Can't believe in watching This for free, and I'm happy that you guys did it. This is an important topic and it needs to be seen by alot of people

"The planet will survive, it's not about the planet, it's about us." This hits hard.

“In order for Africa to transition, it would take an investment of 70 billion every year.” The US war in Afghanistan cost 300 million dollars a day, or about 120 billion dollars a year.

I’m Nigerian and I blame our leaders and not Britain or US. Our leaders corruption is why we are still underdeveloped. If we utilized the fund we got from oil well, we would be like Dubai

This is amazing that Netflix has released it for wider public to see. Irrespective of the subscription. This is a very important topic. Thank you Netflix. And Vox.

"There's a lot being invested in destruction in the world today" That's sad but true

so depressing, this is why im starting to saving to purchase a piece of land and become a self sufficient permaculture farmer

0:20 "An atmosphere of that gas would give to our earth a high temperature".. *goosebumps*

The world isn't going anywhere, we are. - G. Carlin

It's unfair to talk of the 'developing' countries increasing contribution to Co2 levels without pointing out that the main reason they are increasing output is because they are now the ones manufacturing the West's products. In other words, Europe, Nth America etc are just farming out the damage they are doing, they are still the bigger problem.

Just wanted to say that I'm writing a seminar university essay on Big Oil and this video is the best starting resource I could've ever imagined. Excellent work guys and gals, keep it up!

"...otherwise we're all gonna fry..." That is pretty much the point

The saddest part to me is that the most guilty people will never be held accountable.

1. Plunder nations into poverty. 2. Pretend to fix the damage while finding new ways to plunder even more. 3. Give back a fraction of what was taken and call it aid, like you're doing them a favor. 4. Complain about spending anything to help plundered nations and blame them for their poverty. 5. Remember that none of these steps was "Stop plundering"

The mention of leap-frogging and the explanation of why it's not possible in developing countries was satisfying to watch.

This gave me a different perspective of the history, thanks for the amazing video.

The fact that scientists warn them in 1965 and they did nothing really destroys my hope in our species' survival

I’m surprised the full episode is uploaded here. This is actually one of my favourite programs on Netflix.

Can’t quite describe my excitement and the buzz I feel right now but I love this topic of discussion because it’s necessary.

There will never be an end to oil. Everything you own has been made by a byproduct of petroleum.

As a Nigerian, I can tell you that although there’s currently a lot of rhetoric about net zero, the reality on ground points to very little if any intentions of cutting down on carbon emissions in the near future, and the argument is basically around the unfairness of the developed world asking this of us just when we’re beginning to get our act together having not too long ago come out of the doldrums of colonialism followed by military dictatorships, wars and political instability.

The Stone Age didn't end because of the lack of stones... It ended because of the bronze age.

So complicated in a world where money for the few is more important than the health of the planet.

"We all need to work on this together whether not its fair in any sense" Yeah lady, easy for you to say.

OPEC to their investors: Don’t Panic. The Future: Yeah… panic.

I think city planning and transportation also play a role in our energy consumption. Too many people opt for private vehicle because cities and towns have been built for them, not the people. The reliance on private vehicles is further exacerbated by inferior public transit systems and induced demand for cars wrought on by too many road projects. If we were to address this part of the problem I think we would be able to reduce energy consumption significantly.

