New Rule: Climate Shame | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) 

The problem is its not just one thing. Its everything. Plastic Solo cups are still sold and probably will always outsell aluminum ones. There needs to be a BIG coordinated concerted effort, not just yet another one little thing that makes people feel like they've done their part. Unfortunately there will be no coordinated serious effort until the skies are on fire. And even then... I'd bet against humanity.

@@GGoAwayy The path of 1000 miles begins with one step....Up until a few years ago, the technology to make these cups didn't exists. I think you're missing the bigger point, which is we need to focus on the THINGS THAT WORK. Bill's right that we're all hypocrites, but not all of that is just "humans don't want to do it". Most of it is that humans were provided erroneous information (like plastic recycling ability) and these programs were pushed by the plastics industry. What we need is to truly unite our efforts into the top 3-4 impact areas. Already auto manufacturers are putting more and more aluminum into cars. Aluminum recycled content is climbing. However, only a SMALL portion of states are deposit states. Until laws change this, it constricts the amount of aluminum available for recycled products. And guess who lobbies against the deposit laws? Steel, plastic, and importers.

@@cuthwulf I think I grew up when eco awareness really took off... I still have that "all the beauty" rainforest rap song in my head from watching it in school in the early 90s. Maybe things would have been different under President Al Gore. But Ive been waiting... over 30 years for ANY sign that people are making an effort to change. All I see are little things like this... we can't solve climate change without giving up a materialistic consumerism lifestyle. We cant solve it without fully banning polluting industries. Attempts to band aid our current lifestyle choices into something slightly more eco friendly is not going to work. It has not worked. Things have actually gotten worse over the past 30 years, even with constant messaging. Even with schools teaching generations of kids about this stuff. We will not change until the end of us is imminent, and by then it will be too late. I hope Im not around to see it.

oh so the solution is more centralised planning of products' life cycle who would've thought

The analogy to aluminum doesnt hold. It is exponentially cheaper to recycle aluminum than to produce new aluminum. It is an economic issue and that is what drives hearts and minds

They are. However that doesn't change the fact that continued burning of fossil fuel will be at our own peril and that of of flora/fauna from around the world.

He has no choice and he knows it.

Except here where he's still being a climate change emergency how. He's bang on about the hypocrisies. We spent how many years separating our garbage? For what? And then there are the electric cars....what absolute BS. Every. Single. Person. Going to Davos flies private. Tunaburger sailed around the world bitching and moaning about her "childhood" on some special yacht that required such an elite crew to sail her, that they had to fly them over!! (No doubt by private jet.) Climate change is real. But it's not an emergency. And even if it was, it wouldn't be because of our minimal contributions. All we are seeing is SJWs virtue-signalling as if that could produce energy itself. I grew up in the 70s, when big factories were producing a lot of pollution and nearly every day, people were running around screaming that the sky was falling, due to this pollution, that we'd have forever....10 years down the road, and pollution levels had dropped significantly.

He's always been like this.

@@ouranos0101 no he hasn't and he's said as much

@@tres311 Unlike the senile stiff we have now who has to sleep in a vat of formaldehyde.

Witnessed the same at a food court, people couldn't figure out the sorting !! They threw everything in the closest can! If they wanted to be serious they would need an attendant to sort the garbage!! They would have to increase the price of the meals to pay the person at the garbage cans! We are all going to pay for that later, nobody wants a dump near their house.

That’s the dilemma, but Pembroke Pines, FL is collecting garbage and recycling together and separating them themselves

That's too bad because students could make significant money recycling those cans.

In Germany, they really recycle. They care about their country. Hence, they are disciplined about recycling.

Holy shit, dude. That’s horrible.

For a change.

Bill is a big fan of George's work.

Carlin said we call Israeli terrorists soldiers, and Palestinian freedom fighters terrorists. Carlin was insightful. Maher keeps bringing on these Zionists. Bari Weiss tried to cancel her professors because they advocated for Palestinian rights, and against Israeli apartheid (Jewish supremacy). He brings war criminals like Netanyahu. I thought his audience didn’t like cancel culture or racism? Hypocrites on the left , racist on the right.

right, cause’ george carlin is the only other comedian to ever editorialize humans and the environment.

