as an african i'm surprised of how the global north want to make us the world biggest farm and nothing else progressive, on technological and scientific level and they think they are doing us immense favor.

Surprise, Exxon is funding the narrative that suits their business model again.

By all means promote your lifestyle as an example or check back into prison.

humans cant and wont change. if you think so you are as bad as the rest. accept h are rubbish and need to go

So we came to the conclusion that we are parasites on Earth

Simon is much more optimistic than me. When he says things like "We will become a wiser society" I think "LOL, have you met people? Have you observed the way our politicians behave?" I still regularly encounter people who think fossil fuels will never run out and global warming is a myth. I really hope Simon is right, but I moved out of the big city some years ago. The one hope I have on this topic is advances in technology. There are a lot of very smart people working this problem in various ways. But the problem with paradigm shifting technologies is you can't predict when they'll come or what they'll be, and sometimes the ones you expect never arrive. (Where's my flying car?)

just remember that oil and gas drilling and exports have increased under Biden, as the U.S. is now the world's biggest oil and gas driller and biggest oil/gas exporter. This is in human history. I live right next to the Permian Basin, the world's largest and most productive oilfield. It was also Biden and Obama who massively increased fracking in this country

44:44 sabotage of Nord Stream resulted in worse outcomes for the natural environment.

I have given up.

I'm behind the climate movement 110% Athough everything is interconnected.. keep laser focused. Avoid divisive side issues like the plague, we will always lose "normal" voters when we go on one about Example - Palestein, most people like my boomer mum don't even understand that issue and she gets all her news from the telegraph and the BBC. For the press this makes us an easy target to divide and conquer. We are losing public support because of these conflation of problems, I might say there is NO issue greater than climate change and billions might die.. yes Palestine is important but

What. Total nonsense. We need more CO2. There is no climate crisis. What temperature do you think we shoukd return to? pre-infustrial?

To me, disturbing to find this in a short, no context, nothing. And actually, the short rather raised negative feelings against it. I do not feel it is right, to publish just this information, no one can check because there is no context at all.

Put me in prison for 5 years, you will NOT STOP THE RESISTANCE

I'm happy to hear people assemblies mentioned. I first heard about this form Larry Lessig. This is a great anecdote for the crises we are seeing in "democracies".

So, the 5 years stolen from our lives is for our safety? Fascism is scary 😨

In 1982, NASA/Sandia Labs demonstrated the viability of Magma Energy - a practically limitless source of high grade clean energy that could replace fossil fuels worldwide, ten times over, carbon free forevermore. Given such monolithic amounts of clean energy to spend, we could desalinate, irrigate, recycle and capture carbon, and so raise 4bn people out of poverty sustainably. We could develop wastelands rather than burn the forests, we could recycle all waste. So we could continue to grow into the long term future!

XR got it wrong. What's actually wrong with human extinction? Only that will save the planet. Human beings are inately short termist and selfish -and there are now, way, way too many of us. Karen and Darren want a new £7K hot tub on their patio, regular restaurant meals, a brand new car every three years and an annual long-haul holiday - regardless of any negative consequences for others, including their own kin. A majority will never vote for having less, and the New Barons will never accept economic recession. Collapse of our economy, and therefore our life support system, is pre-determined and inevitable. Human greed and cognitive dissonance will assure this. Climate denial is just one weapon in a corrupt system's arsenal. A majority can easily be convinced into voting directly against their own interests, with Brexit and Trump 2.0 as prime examples of this. Enjoy the ride... Oh, and Insulate Britain was an "Astroturfing operation" which conveniently coincided with the Police Crime and Sentencing Bill to make the majority of voters hate climate activists enough to accept a significant erosion of everyone's human rights. Well meaning activist footsoldiers were exploited as "arrestables" to assure the anti-activist headlines which gained public support for the Bill. We have all been had and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

we are on the highway to hell, climatewise and societywise, uk an us ist rapidly turning into a dictatorship

Absurd penalties highlighting the authoritarianism highlighting the fear of governments and corporations feel at the threat to their power. Such penalties also highlight the government has no intention of tackling climate change in any realistic and effective way.

excellent work. Fossil fuel companies are the world's biggest criminals

I assume that this is somewhere in the U.K. Stories of imprisonment and beatings in the U.S., where I am living, are not uncommon but certainly do not get discussed or dealt with because the power structure itself was born out of violence. “War of Independence, genocide of Indians and the buffalo, enforcement of slavery, enforcement of capitalism… It has gone on for so long that most are inured to it and think that we live in a normal community. As the comedian, Chris Rock, once asked, “when was the last time you saw an American Indian family eating at a Red Lobster restaurant?” When it gets to the point where they are arresting “white” people then it gets some anesthetized to say, “Hmmmm. What is wrong with this picture?” Even then, most will find a way to cover over the cognitive dissonance. Julian Assange should have been/be a three alarm fire for so called civilized societies.

Hello Rachel, I would just like to make a point that you said "slashing tyres" in the video which is misleading, what the "tyre extinguishers" do is let the tyres down, not slash them in any way. Many opposing people have said that to me, making out damage is done, to be deliberately mislead. That said I love your channel and what you do very much best wishes Peter.

