@@robtall5537 Its not his fault at all. My advice to young people: Get rid of capitalism. Most all of humanities problems would go away in a heartbeat, if we didnt have capitalism giving all the power to these ass-sitter, power-hungry rich elite bastards. This isnt a issue of human nature at all; when looking at the Science, this is capitalist nature. They are addicted to power, and will stop at nothing until the demise of the entire planet. Money is their weapon, and capitalism is their perceived world, not ours. Time for you to stfu and step up the plate fcs, because its capitalism that has doomed us all.
Roger, I live in Trump country in the Western US. We’ve been losing first our home insurance because of more frequent fires. The forests are still thick, though over three billion trees have died in Western North America over the last twenty years. Much of our forest has crossed a tipping point and what comes next will be different. Rain and snow patterns have changed dramatically. Loss of the boreal forest, permafrost and the AMOC, Greenland ice, and blue ocean summers in the Arctic will make most of North America south of Canada uninhabitable, probably in the next seventy years. Things are quickly getting interesting.

I am 60. I feel sorry for my grand kids. I noticed changes in my teens in the 80's. THAT is when people should have made changes. Not after the snowball is already rolling.

Great lecture. But I am afraid attempt at civil disobedience is futile. Why? Because vast majority of people are blissfully unaware of oncoming catastrophe and don't care to learn about it either. All they can see is what's right in front of them, blissful comfort in mass consumerism and any radical changes will bring about inconveniences and deprivation which they don't want. There is no significant population invested in radically transforming the system, and therefore any attempt at radical transformation of society cannot succeed.

@@user-rb7ns9yj5y : Yup. The ruling class have been identified. According to Prof Peter Philips, they are the Global Capitalist Elite, made up of the CEO's and Directors of 100 Investment companies. They control the Wealth, politicians, military, police, private armies, msm, the lot. They could halt carbon emissions overnight, but they won't. They are obsessed with money, it's a machine that won't stop until the World is destroyed.

The people who he says are purposely causing the catastrophe are the Global Capitalist Elite, a superclass who run the West. Prof Peter Philips' book, 'Giants' lays it out. This elite control the Wealth, the politicians, military, police, private armies, msm, the lot. This is who the climate activists will have to confront with non-violence.

Hey! Got a question, Mr. Hallam said the total greenhouse gasses It’s around 500ppm, but 450ppm might be a tipping point? Trying to understand the difference between the two. Am very new to this. Can someone help with an answer please?
Total greenhouse gases (GHGs) is primarily carbon (~420ppm now) and also includes methane, nitric oxides, water vapor, F-gases, ground-level ozone, and other gases. This makes it higher, around 500ppm. We also call this CO2e (equivalent. For example, methane causes 7-80x more warming than carbon does, but it only lasts around 12 years, 100 at most. Carbon lasts thousands). CO2 is the primarily driver so the tipping point he referred to is for carbon only. The 560ppm CO2e he mentioned seems to be where we’ll see 1.5-4.5°C of warming (I’d guess +3) according to NOAA. Roger said we’d “lock in” 5°C of warming with that. Keep in mind the time scale matters: 10 vs 30 vs 100 years. Even with no new GHGs released, temps would continue to rise (for at least 40 years. The climate system “lags” behind). I’m late but I hope that helps.

@@robtall5537 Not at all, you just sound a bit silly. Denialism is also a product of anxiety, for instance, such as when someone feels the need to view a climate emergency video just to troll.
@@robtall5537 the only thing that's irrational here is the fanciful notion that 90% of climate science is wrong, that you can burn billions of gallons of toxic-producing fuel with no repercussions at all, that you can produce billions of pounds of single use plastic and dump it in our oceans and expect nothing will happen. Sounds really "rational"!

