Hey Goodhumans! This was one of the most requested episodes we’ve had. It was also one of the toughest to tackle for our team, but deeply illuminating for us as well. We hope the same for you. Here at Jubilee, we believe in the value of open & honest discussions in order to pave a path towards empathy and develop a better understanding of people with different perspectives. Capturing the complexity and deeper nuances of a topic in a short period is incredibly difficult. However, we hope this discussion can inspire you to dive deeper and spark your own conversations. We’d love to be a part of it and hear your own insights below, so please share 🙂

One side is arguing about life or death while the other side is worried about inconvenience.

Blonde lady in a nutshell: "I know you have evidence and facts, but I have beliefs so we're even"

When you realized all the skeptics are old people who will die before anything drastic happens during their lifetime

Blonde lady: "an eco-friendly lifestyle is so expensive, take my lifestyle as an example..." Anybody with common sense: "are you living an eco-friendly lifestyle though?" Blonde Lady : "no"

"Im a scientist" "well Im not a scientist but i know a lot"

Lady: I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy Man: I'm literally a scientist lol

"The United States is held more responsible", well yes, it was the ONLY country who came out of the Paris treaty which was a small step towards addressing the issue, not Russia, not China, US!

"I'd like to bring up my concern about china again" how did jubilee get my grandpa on camera

"I'm not a climate scientist but I know a lot of them." That was probably the most Donald Trump thing i've ever heard a human being say.

“My friend has a successful business that was later found to be harmful to public health and now he’s out of business!! This is not fair!!”

I laughed out loud when she said "threats to western civilization" that really was one of those phases that tells you everything about a person.

Small suggestion: Start doing Jubilee video's with people from all around the world, not only Americans. That would really show all kinds of perspectives throughout the world. I understand the quality of the video's would go down as not everyone can speak as fluently as natives but it would really add another layer of depth to see and hear the opinions of people on other parts of the globe :)

Andrew seems like the kind of guy who would pretend to be a Christian but is really an atheist.

Michael: Socialism James: China Keith: The Constitution

I find it a bit selfish on how skeptics feel suppressed by the fact that they have to start making better choices because of climate change and don't think twice of how we are also affecting different species that also have the right to live in a sustainable world.

Interviewer: "I believe global warming should be our number one concern." Karen: "No, Socialism."

“I’m not a climate scientist, but I know a lot of them.” She said to a LITERAL climate scientist

Skeptics: "what about my choice" Y'all aint gonna get a choice for anything when we're all dead

A debate cannot be had when one side refuses to accept basic reality and scientific fact. And we didn't make this a political issue. They did.

Sometimes I have faith in humanity, then I watch videos like this and that faith dies because people are awful

The main three points skeptics rely on: 1. China 2. The money 3. Our Constitution Smh no wonder why our environment is going down the drain..there is way too much greed🤦‍♀️

a summary: i don’t want the world to end and will make sacrifices vs i don’t want to spend money

I live in Belgium and there have currently been catastrophic inundations because of climate change. Homes were destroyed, villages were underwater, people drowed, people died. Even though all of this happened nowhere near where I lived, some children in my school did. While I was having the best holiday in spain, I got emailed by the school. While a student was in summer camp, she fell into the river, she was swept away by the current of the river and found by a farmer, dead in a field, far away from where she was last seen. She was only 14. And I am now watching a pair of old people gambling on and on about how none of this is true, that this extremely brutal climate change is just natural? They are the generation who started to destroy our earth, and they are still shamelessly continuing to do so. While they have fulfilled there "destiny" and lived there life, because of their ignorance and their selfishness, young people pay the priceof their actions, the future of humanity is dying. And I'm beginning to think, maybe a world without humanity would be a better world.

I feel so bad for the climate activists! 😅 imagine the level of patience they have to not shout at the other side.🤣🤭

The one guy was like "Im an actual environmental scientist" , and the blonde chick tried to combat his factual experience with anecdotal "evidence". Lmao WHAT?

“i’m not a climate scientist but i know a lot them”, she said..... to an actual, educated climate scientist

Keith entered the wrong debate. He was asked to participate in a climate change debate but everyone one of his inputs was him just going on a tangent about the American constitution.

these episodes always present a stark difference in intelligence and factual information between the two sides.

