This is just how unfair climate change is

We're all living through the climate crisis. But we're not all in it together. So what exactly does climate change have to do with social injustice? And how can we fix it? This is climate justice explained.
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What can we do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

    The historic North-South divide is significant. But then within countries there are equally significant divisions of responsibility. There is also corporate-societal responsibility, which many would point to a sectoral delineation (energy, production, agriculture, transportation, shipping). Implicated with the relative poverty v wealth, is ownership as shareholders have profited from GHG. I personally think the most powerful claim of injustice is generational. This unforgivable harm was done largely in the global North, by a prosperous middle class and wealthy elite, who were members of a single generation. They now hold nearly all of the power, wealth, assets and opportunities. This is the largest demographic cohort in history, and has determined the outcome of elections since ww2. Anyone who challenges them is quickly undermined. Imminently they are retiring, so the financial markets are being artificially inflated causing the propagation of further emissions to preserve and grow the savings of one generation. They will continue to delay a transformation of the global economy away from carbon while they spend money and enjoy the final decades of a liveable planet. They will expect everyone else to work on their behalf, pushing the biosphere beyond repair. Then they will die, having consumed 10 thousand years of energy and resources, taking no responsibility, and leaving chaos, death and destruction behind.

    Ironically it’s the white guy whose forefathers have the highest contribution towards climate change who is denying it. There is nothing ironic about that actually. It’s makes sense. First plunder the whole world of its culture and resources through colonialism and then export the I’ll effect of capitalism to global south. Just look at per capita consumption numbers and you will see it for yourself. Yes America won’t get effected much - they will probably have to deal with more bites from flies. But the other world with a per capita consumption of way less will get ruined in the process. Don’t be animals - atleast acknowledge what you have done. First steps towards fixing it.

    The change of climate environment is a long historical accumulation process, in which it is undeniable that developed countries and developing countries play different roles, because the developed countries have indeed emitted far more carbon than the developing countries in history, and also have relatively stronger capital and technology investment capacity. Therefore, although the current consensus of the international community is to "reduce carbon emissions and protect the ecological environment", the debate on the distribution of carbon emissions has never stopped, because it means that a country can be accepted by the international community of development rights.

    Can we talk about how farms use why to much water. Theres a study at a college in Arizona were they looked at an average 1 acer plot of corn. This corn took 4 months to finish and in all it used 600,000 gallons of water. This study used the same kind of corn and planted watered and fertilized it differently. This corn took 4 months as well but used 80,000 gallons of water in all. 30,000 gallons of that water was rain water that was collected off the school that year water table ph whent up thats good salts in water also went down. They ran this tast again for the second year but they didn't till it so water was less but they used 50,000 gallons of water that year they collected 9,000 gallons that year aka lest year so it was a drought. Oh I should mention they are in Arizona and farmed in the summer to get results average temperature was 95 at night to 115 at day.

    0:27 I see the bundling of such disparate concerns as being as harmful as the bundling of concerns such as fossil fuel interests with religion, immigration and anti-abortion. It is this kind of political bundling that is truly the sickness in politics. On the one hand they might garner more support for a single topic by association, on the other hand they might garner opposition to a political concern simply yet again by association. And this is not how it should be. A conservative religious person for example should not be predisposed to oppose climate justice simply because the opposition party has it bundled with other political concerns they feel threaten their way of life. Nor to support the the unchecked devastation of the global environment by the fossil fuel industry simply because they have bundled their interests with that of such individuals. Make no mistake - Human induced climate is a test for the entire human race. It won't matter who you are, who you love, who you worship, how you make your money, how much money you make, or any of that if we don't meet our climate goals this century. We will all suffer alike. I try to remain moderate, and yet I believe climate justice to be a vital component for an effective response to climate change, which I see as a ultimate priority, and should otherwise, in theory, enjoy widespread support purely on a reasonable moral basis. Also the figures are somewhat misleading. In 2017 North America's cumulative historic emissions was 29% of the global cumulative emissions. Europe's was 33%. Asia's was 29%. South America, Africa and Oceania have indeed emitted a very small portion altogether. It's just that the 8% figure mentioned for Asia seems to ignore several very large emitters. Among which of course is China. And what's more... Russia is generally included for figures involving Europe. This while Russia is responsible for 6% of cumulative emissions, and is predominantly in Asia. Include Russia in Asian emissions and suddenly Europe is responsible for 27%, and Asia a whopping 35%. Then, while North American and European emissions are falling; China has already become the largest yearly emitter. And... Around early 2030-2040 China will become the largest historic emitter of all countries. If trends continue, then eventually it will end up being the largest historic emitter by a very, very large margin. Meaning of course that in the end, when the worst of the effects make themselves felt - China will be mostly responsible for anthropogenic climate change. Unequivocally... All that said. There seems to be some political will for climate justice in the West, but on the other hand the sentiment from China seems to rather push the narrative that they should be beneficiaries of climate justice. Which is preposterous. The discussion is important. However the discussion needs to be kept objective. Speaking to bias will not serve to facilitate useful solutions.

