1:01:36 Tim is right to be skeptical. Wealth redistribution and lifting the poor out of poverty will either make it worse or be a wash. Another painful truth nobody wants to face up to.

It all depends on how deep this minimum gets.

For a critical channel like yours, the lack of Global South voices is kinda astonishing. I thought the new generation got rid of that blind staring on white voices. I scrolled through your videos and, wow, where are the great non-Western thinkers?

This guy isn't even a shill--he's a consultant for energy companies TODAY. Why interview someone *currently making their money on fossil fuels? He says some smart things, but he's spewing climate defeatism on oil--which is the new climate denialism. It's decrepit, but that's what they're selling us now, "well, it's happening, but we can't give up oil, so we have to just deal with it." "Yes I'm an addict, but if I were to quit drinking I would have seizures, so I'm just gonna keep going till my liver gives out you see. It's actually my family's fault, we've been addicts for many generations. I can't stop drinking, because that would get rid of all carbs in my body. Do you know the percent of carbs in my body that come from alcohol? 90% of my blood sugar is converted alcohol. So it would literally shut down my brain to quit drinking, so the problem isn't so simple you see. There might actually be no solution." I'm not sure whether he's just been indoctrinated by working in oil for so long, or just justifying working for oil companies, or which came first--the chicken or the egg. The man made his money as a petroleum geologist. His Forbes profile says, "I am a petroleum geologist with 42 years of oil and gas industry experience." A couple of different points, but he's saying the "correct things," just shifting blame from oil and claiming, with false information as well as faulty reasoning that we "can't" get away from oil without collapsing society. First, he says that "health care is the number one consumer of plastics." This is patently false. See here: www.plasticsoupfoundation.org/en/plastic-facts-and-figures/ the largest consumers of plastics are, in order, packaging, building and construction, automotive, electrical and electronic--health care didn't even make the list. This article here www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7068768/ has health care consuming 2% of global plastic production by value. Further, there is no campaign against creating plastics out of petroleum. There is a campaign to stop *burning* fossil fuels. No one is saying "halt all global plastic production and health care as a whole." It's a scare crow argument on multiple levels, based on a false statement that health care is the "biggest consumer of plastics." There are ENORMOUS amounts of money in oil. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's working for them. As people are having more and more awareness around the global situation, they're still going to want to shift the blame away from them--why? So they can keep exploiting the world and boiling the atmosphere for a few more years. The idea that "there are no simple solutions" is just defeatism. We could end capitalism today with the stroke of pens. The rich could distribute wealth equally, stop oppressing the poor of the world. End world hunger. Stop competing in endless wars and share. Very simple. The problem is the *will* of rich f*ckers like this guy to stop enriching themselves on oil--yes the very adolescents he is talking about. He is a poster child. Unless he's given his money away. You have to look out for shills, or for people who are just making cognitive errors to justify the way they spent their lives. i.e., 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.' Only replace salary with life savings, with personal identity, with seeing oneself as a good person, etc.. He goes on to say "there may not be any solutions." Any solutions to a problem WE are causing? Specifically, a tiny number of us, who are ultra rich? At the very outset he blamed the average consumer for being slaves to fossil fuels. You can go off of fossil fuels, it's true. But you stand little chance of running for public office from your farm without transportation to a city center. Very little chance at having any influence. In fact, many people live today without fossil fuels in poorer areas. They have very little influence. It is people like this guy, who have made their fortunes on fossil fuels, who have influence and actually could change things. I wonder what his net worth is. H*ll--I just continued reading his bio--he's STILL a consultant for major energy companies? Why are you interviewing the opposition? Truly bizarre. I only came for the geopolitics.

They been hurting kids fir yrs , we lost our mom as children, yrs , thats got to against the rules , it hurt us & our family, people's quit life because of it , were almost old now & emotionally speaking, stil hurt , its a terrible thing for children to be met with iffy grown ups ,y He was born , 👣👑

Neil Smith has an excellent framework called “jumping scales” that parallels this discussion of scale

‘ 1:07 ‘Foreign’ is the operative ’word’ here. Corporations are inorganic ENTITIES who have been running the word an organic sentient planet. The jurisdictions are distinctly different in origin. The created can never have legitimate control over the fundamental original creator and source of life. The root of the poisonous tree is the corporate cestui qui trust CONstruct, created by evil corporate ENTITIES …. is the source of the problem.🛑 people must distinguish corporate NATIONS from the original organic indigenous nations.

