@@TolerantAcceptingModernCommuni A lot of people are already losing sleep over climate change because they've lost their livelihoods. Or else because it's already too dang hot to sleep!
Thats what people who regurgitate CNN say. Terrible ranching and farming practices are the major factor causing all of these "symptoms" given the evidence of the over abundance from my organic garden every year. I refer you to Paul Gautschi.
I'm tired of ranchers claiming to be amazing stewards of the land while washing topsoil away every year. I have personally had to pound fence posts in further year after year on the same pasture all while listening to the guy tell everyone how much he cares for his land.
that probably has todo with american ranchers traditionally having more land than they know what to do with, as opposed to farmers in moat of europe for example. you don't need to take care of the land if you've got so much that you don't need it to be optimally productive.
All you need to see in order to "get it" is a fence which keeps cattle off of a little land, and don't forgot EVERYBODY'S public lands are being profited from by these individual ranchers, it's nothing short of corruption... all for beef when Brazil still makes more than we do. Basically ranchers should have gone out of business decades ago, and would have if they didn't get huge public subsidies because stupid people think meat is necessary for their diets. And no, I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm not an idiot either. 100% agree with you.
Your wrong. Texas has bad drought every 4yrs. This was our bad year. Just these past two weeks we have basically had 2weeks of nonstop rain here in Texas.
“Climate change is a controversial topic” 2 seconds later “There’s definitely a change happening. To what degree. I don’t know.” You literally can’t make this up.
It’s amazing to me how these farmers and cattle ranchers’ literal livelihood is being affected by extreme whether and drought and they still won’t acknowledge climate change
Ummm…climate change advocating has pretty much left out farmers and ranchers completely. All marketing and advocating should be done to directly target these folks. They’re the BIGGEST water users on the planet. Make a mascot…”Sammy the Water Saver”… Give him a cowboy hat and a rope. The billy bobs will be all over it.
you do realize that climate change is a natural process that our planet goes through right? regardless if you think we're speeding it up or not,it's going to unfortunately happen..... of course we can do better to care for our planet.
"Is it possible that this hot climate is here to stay?" "Nope. Cause us farmers are close to god! We just gotta wait for the grass to come back." I hope that lady loses her farm. The level of ignorance to stare a problem in the face and say "nope, god is gonna do the work for me!" is astounding.
They haven't a prayer? No, but that is all they have. I have a nephew who owns and operates a cattle ranch in South Dakota. I want to see him prosper, but animal agriculture, especially raising beef, is too detrimental to climate change and fresh water usage, for me to remain silent. I spend a lot of time advocating the boycott of animal products, especially beef.
I think that rope looks stiff enough to actually be a lasso. cowboys on horsebavk definitely still use lassos, though I think mostly for catching calves.
A drought is temporary, but climate change will be forever. We keep heading down this denier path and we'll lose everything from the houses and land we live on to the food and water we need to survive.
Time to rethink how to make better use of the land and the dwindling water resources by resorting to better and more sustainable ways to utilize them. Raising cattle is simply not sustainable going forward.
@@iliketheodds2575 No the easy answer is don't live in areas that have limited water resources, Vegas is a prime example, to many people, not enough water....
Stop calling it drought. It isn’t drought. This is simply how things are today. The climate has changed. Same goes for California, where every weatherman has been saying drought for more than 20 years. 2 decades of drought isn’t drought. The climate changed, forever. Sunny Southern California used to be rainy for the entirety of Spring. It hasn’t been like that since the late 90s. I’m quite sure that Texas has changed just the same in their own way.
It's called weather warfare the government's using it I've been telling all my people to start stocking up on your food I told them this 5 years ago saying that this day would happen no one listens to me now look at the price of everything everything has gone up you guys are fighting to you know fill your cupboards up with food right now and I'm sitting plush because I prepared for this your government is not for the people it is against we the people when will you America stand up to your tyrant government now is the time to stand together everyone stop letting the corrupt government divide us
Texas and certain areas there are referring to has had limited water. The farmers waisted as much of the water as they could and now ranchers and dairies are contaminating the water that is left. Cattle ranchers need to move to where that land can handle the amount of cattle they currently have. All the wells tested by Texas tech found All the wells in Texas have been contaminated by the dairy and cattle industry. Who is going to clean that up???? Now they are crying about how they are running out of water????? They are the cause of the problem.