Hallam heading for the political wilderness and obscurity. Young people should treat this confused contradictory, superficial musing of generalisations that mean everything and nothing with the contempt it deserves. Hallam has fallen victim to his own political history where nothing has changed precisely because he's been leading you all down a dead end road, and now he's finally lost the plot all together in his abject despair. Time is certainly running out but there is only one road to go down . To come together with the working class that is now rebelling across the globe and take political and economic power for itself. End the capitalist system ...we need international socialism. We need science to dictate not profit !!
The international working class want cars, upward mobility, personal agency, gas cookers and leasur time. Only western liberals want internation socialism.
Wisdom says it is not "either or" , it's "both-and". Eg. Its not either engaging with the structures of the establishment, or creating alternative, human-scale institutions - especially if encouraging groupthink tribalism with the symbols of anarchy and unnessesarily "scaring the horses". Somehow we we need assemblies with enough formal stuctures to interact skillfully with city hall to create some concessions, for example sustainable shelters and tenancies, which do ease the precariat predicament and creates *political space* for concerted organising. A dance between strategic, proactive campaigns, such as social housing and caring for food/watersheds. And relatively spontaneous reactive acts of NVDA to DElegitimise damaging BAU (business-as-usual). The *maintenance* of group wellbeing and functioning is as important as what campaigns *do*. This can only be achieved with a degree of traditional democratic *stucture*, along with all the connective tissue of a culture of kindness and respect. These democratic structures can still be messy in liberal practice. They contrast with personality cults favouring a privileged few, or even a privileged majority! Such is life among us humans. The only issue for anarchistic groups is whether these informal structures are formalised enought to assure a decent degree of transparency and accountability. In other words, anarchists and conservatives are stronger in mutually respectful relationship, listening to and learning from ome another. It's a dance between heart and head, each with its risk of going astray or conceit. Wisdom is both, resilient enough to keep returning to balance. C'est la vie/that's life. That's wisdom. Homework for Anarchy 101: read "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" the short essay by Jo Freeman, 1970. Thinking rebels should be acquainted with this debate. Useful too, in the tribalising and confirmation-bias engines of the internet, are a good number of recent books, publications and podcasts exploring the dynamics of cults and "undue influence". The welding of power is a central concern of any critical wisdom practitioner in the public sphere, and arguably in the personal sphere as well. Influence and power and trust are all ok when they are ok, otherwise not! When they are not it leads off into a confidence trick, scam or high-demand cultish bubble. Trust is part of courage, faith part of patience. Without trust..paranoia and conspiricism can arise and possess many in lonely screens or groupthink pseudo-communities. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyranny_of_Structurelessness To conclude this message from an ancient New Zealander, congratulations to the wise gatherers (rangatira in Māori), the leadership of XR. You are calling out in the gathering storm to passengers and crew of the Ship of Fools. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_fools ...not to be confused with the idealist Ship of State (Plato) or Leviathon (Hobbes) I see XR as the prefigurememt of the New United Nations Organisation under the Earth Charter en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Charter which almost by definition will be a bottom-up reform of localised regenerative communities ruled from Earth Jurisprudence en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_jurisprudence
Hahahhaha, spoken like a rat clinging to shipwreck debris. I've been sitting right where you are and I understand the defense mechanism at play here. If we do not make change now there will be no one left to revel in these narcissistic ramblings of yours (I too am guilty of the same shit, no shade here). The truth is that every avenue has its flaws, but radical change is necessary if there is to be any sort of civilization left to debate about it.
Im a bit concerned about the human ecology of Covid-19 being favourable to opportunistic cult-like, eco-fascist, ethno-nationalist forces competing with (via fake XR posts) or hijacking XR to nudge cyber-warriors towards the mentality of ethno-nationalist eco-fascism (lets abbreviate it to "ENEF"). ENEF is a current NAZI-like online movement, a sign of the times. It is not an organisation or organised conspiracy. Its hard to nail down internet movements. Think trumpism and QAnon, christo-fascism and the CPC (in China) 5-year plan hijacking the term "ecological civilisation". I'm not a political anthropologist but ENEF seems to display hatred and sectarianism over kindness and solidarity. It seems fascinated by death more than life, ego identity over human flourishing through the challenge of the Anthropocene. In short, ENEF is a worry, and there are flaky vulnerabilities in this world to it. We need to have some critical inquiry into the vulnerability to ENEF of new age spiritual atavism, neoliberal globalism, identity politics and yes, even manifesto anarchism. In the 21st Century we are riding on the back of a tiger, victims of our own success. If ENEF gets a dominant footing in the World, as it has in a number of autocratic eco-fascist nationalist regimes today, then the political space to organise the necessary , urgent and radical decarbonisation necessary to head off the worst case global heating scenarios will be at great risk. I might be wrong, but I think it is too early and self-defeating to throw out the baby of liberal democracy with the bathwater of corporate plutocracy. As Greta says, follow the science. We know what we have to achieve by when in terms of atmospheric physics. Within the XR there must be room for deliberation on the "how" of what must be done. Time is of the essence but we must not panic.Historical experience shows that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Which is not to say we shouldn't include the reactive political theatre of "rebellion" with full-spectrum proactive political organising for a world in which climate justice is radically more than a slogan. It is already replacing neoliberal ideology and institutions, just as raging millenials are replacing us complacent, complicit, ecocidal and largely silent boomer bystanders.
Fantastic talk, you speak very well and very concisely. Refreshing to have things put straight instead of pansying about the subject. Thank you, I only wish that I was your target audience but I do know a lot of people engaging in civil disobedience here in NZ and this brings me hope for change.
I admire Extinction Rebellion's aim, but I think the only rational course is to begin preparing some sort of habitat in which a large group of people can survive an Earth that has become chronically inhospitable. Civil disobedience is laudable, and a moral stand, but time has run out to stop irreversible climate breakdown. What we need is a non-profit foundation that gathers a large amount of funds, then builds a large, domed farm habitat, containing an integrated vegetarian, hydroponic farming system. This domed farm ideally will also contain a well and a resilient renewable energy supply. Over time, it will be extended to enable more people to live in it permanently. It sounds very dystopian sci-fi but after a lot of thought, I think it's the only rational thing to aim at. Civil disobedience won't help us. The tipping points have been passed. The die is cast. We have to find a way for some of us to survive. As far as I know, Roger is an organic farmer. Could he investigate such a project?
@@ph1748 Yes, I think the ultra-rich are probably doing that. They might be ruthless and self-serving but they're not stupid. For more on that idea, I recommend the program 'Alternative Three' and Jim Keith's book on that same subject.

