I am 71, living in the U.K. My professional background was education and I.T. The main observation I now have, thinking about my life journey, is that government is not our friend. It used to be that governments engaged with voters and policy emerged from those in public service. Government is no longer a public service vocation, but a private profit model. In the U.K an MPs salary in 2024 is a minimum of £84,000. Compare that to the average wage in the U.K, and it's plain to see the massive disconnect. Uncontrolled Capitalism exploits people and all other Earth resources to drive profit for a small number of greedy individuals, who control the levers of power. No turkeys voting for christmas here.

[@someblokecalleddave1]

The wages thing I'm not sure about. I'm a bit younger than you 63 and similarly in FE education. The thing that has struck me recently is the utter ineptitude of the people in charge, I've never wanted to be a manager so have just taught, but have observed the types of people that go for managers jobs. Almost exclusively they're not up to it, they have no background in management and the only difference is - like Johnson and the majority of the current cabinet members is... they are willing to take a risk and stick their heads above the parapet. They don't care if they might get shot down or fail, they're risk takers. They don't care about the consequences - they just move on leaving chaos potentially in their wake. The MP's wages are a conundrum, you might look at from the point of view that more money might attract the right kind of calibre of candidate, but then they'll settle in and do anything and say anything to maintain their job/position. But you're right - the day most people bought into Thatcher's there is no such thing as society and started the sell of our assets, was the day when it started to tip in the favour of the mega-rich. My own feeling is there needs to be a collective agreement that the population needs to decrease and the resources that exist already need to be re-used and recycled, the notion of 'Growth' needs to be re-looked at re-thought. We need to expect to live simpler lives far more in harmony with the planet.

That poor guy is left behind because the rest of us are inundated with the things it takes to make ends meet. I live in Louisiana. This documentary is melodramatic. This kid, with his "chronic anxiety disorder" is simply uneducated. Proper education is the key to a solid underlying foundation of any society.

Money is necessary for a modern society. Exponential growth of the GDP not. Money isnt the core idea of capitalism. The core idea is private corporation with the central goal of making as much profit as possible. And the funny thing is that even regions where capitalism is not that huge, like in the arabic states, making as much profit still has become the most important issue. Even the so called "communist" country China is pure capitalistic for several decades now. Which means exponential GROWTH. To say that its fault of the money that our society is driven by this profit idea is just not quite accurate. Money is necessary that capitalism does work. But its not the cause of our problems.

All the infrastructures that are built on the earths crust, come from below the ground! The crust humans live on is1,802 miles thick. Below the crust is the Earth's mantle, which is the layer of the planet, that lies between the crust and the middle of the planet, called the core which is 10,800 degrees. The mantle is very hot, with temperatures ranging from about 227 C (440 F) at the upper boundary with the crust to about 3,930 C (7,100 degrees F) at the core mantle. The mantle under the ocean is even hotter than previously thought, by about 60 C (110 degrees F) The earth has about 82 mineral which governments rely on for trillions of dollars in trade, a round the planet. Massive tunneling, massive voids where oil, natural gas, coal, gold, silver, iron, and so on the earth produces, which a thinner crust is developing, where heat rises faster to where people live! North Pole's Artic Ice is melting faster because of the amount of oil taking from below. The Earth is a living organism (which is alive) and is made up of water, like our bodies 96% water, 4% dust!

A second major factor mostly ignored when focusing only on air pollution is deforestation. Both factors need our attention for our mutual survival.

Act now, choose wisely if you're in the Western world. Don't vote for people who deny climate change for profit. We still have a short amount of time to adapt and mitigate, helping the others in the process. But we need to act, both individually and as a society.

[@DeathsGarden-oz9gg]

The whole mindset of what can 1 person can do so why fight it is stupid. Like less oil workers less oil. But you simply having that 1 oil pump you have effectively made your personal co2 footprint almost 8x more then a normal household with a family of 5. Also if that 1 house with 5 people have a garden and do it as organically as possible and have it provid lots of food that can reduce there co2 footprint and save lots of money and reducing the amount of food a store will need to provide with also can reduce co2 as less farm land will be needed so less chemicals can be used. Yes 1 family can't do all that but when multiple people from around the world end up doing thus it can end up in the millions doing it wich will make an impact on the system as a whole.

Born on 1970. Living in W Jefferson Parrish not even 10 minutes from Downtown New Orleans 504. My Grandfather took us fishing ALL the time at Fort Jackson Louisiana where the mouth of Mississippi meets the gulf of Mexico. We had floods because the levees couldn't handle the floods. We always had at least 1 to 3ft of water right into our homes from 1970 to 1984. I left New Orleans right after world's fair in late 1984. I been back few times YOU can see the effects of the elements from 70s right into now

Greed rules the world. Corporate and individual greed builds a wall between the wealthy and the poor. It destroys the environment, it destroys relationships and destroys the very soul. Ah the love of money.

Greed is an innate human motivator, from the very mild to the self destructive, it has no off switch. Perhaps it will be the 'failsafe button' that retains the planet's integrity & longevity by bringing about our species disappearance ?

What about over population, that is the greatest contributor that drives up demand.

[@robm6803]

It’s the people in the developed nations that cause almost all of the emissions. „Overpopulation“ is just an excuse to not change anything. If we all lived like the people who are driving „overpopulation“ there would be no problem.

Blasphemous! How can the economy keep growing (more profits) if the pool of consumers were to stabilise or, God forbid, shrink! There was a spark of hope with non-judgemental, indiscriminate COVID doing its thing, but that was "brought under control." Didja know, 1 billion seconds is about 31.7 years. Kinda gives perspective to a number like "8 billion of us".

Greed, yes, but greed that operates within a system that sees the world like a cyclops: through only one eye. Corporations and their officers are rewarded purely on profit, nothing else. The externalities of this profit is not included in the decision making process. Like fines for breaking laws, lobbying (bribing) government officials are merely seen as a cost of business. To change the rules of government seems almost as insurmountable as changing the actions of multi-national corporations.
