I suggest you read Simon Sharpe's book FIVE TIMES FASTER. He is a climate diplomat. I don't agree with him about everyone - but he has spent more time at the heart of the CoP system than I have, and his suggestions are compelling.

Thank you for the suggestion I'm always glad to learn about good sources :)​@@RupertReadClimate

We can IF enough of us act. We don't have to do much to really move the needle if enough of us do just ONE thing, it makes a huge difference. The problem is convincing enough of us to do just one thing.

Yes. But see also www.ClimateMajorityProject.com/SAFER , and Adam Greenfield's book LIFEHOUSE.

That's a great start. If you want to increase your disruption, add, or should I say subtract as many produced goods as possible. Of course nothing cuts fossil fuels deeper than abandoning gasoline. This is why we have hybrid vehicles, to keep us consuming gasoline. If we all went for various kinds of electric transportation, it would be a full on crisis for fossil fuels. Personally I'd like it if they were on the receiving end of a crisis for a change.

Me too😊

Thanks for reminding me of my dad who’s most quoted saying was “Bugger you Jack ,I’m ok” when he was discussing all that was wrong with the world. Your comment is spot on by the way.

​​@@timveromusic875 It's simply been my experience of people in general, including my ex father in particular too. I cant think of any other way to summarise it all. In my little verse, I take the title, "I'm Alright Jack" from the 50's social commentary film of the same name starring Peter Sellers and Terry Thomas et al., Whatever, it's depressing representation of billions of ordinary people and wealthy alike. Until that complacency can be overcome, we are doomed.

It will be the survivors. Whoever they may be. Don't kid yourself, that could be a prehistoric tribe from the Andaman islands. At this point they know a lot more about surviving without civilization to baby them than all 8 billion of us put together.

You've understood one of the most fundamental obstacles.. but there are many others. There's a whole spectrum of really hard, nah, impossible problems. In combination they ensure that we (the masses, we're not talking about the elites who are getting prepping to survive virtually anything) won't make it.

Really enjoyed working with Franny and Rupert on this....

I always thought "midnight" was nuclear war. We're not 5 minutes after that, thank God.

@@buddyneher9359 In this context "midnight" means the end of this civilization. That's something that can happen very quickly, or very slowly, that's part of what is still to play for. The faster we bring about the end, the more it hurts. So we're about to find out how masochistic we really are. The sadists, like a certain president I won't name, (mostly because he's one of many all the same), would have us end it quick and dirty. The rest of us have to decide if we agree with them or if we want something a little less drastic.

I wrote this song a few years ago before they re-adjusted the clock to 90 seconds, I think it’s about the right timing now😮 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZyro4KGbL99jZosi=zYC5hRGJEth_3etG

I did this in another video and worked it out, private jets are 1.8% of all commercial traffic aviation globally, which is 2.5% of all emissions, letting 1.8% of 2.5 or 0.045% of total emissions be the thing that stops you dropping your own consumption levels then honestly, you saying, blah blah blah, is mainly directed at yourself and anybody who believes the same as you and continues as they did before.

You would be no different than Guy McPherson in your timing in my opinion, a climate scientist got it wrong an no point saying he was right in the end, people said this for the last 100 years, I could say it's going to rain tomorrow and eventually I'd be right. There have always been famines going back thousands of years but how do we know they will last decades this time, this is after all accelerated climate change. Your nihilism of there's no point anymore in even trying, what is your goal in saying this, what is your goal here in chat rooms saying enjoy the last couple of years because the algo seems to put us in the same rooms and I'd like to know, the point is how bad it gets after you die and what we do now matters later on down the track. You have said before you are old, your photo makes people think otherwise, your attitude I can't work out, it's like you are telling people to do the opposite of what is being said to be done, an immediate reduction in consumption, an just go out and spend to your hearts content, why do this if it is against what every scientist in the world is saying? Why shouldn't people go, even if it's one girl outside parliament or one person at COP30 with a "save what we have" in protest telling the truth, isn't this better than having them control the narrative and tell fake success stories?

The entire world lives under their own media bubbles, I think it's wrong to say, choosing, they purposefully are being kept ignorant by their own governments and media
