One quote springs to mind, " it is easier to fool the people than to convince them that they have been fooled ".
Correct
we supposedly vote governments in because of what there policies are but behind closed doors they have there own agenda
That's why it's so hard to convince climate-change deniers, who have been fooled by a small number of scientists and other (especially right-wing) public figures - who are all part of a world-wide disinformation campaign funded by Koch, Shell, Exxon etc.
@@mudslid3 Governments pay lip service: "look we employ scientists to research climate change"! - then they do diddley squat about it. Maybe they are still in hock to the big industries who finance climate-change denial agendas and disinformation for their own profit!
@@PeterOzanne guess you have personally read the IPCC reports? Or did you just rely on the interpretation of a teenage girl and a Tabloid Journalist George Monbiot?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a journalist disagree with both of her guests on their specialist subjects before.
Makes me think the BBC have another agenda? 🤔
It's what news channels typically do, they question people.
@Shigetsu That's the technique broadcast news shows have been using for decades now.
The BBC and other channels need to find a new format when they deal with the IPCC report and XR.
However, the IPCC report has been provided to actual policy makers and I believe this will be brought forward to the next summit in December for practical measures. In a way, what the broadcast channels and youtube comments do are of little importance - other than allowing for venting.
As long as practical measures are put in place. XR themselves are doing their best to let politicians know that they are being watched and need to include citizens in the decision-making - otherwise they will get protests against unexpected fuel tax rises as we saw in France. A citizens' assembly is crucial to make this process smoother, cooperative and inclusive.
rinnin it’s strange! I think the BBC try to hard to be “objective” in interviews like this and don’t advocate for simple things like saving the planet!! They are not entirely biased for example the David Attenborough documentary was on point!!
Spot on, seriously disturbing stuff. I felt like I was watching Fox News.
Really sad that the BBC has come to this.
If I got arrested or put in jail my job would go straight down the tubes. So it's ok to take time off or live on your savings while you destroy other peoples' means of support?
Exactly rob!!👏👏👍
No jobs on a dead planet.
@@theSTUNTHAMSTER That's hardly an answer to what I asked now is it?
I don’t know how she can afford to be a full time volunteer.
George Soros?
Well how can this so called journalist afford to keep her job? same thing
@@jamesedwards.1069 🙄🙄🙄
Happily that no one else’s business….I don’t work either…
When I cross the road I don't waste time looking both ways, the idea I'll get hit by a car is just fear mongering.
A bit of sense at last. Looking both ways is the leading cause of neck injury, and all they can talk about is some car or bus...
That's called a logical fallacy argument.
That is a terrible way to justify fear mongering
Pascals mugging
There are two point concerning the IPCC 1.5 report that I would like to emphasise!
1) Positive feedback loops are not included in the calculations for the 1.5 report because they are not fully quantifiably.
2) Many scientist agree that that a climate warmed by around 4 degrees will become unstable - reach a tipping point.
Explanation:
1) we understand the principal mechanic of positive feedback loops (PFL), but we do not have concrete figures on them. Not having the PFL in the IPCC 1.5 report means the repot is rather conservative. Also it means we do not know how much the PFL can potentially accelerate the climate warming up. Two examples of PFL are permafrost (essentially frozen biomes that is warmed and exposed to air and micro organisms will be turned into CO2 and Methane.
2) when the tipping point is reached the climates warming will continue to accelerate REGARDLESS of what humanity does. Here I would like to add that of the past 5 global extensions 4 where CO2 induced. And we as Humanity are running eyes wide open into the 6th!
We are already over 1.5 degrees from the 1750 base line.
Why is 1750 the baseline?
@@timpala5841 because most people no not seem to realise that all IPCC reports except the latest used 1750 as the base line. The latest moved the goal posts to 1850, thus eliminating another 0.3 degrees of rise.
So extinction rebellion as you like to upload your BBC performances, how about you upload your representative’s humiliation at the hands of Andrew Neil?
Yep😂😂😂pathetic bullshit
Andrew Neil couldn't humiliate a shy catholic nun who just heard her sister was a crack head prostitute.
“What have you been chained to?” So start the interview with a balanced viewpoint then
So demeaning... "And what do you do for a living?". What a joke.