News flash: the dying earth does't care about the constitution

“when the last tree is cut down, the last river is polluted, the last species goes extinct, you’ll realize that you can’t eat money.”

"My uncle was an asbestos panel dealer, and when they banned asbestos he lost his business" Pretty much the equivalent to the trucker argument.

Based on my observation, i think the winner of this debate is from the activist who have given facts and viable solutions in their statements while the skeptics have their feelings to use as their main argument

old guy: “we need to have a middle ground on this” there can’t be a middle ground when everyone’s DEAD

I just wanna know where jubilee found people who don’t think that climate change is real

I'm only 22 seconds into the video, but I can already say: do you want to be able to breathe on this planet freely and live the life we wish to live? Then yes, sometimes you have to do things you might not want to do, which is trying to protect our planet. If we go on like this and give people the choice whether to try to help our planet or not despite thinking "eh future generations might not have a healthy planet like that but hey, I don't want to do this because it's too much work and there's no chance in my lifetime it could result into something worse", we're not going to have something sustainable for future generations. Come on people.

I would love to see an updated version of this video, considering the fact that things have become more dire. I wonder if any of the skeptics have changed their minds?

Why did I already expect the skeptical people to be old 😩😭🤦🏾‍♀️

“As a professional climate scientist who has done this for fifty years, I’m afraid you’re not correct” ahhhhaaaaaa

This video is the reason why I majored in geology and would like to study atmospheric sciences. thank you Don

This is weird, I feel it is interesting that there were divided opinions, but I feel extremely sad that there are people unwilling to bend their arm the slightest to help this planet thrive.

“I’m not a climate scientist but I know a lot of them” oKAY Michael 🙄

"I've studied" vs "I've heard"

The dude complaining about taking their money and “putting it towards something I’m not even going to use or benefit from” needs a reality check. Where does he think his Social Security came from? The people paying for his Social Security are not going to have Social Security when they need it, yet we are still required to pay into it. Welcome to real life.

As an activist, I had a hard time not attempting to throw hands with these boomers.

Hardest "Try Not to Get Mad" challenge ever.

Is it just me or do the climate change skeptics seem selfish? Like bruh, our earth is dying and all you care about is money? “When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money.”

"But China" is not an argument.

50 years in the future: “Sure the planet is destroyed, but let me tell you how great our economy was 50 years ago”

*As a professional climate scientist, who has done this for 50 years.... I’m afraid your not correct* He just stated the facts 😂

'Humans have no effect on the planet" Industrial Revolution: Am I a joke to you?

Much respect to Natalie, Andrew and Don!

I just did a binge watch of a few episodes of Jubilee debates and I think it does a GREAT disservice to the viewer and the participants to not show a unedited version of these conversations. For those who can’t sit through long videos they could upload these small clips (don’t totally agree with that because your not getting the whole picture) along with the full clip. This is just my opinion based on patterns I noticed in their editing. Also it is clear people like forming opinions about certain participants based on these 15min videos, I wouldn’t feel confident in your judgement when you haven’t heard all they have had to say. Just my two cents

As a professional climate scientist who's done this for 50 years, I'm afraid you're not correct. Yessss! You tell her! 💯

“They’re not allowed to water their lawns” A small price to pay for salvation

I live in Oklahoma. I would love to hear small town country folks opinions on this topic. I’m hearing a lot of knowledge but to me they are speaking on/from a big city prospective. My suggestion, what about a big city prospective vs a small town prospective on both sides of the argument. Love you guys and this channel!❤️

I wish the climate activists would have brought more data to the conversation such as the cost efficiency of renewables. Skeptics want choice but they also won't make safe choices if they continue to be willfully misinformed.

“As a professional climate scientist who’s done this for 50 years, you’re not correct” Old white woman: no

"Why should we do something, when China is worse than us" This mindset is extremely childish and basic. Just because someone else is "worse than us" doesn't grant us the right to completely disregard climate change. As a country the U.S. has many resources and the largest economy. It is our responsibility to do what's in our power to help our world.

Its so interesting to see how much the introductions can tell you about how crazy a person is

Michael: I'm afraid my grandchildren will have to grow up in a socialist country. Nordic countries: "Laughing in The World Happiness Report".