That is true. Droughts can last over 10 years and then come back to ideal water levels. It would have been helpful if Vice dug further into the information of weather patterns to see if this is just a cycle similar to 1930s compared to permanent.
@@thepranksters9841 Unless you have heavy investments in non-renewable energy sector, I have no idea why people push this ridiculous "cyclical" nonsense. I hope you at least get paid to comment stuff like this.
Vice should do a story about how once farmers and ranchers go out of business, their land is vulnerable to development (which disrupts biodiversity, wildlife passageways, soil health, and accelerates climate change). American Farmland Trust has lots of resources
no way you just said this. The farms themselves are the main disruption of biodiversity, wildlife passageways, soil health, and accelerating climate change.
They'll be BBQing anything that bleeds for a couple of decades, then their descendants will disown them like the cavemen they are. They're addicted to cruelty. Good riddance.
Relying on a man in a white coat to play god sounds like a worse plan. You idiots think you know it all and have the entire world figured out. Real quick what’s the average yearly rainfall in East Texas?
This is nothing new. I came from a long line of ranchers in Latin America in Brasil and Nicaragua which are the largest cattle producers in South and Central America we also use Brahman or other zebu breeds for their resistance to the heat and tropical pest. We’ve notice that the dry season hits harder and longer now so a lot of ppl have opted for silos and preserving food, same way ranchers in cold regions save food for winter we do the same but for summer and also storing water in retention ponds and planting large shade trees in pastures are some other things that have helped. Summers in some areas are so hard now that all the trees loose their leafs and the creeks and rivers that used to run year around don’t anymore.
@@MrIt83Cattle kept individually is good business, but it is only justified when the land cannot be grazed, and food has to be stored and rationed to be offered to cattle in stables. As long as cattle can be put to pasture, it will never be better to lock up cattle than to have them walking free. Is better to manage cattle as @Aris_Lopes described but is even better to Design a Silvopastoral Systems (SPS), to diversified the income of farmers integrating cattle and timber.
I wish people understood spiritual bypassing... "Whatever god wants we just got to get on through it." Umm, no. You can make changes, take action and listen to the science of what is happening to our climate and prepare for that!
totally agree, i think people rest on the idea that God will save them instead of thinking critically and being proactive to realize whats happening and to respond accordingly.
The drought has been going on for a decade but what has save farmers up until recently was well water or ground water. But because of frackin that ground water is gone or not usable. So we did it to ourselves.
@@donglover3134 Not really.. Fracking creates fissures deep underground that contaminate water sources before we even gain access to them. Its literally unfixable.
Miniature horses are going for ten dollars where I live and we don’t even live in a drought stricken area. And that’s ten dollars PER horse, not by the pound. Folks need to start planning for the twenty first century and stop living in the twentieth century.
If you want to be a science teacher, you have to believe in gravity. For these rancher, they probably voted in ppl who don’t give a dime with climate, so before they change their opinion, I share no empathy
This happens every 8 years in texas, its just the cost of doing business. And we got our rain, this isn’t climate change it’s weather. Texas is mostly ‘oak savanna’ meaning long stretches of no rain followed by intense flooding that go on for years 2000-2009 wet 2009-2015 dry 2015-2022 wet Happens all the time

Probably because we live in Texas and are outside checking rain gauges every time it sprinkles while you dumb hippies are inside worried about a RU-vid video made by a group of millionaires to fit their narrative it’s called weather couple weeks after this video was made most of Texas was flooded
I grew up on a farm, and truly feel for these guys, but the fact is, beef is just not a sustainable source of protein. These cows survive on grass hay and a bit of grain now and then, but the issue is their calves in the giant corporate feedlots. Each lb of beef requires 10 lb of grain/supplement, and Brahman calves are no different. Consumers need to realize they are going to have to change if our planet is going to survive.
My uncle's cows don't eat grain lol They never eaten one piece of grain their whole life. But I suppose for production farmers that's what you got to do
one or two cows, for one or two families, is actully very sustainable and economical.. but also, im from central california, and this was very common for families to do there. we would usually buy one cheap (at an auction similar to the one in this episode) and fatten them up on the extra fruits and veg from our garden, and hay of course. the meat after slaughter would last a year sometimes. a burger tastes better if it had a name, and you truly respect the meal, and the animals sacrifice, much more.
