I hate to say it but we aren't going to get anything done about this. We have discussed this all my life, yet action has been minimal.

[danielvalleduarte]

I like how our politicians are allowed to threaten our lives, and not vice versa.

[kimberlychappell]

They signed a virtual suicide pact and are determined to take the world with them. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Umm in case there's a human out there who didn't know...🗣 THIS IS WHY WE HAVE OR HAD TREES! Countries have literally destroyed the tree canopies that stopped soil erosion, absorbed carbon, and served as natural umbrellas.

Politicians do what we allow them to do, I don't see people rise up. Everyone keeps using AC, eating factory farmed meat and poultry, consuming marine farmed fish, exotic fruit, coco, coffee, kiwi, avocado, palm oil, lithium, concrete, rare earths, living in huge homes, driving around in SUVs, flying, cruising in motor yachts, buying new phones laptops etc, buying fast fashion, cosmetics, heating homes to 25°C... Gee, what do you expect politicians to do?

We will see 100 million climate refugees coming across our border to escape drought and monster storm s in Central America.

Who said humans are the most intelligent animal on the planet? What other animal would take out all life with themselves? Only humans.

If you're going to tell oil companies to jump in the lake, you'd better hurry -- those are drying up fast.

Truth tellers like Guy McPherson aren’t allowed on these shows anymore. Keep everyone in the dark

The problem with ebikes and electric cars is how the electricity is generated

[DanA-nluo]

We need Rank choice voting to end the ff owned duopoly

[adamhbrennan]

Electric automobiles don’t mean much until we get the grid to be (mostly) based on sustainable energy sources…

[fellsmoke]

Bill Micibben is wrong...in our corporate plutocracy of unrestrained corporate capitalism in which the market rules it is not possible...only in a system with a planned economy such as the Chinese one is it a tangible possiblity

[kevinsievers]

Hey owns a coal company and has made MILLIONS!!!

[XX-gyue]

in Pakistan people are being slowly cooked to death, who could survive temperatures of 122° ?

[DanA-nluo]

Democratic party leadership is why Joe Manchin chairs the energy committee it is a sign of what the party leadership wants. The solution is rank choice voting

[brendab.]

Go Manchin! Someone needs to rein in the run away spending. He may be doing it for his own purposes, but they need to stop throwing our tax dollars around.

It is time to restructure and reform the US political system, the People need more than 2 political parties, the People need more choices . The American People will activate change and create a better System that is in place now.

Glad Bill McKibben is talking about the next El Nino and record temperatures as this is not being talked about enough. We are at a nasty stage with food supplies this year reducing supplies for the coming year going into a potentially El Nino year. Autumn 2022 could be bad but 2023 and 2024 could be much worse.
