Years of Living Dangerously Premiere Full Episode 

still in tivo

A theater release requires money. A youtube release is free. Instead, we can host community events/parties so that friends/family/community members can see it.

So well done! Thank you. .Can't wait for episode 2.

this is just incredibly sad and upsetting..and what can we do...?

Tothne Zsuzsanna Wake up your neighbors. Expose the next denialist that comes your way… and the one after that...

Tothne Zsuzsanna educate yourself on the topic as much as your time permits. speak to people that are more knowledgeable in the matter and whom you trust. then speak to people in your vicinity. if possible in your region, switch to carbon-neutral energy resources. don't fly long distance if not necessary. offset the carbon you can't avoid using websites such as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPass . But it's always better to avoid than to offset. But above all: be happy. being scared or sad helps nobody.

How can I see the episode with spanish subtitles??? I really want to see it!!!!

Half way through an animal ecology degree and the more I learn, the more I understand and the more horrified I am about what we are doing to this planet. My wonderful tutors, research scientists have mountains of scientific evidence and brilliant solutions to bring damaged ecosystems and species back from the brink. Yet the powers that be are corrupted by vested interests and lack the political will to implement change. How maddeningly frustrating it must be for scientists! So tragic that Homo sapiens so fatally flawed by our own greed will ultimately cause the demise of our own species.

"Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do..." "Space Oddity" -David Bowie

I'm a published scientist in this field. And I think we're fucked.

So true people feel powerless and do not realize as that as consumers we actually have the power to demand changes. But first we need to organize and come together on issues which is difficult when we are exposed to propaganda and mixed messages in mainstream media.

6 years later...there is always something taking our eye off teh ball as well. this year it's Covid 19. So...that's been a positive slowdown in the burn but it really helps us forget about the biggest threat.

Great

Thanks Arnold. Nice video #yearsoflivingdangerously

It's up to us to do something about that. Not just for us, but for our Children, Grandchildren and every life on the Planet.

***** Funny how the people who think this is a scam know nothing about interpreting temperatures....

Amy Funny how everyone who believes in this bullshit is Commie scum.

***** Damnit! thnx - lemme fix that - good thing I don't need good writing skills to make Flying videos :P

***** that was some loose interpretation of spelling words.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep...there's not a lot you can do about it.

googleisshittoss if everyone feels this way, then we are really screwed. Do you have kids? My daughter is turning 5, and seeing the world she'll be facing causes me stress regardless of how little I can or can not do about it.

***** People always have to have something to worry about. 30 years ago, it was Nuclear War...before that WW2..Before that WW1..We can all do our 'bit'..but, if the Planet is Changing (which it does)... walking to the Shops rather than driving, and recycling a few plastic Bottles wont do anything. Sorry, but thats just how it seems to me

What are you talking about?

Would it help to organize and discuss the smoke pollution in schools, hospitals, and community centers? When people realize everyone has a shared experience there is an opportunity to direct that human energy into action. Hopefully, people in Indonesia can also see that people buying the palm oil are concerned. It is possible to share the experience of the people in Indonesia with the concerned consumers of palm oil. We have to start talking.

***** Exactly. It is a serious problem for working families. Either the palm oil industry magically self-regulates itself, or the consumer takes on the burden of finding an alternative. Think of how much fun economists are having with our dilemma? What about the rich who profit from the palm oil industry. Who are they?

***** you're telling me. You people refuse to acknowledge the doomsday scenarios that were supposed to happen but didnt..

Ted John Noga You are getting your information from misinformed people. Try going to the actual source, learn to read a scientific paper, do your own research (and by that I mean RESEARCH, I don't mean reading some webpages put together by politicians backed by oil companies).

There is "Day After Tomorrow" but it is so blown out of proportion that it actually distances the viewer from the very real impacts of climate change. And it uses the "wise savages" trope in that people from developed countries are saved by people from developing countries at the end, where we know that quite the opposite is happening. People in developing countries are suffering the most and developed countries are trying to shut refugees out and pretend it's not our problem.

So true and some great solutions!

Not all people of the faith are like that luckily

@@leorobin832 Yeah, sadly it appears few people actually grow up, instead they get trapped within their little bubbles and anything outside of that bubble threatened them to no end and invites unhinged retaliation upon any one that tries.