If temperatures go up to 2, permafrost will unfreeze and temperature will go up regardless of more fossil fuels... and AMOC might stop... and the forest will be gone. So even if fossil fuels are gone by then, that will not stop temperature rise.

I’ve been arrested 9 times for climate protest - both XR and Insulate Britain. I had to do 240hrs of community service as well as pay loads of fines. One tool they used against IB was to place injunctions on the roads and then National Highways took us to court to claim the legal expenses of placing the injunctions- a bill which came to about £3,000 for each of us. We had some help from JSO but ended up having to foot at least half of this bill each - and that was on top of the fines we had to pay for obstruction of a highway and for some of us public nuisance! The continual barrage of legal documents being presented by agents coming to our houses was very intimidating and went on and on. I have had to take a stand back from protest but continue to spread the message through my work as an artist. Thanks for a great interview!

Evidence is now surfacing, from the 1943 era after WWI, documentation from California Air Pollution Agencies on how the fossil fuel companies were warned and aware of how “NOT to increase CO2 levels “which were damaging “civilization” as early as 1954. Currently, the courts are basing evidence on the 1970’s. If Switzerland 🇨🇭 is getting worried about CLIMATE BREAKDOWN, the ELITES are SCARED.

Democracy is a fragile hijackable notion that's never workes technically for long because human nature of the hyper greedy devours equality

first stop the planes spewing toxic poisons including chemicals into the stratosphere to manipulate the weather . get both the glorious effect of less fossil fuel use as well as cleaner air. documentary " The Dimming"

lets just judge him on teeth. Forget the rest....just teeth.

Good grief. What a load of bullocks.

This short is a piece of art, the complete interview is interesting as well. The production value framing this podcast series is outstanding and the genuine, authentic, sustained sincerity is inspiring.

😂Cuba better off then the states

Is he using some sort of filter on his camera? Looks kind of drawn but also filmed.

“Some form of…” Which and how?

Define your terms and the meaning of meaning. Relativism is a useful aspect.

I agree with this message 🙂

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Algorithmic comment for the algorithm gods.

I wish we had time to build the Direct Participatory Democracies, in my estimation ( of a 40 year climate activist) we only have 5 years to lower atmospheric CO2 down to a climate stable min 300ppm. Even then we will witness the extinction of nearly all life, in theory we can stop worst case scenarios of total extinction but to do that would require 2 rapid transitions. 1) move to a plant based food System so we could reforest the 78% of agricultural land that would be freed up. 2 move to Decentralised Carbon Neg (Non Fossilised) Algae Based Economies. 🌻🌎✌🏽

I’m personally appalled at people here thinking slashing tires and holding up traffic doing petty criminal acts. Seriously unintelligent pointless acts. Does nothing to strengthen your causes. Get better understanding of the climate change and perhaps get onto Dane Wigington and look up! I won’t bag this lass as she has had on plenty intelligent types whom hold constructive insights. Bravo for having concerns and love for the planet and its inhabitants but please don’t give this fella much of any credit. Comes across like too much indoctrination of what’s makes matters worse for us all. Lift your game mate you could do more if your redirect your energies toward true love and more positive actions. Discover whom is at the creation of this societal issues we all are facing

Thank you

A growing human population on a shrinking planet creates more and more pressure. Under this pressure humans will generally choose order over democratic characteristics.

What is the most effective way to convert the various types of denier ?

why we need such a long summary in the begining? I lasted till 2:55

climate change is the new trick. new way of colonization. wolf in sheep's clothing... be careful!

in regard to the "what do we do next" question - check out the black socialists in america and what they have to say about building dual power in our communities and organizing toward the general strike on their website

How do we get money out of politics?

Is this what a Bolshevik was, certainly not a the blue-collar working class.

I think we need to be honest with ourselves and the public. Because we have ignored the threat of AGW for at least fifty years, the measures needed are now so drastic and the changes required of peoples lifestyles they have become accustomed to so dramatic i.e banning of car ownership, banning of air travel, banning meat and dairy, banning ownership of cats and dogs, banning fossil fuel home heating (which is considerably cheaper at present than electric), banning of consumerism, rationing of essential items, open borders for climate refugees etc etc people will never vote for it Trump's success is an indicator of this. I hate to tell you but democracy is an inappropriate political system in a time of climate and ecological breakdown. These unpopular but highly necessary measures can only be enforced via some form of totalitarian system e.g fascism or communism .

Some of us have been Communists all our lives. Good luck comrades.

My vision is that the situations upcoming will re-establish the one house one family foundation of society that was and what was done in the place i grew up but globally. Then i think each family will have to pick a speciality and interact with their neighbours to replace the production lines of today with. As a result each household is a technofeudal system. Some will be able to do multiple steps and fewer still be even larger, but there would non of the structure we have now. Thirdly, those groups of people who are non technphilic and or have low fertilty of under 2 will go extinct, while having both will be encouraged. Bcause of the decentralized system, those processes that destroy the environment will just also go extinct with the technofeudal locales that do consider the environment as well. Thus in this world, we no longer have to worry about acedmic peer review which is fed by corrupt interests and standards. Nor we will have to tell the gov. anything we are doing, nor will be able to respond anyway. This would be a boom to biotech, which is my specialty, since real changes could be implimented rather then what is now which is experiment to drug discovery over permenent genetic solutions to problems that the average person can see as well etc.