The irony of course is that Emma is chained to the dogma and subtle propaganda model of the State broadcaster
Obviously not a kitchen sink- ah, the halcyon days....
Simon Maguire it’s the followers who are chaining themselves and getting arrested, and it’s the organizers who are getting paid to appear on TV and get book deals.
@@Chris-oz9qx Bit of a longwinded way to earn a crust. But surely a book deal and TV appearance is a good way to spread a message?
Why don't we just stop having children and then nobody Will die
Hahahahahaaa! You've found the answer to eternal life - just stop having sex. :D
On the other side if we did that no-one would live either!
yeah.....nah...Let's explode our DNA across heaps of milky ways and enjoy the process 😍
The moderator confuses projection with risk. There is a credible risk of mass starvation. This is not a projection of mass starvation. Risk management is not the same thing as fear mongering.
Why did the interviewer ask a question only to constantly interrupt? I would have liked more time to be given and let the scientist provide more information about how science perceives the risk. As always the purpose of these interviews is not to shed light on a serious problem. No science is going to prove that x number of people will be dead by a given time because they don’t know what measures governments will take. However business as usual will do massive harm. At what precise date? Who knows. But since the Paris agreement GHG emissions have increased. 2050 is far enough away for today’s politicians to distance themselves for actions they take now. It is reasonable to assume that there will be many climate refugees, that areas that now grow food will no longer be able to. Some places will experience flooding and others drought. Even the US military recognise climate change as a threat multiplier. Wars get fought over resources and it’ll be our grandchildren that are expected to fight them.
Tony Youens: I live between Canada & USA. I watch BBC and other British programs interview XR people and am constantly shocked at the way interviewers ask questions and then often shout over and interrupt the people before they can make their point. Its very sad when the issues involved may literally mean the difference between
life and death. How can ordinary people access the truth under these conditions?
@Shigetsu if the BBC don't support you its defo bullshit😂😂😂😂
@@Souljahna do your own research !!! Give you a clue its all bs watch a TH-cam channel Justus Knight on climate for a true facts about this subject!!
Because BBC.
BBC because .gov
For anyone like me watching this in 2024 just 4 years or so after the programme it is terrifying how much the climate has changed in the intervening period and how weather extremes have become the norm. 2023 the hottest on record and now 2024 even just three weeks into February looking much higher on average temperature. No informed person is now doubting the very real risk that we will breach a sustainable 1.5C degree of warming above pre-industrial era by the end the 2020s.
It's on the nasa website, didn't know the bbc disagreed with science.
@@MrPeach18 so now you disagree with nasa. OK then I give up. Most research and development in Europe is funded or help funded by the European union...
@@MrPeach18 so he said in 1988 that global warming was happening and now he is still saying the same thing... I don't understand the problem here. I was in the alps in 2006 and at 4am it was 6deg c. Its happening I'm afraid.
And what of all the other scientists? It's in the records pal you can look them up yourself.
Correct me if I am wrong but we're told that as temperatures rise then so do sea levels. the two are inexorably linked. Therefore if you struggle to find massive sea level changes it can only be because there is very little warming. I actually struggle to find massive sea level rises, not here in the UK, not on the east coast of the USA, nor in Australia....what sensible conclusion might one draw here ?
@Anxious Aussie But, you didn't
Wow, the nightmare of cherry picking journalists, turning a minor issue into a central pointless theme.
Minor issue? How?
Let the interviewees speak!!!!
I hope Extinction Rebellion are incorrect. But if their correct, will you be in the front line helping, or in the back line hiding ? XOX
why wait to be in the front line my grandfathers didn't
@@mudslid3 I have been on the front line for the past five years already, glad people are starting to catch up, its about time. XOX
It's time to do something about our mess, we must do what we feel is the right thing, all our hearts speak the same language, we understand when we care. How can you not love planet 🌍
The risks don't just go up with every "half degree of warming"... they go up with any fraction of a degree of warming continuously!! Every OUNCE of of CO2 makes it worse.