Main advice to the young is do not listen to this absolute bilge. It is a physical impossibility for Co2 to be the main driving force of global warming. In the main it is an effect of global warming not the cause. Atmospheric Co2 accounts 0.04% of the atmosphere. Human contribution is approx. 4% of that. We are entering another cooling period and the "extreme" weather events are a result of a Wild jet stream a symptom of low Solar activity. Arctic sea ice ice now growing exceeding levels set in 8 of the last 10 years according to NASA in 2020. Greenland's main glacier the Jakobshavn has grown for the last 3 years. Greenland ice sheet melting is a cyclical event the last event taking place 1920-1935. Antarctic sea ice and land ice is growing according to Nasa but this does not suit many climatologists who hotly dispute these findings. Previous, small sample of, claims already disproved; 1970 - we will be in an ice age by 2000 1976 - global cooling will cause WW3 by 2000 1986 - In 1986, NASA’s top climate scientist James Hansen predicted the US would heat up 4-6 degrees by 2020 1989 - sea level rises will destroy nations by 2000 1990 - we have 5 - 10 years to save the rain forests 1999 - the Himalayan glaciers will be gone in 10 years 2000 - snow will be a thing of the past 2001 - IPPC predict global warming will cause milder winters and lower snow falls. Unequivocal failure 2004 - Pentagon report warns Bush that climate change will sink European cities under rising seas, Britain in Siberian conditions, war and famine within 20 years. 2007 - global warming will cause fewer hurricanes 2008 - arctic will be ice free by 2013 2012 - global warming will cause more hurricanes 2014 - the science is settled

29:47 Killer FACT : 'The arctic ice, will be melted (in the summer) by 2035, give or take 5 to 10 years' So which is it? 2025, 2035 or 2045? That seems like a very vague 'fact'
The killer fact is that it is all going to melt. It's hard to predict the first year. It's a bit like saying "does it take 16 minutes or 18 minutes or 20 minutes for a particular journey? Ah ha! You don't know!" when the important part is that they are going to be arriving at their destination, even if you don't know how many minutes it takes.
The uncertainty is simply due to trying to extrapolate a trend. If you look at the graph, the most likely date for an arctic-free is ice is more like 2025. The fact is that it's rapidly thinning.
Does it freaking matter? 10 years 20 years is a speck in geologic time. Are you planning on living more than 20 years in the future? If yes, you might want to pay attention.
human beings are not that special. we never have been. who ever said that anyway. we are going to go down, and we deserve to go down. some other God awful creature will probably emerge from the sea millions/billions of years from now the same way humans crawled outta there hundreds of thousands of years ago. circle of life and all that....

