We will survive, but All people? No, because of climate change, billions will die due to most civilisations being on coasts, islands that aren’t that above seawater, most the places will turn to deserts and have frequent droughts. Most countries having wars for migration. So much shit is gonna head to us, but hey! At least some people will live even if it’s probably some 2 billion left or smth.
@yuusuf jama ww3 seems cringe and improbably considering that it would explode the planet. Another cold war or an totally revoulution in a few decades is much more probably. The worls could explode next day, but at the end of time, our will is that what really meters. Keep up educating and improving, because is always possible to make a better day tomorrow (fuck that's so cringe i know, but is true)
I work for a fruit/vegetable company. It’s scary to see how food we throw away. All because it has some small defects, that are still edible. But because it isn’t perfect, we throw it away. We westerners are spoiled to shit when it comes to food.

@@shoelicker the world has always been full of problems, for humans. honestly the world itself has only one problem, that it has been fighting a war since it was formed.

@@steveweast475 And the only reason we have that much food to waste is also because of capitalism. Unfortunately, we haven't really figured a best of both worlds solution yet, and likely never will.
@@andrewlechner6343 so you're saying the population would just let itself starve? Without capitalism we would still be working on making more food and distributing that food properly to everyone, same outcome but this time no food is wasted and hopefully everyone is properly fed.
Boomers didn't start the fire but they're responsible for not putting it out. The first degree of warming caused by the earlier generations and it's effects was much less destructive than 2 and likely 3 are going to be. People don't understand the apololyptic nightmare 2.5 degrees of warming will be.
A lot of people who want the collapse to happen forget that it's not like a video game. Unless you're a nurse/medical professional you don't have good care if you get hurt. Sure, you can learn to tend to yourself but it will be equivalent to 1800's medicine. Speaking of medicine, that's almost all gone unless you've stocked up in excess or have the capability to make your own. Instead of Fallout, a post-fall world would be more akin to the Book of Eli.
An important note: there was actually a lot more trade between the Soviet Union and US than many think. The majority of corn and many other cereals in the USSR from the Presidium era onwards were imported directly from the US and imports only really slowed during the Reagan era (and even then if I remember correctly they weren't entirely halted.)
Just shows what a joke USSR was- more than enough land to feed its people and then some, yet they stood in line all day for a loaf of bread and imported food from the evil capitalists, and finally worshipped McDonalds like some God when it came to S.U
Sure, our current issues may become worse, but this isn't reason for a doomer outlook. We're already working on solutions to a lot of these issues and there is no reason to believe we can't overcome this like we have with other problems before.
@Just some guy without a name the main issue with global warming is the fact that fixing it simply isn't profitable. And by the time it's gotten bad enough to disrupt our systems such that fixing it _would_ be profitable, it will already be too late.
@@ukaszwalczak1154 global warming is not nearly an apocalyptic concern to us. I'd even say the hidden agendas and people pushing it could harm more people (ie: the closing of coal and nuclear plants in Europe when people could very realistically freeze to death without them) & worse case scene? We adapt and build new shit on the new coasts. War is probably one of the bigger ones to worry about
I have no doubt the world is in for some turbulent (or as the Chinese say, "interesting") times but I have a good feeling most of us will make it and it will be grueling and hard but necessary. Heck! My grandparents and my great-grandmother, along with my parents and their respective families, made it through the colonial era of Nigeria, our civil war, military juntas, the cold war, and even I made it through the 2000s, the great recession, the SARS, Ebola, Avian flu pandemics, and much more. We humans are a stubborn and resilient species and many of us have experienced so serious stuff and I am damn sure we will survive what's coming, Amen.😊😊
I think the biggest problem with immigration is that it only exists to be exploited by corporations. Companies either can't, or won't raise wages with inflation, so they need to bring in people who will tolerate harsh work conditions and low to medium wages. The problem with this is that it's not sustainable. The immigrants who move to developed nations will also have fewer children, because they won't be able to afford to. It's just an endless cycle of using people, one that bringing more people in won't solve. (At least not forever.)