I was wondering where he was going with that, but he nailed it…

Maybe next year he'll have a full awakening and realize climate change is a giant lie. Climate change is 50 years of C19. Think about what we did the last three years and the harm's it caused. We could have spent 100 billion protecting the elderly and moved on. Instead we sent them back to the homes and spent 5 trillion. The fact people can't see the lie of climate change is the single biggest issue the planet has.

Bill says that only Ed Begley and Greta Thunberg actually walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk. They are both vegan. That is the single most effective way to minimize your environmental footprint according to an Oxford Study, which was the most comprehensive such study done so far. We should walk the walk and go vegan too. There are many other compelling reasons to do so.

The expert panel of the UN found that animal agriculture contributes more to climate change than all transportation combined! They urged mankind to switch to a more plant based food system. Going vegan is the single most effective way to minimize your environmental footprint according to an Oxford study.

@@bevmin7398 I think he qualifies as a centrist at this point, seeing as he's fairly sane and compassionate.

What's happening now is not normal climate change. It's not the sun (irradiance is declining), heat islands, or Milankovitch cycles. Ignore the alarmists like Gore, ignore the bloggers, and focus on the scientific literature (Nature, Science, PNAS, etc.). Temperature is rising with atmospheric GHG levels, and sea level rise has been accelerating now for 60 years. Meanwhile, skeptics cannot explain this rise over the past 60 years no matter how many goofy hypotheses they toss out and get debunked. When are they going to find that variable that explains this warmingif it isn't GHGs?! WHEN?! radiofreealbemuth, open your eyes because you've been conned!

Stop listening to politicians and start listening to the scientists.

Such a great skit. The list of all the crap the planet has survived in the billions of years since it formed and then "And we think that some plastic bags and aluminum cans are a threat to the planet?!" Love George

Tell that to Mars

It's a good joke, but legitimately incorrect. The fact that species are dying at an alarming rate, as well as ecosystems being destroyed. That's not just "humans are fucked". If what the planet was, is sustainable for life, than what it is becoming is unsustainable for life. Not just human life. Most life. If the earth being fine is defined as being sustainable for life, then it would seem it is not doing fine.

@@BadassRaiden Bingo!

@@HuckFlynn Yeah the hidden meaning he himself might have missed. Absolutely the "planet" will survive. But not all of it's ecosystem and fauna. That includes us. It's actually sobering to frame the problem not just in saving the whales, but saving our civilization. Because as the previous commentor is noting, Mars is a planet too.

On the East Coast, a lot of coal-fired power plants have been converted to biomass. They are supposed to function on the burning of trash and other waste. However, many of them simply don't receive enough trash in order to generate the electricity needed. So a result, they started cutting down trees and burning wood. The kicker is that Biomass plants have been deemed "renewable" and receive the same subsidies as wind and solar. Basically, they are considered carbon-neutral because they supposedly plant a tree for every tree they cut down. It's ridiculous because it takes a sapling decades to draw in the same amount of carbon that was put in the atmosphere from burning a tree.

Like the scrubbers they have for coal plants that remove 96-98% of pollutants.

@@gacitizen2 Exactly. So how would you assess that? Was trash to steam a good idea? On the surface it would seem so.

@@gacitizen2 I agree, but I do like the idea of burning our mountains of trash instead of burying it. I remember reading years ago about a trailer park (California, I think) that had been built over a landfill. The landfill was emitting so much methane that they were able to stick pipes through the blacktop and use the gas to burn tiki torches.

@@gacitizen2 BTW, the trash to steam plant was in operation the whole time I lived there - 2003 to 2017 - and it must have been profitable because the plant had a major fire around 2013 and they rebuilt it.

That is correct, sir.

Who's George Carlin?

William Munny -- he was that bearded dude who did that famous "Baseball vs. Football" monologue...aaaaaaand some other rant about seven dirty words you can't say on television that never really caught on nor influenced 3 future generations of comics too much...

George Carlin told jokes to support his cocaine weed and beer habits! He wasn’t a philosopher or a professor on climate change. He said things on stage that people either thought were funny or didn’t. I wouldn’t quote him to try and make a point about about people who spend their lives studying and researching climate change! They unlike GC…base their research on facts…GC said things he hoped made people chuckle!

