Climate Change and Human Behavior: Why Change Feels Impossible | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@singingway]

I think the comments on this thread show the answer to the question. There are entirely too many people who are ignorant of the science of climate change. When they don't grasp the science they defend their ignorance.

[@shamirkeren3954]

its not the scince not grasp,its the terror from helplesness.people look at the social structures they live in,and see all the people that have power over them,gives a fuck about them.helplesness is dealt with denial. metacrisis roots are spiritual.beliving in a nihilist violent human,gives birth to that.

[@grindupBaker]

@@shamirkeren3954 Well that's clearly incorrect. It's a combination of maintaining-wealth (lying, dishonesty, hoodwinking being the traditional method for that) and ALSO woeful pig ignorance of mathematics & science because the range of human brain capabilties is very large. So singingway is as correct as you are, more or less.

[@georgelinker2408]

Speak for you own knoledge which is nothing more than belief in scientists and science. You accept claims of evidence and rarely do any fact checking or you would not claim others are ignorant. Science is in fact your religion.

[@justinciallella4724]

I was born in 1978, and my education made me aware that we had problems in the world, so when I was old enough to make my own decisions, I became a vegetarian, I grow my own organic food now, and I own a native plant nursery. The science has been clear since I was a child, and yet here we are with a climate changed denying president of the most powerful nation on earth.

[@grindupBaker]

Oh OK but you're just a big showoff though. (The Trump Thing was so predictable)

[@georgelinker2408]

There is no climate change that requres anyone to act. It is nothing but the religion of science demanding to have their voice above all others claiming they are the experts and the only ones who know. One must do what they believe is right and allow other people to believe what they chose to believe. They have no right to push their beliefs on others using government and laws. You canno even accept someone who does not believe in climate change proving that you have became intolerant of other opinions.

I agree with everything you say because it's what I already believed 😌 Jk. Be critical (not a contrarian) of everything, except when there's overwhelming evidence. And even then, consider every possible point of view. Thank you, very well made.

You can "ask" people to consume less of certain foods and products, and hope that this will work. Or you can heavily tax the foods and products that urgently need to be less consumed, like cow meat. Which way do you think is more effectlive?

[@garysarela4431]

I'd support something like 'carbon fee and dividend' which puts a carbon tax on the sale of fossil fuels, and distributes the revenue over the entire population as a regular payment, or tax cut.

[@jonovens7974]

Then you've fallen for the deception....your already paying massive amounts of tax to subsidies the fossil fuel industries.....and you want to pay even more.

[@alanj9978]

The only time a carbon tax works is if it's high enough that poor people literally can't pay it. If you just give them the money back they'll go buy gas with it. They already can't afford electric cars or heat pumps or solar panels. Your only choices are to buy the cleaner stuff for them (and hopefully maintain it for them forever too, because they also can't afford that) or force them to go without energy entirely. And good luck getting them to vote for that.

[@garysarela4431]

@@jonovens7974 Alaska residents get a regular dividend funded by oil and mining revenues. Carbon Fee and Dividend is similar but would be for the whole country. It helps families, the economy and it's a market solution. I also agree that subsidies to fossil fuels should stop.

[@anthonymorris5084]

@@garysarela4431 Canada has a carbon tax and it's a failure. When you raise the price of energy you raise the price of everything. Energy is the fundamental cost of all goods and services. There's also a bureaucratic nightmare, collecting the money and then handing it back out. The same amount doesn't come out because you have to pay for the bureaucratic process. This also just makes people more dependent on government which is what governments love. Fossil fuel subsidies are not synonymous with green subsidies. Green products get subsidized and mandated because they wouldn't survive the free market. Fossil fuel subsidies come in the way of interest free loans and grants. Governments receive royalties from all extraction industries so the subsidies are investments. Governments use these royalty payments for social programs. They benefit society. Green subsidies just tax hard working people.