As we are currently 100 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday clock, this reality becomes far more likely than not. However, I suspect that when a nuclear exchange happens, it will be between radicalized countries already at war either in the middle east or centralized Asia, and that the result will cause the rest of the world to pause and reflect on what we've done and what we do about it. Only then will enough of the world wake up with an epiphany-like mindset to set aside differences, gather together remaining resources, and implement and mobilize world changing action to get us on the right track. Only through extreme horror and loss has humanity moved itself to action... we've not gotten there yet, but a nuclear bomb exchange would do the trick.
How many people in XR still believes that we humans can survive this climate crisis? As far as I know, we've gone extinct by 2050 but likely earlier and nuclear annihilation might happen within this decade as things may already get really bad. There simply won't be enough oxygen after planktons die nor enough soil and water to produce food. Our habitat is literally on fire and gone when runaway warming starts accelerating within a decade.

ART, indeed you are right for so many people who are handicapped with culturally induced attention deficit. Not just young people. Roger could have done better but he did it, that's more than I can say for myself. Wish he had an editor who could have crafted his 2hr summation of all points salient, even a few sentences outlining the roadmap said at the very beginning. Or a timeline in the podcast notes. I for one recognize the wisdom gems in his talk, his walking the talk, learning from the XR experience without recrimination or blame. I was part of starting XR Hamilton ON CAnada,, and we experienced what he describes as dogmatic horizontalism, avoiding harm, blocking effective action.
I agree with a lot of it but the manner of it, my father missed his Chemo twice because of this action, my father is dead, if anyone blocks me taking my family to the hospital again I will sort you out myself, think I'm joking?!? Try me.
That sucks. I hope he could atleast enjoy his last days, even though he was suffering from cancer. Its sad to hear his chemo was missed (twice!) due to disruption of road services. The massive pollution in the atmosphere causes thousands of cancers every year. We should have blocked the road 10 years earlier, in the hope that your dad might not have gotten cancer in the first place. I understand if you fight back, I would to. I hope you can put the same amount of effort against the system which causes the cancer. Save them from suffering, prevent those from dying horribly.
Sorry for the multiple posts, but I wonder if it’s better to live in a semi arid higher elevation or a lower elevation cooler rainforest. I have the opportunity to either move to Washington state or Colorado. I’m having difficulty deciding where I want to spend my dying days.
Thank you, dear Roger. I am doing what I can but my largest hurdle seems to be the basic contentedness of many family and friends who have sufficient comfort and resources to think they can ride this out. The idea that there could be abrupt planetary disruption remains an alien thought. Every other day I post a scientific fact in an artistic frame to raise awareness and compassion.....but where it lands?

@@robtall5537 Its not his fault at all. My advice to young people: Get rid of capitalism. Most all of humanities problems would go away in a heartbeat, if we didnt have capitalism giving all the power to these ass-sitter, power-hungry rich elite bastards. This isnt a issue of human nature at all; when looking at the Science, this is capitalist nature. They are addicted to power, and will stop at nothing until the demise of the entire planet. Money is their weapon, and capitalism is their perceived world, not ours.

Roger, I live in Trump country in the Western US. We’ve been losing first our home insurance because of more frequent fires. The forests are still thick, though over three billion trees have died in Western North America over the last twenty years. Much of our forest has crossed a tipping point and what comes next will be different. Rain and snow patterns have changed dramatically. Loss of the boreal forest, permafrost and the AMOC, Greenland ice, and blue ocean summers in the Arctic will make most of North America south of Canada uninhabitable, probably in the next seventy years. Things are quickly getting interesting.
I find it hard to believe this channel only has 67k subs. I'm thinking it is subject to YT's "random" unsubscribing that many other channels and subscribers report.

Advice to all people
Kevin Hester. Guy McPherson. Sam Carana.
Great lecture. But I am afraid attempt at civil disobedience is futile. Why? Because vast majority of people are blissfully unaware of oncoming catastrophe and don't care to learn about it either. All they can see is what's right in front of them, blissful comfort in mass consumerism and any radical changes will bring about inconveniences and deprivation which they don't want. There is no significant population invested in radically transforming the system, and therefore any attempt at radical transformation of society cannot succeed.
It's a sad fact. Especially with today's materialism. 9 out of 10 would never have the patience to sit down and listen to the facts because of Instagram or Facebook or any other distractions.