Hi Sarah. Take 5 minutes to google arctic sea ice loss by volume since 1970. 5 more minutes to google the consequent disruption to the northern hemisphere jet stream and the disruption to the weather patterns this causes to the major food producing areas of the world. This will be a salutary moment in facing the facts. I wish us all well. Add in the catastrophic loss of insects and earthworms and the inevitable outcome is an ever increasing loss of food crops...already started. Perhaps your interview would be more in line with reality. The major facts are simple, uncontested and truly frightening. Good luck
Add another 5 minutes to see that GHG emissions are again going through the roof despite more and more renewables going on stream. Add in the fact that over the past thirty years we only achieved a tiny dent in the growth of emission..and that was for less than a year!.. A depression or major recession is the only thing that has proven to work. Our economic system is killing us..
@@robvannNS I'm pretty sure that a major recession is on its way.
Then take 5 minutes to google that north and south poles go in hot cold in cycles. Its normal.
Climate activists have no precis answers. No one does.
They want to abandon economic growth and development for climate protection. Not even the IPCC suggest that. They are against 98% of all the energy sources on the planet. Using the remaining 2%, (wind and solar), and with no capabilities to store unreliable power, they expect to power the world, including 1 billion new electric cars requiring even more electricity from the grid. No one mentions that Co2 and temp have a logarithmic relationship. Even if CO2 continues to accelerate, the temperature will not increase at the same rate as the past. Ending fossil fuels today temp would still mean temperature rises since it stays in the atmosphere for 100s of years. In other words it’s already too late to do anything about what already is today. CO2 has gone from 0.03% to 0.04% in 200 yrs. Plants feed best at ~0.15% and why its pumped in to commercial greenhouses. Humans live in nuclear submarines up to ~0.4%. Rising seas are expected to be 50 cm in 80 yrs yet one third of Holland live ~5 m below sea level without a problem. Humans made the Earth 3% warmer because of 30% more co2, yet it's 15% greener which is never mentioned by MSM. The media also missed that last week 500 scientists and professionals in the field petitioned the UN insisting doomsday was not anywhere in the near future.
Everyone is blames capitalism yet do not acknowledge the basic life indicators like freedom, poverty, literacy, life expectancy etc all have improved thanks to capitalism and carbon. Whilst regression is not a serious option because no-one is willing to give up their iphones, we are all hoping the patriarchal STEM fields to come up with a silver bullet. This panic on CO2 warming consuming the world whilst the real environmental problems like toxic pollution, over fishing or the 9 Asian rivers feeding 95% plastics in our oceans is being ignored.
And to top if off it really doesnt help that the track record of alarmist doomsday climate warnings have been consistently wrong or exaggerated since the 60s.
Climate policy needs to be based on sensible forecasts, realistic economics, and genuine concern for those most vulnerable in the developing world, not by costly and unnecessary virtue signaling attempts at mitigation in the west. Accelerating energy innovation, increasing resilience to extreme weather and reducing toxic waste does not require any agreement about climate science. It is just climate pragmatism, not climate panic.
@@tgonc couldn't put it better myself 👏👏👏💯
Google will tell you that one pole is losing ice and the other gaining ice. The total ice is still the same.
A BBC invitee, scientific expert and author of the inter-government panel on Climate Change, supporting the XR case on current dangers, and making it clear that it is for governments to act. Heads will role.
Roll even... yes they thought they could skewer a crusty old greenie but she dominated them and forced the scientist to admit she is right.
@@philipocarroll Sarah was brilliant, but Myles said, and it was the panel's advice to Government, "there is a lot of science that backs up the very considerable risk we run". He did not balk at XR more pessimistic predictions.
A voluntary job still means you are on benefits. I still say that 90% of them are on some kind of benefit. Surely the government can find tree planting jobs up in the north of Scotland. Clearing rivers of rubbish. And building bike paths across country by hand. All these things would help the environment. And there are crops like strawberries raspberries potatoes turnips broccoli need to be farmed for the vegan diet. Unemployment could be cut drastically there are plenty of people to do the jobs. Surprise surprise they suddenly earn money
90% on benefit... a very reasonable conclusion pulled entirely from your arse. Well done.
@@doranamos9019 you frightened they get you a job
Hiw many times do these end of the world scenarios be proven wrong for them to stop?
Mad as a fish.