I'll bet you're a hoot at funerals ..

Rediculous generalization, "environmentalists" aren't all the same thing, and cats like Deep Green Resistance, the Anarcho Primitivists and Green Anarchists are not messing around at all. That being said the Earth Liberation Fronts tactics were questionable of course.

@@brentmason6782 Calm down, self-important human. We will be extinct some day, so stop wasting your short life trying to "fix" a planet that is a meaningless cosmic accident.

Your right…keep quoting dead comedians to make your point about a Bill Maher segment on climate change. It’s so rational and timely! As far as humans being extinct in time…maybe you can start that chain of events…No one will miss you!

So what's the solution? Doing nothing? Just letting it _all_ go to waste because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? And believing it's virtue signalling is just projection on your part. We don't do it because we want to _look_ good, we do it because we know it's such a stupidly, desperate huge tide of unregulated industrial polluters, forcing terrible habits from us ("your only options are a paper-thin paper bag, a terribly thin plastic bag that's effectively single-use because just putting bread in it will rip it, or a double-thick plastic bag made from five times as much plastic") and corrupting politicians so nothing ever stops them, that we're limited to doing something, anything to make even a small reduction in impact. Companies and countries play games trading abstract carbon credits; what can we do that doesn't amount to a total loss of hope and control? If you can't answer that, don't turn it around on us and say it's just to look good.

@@Zzyzzyzzs there are not many easy solutions. My recycle company won’t take glass anymore. The extra truck to pick up recycling is a waste since frequently it in up in the landfill with all the other trash. Manufactures strive to make the most economical products and thus use the lowest cost materials to be competitive. At an automotive recycling conference almost 30 years ago. Someone asked what it would take to increase the recycle percentage of the automobile. I mentioned that if higher valued materials and components would make recycling more attractive and profitable, but it make them too expensive to buy. They made some components easier to disassemble and that made them easier to be stolen. They just had a climate conference in Switzerland and the attendees arrived in 1,500 private jets! No plane pooling for those folks! Do what makes sense wherever it’s possible. However, mandatory solutions have yet to very successful.

Yeah. When the thing with the most value is _money._

@@Virjunior01 yup, a true fact of life.

The big problem with not recycling is so obvious that deflecting from it seems nonsensical. "Virtue signaling" is a wingnut shame term for acting and thinking unselfishly.

Thank you. A person who lives according to his values. If only Bill Maher lived according to his values instead of his immediate comforts.

Good for you!now let me live how I think best. Deal?

I am of that age also. The problem with his coal energy supplied statistic is that the reason why it has stayed the same % is because coal use has increased in a lot of places like China and India. It has decreased in the US and our coal fired electrical plants that are still operating hardly have any Co2 escaping out of their smoke stacks compared to the filthy stacks overseas.

@@richardlug6139 True, as far as it goes. Many, if not most, by now, of the US coal plants switched years ago from coal to natural gas and those that remain are likely to switch, as well. We truly need more nuclear! That is the solution to these issues.

Thank you!! Finally someone has acknowledged that we HAVE made improvements over the decades! I’m so tired of young people demanding “immediate” change and they are totally ignoring the fact that we have been changing dramatically for decades. AND, we will continue to improve as we discover new technologies and improvements current ones. I’m so tired of the “but, the glass is half empty crowd”

And yet the environmentists will still say the world is going to end in 10 years, 20 years no wait just 10 more years...and it never does. We can be responsible I like clean air and water as much as the next person but seriously "save the planet"?. Aluminum cups or paper straws are going to save a planet that was fine before we came along and will be fine when we are long gone. As humans we have yet to understand the "international law of unintended consequences". We get righteous and try to fix something that isn't really broken and end up killing 10 species of wildlife due to wind turbines off the coast (because no one wants them in their backyard). Or have people freeze to death because oops we didn't make our green energy machines cold proof. The environmental movement leaders are grifters. Any time there is that much money in something it is corrupt. Read Michael Crichton's State of Fear. Great read but footnoted and documented if you want to have your eyes opened.

I agree, the change has been for the positive but now the extremists are going way to far.

Yes, and somebody will inhale all that poisonous smoke.

@@mikemondano3624 ok

Except the climate fact. There is nothing wrong with the climate. It is just used to take your rights away by Big (Brother) Government.

