Boeing whistleblowers could have told a lot about how corporations are killing us If they were still alive

Short term thinking Short term profiteering Short term investing All unsustainable and when done excessively will threaten humanity.

I remember the time when all liquids were sold in fully recyclable glass bottles. And I don't remember me voting for them to be replaced with non-recyclable plastic. Who's idea was that? And why?

In Brazil there has been massive floods, much bigger then we ever had, in the whole country. To look at destroyed cities and think thats normal is insane

As a Filipino, this gives me so much rage that I don't what to do with. The Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Brunei and the entire SEA are currently suffering from one of many heat waves that will ravage us going forward. After every summer, we will then have to brace for intensifying supertyphoons!

Then they wonder why no one wants to bring kids to this cruel World

Commenting for the algorithm. More people need to know.

I've been trying to do Plastic Free July (2 years now) and wow it's simply impossible. It made clear how plastic is mandated by our laws and there simply aren't alternatives. That said, I do make much better choices now year round. But this is not an individual's problem. The system is at fault and needs to be held accountable.

We've known this for more than a century, there is no excuse for still not being aware of not only why but how corporations ruin our lives.

What's extremely disheartening is that the fossil fuel industry has ready access to top-notch public relations agencies and legal firms that help them create whatever narratives and tactics it wants to avoid accountability for the damage it is causing.

This is our last stable decade on our home planet.

Yes, cooperatives, not corporations.

Anyone watching this has to go to their local council and speak to these ideas

The irony of oil companies being the masters of “gaslighting”

i love that you together with second thought almost always upload on the same day you & st are such a great combo to watch

This is one reason I am thinking Why Protesters yell out I hate America

The title really should be "How Corporations *Killed* Us"...

Man...the part where you talked about people telling you to decrease your footprint or "Do your little part!" resonated with me, because it just happened yesterday. I was talking to my cousin, (who is a landlord) about how its messed up how so many corporations (like Aldi) profit by purposefully making sure they are understaffed, unwilling to pay a few more people to make sure that the employees can work more efficiently and not have to stretch themselves so thin. How messed up it is that so much wealth is owned by so few people. But he handwaved what I said saying stuff like "The people who have all the money had a good idea! or What are YOU doing?" Then he suggested that I focus on doing my little art in my community, helping out at homeless shelters or mentoring someone. And like, those are GOOD things (I think? Mentoring someone always sounds like a scam to me.) We were in a moving truck at the time I accidentally messed up the door (that was already worn down), but I didn't know how to fix it so I left it how it was. Then he said "HA! YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE SO MUCH YET YOUR GONNA LEAVE THE DOOR LIKE THAT FOR THE NEXT PERSON." Its like....WHAT, this is something completely different than what we were talking about, your gonna take this ONE THIN and say that means I don't actually care about people being taken advantage of and the world? It just seems like this whole ploy to guilt trip us out of doing something bigger, saying we are actually the selfish ones. Telling us to do small things so they can keep BOOMING and growing. But what I mean is, I'm talking about how we need to change the system on a large scale, not just doing small individual things, because this problem is so much bigger than us. I'm talking organization and galvanizing. Like seriously, what if everyone decided to just NOT show up to work, and demanded better treatment. Pooling our money and sharing so we don't all starve? But people are more separate than ever, even now I'm in my room. But I think today I'm gonna go to the library and talk to someone.

Not only is it causing severe damage, corporate greed has been steadily ruining the quality of absolutely everything we love! 😢

lets act

In a world like this, one wonders if there is any sense even having children

Information should be free

We're in the Resource Wars from Fallout now...

Meanwhile, and…of course, an ad pops up while watching this video for the American Dairy Association or something claiming all their efforts to be environmentally sound.

Commenting to help spread the message. This is important. People should be aware.

Corporations were formed to prevent personal liability of owners. Taken that premise legally, this is a case of unprecedented predator behavior.

I hear some adds on the radio where I live say “to move to a cleaner future we need all energy sources including natural gas limiting our options will not bring a cleaner future paid for by the Colorado coalition of natural gas” and it’s like hmmm the natural gas guys are saying natural gas ain’t bad hmmmm

It's important to recognize that our reliance on fossil fuels is deeply entrenched in our way of life, and many of us are hesitant to envision a future without them due to concerns about our quality of life. However, solely blaming corporations and executives overlooks broader issues such as overshoot and the need for degrowth. While there are undoubtedly corrupt individuals in positions of power, simply removing them won't solve systemic problems. Instead, we must acknowledge the role of greed in human nature and work towards creating structures and incentives that mitigate its negative effects. Waiting for political action alone won't suffice; we must take individual and collective responsibility to address these issues while also ensuring access to essential services like air conditioning and healthcare. It's time to move beyond scapegoating and engage in meaningful action to create a more sustainable and equitable future.

