BRITISH FAMILY REACTS! George Carlin | Save The Planet

[@donaldbrunner6250]

George always made you think about serious subjects in a comedic way.

[@Rick-or2kq]

Many comedians say he is the best there every was. You just scratched the surface of his work over 50 years of it.

Not all of us are children. Some have watched this guy for 40 years.

The genuis of George Carlin is of a comedian that doesn't tell jokes but is still funny...

[@pattiharvey1787]

George Carlin died June 22 2008 of congestive heart failure at 71 in Santa Monica CA. He was the GOAT and is sorely missed ❤

[@zippyzipster46]

He was lucky to go that long. He had heart problems a long time. I’m a conservative and I miss him. He landed on both sides. He called out how ridiculous all sides are.

George Carlin is my favorite comedian ever. He takes you for a ride. It can be extreme, but he makes you think while laughing along the way. Cheers guys ❤ Also, please do more George. He is indeed a storyteller. And again, you might not always agree like I don’t, but he has a knack for prodding your own beliefs.

[@gazb87yorkshiresalt48]

His last special would be good for for these three to see but any George Carlin content non the less. 👍

[@morothane1]

@@gazb87yorkshiresalt48 His last special is something else. It’s think it’s definitely a magnum opus for him philosophically. Before was his warning, but the last special was his demand for you to shut up, listen, and get serious now. I personally have a special place in my heart for “Jammin’ in New York”. It’s when he began a focused path on very serious topics. The “gray-haired Carlin era” I’ve called it before 😅

[@justinschwendiman7911]

I've seen George twice during the mid/ late 90's. Loved him both times. Had a friend who was a bit jealous that I saw him live and in person.

George, was absolutely great! I consider him a philosophical comedian, he brings up points of culture and social issues from a different perspective, he basically did this, towards the end of his long career, long before this, he was just a comedian, and extremely funny at that, I remember watching him as a young pre-teen, with my brother, and we would so entertained, it was great!!

[@orion7326]

@@joescott8877 Only the US is capable of nurturing such a huge bunch of flat earthers, anti vaxxers and climate change deniers. Americans are defending him and cheering him on ffs.😂 Anyway, when we talk about climate change and the air we breathe in, the OBVIOUS assumption is that we are talking about it's effect on humans. When we talk about conserving endangered species, we talk about its effects on humans. A decline in carnivore numbers led to a rise in herbivore numbers which resulted in such a big loss of naturally occuring grassland that the Sahara desert got on a faster growing spree enough to send a part of Africa into a never seen before period of drought, because man couldn't cope with it. Accumulation on plastic on soil results in lack of fertility of the said soil and renders it uncultivable. Not to mention the effect of heating on plastic that is just lying around in the sun, the toxins that are release can permanently harm a person's breathing. But yeah, why talk about climate change when we can do the easier thing and laugh with George Carlin while producing 40 pounds of waste that we don't have to worry about disposing at all...

[@carla3410]

I cant believe that the two younger people have not seen George. I bet they have but were to young to remember, maybe this will jog their memory. Shining Time Station....

Billy Connelly will have you rolling on the floor clutching your sides in an effort to maintain bodily integrity as he ad libs from one hilarious situation to another. Mr Carlin weaves satire, humour and an astute perceptive social commentary into his presentations. At Billy's gigs you are likely to be shouting with laughter; at George's ditto, your shouting will probably be of agreement. Thank you, young lady - I had not thought of Mr Carlin's style as being more of a narrative. That was a perceptive comment. Cheers! Col, NZ.

George was more of philosopher than a comedian. He was extremely smart. Most of what he said in any of his bits is the truth, just most people would not listen if told in a serious manner. Put a comedic twist on it, exagerate it a little, and he got people to actually listen and think. I have said this with many of his bits, from what he was seeing at the time, it came even moreso true, nearly perdicting the future. In one way I wish he was here today to tell us about the BS we are in for, in another I am glad he isn't because I know it would scare the shit out of me.

[@bert0522]

George told the truth only he made it funny. Much smarter than any of our elected officials will ever be. Jim

[@Jedicake]

The interesting thing about this routine is I'm actually very progressive and I accept climate change. But what I take away from this act is his main point is that we're lying to ourselves when we act like we're trying to save the planet. It's not for the planet, it's for us. The Earth and every other animal couldn't give less of a shit.

[@mlee6050]

A friend I got says we have nothing to worry about as over a few hundred thousand years or millions the earth will go into another ice age to balance/counter everything and survive

[@xviper2k]

Don't agree. We've already killed off numerous species and will continue to do so. If animals were intelligent enough to give a shit about our negative influences, they definitely would. Likewise, the planet has never had to deal with some of the crap we've thought up relatively recently, such as our advanced omissions & non-degradable plastics. Just because it's survived so far, that doesn't mean it can survive us and our mechinations.

[@04m6gto]

Human induced climate change isn't something to believe in or accept. It's very real. The data doesn't lie. Thermometers don't have a political affiliation. Climate change affects all animals, humans included, although humans are quite adept at adjusting to the environment. But, yes, climate change has no affect on the actual third rock from the Sun.

[@joescott8877]

SO true! The CC hysterics who run around saying we're "Killing the Earth" do themselves no favors. Everyone knows in their gut the Earth is in no danger, therefore we don't need to worry about THAT, so they get less support for their cause than they might if they went around screaming that everyone's AC bill will triple in ten years or something that MIGHT have some basis in reality, lol!

They weren’t struggling for money or anything, her grandpa was a semi driver and owned his own truck. They were renting the house from the church and it was a nice house with a massive backyard.

George said what most of of us think

[@christhornycroft3686]

A lot of people misinterpret this. George isn’t saying that man made climate change isn’t real. He’s saying human beings are selfish and interfering with nature was what caused these problems in the first place. We stole and destroyed the homes of animals whenever it was convenient and now it’s coming back to bite us. If we’d shown respect for those who originally lived on certain land in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this situation. Now we’ve come to find out that climate change will eventually affect US, so we suddenly care. When it was just animals that we didn’t know served an important purpose in the circle of life, we pillaged all we could because it was in our own self interest. Now, people drive hybrids and electric cars as status symbols. So they can say they’re better and more enlightened than everyone else, whether they’re having any real impact or not. Human beings are selfish and self important and until we start caring about living beings other than ourselves, all this save the planet stuff is pointless.

George Carlin was a highly intelligent man with a political conscience who leaned left. This routine is over 30 years old. Science has recently warned that we've entered the 6th great mass extinction event in Earth's history. Vertebra animals are now dying at a rate estimated at 114x faster than the overall background rate. George's comedy was grounded in facts and reality. I believe that if he was alive, his comedy would sear anti-environmentalists and the madmen running the natural world into extinction.

Clouds control the climate, cosmic rays control the clouds, the sun controls cosmic rays. The Co2 levels now are at almost 0.03, if they go lower than 0.02 plant life will start to die off. Global climate change is a scam for control of the population, by forcing populations to use electricity it controls their movement. Not to mention the electrical grids of the world cannot handle the amount that would be required. I believe in respecting the planet and doing our best to care for it, but this will wipe 3rd world countries and people below the poverty line off the map. Stop being suckers and think for yourselves, I refer you to books like Animal Farm or 1984 for reference on how this is all about control and not the "environment."