Hmm? What exactly do you mean? Could you explain?

You can choose not to buy wt all from those big, bad corporations, dear. How many pears of shoes do you have? Shut up.

Their bottom line is improved by cutting costs. How do you figure they are over-packing?

@@kommisar. For instance...the salads I like have 6 individual plastic bags total for ONE salad. One bag each for the croutons, dressing, bacon bits, cheese, seasoning, and the bag that contains everything inside. 6 plastic bags for a salad. Cost cutting only goes so far. I have many other examples of this.

@@tioswift3676 Yes, and you know why they do this? Because people like different amounts of that stuff on their salads. By packaging the stuff individually, it attracts more consumers by giving them the ability to control just how much of those toppings they have mixed in their salads. People can be picky. Providing consumers more choice over their salad toppings gives the salad companies a way to out-compete one another. No, cost cutting doesn't only go so far. They do not purposefully over-package their goods. Their whole goal is to maximize their profits. They have all kinds of experts and meetings to make sure they are not wasting supplies.

@@kommisar. I get what you’re saying…but this is too much waste. here’s a more egregious example. I get premade meals every week, put them in the microwave. And have a great tasting fresh meals in 3 minutes. Each meal comes in its own divided plastic dish, covered in plastic film. Inside the plastic dish with the food is usually 1-3 plastic containers with lids (butter, sour cream, diced chives/parsley, etc). Then on top of the plastic dish, there’s a printed cardboard cover that each individual dish slides into, which tells you about that single meal. On top of that, each cardboard and plastic dish is plastic coated. On top of that, the giant cardboard box these meals come in, also have 5-6 thick plastic bags filled with a gel substance that they freeze and put into the box to keep things cold. On top of that, they place a 1 inch thick cardboard + insulation material which envelopes the entire inside of the box. On top of that, between 10-20 paper inserts go into the box, repeating what each individual meal has in it (already on the printed cardboard), plus offers for new products and other things. This might be a better example than the salad one.

I heard/read somewhere that even Greta and her parents have a private jet, ffs. It was when she staged the arrest. So she is full of shit too.

We will not invent our way out of the problem. We will be faced with a critical juncture and will either adapt or die.

Yeah? No, in my country we stopped doing the milk bottles thing because the milkmen started banging the housewives and we had to stop it.

glass bottles are heavier and consume more fuel to transport as well as to manufacture so unless you use reusable glass bottles using disposable glass bottles will waste more energy and emit more CO2

@@TeddyKrimsony We did reuse and recycle glass. Even glass factories took in recycled glass and made them into bottles. It was a thing we did before plastic bottles ever became a thing.

@@WHNorthcote recycling glass requires way more energy than making new plastic bottles also a glass bottle weighs 10x a plastic bottle so transporting glass will require more energy

@@TeddyKrimsony See this is why we are doing nothing. We have advanced in the technology where we can go to glass and recycle now. We don't have the floating garbage pile in the pacific if we just kept to glass. We would not be having micro plastics in sea animals now. Plastic as a usage is good but we are rubbish at recycling that. We were recycling glass for generations. We have better management of furnaces and use natural gas. Before we used wood gas or coal gas which produced a lot of waste. We now have gas which is more better in heating quicker than the black or brown coal we used in the days before we changed our minds on pollution. The smog of London brought the clean air act in the 1950's. We started to change from coal to gas. We have become more adept at using manufacture now than what we did in the 1980's. I admit there is a longer way to go before we have heat energy from fusion but we are going there slowly But from 1980 onwards we have advanced enough to leave plastic bottles and recycle glass, bricks and concrete better than before. We just need that kick to get it going again.

But doubling our population has insured that we won’t make any sustainable progress on climate change.

It's the percentage of total energy used, not a raw number, so it doesn't matter what the overall number is. We went from 62% non-coal sources to 63% non-coal sources.

@@teresabenson3385 The emissions are ALL that counts. Because of population growth we have basically canceled out all the progress we’ve made in lowering our emissions since 1990. The only significant “drop” was due to shutting down the economy for the pandemic and it’s gone right back up. The left won’t talk about it but mass immigration is the sole reason we aren’t making and won’t make any progress on GHG emissions.