@@citizenschallengeYT I think the reason they get trapped sometimes is because how hostile people can be about you thinking differently. This causes people to really guard themselves against the opposing side so they don't want to listen to them. This is 1 because they are against them and 2 they could be lying. When it comes to politics you never know who to trust and you have to be careful who you listen to cause the media lies a lot.

@@leorobin832 How about making honesty towards physical reality the highest standard? Unfortunately most have been taught that their EGO and Faith is the most important thing in creation. They encourage people to reject physical reality ad they encourage people to respond enraged to any questing of their faith. Also most harmful of all is many many of those people have elevated their own EGO to GOD status. Rejection the human wisdom that GOD is beyond human understanding and that the best petty humans can do is SHADOWPLAYS. That is not saying "God" does not exist - it's stating the obvious: GOD IS BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING !!! Accepting was poor word choice, should have been "considering" confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2020/02/accepting-fundamental-cosmic-truth.html confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-missing-key-gould.html

@@citizenschallengeYT not all churches preach to reject reality luckily. Mine doesn't but some churches just don't talk about it tho. They need to do that Kathrine is doing. She has the right idea that understanding science is understanding things about God. And yes people do need to accept the truth but sometimes it's hard for a multitude of reasons like politics were you don't know what the truth is. People really need to try to be more open on all sides that way we don't attack each other over differences. And God is totally beyond our understanding so people really need to be more open for that reason.

Borneo isn't one of Indonesia's islands. Only slightly more than half :D

Md Hadi Shafie Othman not slightly, it 3/4 of Borneo is indonesian's

tyowongndeso just over 63% so not reaching 75% :D

At the rate we Indonesians are destroying the forests there be nothing left of Borneo anyway.

Krishna Zulkarnain even if we (in Brunei) kept 80% of our forest (that's the target iirc - and I think we're at 85%) it's still small compared to the rest of Borneo, so I hope that stuff changes in Kalimantan. So much more can be done with the rainforest than just burning. Imagine all the potential for medicine, vaccines, and other applications all gone once a company comes in and burns it all.

My question also Kevin! how can we come together as concerned global citizens? I do my little bit with screening the ingredients in all the products I purchase. I've adopted a plant based diet. I sign online petitions but still I feel powerless. We are fighting against the incredible power and corruption of corporate interests to who pay off authorities, governments and scientists then spread misinformation in mainstream media. So difficult to overcome that. An immense challenge. We need more numbers to come together. How? We need intelligent altruistic charismatic leaders to unite people.

Free market. Protected by tax payer bailouts ?

@@allgoo1990 Corporate welfare or SOCIALISM 😮 Rugged capitalism for everyone else.

Me too

❤ Sadly for me palm oil is like god to the people here where it is grown we cant say anything bad for it. Die to its "economic gains" Its useless. Because they control everything. All foods have some amount of palm oil even FREAKING ICECREAM

+Abdullah Alsanea Yeah, I felt it was presented in an odd way as well. But the rich people also live on this planet, and will also face the consequences of our actions eventually. The main difference, is that they have the option to only feel it later. So let's not judge them too harshly, right? At least they're doing something. And it's something that needs to be done.

+Abdullah Alsanea I think your indignation is misplaced. Any attempts to dumb down climate change for the masses shouldn't be mocked... it almost seems like your making the argument that you aren't ready to make sacrifices if they aren't... which is a pretty bullshit attitude and absolutely beside the point. Climate change is real regardless of whomever taking head they use to stress the point.

+Abdullah Alsanea dude one airplane is not gonna make a difference. don't be sour like that. celebs may have all these stuff, but ad least there trying to do something, are u doing anything to help???? NO i don't think so.

and what energy company is paying your mortgage? The temps in Australia have been record highs - a new "norm" is being established. The rains are regional - most of the country is under severe draught unseen before. As for wild fires - seriously? LESS?! We moved from AZ because after having lived there nearly a decade the last few years were plagued by fires most of the year. Any scientists working on GCC say: you can't pick one area and make a definitive statement. Its the world overall that is getting hotter - some areas WILL get more rainfall.... others will get drier and drier.

