5:48 Oh youre wrong there.

The Planet is going to take care of itself... We just wont be around to see the result

[irwainnornossa]

Damn, things are really serious when there is no sponsor spot.

Thank you Second Thought for putting the biggest challenge and issue of this century, the climate crisis, upfront on your YouTube channel. It is important to educate people on this subject and you are doing it really well!

I have heard it so often and from all sides. I am basically just watching the ship sink at this point, not sure if we are even willing to change enough to fix it, it certainly doesn't seem that way. I think humans will die off at a high rate as well sooner or later, no extinction, but when the farming systems collapses, ... buckle in.

Earth is like Minecraft skyblock if you loose it once its gone FOREVER

"Survival of the fittest" is a misleading phrase. Once there are no more foods for the mighty, they'll surely go extinct.

2030 goal?, you are dreaming. We are screwed.

I honestly feel that the planet will take care of itself eventually, if we are a part of that is up to us.


we're not killing the planet, we're making it inhospitable to ourselves

I think it’s just mostly based on convenience. That’s why Amazon did so well. Although it’s sad, a lot of people simply don’t care enough to put in a lot of effort to help the Earth. Take plastic bags for example. People use them not because they really want to, but because they’re there and no one wants to carry a bunch of shopping bags into a store. Many people just don’t care enough to try to change things.

Seeing all of that trash In the ocean hurts.

We've had five mass extinctions, each caused by an extinction entity -
Now it's time for number six. - Higgs Monaghan

If global warming could have ended by doing comments if would have been done by now

The cause of our Mass Extinction
would be the memes from r/NoahGetTheBoat

[shlomio]

This should be number one in trending. People need to wake up!

[Timotheeee]

we need thorium, fusion, lab grown meat, indoor farming and a better alternative to plastic. technology is advancing exponentially so it can be done

[iseriouslycouldntfindagood]

Even after Australia's latest disaster of Bush fires very little to nothing is being done about it

This video reminds me about Chapter 3 in Sapiens, 'A brief history of humankind'. It is a great read! Will definitely recommend it!

human parents are the sole perpetrators of the sixth mass extinction. each and every last parent needs to be held directly responsible and accountable. there is no amount of shame too harsh; there is no forgiveness for the unending cruelty they “unwittingly” (mindlessly) set in motion
