Our democracy should represent the interests of the people — interests like a safe climate and healthy environment. But today, our democracy is in peril as a handful of extremist politicians and corporations put up barriers to silence our voices based on what we look like or where we live. Following a record-setting 2020 election with an unprecedented number of votes cast, we have seen efforts to overturn a free and fair election, violent attack on peaceful transition of power, and a coordinated surge in racist voter suppression. This faction of extremist politicians who want nothing more than to return to the Jim Crow era will stop at nothing to gain power.
Idiots have no boarder, is everywhere
The same leaders who claim they worry about climate change as they provoke putin in hopes he will launch his nukes 🤔
end fossil fuels and the georgia guide stones will come true but thats the plan
Liberals do this to drown out the people who are standing up against the Democrats terrorist behavior
These damn morons protesting all they need to do is what ive been doing put your A/c on full blast and have the windows opened ive notice its been cooler since ive started doing this 2 month's ago and remember when u burn plastic burn it at night when its cooler together we can save the planet, i will not stand by and do nothing watching our planet suffer
dont they increaseclimate change by protesting and delaying traffic?
Man we had a big ole fire in our fire pit last night. Probably will again tonight. We will have our fireplace rolling all winter which keeps our electric bill down. I own about 200 acres so wood is. It an issue. We also have a gas well on my property and I have a lifetime contract for free gas so we use about every gas appliance we can. We use wood and gas freely. My brother in law has a open coal seam on his property and he heats his home (and has for over 25 years)with coal and it saves him a ton of money. If we have a cold winter I will get some from him too. It’s free and burns really even and slow. We don’t care what these climate freaks say or think. We will always use the resources that God has given us. Climate freaks can lick my boots.
It’s over we’re done, stop saying we can save the top of this planet we can’t! We can’t even slow down the climate heating up earth top layer. How are you me us going to convince 6.6 billion people to stop buying gasoline today, tomorrow 5.5 billion gallons of gasoline will burn, then the next day, same! Hell, most will use more gasoline today then yesterday! Here in Northern California 400,000 drivers will travel to work in the Bay Area about 50 miles up to 200 miles to work one person in every car every day of the work week, then 300,000 cars on interstate I80 up to 250 RT San Francisco to Lake Tahoe just for the day or weekend. Yea, right we’re going to stop climate change, stop the excessive heat waves. You won’t get out of your car, but you want the government to save you. Hell, the Republicans want you to keep buying gasoline. We’re doomed.
I hope none of these protesters drive home, turn on the lights, charge their phone, cook dinner, watch TV, do laundry or dishes.
These all take fossil fuels….
Anytime I find a link or even a YouTube video that says climate change is an exaggeration, my YouTube comment either gets deleted or shadow banned. Obviously they don't like a real debate on this issue and obviously they control the narrative, especially with 5G and the use of AI Technology. Censorship has rapidly increased with AI technology and 5G.
Bla, bla, bla……
Just "give up" on fossil fuels.
Stop going to your restaurants, stop shopping, stop travelling……. Stop being the problem and stop supporting and upholding the fossil fuels you protest. All the fossil fuels you want stopped are in everything you purchase, wear, and eat. If you want to stop fossil fuels then just "STOP". Change your life.
If they can't make money off of it they won't make it. In the end it will always only be up to you.
Humans are missing the point looking at climate-change like it's some enemy that we have to fight.
We do not have a climate change issue to fight. That's just scapegoating for the ego intensified humans.
This climate change is yet again simply one more symptom….. that would not exist if our species were not on this planet…..that we are trying to pass the buck on.
The world…'earth'…. doesn't have plastic problems. Doesn't have food insecurity problems. Doesn't have coral reef problems. Doesn't lack funding for these problems?? Doesn't have Forest problems. Doesn't have fish problems…… Just human egos. Just a greed and profit human society that is the backbone foundation that creates these explosive symptoms. We humans are doing this. Not the Dolphins. Not the elephants. Not the hummingbirds. The ONLY fix is to change humanity. The detestable society it created. With its gods and shopping and holidays and sports….yadda, yadda, yadda……all fake ego crap. There is an us-against-them mentality around every corner to keep us on our toes and competitive. Yes, that is your every waking moment. That is how much time you spend destroying the planet with your meaningless garbage ego crap……. Every…waking…moment.
Quit trying to fix the climate (and making it worse) when the only problem that needs fixing is the human race.
And this unfortunately is not fixable. There won't be a climate 'diet pill' made for you here.
People will fight change with everything inside of them. They will go to war over change.
So don't talk about changing anything, unless you want to feel good about yourself and uselessly vote for a government (whatever??) that's going to fix the world for you like a diet pill you fat gluttonous consumer pig.
This is the real fight…. The enemy of climate change is staring you in the mirror. The battleground is your lifestyle.
Don't look up.
Mother nature is on their side. Like most pollution we'll keep on denying and politicking around doing anything it until its impossible to ignore. Though no doubt a lot more animal species are going to go extinct. Mass relocation and fights over water are coming down the line inevitably. We'll see what else.