Hey! Got a question, Mr. Hallam said the total greenhouse gasses It’s around 500ppm, but 450ppm might be a tipping point? Trying to understand the difference between the two. Am very new to this. Can someone help with an answer please?
Total greenhouse gases (GHGs) is primarily carbon (~420ppm now) and also includes methane, nitric oxides, water vapor, F-gases, ground-level ozone, and other gases. This makes it higher, around 500ppm. We also call this CO2e (equivalent. For example, methane causes 7-80x more warming than carbon does, but it only lasts around 12 years, 100 at most. Carbon lasts thousands).
CO2 is the primarily driver so the tipping point he referred to is for carbon only.
The 560ppm CO2e he mentioned seems to be where we’ll see 1.5-4.5°C of warming (I’d guess +3) according to NOAA. Roger said we’d “lock in” 5°C of warming with that. Keep in mind the time scale matters: 10 vs 30 vs 100 years. Even with no new GHGs released, temps would continue to rise (for at least 40 years. The climate system “lags” behind).
I’m late but I hope that helps.

Hallam heading for the political wilderness and obscurity. Young people should treat this confused contradictory, superficial musing of generalisations that mean everything and nothing with the contempt it deserves.
Hallam has fallen victim to his own political history where nothing has changed precisely because he's been leading you all down a dead end road, and now he's finally lost the plot all together in his abject despair.
Time is certainly running out but there is only one road to go down . To come together with the working class that is now rebelling across the globe and take political and economic power for itself. End the capitalist system ...we need international socialism. We need science to dictate not profit !!
The international working class want cars, upward mobility, personal agency, gas cookers and leasur time. Only western liberals want internation socialism.
Wisdom says it is not "either or" , it's "both-and". Eg. Its not either engaging with the structures of the establishment, or creating alternative, human-scale institutions - especially if encouraging groupthink tribalism with the symbols of anarchy and unnessesarily "scaring the horses". Somehow we we need assemblies with enough formal stuctures to interact skillfully with city hall to create some concessions, for example sustainable shelters and tenancies, which do ease the precariat predicament and creates *political space* for concerted organising. A dance between strategic, proactive campaigns, such as social housing and caring for food/watersheds. And relatively spontaneous reactive acts of NVDA to DElegitimise damaging BAU (business-as-usual).
The *maintenance* of group wellbeing and functioning is as important as what campaigns *do*. This can only be achieved with a degree of traditional democratic *stucture*, along with all the connective tissue of a culture of kindness and respect. These democratic structures can still be messy in liberal practice. They contrast with personality cults favouring a privileged few, or even a privileged majority!
Such is life among us humans. The only issue for anarchistic groups is whether these informal structures are formalised enought to assure a decent degree of transparency and accountability. In other words, anarchists and conservatives are stronger in mutually respectful relationship, listening to and learning from ome another. It's a dance between heart and head, each with its risk of going astray or conceit. Wisdom is both, resilient enough to keep returning to balance.
C'est la vie/that's
life. That's wisdom.
Homework for Anarchy 101: read "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" the short essay by Jo Freeman, 1970. Thinking rebels should be acquainted with this debate. Useful too, in the tribalising and confirmation-bias engines of the internet, are a good number of recent books, publications and podcasts exploring the dynamics of cults and "undue influence". The welding of power is a central concern of any critical wisdom practitioner in the public sphere, and arguably in the personal sphere as well. Influence and power and trust are all ok when they are ok, otherwise not! When they are not it leads off into a confidence trick, scam or high-demand cultish bubble.
Trust is part of courage, faith part of patience. Without trust..paranoia and conspiricism can arise and possess many in lonely screens or groupthink pseudo-communities.