It's not really about that I think. The immigrants that move to new countries are actually more likely to start businesses than natives. You say it like all immigrants are poor, desperate people that are in need of salvation from their corporate exploiters. No, they are independent souls. If they want work, have children or not, it's their own choice. As long as there's no welfare state, then really why not?
@@kyzantia8884 Hardly any inhabitants of any country today is a true native. Really, what we see as native, in the sense that some people have a right to be in a country (territory, really) while others do not, is a matter of conquest, and conquest alone. If, for example, the United States was taken over by some distant future warlords, then the people that conquered would, given 50 - 250 years, become natives as well.
For deglobalization, you forgot the biggest issue driving it. Automation. We've always been in love with trading with China and similar countries for low labor costs, but much of the products we've been making with those countries are being automated, eliminating the need for trade. Good points otherwise
Ye but as long as trade ties stay good it just won’t be profitable to automate at home. It will always be easier to pay a Chinese worker or Indonesian worker than an American. And soon China (if they don’t mess it up) will be in the exact same situation as us. A lot of people see them as a rising power but they are in one of the most precarious situations right now.
@@donaldtrumplover2254 most of the products we get from China can literally be 3D printed from your house with your own personal computer. It's just that most people don't know how to do that yet. But the technology is already there just waiting for people to use it.
@@nylondaimon He's right. There are automated factories in China that do work for American companies. Paying the Chinese engineers and CNC guys is still cheaper because the machines still need to be maintained and controlled.
Machines will always be more expensive than human labor and as long as the US makes American labor more expensive either minimum wage, and makes Chinese labor cheaper by not restricting their trade when they tack tariffs on American products. Our manufacturing base is in China because our politicians don't get anymore votes for keeping the jobs in America, but they will get a sweet paycheck from the Chinese if they make jobs over there.
These aren't the only problems though. There are also a LOT of social issues that will come crashing down when things get tough. General happiness in developed nations is at an all time low and so is trust in authorities. Suicide rates have skyrocketed and loneliness has reached over 40%.
Yeah for real. I think a big thing a lot of people are kind of glossing over when talking about... humans overcoming, and civilisation continuing, etc etc. is that all the social groundwork that is fundamental in ensuring our survival is being excavated and destroyed. Humans are being driven further and further apart from each other, both in a physical sense and in a socio-political one. They are depressed, lonely, nihilistic and there is no widespread value of community, or sense of faith (not purely organised religion but faith in others)... the nations that will survive are the ones self sufficient and continuing on as it is meant to be, which is all for one another. The ‘developed’ nations are probably gonna get it really bad when we eventually realise we can’t make it on our own and that a single-minded attitude is gonna land you dead. Individualistic mindsets are so dangerous, but everyone is becoming self obsessed and failing to learn how to connect to one another on an essential level. I just think things are spinning out of control...
It's an issue that not many are talking about or even come to notice, but it does seem like near all countries, even developed nations in the 1st world, are under corrupt, polarizing ineptocracies. Going through discussions made by people anywhere in the world, they are complaining about the same socio-political problems. When you have Swedes, Germans, Hungarians, Moroccans, Malians, Zimbabweans, Iranians, Indonesians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Americans, Canadians, Koreans, etc. all complaining simultaneously that their government is filled with corrupt autocratic imbeciles, you know there's a problem on a global scale. There's always been stable nations, less stable nations and downright unstable nations; but now almost all countries, developed or not, are undergoing a severe crisis of social trust practically at the same rate.
@@smellylorenny It goes against the whole concept of a civilisation, ironically. It's every man for himself until you realise you can just form a group with a bunch of people and help each other.