I think we all need to confront our cognitive dissonance on this issue, but oh boy, the interviewer has a long way to go.
dammit ..I don't understand the reluctance to agree many millions of people will die quite soon if we don't solve this crisis...people should be in fear...not sticking their heads in the sand.
Wrong. Billions will die if they lose access to fossil fuels. Stop fearmongering.
@@elingrome5853 Did you miss the bit where if we get to 4C the worlds carrying capcity for humans is reduced by 6 or 7 billion? Never mind that that also involves wiping out most of the rest of the wildlife because we'll be using all the resource. We have other sources of energy and could transition off fossils in 20 years without any real difficulties at all. You are the one that's fearmongering, and trying to lock us into inevitable disaster. Change direction now and disaster can be avoided.
You’re attacking the wrong country. Britain has cut co2 emissions whilst China and India build new coal power stations and Brazil destroys the Amazon rainforest
@@chrisj9700 actualy XR is a worldwide movement and it needs all if not as many countryies as possible onboard and working towards better futures, why would China listen to a croud of english protesters that then go home and continue to pollute with no reaction. Idk if i wrote that the way I meant it but its like the saying 'practice what you preach' because if we dont then what reason would they have to do as we say? Just because we have made a bit of progress doesnt mean we can put our feet up and claim its not our issue anymore, we still have so much more to do.
Christopher Jennings
China and India are making stuff for us. It’s still our problem we have just outsourced. Bit like us shipping all our plastic to poor nations and pretending we are doing really well with recycling
Clearly a biased piece. Even the back drop makes XR look dodgy.
They are dodgy. they want a retareded version of communism.. but without the industry growth.. so what is that then?
XR is dodgy.
Sarah Lunnatic :)
Got a new slogan for BBC news... "fair and balanced." ;)
Or "here to listen" xD
I feel like I’m living in some disaster B movie
Little will change till events bring change.
This jornalist forgot what jornalism actually means. Asking questions and cutting peoples answers is not it certainly
It's the BBC. They long ago gave up any semblance of debate.
Why don’t extinction rebellion ever bring a real scientist with them
Because no scientist worth his salt would ever risk his/her reputation.
mascara snake correct 😃
@@wangdangdoodie Except for the thousands of scientists and doctors in high profile positions who have come forward in support of XR but you'd have to make some sort of effort to know that I suppose.

Do you need more or what
I agree much more needs to happen, and fast as well, but I don't believe there is time for system change/overthrowing capitalism. Because after overthrowing the existing system, you have to build something new. Are we ready for that? What's the alternative, and how do you achieve a smooth and fast transition to a new economic system without years of chaos, poverty and quite possibly deaths? Sounds to me like a lot of time will be lost that could have been spent on the problem at hand: climate change.
You’re fighting the wrong battle. If we are going to have a monetary system, the stock market must go. People must earn their way. Public utility should not be in private hands.
You want to be co2 free and keep fossil fuel in the ground. How then will you make all your plastic windmills and solar panels for the world, which will have huge carbon footprint. Windmills and solar are made from petro chemicals /fossil fuels. Co2?
When you are on a citizens' assembly, you will get the opportunity to ask your question of experts in that particular field. If you want to get the chance to do that - support XR's demand for a citizens' assembly.
Windmills and solar panels are made out of unrecycleable plastic. You you don't need to be on a citezens assembly to ask that question.
@@davidmcnamara1108 You do if you want to ask it of experts in that particular field. They will be able to tell you the relative environmental costs and benefits to producing electricity using particular methods.
It's not possible to make windmills and solar panels without C02 or fossil fuels you don't need to be an expert. And now they want to put giant plastic windfarms at sea. Think about how they manufacture these. Windmills are anything but green and you don't need to be an expert.
@@davidmcnamara1108 Why are you so perturbed about bringing forward your questions, concerns and ideas to panels of experts on a citizens' assembly?
I think Robert Hallum has been using the unfounded predictions of Guy McPherson, a scientist who has no expertise in climate science.
Oops! The suited scientist was supposed to dismiss XR as "scaremongers". He didn't follow the script. Cue floundering interruptions from the interviewer.