Hahahhaha, spoken like a rat clinging to shipwreck debris. I've been sitting right where you are and I understand the defense mechanism at play here. If we do not make change now there will be no one left to revel in these narcissistic ramblings of yours (I too am guilty of the same shit, no shade here). The truth is that every avenue has its flaws, but radical change is necessary if there is to be any sort of civilization left to debate about it.
Im a bit concerned about the human ecology of Covid-19 being favourable to opportunistic cult-like, eco-fascist, ethno-nationalist forces competing with (via fake XR posts) or hijacking XR to nudge cyber-warriors towards the mentality of ethno-nationalist eco-fascism (lets abbreviate it to "ENEF"). ENEF is a current NAZI-like online movement, a sign of the times. It is not an organisation or organised conspiracy. Its hard to nail down internet movements. Think trumpism and QAnon, christo-fascism and the CPC (in China) 5-year plan hijacking the term "ecological civilisation".
I'm not a political anthropologist but ENEF seems to display hatred and sectarianism over kindness and solidarity. It seems fascinated by death more than life, ego identity over human flourishing through the challenge of the Anthropocene.
In short, ENEF is a worry, and there are flaky vulnerabilities in this world to it. We need to have some critical inquiry into the vulnerability to ENEF of new age spiritual atavism, neoliberal globalism, identity politics and yes, even manifesto anarchism.
In the 21st Century we are riding on the back of a tiger, victims of our own success. If ENEF gets a dominant footing in the World, as it has in a number of autocratic eco-fascist nationalist regimes today, then the political space to organise the necessary , urgent and radical decarbonisation necessary to head off the worst case global heating scenarios will be at great risk. I might be wrong, but I think it is too early and self-defeating to throw out the baby of liberal democracy with the bathwater of corporate plutocracy.
As Greta says, follow the science. We know what we have to achieve by when in terms of atmospheric physics. Within the XR there must be room for deliberation on the "how" of what must be done. Time is of the essence but we must not panic.Historical experience shows that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". Which is not to say we shouldn't include the reactive political theatre of "rebellion" with full-spectrum proactive political organising for a world in which climate justice is radically more than a slogan. It
is already replacing neoliberal ideology and institutions, just as raging millenials are replacing us complacent, complicit, ecocidal and largely silent boomer bystanders.
Fantastic talk, you speak very well and very concisely. Refreshing to have things put straight instead of pansying about the subject. Thank you, I only wish that I was your target audience but I do know a lot of people engaging in civil disobedience here in NZ and this brings me hope for change.
I admire Extinction Rebellion's aim, but I think the only rational course is to begin preparing some sort of habitat in which a large group of people can survive an Earth that has become chronically inhospitable. Civil disobedience is laudable, and a moral stand, but time has run out to stop irreversible climate breakdown. What we need is a non-profit foundation that gathers a large amount of funds, then builds a large, domed farm habitat, containing an integrated vegetarian, hydroponic farming system. This domed farm ideally will also contain a well and a resilient renewable energy supply. Over time, it will be extended to enable more people to live in it permanently. It sounds very dystopian sci-fi but after a lot of thought, I think it's the only rational thing to aim at. Civil disobedience won't help us. The tipping points have been passed. The die is cast. We have to find a way for some of us to survive. As far as I know, Roger is an organic farmer. Could he investigate such a project?
@@ph1748 Yes, I think the ultra-rich are probably doing that. They might be ruthless and self-serving but they're not stupid. For more on that idea, I recommend the program 'Alternative Three' and Jim Keith's book on that same subject.

Science friction
Main advice to the young is do not listen to this absolute bilge. It is a physical impossibility for Co2 to be the main driving force of global warming. In the main it is an effect of global warming not the cause. Atmospheric Co2 accounts 0.04% of the atmosphere. Human contribution is approx. 4% of that. We are entering another cooling period and the "extreme" weather events are a result of a Wild jet stream a symptom of low Solar activity. Arctic sea ice ice now growing exceeding levels set in 8 of the last 10 years according to NASA in 2020. Greenland's main glacier the Jakobshavn has grown for the last 3 years. Greenland ice sheet melting is a cyclical event the last event taking place 1920-1935. Antarctic sea ice and land ice is growing according to Nasa but this does not suit many climatologists who hotly dispute these findings.
Previous, small sample of, claims already disproved;
1970 - we will be in an ice age by 2000
1976 - global cooling will cause WW3 by 2000
1986 - In 1986, NASA’s top climate scientist James Hansen predicted the US would heat up 4-6 degrees by 2020
1989 - sea level rises will destroy nations by 2000
1990 - we have 5 - 10 years to save the rain forests
1999 - the Himalayan glaciers will be gone in 10 years
2000 - snow will be a thing of the past
2001 - IPPC predict global warming will cause milder winters and lower snow falls. Unequivocal failure
2004 - Pentagon report warns Bush that climate change will sink European cities under rising seas, Britain in Siberian conditions, war and famine within 20 years.
2007 - global warming will cause fewer hurricanes
2008 - arctic will be ice free by 2013
2012 - global warming will cause more hurricanes
2014 - the science is settled

The killer fact is that it is all going to melt. It's hard to predict the first year.

when the important part is that they are going to be arriving at their destination, even if you don't know how many minutes it takes.
The uncertainty is simply due to trying to extrapolate a trend. If you look at the graph, the most likely date for an arctic-free is ice is more like 2025. The fact is that it's rapidly thinning.