Why not invite an economist? For a vibrant discussion, hopefully. Dialogue is far more difficult when the world views collide. Would also be interesting to hear someone who is not aligned to accept these very real problems.

One failed agenda in one failed video. next

On believing that we have a fundamental nature of caring and loving - I'm not sure what you think about the science of hormones and bonding, but we know that the systems in our bodies give rise to and regulate the behaviours right? I think this can be the source what do you define as our nature for love and caring - that oxytocin promotes this behaviour in us. And its a great thing that we don't need to reject to believe in a better future and way of being. But what do you think about the work that shows (or suggests) that not only does oxytocin promote loving relationships but also more distrust towards "outsiders"? Our brains evolved in small social groups where everybody we come in daily contact with is in our "in-group", we have to fight our nature to include the whole of humanity - and every living thing on the planet even - within our ingroup - I dont know if this is possible on a large scale, I'd like to think so. But it is not in our "nature".

“In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future” (2017). Inside Sudan’s Forgotten War - BBC Africa Eye documentary ua-cam.com/video/KIDMsalYHG8/v-deo.html

people get trauma hard-wired in their body as an intentional biophoton frequency - it's the magnetic moment of virtual photons - the soul energy. Gurdjieff described this also.

Nature is not violent? Really Rachel? 🤦 Chimpanzees frequently murder each other, and not for food at all. They have full on wars actually and so do ants. If you watch the first Planet Earth documentary, it's all on film. The chimps not only killed the other chimps but they also ate them as a display of dominance. Humans are ultimately a product of nature so everything we do can be said to have natural origins. This romanticizing of nature being somehow benevolent is referred to by biologists as the naturalist fallacy

Climate hs always changed. Marxist mouth pieces wont change it

more doom culture rhetoric. We live in a golden age ,

I give you a standing ovation Art Berman ! This is the "art"of taking attention away from the appropriate solutions. I do not say that you were not right in criticising humanity and human attitude, capitalism, wars but this is the time we must take quick action ! You can take it easy if you have a bunker!

Talking about this kind of stuff is the only way to get past the grief phase, and onto the acceptance, and eventually, hopefully, action phase.

Its not them vs us. It's us vs us. all of us benefit from the fossil fuel powered economy.

"We need to put civilization on a diet." Sure, if you want to destroy the economy. One man's fat is another man's job, literally. Who decides who gets the short end of the stick?

The wise decision is to learn to sit. Watching all the activity of my mind is the start of understanding my actions. There is enough messed up past that I don't really require making too much more of it. The entertainment and squirm inducing memory in there is vast. By the time I am prepared to die, I might have a more peaceful and authentic view of my past and the most practical relations with that particular present. Perhaps I will have understood forgiveness, patience and trust. What else could I ask for? What might you wish for? Less energy use is the best idea. Be ready to perish when we don't get to be serviced.

The simultaneous ignorance, arrogance, and combativeness of the interviewer is really hard to watch. Mark expresses a lot of patience, here.

we should go to Mars because the worlds greatest capitalist is Elon says so, and hes super rich and invents all sorts of amazing critically important things like space rockets that will take us and our pets to Mars, and he plans to make a bit from it, but wait! Theres more ! He also thought of underground highways and the amazing Tesla car [on sale now]. What Will Musk Think of Next ?

Another thing to consider is that in order to balance carbon consumption with restoration we need to reduce use of dirty fuels and replace them with clean. Looks like China has peaked in Carbon last year. This has to be global and encouraged with policy and then proceed to radically reduce dirty fuels. And if you think this is impossible consider how you can do this in your own life. Doing it becomes a virtuous feedback when rewarded. And if you think that would cause you to just spend even more on dirty consumption ask why? 😮

Dinosauria, We

From 8 billion to 3. I mean to 3 people in total.

It's a crisis alright and the nit wits are loose on the internet.

I take exception to the idea that CO2 is a pollutant. It is necessary for the existence of life on the land. Below 150 ppm CO2 we go extinct. At the beginning of the industrial revolution CO2 was 180 ppm !! Dinosaurs flourished with CO2 at 5000ppm. Coal produces pollution as particles in the atmosphere.

Pretty classist analysis because you could say the same thing to a slave ; you don’t HAVE to participate, you’ll just be brutalized if you don’t. Why are there homeless in America? Because you have NO CHOICE but to participate

We know higher education levels are negatively correlated with birth rates. Is this something we can exploit to 'shrink the wheel' in a humane way? If we fund better secondary and post-secondary education on global level, can we use that to reduce population in a way that isn't authoritarian or draconian?