Business as usual.

feels like the lorax in real life not gonna lie. it’s crazy that we actually need to make a choice between a dollar sign or our planet’s future

Social media is a powerful tool. Short 2 minute blurbs can shift thought. Now, if I can just learn how to navigate instagram I would definitely annoy a lot of people with facts

When I first heard of offsets I was naively optimistic. Now, I consider it a mark against companies. I miss being young and thinking that the problem was not knowing the answers, not that rich people were preventiuus from implementing the answers.

Extremely important and informative as always, thank you, Charlie!

The more i learn about the power grid, the more i realize that modern nuclear energy options is our best option. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, molten salt reactors. Utilizing our advanced technology, Improved engineering & material science. Utilizing our greater understanding of safety & well made designs. We have so much more advanced computer technology & robotics that can be used. It feels like even tho tons of advancement has occurred with engineering designs, safety measures, etc. It still doesn't matter to most people. It's like most people are ingrained with a natural negative response when talking about nuclear energy. It's a bummer because i truly believe that our best option for our future is to start utilizing Modern advanced nuclear energy options in our electrical grid. It's just proving to be challenging to get politicians to get on board. It will really allow places to be much more energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, power desalination plants, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past. See & learn that those things only happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing when it came to nuclear energy at the time. We didn't have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions. More than anything else could, while also providing a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of the most annoying things is how our society has taken a "Change is up to You!" approach. When I reality, it just plays with people's emotions. They feel guilty. They want to make a change, but this individual approach is not going to work. This issue is so much bigger than individual people. We need countries/states/corporations to get on board with this! It's the only way even the Slightest differences can be made. We've already waited too long. Everyday is a day wasted that we aren't committed to modern nuclear energy options. It should be utilized in collaboration with other alternative energy sources all over the place. Especially with our advancements around safety measures. We've seen vast improvements in engineering, material science, technology, robotics, etc. They are all much more advanced now. This power source is the best option to improve our environment & will really help lower our emissions. The only things holding us back is legislation, fear mongering & past trauma that's affected us from our past (which is understandable but we really gotta give it a chance to see if it can prove it has progressed & improved) I the past did they outlaw electricity, oil, or coal if things went wrong in the early days of those fields? No! They kept going cause they understood things can be bumpy and difficult in the beginning. Still to this day we've stuck with these energy sources even tho there's been a lot of negative impact on our environment. A huge issue is that our government is BLOCKING any sort of progression from happening. We'd be lucky to see the slightest projects approved or finished with-in the next 100 years.. It's very annoying to see how much we have gotten in our own way when it comes to improving or advancing certain things. Instead we let fear, money, man made "required legal processes" Stop us from doing anything other than wind, solar, oil, natural gas, damming our rivers, mining for minerals... It's very frustrating because we should be able to use all these options in collaboration. If we actually wanted to improve anything. That's what we need to do and stop letting so much potential get blocked from ever occurring in the first place.. It's really irritating. I wish certain people didn't make this so "complicated and difficult" Why would any reasonable person want to block progression?

Evil already won, it put the blame on you.

A thoughtful analysis of the systemic barriers we're up against! It's crucial that we redirect our focus from individual actions to systemic change that challenges the influence of fossil fuel corporations. 🌍

nuclear power and wind power is a reliable source of energy oil and gas and coal companies have made it expensive and difficult

The only thing that can completely replace crude oil is algae oil. Fuels made with algae produce up to 86% less emissions so it would be like taking 86% of the internal combustion engines off the market without having to convert, destroy, or replace anything.

Great work, thank you!

25:08 NOOOOOOOO it's Johnny "CIA" Harris

Watching with fury and frustration. Bump bump for the algo.

Yo this is punk rock. F the system bro, the corporate greed is killing us

America needs to rollback the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts

Love the lighthearted subject matter

Great video!

Considering how much in debt the US is and how much dependent the government is on corporate lobbying the only thing we can do is to decentralize from the government at this point

I love all of your work.❤

GREAT WORK

Good work bud

Great video as always!!

Great video! 👍

Very good report thank you!

As consumers, we have limited yet not no power to make a change. A starting point would be to take a look at your superfunds and their investment portfolio.

Hello, in your "The Real Trap of Consumerism" video on Nebula, you cite William Gibson as an Economist but he is a Science Fiction Writer.

I love your content! That's why I support you on patreon. 😀

I did subscribe to Nebula, but when the channel Second Thought left the service I canceled my sub. I'm not sure why they left, but they were the reason I sub'd to it to begin with. Nice video.

Very good video

The Saudies and UAE shot themselves in the foot, as their climate is going down fast.