It’s important to note that our generation grew up in a time of unusual peace. This level of global activity isn’t very unusual. Be stoic, tough it out - we’ll be stronger that way.
13:47 That's actually much closer than most people realize. Taking carbon out of the air is already entirely possible. The problem with it is that it's very energy intensive. As more and more advanced energy generation methods become available and drive down the cost of energy they will make carbon recapture more and more viable. This is especially true for something like solar. Normally the issue with solar is not solar itself, but its intermittency. The problem is indirect, on the side of energy storage rather than generation. This is why a fully renewable grid is still a long ways off. Guaranteed power whenever you need it is a necessity for the grid. However, this is a problem that carbon recapture is entirely free of. The devices for taking carbon from the atmosphere can simply be allowed to run whenever the energy is there. There is no need for them to run nonstop. This makes solar very viable as it is already, in a vacuum, quite cheap and only getting cheaper. All you have to do is brute force it by spamming solar panels and carbon capturing machines. It's actually possible that this method could even one day be profitable in using that captured carbon to make synthetically produced hydrocarbons. In other words, having net neutral fossil fuels by way of mass recycling and reuse of what already exists in the atmosphere. Unfortunately other forms of pollution such as plastic and chemical dumping into waters are significantly more difficult to undo.

Agreed, too many people dismiss the empending climate crisis because, "things like this have already happened, so there is nothing to worry about". a few very obvious things wrong with that statement: 1. Since our ongoing issues are unquestionably man-made, this could have been entirely avoidable, or at the very least mitigated. Anyone saying that this is like any other enviornmental change is being dishonest. 2. People are misunderstanding the scale of the issue, its not a matter of the planet slightly increasing in tempreture. Most animal species are dying out, this includes overlooked animals like insects, birds, and fish, which contribute a lot to the eco-system along with many intermediary species that move between territories and land masses. Water levels and tempretures are rising, which is going to make our lives much more miserable, as many people have seen in 2022, people in the world simultaneously experienced unpreccedented droughts AND floods, making food growth even more challenging for a large global population. 3. Rare minerals are going to run out in the future, and FAST, so any tech solutions people are pointing to may become obsolete. Yes, this includes nuclear energy. Our society is not prepared for this level of scarcity given that we operate in an economic structured that is designed to maximize enviornmental exploitation for profits.

The accidents were because of poor law implementation of the government can't blame itself for implementing laws blaming it on such a reliable technology isn't the way. After all nuclear power in use will still kill less people than “direct” worker deaths producing energy with fossil fuels.

Being 17 but living in a very climate aware family it’s crazy to me that people are still so uneducated in this like it should be at the front of our priorities but it isn’t
The really funny one with organic food is that (assuming some metrics I read from 5 years ago still hold up), the net environmental impact is typically far worse than factory farming. The processes removed to make it “organic” just shift the resource burden toward a vastly more water and land intensive process for the equivalent caloric output. One can make coherent arguments against the methods organic farming avoids, but it’s a position on the ethics of technology rather than an environmentalist stance.

