If govts around the world listened to Jeremy Rifkin we’d be out of this economic crisis in no time

Interesting to watch. But none of what he's saying makes sense. He's extremely optimistic in spreading solar panels everywhere, but hides the huge impacts of their production as well as the fact that there's no way we can produce as many in such a short time. Coal is still the fastest growing source of energy in the world. He's also using fake figures : "nuclear plants use 40% of the fresh water in France". I checked : it's actually 40% of "all the fresh water that is used for industrial purpose"... which is definitely not the same. This speech is way too enthusiastic. People wanna believe in it, so they don't have to change anything in their way of life... not good.

His vision of the future is horrible. I don't want to share my car. But I might be FORCED to share because owning one's own car may be more than most people can afford since we will all be so poor we will have to share everything and nobody will have any money because nobody will have any money to pay you with. Instead, you borrow their stuff and they borrow your stuff. This may sound like paradise to a younger generation left out in the economic cold by the current economic system, but I predict living in a sharing economy will get old fast.

1:19:25 he did very good answering this question...but I feel bad for the microphone lol

Thank you for putting this video out to the public !

This man intelligence in fightening, in a good way. There is soo much fear in the world at the moment as the old system fails that 90% of people are not even aware on the new system coming.... that has been happening right before there eyes...

So glad to hear this talk. I will share it with as many people as I can.

What about the criminals, the greedy, the evil, what, they no longer exist in this utopia?

With an uncertain future this is history in the making…

Great information ~ Thank you Prof Rifkin. France should stop stealing from the 14 Franco Countries in Africa and stand on their own feet. People should stop depending on eating animals, that would calm their behaviour; live a longer life and Brazil could then stop burning the precious forest.

Jeremy says "Do we need to militarize the world when everyone is producing sun and wind and sharing some love and surpluses with each other? NEVER "

What a riveting introduction. ,painful, yet accurate

Life on earth won't die. Just human life and the ecosystems as we know it will drastically change with many species going extinct

What an insight dead near crying to the world. Buddha never idles away.

I’m 66. I get it, but it’s scary. I just wish there was a clear path to understand how to progress.

amazing!

"Green new deal" and "agenda 2030" read almost identical, except for the depopulation part.

excellent

is there a printed script? thx 4 links ;-)

Why does this video show no likes or dislikes but over 105,000 views?

Great insightful talk; however he mentions car sharing - just take the bus or train (BYD, TGV).

05:00

So interesting, such an incredible brain

Lies with a little bit of truth, textbook conman.

Profesor, what about the effect of the pandemic in all of this? You have been talking about the third industrial rev and this green new deal but how can all of this be archieved with this pandemic issues? Please tell me 😣

Texas February 2021: wind turbines frozen and solar panels covered in snow and no power grid... people having to switch on their petrol cars to power their smartphones from the cigarette lighter. We’re getting to 2028 but they’ll be humps on the way.

I bet he travelled by plane to the conference

...just thinka very sober George Carlin and you have this man...

Feels like we're beginning to realise we're part of a planet's consciousphere.

The fact that there’s 8 billion people on the planet and only 100k have seen this

I'm way on the right... But I agree with everything this man says. We can have free energy it's up to us

If you listened right to the end he talks about solar power liberating poor people in Africa. I believe he may be referring to the charity Energise Africa.

YOU NEEED A BECOME A WORKER IN A MINE FOREVER

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

4:56 the man begins !

we are not evolutionary though .,, but we are given resources 🧠 power to save ourselves from extinction

This is why I own guns I’ll never own a electric car

Not so long ago we have been tainted anarchists while talking about exactly this! It comes bitterly because we should have been acting more consequent in the late 70s and 80s against the wall of "experts", "certified entities", "media" and the law enforcement protecting the establishment rather than justice. I remember all my friends having lost their lives as environmentalists but I am not giving up into hate and aggression. The 6th human extinction is more likely to happen than this egoistic and egomaniac world is going to change for good. It will not, although it's our duty to keep trying until the end. Terms such as the sharing economy or industrial revolution won't go far because we had similar terms for 200 years already and didn't serve although tangible results confirmed the collective outcome and its sustainability. But as long as the dump recalling social policies communism and the environment movements troublemakers you can make the equation yourself.

