the planet, it's just putting things back on their natural course and removing humans' print from as many natural environments as we could. It's not arrogance, it's apologizing to nature.

That "big electron" part... Pure goosebump.

The first part was good. When he added his philosophy, it SUCKED.

Genius. The GOAT!

I do agree, but I don’t agree with Monsanto glyphosate and gmo crops.

I love George, but he is 100% wrong with this topic.

I've long said that it's extremely arrogant of us to think we can have a significant impact on this planet. Only about 15% of the land is occupied, water makes up 2/3 of the earth's mass, so 15% of 1/3 is all we occupy.... we aren't that important folks!

Amen!

yeah but full of false propaganda

this aids the planet

Maybe We are "Helping" Earth in Some Way....Maybe Earth and The Universe Created us to Use us and Any Other Living Matter and For Reasons We Will Never Ever Know.

On this particular issue, George Carlin was NOT ahead of his time. He could not be more wrong. Yes, 90% of species have gone extinct, but you are talking about over the course of millions of years. That extinction rate has accelerated tremendously, due to human activities and toxins. You say that we should leave nature alone, and just let them die? Fine, but then you ALSO must leave nature alone by no longer polluting the world with toxins, and no longer destroying habitats. You can't just say that we should leave nature alone when it comes to saving animals, but NOT leave nature alone when it comes to toxins and destroying habitats. It actually is a good idea to protect and save species when humans are the ones responsible for them being threatened. You should only let those species go extinct when human activities have nothing to do with it. When people say "save the planet," you already know that they aren't talking about non-living materials. They are talking about the ecosystem of life, which is all interconnected. Saving the ecosystem is not hard to do. You just stop polluting the ecosystem with toxins, and switch to clean energies, which we have had for a long time now. If we invested the same amount into that as we do into oil rigs and refineries, we could easily shift over to it, and pretty quickly, for about the same cost -- or less. Saving the bees and whales is the same as saving ourselves. It is all interconnected. We breathe the same air and drink the same water. Some of us actually have learned to care for each other, even if much of the planet hasn't, and certain political groups. People will wake up more as we talk about this and recognize how easy it will be to clean up the world.

Very scary brilliant funny man ,its scary true of everything he says love you❤❤❤❤

THE PLANET IS IN DANGER FROM TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right. But only about 10% of the people are F/kd. We could live in harmony with the planet without jeopardising a good comfortable living and environment. The ancient ancestors did without plastic, nylon, chemicals. Hemp can save growth forests, tyres used for building but banning all plastics would wipe 70% of billionaires. A lot of the electric industry but not the clean ones. Same as there’s something natural that beats most pharmaceutical products. New technology, products, resources are always the main ingredients for war. If you cut the need for many things by using great inventions that never went ahead because you couldn’t meter or bill it like hydrogen cars instead of electric. Electric rapes the earth of fossil fuels, cobalt, lithium,precious metals etc. water powered vehicles with no pollution and no cost to fill

WHILE THE POWER'S THAT BE APON THE EARTH AND THEIR STRATEGIC CORPORATE INTERESTS CONTINUE TO SHOVE THEIR GREEN NEW DEAL DOWN OUR THROATS WHILE CONTINUING TO PROMOTE ENDLESS WAR'S AROUND THE WORLD *** HUMANITY SHOULD BE QUESTIONING EXACTLY WHICH HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE WOULD YOU PLACE YOUR BET ON TO BE THE QUICKEST TO BE THE DEATH OF US ALL *** CLIMATE CHANGE *** OR POLITICAL CORRUPTION ALONG WITH THEIR GREEDY EVIL STRATEGIC CORPORATE INTERESTS *** HUMANITY SHOULD ALSO BE QUESTIONING IF ALL THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES AROUND THE WORLD HAVE DEVELOPED AND MANUFACTURED CLIMATE CHANGE FRIENDLY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION ***

There hasn't been nor will there ever be a man like George Carlin. Makes me wanna cry.

Thanks for having this minimizable, is that even a word? Whatever

Damn Right Wing George Carlin

We humans are indeed a fuggin joke

One of the best ever, his wit, knowledge and overall view was incomparable

I miss George 😢

Came here because of the "Doomsday clock" fear mongering

Only I know, he's right. We can't escape death. We are born and die . We invented the word God , and then Jesus, because he is like us ,it will die. The is so big ,we are nothing ,no even a bug. This comidian is very funny and realistic. Thanks

He predicted Covid and the decline of human population. He is the modern day prophet.

Rare case of Carlin talking bullshit. I don't care how the planet regenerates millions of years after humankind is gone. I care about what kind of place my kids are gonna live in.

This is how Billionaires feel about us

❤ GEORGE CARLIN ( JORGE) ❤

I love how people think Carlin would have been cancelled in the modern day. Carlin had a heart and a heart is pretty much the only thing you need to avoid cancellation. The only people who would be trying to take him down would be the dumbass republicans that never understood his jokes in the first place.

on the money, ahead of his time, and here we are

The planet will survive, we are fucked!

Just sounds like an old guy complaining

Is he's still alive today, oh boy!

"If plastic isn’t biodegradable, the Earth will simply develop a new paradigm." When plants first developed lignin, the main component of wood, it wasn’t biodegradable either. The Earth was covered in wood that didn’t decay-until some bacteria evolved to break it down. This is why coal is found mostly at the same geological level everywhere. It formed from fallen trees that remained intact for thousands of years.

If he was alive today nobody would listen to him. He'd still be the outcast he was when he was alive. People only quote Einstein and Confucius for 2 reasons, firstly they found it on the internet and secondly they're both dead.

Natives only people in a nutshell

It truly is amazing to hear what George said years ago and it totally relates to now in 2025!!!!

"The magnetic reversal of the Poles". It's real, folks. I've been studying it since I was about 12 years old (almost 40 years).

About that planet thing - this is actually one of those examples of language bastardization he talked about elsewhere. "save the planet" = "save Homo sapiens". Scientists use to twist their words slightly in their article Titles so they can drawn more attention...

Timeless.....

We need him here in 2025

Who’s here 17 years after posting? Happy 2025! …it gets worse every year…lol

GENIUS My Dad told me back in the day that the establishment will not appreciate George Carlin and he will fade away. He sure did. Today they call that CANCELED. Especially when you tell the TRUTH.

This answer may be in the comments but I couldn’t see it, what year was this New York gig filmed?

God we need him now.