This argument was literally: Concerns about global future vs. Concerns about individual future

I love how the activists were literal climate scientists and the denier was like...the west is under threat

Jubilee does a great job of asking questions that don't allow for any actual substance to be covered

It's kinda funny and expected that the skeptics are mostly boomers.

"It's too expensive" "Actually there are ways-" "Stop making decisions for me"

Watering your lawn isn't a right, its a privilege.

“just make the economics work”

it`s so funny because here in germany we have the exact same arguments: "If only Germany cares about climate change it won`t change anything." Many countries are probably saying: "if we are the only ones that do something it is not gonna work" instead of just doing it.

‘An eco-friendly lifestyle is expensive’ Skeptics: ( *who don’t live eco-friendly lifestyles* ) yes

i like how the liberty guy nods everytime someone mentions "choice" or "freedom" lmao

Sometimes it seems like that constitution is a double-edged blade. Cause holy crap there's a lot of people who stick to that with no capability to think a straight thought on their own. It's a constitution! It can be changed!

“Some people can’t water their lawns due to environmental restrictions.” That’s such a first-world problem Lmao

I don’t know how all the climate change activists stay so calm...

I am a professional soccer player and I would never take advice on soccer from someone who doesn’t play. Baffles me that people will formulate contradictory opinions against people have spent their entire lives studying a specific topic

Activists: we are scientists who have done research on this topic for many years Skeptics: Facebook told me so… and did i mention CHINA!!

Climate change activists: We have scientific records to prove humans are destroying the climate Skeptics: I want to water my lawn

They couldn't water their lawn?? And thats suppression?!? Try losing your home because sea levels have rose

The lady that said she knows “climate scientist” that say humans have nothing to do with climate change is so full of it 😂 girl bye

Do this just with teens. Please. Teens are the most important voices in some of these conversations.

"As a professional climate scientist who's done this for 50 years, I'm afraid you're not correct." he SNAPPED i love one man

The old lady lied about knowing climate scientists lol

This shouldn’t be a discussion

It made me sad and honestly concerned when the guy who claims to be a physicist, is a skeptic. Like if you’re really a physicist, you should understand the scientific method and realize that this is absolutely 100% real thing that has undeniable reliable data. Like how does a scientist deny science? It blows my mind.

"climate change has nothing to do with humans" , when the largest decrease in air pollution was recorded during lockdowns in numerous countries.

"BuT oThEr CoUnTrIeS" man, that sounds like a kindergarten excuse for not doing things right.

Something I didn't hear when the activists and skeptics were discussing costs is the impact on the economically disadvantaged. Many people cannot simply choose to drive less because they commute to work & can't easily get new jobs closer to their homes. Also, the average person can't just go out & buy a Tesla. Some middle class families can afford hybrid vehicles, but people trying to work their way out of poverty (or keep from slipping into poverty) have to drive whatever kind of car they can afford, even if it's not "green."

“I’d like to bring up my concern about China again” LMAOOOO I’m sorry but I feel like that’s just hilarious and common with his type of people, u know?

This dude brought up LAWNS as a argument against fighting climate change 😂. Sorry but lawns are a needless symbol of class that are useless outside of water waste.

God the old lady pissed me off. "Yea you studied this for all your life, but i spoke to someone in the field once so im right". Reminds me of anti vax moms who get all their info from Facebook articles

The activists all seemed really well spoken and I appreciate them all a lot.

Climate change is like investing long term. It might not seem that important now and will not show you results now, but in a couple of years the rule of compounding really kicks in and then you realise how important it is.

The scientist: I believe your wrong The lady: 😐😐😐

Skeptics summed up : money > environment + future generations + earth

The skeptics probably also believe pool fences and guard rails at cliffs are infringing on a toddler's liberty and freedom to go for a swim or fly like superman.

I 100 percent agree with the activist. The anti are delusional. 🤦😂🤦

Activists: use facts and create a valid argument Skeptics: “but the inconvenience”

Skeptic guy: *hates China for a living* Also Skeptic guy: “I don’t want to change cos China won’t”

I'm so blown away by how a physicist could be a skeptic but you see all sorts of types I guess.

As a swedish citizen I'm quite bored and annoyed with people claiming they have a specific constitutional right to this and that. The environment doesn't care in the slightest of your constitution, just saying.