No!

NOOOOO...

that was hilarious at the end when the PA system came on for the second time lmao, "ok goodnight everybody"

So Saudis are right to get paid in gold. They are investing in solar like crazy.

No

The earth's orbit is an elipse, getting further from the sun ever slightly.

Its crazy reading these comments and realizing just how many people are stuck looking at the world and its interconnectivity with such a small lense. Nitpicking how perfectly right or wrong people are about the severity of the changes that are about to occur to this planet is like staring at a grain of sand while on a beach. My friend, we ate through our procrastination buffer. Shits here and its happening now. if our atmosphere and environment change a new species will replace us and I'm not trying to get eaten by Monsanto's carbon feeding, genetically modified killer plant human hybrids.

The short answer is NO!!!

Why does he say "...snow in Guadalajara Mexico this summer, huge ice sheets". Maybe so, but there's a big difference between snow and huge ice sheets. I've heard a lot of fanciful language from climate alarmists. I just didn't expect it from Mr. Rifkin.

No.

Ester. Mozzi

Hopefully not

Everyone remember the earth goes threw hot and cold times . The earth’s magnetic north always moves. Many many times have the polar caps melted before man . So think review historians.

I would not want to be subject to Rifkin's hostility at the beginning of his lectures (turn off your phones, photographers to the back!), but I laugh every time he does it to folks having watched him so often

The internet of things - does this refer to integration of 5G everywhere? Might be good for communication - smart everything - but what is the impact on health?

we haven't seen nothing yet

One problem, the sun doesn't always shine, and the wind doesn't constantly blow. Both solar, and wind are not maintaince free, and currently not efficient enough, to produce themselves. Nuclear is far more efficient, much safer than ever, and runs at night, in the rain, and when the wind doesn't blow.

The answer is simple. Humans need to go back to living like we did before cars and airplanes were invented. Oil is the great Curse. Horse and buggie time again. The Amish knew it all along. There are no shortcuts. Globalisation must End. Everything needs to go back to Local-- Local economies, local food production, and local energy production is what will save us. The industrial Era has failed everyone, except the Billionaires. Outsourcing is highly destructive. Transporting everything from one continent to another makes pollution 20 to 100 times worse. Monoculture farming is inefficient and has proven to create new diseases and pest infestations. Genetic engineering is already resulting in inferior crops, not improved ones. This madness caused by Greed must Stop.

