Spot on about the farmers; here in Minneasota. I talked to a farmer about some of the issues that were occurring in my own garden this year 2019: 1.Japanese beetles had invaded my garden this year. 2. A white fungus grew on the plants and rotted the food and dried up the plants so no other food could grow. A local Minnesota farmer told me he lost 90 percent of his commercial crop this year; due to those same issues. Fresh veggies and fruits are sky high this fall so if anyone is wondering why the price of produce keeps going up; Well, it's kind of self explanatory. Have a nice day and thank you for this video and all of your efforts. As always, Bless up.

We need a whole new economic system One that does not destroy our planet in the name of profit We can create such a system from within the capitalist one and then out compete the corrupt and evil companies We need to help people from where they are, without force or coercion. Give people access to the information they need, that they can trust and we can use together to solve ALL the connected problems The problems are connected and the solutions need to be too So many people (like extinction rebellion) are doing amazing things, we just need to organize the organizers

[@eveastardust3747]

I was shocked by the low views too! Some obvious and free ways to promote videos is to 1) subscribe or do collaborations with a popular vlogger or channel. 2. find out what the people are searching for regarding climate/eco/migration. What are their search terms? out of those, what is ER interested in covering? You will get more plays because you went to where the crowd's interests are. 3) find your scene/community on YT by subscribing to other channels, ask them to subscribe to ER too. This will help ER titles show up in feeds. 4) make great videos. People have no attention spans, got to work with where they're at.

[@EarthPoets]

You really ought to put some timescales on the assembly idea, in line with the sense of urgency. • By which date does the Citizen's Assembly idea need to be publicly agreed to by the Government? • By which date does the assembly need to be commissioned? • By which date does the assembly need to have made it's decisions? • By which date does the Government need to agree to enact the decisions of the assembly? • By which date do assembly arrived solutions need to be put into practice? • By which date do already known solutions need to be put into practice? Without dates, this is just talk which will be ignored by the politicians, as we have seen so far. With dates, you need to have well thought through backup plans. What will you do if each of the dates aren't met? Surely if you believe a Citizen's Assembly is the essential solution then an open, sliding, 'ASAP' isn't a good enough answer. If you want to survive then you need to ramp up the sense of urgency in everyone's eyes.

[@loveislifeislove]

Earth Poets You are correct, there needs to be a much greater sense of jeopardy in political circles. A quality case needs to be made for an assembly by a certain date then the politicians will be seen to be deliberately delaying if they miss it and we can use that as a direct example to show the people that their elected representatives are playing fast and loose with their very existence. It is definitely time we upped the ante.

[@EarthPoets]

@LoveIsLife I think it would also be a good idea for XR to use the expertise they have at their disposal to create an *Extinction Solutions Documentary* . It would show all aspects of the problem in detail and the technologies which currently exist plus the benefits that would come from various levels of application. It would also detail emerging technologies and show the level of investment required to bring them to fruition. It is time to show the way forward and to condemn the politicians for not implementing the easily implementable.

[@loveislifeislove]

Earth Poets Great idea! Let's hope the rebel ears are listening :)

Or are you? Lol. Mine's a pint 😎. Either you think that Roger is genuine and he believes there are viable solutions to the problem or you think he is lying to us for some perceived form of personal gain.

Thanks. With different dynamics we are discussing slightly differently articulated demands in XR South Africa, but the idea of pursuing evidence based democratic solution is a powerful essence.

[@sweettony9359]

I am deeply saddened by these videos. I am a US member of XR and a full supporter so it is not the videos themselves that make me sad. It is the fact that it is not going to be enough. We are locked in at 2.5 C even if all greenhouse gas emissions end today and that is not going to happen. And we are not talking about Gandhi fighting for Indian home rule. We are talking about changing an entire planet's worth of governments, economies, and civilizations. I think full change will happen but it will happen out of necessity after drastic carnage and devastation. We still have many, many communities in my small US state that still dont recycle at all because it is too expensive. This is the type of thing we are up against. You cant fix stupid and people are stupid. Live life to the fullest and apologize to your children. And if you dont yet have kids, dont have kids.

[@occamsrazor5376]

"It is the fact that it is not going to be enough." My mother talks in depth how in the late 1960's and she was 18, they marched against Vietnam, to demand the U.S. clear their waterways, to protect eagles and redwoods, and many more CRITICAL steps. They thought they could change the world. Now, she cries. 50 years later and we are still trying and still dreaming but nothing has changed.

We just have to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst, because chances are that we will not get this fixed. They say the point of no return is in 10 years, but I think we're already past the point of no return. At this point all we can hope for is damage control, but the fact that millions of people are going to die is inevitable. What will lie on our conscience is that most of them will probably be the ones who are the least to blame for the mess that we're in.