Gary Myers What's your point about my mortgage? What have energy Co's to do with it? (Or is that an intended slur?) 1. It's Global warming, not Australian. Record cold in US, Britain, Europe. So what? No one argues it's not warmer today that is was 2 or 3 decades ago but here in Perth we have not reached temp high from 1977 (if I remember correctly). Unlike my childhood (70's) where 40-44 were not uncommon (and I think the 45 or was it 47 I saw in the records) it struggles to make it over 40 these days. Truth is global temp has been stable for around 17 years. If you climb a mountain to land on a plateau, if you walk 100 metres inland, you will be at the highest ever for the last 100 steps. Doesn't mean it's still going up. (ie. it's spin). When the BOM put out that we had max temp. not one capital or major city had it's max temp. Bit suss and they won't release how they worked it out. As for wild fires!! When mad green environmentalists prevent clearing or backburning and when more people are moving to bush settings (and the young kids who like starting fires) you have an 'environment' (sic) more prone to bush fires that gain attention or damage property and even life. However there is no evidence we have more bushfires. We've had much bigger fires many decades ago. Particularly the greenies preventing safe clearing and backburning means much more fuel for the fires that do start. Even the IPCC report admits there is little evidence for more fires or more storms. It's just hype and lies. Places have always got hotter, drier, wetter etc. Climate has always changed. No hard evidence we are having such a large effect. There did seem to be some good research that suggested land clearing of trees reduces rainfall. It's a pity the film mixes in some decent environmental concerns with the AGW tripe. Get past the slurs and take a gander at the dark side so you can consider both sides. 'One man seems to have made his point until the other comes and presents his side.'

Nathan Ellery Ok.... so go to Skeptical Science dot com.... if you really want to know the truth - EVERY question, every 'theory' about how its wrong, that climate change isn't real is covered there. Climate change is REAL, MAN is the cause. Period. End of story. Lets just agree to disagree. Some day you can look me up and send me an apology for being wrong - confusing the issue with non-science arguments from a non-scientist. Delaying actions. Making matters worse.

Gary, that you think opposing arguments come from non scientists tells me you've been sold a lie. I visit SkeptSci and I understand his relationship with Lewindowsky the psych who misrepresents others to try to paint them falsely. How about you visit Jo Nova and read about the corruption of real science. Matters are worse when we spend billions of dollars on non-problems and into the coffers of con-men like Al Gore and chinese solar panel makers whilst they pollute their own rivers with real pollution. It's not about computer models or theories, it's about real world data and the computer models have it massively wrong.

Temperatures haven't stayed the same.

Your intuition is correct. There is a disconnect between the science and creation of policy. The concerns of state politics, economics, international relations, and security have a larger voice than climate policy. The concerns of state politics, economics, international relations, and security have a larger monetary budget. Doing what is necessary will not be possible until the above mentioned priorities become altered within states. States have an understandable resistance to rapid alteration of priorities. The great tragedy is that states can only prepare to respond/react to calamities because they do not have the ability to prevent them. No state is sharing a real plan to prevent [continued] climate change because no one has a plan. We have a need for states to be agents of change that respond/act to prevent calamities [climate change events]. We do not have this capability. The citizens are burdened with the responsibility, and the risk of action. That is the reality of our situation. It is absurd how unprepared we are, and it is absurd we do not have large scale capability to prevent continued climate change. Truly, these are dangerous times.

Chris Mclean Nevermind the dangerous times... We know what the problem is - we know the cause of the problem & hence we should act... I don't like this 'making things public' idea soo much, because most people aren't smart or realize that things - 'the system' - don't have to remain as is & can\must be changed... Plus I see them talking but not doing what I believe should be done in order to fix things... I would not go to the Governor(was that what he said? =]) - I would get my head of state to go to their head of state about it etc... I honestly KNOW that we no longer need gasoline etc engines(I see car manufacturers talk about new efficient\hybrid engines & I know they're full of it, because I know they could go straight electric but are holding back because of what not needing gas would mean to economies etc)& I'm sure with the correct data can figure out ways to sort out our 'needs' which leads to deforestation(& even maybe how to deal with the green house gases) - but the MONEY system HAS to no longer be BEFORE we can make things better... & not after seeing this video - I feel bad about what mankind is doing to itself, for the sake of MONEY... In the end I say - mankind's system, way of thinking, values etc needs an update(to 1.1 or what have you)...

