such a humanist and sensible approach. Why can't we just talk about things and leave our opinions (preferences, likes and dislikes, out of the picture) so we get a clearer picture? Great talk and call to action.
Great idea Paul re military budget. Here is another idea: we stop producing new cars and trucks and just make do with what we have, recycle and repair and thats it. Peace!
Roger points out that revolutionary change is all about forming coalitions. IMHO an islamistic organisation like the Gaza Hamas is not a suitable partner in that effort. Political Islamists foremost aim at eradicating the state Israel, at establishing a religious autocracy, are anti-democratic, homophobic, misogynic. And they are happy to sell oil and gas as soon as they achieve political power. So choose your coalitions wisely.
40 years ago Carl Sagan spoke to congress about climate change. Sadly, few know or remember what he said then. Basically, the developed Western nations can take all kinds of measures to reduce production of greenhouse gases, but - and this was a key point - if China (and India) do not also take these measures it will all be in vain. Both of those countries are heavily investing in coal plants. These channels are wasting their time and ours by preaching to the converted. Go to China and India and preach this to them. Good luck with that.
Thank you Andy, you rock!
Shared vehicles work during the week, but not for those who travel on the weekends or holidays. People are not going to want to become dependent on a company for all travel. Vehicles will also become a disease transmission vector.
The earth cleanses itself periodically. Who's crying over the dinosaurs gone extinct. The next cleansing will be the same. Who'll be crying over our extinction a few million years from now. Live while you can and try and experience some form of joy today. And for God's sake. Get off the Antidepressants and learn to smile... 😊❤
I watched it form weeks ago !! Last year was brutal ! 50c in sone parts of india
What about the impact of manufacturing wars and bombs 💣 ?
During the same 40 years, the NY Times has been part of the problem. Today it is common place to blame the fossil fuel lobby, the oiligarchs "who knew about global warming while spending money to gaslight the public". -- But, you know, the NY Times also received a lot of their advertising money! They published the gaslighting denialist commentaires, sometimes in a way that it made difficult for the reader to see it was paid content, ADVERTISING and not a genuine journalist opinion column.-- And Andrew Revkin has been happy with his role of the "good cop" in this world of capitalist cynicism. -- "Why not another Marshall Plan effort to save the climate". -- Omg. This is what Al Gore proposed to do back in 1992. ...
The attraction of dictators and nihilism is a by product of helplessness IMO
The 50 primary global corporations responsible for the bulk of global warming need to be stopped. Stock holders be damned.
You need more mainstream celebrities to directly communicate your message
🔭📡🛰️ Need New Tech to measure water heavy atmosphere to see if pre emptively we can channel these currents so we dont have such punishing rains! 🕵️👼⚡💦💨
Biden boomer boyscouts consuming their dose of hopium ... amazing
Glad to be an older person...once I'm dead I won't feel a thing...lol...
We are never "going to put emissions into decline"...the kids will just have to get used to the changes, oh, well...
I love that song at the end !
Emissions won't decline until the population does.
Flashback 30 years ago when we were all innocent.
Bible prophecy is Happening, for real ! 💝💒
GAT (Global Average temperature) represents Ocean Surface Temperature. Land Areas warm by 2X - 4X in the Summer. That is why India, Thailand and many parts of S E Asia are seeing 10'c higher Temperatures. Texas is about to set its Temperature Record. Texas has already had Floods, Burns, Sewer Spills, Power Outages and now comes the Heat Dome.
ta muchly!
Don’t tell me Guy was actually right!
A “heavy rain storm” might be a “disaster” for the animals there.
I am not enjoying the storms this year. I live in Texas north of Dallas. Two weeks ago a storm blew a tree on my house. Last week a storm blew a tree on my fence as well as knocking down three power poles between my house and the electricity cause a 23 hour power outage. Today a storm blew my front yard tree over on top of my truck. It is death but a thousand cuts from the fast moving and powerful storms. I cant afford to have a personal disaster every week.
Peter, Paul and Regina. In tune with what is real. Florida has gotten real bad. I am reversing out of here soon in retirement. Heat, homelessnes and overdevelopment. Really bad.
Seemed like a MSM climate change minimizer.
Aint gonna happen
I get dreadfully ill at all of the talk and no real action about climate catastrophe. Why don't people admit that they are too selfish to ever actually Cut Down on usage which is the majority of the solution. I changed my ways a long time ago. The talk-I listen for a few minutes and turn the "channel".

This talk is devoid of an analysis of capitalism. This system is totally incapable of solving the climate crisis and opening up new fronts such as deep sea mining will only serve overproduction and sterilize this planet further.
Break the fossil fuel grip on transport and that will release money from military expenditure, as most wars are a resource grab, eg Israeli has issued 12 oil exploration permits in the Gaza
I followed his blog compulsively
I find climate change very depressing. Day after day, the weather is horrible and getting worse.
Great discussion 👏 Love the musical ending!
Thank-you
Paul comes in and keeps pushing SRM. What everyone needs to discuss is how SRM can be weaponized, because it can be. SRM proponents do not appear to want to discuss how serious the downsides can be, and why some nations may be for a warmer climate, and those nations who are willing to go to war to stop warming.
🎉SRM: at least four definitions of this abbreviation. What does SRM mean in this context?