Climate denial state voting for climate denial politicians. The only ones I feel for are the ones sensible enough to vote against these oil paid politicians and who cant leave the state.
There’s not a rancher alive making much profit so I guess it turns out we do care. It’s a good thing the world doesn’t depend on you because to do the this job it takes an extreme level of selflessness and determination. The sooner you realize these big media groups and politicians on both sides are the ones that don’t care about you the sooner progress will be made. Try talking to an actual rancher before making an ignorant comment like this. FYI The “ranchers” in this video are people they found to fit the narrative they wanted to sell. Shocker I know!
Drier, hotter climate - "That whole subject for a lot of people is controversial" ... what does that mean? It's happening, farmers need to adapt... so what's the controversy? Is it actually not happening? Brahman Cattle - I get that it's advantage if they can sweat more to cool themselves down in the day, but wouldn't they need to drink the water in the first place? Don't they actually have to drink more each week to be able to sweat more... but I guess it doesn't wok that way! 🤔
@@kurtvonnegut9959 😄 😅 calm down 'dude' 🤣 he was repeated what they said, that they don't need as much water, it wasn't what I asked. DUDE you got issues.. 😆
Aussies (even the hardy rural farmers) are far more rational and reasonable in this matter. In the US, among the rural white folks, climate change denial is vehement. It is due to decades of slow poisoning by vested interests who dominate conservative politics.
I still don't understand why they haven't started building desalination plants in the coastal states. Sure water prices may double but at least we will have water.
There have been reports that the seas off the west coast are contaminated by toxic wastes, the reason why there seems to be no interest building desalination plans along that route.

Everyone in the comments attacking the farmers and ranchers are the same people who whined when the shelves were empty during the pandemic because farmers and ranchers couldn't get their products to market. The shelves are about to be empty again for a very different reason, drought leads to famine. Everyone complaining needs to grow and eat only their own food for one year, then they have earned the right to complain about small agri. These same people who get a vente coffee that uses enough electricity to power a third world home and refuse to accept their part in the climate shift. The same people who drive plastic cars and own multiple devices with planet-raping trace-element batteries that plug into a powergrid run off fossil fuels, while wearing this season's poly-plastic blend clothing and living in plastic filled modern homes. If you can see or touch or are wearing 10 petroleum containing things, besides the device you are reading this comment on, then YOU are part of the problem. 85% of communities DO NOT have adequate, or affordable recycling programs. Many don't even offer recycling programs, so petroleum containing plastics are buried, burned, or dumped in the ocean. Their water management is even worse. People blame food producers for water shortages, but they won't stop watering their lawns and golf courses of invasive species grasses sprayed with pesticides, or filling their pools with chemically contaminated water that poisons birds and bees. Recycling, Adapting, and Living Circular is the only way we as a species will survive. Has the planet been hotter than it is now? Yes, it has during several epochs of the fossil record. Those that didn't adapt- died off.
There is no such thing as 100 percent recycling. Modern waste the energy is safe and effective at dealing with waste and we need to massively expand such industry.
They believe that it's a test of their faith. If bad things happen, it's for a good reason. And by maintaining their faith, they will be rewarded at the end
If Brahman are too large of cattle for you zebu are a good substitute. They are a miniature version and one day we may see ourselves having to move towards smaller scale farming
These doom and gloom pieces are lame. They need clicks I get it. Texas goes through droughts all the time..... Big Hint guys, ranchers will keep as many cows as they can feed so if its wet like it has been the last 7 years in texas and then you go into a typical drought, youre gonna have to sell off.

My cousins have had four years of draught. This is our second year. If y’all think meat is gonna be affordable next year or the next if things don’t magically get better next year😅😅😅.
Honestly it would probably be best if meat became so expensive that it was no longer commonly used. Especially beef. That way ranchers could still make decent profits while also having less cows overall harming the environment.
Huh, interesting how the states that for so long have denied these environmental conditions are now experiencing these droughts... I can only hope this opens their eyes and inspires change.

Americans usually come through. But waiting for water to come back is not the long-term solution. They may have to find other sustainable ways to feed the growing population.

