Lack of algae and use of cellphones while driving.

Just wonderful!!!

The story of the books and the trees brought me to tears. I hope the trees are still there too, I hope Norway is still there, I hope the books are still there and I hope we still know how to read. 😢😢😢

THE CLIMATE-CHANGER GOD-ROCK KNOWS THAT THE EARTH HAS TWO MAJOR SEISMIC SHIFTS AND TWO MAJOR 50 YEAR CYCLES DOES DAVID KNOW THAT ? 1-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH CLOSED UP THE TECTONIC PLATES FOR ABOUT a 25 YEAR PERIOD EVERY 50 YEARS 2-CYCLE HAS THE EARTH OPENS UP AND CLOSES UP TECTONIC PLATES IN A 25 YEAR PERIOD EVERY 50 YEARS DOES DAVID. SUZUKI KNOW THAT ?

I have a pair of Baggies shorts, that I’ve had since I was 26, I’m 55 now and still wear them most of the summer, had adventures in them and love them! Patagonia last as long as you want it to, I’ve got 3 Capilene tops from the 90’s and I wear them most f the winter in the UK. Most of the clothes I buy these days days are Patagonia….i believe in live simple..but buy once, buy the best and hang on to it!

I wish there is more people like Mark world will be great place to live

She is just brilliant. I could listen to her talk for hours.

Wonderful and Wise interview. Thank you **

What an amazing Yvon is❤️

❤

Camille Labchuck I love you and what you do!!! Real animal super hero!!! One of your battle soldiers for life here!!! For the Animals!!!

One has to be very careful when listening to these military experts of a settler colonial society. Canada is a settler colonial project and we can be sure the military can do nothing to control climate change nor the entire range of problems faced by society. Keep sowing panic, while serving capitalism. What a bogus charade.

Remember being appalled at the demise of the tropical birds in the Everglades, Florida. All for women's hats.

Great man 🙌

This amazing woman is so perfectly atuned to reality it’s mesmerizing to watch her speak. Her work and her mind are irreplaceable.

29:43 definition of speculative fiction, this woman is brilliant

I may hate the word “Hope”, it’s just useless in every way, except as a lie, like a temporary ceasefire. “It’s just what we do” is my train of thought, because when we “hope” we become listless, we need to move, to make that happen. What’s the matter with saying “because it needs to be done, and I’m the one to do it”? Takes out all the excuses to shrug it off. Of course some things are out of our sphere, and for them I say, send your love, lots of love, and often.

She is “LITERALLY” haha My Rockstar!

Thank you for your deep thoughts and wise words. I hope many many other people will follow your instructions. Mother Earth bless you!

George Mombiot, when talking about hope, says that we should begin by preaching to the choir. So, when we feel disenfranchised or disempowered by large corporations and lobby groups and deaf bureaucracy, we should just tell our friends and family, our social media contacts, etc. because this builds grass root momentum and movements grow from the bottom up.

“Collective fiction” could also apply to religion. OK, who else, on hearing Margaret’s phrase, “collective fiction” to describe money immediately also thought of religion? And then the next thought on is, well, aren’t these historically the two most socially useful inventions? And haven’t they now both become the most destructive inventions both socially and environmentally?

I have not seen any recent videos

The content is great, but the audio is insufferable.

Over population is at the foundation of almost every single threat facing humanity and nature.

We're not tribal. Human beings are not tribal. That's not what 'nation-states' are. A tribe is like a relatively small unit, where you know everyone in the tribe, or kind of do, and it's sort of an extended family that you can turn to for actual real help in the real world, because a small nuclear family is a terrible institution, and why would you ever limit your day to day existence to such a small group of immediate-family blood relations for a whole host of reasons. And so a numerically larger but still pretty small tribe is just better. Nations or countries are totally dissimilar, and the only thing holding them together is the same language, and some of the particular, familiar cultural quirks, as well as the brute force of law/violence, and mere practical necessity and inertia. But it exists mainly for the dominant group to be able to exploit the masses, by way of slavery or serfdom or high taxes. And is a completely made up invention that is not like a tribe at all. And people are not tribal at all. Other than being social animals, and not loners like cheetahs, who are born into a local society that's typically part of an official country, and being relentlessly indoctrinated, mainly because there would be no instinct to be 'tribal' without all that indoctrination, and so the elite class would not be able to dominate and exploit the poor as easily without that mother of all social constructs. So we are definitely not 'tribal'.....

