So grateful to have never had any children, it's my way of making the world greener 🌎

That was lovely. A simple statement about something almost every legged creature on this planet does every day but with a depth. Beautiful.

Rose very inspirational, walk is the way to better health.

As long as we worship money, nothing will change for the better.

Please be careful about disseminating misinformation. Large grasses can sequester more carbon faster than trees. The oceans have absorbed more CO2 than forests. So oceans have done more to keep the 'balance'. If you were the only passenger on that Nairobi flight, then it might require 70 trees to offset YOUR share of the carbon emissions BUT THAT IS NOT LIKELY THE CASE. Not all flights use that much, many use more. While it may be difficult for you to plant enough trees to keep a balance, it is not just you planting trees. There were over two billion trees planted each year, and that number is growing. Besides that, trees prooagate on their own. Yes, we need to stop deforestation but stop being a defeatist. Stop mowing lawn. Don't take that flight to Nairobi. Eat local and seasonal. Help regreen wasteland. It not all about TREES, or YOU.

I tink algae are also a great solution

It's happening everywhere. Shame on us.

have people forgotten that 7/10 of the earth's surface is covered with sea water, where no trees can grow? but wait! the top 10mt or so of the ocean is a veritable soup of phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants) which are busy capturing dissolved CO2, photosynthesising with it (making sugars & food for other marine animals small & big) & releasing O2 into the water as a byproduct ... the seas, not the amazon forests are the lungs of the earth ... & that's not counting kelp forests etc ...

I agree a lot of groups have jumped on teh climate change bandwagon to get their work done, A healthy forest requires variety and many fungal species that may be absent in a newly planted artificial forest

all growing things absorb carbon

How about ditching the dirty diesel for a horse? Or solar electric?

You’re an inspiration :) ❤

As long as profit is next to godliness, climate and environmental health will decline. We MUST reassess our priorities. Maximum profit is a straight road to destruction.

Absolutely right, but getting that over to planners here in the UK is almost as easy as vertical takeoff. 😢 I used to live in Russia; no one takes about the massive deforestation going on there.

You are so inspiring. I hope and pray you a very successful walk to raise funds for the home and improve lives of so many children.

I also want to walk the "camino"

Love it!!!

We own a small farm. We have planted a hundred trees give or take, and a bamboo grove. We rotationally graze and make biochar from the prunings, deadfall, and bamboo. I’ve done the math, despite investing several hours daily, we are not pulling down enough carbon to offset the emissions from even a very modest American lifestyle. We can slow the train, but stopping it or putting it in reverse will require massive adjustments to our way of life. Unfortunately, I don’t think we have the will to change and all the usual parasites are showing up to take advantage of a crisis. Good luck to everyone. Be kind as this unfolds.

I don't think there is a housing shortage - yes, there are a lot of people who 'need' affordable houses, and a lot of property around the country lies empty (owned by rich individuals and corporations - for investment purposes). Look at the type of properties shown on those billboards - they're not the sort of homes meant for addressing the housing 'needs' of low income workers (as usual). They're the sort of houses builders put up to squeeze as much profit as they can out of each plot (basically: as large a house as they can build with a token pocket handkerchief garden that's mostly shaded because of walls/fences). Builders always build these types of property, they can't seem to think any other way. The same sort of thing going on here happened where I used to live as a child. There was a low wooded hill back by the best blackberry bushes anywhere, where us children would play and explore and pick wild berries, which was later turned into a nature reserve. When I visited the area some 20 years later - it had become a housing estate. All the species that used to thrive there, gone under the lawnmower, under petunias and hybrid tea roses. We can't go on building housing in this manner, where architects 'believe' that everyone must continue to be spread out, with their own individual property sat on their own individual plot of earth. We can't maintain that kind of system of housing. Architects are going to have to design upwards again - no, not the ugly 60's/70's style cheap and nasty tower blocks that need to be torn down after 20 years, but apartments that go up 3-4 levels only, are strong, sound-proof, tastefully designed with garden balconies, the base set into gardens comprising of a corporation-managed wildlife area as well as a separate play area for children, car parking underground. This will take up less room, and stop wasting so much green space on providing mean-sized gardens that will probably only ever become scrubbed out lawns anyway. There have been estimates of the amount of green space that make up British people's gardens that are meant to make it sound like we're doing a wonderful job of being Earth-friendly. But these places generally are far from wonderful. 2 weeks in a row I have been out on my hikes, and each time have had to clap a hand over my mouth as I pass by a householder spraying Roundup on weeds on his/her pathways. Yes, our gardens might be 'green' spaces, but in most cases only as far as describing the colour. When it comes to the usefulness of the area, they're not green at all! Packaged composts from who knows where, made from god knows what. Chemical sprays for weeds, moss in lawns, algae on concrete pathways, aphids on roses, mildew on vegetables and fruits, preservatives and paints on fences and outbuildings. Walking into some gardens is like walking into a toxic dump.

Doesn't algae produce the most oxygen? I don't know about its sequestration abilities.