12:00 min in. Cold hard truths about power and society. He has gone to jail and starved for his truth as he sees it from his personal experience and the history of individuals like Gandhi and Martin Luther king.
Thanks to you folks for offering another paradigm we were there in the late sixties but the message got lost in selfishness and Ego.
Selfishness is a virtue. What good for me is good for the human race.
@@kayakMike1000 no
@@kayakMike1000 Self awareness is a virtue. What's good for you may be catastrophic for others. We need to see past ourselves and understand our impact on others...
Thank you for your humility and your strength of calmly stating Truth...This is a true gift to anyone who can grasp ....thank you
This is a cult
@@sidsnot6952 So true. No morals, no integrity. Spreading trauma. Using & abusing our young people to become useful idiots in service to the billionairres
I'm radical and have been an activist for many years. I struggle at this point in my life - with a daughter and aging parents to care for and bills to pay - between the direct action that my morality demands of me and the risk of consequences that could impare my ability to fulfill the responsibilities that I have to others. It's something that I'm working through, maybe some of you can relate.
I was in a similar situation and I felt really stuck with the protests and actions calling me from afar. Then someone asked if I was on a bit of land, could I grow some food to feed people? And so that's what I'm focused on now, planting a food forest and weather-extreme-proofing the garden as much as possible. Young people in the fight are going to need energy and good nutrition to hold up. The kind of nutrition the fossil fools will never provide with their short-term fuckery of the land for processed-food profit and obesity generation. All that rant aside, a garden just helps and does so in a lot of ways. Best of luck to you R^4!
I think almost any adult can relate to some of what you said. It's profoundly vague and generic.
It’s ok- you get to decide when enough is enough. Least you tried. The next 20 year old who does though they can’t stop. Because it’s already to real. I’m glad I’m 50..

Many thanks Roger - one chime: You note that 'Radical left' is used in some different ways...so i think we have to then be wary of identifying it as unhelpful...we have to be wary in general of psychologically putting people into boxes. My experience is that there is enormous support - by which i also mean activity, in what can be called the radical left for capturing the state and organising in the ways that you suggest. All love.
Agreed. These fake ''leftists'' that are just liberals need to get away from our movement because they are ruining it. They want idpol, we want a dictatorship of the proletariat.
i wouldn't say any one has to 'get away' - i would say 'get with the programme'
Im lost for words to share , ive always seen our future my nightmares as a teen shocked my grandmother , im 53 and grew up in the shadow of previous wars and nuclear weapons . I should burn the boat and become a permanent thorn in the side of our collective delusion , thanks mate from Australia
I'm 54. Just like you, I knew from a young age we were in trouble. That's why I never had kids. I think there were always voices in the background warning where the planet was headed. Just look at "Limits to Growth". That was 1972

Everybody should just stop breeding to avoid the unnecessary suffering. Human overpopulation is the cause for all these problems. You'd have to be totally selfish and egocentric to voluntarily bring new human beings into this dying world.
🎩 s off to u Roger.. ❤️ out of all the truth tellers of our predicament ur about solutions 🙏
I'm like 33, so I might not be 'the young people'. Thank you for a summary of the situation tho. I'll try regardless.
Well done 😊
I am 30 and I refer myself as the young people. In 20 years we will be 50. Thats still young, that means we are going to face ourselves many of the huge consequences, and that means we won't be growing old with our grand children around eating during Sunday. We won''t be walking side by side with our lover in a park, we are going to be fighting and hoping noone of our circle gets killed or rape either by the fascist military force or by the natural disasters
Brilliant. Totally nailed so much of where we are standing right now.
This is. Cult