One would think 8 billion people and rising depending on a planet with a constant climate would not want to turn the stove knob up and see what happens.
Its too bad I have to be part of this experiment in human stupidity because I haaaate being hot 🔥🥵🔥
for those Protesters Man cannot change Nature ,man will destroy every thing , God is always in Charge , for the woman who said( I do not want to die , YOU HAVE TO DIE ONE DAY , STOP WASTING TIME DEMONSTRATING,
What a mess humanity is in. Without fossil fuels 8 billion humans cannot be provided for. Our civilization is so utterly dependent on this stuff. Windmills, solar panels and stuff cannot save us. (see Michael Moore's movie, "Planet of the Humans." ). But continuing to burn fossil fuels will surely WRECK THE CLIMATE. Sheesh. Time is running out before it's out of humanity's hands and accelerated climate change goes exponential. There's no way out! The second half of this century is going to be chaos and the 22nd century Mad Max. It's all going to be ghastly. You lucky old people. You'll live out your lives at the pinniacle of human civilzation before the climate holocaust.
How dare you! “Greta turdburg”
This video: we talked to scientists and this year's the hottest it's been for like 120,000 years.
Concerned people: wish we took care of each other instead of focus on things like money.
Somehow commenters on the internet who i hope are bots: NO YOU'RE DUMB AND A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE SCIENCE GAVE YOU CARS AND PHONES CHECKMATE I BET YOU SUCK AT SCIENCE
If these protesters want to end fossil fuels, then they need to live off the grid and start making their own clothing and grow their own food. If they are currently using fossil fuels in their clothing or daily products, then they are hypocrites that don't understand the modern world they live in. They will be the first to cry about living off the grid and want fossil fuels back.
As soon as these people stop using ALL petroleum based products in their own lives (everything they touch, use and own) is made from petroleum, was made with energy using petroleum or was harvested and cultivated with petroleum products) then they can demand we all stop benefiting from its use. Hypocrisy I know your name and see your mobs. Ignore these morons.
Go live on a island in the middle of the ocean and leave the United States, eat raw uncooked foods and sleep on the ground!
we need to plan for the fall out
the end is upon us
the government has to prepare for this disaster
locally and nationally
the soviet scare did not happen
the climate disaster is happening
christian americans are acting like those in noahs day
they are warned and warned
the will not listen they are not listening now
( https://youtu.be/AqrfeUqcNMY?feature=shared )
enjoy as the end draws nigh
These rich oil babies are truly a stupid breed. They are burning us and them right into hell.
Arrest time
I'm ready go extinct because you not changing fast enough
Kids: IT'S YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR WORLD! The FUTURE or this? IT'S UP TO YOU!!🚀🛸
Climate change may be due to human actions or from the laws of nature arranged by God .
Watch the world burn
What a bunch of idiots
Jim Crow Joe just blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline that led to the largest emission of methane gas in history the biggest eco terror act in history. The biggest polluter in the world is the USA military! We have 8000 Abrams tanks each tank takes 60 gallons of diesel per hour cross country. We spend $20 billion on air conditioning for the troops make it make sense. We have 800 some say 900 bases around the world.
Climate change is now abrupt, exponential, and irreversible. The scientist's predictive models were flawed and phenomena predicted to occur in 2100 is happening now except with greater frequency and severity. People are generally unaware that right now climate change is killing them and by 2030 there won't be a single human being remaining. Yet, people continue to have their heads up their rear ends and won't lift a finger to save Life.
🤡
Its funny that they never protest in countries like china or russia that destroy the evironment tens times as much as the usa or england maybe cause they know that we are the only places stupid enough to let them protest and through them in jail right away for disrupting the public
The REAL PROBLEM with this CULT, is that not only do it's adherents do things to try to show their virtue and make themselves feel validated they DEMAND that all of humanity sacrifice and suffer with lower living standards and less freedom to make the CULTISTS satisfied that their religious demands are being met.
❌❌❌ Say NO to the Climate Cult! ❌❌❌
Uneducated buffoons!!!
Wow I wonder if anything good at all ever comes out of New York?
Did these people drive there? Turn there AC OFF during Hot Summer? Stroll their baby around in a stroller? (Rubber wheels and plastic) Plan on not turning their HEAT on this winter? Don't drive to see grandma this xmas or Thanksgiving! Quit demanding things made of or drive with. We can all go back to the cave man days if you REALLY want to stop climate change. Hmmm, don't see any of them doing that!
It better not be like England. The just stop oil is awful.
Man if only we lived in a world that cared about the many rather than the few. World is garbage and will continue to be so until we listen to science and care for each other. Instead we allow wealth to be grossly accumulated and destroy the planet. Love it
Climate change protesters creating more co2
No matter how positive I can try and be these multi trillion oil and plastic companies aren’t going to stop doing what they’re doing the old men that run them don’t give a damn and will never actually stop and that’s the sad truth that the media won’t ever say
Better not paint the banners with petroleum-based paint then. Oh, if you're wearing clothes made of synthetic materials, take them off because chances are, they are also made of oil.
