I mean, thats less of an analogy and pretty much exactly whats happening.

Eh, we’re still doing our part to fuck up the Earth. In your scenario we’re more like the guy in the back hitting a one hitter every once in a while. Are we still messing up the air? Sure… but the driver definitely shouldn’t be yelling at us.

@@liamalexandr9282 puffing a one hitter has such a small impact on the environment at large that it almost negates being mentioned in the same breathe as vehicular pollution. But if you switch to vaping (and trust me... spend 30 years smoking weed, and you'll want to switch also... may even *need* to) it kind of solves that problem.

We just _can't_ shut off the car. How else are we going to heat the garage? The least we could do is install an industrial air filtration system so we won't have to worry about the fumes, but there's no way to make that profitable. So, the only logical solution is to die.

@@TheRealBatCaveyes. But it was shameful that many representatives didn’t show up and there were many empty seats. He called upon them and shamed them for that too. I am not sure but I think it passed theft day.

@amirahsadre4570 we did it or didn't it pass?

It did pass but it literally took many lives and decades as well as Jon going to DC and publicly shaming them as well as calling them out on his old show to garner attention. The first responders were dropping dead with crazy amounts of cancer and first they tried to say it wasn’t from the pile, then when the evidence was overwhelming they tried to say it was a NY problem not a federal problem. The official response time for NYPD on 9/11 was something like 26 seconds. FDNY was right behind them. Jon pointed out that each and every single person who was supposed to be present at the hearing had posted on facebook “never forget” on the anniversary of 9/11, yet when it came time to get them help they literally avoided them like the plague. Jon went door to door in the capital building to get someone to help and was told they weren’t there, and literally had to move because a lobbyist was there for a meeting. Normally a very funny man he broke down and cried and yelled at them, Where do you get off? How dare you? It was a despicable disgusting display of political bs and red tape vrs help for those who saved lives. So yes they got the help they deserved but not when they could have saved them and fatefully there are very few left.

Actually it's worse than that. There are no buyers for the stuff we put in our recycle bins. It's going in the landfills with everything else.

Compare this to the travesty that is currently called the Daily Show, where Trevor Noah bends over backwards to take cheap shots at Bernie Sanders with some of the most crudely sawed-off cherry-picked excerpts you've seen. "Ha ha ha! You guys are gonna let me be rich like you soon, yeah?" calls Trevor to his new 'friends', who just smile and nod, knowing he will never be more than a tool. It's the path he chose, instead of joining the ranks of worthy Daily Show successors with John Oliver, Samantha Bee, Jordan Klepper and the rest.

Just because its your culture doesnt make it okay

Okay so I first came here to say: I started watching the daily show with my dad, around 12 or so. I watched Jon’s 9/11 coverage. I’m 34 now, and watch it with my partner and we will watch this show with our children. Jon Stewart is legacy like this. It’s so important. THAT BEING SAID: To the other dude trying to dunk on Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah is fucking amazing, and was a great call for the new direction of the daily show. Jon was done with the daily show and needed to grow. They are different things, and represent different things. You can like the original flavor of something without hating the new one. Get some perspective, please. If you respect Jon’s views you should at least intersect with Trevor’s views.

BP sales objective should place focus on the people, and looby the government to mandate personal responsibility. - All we need to do is plant 142 trees each, and take 57 poos in the field. That may sound funny but apt. The trees will offset a huge percentage of Co2 and the poo would replenish critical organic activity for soil. Humankind will naturally want to improve their poo content quality by reducing fast food and potato salad; as pooing in a field just 57 times in one's lifetime is no easy thing. It is a movement that will address our problems with heart disease and diabetes.

We should have known it was a scam when it was proposed. Did we really think miners and roughnecks were going to quit their jobs and start collecting cans and bottles on the side of the road? How many people make a living off climate change or climate change regulation? Millions? If you solved climate change tomorrow would we put all those people out of a job? Hell no! People would tell you to shut up and sit in the corner. When you run for president nobody asks you what you're going to do about your nation's carbon footprint, but they do ask you what you will do about employment. The recycling thing made me laugh as well. I'm in my 50s. I remember when it started. Some great industries have sprung up because of it, but they all have to emit some level of pollution to make something new out of all that recycled material.

I know it was a joke, but let's get real. It's single-use plastics that are the problem. We have a choice not to buy them, but it's difficult, that's for sure.

@Martin Deano CO2 is also essentially permanent in the atmosphere once emitted. The vast majority of the warming above industrial levels we currently observe is directly due to American/Western economies emissions (of which the US did most) ...