[@susanp5393]

We are up against a very strong religion of unlimited expansion and development! As you said, we are trained to adhere to this ideology/religion and live by it every day of our lives all over this planet, so opposing this worldview is extremely difficult. In the past half a century, practically all the people on this planet got converted to this religion. This is why the job we are facing is so difficult. I come from Iran, and the number one issue with our Islamic government is not Islam, but it is the fact that they have been using and destroying all our natural resources, water, forest, soil, etc to the maximum and now the country is at bring of total ecological disaster. Adding to that the Climate change that is very obvious in Iran, one can be sure that there will be no future on this ancient fertile land!

We can out compete corporations that are destroying our planet (with shared trustworthy information and "voting" with our dollars on the better solutions we create together) Come help me create the global cooperative that turns this all around, quickly, peacefully while creating a world of abundance for EVERYONE I only need a handful of people who "get" what this can be and then we can cocreate the platform designed for mass collaboration

Animal Rebellion X Extinction Rebellion!

[@Magda-ko6gj]

Take away corporate rights, sack all the corrupt leaders and politicians as we would anyone doing a bad job and end animal agriculture now. We've known for decades the damage that the human industrialised economy is doing. Henry Ford created a Hemp plastic car, running on environmentally friendly fuel back in the 1941! patented it so no one else could manufacture it, what right did he have?! I believe in us, I believe in the Biomimicry Institute, I believe in the Vegan movement.

[@ginabean9434]

Sack all the corrupted leaders and politicians and you'll end up with no leader and no politician. Most of the time, the power is the corruption, not the people. Ending animal agriculture is the solution to nothing. It's an inducted lure. Industrial human economy brings us confort and habits we could probably not survive without anymore nowadays. Henry Ford died in 47, I doubt he patented a plastic car in the 50s... he was a big supporter of the nazi regime, btw. Veganism is nothing but an emerging tip of the capitalism iceberg. All the vegan alternatives have in common to lock us even more to the industrial business for food supply. Raising animals and growing plants are the ONLY tools we have to produce anything sustainable at all. And that's to the condition we do both. We'll loose most of our means, we can't deprive ourselves from sustainable solutions for ethical reasons, even if it's a beautiful though. Anyone living on this earth with a sustainable footprint (look south to 80% of the poorest) don't have by any mean the luxury to even consider being vegan. The goal here is for us to give up enough wealth asap so they don't die and we all live by their poor standards, happily ever after. Otherwise, we'll all disappear as a species. You can forget Henry's car, the only one we can afFord in the future is called a horse. Get ready for animal exploitation 2.0. But don't worry, we both know it very unlikely to happen because of the "corrupted leaders and politicians" greed anyway, right?

Why do you think our oceans have so many dead zones and so little fish left. It will also create a kinder world. When you say about the poorest, are you talking about the tribes who live with the land? I am talking about the western world. And in the western world it is very cheap to be vegan. Our leaders are ill and should be relieved of their positions. Kindness breeds more kindness and those who have a half filled cup would want to share with those who's cups are empty. I was so sad about our planet but I am filled with hope because I believe we can change.

[@ginabean9434]

@@Magda-ko6gj _"it is to make room for cattle to produce meat"_ No, it's to feed China. Brazil don't export meat, it exports plants. And China has it all (almost). The cattle is set in place, once the soil is already dead. You are told that cattle EMITS a lot of GHG, but have you wonder where does it come from? Where does the GHG from a car come from? Once you got the difference, you see that breeding is an opportunity, not a burden. Ecologically speaking an animal CANNOT pollute. There's no need to put our manufacturing, energy and transportation pollution on breeding. When I say the poorest, I mean that the footprint of the cheapest western vegan on earth requires several planets to be sustainable. If we want a sustainable life on a 10 billions humans planet, we need to live under this standard, big time.

That's been happening for 30 years, with no result. It isn't that XR is against public education - that's why the media is a target of the demand to "Tell the Truth", but that we don't have time. Also if the media around a CA is handled well (like in Ireland), it generates the public education as a byproduct of the process...

An addict has to have hit rock bottom and the consequences of that person's addiction have become so great that they can't go on using or drinking anymore! But before that they walk around for years in absolute denial about what the problem is and how much damage there doing! And I believe "and I don't think anyone reading this will disagree" that the vast majority of people are addicted to fossil fuels and all its byproducts!so im scared that to get people to wake up and change " and an addict needs to completely change everything about themselves complete para dime shift needs to happen for them to stop and change there destructive behaviour!"so I'm scared that the consequences are still not horrific enough for people to give up there addiction to fossil fuels!!!!!