Actually I expected him to back the activist up more and he played the fence very well throughout the whole interview. Everyone is banging on about the interviewer. Study the responses of the scientist more closely. He didn't expound on any of the figures the extinction rebellion activist stated and he certainly was unwilling to support her cliam about the impending extinction of 6.5 billion people. It was a very interesting interview. I expected more stats from the scientists and he was really reserved. That's not the interviewers fault. I bet the extinction rebellion activist feels fairly cheated by the whole experience.
Geeeeeez....
Why the hell is someone as lightweight as Emma Barnett presenting newsnight? shame on the BBC for dumbing down.
What happens when we reach 4 degrees, do we disintegrate? Lol
If you consider great swathes of land wiped out by drought induced wildfires, starving from multiple crop failures and the extinction of great numbers of marine species, people dying from heatwaves or thirst from lack of freshwater, while many major cities, islands and lowlands disappear under rising sea levels, plus wars over diminishing areas of habitable land to be a sort of disintegration, then yes.
Follow the money, there's an awful lot of pigs in this trough.
50% chance of maintaining a livable environment at 1.5 but multiple studio show how unlikely meeting those target are, firstly because governments not meeting their commitments and secondly because of feed back loops like the carbon in the environment today will keep heating for the next 30years, permafrost melt emissions with rising temperatures, coral reef degradation which is now soaking up are emissions, the oceans have been capturing the atmospheres heat but it is at capacity..IPPC does not count any of these affects I’m afraid.
Which cities are being inundated with water ? Now... this year
Well, a great deal of Nebraska and Missouri's farmland has been put underwater due to climate driven natural disasters.
@@moonturkey you mean floods which have always happened and always will. You have just relabelled them as " climate disasters"
Who do they blame for the ice age?
Really good journalist!
Where are the stats? Don't just say crops will die in 20 years or we only have 2 generations to live. Hard facts please, with a plausible study of over 20 years to prove your point.
The facts are in the IPCC report. Available for anyone to read and strongly encouraged to do their own research and not listen to loud mouths on social media.
The IPCC is just another governed scheme by a political movement, no real merit in there outputs.
Work commences on my inter galactic space station tomorrow so i am outta here in a year . There will be room for my family and a 100 lucky survivors drop me aline and a cheque and you are in
Anyone who thinks they can control climate needs mental health assessment
plant trees don't cut them down for 2 centuries.
The horrible irony is billions need to die in order for things to stay below 1.5 degrees. The facts are it’s too late. I hate to admit that but the evidence out there suggests we should have dealt with this 30 years ago. Insane levels of growth across Asia in the last 25 years have made this into a problem that is out of control. Even if the world made zero carbon emissions from tomorrow we’d still be facing serious problems for many years.
A letter signed by 500 Scientists was delivered to the UN saying there is no "Climate Emergency".
Where's her black ski mask?
and we have flooding daily EMMA
As long as people are sleeping they will continue dreaming! Be kind be vegan the most immediate way of making a difference towards climate change.
Who funds you, Big Business Corporation?
If you mean XR do some self research on their website like other people who are curious about it.
@@mudslid3 Christopher is talking about BBC my dear mUdz.
@Christopher Conlogue They just seemingly deny because it's a simple thing to do. Don't overlook the social finding, Christopher, that people are inherently optimistic even in the most shittiest situations. BBC probably wants to balance information from both sides, they just don't know how. (By the way, look, if this interview would have been seriously climate-catastrphy leaning, than there would be others suggesting the same thing as you do, just from the opposite side.)
They are funded by George Soro's Open Society Foundation. Funny how they never talk about geoengineering. Every weather event she sites has been man made and not by climate change.For example, it has been established that the fires in California were and are caused by PG&E. a Rothschild company. The banks that the properties mortgages are with are Rothschild. The insurance companies are Rothschild. So now we have a massive land grab as the banks wont lend on a property that isnt insured. Insurance companies wont supply cover because its a fire risk area and its a fire risk area because the power companies made it so.All of them Rothschild companies and lets not forget Mr Soros is their top puppet.
