Correct

we supposedly vote governments in because of what there policies are but behind closed doors they have there own agenda

That's why it's so hard to convince climate-change deniers, who have been fooled by a small number of scientists and other (especially right-wing) public figures - who are all part of a world-wide disinformation campaign funded by Koch, Shell, Exxon etc.

@@mudslid3 Governments pay lip service: "look we employ scientists to research climate change"! - then they do diddley squat about it. Maybe they are still in hock to the big industries who finance climate-change denial agendas and disinformation for their own profit!

@@PeterOzanne guess you have personally read the IPCC reports? Or did you just rely on the interpretation of a teenage girl and a Tabloid Journalist George Monbiot?

Makes me think the BBC have another agenda? 🤔

It's what news channels typically do, they question people.

@Shigetsu That's the technique broadcast news shows have been using for decades now. The BBC and other channels need to find a new format when they deal with the IPCC report and XR. However, the IPCC report has been provided to actual policy makers and I believe this will be brought forward to the next summit in December for practical measures. In a way, what the broadcast channels and youtube comments do are of little importance - other than allowing for venting. As long as practical measures are put in place. XR themselves are doing their best to let politicians know that they are being watched and need to include citizens in the decision-making - otherwise they will get protests against unexpected fuel tax rises as we saw in France. A citizens' assembly is crucial to make this process smoother, cooperative and inclusive.

rinnin it’s strange! I think the BBC try to hard to be “objective” in interviews like this and don’t advocate for simple things like saving the planet!! They are not entirely biased for example the David Attenborough documentary was on point!!

Spot on, seriously disturbing stuff. I felt like I was watching Fox News. Really sad that the BBC has come to this.

So demeaning... "And what do you do for a living?". What a joke.

The irony of course is that Emma is chained to the dogma and subtle propaganda model of the State broadcaster

Obviously not a kitchen sink- ah, the halcyon days....

Simon Maguire it’s the followers who are chaining themselves and getting arrested, and it’s the organizers who are getting paid to appear on TV and get book deals.

@@Chris-oz9qx Bit of a longwinded way to earn a crust. But surely a book deal and TV appearance is a good way to spread a message?

Why is 1750 the baseline?

@@timpala5841 because most people no not seem to realise that all IPCC reports except the latest used 1750 as the base line. The latest moved the goal posts to 1850, thus eliminating another 0.3 degrees of rise.

Tony Youens: I live between Canada & USA. I watch BBC and other British programs interview XR people and am constantly shocked at the way interviewers ask questions and then often shout over and interrupt the people before they can make their point. Its very sad when the issues involved may literally mean the difference between life and death. How can ordinary people access the truth under these conditions?

Wrong. Billions will die if they lose access to fossil fuels. Stop fearmongering.

@@elingrome5853 Did you miss the bit where if we get to 4C the worlds carrying capcity for humans is reduced by 6 or 7 billion? Never mind that that also involves wiping out most of the rest of the wildlife because we'll be using all the resource. We have other sources of energy and could transition off fossils in 20 years without any real difficulties at all. You are the one that's fearmongering, and trying to lock us into inevitable disaster. Change direction now and disaster can be avoided.

You’re attacking the wrong country. Britain has cut co2 emissions whilst China and India build new coal power stations and Brazil destroys the Amazon rainforest

@@chrisj9700 actualy XR is a worldwide movement and it needs all if not as many countryies as possible onboard and working towards better futures, why would China listen to a croud of english protesters that then go home and continue to pollute with no reaction. Idk if i wrote that the way I meant it but its like the saying 'practice what you preach' because if we dont then what reason would they have to do as we say? Just because we have made a bit of progress doesnt mean we can put our feet up and claim its not our issue anymore, we still have so much more to do.

Christopher Jennings China and India are making stuff for us. It’s still our problem we have just outsourced. Bit like us shipping all our plastic to poor nations and pretending we are doing really well with recycling

Add another 5 minutes to see that GHG emissions are again going through the roof despite more and more renewables going on stream. Add in the fact that over the past thirty years we only achieved a tiny dent in the growth of emission..and that was for less than a year!.. A depression or major recession is the only thing that has proven to work. Our economic system is killing us..