Something overlooked in the video was the opportunity to talk about car dependency, which is the single greatest cause of oil dependency. In the U.S., transportation represents two thirds of all petroleum usage. If the entire world were to have a per capita car ownership equivalent to that of the U.S. (the most car-dependent large nation), it would result in over 6.4 billion vehicles on the road worldwide, and over 4.5 times increase over the current amount. Having all of those being powered by gasoline would be catastrophic to the environment, not to mention it would accelerate peak oil. There are serious concerns about whether there are enough viable mineral resources to create enough batteries to replace our current fleet of ICE vehicles with EVs, plus mining for the required materials poses environmental and human rights issues of its own. The only workaround to these issues is to move past the notion of widespread car ownership. We have to be smart with how we design and re-develop our cities in the future, especially as the world continues to urbanize. Cities of the future need to avoid being like the resource-hungry, financially-insolvent urban sprawl that's sadly endemic in North America. The way we've designed cities for the past 70 years makes it to where most people have to own their own vehicle just to function in society. There are no real alternatives to the automobile in most American and Canadian cities, as walking and cycling are often dangerous and lack suitable infrastructure to support it, and transit is usually woefully inadequate and underfunded. Our cities need to have suitably high population density and focus on mixed-use, transit-oriented development. Cities absolutely need to be built to where the preferred means of travel should be walking, cycling, or mass transit, with cars being dead last. We need to stop prioritizing individual vehicle ownership and start prioritizing better alternatives. We need to stop building massive freeways and start investing in better, more affordable, more expansive transit. Car dependency is simply unsustainable in the long run. There is no excuse why we can't have cities designed to where most of what people need or want is within walking or cycling distance, and that if those aren't options that there's a reliable, safe, and affordable transit option. Smarter urban planning will benefit every nation on Earth and go a long way to breaking our dependence on limited resources.

Thank you for this, Vox.

There's never talk of rethinking and redesigning our cities to be less energy demanding. Such as, not having to use a car for daily needs aka being able to walk or take public transit. Sometimes less is more.

USA and UK : takes African/middle eastern oil and use it to develop Africa and Middle East : gain independence and start using thier own oil to develop USA and UK : omg u guys are hurting the environment that’s so bad why you aren’t like us ?

This is so good! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from sunny El Salvador!

I did a project on Eunice Foote. She was completely overlooked in her time, and her work taken by a man. Thank you for highlighting her :)

It's sad to see the amount of confusion and devastation caused by the lies of the rich and powerful. You see it in everything.

Electric cars arent going to fix it. We need walkable cities with good public transit and bike infrastructure. We need to dramatically improve our rail networks for both intercity travel and freight.

I missed the part where the use of oil actually ends…

You know there's a saying: " Man cannot learn to walk without falling " We've started to fall, and once we're at the ground we'll get up and make sure that we won't fall again. But we will fall, nobody can stop it!

Damilola Ogunbiyi spoke really well about these issues. Both African people were outstanding in their understanding of the problem and how infeasible it is to just expect developing countries to phase out fossil fuels, especially when they have nowhere near the same resources. Plus, the developing countries are not burning fossil fuels as a hobby, it’s for industrial use, of which the end consumers are worldwide and often these massive conglomerates are owned by developed countries. Really, there’s no use to point fingers at anyone, we all will suffer if we don’t work together. If the end of the world as we know it doesn’t bring humanity together, I don’t know what will. And honestly, I’m kinda really worried we might not make it. Maybe this is the Great Filter of civilisations: whether greed can outweigh morals.

They knew the whole time. And didn't care. Now we're dealing with the ramifications.

I love this part most with the idealist at 16:36 and then the person who knows the facts on the ground 16:47. Simply brilliant.

Now with only 1/2 of all the oil that was ever in the ground, we are burning through it at the astonishing rate of 2.1% per year. That leaves us only 47 years worth of oil if we continue at this rate and even less if it is used faster. And there just isn't really any other way right now to move around goods and people, to create the vast amounts of concrete and fertilizer the way we do other than with oil. Since most economies depend on these things to at least some extent if not completely, the world is in a really difficult situation.

"What's at risk is not the planet, it will survive. What's at risk is us the humans"

I like that y'all decided to post this one on RU-vid, too. If there was ever a topic covered on this show to make widely available, this is it.

Thanks for the amazing context Vox

Thanks for sharing this informative content for free, amazing one.

" I have a guy that is good at explaining a problem, I need a guy that is good at explaining the solutions.'' - me

15:00 "Developed countries used all the fossil oil they wanted, but if developing countries do the same they'll be the villains".

