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. We live in Arizona, which I'm sure you know is drying up. In a 20+ year drought We are thinking of moving to the East coast.. But that might not be a good idea either. Where is the best location to move?

@@barbarasmith6005 sorry you've fallen for the biggest fraud in living memory. I was temporarily pulled in a few years ago too, but I soon recognised the tell tale signs of group psychosis. If the climate alarmist narrative was standing in truth & confident in that, why are all the very many dissenting scientific voices censored?
Yes step up to the plate. This is your fault and you need to take personal responsibility. Putting recyclable rubbish in the black bin is killing the planet. I hope you are proud of yourself. You have doomed us all.
@@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.
@@robtall5537 China is Communist politically but Capitalist economically. I'm a capitalist at heart but without a doubt it's out of control & we need to be honest & find a better way. Collectively & globally. But I really can't see consensus coming anytime soon

Hello Roger. You need to do some pushups. We need you in shape so you stay in the fight for many years. You would despise it for 3 weeks....but no problemo after that.
@@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 extinction rebellion was preceded about 30 years ago by The distinction propelling. People simply distinctioning themselves by getting themselves ready for what is surely going to be a rough time for those who chose extinction.
david pretiz : I think Roger would have to be very careful in what he says. 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.
Will XR Comms please help Roger to edit his very important work. I can't Wade through 130 mins. What a shame, he even admits 'i ramble on'. Will noone have the courage to take him in hand?
The whole combined outrage of Twitter entire has not enacted as much change as 1 thrown Molotov! We are truly done. If we’re lucky we can halt it at about 1-2 billion people left. I think south of 1 billion. All because a bunch of middle class charity workers didn’t want to offend their sensibilities. But you know it was a great laugh all this stuff on the 90s and 2000s and it still is for most of those people at 50+ years old. If I was you I would ignore the lot of those fools and act like you don’t want the truly worst thing he is talking about to happen. But your already getting the bill for 200 years you didn’t have much to do with..
Roger you have been a maginificant force for good. However, this video is far too long amd meandering. Do it again, summarize it in 5-8 minutes max. You can delete it all up to 23:11.
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
And stop blaming China. In aggregate, over the time the USA are the biggest polluters. In every aspect. Yet you insist that China is to blame. Propaganda In the USA is really good. The technology for RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES EXISTS AND CHINA IS YEARS AHEAD OF ANYBODY IN SOLAR ENERGY. You, in the fucking States still deny the Evidences THAT ARE NOT ON PAPER, they can be seen. When Hell freezes over has already happen. Texas, one of the hottest States has FROZEN. And so much more. Money is more entertaining. You in the USA are ADDICTED to money. And that stops you from developing these technologies. Millions of jobs, Your Greatness, which presently is high in Terrorism, the USA are the biggest Terrorist attempt of a a Country. We fractions of an inch of a Nuclear War, BECAUSE OF THE USA. And money made your ex colony a rich Country that is also a third world country. I despise you.

Why? It isn't the first time there was a heat dome in the US and Canada. It happens from time to time, most notably in the 1930s. You might want to check your history before regurgitating climate change garbage.

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.
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 pray we can make good miracles happen with God's help & as an older person I will NEVER STOP FIGHTING NOW until I die. I'm making this pledge now. LG
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
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!
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..
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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).

@@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.
Look up what the prepper comunity is doing. The more resilient single people, families, towns etc. Are the less stressful such disruptions will be taken. So get ready, be active turn to life walk that leads to a self sustaining lifestyle away from the city.

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.
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.

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.
The truth is too hard to swallow, mate? It's the reality and the rich corporations are the ones who led us down this path. We were warned 40 years ago.
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.
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.
If this vid and others like it were to be translated, they would do what no gov seems willing to do.... force people to see and hear it at least as often as they hear which brand of toilet paper is the softest. I know it is too late due to the feedback loops already in place and the continued growth of the numbers of ppl thanks to birth rates of 6 children / woman in africa, asia, india. Those are the ones will suffer the most and those are the ones that keep creating human beings to add to the problem. Overpopulation killed the world. If they ask for translators, I can do spanish and catalan. even with effort italian and portuguese. Need african indian and asian translators. Cannot think of something to be done that will yield results more than this one thing.
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?
Yes, the PEOPLE will fail to correct matters with the environment, but you are missing a key factor… Will the CREATOR do something about the ruination of the earth? The answer is a resounding YES! ( Revelation 11:18) If you have a Bible backround, you must realize that Jesus taught about what God’s Kingdom will do in the near future ( Daniel 2:44). He will NOT ALLOW his beautiful creation to be destroyed ( Psalm 37: 1-11). We are living in the last days of man’s way of doing things, but Jehovah will step in VERY SOON and make this right for his precious children!💓🌷
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.
Roger I appreciate your clarity. Why then at minute 46 do you mix into your break down of statistics, flights of imagination involving hot pokers and gang rape. It's a jarring and unnecessary contrast with the scientific data that actually undermines your case, for me. I've taken your advice and paused the video there. Please leave our imaginations to us, we are perfectly capable at guessing just how awful things can be. Thanks😔
So if you’re trying to get something done for 30 years and nothing is changing, then things are not going to change because you’re ineffective. Hmmmm, tell that to the Black South African Government, or to the Irish who have fought your people for 800 years and have their freedom for the most part. Or the Russians fighting communism since 1917, why oh why didn’t they just give up like you advise?

I struggled with the first 15 minutes, tbh. That’s too long for introductory remarks! But I did watch the rest and I agree with all of it. I think you gloss over a few things or don’t address them at all: a) the international dimension, the USA puts more carbon into the atmosphere than any nation and their culture will not permit change outside the strict limits that the 1% allows; b) direct action might be disruptive but the state fights back, recall the PIRA hunger strikes and the Greenham Common women, there must be popular support or you will get nowhere. I suspect (with no real scientific basis) that we are fried - or our children are - and that there is nothing we can do about it.
Not true. U.S.A.Does not put more carbon in the atmosphere than any other nation. U.S.A. has decreased carbon output in the last 20 years whereas Chinas carbon output is growing.
Look at Sam Carana for accurate info on the state of the arctic sea ice and the dire state of the temperature there....especially the exponentially increasing emission of methane

Just a question, Roger - at 45:30 you mentioned our girlfriends and mums will be gang-raped on the table by roving gangs and our eyes will be poked out with a hot stick. I'm just wondering, will boys and men be gang raped too? And will they put out everybody's eyes with a hot stick, or just the males? If we reach net zero in the West in five years, will that stop the societal collapse and prevent the gang rapes? Cos it would be a shame if China, India etc (and increasingly Africa) don't get to net zero as well, then it's all going to hell anyway, whether we do anything or not? Or should we keep trying, for the principle of the thing, even though it's pointless? What do you think about forming community protection clubs, to protect the women (and men?) from gang rapes? I get we'll all be starving, so we'll probably be quite weak, but won't the gangs be starving and weak also? Can people even gang rape if they're starving? I thought starvation caused impotence.. I suppose there's always the hot stick though... 😧