@@robvannNS I'm pretty sure that a major recession is on its way.

Then take 5 minutes to google that north and south poles go in hot cold in cycles. Its normal. Climate activists have no precis answers. No one does. They want to abandon economic growth and development for climate protection. Not even the IPCC suggest that. They are against 98% of all the energy sources on the planet. Using the remaining 2%, (wind and solar), and with no capabilities to store unreliable power, they expect to power the world, including 1 billion new electric cars requiring even more electricity from the grid. No one mentions that Co2 and temp have a logarithmic relationship. Even if CO2 continues to accelerate, the temperature will not increase at the same rate as the past. Ending fossil fuels today temp would still mean temperature rises since it stays in the atmosphere for 100s of years. In other words it’s already too late to do anything about what already is today. CO2 has gone from 0.03% to 0.04% in 200 yrs. Plants feed best at ~0.15% and why its pumped in to commercial greenhouses. Humans live in nuclear submarines up to ~0.4%. Rising seas are expected to be 50 cm in 80 yrs yet one third of Holland live ~5 m below sea level without a problem. Humans made the Earth 3% warmer because of 30% more co2, yet it's 15% greener which is never mentioned by MSM. The media also missed that last week 500 scientists and professionals in the field petitioned the UN insisting doomsday was not anywhere in the near future. Everyone is blames capitalism yet do not acknowledge the basic life indicators like freedom, poverty, literacy, life expectancy etc all have improved thanks to capitalism and carbon. Whilst regression is not a serious option because no-one is willing to give up their iphones, we are all hoping the patriarchal STEM fields to come up with a silver bullet. This panic on CO2 warming consuming the world whilst the real environmental problems like toxic pollution, over fishing or the 9 Asian rivers feeding 95% plastics in our oceans is being ignored. And to top if off it really doesnt help that the track record of alarmist doomsday climate warnings have been consistently wrong or exaggerated since the 60s. Climate policy needs to be based on sensible forecasts, realistic economics, and genuine concern for those most vulnerable in the developing world, not by costly and unnecessary virtue signaling attempts at mitigation in the west. Accelerating energy innovation, increasing resilience to extreme weather and reducing toxic waste does not require any agreement about climate science. It is just climate pragmatism, not climate panic.

And what of all the other scientists? It's in the records pal you can look them up yourself.

@@mudslid3 I have been on the front line for the past five years already, glad people are starting to catch up, its about time. XOX

Roll even... yes they thought they could skewer a crusty old greenie but she dominated them and forced the scientist to admit she is right.

@@philipocarroll Sarah was brilliant, but Myles said, and it was the panel's advice to Government, "there is a lot of science that backs up the very considerable risk we run". He did not balk at XR more pessimistic predictions.

@@doranamos9019 you frightened they get you a job

If you consider great swathes of land wiped out by drought induced wildfires, starving from multiple crop failures and the extinction of great numbers of marine species, people dying from heatwaves or thirst from lack of freshwater, while many major cities, islands and lowlands disappear under rising sea levels, plus wars over diminishing areas of habitable land to be a sort of disintegration, then yes.

It's the BBC. They long ago gave up any semblance of debate.

They are dodgy. they want a retareded version of communism.. but without the industry growth.. so what is that then?

XR is dodgy.

Actually I expected him to back the activist up more and he played the fence very well throughout the whole interview. Everyone is banging on about the interviewer. Study the responses of the scientist more closely. He didn't expound on any of the figures the extinction rebellion activist stated and he certainly was unwilling to support her cliam about the impending extinction of 6.5 billion people. It was a very interesting interview. I expected more stats from the scientists and he was really reserved. That's not the interviewers fault. I bet the extinction rebellion activist feels fairly cheated by the whole experience.

Because no scientist worth his salt would ever risk his/her reputation.

@@mudslid3 Christopher is talking about BBC my dear mUdz.