Thanks for this video

Amazing piece of information.

It's just coincidence that oil men would wage war in oil rich land. Cause Brutus is an honorable man.

I was missing this kind of content from VOX. Amazing content

As much as I love the idea of clean energy, I won’t deny the obvious. Oil will still be in large scale use by 2050 and beyond.

Honest reporting much appreciated from Africa 👏

It’s unbelievable how the UK and their “queen” did all that damage to different countries around the world

'The planet will survive, what's at risk is us'. That's deep.

LOVEEE Vox! thanks for giving me access to education!

I find it difficult to understand how everyone on this planet is aware of global warming, but they choose to turn a blind eye, daily, to drive to work. Hoping that someone else will solve the problem 😔

Imagine if I "discovered" gold underneath your backyard and claimed it as mine...

For the record, India is the only major country achieving it's Paris Climate target. And also read India's Solar Mission, the developed countries might come to shame

very informative thank you!

“The end of oil explained” ….. they will produce more oil in 2030 than they do now. What a great video title!

Love Ethan Hawke's narration.

It got on my nerve when the lady was suggesting 'us' developed nations and 'they' developing nations. Hope she do know that these so called developed nations plunged, looted and wrecked havoc in creating the poor nations of today. Destiny has played the justice card so now the rich has to pay the poor for their survival.

Very informative. Learned a lot. I hope change is coming

As a Zimbabwean I can tell that a decade ago, our seasons started and ended at different times. Our seasons are now screw'd and we had nothing to do with it, neither did we benefit anything.

This is wonderful and so good! More please! I love how you frame the issue give context and bring in experts. And dive into solutions and their issues.

Thank you Vox for running this series on the wide-ranging effects the climate crisis will bring on us. Please keep it up.

this was eye-opening , and scary :S. thanks for making this content

Very very interesting and revealing.

Love the Explained series on Netflix and it's great you are sharing some on RU-vid as well!

I want to be optimistic, but my gut tells me we're all f**ked.

Great work!

End of oil is not possible under such a modern world that need development every time everywhere

Quality and informative videos such as these are needed educate people. Good work, Vox! 👍🏼

The fact that the government knew about the downsides for a long time and didn’t do anything makes me sad. But on a good note now we are improving it.

Thank you for sharing here since I don't have Netflix 👍

I'm glad you do comedies also.

"There is a lot being invested in the destruction of our world today." -Nnimmo Bassey

Thank you so much.......a very thoughtful essay.

Informative!

the docuseries i never wanted but the docuseries i needed

I’m blown away at what I learned in this video. Utterly shocked in some ways. Thank you to all who worked on this piece. 🙏

"We'll probably need to find other sources of energy and not rely completely on oil" US government: I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Excellent analysis and an important awareness report about global warming for all developed countries around the world.

Thank you

Thank you for this Vox.

Very concise and well elucidated, this can make good learning material on energy and climate change for schools...

It's so depressing how many people think climate change by human action is not real

thanks for writing this down

The explanation of the tube experiment at the beginning especially visually was extremely good

"me and my companions have a disease in hearts, and oil is the only cure"

Very well done documentary :)

Excelente documentário! Seria incrível se fosse legendado para ser mostrado nos ambientes escolares aqui do Brasil, pois precisamos estender essa causa para o máximo de pessoas possível.

Developed countries: going green with renewable energy and technology in their own backyard Also Developed countries: invest in fossil fuel overseas

I’m reading a book called, “Turning Oil Into Salt.” I recommend it if you’re interested in this topic.

Can't wait to get all the facts and everything 100%. Just have to start the journey

great content

14:16 Australia does NOT have a carbon tax, it HAD a carbon tax

Wow, I'm so happy seeing Nnimmo Bassey doing a documentary with Vox and Netflix. I see him in church every Sunday here in Nigeria.

30 seconds into the video and I'm already invested.