@@katanaman444 It's really not. Your individual household rubbish is trivial compared to industrial waste, and even if it did matter 95-100% of it doesnt get recycled anyway, its simply waste. Recycling by in large is a fallacy.

truest statement there is. We're all just selfish by nature. In order for us to save ourselves, we need to transcend our nature. I have no idea how we do that...

As a british comedian put it "if i have to press a button that releases a big plume of black smoke and in exchange i can see my child grow up fed and healthy and able to have a family of his own, its a button i and any other father WILL press without any hesitation". the cost of our advancement in technology and quality of life is that big black plume of smoke that comes out of factories every day and we have 2 options: we either progress our technology further and faster to get to where we don't need that smoke or we go back to the 1700s... and most of what the clueless climate activists propose is us going back to the 1700s.

@@Tyler-zl6yw nope. That’s not it. There is no problem with how people are wired. And We are not selfish by nature. That’s the wrong word. At least by my definition of selfish which is „never considering anyone else’s goals or interests and solely focusing on your own interest, irrelevant of its consequence for other people.“ but that’s not what humans tend to do or be. Capitalism is not a selfish system either. It’s literally a system built on competence and providing value with that competence to other people. Mutual value provision. That’s what it is. And it’s that very true nature of recognizing we are all slightly different from one another, with different talents and strengths, and wanting to work on those talents and wanting to improve our lives with those is exactly why capitalism works. What people need to transcend is their inner demons. Their lower nature. Which is temptation, lying, cheating and so forth. Those things are selfish. Putting yourself first isn’t selfish, as long as you aren’t willfully damaging someone innocent to get your way. Of course you should put yourself first. The only way your life can be fixed is if you fix it. The only way everyone’s life gets better is if everyone takes responsibility for their own life. Everyone has that responsibility over their lives and it’s impossible to outsource it. I’d even argue that ideologies that preach sacrificing yourself in its extreme are satanic. Ideas that don’t recognize the sacred nature of the individual and it’s divine influence on its life are satanic. How people when they’re disciplined are wired is how they should be wired. If they act with the genuine Axiom of not setting out to hurt people, but setting out to provide something of value, that’s exactly what god intended. Those ambitions make the world better for everyone. That’s exactly what improved the circumstances in the west. That’s why everyone in the west is rich. There is nothing wrong with the way people are wired. You own life has to be your highest priority, because if everyone acted like that, within the moral framework of a society and with the intent of genuine improvement, everyone would be taken care of. And those who can’t do that, be it disabled people or people who have a genetic issue that doesn’t enable them to work and take care of themselves, that 10% of people need to be fed by society. But you can’t change how people are wired, in fact, it isn’t even desirable to do so. It’s desirable to transcend the evil. What’s desirable is raising awareness that everyone can be much more than they are right now. But being much more does not mean putting yourself below others. That’s the wrong way. Quite the opposite is true. Your interests should matter to you the most, because you’re not living anyone else’s life. But within a societal context. Hope this added value.

@@jpteknoman if there is only co2 in that smoke it’s not even an issue. 😂 just helps food production and plant life and makes the planet more inhabitable.

@@frankyouell7561 Oh, so you'd rather take a cab or park your car in some distant lot and shuttle to the terminal, walk long distances in the terminal, take your shoes off and wait for long periods of time in a TSA line, sit in crowded seats with no elbow room, potentially listen to wailing babies, and pay outrageous prices for a beer. To each his own I guess but I'd take private every time. And maybe the strangest part of all of your reply is that private jet hangers are usually located closer to the airport entrance so you don't have to go out of your way, it's actually closer.

Obviously it's nicer/ easier, but the point is whether it's really that necessary. The point of flying is still to get from a to b, both things do that. Could also still go first class if you want a nice drink

@@kurtsudheim825 Obviously, anything that can be done can be reduced to its most rudimentary purpose, including wearing clothes, driving a car, decorating a house, etc. but for me, a part of what makes life interesting is doing things in style rather than in dullness. So drive the best and most stylish car you can afford and fly by corporate jet if you can because it's way more stylish than flying by one of the major carriers. For some people, the duller things may work because they get the job done but I for one want to enjoy the finer things while I'm here while still living within my means.