@Christopher Conlogue They just seemingly deny because it's a simple thing to do. Don't overlook the social finding, Christopher, that people are inherently optimistic even in the most shittiest situations. BBC probably wants to balance information from both sides, they just don't know how. (By the way, look, if this interview would have been seriously climate-catastrphy leaning, than there would be others suggesting the same thing as you do, just from the opposite side.)

They are funded by George Soro's Open Society Foundation. Funny how they never talk about geoengineering. Every weather event she sites has been man made and not by climate change.For example, it has been established that the fires in California were and are caused by PG&E. a Rothschild company. The banks that the properties mortgages are with are Rothschild. The insurance companies are Rothschild. So now we have a massive land grab as the banks wont lend on a property that isnt insured. Insurance companies wont supply cover because its a fire risk area and its a fire risk area because the power companies made it so.All of them Rothschild companies and lets not forget Mr Soros is their top puppet.

When you are on a citizens' assembly, you will get the opportunity to ask your question of experts in that particular field. If you want to get the chance to do that - support XR's demand for a citizens' assembly.

Windmills and solar panels are made out of unrecycleable plastic. You you don't need to be on a citezens assembly to ask that question.

@@davidmcnamara1108 You do if you want to ask it of experts in that particular field. They will be able to tell you the relative environmental costs and benefits to producing electricity using particular methods.

It's not possible to make windmills and solar panels without C02 or fossil fuels you don't need to be an expert. And now they want to put giant plastic windfarms at sea. Think about how they manufacture these. Windmills are anything but green and you don't need to be an expert.

@@davidmcnamara1108 Why are you so perturbed about bringing forward your questions, concerns and ideas to panels of experts on a citizens' assembly?

This is never talked about, and it's the reason to get on with the final debate: how to cope with the big curtain

Always?? Give me one example when there is consensus and when there is not.

Children are easily manipulated. You're old enough to know better.

I was on the barricades too this week. She was a bit strident, but what she said was mostly correct. She and Myles appeared to be in broad agreement on the science, which was great to hear. She did say half a billion, when it's actually 1 billion, but to be honest that's neither here not there if you get to that point. That 1-billion carrying capacity at 4C statement comes from Hans Jaochim Schellnhuber, a very eminent climate scientists at the Potsdam institute. Useful to have Roger's '6 billion dead' number explained as it did seem a bit OTT. And the net-zero by 2050 give us a 50:50 chance of staying under 1.5C is also correct - that's straight out of the IPCC. Kevin Anderson is good at explaining how those numbers work. Which part did you feel was unscientific? I do agree that people in XR do sometimes say things which are not supported by the science (usually going from 'X is possible' to 'X is inevitable', without properly explaining the caveats or the timescales). And I wish they wouldn't, but not everyone can be an expert. It was great to see Myles essentially supporting the movement, especially as he's at the more conservative end of climate scientist opinion AIUI.

. Wookey I don’t mean that she was saying anything which was strictly not correct. She just kept ignoring pretty much everything Myles and the moderator said and kept on the „our children are dying so burn capitalism“ line, which I personally don’t 100% agree with and I think is definitely a bad strategy in a big TV interview, especially if there’s a scientist sitting next to you and saying something different.

@@ninopreuss2549 To be fair the moderator pretty much ignored everything she said too :-) I don't know if you are familiar with Kevin Anderson but he is always rigorous with the science (and is a Climate scientists) but is very sceptical that financial incentives within the existing system can actually effect change fast enough. It was fine when we needed 4%/yr but now we need 12%/yr or so it gets really difficult. Still. I think we are pretty-much in agreement in that we'd prefer to do this without trying to overthrow capitalism _as well_ as decarbonise. I just hope it can be done in a useful timescale.

The facts are in the IPCC report. Available for anyone to read and strongly encouraged to do their own research and not listen to loud mouths on social media.

The IPCC is just another governed scheme by a political movement, no real merit in there outputs.

Makes me laugh. Their pathetic slow uptake, which is evident in this interview throughout, caught them with their pants down when just 18 months later the IPCC stated categorically that climate change is real and humans are at the root and branch of it!
