George Monbiot on Journalism, Politics and the Climate Crisis
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
Describing the environmental crisis as the greatest challenge humankind has ever confronted, George Monbiot has been trying to raise the profile of a wide range of desperately neglected environmental issues for the last 37 years. Yet these issues are almost always marginalised and overlooked. Despite it often feeling like banging his head against a wall, he refuses to stop trying, however faint...

    Last year a woman who lives in my neighbourhood near downtown Montreal shows me a 1st edition of 1984 that she found in someone's belongings. I immediately was thrilled to have it in my hands and wondered if she would let me read it. Sadly, the only thing of concern for her was not reading it but how much she could get for it. I never saw it again.

    This is the essay I have read at this time every year since I discovered it in the closing years of last century. It reminds me of the importance of nature and the need to resist tyranny. Orwell at his insightful, illustrative and inspiring best. The mention of 'lockdown' in the notes is fitting. The single, most criminal act ever perpetrated. There was no tentative emergence from lockdown for me because I never locked-down. I never wore a mask and have not had any of the experimental mRNA injections.

    ZERO, Co 2 a trace gas, statistically it's amt is so small you'd be correct to say there is none in our atmosphere. The oceans produce nearly all of that trace (0.00036 by vol) Amt. If it were a planet warmer, logic would dictate you'd look there first. But no one looks there at all. Nope it's solely man and cow farts responsible, even though we produce trace amts of the tiny trace amt. What then should become apparent is this ain't about global warming. It's paidfor political propaganda, seeking more taxes, wealth re-distribution and liberties lost. Tipping buckets, heating jars, phoney factoid charts are all war ning signs of the rabid fraud contained in all these political paid for productions. Why would anyone use such presentations like tippy shit, hot jars and these phoney charts? If it's global warming let's compare worlds. One with nearly 100% co2 atmosphere, say Mars . Certainly th is will make warming predictions easy as pie, no need to be wrong 100% of the time, like now. Mars well It's over heated to -80 to -200 on average. Toasty.

    George hinted towards the beginning about agriculture, but didn’t drive the point home. It’s animal agriculture that’s the problem. It uses 83% of ag land. We could easily rewild, save water, stop ecosystem destruction and habitat loss, species extinction, etc., if we all chose to adopt, to the greatest extent possible, a plant based diet, preferably 100%. Everyone in the audience, if they are serious about wanting to do something, could do that today, right now. Everything else is just inspiring babble and possibility pontification.

    • @davidhilderman
      @davidhilderman 10 месяцев назад

      The ag land used is not arable. You can't use 90% of land used for grazing animals for crops. This is why that land is used for cattle. Find yourself a cattle rancher and learn a few things. No cattle rancher in Canada would put cattle on pasture land that could be tilled for wheat.

    Cohen is a vile commie and now he's been cancelled for inappropriate activity. What a suprise.

    Dear God, if i didnt look at the date on this video, I would have thought it was released yesterday. It is the greatest tragedy of the century that no one listened to Peter Hitchens at the time. In this speech, they were laughing at him. No one is laughing now.

    Animal farm is one of my favourite books. 1984 was a prophecy.

    Throughout this series of videos, the interviewer talks too much and interrupts Richard Blair far too often.

    I worry that Orwell would have recognised George Monniot as Big Brother

    Has George Mobiot ever made a profit (he seems to dislike profit )? What houses has he bought (seems to dislike big houses that the rich buy) . How many mafia crimes in Freeport's has he reported to police or.customs (must be numerous?).

    Man of wisdom. 13 years on and we still have the same issue. 13 years of the Conservative part on power. They have added to the cultural and demographic revolution occurring here.

    Did unwell George Orwell's T.B. get 1,984 times worse because of a Voodoo curse that cast his young bride Sonia as his live-in nurse?

    Thanks for this. Orwell taught me how to be honest and how to prepare tea. Love from Mississippi, USA.

    Leftism by Erik Von Kuenneldt Leddihn explains perfectly the black void at the heart of this movement