“Why does Sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don’t they know it’s the end of the world. Cause you don’t love me anymore.” Skeeter Davis
Organic food still has a negative impact on the environment because it requires more land and resources to produce less food. That said, its significantly more nutritious for your body, due to those extra resource, less harmful pesticides, and more attention required to prevent crop failure.
And doesn`t exhausts the ground's ability to grow even something. Fertilisers can only do so much if the ground is already... death. The Amazonas - the part made into farmland is a good example. The ground there is in most regions surprisingly poor and only the natural cycle keeps anything growing. Fire clearing can only do so much. And after this the former farmland becomes grazing land for cattle.
@@CaptainHelion Yeah, lately there's been a lot of "actually livestock taking up more space than farmland doesn't matter because land used for grazing isn't good enough anyways", but that's just a convenient way to stop people from wondering how the land got that way in the first place.
As a farmer and people saying going vegan is helpful it isn't. You can raise more livestock per acre than grain (a full cow,pig and a few chickens and turkeys feed my family of 6 for a year.) The solution to it is local farms (local means less fuel). It also helps is urban sprawl is controlled and trees replanted. In town public transportation is possible and you can go electric right now (unless it's cold for electric as batteries do not like the cold at all) where farmers can't go electric as easy as we are 24/7 no time to charge, no time to wait and not very convenient in the middle of a feild
Porsche is working on a synthetic fuel made from carbon in the atmosphere. They're planning on running their racing teams on it. Hopefully it catches on. Also I think you're underselling how much more efficient we could be if our current food production wasn't so wasteful. Even simply using electrified trains instead of semi trucks to ship food would drastically cut the carbon footprint of food production (assuming diversified power production instead of just a coal burning plant).
@@homeyworkey to my understanding, methane (cow farts) is only 10-15% of greenhouse gasses presentin the atmosphere. Over 70% is carbon dioxide. The majority of that co2 is produced from energy production and transportation. So using non carbon based power production and electric trains should cut down significantly by itself
@@Southerly93keep in mind that cow burps (the actual main methane source resulting from fermenting grass in the stomach) isn't the only source of emissions from keep cows alive. Cows need food, most of them aren't grazing in an unfertilized grassy field, but being provided grains & silage either in the barn or pasture, feed isn't produced without carbon emissions, lots of fertilizer and tractors involved, not to mention heating & ventilation of the barn, antibiotics and medical care. This isn't to say that electrifying the transportation of agricultural products with low carbon electricity won't make a big difference, just that cow burps & farts isn't the only source of emissions involved with keeping ruminants alive.
Does Porche's fancy fuel somehow *trap* carbon and make sure it's not just released right back into the atmosphere within a few years? Because that's waaay harder than people realize. Options include marshland, putting carbon trapped in water through some special rocks, greenery more generally but trees n' things might still release it too quickly long-term...
Some points to consider, if we put on our optimist hats today :) Deglobalization- Will not be as big of a deal as you make it out to be. Yes, more people in the USA want the US to stop being the worlds police however, many will compromise that on keeping global trade. Plus the majority of people advocating for deglobalization are of older age as young people increasingly are aware of and support international integration. What I see is globalization slowly picking pace back up after its shutdown in 2020 and disruptions in 2021 and a bit of 2022; over the course of the next decade or two. Demographics- huge issue especially in Europe and China. However, all eyes should be on Japan as they will emerge from a demographic collapse 1st and with a sudden huge surplus of goods there is potential for post demographic countries to undergo a massive economic boom. Climate Change- The worst issue of all as we will never get rid of fossil fuels. However, in developed countries the push for greener technology and especially energy will dampen the effects of warming as already we have avoided the worst of the worst of warming. Climate refugees will become a problem in the next few decades and could create a large immigrant backlash however, with baby boomers at that point either being gone or 90 years old it won't be as large as we saw post 9/11.
Deglobalization started not in 2020, it's where it became very political, but in 2009 after global financial crisis. In 08 trade has peaked as % of World GDP and was on downward trend ever since. Paul Krugman has an interesting take on why that may be the case -- basically as manufacturing technologies improve the need for shipping things around the World from poor to rich and back becomes disadvantageous compared to closer manufacturing.
I have to disagree with you on young people wanting international integration. A young person myself, seeing the pain the government is inflicting on the populous by not hampering the national self-sufficiency is definitely going to make younger people be against globalization.
They're not 100% perfect solutions, but I think there are SOME solutions to the carbon-heavy farming. Agrivoltaics, for example, is at least a growing industry. Solar panels over certain crops not only power the farms, but provides shade to said crops, AND the moisture the crops give in the shade help keep the solar panels cool. The science is still in the early stages of development, but it looks promising. There's also something to be said about supporting more local farming, and farmers markets (if it's an option for you). I've been buying meat from my local farmer's market and they've barely been affected by the gas price crisis because their meat is from a farm only an hour's drive away. It's fresher, and not wrapped in plastic, so creating less waste. Again, to be clear, neither of these are perfect solutions that will solve everything, but it's a start.
