Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.
While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to save itself.
And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only sensible thing to do.
But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

“It’s dire, but not hopeless” I think is a good mindset for most serious problems in life
Easy for someone like you to say.

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
Joshua 1:8 NIV

that’s me when I start a 1500 words assignment 4 hours before the deadline. Yep…humanity is doomed.
They got a lot of things wrong in the video, for one carbon capture isn’t viable yet and is too expensive
Hey Click! Hoiiii
I love the fact that in this there’s a clear contrast from the last climate change video where things seemed a little bleak. But this shows everyone that we as humans are able to come together and fight for our planet!

@Joseph Stein lol they aren’t too different. I get you’re trying to focus on semantics, but focus on the actual topic Einstein.
@Pranav Old account did you watch the video ?
The planet doesnt need fighting for and will survive with or without us lol. We have to decide if we want a future with the planet.
I think the feeling of hopelessness is understandable when we talk about the political aspects of climate change. It’s not that we think humanity as a species is not capable of solving climate change, it’s just structurally difficult to pass any climate legislation when the fossil fuel industry has so much influence in government. As for me, I’m pessimistic in the short term but optimistic in the long term. More and more young people who care about this issue will become eligible to vote, and we’ll gradually win.
@ZenoTheMeano both is 2 , you listed 3 …..
I hope that there will be a major shift in political views and that current political views will completely disappear! I hope our species will start acting together instead of against each other
@john dalton it’s not about cutting your gas emissions to zero in one day, what you can actually do is find ways of reducing your energy demand or alternative sources and cut it down as you are able to.
I’ve always been of the position that even if the world is doomed, everything you can do to minimize harm to other people is a win nonetheless. But it’s good to know maybe the world isn’t entirely fucked.
I never thought the world would be doomed because of increases in technology and other things. Solar power is bad for the environment because heat, but we have other advances (like fusion).
Until we figure out the problem of money there will always be people who choose it over human life.
READ MY NAME!!!!!!!
!
I’m 30 and I have spent about 10 years in apathy, out of hopelessness.
I finally started trying to make things better recently.
Thank you for this video, it keeps me moving forward.
I’m glad you are
This is such a nice balance between the extremes of believing we’re all doomed and not believing in climate change at all
@Pyranders if done right and a bit of luck it will make you money. Almost like a car or yt could. So your point is invalid
@ECKtrain Crypto is not “burning” the world, stop exaggerating. Crypto allows for more economic freedom, eventually there be a more environmentally conscious service available. Crypto is much better for humanity than government controlled currency
@Pyranders So are all fiat currencies.
“Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I’m rich.”
-Daffy Duck
This quote pretty much sums up the mentality of a lot of the 1%. The fact that we’ve achieved any progress is nothing short of miraculous.
We CAN do this; we CAN be better. We WILL do better.
this is basically the big industry’s they wont care until the climate change starts affecting them
This
factual
I think an important thing I have realized lately is that we Will never get back what is lost but we can still save what is left. And that is reason enough not to just give up. Thank you for a meaningful video
I’ve always held hope despite so many others saying “kill humanity” “we suck” “we’re doomed” and such. This video has reinforced my beliefs and I thank you for that. Brightened my day just a bit
