Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot make short film on the climate crisis

Environmental activists Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot have helped produce a short film highlighting the need to protect, restore and use nature to tackle the climate crisis. Living ecosystems like forests, mangroves, swamps and seabeds can pull enormous quantities of carbon from the air and store them safely, but natural climate solutions currently receive only 2% of the funding spent on cutting emissions. The film’s director, Tom Mustill of Gripping Films, said: 'We tried to make the film have the tiniest environmental impact possible. We took trains to Sweden to interview Greta, charged our hybrid car at George’s house, used green energy to power the edit and recycled archive footage rather than shooting new.'

Pr1m0N thank you

John Brown you really think having a diploma simply means one is actually educated (however you define that)? I’ve met many degree holders who I regard as either robotic, shallow or simply uninteresting people because they’ve just gone through the motions of formal education, never properly doing stimulating, fulfilling things for themselves because they think the only way to get a job is through formally studying for something they don’t really care about. I salute Gretas passion for raising awareness about climate change and campaigning for real mitigating responses by all members of society. She clearly felt it’s more important than a formal education. Just because she’s not in school now doesn’t necessarily mean she’s not being and cannot be as ‘educated’ as someone who has gone though the system!

[@mars6905]

John Brown Yep true. Well spoken in the lions den of fools. It took all these do gooders a 16 year old messiah to say absolutely nothing but we must panic, stop using fossil fuels while her network of people do just that. Bravo! Hypocrisy and capitalism is starting young of a global scale and all the feeble minded lap it up. You’re all jokers! She’s a puppet to get the commoner to submit while the elite continue to do what we are not allowed to do. Greta is showing mankind how they can’t think for themselves and need another global puppet. She should be talking to the rich as they are the ones that have the entitlement and finances to consume the most yet the common person will give it all up. Talk about weird science!

The main idea is to shift the industry towards cabonless energy..

It’s important that politicians make some move because the private industry is not doing enough

[@90MysteriumFascinans]

Frédéric Gadoury yes, that’s absolutely important. What I was saying was at first a direct quote from the video, and my response that it feels like so many people think in terms of human interference rather than the restoration of the Earth’s natural state. And the point is that the destruction of earth’s forests (past the tipping point when they fully die off and cannot be regrown) may not be reversible. No matter how we innovate technologically, we need to bring BACK the forests which sequester carbon. It’s a key piece of how this planet works and we cannot forget that.

The rebuttal I'd like to see made is: Ok, you kids, if you go to college it will have to be a college within 5 miles of where you live. The computers you use will now have to be shared between 5 other people. Same for all cell phones. All electronic devices that run on batteries will be outlawed. Internet access will be limited to one hour a day. All food you consume will have to be grown within 5 miles of where you live. Same for the clothes you wear. All bicycles, skate boards and any other wheeled vehicle will now be equipped with metal wheels. Electric vehicles must prove that all of their electricity must come from a renewal source. Same for all home appliances. All gas or wood burning stoves, fireplaces, grill, etc are outlawed. No more flowers, grass or any other ornamental plants of any kind. All citizens of the world will be required to live in 800 sq ft, or less, and with at least one other person. No pets. All trash will be inspected by a governmental official before being discarded. No resources will be used to maintain parks, public buildings or public spaces. And that would only be the beginning.

Yes. Monbiot makes me uneasy. He clearly has an agenda, is trying to surf on Greta's popularity and is doing the video's message a disfavour with his patronising tone of voice. Pairing a popular young activist such as Greta with a respected academic such as Attenborough would make more sense in terms of covering ground, and the take-out from it would probably have more depth and solidity than this video's vague catch phrase devoid of any kind of concrete roadmap.

[@nhlm]

This is important. People must stop thinking that climate change is something to believe in or to not do so. Climate change is scientifically evidenced. It does not matter if you do not want to join the people demonstrating. It matters what you do to inform yourself about climate change and what you do to help solving a global problem politicians trying to orchestrate. What should you do? Learn, Watch, Share. Independently from what you believe or not. Be social. Stop being harmful to people who try to make change. Be human.

We already have the solution: nuclear power. We must reduce carbon emissions and it is vital we provide clean energy to masses.

[@craiginzana]

Thankfully new growth in the north has kept pace and outpaced deforestation in the tropics. We’re losing biodiversity rapidly which matters but we ignore these facts and only focus on deforestation neglects the progress North America, Europe, and Asia have made reclaiming agriculture land and nurturing new forest growth to an astonishing degrees. This paints a picture of the world that makes a lot of people just want to give up. I think their hearts are in the right place, but it gives fuel to the opposition’s fire when you leave out things like that. They’ll use that to say you’re deceiving people.

The most important thing is to start building out of stone, brick, or concrete more like Europe did. If a building lasts 200 years, there is going to be a lot less industry needed in destroying and rebuilding continually like they in America and many other places in the world.

[@masterblaster6434]

Those that cut down forests should be obliged to replant at double the rate with the same variety of trees that they take.

[@eugeniebreida1583]

And that would be entirely insufficient. The cutting down of forests must end!

[@IAmebAdger]

That doesn't solve anything. When you cut down forests other stuff is lost like ecosystem and foliage. A tree for a tree is a false equation when you consider these extra things. Can't replant that! Shouldn't have cut it in the first place.

[@IAmebAdger]

@Gaye Keen I don't think we need to go that far. Cutting down on wood products could be beneficial to halting deforestation, but suddenly not using any wood products is like trying to cold turkey your way out of [insert something that is a big part of your life]. It probably won't work out well.