Im just tired, I would totally burn all my money if we were done with it, I HAVE burned some money (too long ago, too bad) Capitalism has plagued me my whole life, Im an american, I've talked to people about the point of pursuing happiness, to doing the best in my life no matter what is encouraged, as long as it makes a real positive change, which has caused me so much pain and suffering unemployment social isolation and hatred, that I don't feel the need to discuss capitalism much, I find its a waste of time often. I find a lot more good in discussing how people are just copying others arguments, misusing those arguments to justify them simply not caring, simply complying with whatever makes them popular or wealthy. For people either too good at discussing this and clearly not thinking, or not thinking clearly enough to get that level, we have the simple fact that most people are not making ANY DECISIONS at all, except for their personal gain, and the rest of the time they are accepting whatever they are told by the authority they believe in, be it financial religious, social, sexual, entertainment, whatever it takes is what media gives us to substitute our rational decision making and critical analysis with slogans, mottos, supplied arguments, etc
This especially applies to news casters who demand answers but seem to only ask "how would this benefit me?" in as many veiled terms as they can. What they want is to hear the answers so that people have time to ready their defenses against the truth.
The USA is gone crazy for some time, but we're catching up with America now in Europe 😢

The way they tried to cut Sarah off before she could address the other guy's dumb comment about capitalism. So blatant.
Where did this journalist learn how to conduct an interview? Interrupting her interviewees and asking slanted questions??
unfortunately we have seen this all before.
personally I've seen it multiple times in the last week
Please have a listen to New Zealand band Tripzville Godz and there new song "The Nikola Tesla song" WHICH IS DEDICATED to all the beautiful people attempting to bring the coming Climate catastrophe to the masses attention.
We have never had predictable weather 😂
All our agriculture is based on the weather that has been around the last 10,000 years. Wrong we have had quite dramatic changes of climate in just the last 1000. We have had the middle ages warming period and the maunder minimum. These people would get further if they could only get their facts right instead of repeating missleading slogans
NOPE she dosent
BBC making clumsy resentful baby steps to include climate change in its output. BBC also evidently resentful for being singled out as part of the problem.
Makes me laugh. Their pathetic slow uptake, which is evident in this interview throughout, caught them with their pants down when just 18 months later the IPCC stated categorically that climate change is real and humans are at the root and branch of it!
I loath the BBC. Even Sky News, of all broadcasters, has a weekly news slot given over to coverage of climate change and its impacts.
Begins every reply with ‘So’...patronising bollocks.
So what's your plan? I have watched so many xr videos and they seem to think that disruptive behavior will magically eliminate oil use. You don't get to complain about a problem without a solution. One building cities with the south side dedicated to greenhouses is the only answer and it would take all the worlds resources. Omg overthrowing capitalism just makes the cars and farming communal it doesn't eliminate oil.
Well said Sarah, assertive responses to being talked over
I was in an oil company... uf

@@rodrigog2793 Right, missed that bit
Extremely rude interviewer..I'm not in any way a fan of Extinction Rebellion, but have some manners.
You should check out her background.
Science is always many years behind the data and there is no time to catch up.
This is never talked about, and it's the reason to get on with the final debate: how to cope with the big curtain
Always?? Give me one example when there is consensus and when there is not.
Isn’t extinction just the natural way of things ?.
The human brain is the most complex organism in nature, we know what's best for it
I love it, Sarah totally dominated. Emma tried to shut her down but was skewered. We're not done here until my message is heard. I guess the BBC will just add her to the list of people that won't get invited back. They thought they were going to get a harmless crusty instead they got a running buzzsaw.
I, a activist who blocked the roads in Berlin with XR earlier this week, have to say that I‘m honestly disappointed of the unscientific statements by Sarah Lunnon. Important: Anything she states is here personal opinion and does not represent the movement as a whole.
Children are easily manipulated. You're old enough to know better.
I was on the barricades too this week. She was a bit strident, but what she said was mostly correct. She and Myles appeared to be in broad agreement on the science, which was great to hear. She did say half a billion, when it's actually 1 billion, but to be honest that's neither here not there if you get to that point. That 1-billion carrying capacity at 4C statement comes from Hans Jaochim Schellnhuber, a very eminent climate scientists at the Potsdam institute. Useful to have Roger's '6 billion dead' number explained as it did seem a bit OTT.