Exactly. Private Jet shaming is so hypocritical by those that do it. Imagine a world were owning a personal car was financially out of reach for 90% of the population. Those 90% had to travel by public transportation while the other 10% drove around in their own private car. The 90% would shame the 10% because they were driving around privately. But in reality, we live in a world were 90% of us can own a private car….so we do. Millions and millions of cars, trucks, and SUV’s driving around - despite the fact that it would be “better for the environment“ if we all took mass transportation. We do it, because we can. Same for people who can fly privately - they can. And if more could afford it, they would do it too. Private aircraft shaming is hypocritical. On another note; World wide, the commercial aviation (that includes private jets being flown by a professional crew), contributes less than 5% of total carbon emissions. Most people, through misinformation spouted by media, assume aircraft are giant pollution machines. Not true. Aircraft engine manufacturers have made tremendous improvements in fuel efficiency, noise pollution, and reliability over the decades.

It is hypocritical to preach climate change when you are a bigger contributor of pollution. I don’t know Bill but I be willing to bet he owns a big house, even though he’s single. I would also say he owns multiple properties even though he doesn’t have a family. I bet he owns multiple cars. He flies in a private jet. For years, he preached climate change and talked about how people should sacrifice. What about him?? Where were his sacrifices?? I have more respect for him if he stopped preaching to his audience and to regular middle class people who barely can survive today on meager salaries and low-wages. Why is it when society wants sacrifices, it’s always the poorest and middle-class that has to do the sacrificing?? Environmentalist will say that Air-Conditioning is bad for the environment. They expect the poor and middle-class to give A/C so the rich can A/C their multiple homes that they are not using… Cough… I mean “so we can protect the environment!” He needs to start yelling at his politicians. If he wants to see changes to the environmental policy, then he should start there. And he doesn’t have to do it on TV. He has the power, money and influence to reach any politician he wants behind close doors. I rather he do that.

Same here, I don't have anywhere to recycle where I live.

no because i understand that resources are generally infinite on planet earth. recycle all you want; you'll never make a difference. all we have to do is dig and viola .... more iron, more coal.

That's why nothing matters until it effects ME ! lllol

RULES FOR THEE, not for me.

Sounds like an everything can kiss off moment. The environment is screwed.

Flying is always awful. The best thing about being rich would be forcing everyone to learn patience: they'd have to wait while I arrive by train and boat .

Yes you‘re right, but actually no, you’re wrong, there are people who really make sacrifices consciously and don’t expect to get an award for it, they just do it because they know it’s the right thing. Actually it’s not really a sacrifice in their minds, its just what is needed and isn’t affected by other people’s lifestyles, these don’t change what is the right way.

yeah no.

@@AJ-xm4xc Yeah no! I blocked and spam removed you; yet you stay around like RU-vid bacteria!

Truth, but are you actually getting different results as you improve? And are you playing the same way every single time to Master the sound? I've played guitar for over 35 years now and agree with what your saying, but getting the sound you want is not always about repetitiveness, it's a vibe that you can't put your finger on sometimes??

Yea idk why that "definition of insanity" thing gets repeated so much, it's wrong.

That laughed sounded like a female Gary Coleman

It was the idiot Bari Weiss. Bill has now moved in to his late 60's and it shows. CNN wants him to host weeknights so they can move more to the right! The world has gone nuts.

Completely dumb takes

So? What is their hurry? Celebrities should just take trains and boats and hybrid cars or limos. Why do we all think it's ok to be in an effing hurry all the time? Being rich, for me, would mean I would NEVER HURRY AGAIN. Wait for me, world. I hate flying.

LOL, who cares about who or what they are, they're ALL still Human Beings ffs.....well, some of em are at least. If you're not willing to practice what your preaching, then you should stfu and mind your own business. I dunno, maybe it's just me. Whenever I hear or see one of the worlds biggest liars and degenerate hypocrites try to play the "Holier than thou" act, it makes me IMMEDIATELY tune out, or plan on doing the complete opposite of what they say to do out of spite. Maybe all of these washed up clout whoooooooa's should focus on their careers and making reasonably entertaining movies and TV shows again, because Lord knows that the crap they've been pumping out of Pedowood over the past decade hasn't been anything to brag about. By the look and sound of it, they don't even have their house in order so they've got zero room to tell anyone how they NEED to be living their lives.