Really really agree

Makes me feel like the kid who’s teased and bullied every day, and there’s no one to help…

You do good work, putting together research. But the relentless pace of quick cuts, edits removing every pause after every sentence or paragraph; combining every image with a waterfall of words so the viewer has to process the image as well as the words immediately because it's going to rush right on to the next frame; is actually making it more difficult for people to "get" what you want to communicate.

Thanks!

OMG!! Goosebumps! As an XR activist: awareness about consumption blaming (3:30 -7:20) is so incredibly needed!! I would love to see you make a deep dive on it. Your conclusion is so true. Thank you so much!

Thank you! You can be vegan for animals too, this is not only about climate change and greenhouse gases. It's about biodiversity if we make it good global movement!

Why do we bring kids into such horrible world?

I just added 2 comments that were censored by Google’s “what is truth algorithm”.

“I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.” - Sultan Al Jaber, President of COP 28, also CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company Mukhtar Babayev will be the president for COP 29; he is also a former executive of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijian Republic. Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.

We need to empower visionary leaders to step up and become a rallying beacon for those who share in this understanding. Solidarity is everything!

@“they mobilize law enforcement” We need to change this entire situation.

Great video to unwind the oil web

"It would be easy to just say that fossil fuel companies are evil" ... Agreed. And I do.

I dont think I will ever feel okay putting new children into a world like this. 😢

The thing that is important to realise is that it is a system that everyone is locked into. Its not about moral or immoral, but fears, insecurities that lead to disempowerment by most & desperation that causes people to put making money more important than protecting the ecosystem.

The U.S. dollar is the oil reserve currency it is literally what propels the United States to hold so much influence and control of the markets. Undermining oil undermines that grasp on power which is why until the U.S. resorts to the monopolization of its currency on the next generation of essential resources it will not move away from the oil and fossil fuel markets. It’s the life blood of the hegemonic empire and imperialist ambitions of the country with the largest global military presence in the world. It’s not just corporations, it’s the imperialists that want to preserve global control.

I wonder what fossil fuel corporations will have to say when climate change gets real...probably just decades away...glad to be an older person.

coz what peeps do nto understand is that we got here where we are not on li ion batteries ;) and giviong up oil and other stuff would mean downsizing and no one wants to get downsized ;)

Me: *Starts Watching Video*... OCC: "Go watch this on Nebula" Me: "FINE!" *Switches Tabs to go watch this AND all the Yet to release Vids Since this one on Nebula* "Now you don't get the Watch Time HERE, Happy now?!" ;P

For the bourgeoisie it's aways individual profit, communitized damages

My favorite part is where you literally advocate for sabotage against multinational billion dollar energy corporations

Workers of all countries unite! We have a world to win!

good video

How is me signing up to nebula going to help the fight against climate change tho?

Hi there. You are focusing on the LEAVES when you should be focusing on the ROOTS. The Symptoms are bad and should be ignored, but addressing those symptoms instead of removing the cancer is as much of a waste of time as it is using a bucket to prevent a sinking boat to go under instead of fixing the hole in the hull.

Carbon capture is not a silver bullet, but it will help us buy time. It's the CO2 in the atmosphere that intensifies everything.

Yay for theory ❤

This is getting ridiculous honestly and I worry that our future will be a hellscape.

Yes. Next question, please.

It occurs to me that, if it were possible to completely excise all fossil fuel usage from most people's lives through individuals changing their habits, destroying the fossil fuel industry would already be done, or at least well on its way.

The really interesting thing is the generational turnover. As the millennials age and come to accept climate doom as something they were born into and never really had a chance to change, the next generation will be born further into the crisis and further into only knowing the situation as "normal". Doom and extinction will be their baseline and their motivation to return to a time that they have never even known will be even less than those of us resigned to current hopelessness of "enjoy the time of stability we have left". Through this lense, irrelevant of the incredible inaction and counteraction to any efforts to change, it is very clear that nothing of significance will be done.

I think there should be a bigger discussion on ways for everyday people to transition to sustainable energy and materials without losing their livelihood.

Meanwhile we vote the opposite to change anything while eating a steak.

check to see if your banks support oil companies if they do try to move to a local credit union or another bank that doesn't support big oil

Stop having children Learn how to survive in harsh environments It is projected that 4 billion humans will be displaced by 2070 because of global warming, whoever is having kids now, bless u.

As part of sustainable lifestyle... I will be reducing my private jet trips to just 200 per month... space joy rides only once a year... use less of my super yacht and use only sustainable materials at my private island mansions 😂

Commenting to help you in the algorithm.

Also ppl. As we use enviromental friendly proccesses, products get more expenses. People get upset and vote for ppl who cut red tape to fight progress

Only 400 comments? Needs to be thousands

The very term 'carbon footprint' is a form of deflection. Using the word footprint brings up the thought of an individual person, making the phrase more personal. Fossil fuel corporations are the best marketing firms in the world.