I think almost all of us are hampered by tradition what we're used to whether it's the beef Rancher or the person watering their lawn or the person driving their gasoline vehicle or the person swimming in their personal private olympic size swimming pool. Tradition is resistant to change or even considering change. Blaming others and believing they're much more responsible for problem than we are is also a pretty human First Response. Corporations blame individual people and people blame government and few of us will make a heroic change to reduce our carbon footprint. A few of us have enough resources We Believe we will Outlast those beneath us. Not even the house of Windsor can survive if there's no other living people, plants or animals on earth familiar to us.
Traditional ways of doing things are hampering our ability to deal with the accelerating effects of climate change and drought. What can each of us do about it? Boycott animal products! Going vegan is the single most effective way for each of us to minimize our environmental footprint. "According to the most comprehensive analysis of farming’s impact on the planet, plant-based food is most effective at combatting climate change. Oxford University researcher Joseph Poore, who led the study, said adopting a vegan diet is “the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth.” “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford. Joseph Poore switched to a plant based diet after seeing the results of the study. Links at my channel under "About."
Each person switching to a plant based diet would save 219,000 gallons (829,000 liters) of water every year! "UNESCO Institute for Water Education: The production of a meat-based diet typically consumes twice the amount of water as compared to a plant-based diet. National Geographic: "On average, a vegan, a person who doesn't eat meat or dairy, indirectly consumes nearly 600 gallons of water per day less than a person who eats the average American diet." Diet change-a solution to reduce water use? (IOP Science): This 2014 research finds "reducing animal products in the human diet offers the potential to save water resources, up to the amount currently required to feed 1.8 billion additional people globally."-Truth Or Drought (Title follows- "How Would a Vegan Shift Save Water?")
Tradition is an excuse for people who think learning is uncomfortable and hard. And it is. So is exercising and eating your vegetables. Sometimes uncomfortable and hard things are good for you.
It's amazing how only 5% of U.S. water is used for livestock. Whats even more amazing is mining is included with that percentage. Public supply is about 12% and the majority of that is coastal CITIES. A lot of rural people are also on well water and were raised to do little things like turn off the water when you brush your teeth and dont flush unless you poop. They dont have flowers from lowes in the front yard watering them every single day or thick Bermuda just to look at. People are so out of touch, honestly.
But the majority of water in the US is used to grow crops (~37%, the overwhelming majority of which is used to grow feed for livestock) and thermoelectric power (~41%). Public use supply is about 12%, wherein CA, TX, ID, FL, CO, NY, IL, NC, MI, MT, and NE account for 50% of the supply. Nowadays the 12 of the top 20 most populous cities are not coastal, but inland in like several cities in Texas, Columbus, Denver, and Chicago. The majority is not going to coastal cities. More water is going towards agriculture in the Great Plains, Central Valley, and alfalfa operations in the deserts of Arizona. I agree you shouldn't move to Las Vegas or Southern California and expect to have a green lawn, but water waste isn't solely an urban problem. There is a ton of waste in rural areas mainly due to poor agricultural practices and cows take a huge amount of water to get from a calf to a hamburger.
If there's one industry that absolutely needs to disappear, it's the cattle industry! The resources needed and environmental damages are too great to continue!
You sound so ignorant it is scary. People have been ranching livestock since prehistory. The only thing that has changed is that multinational conglomerates want control over all water. Dams and reservoirs stopping the natural flow of water ,I.e. mismanagement, is the only problem with water supply.
U like rib eyes, HB meat, or roasts ? We make the most from the land grasses to make sure cattle get fed well for optimal health purposes not to mention raising wheats and grain grasses for the flour, cereal, oatmeal, etc.
To that lady at the end… I love God, and God would want us to care about climate control. Not just hope that everything is going to be okay. Of course God wants us to hope, but God would want us to make a change for good if we can do it and not just sit back on our butt. What she said is ignorance.
Climate control global warming if they're just made up things people can't accept their head that these are weather cycles. They've been here before. They'll be here again
I couldn't agree more. The benefits of a plant based diet will have lasting effect for human health and for the health of the earth in the future. Unfortunately meat consumption is on the rise, especially in developing countries.