And the net-zero by 2050 give us a 50:50 chance of staying under 1.5C is also correct - that's straight out of the IPCC. Kevin Anderson is good at explaining how those numbers work.
Which part did you feel was unscientific? I do agree that people in XR do sometimes say things which are not supported by the science (usually going from 'X is possible' to 'X is inevitable', without properly explaining the caveats or the timescales). And I wish they wouldn't, but not everyone can be an expert. It was great to see Myles essentially supporting the movement, especially as he's at the more conservative end of climate scientist opinion AIUI.
. Wookey I don’t mean that she was saying anything which was strictly not correct. She just kept ignoring pretty much everything Myles and the moderator said and kept on the „our children are dying so burn capitalism“ line, which I personally don’t 100% agree with and I think is definitely a bad strategy in a big TV interview, especially if there’s a scientist sitting next to you and saying something different.
@@ninopreuss2549 To be fair the moderator pretty much ignored everything she said too :-) I don't know if you are familiar with Kevin Anderson but he is always rigorous with the science (and is a Climate scientists) but is very sceptical that financial incentives within the existing system can actually effect change fast enough. It was fine when we needed 4%/yr but now we need 12%/yr or so it gets really difficult.
Still. I think we are pretty-much in agreement in that we'd prefer to do this without trying to overthrow capitalism _as well_ as decarbonise. I just hope it can be done in a useful timescale.
It's funny, ive just watched the film Joker and im not gonna spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but there were a few scenes that slightly marred it for me because I thought that "intellegent" people in real life know better than to ridicule others in front of thousands of people watching because it's completely unimportant to a debate and only highlights their pathetic immaturity, and then I saw this and it appears I was wrong.
I could have many harsh words for that news reporter. But actually I just feel sorry for her as she's clearly unaware of the gratitude of the situation.
Are these 2 guests married to each other?
That guy David Bellamy, yes the one on TV when we were young, says different.
He published an article disagreeing with carbon neutral taxation. And he's a professor of botany. He says 18,000 scientists signed a statement where they disagreed with what the public are being led to believe. He says just think how all this money could be used in a much better way because he reckons we are all being conned.
He says the science doesn't add up.
He retracted that position since then

Wow, really...thanks for letting me know.
Is it in an article or on video ?

I have looked but I can't find anything that tells me he retracted his statements. But I did find this on TH-cam : The Great Global Warming Swindle.
I agree with Extinction Rebellion that we need to do something and Now. but there is some really bad and inaccurate figures and concepts held by ER and its going to undermine there cause plus there appears to be an almost fascist state of mind where they states there way is the only way. I have had the argument and the result they get rude aggressive and personnel. This state of mind will only work against ER this attitude will and is undermining there cause.
Talk about waffle.
They have no idea about what they are talking about
waffle is easy, crepe is more skilled xD
People have real problems do you think that we care? Block airports when I go to see my wife and I will guarantee you I'll start breaking jaws.
Is it me or are lots of journalists getting shitter and shitter but more and more cocky?
Okay! A scientist started telling that scientist is in the world to inform facts and its politicians to decide sollutions. And my continue is if politicians dont act the people have to react and be the driver for politicians to change.
But fun that the "scientist" or is he (kinda degrade himself to be a politician) - then use the rest of the interview to be political
WTF are you waffling on about?
Keep ducking and diving until it is to late to change anything.The intervieuwer was very sceptical not wanting to understand of the problems we are in and facing for our future.Thank you very much she said this is where we have to leave it.Unbelievable her attitude.
WHAT GIVES YOU THE FUCKING RIGHT?
50/50? Even Russian Roulette has better Odds...
...and yet a lot of the protesters (albeit serious in their good intentions) will no doubt still continue to be at it like rabbits over the next 5, 10, 20-odd years, helping the world's human population reach 10billion by 2050!
All nutters
Plants grows from light, water and Co2.

So eventually we got there. Get rid of capitalism and the world will be saved.
Crackpots...
Don't you just love an interviewer that hasn't the least idea about the content of the programme - ever heard of Peter Wadhams and Guy McPherson and as for your ineptitude as an interviewer rude, crass obviously under instruction