By "those nations who are willing to go to war to stop warming" I do not know what you mean, but I presume that might be China and India, versus global North, right?

Revkin saying there is no evidence that all the extraordinary tornadic activity has a climate change connection is on wobbly ground. What reporters/scientists have said this? As a climate change educator of 20 years that statement sounds very unlikely.
People don't trust mainstream media anymore. I'm more interested in what independent minds have to say. Climate change seems to be accelerating it doesn't help having the powers that be exploit that for their own personal gain.
Jem Bendell and DeepAdaptation have the right idea. They recognize that we are at the top of the roller coaster, the wheels are starting to come off, there is no chance of an effective mitigation or solution being implemented given our current corrupt governance structures, and so the wisest approach is to prepare for the crash and the chaos and to take action to minimize the pain as much as possible by building independent interdependent resilient communities as decoupled from TheMachine as possible
The ozone hole was and remains an excellent example of Science and government and corporate industry working together on a global scale to effect an effective mitigation if not outright solution. This was made possible by the fact that there was no BIG CFC with legions of lobbyists seeking to contaminate governance structures and public discourse with their duplicitous dishonesty. The comments that managing excess CO2 atmospheric CO2 was more complex is true in essence but not in detail. Nobody in government structures or in corporate industry gives a shit about the cab driver in brooklyn. The primary confounding disrupting debilitating disempowering factor is Big Oil the PetroRacket, which has so completely captured subverted governance structures polluted public discourse that any potential movement toward the solution has been rendered impossible. Exxon scientists first discovered and published projections on the mass of emissions of CO2 would have on climate systems. That was quickly silenced suppressed hushed up and became the Genesis of a truly psychosociopathic denialist Scion to ensure that no competent intelligence public discourse on climate disruption would be allowed to the extent that they could help it. Why the hell were Petro corporations allowed to attend any of the cops? They are essentially the enemy of climate conferences and yet we're allowed to attend and disrupt an undermine and cripple the proceedings. The PetroRacket and governance structures willfully and deliberately pushed past Silent Spring past Small Is Beautiful past Limits to Growth and now well into Overshoot and a massive existential predicament and MetaCrisis. The elephants need to be kicked out of the room and leashed up. They've had a good long run. They've all made massive fortunes. They may now be permitted to continue for the sake of obtaining supplies of petroleum for essential applications.
Awesome. There is no dearth of information on Overshoot. It’s treated from multiple perspectives and disciplines by highly respected scientists and academics. The breaching or violation of various planetary boundaries is increasingly well documented. I’ve come to the conclusion that people seem to have a blindspot around Overshoot because understanding it generates an overwhelming sense of terrifying inevitability. There’s nothing wrong with using “climate change” as a metric. However, it is only one consequence of Overshoot. Addressing climate change as a central focus is futile and doomed to failure, if the predisposing, contributing cause is not addressed. I don’t actually even know if it can be addressed at all. So I suppose this evasion of the root cause is understandable. We evolved to succeed against a long list of evolutionary challenges and selective pressures. Except our own success. We won. Now, we die…..probably.
Second comment. We need to change the name of carbon capture systems to SOL systems, standing for Spit (or a similar and coarser word) Outta Luck!
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview and Andy’s great song at the end! I am a songwriter and I can say that that was some darn good songwriting! Thanks for sharing that and I am actively sharing lots of your videos! Thanks for all your hard work to find solutions and bring folks together!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great song at the end, thx for the show! ❤
You're welcome
I learned about climate change 41 years ago. In 1983, my last year of high school, my class watched a documentary called "A warming warning"
Its way too late. Guy McPherson is absolutely right.
Too late for civilization, but that does not free us from acting in the interest of life. We should act to make amends to natural systems around the planet.
An important question is how to decisively discredit debunk denounce eviscerate and cancel the harmful ideological dialogue of the denialists who contaminate public discourse and governance structures with their toxic disinformation
What is needed is a dedicated team, perhaps numbering in scores, of knowledgeable people, equipped with great info resources (e.g. database of detailed authoritative canned replies to denialist argument), doing an ongoing "search and destroy" (actually: search and respond) effort on social media and elsewhere.
Loved your guest! This is what we need! ❤
Thanks
Andrew throws in a gratuitous reference to India and China which is typically latched onto by the denialist cretins as an evasive what about his tactic. The fact is that even if fossil fuel combustion where to stop today the effects of the already accumulated CO2 emissions over a century will continue to destabilize and disrupt the climate systems. The references to China and India are dishonest and duplicitous since they do not account for the emissions used to manufacture products which will be consumed in the west. Also while the total National emissions are high the per capita emissions are not. The per capita emissions in the west are 5 to 6 times higher than the global average. Did the denialists are very well aware of this but choose to lie and twist the numbers to suit their ideological agenda.