Thank you very much.

The top 3 scientists on collapse: Art Berman, Bill Rees and Tim Garrett. They're the only one's I'm aware of that share the truth without sentiment. Most of the others always find a way to smuggle some hopium in there.

I could not find the book Denial by Barkey Sheldon mentioned.

We need a huge EMP. That would help the world Immensely. Having information at your fingertips has ruined the world. Especially climate change. It's a subject about what ifs. Children today (13-25) have been so brainwashed that they all need some type of therapy. 2100 will look just like it does today. The same as 2000 looked basically the same as 1900. The main difference is that people have moved to the coasts and around the rivers as far as population development. People really need to let a story develop more than 5 minutes before deciding on who's good and who's bad.

Actual peak oil happened around 2009. I'm optimistic that nuclear and fusion energies will become practical soon, that we should stop generating carbon dioxide ASAP.

Wonderful dialogue and creative content. Seems to me that Kate is the most sincere development of Schumacher’s 1973 work outlined in the book “Small is beautiful” a vision of a low-cost, low violence technology applied locally. Love the emphasis on “life supporting”. I hit the subscribe button which I rarely do.

Greta is right: there is an emergency. The biggest part of the 'man made' climate problem is that most people are unaware of the real, and only, way to correct the problem. People need to understand these simple facts: 1.) Real profit is the environment, because everything that we get comes to us from the environment. 2.) "Profit = income - expenses" is a misinterpretation of the word profit. This profit equation requires us to avoid and or eliminate as many expenses as possible; in other words, it requires us to crap on the environment in order to keep expenses low, and it requires us to treat each other as expenses. No wonder there is so much homelessness and the planet is on fire. 3.) Simply switching to wind and or solar power will double or even triple the damages we are doing to the environment. Switching to these energy infrastructures would be the last nail in our collective coffin. 4.) The real solution is to embrace our 'so called' expenses. Like this: "Profit = protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance it provides for all of us". This new profit model changes the meaning of 'expenses'. This new 'profit' model requires us to create millions of new jobs that will come under the heading "Caretakers of the environment". Our environment will be fully repaired and enriched; additionally, we would all have jobs... so virtually no more homelessness. p.s. I love you Greta!

Our behavior towards our environment is guided by a behavior model that we commonly refer to as our 'profit model', namely profit=income-expenses. This behavior model is, in reality, a misinterpretation of 'profit'; therefore, it is the cause of our wrongful behavior towards the environment and each other. Under this current profit model, businesses must avoid and or eliminate as many expenses as possible: Then It's no wonder that there is so much homelessness and the planet is on fire. The current profit model fails to make us aware that our actual profit is the environment. Everything that we get, even our bodies, come to us from the environment. Our profit model also fails to instruct us that our real job, in nature, is to care for and enrich the environment. We need a new profit model in order to reverse man-made climate change. I recommend: Profit = protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance that it provides to all of us. If we stick with our current profit model and instead merely complicate our energy infrastructure with solar and or wind energy, we will double or possibly triple the damages that we have done to our environment. Remember that it's called "Man-Made Climate Change"; not, fossil fuel made climate change. We must correct our behavior, and the only way to do that is by correcting our behavior model.

the environment creates economics and economics creates cultures.

Is this person an actual scientist? It is scientifically impossible to build some machine to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere without ending up producing even more CO2. Thermodynamics (entropy) tells us that. I still don't understand from this talk why exactly companies would buy these dodgy sounding carbon coins. It reeks of cryptocurrency scams.

Reductions in emissions mean the economy is shrinking. It can only shrink so much before civil unrest starts.

As far as i know we need things like cement, bricks, steel, plastics, copper and plasterboard for construction., all of which involve lots and lots of carbon dioxide emissions. Has this changed?

Anyone claiming we can feed 8 billion people without the system we have today is a charlatan.

Art did propose a catch all solution, use less energy. I do think we need to compose a list of no-regrets (or at least minimal regrets) solutions otherwise people will just do nothing. This list can be researched and backed up to the nth degree but it is needed or no action will be taken which will absolutely end in tears.

...easily my favourite PC talk, and great to see Rachel get so animated and engaged during the discussion.

Thank you for sharing

They were saying all this BS back in the'70s. It's all lies...think about it....billions of years of dead microorganisms piling up on the bottom of the seas. There's a lot more oil out there, more than we could ever use.