You can give them a pass, but I won't lol! It would be fine for celebrities to fly private, except that they PREACH about climate change. So yes... They ARE hypocrites, and that's why they don't deserve a pass.

@@AbcAbc-sp1od Ya nailed it! Rules for thee but not for me. That's the modern Elitist creed Or even better, "Do as I say, or else pay". Every single one of these no morality or conscience having charlatans are by far the most wasteful, selfish, entitled, lazy, out of touch, narrow minded social aretards in the history of the Human Race. It takes a very special kind of dolt to think that these people actually "care" about any of the things that they're talking about on a daily basis, or whatever happens to be trendy that week.

Nope. I don’t blame them either. You think people are morons now? Wait til they sit next to Tom Hanks, or George Clooney. Bill is right, there two kinds of people in the world, this’d who fly private and those who would if they could. Fuck it. Climate change is a hoax anyway…who cares?

I think there's a lot that he and Pope Francis would agree on. (Francis refers to it as our "throw-away culture" and "culture of consumerism")

I disagree, most people are on board to do the right thing the best they can. Keep educating ( truth as there is too much BS in many of the statistics) and people will come around. You cannot force your way (green extremists) on people as I for one will rebel on that!

@@colorocko1 - I am well into my eighth decade and find the degradation of society in just three generations absolutely deplorable. The youth of today want, as has been the case, everything handed to them. That includes HubGub, SkipTheDishes and the rest. Dare I call them lazy? Sure, they are. As if that isn't bad enough, they lack basic education. "It's too hard." Not to take sides with the 'haves', I must make a case for the 'have nots': Republicans have it set up so that rural areas do not qualify. You're too poor to educate but it's okay to vote...as long as you vote Republican. And they stare in wide-eyed consent. And vote.

Earthlings? Careful there bud, a statement like gives away that ur really from another planet😂

@@colorocko1 - If you are willing to both question and rebel, you must have an education. Republicans control and rely on votes from those without a college degree...which means they passed Grade Three and went to work on the farm. You make strong points, though, for the educated.

@@biggi3st3v3 - Damn! And they warned me about that possibility just before launch. I practised it all the way. Memorization, repetition, and I still screwed up. The worst part, Biggest Ever? I happen to know for a fact that THEY ARE WATCHING.

So you agree climate change is real?

But bill gates donates 3 million dollars every flight so he can fly. Cash money literally scrubs carbon out of the air…DUH! Jeff Epstein taught him

There's no defense for the gigantic egos who fly private jets to conferences where they will discuss climate change. That's true. But their stupidity does nothing to change the fact that climate change is still mankind's biggest challenge.

This is not true! The real number is 1 car for an entire YEAR. All aviation on earth only contributes 2.5% of carbon emissions. Private jets do contribute disproportionately more than all other flights. But generally because they make more flights. The average American may only take 1 round trip flight per year while celebrities must fly regularly for their work. For size comparison a 737 produces about the same carbon per mile as a car for each passenger. So 150 passengers equals 150 cars times the number of miles in the flight. Aviation is not the problem.

From what I understand, manufacturing cars emits more CO2 than driving them

This is a topic I don't know much about, but I'm always curious how the pollution caused by the general population compares with that caused by corporations. I always get the feeling that they're trying to pretend it's my fault when it probably isn't.

Yeah, we can start by being able to repair stuff instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. Make it less expensive to repair than replace.

That's Bari Weiss, check out her take on Tulsi Gabbard from her Joe Rogan interview a few years ago to see how cruel she actually is while sitting on her throne of influence.

And she's so hot, I love her she needs to do Rogan again

@@manifestideas Damn you beat me to it!

Bari Weiss is a treasure, she's one of the last true journalists left. You should check out her podcast 'Honestly with Bari Weiss'

@@manifestideas You may disagree with her, but she is not cruel by an stretch.

Those draconian searches are meant to keep your trip safe. Forgetting 9/11 are we?

Flying out of Dublin last month ,I had to go through two security checkpoints and immigration before I even got to my boarding gate . On the plus side all I had to do was pick up my luggage when I arrived in the USA.

I’d say almost all the time

Bill has his on private jet