I agree, but scientists are often told not to say what to do with this knowledge, and leave that in the hands of politicians. Well there is a major problem when e.g. the USA has 50% of the politicians not believing there is a problem in the first place. Other than that the IPCC report actually contains 3 documents, the last installment soon to be released will be for policymakers about ways to solve these problems.

Marvin Connell OK. Lets see if I understand you correctly? You are advocating for what is called a "top-down" approach to policy creation by having the head of state initiate policy changes. You also advocate for changing economic policy. Lets talk about how that works. I use the United States as an example of a state. The US, like all states [nations] that I am aware of, are beholden to the "power," and "security" of economic "interests." This means the business policy of powerful multi-national corporations [of which, most have interlocking boards of directors to navigate their business policy]. The interconnectedness of corporations is a very interesting development if you consider that, in the US, a company has legally protected rights equivalent to those of a citizen. Furthermore, in the US, our Courts upheld the ability of wealthy donors to buy votes [political support], in mass quantity for elected officials. When it is possible to "buy" and "lobby" elected officials to promote your business interests, how then can a divided electorate compete [they cannot]? If we assume the political "power" in the US is with corporate business interests why would poor citizens bother organizing to enact climate policy change that will not be politically supported? Should multi-national corporations have the responsibility to alter the politics of a state to create climate change policy? I do believe they hold most of the political "options." How do we proceed when greed is the currency of politics? Certainly, our values and social systems are inadequate to function with climate change. Do we have time to change social systems? What if we cannot agree on those changes? Then we are left with compromises and altered greed based systems with some irrational hope that we will survive? Will that be good enough for future generations?

Chris Mclean Firstly - none of the political aspects matter to me... I am not talking politics - I am talking about saving our World... I acknowledge there is a serious problem that needs solving & I am willing to take the necessary steps to solve it - whole heartedly, unlike most people... I acknowledge that the gasoline(etc), palm tree etc businesses are the main source of our problem, that we should & can put a stop to their use, & the only reason we don't stop consumption is mainly because of our dependency on the money system... & being the person I am, I think we should just do what is necessary... I don't want to discuss what we have time to change - WE MUST\NEED TO CHANGE(it's not an option) - I want to start making changes(present my ideas & have them reviewed & implemented accordingly)... About me - I don't use cold medicine like 'normal' people... From my knowledge in school I began consuming vitamin C about 3 times a day since 2005 & hence average .625 colds a year(some years, No Colds... Instead of doing what everyone else does - what I was taught to do - I came up with my own idea & it works... That is what mankind needs - not to continue doing what we were taught to do, but to change how we think & operate so as to obtain better results... Chris - I am an idea man... I observe, I assess, I come up with ideas, solutions etc... I cant & wont talk politics with you - especially since it doesn't matter to me or on the whole... All that matters is our World's survival... We should be willing to do whatever it takes for that to happen & we Must Start, by changing what hinders us most, & that is our Money system... That is the main reason why nothing is TRULY being done about global warming...

She shows true devotion to God and all his creatures, and that always includes working for the best possible environment for all. I'm no longer a Christian, but I appreciate true Christian devotion whenever it (rarely) appears.

Yup. And we need to tell these Christians that it was commanded by God himself that we take care of what he gave us. We were entrusted to do so.

Jesus was a Jew.

Brian Emerick That is the best 4-syllable reply...Jesus a Jew, who likely studied with Essene masters in Egypt and with Hindu and Buddhist masters in India and realized his own divinity, as can each human. Let's be responsible for our roles as creators.

@Welfed Ted. I was raised a Jew you moron (no longer part of the faith). My comments about anti-Evolution & "Creationism" or what the CHRISTIAN movement has called "Intelligent Design" are the idiots that are going around claiming the earth is really 6000 years old and that Evolution is not a proven theory. Most Jews accept the theory of evolution. I can't say the same for Muslims. But I don't see Jews nor Muslim groups trying to get their "theories" of Creation or "Intelligent Design" into public science classrooms. That's ALL being done by CHRISTIANS!! So, please....save me your fake outrage. Because it is CHRISTIANS here in THIS country that were responsible for allowing slavery to exist & a whole host of other craziness (burning witches, etc).

such as the supporters of skynet?

