"Polar bears and seals wiped out by 2030" is a rather speculative assertion, because polar bears have survived the springs and summers around Churchill, Manitoba ( way south of the Arctic Circle) for decades.

[@777rogerf]

If good scientific studies agree that there is.a substantial.decline in the number of polar bears at a rate the shows they will be eliminated in the foreseeable future, your remark that there are still some left at this time does not invalidate those studies.

We can criticize the system, even if we have to take part in it. I don't own a car, but I do take a bus which runs on diesel. I would like to live in a world where that's not necessary.

[@martinfernandez882]

Hello, I really appreciate your perspective and understand ur reasoning. Please I hope I can respectfully explain why I disagree. The thing is that most people in America think climate change is a big issue. But the system really prevents a few people alone not already at the top from doing really politically effective work in a human lifetime (mostly). There are so many places where we simply can not live a modern regular quality life without these fossil fuel products. To prevent change, the Fossil Fuel companies owned by oligarchic mega shareholders do very well coordinated, organized lobbying and propaganda campaigns to people & politicians. And not so that they can live normal lives, but so that they a select few who benefit literally millions of times more than the average Joe from something we all know has serious cons, and can be highly mitigated. Just the oil barons would have to move out of the way.

[@connieolsen2425]

Maybe fracking. Not sure whether that happens before or after the oil is removed, but - as with many procedures involving petroleum - it is controversial.

[@kurthansen4362]

Your video starts with a chapter adverse to the expansion of O&G exploration in the Arctic, you rigging up a dog sled for whale hunting. Soon thereafter the video shows a parade of skidoos of your fellow whale whale hunters ready to go hunting. Well, skidoo hunting would not be possible without the refined oil resources whether extracted in northern AK or from elsewhere. I fully respect and admire the will of Northern Inuit to preserve their traditional way of living - but seem to me, over the last 100 years, that your people have somewhat become more and more adopted to the the conveniences of petroleum products, be it skidoo fuel, home heating or the many petrochemical products made from oil for the skidoo materials, home insulation, hunting tools, etc.

[@kurthansen4362]

Abundant and already discovered and delineated coal resources across the world could easily replace 100% of todays' oil energy consumption. You heat it and condense the vapour into liquid fuels. The byproducts are methane, CO2 and ash. The methane and CO2 can be steam treated with catalyst to produce methane gas. The technology has been tested and been around for at least five decades.

[@leeholmes9962]

Coal is dity energy that's one of the biggest contributors to global warming !!!

[@kurthansen4362]

Commentator, whoever US state VIP, only mentioned Norway as a democratic nation supply the US with oil after the 1970s. Actually Canada was the major oil and gas supplier to the US, and definitely a democratic nation and political friend of the US since 1864.

[@Crashed131963]

Canada supplies 40% of US oil imports. No other country comes close. *Oil Import by country* Canada - 4,783,000 Mexico - 645,000 Saudi Arabia - 550,000 Russia - 405,000 Colombia - 228,000 Iraq - 223,000 Ecuador - 219,000 United Kingdom - 126,000 Nigeria - 110,000

[@ginnymartin2595]

Kind of hard to see any truth in "protect this environment" when those promoting that are driving around in vehicles that run on gasoline, and live in an area where nearly everything must be imported. Another case of - it's OK to drill elsewhere as long as it is not effecting my lifestyle

[@jbills7292]

Ok let me get this straight .. it was solely the hum of the rig that drove the whales away but not the constant vibration of the snowmobiles tearin across the ice ? And the only thing they could salvage is the stuff that has monetary value ? So oil bad but snuffin whales for reasons largely based around ceremonial tradition and as a fun club get together is ok ? I thought killin whales of any kind was illegal? I mean can I go clip a whale of a snowmobile with my bros for fun and only take the skin and some blubber?? Jus wondering

[@chloehennessey6813]

[@kurthansen4362]

A reasonably objective video, but not objective to the proven scientific points of human evolution and climate change for the last five million year, Earth having experienced numerous devastating ice age and interglacial warming periods every 100,000 years or so. After the last Ice age (about 10,000-14,000 years ago), traditional hunters and gatherers soon wiped out the wooly mammoth herds populations by greedy over-hunting. Came about 10,000 years ago, hunters and gathers gradually converted their traditional life style to emerging crop and animal agriculture. Came 2,000 years ago the Romans and Vikings started exploring the world for more agricultural opportunities, much later followed by the Spanish, British, etc. European explorers that suddenly upset and drastically changed the traditional life styles of the the indigenous first nation people in N. AM. and elsewhere in the world. Came the 1960s, industry pollution and industrial development expansions became a common scape goat of first nations to blame their forced and changed life styles on. Came the 1990s, climate change caused by fossil fuel emissions of greenhouse gas became the overall scape goat to blame by and large by society, whether living in an Arctic First Nation area, the tropics or modern Europe and elsewhere. Politicians discovered a new palatable tax revenue source (a carbon tax) and a had few losses by that platform when standing for elections. The current reality of recent history and million of years of geological science has been that climate change has always been the case from time time causing humans to adapt to it and innovate. Regardless of that evolutionary adaptation, local tribe wars over hunting territory, agricultural lands, etc. have always persisted and are still occurring to this very day, the very insidious nature of adapting humans - sad to conclude but a reality of our nature. Among all of this misery, we have yet to recognize that climate change and global warming have been repetitive occurrences during inter-glacial warming periods for the last five million years and we simply have to adapt to that for maybe another 200-300 years before another cooler inter-glacial period emerge. It's easy to blame recent global warming on industrial greenhouse emissions and quite convenient now for national revenue agencies to receive collect extra tax revenue, while preaching drastic environmental protection measures by legislative measures, most of which has become ineffective over decades. We simply cannot fight mother nature's weather changes, short-term nature disasters or long-term global warming by our current legislative and advanced technology means. I hope (as a retired environmental engineer starting my career in North America in 1974) that world nation politicians and citizens will pretty soon come to realize that our future is to adapt to climate change by our current technological and economic investment means - like our ancient ancestors, transitioning from hunting to agriculture to industrialization. We'll succeed in the long run, but with a changed and different life style that still meets our needs. That's the nature of human evolution and progress, by whichever metrics that you cherish.

[@kerrymarris4260]

But aren't we speeding up this warming and species die off like coral reefs and, countless other species to numerous to count. What about trash in the ocean like plastics.