    The problem about talking about justice and fairness is that there is an assumption that those who are benefiting/committing the injustices care. They don't. So the people that watch videos like this get indignant and annoyed at the injustice of it all... But because we aren't annoyed enough to actually do anything about it, we just go with the flow, and nothing really changes. People say technology is a big part of the problem but it is also the only possible solution. The other (logical) possibility is that people starting caring enough about something apart from themselves. And that is pure fantasy.

Rather than changing ourselves, we are choosing to change nature. And why should that be acceptable? We cannot harm others, commit crimes indiscriminately, or sabotage critical systems that have vast secondary consequences. At this point, it doesn’t matter how they feel or think, just what they do. We must shift from persuasion to coercion. Fossil fuels should be banned, and engaging in carbon producing activities punished. The life on the planet should not be threatened with extinction so some uncaring people can go shopping.

    Technology was different back then. We can't blame America and Europe for co2 if they didn't have alternative technology. India and China, like the rest of the world, have more viable alternative technology today such as wind and solar. The developed countries are moving away from carbon based energy faster than the developing countries. Policies and corruption is also a major issue in shit hole countries as well. I live in South Africa, and here for example, governments make huge money from coal through taxes and under the table bribes to use certain coal companies. We hardly have electricity because the power utility (which is 99% state owned) is in financial ruin and cannot keep the lights on. 4 new coal power planets were built in the last 15 years and billions were stolen. If you as an individual household or business want to install solar panels, government will tax you and impose penalties because they'll lose revenue that they can't use to keep the lights on or steal. The poor black people get electricity completely free while the white people have experienced a rise in cost of electricity by 800% in the last 20 years, that's 40% per year. What incentives does the poor black have to conserve this carbon based electricity?

    Living in a city is actually much more sustainable than living in the countryside. Think about it, row houses and apartments need a lot less energy to keep warm or cool compared to stand alone houses, because they tend to be smaller and they share walls. Cities are much more densely populated which means you need less space to house the same amount of people, leaving more space for nature. And because of that density cars are also much less necessary than outside a city. Living in a city means I can simply walk, cycle or take public transport to go to work and to run errands

    The argument is quite flawed. Sure the "rich" countries have emitted a lot mainly due to large scale coal use. But this energy was what drove the technological innovation. This energy is what developed the renewable energy sector, medicine, industry. All those things come from the west, and are being used by the poorer countries. So while there's a GHG imbalance one way, there are plenty of imbalances in the other direction. In this light talking about reparations is just absurd

    D Global Warming Will End---God's Way The Bible tells us that "the Former of the earth and the Maker of it ...did not create it simply for nothing." (Isaiah 45:18) The Bible also says: "The earth endures forever." Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible. Yes, God will not allow the earth to be rendered uninhabitable. Rather, he will intervene in human affairs and bring an end to failed human rule and those who have no regard for the earth. At the same time, he will preserve alive all who lead morally upright lives and sincerely want to please him. Says Proverbs 2:21, 22; "The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."

    And just like too drinking too much water or eating too much salt can kill you, "excess" CO2 in the atmosphere can be deadly. That's because our agriculture (and hence food security) was developed over an 11,000-year period of relative global climate stability (with regional blips), which we are now destabilizing. And the excess CO2 causing this climate breakdown was safely sequestered away 250 million years ago. The fossil fuel genie we let out of the bottle is not a sweet, nice, kind, friendly genie. We didn't know that when we unleashed the Industrial Revolution, but we sure as heck know it now.

Heck, the global south suffers from climate change worse than the global north because of eco fascism. You create a "safe place" for you and fuck everyone else cuz hey atleast you're trying When we say save the Earth, we need to view it on not only an environmental level but a social one.

    Every type of qualified "justice" (social, racial, climate) needs that qualifier because it breaks from the core individual responsibility element of actual justice and assigns collective guilt. With actual justice, you are held responsible for the crimes you have personally committed and are punished accordingly. With qualified "justice" you are held responsible for things someone else in the same arbitrary group as you did and you are punished simply for belonging to that group (in the eyes of the accuser). Someone with the same skin color as you committed a crime? Well we're going to punish you because you're in their group. That's racial justice. That's social justice. Someone in your country polluted in the past? We're going to take your money today. That's climate justice.