LOL

Sarah Connor There is no fate but what we make.

This was an extraordinary interview done by Thomas Friedman, and so gutsy.

Yes, I am trying to grow my own food...fruits and veggies, here in Pittsburgh, PA, but we didn't get enough rain...used up all the rain water from my rain barrels and even with mulch...didn't get a good harvest. My neighbor supplemented his garden with irrigation tubing from the hose and he had a great harvest...but what happens when there is no supplemental water to use??? Follow the money & power is essential to understanding this problem...Big Oil will not give up it's strangle-hold on US or the world.

Margie Pegher absolute bullshit. Pa has one of the highest water tables. I live in shippensburg pa we got plenty of rain water without a rain barrel to grow crops hell the farmers around here don't irrigate one bit...

June & July were really rainy (soggy), but by the time things took and dried out...I was into Aug. with limited rain..Sept is usually more rainy but it was more dry. I plant a lot in pots and raised beds, so they tend to dry out more quickly. All I know is that I would empty my rain barrel and then wait and wait, while in years past I had to add another rain barrel. I am glad that Shippensburg had a good growing season 2013 and I hope that this summer is good for all. My point in sharing my personal experience was that it is easy to say to people to just grow your own, but it is in the "doing" that we are reminded of our dependence on 'mother' earth and we are at the mercy of the climate and weather. Also of importance to note that there are a lot of people who live in apartments and in the city with little room for gardens...there is a great need for community gardens and for buying locally grown food. We must acknowledge our interdependence on each other and the earth that sustains us.

Margie Pegher fair enough and true.

Happy Spring, Ted John Noga.

***** You really don't understand this science?

Seems the latter. Maybe this show should be called the SHIT Hitting The Fan.

Not to mention the indonesia situation.. SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD

If these people truly understood their own religion they would realize that their god gave them free choice to make good or bad decisions. Fuck, that's the foundation of their fucking religion and they're too dense to realize it. Science doesn't disprove god, and if anything it simply explains their god's creation. So if God gave people free choice, and those choices are destroying the planet, let's keep making bad choices because it's God's creation? That doesn't even make sense.

Viennery Totally agreed. That's why it's so difficult to me to understand these beliefs. I am a catholic but I'm no closed minded. I know we have free choices and we are here to learn. It's not like I kill someone and said: Oh God make it happen or it was mean to be. Pff...

jimeca Surely, any rational concept of God must start with creation through the Natural Laws, such as the workings of simple chemistry. Once upon a time, this was a Divine Mystery that we were supposed to learn through trial and error and learning from our mistakes so that we could learn to live responsibly. These 'people', who are not sapiens but potential sapiens, are certainly not God respecting Christians. They are trying to create Hell on Earth. They treat God as if He should be some kind of obedient pet to their egos, allowing them to do what the hell they want and then protecting them from the consequences of their egotistical actions. It is hardly the Christian concept of altruism and the fight against human egoism but of course, this is the easiest lie to sell to the lowest common denominator.

First thing that came to my mind. Methane from red meat production. I am actually quite embarassed for the team; ignorance.

***** and this means what? you would see there are scientists here too, if you watched it

Hmm? Human ignorance is always a serious threat [a historical enemy of the people]. When public citizens cannot objectively evaluate science, technology, policy, politics, or risks it is already too late. We are in the process of destroying ourselves. This is an era of "damage control." Look at the international politics surrounding the Syrian conflict as an example of our future. Areas doomed by climate change will not be saved or protected. They will be monitored, controlled, and contained. Refugee's will be allowed, war will be tolerated, and mass death will be common. Other state governments cannot tolerate a peer being destroyed by rebellions because that would be dangerous for the continuity of other states. So it will go on. There will be more Syrian conflicts. More death. And more entrenchment of....I'll call them "systems." Ordinary people will simply have to be extraordinary "empathic" [compassionate, empathetic, sympathetic, humane], diplomats themselves. Or we can bury each other.
