  • Gotta love how the answer is ( All of us need to change) not the laws allowing emissions from large corporations... Or how about Deciding not to live on the coast or Tornado Alley... Can't expect to get insurance coverage.. Or get federal aid because you chose to live in a High risk area... I can't walk into traffic then sue whoever hits me...
  • So.. Is it okay if I move to Mexico and demand the local government provides English speaking resources? C'mon people.... You want our benefits you can at least try to learn the local dialect...
  • Go figure, paying people a living wage cuts your profits.. Too bad... Might have to skip 1 of your 15 vacations this year... Poor baby...
  • I had never heard of "Heat Officers" before, an actual city position. This just tells me more about our Finale. Sorry, so sorry but we waited to long, because if it really is CO2 that is causing the warming, its to late for us because the CO2 that is in the atmosphere cannot be reduced for DECADES, its there permanently as far as todays population is concerned. CO2 does not dissipate for at least 30 years,,,and we are putting much more in the air now than we ever had.
  • I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $15,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD ❤️

    First, we need a Presidential administration that will actually do something about the problem.

    Something else that's never talked about is the Earth is getting over populated..

    I wouldn't want to hear anything about the public having to cut back on electricity or water use until all casinos, amusement parks, , water parks, and the many other unnecessary major users of both, are shut down.

    Vote for Joe, not the Psycho, so we can continue to work on addressing climate change.

    As a biologist, I believe this is how it's going to go down: We will have a global foodshortage by the end of the year, the civilization will collapse in 2 to 3 years (net zero is reached;)), followed by a long time of turmoil and fight for surival, humans will radiate into multiple new human subspecies, because selection pressure is really high. However, I'm sorry to tell you there is no guarantee, humans will survive at all. There are many possible scenarios
  • I was a Broward Mayor and the leader of an Environmental group for 10 years . I was invited to be a member of one of the first Resilience Comm in Broward made up of about 15 PHDS and a few politicians mainly concerned about Port Everglades most of these PHDS were fairly young even though they were some of the best from the State,County and Federal govt! ! I had probably 40 years experience in Env issues in Broward . I! Our family came to Broward in the 50"s and I was the only member to see the Env Impacts over this period ! I have a wall full of awards but althogh we saved thousands of acres o coastalf wetlands from being turned into condos ,only the lower land values at the time allowed this to happen ! Unless some genius comes up with a form of Geoengineering on a huge scale I would have tp place myself in the large DOOMER camp of scientists and our current candidates for President is NOT encouraging !

    We're in a predicament. There is no solution. Only an outcome.