brilliant 💌💌💌

Hansen refers to the Trump administration, so this interview dates from 2017-2020.

brics still talkin $40 barrels for all members ... how does the math look on that in 2030 :/

Human mass on earth = 36% Domesticated land mammal mass = 60% Wild mammal mass on land = 4% 10,000 years ago there were 1500 pounds of wild mammals per human on this planet… in the year 1800 there were 200 pounds of wild mammal per human on this planet… Today there is 5 pounds of wild mammal per human on this planet… This is largely due to human overpopulation… This is ecocide. The number one thing that any one person can do to address the worldwide meta-crisis, is to support a voluntary reduction of the human population. We need a 25% ecological footprint tax for the richest 1% of the world to hire the appropriate medical staff, and set up mobile units that could go to communities around the world, paying people to get sterilized. Organizations, such as the nonprofit#WorldVasectomyDayWouldBeIdeal. When considering, renewable energy options to mitigate the suffering caused by our predicament… Don’t believe the bright green lies! There is nothing renewable about so-called “renewable energy“. “Green energy solutions”, are replaceable at best. The mining, and extractive industries. cause significant ecological damage. Energy powers ecological devastation independent of its source. If human beings actually had an endless source of free clean green energy… Which does not exist it would only fuel the acceleration of the destruction of the biosphere. Deforestation, ocean depletion, habitat loss, over exploitation, desertification, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, groundwater depletion, overpopulation, rampant pollution, and the six mass extinction would all continue to accelerate. This is not a supply problem… It’s a demand problem! Fewer humans equals less suffering for all life on earth! We really need to promote government and nonprofit funded vasectomies and tubal ligations. I realize that it is unlikely that governments will pass a tax on the rich to pay for voluntary sterilization, and you may not be able to contribute, or participate in a nonprofit that funds voluntary sterilization. However, you can discuss with others whether it is ethical to bring a child onto a planet in the midst of ecological overshoot. We can talk about the ways that we can mitigate suffering, or people can stay silent, remain ignorant, live in denial, continue to celebrate procreation, and contribute to the suffering. We can either reduce our population by choice… Or we can let nature do it in her unmerciful way… it’s biology 101… A life that is never brought into existence, is a life that will not have to suffer the unequivocal impending collapse.

Thank you DAVID SUZUKI you are an amazingly wise human being!! 🙏

Awesome. I spent the first 40 years going down the standard American plan, college, corporate world, money, etc. I should have just bought a boat at 18. Have the sailboat and the money now, but it's hard to turn away from the gold handcuffs.

Stupid negative comment !

equiterre. suzuki. amnesty international. woke provax liberal bullies.

Thank you for this true true words and the brilliant explanations of sustenibility and resiliiance., local energy. We are Nature, and we are related to Nature....

Love MA. She looks just like my Grandma!

Fascinating man and company. So much to be learned here.

If all of humanity was able to operate the world economy like this man we would be very close to becoming a type 1 civilization without the need for a monetary system and just in full cooperation with each other to get things we need done.

Beaitiful. Thank you.

Bless you Poly; your work and legacy shines brightly.

James Hoggan seems to be a very dark person, and the climate terror industry seems to be the real threat to billions of humanity.

¨ what would an intelligent species do? ¨ develop and implement various strategies. Here is one example of a basic overall strategy. Any undertaking must maintain or improve the quality of the air, water and soil. It also must promote peace and respect for everything.

Well done Yvon, live and die in the saddle I totally respect that as somebody who is starting their own company that is how I feel about it as well and I am looking at your ideals to help mold the type of company I want to create, thank you for your philosophies and leadership paving the way for the future new earth.

😊😊

Extremely important subject, what could be more critical and urgent? I'd like to see a million likes here

Wow, this man is HONEST!!! This is a gem of an interview! It should be taught, aired, required to be taught in all schools in the U.S..

2003

The superior Ronnie Coleman

one should always be careful to declare people heroes, but yvon really is one

I can't respect anyone who talks about protecting environment and then outsources its manufacturing in Asian countries, puts their logo on it, and then prices its products 10x for the bigger profit. How is even possible to have over 100 million dollars in profit of a billion dolar revenue if you are environmentally aware? You should serve if you claim that you love what you do, and not rake in big profits. Many people love what they do and none of them are millioners, let alone billioners.

Lovely interview with a wise, funny and clever writer.