[@jonovens7974]

@@garysarela4431 So getting paid off. Because that's what they are doing. "OK, pay us a bribe and we'll keep quiet while you keep destroying the planet" Ah yes, good for the economy. Which economy is that exactly ? Would it happen to be your local and countries economy ? And said economy, would that be the one that is unfettered capitalism for the masses and subsidised socialism for the few....cause that the economy that's got us into this mess. Mind you it's just a rebranding of the same economy we've had for 1000's of years. 90% do the work and get 10% of the result. 10% do nothing and get 90% of the result. Always been the same....and like many, many things follows the 10% rule.

[@daddydancer1555]

Im with the kids who see their family buying into things that are destroying our world. we mindlessly buy buy buy things without a thought besides our immediate "gratification". Too often those items bought are not our choices at all but the products of all kinds of industries that decide for us and we are made to feel some kind of individual satisfaction in our "personal" choice. Too many of the things we buy we dont need. But we are caught up in the ritual for our "standard of living". Something we should all stop and consider. What is this "standard of living"? where did this concept come from? Too often a lot of what we hear is made to coerce behavior. Culture by its nature is about manipulation. I have lived my life looking closely at my own behavior and how is it ive come to believe in what it is i do. It was shocking to realise how much of what it is i thought i believed was not of my own choosing but that of culture family and education. To undo that requires a great effort. I believe that if we gave more valued emotional intelligence and taught that from birth we might have a greater capacity to thinking more broadly and we would have had profoundly different world.

[@MarkAsh-tv2ox]

So funny, the guy who talks about boiling the frog. He says "we humans have no place to jump to" when it gets too hot. Well, what I see is north Europeans (eg. from UK) migrating to the much warmer southern Europe (eg. Spain) to retire!. We see no humans living at the poles (except a few Inuit), no-one in Antarctic without modern technology and buildings, but the population around the equator is increasing! NIgeria is near the equator. It's population has ballooned to 230 million and increasing! The migrations from North Africa to Europe and from Mexico to USA are for economic reasons, not climate. Most Africans remain economically and energy poor while rich countries are refusing to lend money to develop fossil fuels and their cheap abudant energy. We are choosing to keep Africans poor in order 'tp proect them from cliamte'! Crazy.

[@jonovens7974]

Your being human centric, only thinking how it directly effects us. Plus renewables are far cheaper than fossil alternatives. Have been for at least 2 decades. The fossil fuels get massive subsidies from your taxes to keep them 'affordable'.

[@anthonymorris5084]

@@jonovens7974 Why wouldn't humans be "human centric"? Life flourishes under warming. The greatest diversity of life on this planet resides in the tropics not Greenland. Renewables will never be cheaper than fossil fuels. They are unreliable and require backup from fossil fuels. You cannot run a modern economy on unreliable energy. Fossil fuel subsidies are not synonymous with green subsidies. Green products get subsidized and mandated because they wouldn't survive the free market.

[@sstarklite2181]

They should do some studies about how much climate change would go up or down if the rich nations would start eliminating all vehicles and houses, roads, and small buildings, by building only 40-50 story Tower cities (each one with all things, as much as possible). And then continue that by getting all nations to build only T&T worldwide. And then see if people will want those changes.

[@BillyTheKidCENTURION]

You could eliminate all vehicles, houses, roads, and building, and CO2 will continue to climb. CO2 does not drive warming, the Earth has warmed little since the "Little Ice Age" and there is no crisis. If there is, then prove it.

[@jonovens7974]

40 years to late for that....40 years to late for anything we do making any difference now, apart from increasing the maximum possible temp. 1.5 wasn't just a nice number, picked out of thin air. It was the absolute maximum before the planet takes over. And it didn't last more than 20 years before it was 'changed' from 1700 to 1850..which took off 0.45 degrees of warming. The Cliff we were heading for....left the edge 10 years ago.....freefall from here.

[@alanj9978]

Rich nations are still flying private jets and burning gas in lawn mowers, jet-skis, and racing cars, let alone essential things like home heating. We're barely even discussing the possibility of restricting what people do.