Actually that's the reason this is occuring, to drive ranchers and farmers out of business, so that G@tes and the ÇČP can buy it all up, which they have been doing for years, then c0ntr0l our food sources. No one can get adequate supplies of protein, iron, zinc, and myriads of other vitamins and minerals, from plants alone. That's why all the liberal ind0ctrinated s0y boys and girls look so thin, anemic, sickly, with their hair and teeth falling out. # hääŕp
The real victims are the animals here who were exploited all these years out of sheer habit by human beings. High time this cruel and unethical animal agriculture was stopped.
If so many "cheap" cattle are going to slaughter then prices should go down in the short term. Also, I wonder if that lady at the end of the video has considered the possibility that God just doesn't necessarily want it to rain in her part of Texas.
Back when my stepdad was a cattle rancher. He would buy a whole cow and have it slaughtered. We rarely had to go to the grocery store. We had a huge freezer in our utility closet full of beef.
Okay but is it the rancher’s fault they need to make a living or is it our fault for eating meat products with EVERY meal…… hard to point fingers when we all partake in the destruction
rancher just provides what we demand. its the fda and that awful food pyramid that is the problem. it drives economic growth if we eat meat every meal. tbh i didnt know people would want to do that, or anyone who could afford to eat meat every meal, until i was in my 20s.
@@alicat7281 I am a vegetarian too, 4yrs. I think that if people want to eat meat that’s perfectly fine, but moderation is key with literally anything. It’s just the same as conserving water, or electricity.
For every tree that is cut down...for every square foot of asphalt put in, the less rain there is, so they can start by leaving the rain forest alone; by not building another strip mall; by not putting in another housing development or condos. As a young kid, I grew up in St Petersburg, Florida and it rained every afternoon like clockwork but now, it hardly rains much at all. Y'all blame the ranchers, but in fact, they have left all the trees on their land. It's those large concrete cities around those ranches that are effecting the rainfall...Stop the mass building...Stop cutting down the forests...Stop allowing millions upon millions of illegals into our country. We must look out for ourselves and our future generations or our country will become a desert wasteland with no water or food like so many other countries...
To the last lady, PLANT TREES, that's what God want us to do. All of Rancher's land has not enough trees. Trees attract Rain. Silvopasture is the way to go.
@@dogguy8603 it’s better to plant native trees that can grow well in a period of drought. As I am not American, I can’t tell you which species of trees. Tree will provide a place where cows can cool themselves, improve the quality of your soil and protect your grass from burning.
I'm a rancher in an area that was under drought conditions,it literally changed over night with two days of rain, filled the stock ponds and grew new grass in a week and already started a new hay cut. It's never the end of the world as they claim only fools with not enough land and water that weren't being responsible anyway sold their heads for nothing.
You own that land or is it BLM land you borrow from teh rest of us like every other rancher I know? Where's our cut of your profit? Do you pay for the surface water rights on that land or is it just given to you?
Two days of rain is not going to return aquifers to their previous levels. Two days of rain will green the grass until the soil dries out. Now you sit and wait for two more day of rain down the line then wait for a couple more down the line.... But then again that has always been the plight of anyone in agriculture.

Meanwhile, California is diverting millions of gallons of water away from ranchers & farmers straight into the ocean. To provide municipal water, California gets it from Arizona! Dry spells come and the reserves are insufficient. In all cases, including Texas, the price of water skyrockets. It all comes down to water management. It’s easy as pie to blame climate change, but everyone knows that climate changes! We should have been prepared for this, and it’s absolutely criminal that we are not. Other places are being flooded. We live on a watery planet. There’s no excuse for this. VICE should go down the rabbit hole and get to the bottom of this.

My Crop duster grandpa tells me this joke at least once a month. A man in Louisiana is ordered over the radio to evacuate his house, there's flood coming. But he stays, telling his family, God will deliver! As the water reaches his porch, a cop drives by and asks to remove him, but he refuses. "God will deliver!". The water rises for four more hours, until its to his second floor window. A dingy from the red cross floats by, but he refuses "God will deliver!". As day turns into night, the water reaches his chimney, and he sits on his roof. A helicopter from the coast guard comes by, but he screams under the sound of the chopper "GOD WILL DELIVER". After he drowns, (he was a nice man) he walks up to the pearly gates and asks St. John "Why didn't God deliver?" I hope you get the metaphor.