It’s been written. It is and about to be DONE 🙏🏼

Sharing , block chain n circular great ...the energy and car pooling all good. Why when you spoke of the sharing you still (like before focused in on toys mainly). It has to be everything. Within reasons of hygiene like not reusable menstruation pads obvs. But handbags, clothes (fast fashion is so detrimental), books, furniture, bicycles, household goods; want a change swap sets plates with someon ...why not they're perfectly okay to clean n reuse, we have to stop buying new (especially on the cheap n ruin our planet and exploit workers for a "change" for a thrill ....🤨) IKEA n H&M etc should be REGULATED or shut down. Planned obsolescence MUST be stopped. If we could make a light bulb with filaments that still work 100 years ago...we must be able to make mobiles n laptops that work or can be upgraded n repaired NOT chucked in favour of a new one within a couple of years. I really tried since my first mobile 1995 (my first excavation and had to leave my young daughter for a period and would not be living with access to a landline) to make them last. It's difficult. Had to replace battery n by the end had two to swap. It was quite a brick. By 1998/99 xmas I got the 2nd, a slim Ericsson flip, this one was so full of soil so many times I really am amazed how long it lasted 😁 Then an Ericsson camera phone spring 2003 with 3G and video calls got same for my eldest as her 1st phone. We were supposed to be able to video call each other...meh didn't work so well😒. But that phone still lasted quite well. My daughter also dropped hers all the time n thing survived 😲 incredible. Think it was late 2006 I got another black with keyboard; indestructible like the Nokia from round same time; that became my youngest 1st phone (bless she had the worst of her friends until...I got her a Huawei in 2016). By 2011/12 another 2nd hand, it had a flip out keyboard, then 2013 again xmas I got an HTC😖 smart phone, but it was rubbish🙁. So by summer 2014 I got my 1st experia (it still lit up a while ago and it was nice to look at old memories😌), after I got a 2nd hand experia 2016 bc it had an excellent camera. My 1st n only digital camera from 2002 had died (was left w a Polaroid n old my 1st Minolta with reusable flash from the 80:ies, 1st was a Kodak with flash cubes😂). So fr 2016 this 2nd hand lasted until 2018 when it just shut down. Tried to revive it few times with the help of a nice Indian man on KZfaq but it got to annoying. So since I'd bought a Huawei in 16 as my daughters first new phone I got the same on sale 1 year after for me xmas 2017/8. This one was incomprehensible poor quality, dunno why but my daughter's was better despite being same model n year older🧐. So when mine shut down n as opposed to the 2nd hand experia would NOT 🤨show any sign of life..at ALL...lost photos..everything😥😖😒🥺 I got a 2nd hand, almost new, galaxy for my daughter as a present n took over her Hawaii. This one lasted fr xmas 16/17:until spring 2019. When I got another 2nd hand (1year old Samsung again) for me. It still working but needs a battery soon. See this is just an example but especially the more recent HTC n Huawei...are rubbish n the old phones lasted forever. Tech gets better n can do more but deteriorates faster ...our first PC from 95 lasted until 2001 when I got a mac in greenish blue, that lasted until 2006 when I got a laptop bc of work n the next in 13. Generally tech is just breaking or becoming outdated non repairable or updatable too fast...I think this must change. It's such a resource waste😬🤯🤦‍♀️

Watch Thorium 2011 Please! Then research it yourself this green revolution is not sustainable. Watch the documentary Planet of Humans regarding the sustainability of this green revolution. I love slot of what Jeremy says except the energy part there is another way it's just been suppressed.

nwo

This is what people should be watching, not that stupid Planet of the Humans.

The gamy budget supply stop because ceramic neurophysiologically connect across a chunky packet. mellow, left daniel

This sounds like fascism

Life on earth isnt in danger

We live in a. Country where any of this is possible at the state or even county/city level. Now one is stopping municipalities from doing this. So the simple fact that no state has done and or tried this shows something. The argument is that if we give total control of our federal government to other governments then we can have green society. That is false or it would have succeeded somewhere by now.

I used to think this man was genius now I see him as NWO puppet

I am going to bet this is stupid. I might be wrong.

His bad grammar puts me off.

Arrest anyone eating meat or driving gas cars. Simple. Just kidding.

The volume of gasses and its proportion in the atmosphere has not increased so significantly to make any change in life on earth ! Co2 is not a pollutant but needed as plant food to feed the people ; the historical starting records of temp and storms over long periods of time are pure guesswork . We must not presume devastation without correct scientific records

When nuclear energy fuels our productivity Earth will be cleaner. When TRANSAQUA in initiated in Africa the No American won’t have dust blown from the Sahara🤗

The thinkable yugoslavian archaeologically wash because station conversly obtain up a telling fog. female fertile, mean quality

Nice joke you're pulling off there.

a modern day Elmer Gantry

Well spoken snake oil salesman!

OMG this guy is such a clown. Must be why the video of his from 2017 has its comments turned off.

Zero Carbon, not net zero. Don't make me laugh. What a pinhead. He was always a pinhead.