Yep, the government likes to 'perform' at these environment summits - smart suits, smart words, smart promises. It's all an act though. When it comes down to it, they couldn't give a monkey's about the environment. Profit before Nature, every time. I've just watched as much as I could bear about a new mine, the biggest we've ever dug, in some Nature Reserve (I didn't stick around long enough to find out which one, I was that disheartened). And what is this mine for? Gas and Oil. Enough to satisfy the relevant industries for the 'next 20 years.' What on Earth is the point in setting zero carbon targets - if before that time they concentrate on sapping the ground for every drop/crumb of fossil fuel to burn 'first?' Surely, the best way would be to ensure the money that went into constructing this pit went into researching better ways to improve green energy and actually 'get on with building it, instead of talking about it.' The money used to dig this hole could have been used to put solar panels on the roofs of as many adequate municipal buildings as possible, and made them at least partly capable of generating their own electricity, saving councils and the government alike a fortune in bills (and saving us council tax payers from a little of the council tax hikes).

Thanks for this very interesting insight. Very well balanced.

Global warming is a SCAM. Climate changes. As it has since day one. That big bright light in the sky is what makes it work.

Your music is louder than your words

I feel like cutting trees can be fine as long as they're immediately replanted. That cut wood is still sequestering carbon, assuming you don't burn it.

I wonder how much leaves they produce. And I don't like how the efforts seem to be put down. But good effort for this though

I heard of research into the co2 absorption of trees in the Amazon forest. Sadly despite the fact that they concluded that the trees are on average converting 20% more co2 than they used to traditionally; trees world wide are not capable of keeping up with our co2 emissions. sadly also apparently as these trees are maturing faster than ever the Amazon is starting to become an aging jungle as regeneration is not keeping up. I would not comment just to be a doom Sayer, so keep planting trees for bio diversity, mental health, to have timber instead of plastic etc. I wanted to advocate for "Mother Plant" Arboriculture techniques. It seems that by leaving Mother trees you get faster regeneration and grater desees resistance.(PS it looks like "Mother Webs" are a common feature of plants more generally.) I have become convinced that the time for Climate Mitigation mesures has arrived. The thought of them has given me hope I haven't had for a while as I have long been a global warming convert. One scientist[I can't remember his name] suggested taking presumably tankers full of Iron filings out to mid oceanic waters which are liquid deserts due to the lack of nutrients and spreading them around to encourage Plankton blooms which can make a major contribution to co2 adsorption AND the struggling Mareen ecosystem. The sooner we get over our "climate Inertia" the easier we will have it. Bless all of you who do more than I do.

It seems so quiet.

Ohhh. I saw heaven today.

Nicely done !

Fabulous!

Beautiful movie and beautiful nature! Thank you! 🥰💙

Weather events are getting more extreme because of Climate Change. How extreme does the weather have to get before governments and corporations wake up and stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire. There is a Climate Crisis. We need Climate Action NOW !

Follow the money and I'm sure one can figure out why the council is not able to stop the growth.

Thank you for these important point. It'S the same in Germany and all in the world. Let the nature islands alone! Other problem is, to many outcutting old trees with huge harvester that destroying habitats around too.

Same in Germany. Little nature left, even little agricultural areas. Germany could not feed itself should it need to. Yet logistic centers in the size of whole villages get raised. As a private person I am by law not allowed to build a garden shed bigger than 15m2. And neither a passive solar green house for avocado or lemons. But when there is money involved? These logistic centers where the gazillion of lorries unload and load and create privately own profit? Sure. No problem. Go ahead. (I don't understand what the heck happened that Germany transports all goods on the road now instead of rails. We have a good rail system.)

Thank you for the great video. If the calculation is correct, it makes me think to have a technological way to solve the climate change problem

So far the right has won by telling us Climate change is a hoax. And only those on the right believe them.

Great video essay. It needs more viewers! Comment people!

your music is so loud i cannot understand the voices.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the World as it is. All a scam.

Can’t hear much because of music.😑

*VASECTOMY is the best climate-fighting tool ever.*

A very good presentation mr. Shelly. I am privileged and grateful to have under my control for the duration of my life 120 Acres which is varying habitat including pond grasslands fruit trees of many kinds as well as a small Forest if you want to call it that. The forest itself is diverse it has multiple species of trees in it and I prefer to keep it that way. So I do consider myself very fortunate as there is hundreds and hundreds of trees on this property. But what I would like to bring up is that I do not travel unless I absolutely have to I purchase everything I can locally and I grow and utilize everything off my land that I can. The one thing nobody ever seems to mention ever in all of these little programs is the 8 billion or so people that live on this planet I think through the United Nations or some other organization we could encourage countries to bring the total number of people on this planet down to under a billion that way down the road it wouldn't happen now but down the road people could live comfortably they could live well and successful lives you would not have people starving in places on this planet the simply should not be having humans live in them. Also we must kill human greed because that is also a major factor in destroying our planet.

Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. A stunning expression of what i have been trying to convey, with little success, for years, to so many. This video needs to be translated into as many languages as possible and disseminated through as many channels as possible to as many humans as possible! ❤

Deeply moving. So greatful for you, the beautiful images and video, your stark, scientific logic and honesty -- and every tree you have given life to. Thank you from Bolivia.

When the background music decides it's time to come to the foreground...

Tree planting or rather revegetation ( its not just about the trees ) techniques have come a long way over the years. Forget offsets, it should be done anyway. These initiatives need all the funding and encouragement they can get. Just preserving what is left is a cop out. We can make new of or close to almost any habitat, why discourage that.

Its more about how much heat can the rainforest absorb? How much heat can Cities absorb? How much heat can Human absorb? How much heat can animals absorb? How much heat can water absorb? How much heat can trees absorb? How much heat is too much?