We create a global cooperative ( an economic system based on cooperation instead of competition) We help people solve their own problems ,together (stop leaving it up to our incompetent government) We gather and share the information we need to understand AND solve the complex problems ( climate change, poverty, scarce resources, cancer, etc etc) We can recreate a supply chain that is ethical and efficient We start small and grow quickly as we create solutions that appeal to everyone (cheap, fast and good, AND ethical) when we are large enough we out compete the competitive capitalist system that is destroying our planet We ask individuals "How can we help one you?" How can we help each other We can do all of this rapidly by creating a tech cooperative that is designed to create the tools we need to do it ALL. It is owned by its members and everyone is invited to be a member. It is run democratically and with complete transparency We can create the ACTUAL SOLUTIONS NOW, together.

3:50 - the video goes into the currently "popular" idea - promulgated also by the MSM at the moment - that the political "system is broken" after referencing Hallam's criticism about a 2 party combative system. The problem with this point of view is that it is fundamentally reactionary in other words right wing in its analysis..... It views "politics" as an inherently progressive force which is broken because it's become too combative. In its current form though, politics is a struggle between workers who create profits and the exploiting classes who steal those profits and turn them into vast wealth. So the politics aren't broken at all, they are spot on, there are two opposing forces in society, the ultra-wealthy and everyone else. It's true we need a system that works for the 100%, but it's clear that the 1% will not deliver that, so the 99% need to take control. That is what parliament reflects - Tory exploiters and Labour revolutionaries (although the LP has been infiltrated by Red Tories over the past decades).

We need the best organised coordinated effort we can produce as a species. and the best coordinated organised effort is that of a democratic government. We need the government we elect to start to use their power to create change. We've not been doing that. We also need the choices we make to be based on the best available evidence properly analysed. That is the scientific model. We need to listen to our scientists. We've not been doing that, You say the groups will be randomly selected, not elected, though you then say this random selection will be corrected by self defining sub-groups. These will be moderated by people of non-specific origin, who will be facilitating things; the level of coercive control is made clear by the suggestion that these individuals will be ensuring equal talking time. You then say this is democracy, though that word itself merely means seized by people. It seems the chosen facilitators, within your organisation structure, will be making the decisions which matter, and they will be as open as the current system is (not at all open). As for participation, without coercion, and without efforts to improve the situation of the low paid long hour worker, how can you expect them to have a voice that is able to be heard in the same way as the wealthier people who own their own small holding and can sustain themselves. The answer, is that those who work 60 - 70 hours a week and need to find time for visits to the foodbank, will not be heard, as they are not heard now. We need to regain control over our government, by voting for those who will work towards the type of equality I am sure is fearful to many of the privileged even within the XR movement. That government needs to have the checks and balances to be changed if needed/ What we don;t need is a system of posh people who will decide they are monarchs in their own sphere and control without any form of democratic oversight.

[@RH-ie2tx]

You will have to learn to produce your own vegan diet and lead by example. Most vegans seem to think that changing their shopping habits is a revolutionary act! The imported vegan foods that form part of this diet depend on the global trade systems that are not sustainable. Don’t forget that most organic farmers use animal manure for soil fertility so you will have to avoid organic food if you have principles. Therefore you are supporting industrial/ chemical agriculture which is a disaster for the ecosystem... or maybe you are a townie and don’t know much about agriculture?

[@livthedream91]

RH It seems you’re more interested in “owning” the vegan than considering the valid appeal to an accessible and effective action that is within reach for most people. Even if not perfectly vegan, we can ALL reduce meat consumption which is one of the largest drivers of anthropogenic climate change according to the 𝚄𝙽 and IPCC (latest report,2019, chapter 5; p 79).

[@deelove6899]

I appreciate your dietary choices but we cannot demand all the people be vegans. This isn't about making demands. It is about evolving the consciousness of the peoples and discussing things like what we can do to save our planet and our lives. I'm sure vegans will come and speak, but being vegan is not going to stop people from starvation if we can't grow food. Reducing our emissions to zero will include eliminating beef, or at least reducing it radically. I hereby pardon the cows! Cows lives matter! 💖🌧🌧🌧🌍🌎🌏🐂🐂🐂🌍🌎🌏🌧🌧🌧💖

[@scootythevegman]

No one expects everyone to switch to a completely vegan lifestyle overnight. We just hope that people take the time to learn and make changes when and where they can and eventually get there. So the change from doing things the non-vegan way to vegan will be gradual for the world, and the current systems in place such as government subsidies for the meat and dairy industries to destroy the planet; would eventually be replaced with systems that would benefit all life on earth, and hopefully prevent us from causing our own extinction.