He is a climate fascist that wants to make your lifestyle illegal.
@@kayakMike1000 really because my lifestyle is off grid solar powered growing my own food in my garden and canning it the same way my family has for over a century on this same small farm. It seems maybe you have my lifestyle confused with your own.
@@DanA-nl5uo you are not as disconnected as you think. For example, you could not have bought those solar panels or batteries without the rest of civilization. Your solar panels will probably work out ok for another 10 years or so, maybe longer if you're ok with reduced production. But, you're also online, so you're not completely off grid, you use goods and services that are available from western civilization. Its funny how you make yourself look like a liar.
@@DanA-nl5uo we also know you have a truck.
What money do you live on?
You've left out the threat of complete nuclear annihilation before an extinction event reaches its logical conclusion.
If that bothers you, you better get under the kitchen table now and don't forget the paper bag.
As we are currently 100 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday clock, this reality becomes far more likely than not. However, I suspect that when a nuclear exchange happens, it will be between radicalized countries already at war either in the middle east or centralized Asia, and that the result will cause the rest of the world to pause and reflect on what we've done and what we do about it. Only then will enough of the world wake up with an epiphany-like mindset to set aside differences, gather together remaining resources, and implement and mobilize world changing action to get us on the right track. Only through extreme horror and loss has humanity moved itself to action... we've not gotten there yet, but a nuclear bomb exchange would do the trick.
10 minutes in and he mentions nuclear annihilation.
At this point, that would be the merciful option.
How many people in XR still believes that we humans can survive this climate crisis?
As far as I know, we've gone extinct by 2050 but likely earlier and nuclear annihilation might happen within this decade as things may already get really bad.
There simply won't be enough oxygen after planktons die nor enough soil and water to produce food. Our habitat is literally on fire and gone when runaway warming starts accelerating within a decade.
like the video so the algorithm picks it up and it goes viral! comment etc
30:40 Weather blocking is happening right now 6/27/21. There is an Omega Block over the Pacific Northwest causing multiple days of extreme heat. The same blocked jetstream is causing flooding through the middle of the US.
That happens all the time, plus it's summertime, and there's lots of down-slope heating going on. Down under, it's winter, and there's record cold happening. It's all natural.
@@climatecraze 🤣🤣🤣 GTFOH
Nope.,. The fires in Siberia, here in Western North America, and Europe are not normal. Whole towns and forests are burning each summer. The region of California which supplies a quarter of America’s fruits and vegetables is rapidly running out of water.
I obsessively read into these reports and watch all sorts of media revolving around these hard truths. But this really fucked me up. I don’t really know what to say. I hope he’s wrong. But I know he’s not
Thank you. So much wisdom and sound advise here. Especially the bit about hope. And non-hierarchical structure. Listen on repeat.
"Listen on repeat"... appropriately cultish behaviour
The world will recover and be better off without humans. In the end, we destroyed ourselves and eachother. Let's at least give the world a chance without us. (We've done enough damage).
Civil disobedience is hard to do when you end up homeless and hungry. You could try fentanyl, if you want to do some civil disobedience.
Thank you Sir, from Brazil. We have to face Truth.

What’s with the rape part? I get the other stuff but with all going on, why rape?
Thank you for saying what so many people don't even want to think about. And for presenting it in terms of action people can take.
If you want young people to watch this, you need to get to the point!
ART, indeed you are right for so many people who are handicapped with culturally induced attention deficit. Not just young people. Roger could have done better but he did it, that's more than I can say for myself. Wish he had an editor who could have crafted his 2hr summation of all points salient, even a few sentences outlining the roadmap said at the very beginning. Or a timeline in the podcast notes. I for one recognize the wisdom gems in his talk, his walking the talk, learning from the XR experience without recrimination or blame. I was part of starting XR Hamilton ON CAnada,, and we experienced what he describes as dogmatic horizontalism, avoiding harm, blocking effective action.
Yes he spends too much time at start saying we don't have to watch it.
I agree with a lot of it but the manner of it, my father missed his Chemo twice because of this action, my father is dead, if anyone blocks me taking my family to the hospital again I will sort you out myself, think I'm joking?!? Try me.
That sucks. I hope he could atleast enjoy his last days, even though he was suffering from cancer. Its sad to hear his chemo was missed (twice!) due to disruption of road services.
The massive pollution in the atmosphere causes thousands of cancers every year. We should have blocked the road 10 years earlier, in the hope that your dad might not have gotten cancer in the first place.
I understand if you fight back, I would to. I hope you can put the same amount of effort against the system which causes the cancer.
Save them from suffering, prevent those from dying horribly.
Sorry for the multiple posts, but I wonder if it’s better to live in a semi arid higher elevation or a lower elevation cooler rainforest. I have the opportunity to either move to Washington state or Colorado. I’m having difficulty deciding where I want to spend my dying days.
Stay put, mate. Look at the data. Don't listen to clowns.
Thank you, dear Roger. I am doing what I can but my largest hurdle seems to be the basic contentedness of many family and friends who have sufficient comfort and resources to think they can ride this out. The idea that there could be abrupt planetary disruption remains an alien thought. Every other day I post a scientific fact in an artistic frame to raise awareness and compassion.....but where it lands?
Just went through the heat dome In b.c Canada.....700+ coroner report died from it.....let me tell you all its going to happen faster than you say......it's real and the arctic has maybe 3-5 years then earth becomes hell for everyone! screw the 2 degrees b.s. were going well beyond that soon but we won't be here to yak yak and more yak about it. Live every day like its your last.
