Peter, I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for posting this. Every life on Earth is precious and we must stop acting like medieval Savages fighting over scraps of Earth and come to recognize that only through our Collective efforts to create and maintain peace, to build a just civilization, and to live in harmony with our planet, will we finally be what we imagine the term civilized means.

I have always held tremendous Respect for and Gratitude to you, Dr. Peter Carter, for the insightful ways you consistently link the twin threats of militarism-nuclear war and the global Climate Emergency. Your concern for all Children and Future Generations is truly a Sacred Trust and advocacy. Thank you!

Peter, for quite a few years I've cycled toward and away from your cries of Emergency! At one point I provided your group a logo for Methane Emergency. This present video coincides with my current focus of despair: the way war and economies intertwine and doom us. I'm reading a comprehensive and engaging book, Americana: A 400 Year History of American Capitalism. It's opening my eyes to the perpetual zero-sum game played by industrialist entrepreneurs and the infinitely complex causes and effects that have brought us to our current predicament. I'm seeing a lot of communication coming from the lefty-libertarian prepper sphere criticising the green energy industry's depletion of resources as an excuse for continuing fossil fuel production. I keep wondering how we can expect the world to care about 'loss and damage' in the global south when it can passively allow genocide to happen.

Thanks so much Dr. Carter, you're one of the few strong voices on this critical subject which is so underemphasized. And it's a way to connect people to climate change in a way -- the threat of war is a real, known, disturbing phenomenon, so connecting it with the climate crisis illustrates that global warming a real threat as well, not a abstract, nebulous and distant concern.

Thanx Peter, I pay attention to all your posts, along with your excellent cohorts. We are truly canaries in the coal mine and the wonder is, if there is any one heeding the call of danger. Mitigate and adapt, reason and logic must go hand in hand. Shake Up XR

Thank you Peter I hope many hear these words and reflect on the Truth and Sincerity of them. This really is not our world or our future to wreck. All the children of every nation need and deserve us to do a much better job of caring for our mother nature.

Ian Gillan of Deep Purple had a minor hit with his band Gillan called 'Mutually Assured Destruction' (1983), which ia a brilliantly evocative piece of music, and still applies in today's World.

The difference from the WWII era is the population, two billionish to eight billionish now.

Yes, we did not learn from WW1 - too many people = war. We did not learn from WW2 - too many people = war. Time we eradicated universal suffrage democracy where women dominate voting, and overpopulation is not allowed to be discussed.

@paulstanway3676 3 ай бұрын

The per capita chicken and cow population has increased by 4 times since then. If your figures are correct, that means a 16x increase of lifestock population since World War 2. When applied to humans, that would be like having 32 billion people, not just 8. Point being, it isn't just a simple human population problem. The system itself makes us more ecologically destructive and less resourceful. 8 billion vegans who rely on renewable energy aren't an environmental problem. 8 billion carnivores who eat 4 times as much meat as they did 75 years ago, who have to burn fossil fuels to sustain themselves are.

@paulstanway3676 Therein lies the flaw of organizing a global economy around the principle of infinite growth. It is infeasible to draw back on production and/or consumption if the system is to continue to sustain itself. So, not only are we left with an international order that can not meet the present moment, but also one that is horrifically incapable of ever even adapting to the realities of what is to come.

@@vsstdtbs3705What? Shut women up and disenfranchise them to reduce the population? Are you unaware of the movement in the global south to educate more women leading to smaller families? Are you unaware that the US right-wing anti-abortion rights movement is intended to maintain the white majority in the population?

Guy McPherson in many ways, tells people how to think in the midst of the Six Extinction. Dr. Peter Carter does the same thing. A few words, consciousness and having children.

@Raze1283 3 ай бұрын

Nice work, Peter. I feel your point at 8:45 could use serious elaboration, however, since if we've had a worldwide war economy since WWII then for almost every living human it's all we've ever known. It's like telling a fish it lives in water...

I can vote every 4 years, but my government will only do the bare minimum regarding green energy. I have to work for a company but I have zero say in how green the company's choices are, or any other choices to be honest. Just like the government they mostly have green marketing, but no action. I don't have a direct say in my government building a new coal plant or the company importing raw materials from China, processing them in Europe and sending finished goods back to China. There is no real democracy for the people to be found there. The only other road is to go out and protest, but it's the hard route which is only used by the most passionate people. These people currently still get written off as lunatics. In the West we are still too comfortable I think. The people do know about climate change but it's still all very much all theory. We're not connected to it in a real sense. The times that we were all farmers and we needed to rely on the weather and climate are long gone.