The ability for the oceans to sustain life for what little that manages to evade human predation (around 10% today) also looks rather bleak - at least once this breaker flips. news.mit.edu/2019/carbon-threshold-mass-extinction-0708 Chemical reactions in nature often resemble a breaker switch. An input rises, a threshold is reached and a sudden change in state occurs. Much like the way neural flow across our synapses occurs. In a closed system with known inputs and outputs, no matter the complexity, any input that increases or decreases in a non-linear or exponential fashion can irreversibly change the state of the system when the threshold is met. Consider an apple tree. It could be considered as a closed, finite system consisting of the tree, it’s roots (let’s leave out fungi / micro-biome for the sake of expedience) and the earth in which it lives with a predictable amount of rainfall and temperatures. The tree creates fruit, most fall to the ground about it’s trunk. Some taken off, eaten. Those apples decompose and their nutrients enrich the soil, thus enriching the tree. A simple but balanced movement of energy from one form to another. The system operates in a steady state of flux. Increase or decrease any particular component in this system beyond a certain rate and it will irreversibly change state. The contents will typically die as complexity in the system is reduced. Phase transition is another good way to think about this. The same amount of energy required to melt 1kg of ice at 0 degrees C to produce 1kg of water (phase transition), could be used to raise the temperature of that 1kg of water from 0 degrees C to 79.8 degrees C. Earth existed in a steady state of flux. From ice age to ice age, a cyclical seemingly endless procession. No matter how complex system Earth is, it can still be considered a closed system and all that it comprises is subject to certain universal constants. All of it’s matter exists in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics and entropy for instance. This is all the more significant when you consider the raging, molten core of heat beyond crust and mantle, just beneath our feet. Held in check, despite constant overturning, by the ebb and flow of ice at the poles, cool oceans, moist soil and atmosphere. A healthy balance if you will. This slow procession is conducive to life, understandable given the way natural selection occurs over time. Lose this balance and tip too fast into a changed state and things tend to move rapidly, echo, amplify and runaway chemically speaking. This is not conducive to biological life. A cursory review of our close neighbor should be stark enough warning. It is no coincidence that Venus, a planet once covered by land and oceans of water, tipped its own scales of balance. Now, it’s surface rages at around 450 degrees C with the highest concentration of surface volcanic activity in our solar system. Too far to look, them turn back time to Earth’s own past mass extinction events, of which there have been 5, 4 of which involved rapid warming of the climate. But by today’s standard, these events played out over a vast period of time. The deepest and near total cut into life on Earth - the end Permian event - wiped out around 95% of all life on Earth. It took millions of years to recover complexity in life from that one. Today’s 6th mass - human driven - extinction event is unfolding at several orders of magnitude faster. In effect, no life will keep up with this pace unless humans, in whose hands, the future potential for any continuing life on Earth now rests, take steps. Drastic ones at that. There are many, human induced, inputs in system Earth today that have gone non-linear or exponential. Increasing atmospheric methane levels Increasing atmospheric CO2 levels Increasing atmospheric N2O levels Increasing ocean heat Increasing sea levels Decreasing Cryosphere Increasing global mean temperature rise Decreasing ocean ph levels Decreasing global biodiversity Increasing human population Decreasing permafrost The risk of not paying attention to this and reversing ourselves away from what increasingly look to be ‘closer than once thought’ irreversible changes of state, cannot be understated. The permafrost is thawing at rates 70 years ahead of what not very long ago was considered a safe scientific consensus. Well, actually it’s already thawed, dried and is now on fire. Peat has always been a good source of fuel. 2014 was a pivotal year for understanding the scale and rates of what is now understood to be exponential decay (not linear reductions) in the cryosphere. The GRACE-FO data once available will likely bring more shocking headlines to people’s attention. Some still expect an arctic blue ocean event in September this year. Consider how fast things will move once there is no more phase transition delaying things (not to mention the myriad other self reinforcing feedbacks). Landing safely from this exponential explosion in human life, which entails our consumption of Earth’s other forms of life and resources, as well as our pollution, is now beyond possible. This is now damage limitation, many other species are already functionally extinct, much more life will be lost. But do we really understand, that the rates of change now underway not only signal another mass event - i.e. one leaving some plucky life left, but arguably a near complete event, or sterilization. Vast quantities of moisture are already being lost into the upper atmosphere. Ozone is being depleted again, exposing the planet to more of the damaging radiation. Solar winds start to strip out the remaining atmosphere and its moisture. As soil now dries out, global dieback of green plants is already being recorded, the excess CO2 no longer the boon we once hoped. Record drought and fires rage all around the globe, exacerbated by our own land use. Crucially, in some of the last remaining great carbon sinks - the solutions to our predicament (biodiversity and mass) slip through our fingers like grains of sand. As our crust becomes dry and brittle, it snaps and cracks, no longer constrained under the weight of the cryosphere. Record numbers of earthquakes are now being recorded in sensitive areas such as Alaska, BC and elsewhere. The ground already hollowed out from excess water usage, drilling and fracking literally shakes beneath our feet. The core wants out.
