SO SAD….. when was this video made? A while ago? and by the way there have been plenty of famines, and wars, that killed millions of people since 1968
Stop fishing for salmon for 10 years. It will come back
Planned Obsolescence? Just look around, everything is broken 🥺
You will own nothing and be happy
We are a plague to this poor planet ,we need to regulate how many children a person can have this is truly disgusting in so many ways ,these animals and creatures have every right to be here as we do 😢
Over half population of the United States will become homeless the future looks bleak
Life as we know it will end in spring 2036.Astro will hit earth at 40,000 miles an hour.
Don't worry… Earth will reclaim us all…
P.S. New species are Discovererd DAILY
More propaganda!
It's Fukushima that's killing everything and it hasn't stopped… The fishing season after the accident fisherman returned with nothing… I remember one of them saying that the Pacific ocean was void of life… All of the tide pools along the west coast were dead too… We're cutting are own throats… Nuclear energy might burn clean but disposing of the waste water and spent rods is a real mess… And we have no way to recover from a accident when things go bad… All you have to do is look to see that's true… Russia just covered up their mistake again once they discovered it was leaking and Japan sent robots in to their reactor room… I'm not sure how long they lasted before they melted but just the fact they melted says a lot… They say we're going to lose a lot of our coast to global warming and that just happens to be where all our Nuclear plants are located… God help us
The human machine is designed to self destruct. Some know it and choose to avoid it and some choose to deny it. But most are blind to it.
The wealthy who have destroyed this planet are also the ones who built underground cities to escape the Destruction and death they caused
There possibly is no polar bears koala bears squirrels monkeys dragonflies butterflies dogs birds,, the list goes on and on anywhere else in the universe
The planet will survive as a fune ball of dirt but 80% of the species that live on it will not be. I have a problem with losing all of our iconic and beloved animals when this is the only place we know any of these exist
THAT IS A LIE FROM HELL!
Quit shipping our resources to those who want us destroyed. Or giving our resources to those that won't do for themselves. Give one a fish, they eat for a day. Teach one to fish, and they eat for a lifetime.
China
It’s not too many people, it’s the colonial corporate greedy mono cropping, and extraordinary pollution that goes unchecked.
Thank you donors
actually mis management of rivers is to blame
Ah, the beauty of pride and greed at its finest.
Yet, each of these “preachers”most likely had children.
Earth contains plenty of resources for far more than 8 billion people. The problem is that people are inherently corrupt and wasteful (wasting food and overindulgence), especially countries like the U.S., don't believe me? A simple online search will open your eyes.
Companies are aware of this, and they exploit it for the sake of profit. Just cardboard alone is a billion-dollar industry and mostly for the wants of people rather than needs. If all people managed their resources carefully, something that will never be with our current psychological disposition, then there would be plenty of everything for everybody for millennia and beyond.
The key is changing human nature, something that I doubt most people even consider. And something that we are far far away from accomplishing as a whole.
I know you already know but
"There's indeed no planet B" .
@3:29.. 4.2% of the Earths population (the U.S.) uses 25% of the Earths resources.. 344 Million of 8 Billion use 25%!.. That's what he's talking about.. That's why he said 5 more Earths.. This Planet can Not sustain that indefinitely.. I read 1000+ comments.. Many in the comments are missing that point……. Believe it or not, the U.S. Is An Empire.. (i.e. "The Empire State Building" think about that).. And it is Consuming ("consumers") Way More than it's fair share.. Empires Rise, and Empires Fall.. Look at history.. Hold on tight.. We're almost there……. Yeah I know, I get it, I live here too, in Texas, and I like my life.. That don't change that facts though.. We're close.. Y'all Take Care :^)
It's very apparent we didn't take on the warning
Your full it .
It's so frustrating that people are not responding in a strong enough way to the threats we are facing with our rapidly warming planet. Instead, people are harping on the border, hairstyles and closing drag shows, as if those things are so much more dire. From what I've seen, reacting to the warming climate is about 100 years too late, anyway.
All the bugs on your windshield are gone. Anyone notice? What are the birds supposed to eat? Much less birds as well.
Get these companies and governments to stop