@Martin Deano After outsourcing all manufacturing to China, using fossil fuels for generations, hindering the booming pre-colonial Indian economy through colonialism, not letting Russia join the free market, you have the gall to blame them for trying to survive?

@@akimtu9523 Actually, with the exception of grass fed and finished cows and sheep, animal agriculture requires more crops to be grown than if we ate the crops directly. We do not have enough land for current demand for pasture raised cows as it is, let alone the growing demand from a growing population. "While the wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest may constitute an “international crisis,” they are hardly an accident. The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle. The practice is on the rise, encouraged by Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s populist pro-business president, who is backed by the country’s so-called “beef caucus.” While this may be business as usual for Brazil’s beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror. So, for those wondering how they could help save the rainforest, known as “the planet’s lungs” for producing about 20% of the world’s oxygen, the answer may be simple. Eat less meat." -CNN Growing soy is another reason they are burning the Amazon. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of deforestation around the world, not just the Amazon.

@@akimtu9523 70%+ of soy grown is used to fatten animals for slaughter, and for dairy and egg production. "More than three-quarters (77%) of global soy is fed to livestock for meat and dairy production. Most of the rest is used for biofuels, industry or vegetable oils. Just 7% of soy is used directly for human food products such as tofu, soy milk, edamame beans, and tempeh. The idea that foods often promoted as substitutes for meat and dairy - such as tofu and soy milk - are driving deforestation is a common misconception." - Our World in Data I could also cite the USDA if you don't believe this credible source of data.

What do you mean by that? Are you implying that one of the men you mentioned lack a conscience?

also, those stupid glass and girder towers don't allow for any natural air flow. That should have been a lesson over the past 2 years - we need to work in buildings with opening windows, not be trapped in boxes that recycle the same air all day.

@@worldofcyn Doesnt mean we cant try. Even in dense urban areas, where distances are very short, people still feel unsafe biking. 60% of all trips in the US are under 6 miles. 70% of trips are not commuting, but most of our transportation design is centered on commuting. What that means is that even in the suburban hellscape, theres a lot of trips that are doable with an e-bike in less than 25min. There just needs to be safe infrastructure and a disincentive to driving (like taxes)

Ahhh the apathy of "it doesn't work for everyone, so no one should do it" mentality. People who live in cold climates need gas powered vehicles as electric doesn't work as well, so no one should have electric, in some parts of the country it snows 4 months of the year so no one should use solar, it's not convenient for me to ride a bike to work so absolutely no one should be asked to ride a bike to work.

I agree that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United, but doing so is a drop in the bucket of addressing corruption in the US. For example, if we got rid of Citizens United, these things would still be legal: -Lobbyists coordinating fundraisers and making donations to politicians -Legislators taking lavish vacations paid for by special interests -Legislators starting lobbying jobs right after they leave their government positions -Not disclosing all political money to the public Even without Citizens United, the US government would still be deeply dependent on rich donors, special interests, and lobbyists. We need to pass legislation that makes that dependency illegal. We also need to fill the ensuing vacuum with voucher-based public campaign financing (see the For The People Act for an example) to incentivize politicians to engage with the majority instead of a concentrated group of wealthy people. There's so much work to be done beyond Citizens United. I highly recommend finding local, grassroots efforts that are working on these issues in your area. Thanks for reading my spiel :)

The entire fossil fuel industry will come crashing down when marijuana is legalized, and industrial hemp is openly grown across the planet to make society's transportation fuel, energy, plastic and paper. This is the real reason why marijuana was outlawed. In 1917, a machine was invented that could crush the stalks and separate the fibers from hemp plants faster than doing it by hand, like Eli Whitney's Cotton Gin, but for hemp. This stood to make Cannabis hemp economically viable as an abundant alternative to coal and oil for transportation and energy, as well as trees for paper and construction. This is when major oil and timber companies began lobbying state governments to outlaw Cannabis hemp as the dangerous drug, "Marijuana." Cannabis Sativa was effectively outlawed by the US Federal government in 1937. But after the attack at Pearl Harbor, the US supply chain was disrupted and imports of raw materials from Asia were cut off by the Japanese Navy. The US suspended Cannabis prohibition and (secretly) encouraged farmers to grow "Marihuana" to make equipment for the US military. In 1942, the US Department of Agriculture made a 14-minute instructional video titled *Hemp For Victory.* The Special Tax Stamp that was issued by the USDA that is shown in the video reads, "Producer of Marihuana." After World War II, any mention of *Hemp For Victory* was banned from history books and public broadcasts, and the American voting public was once more and to this day indoctrinated with anti-marijuana drug war lies. Because the video was made before television and only shown to a few thousand farmers throughout rural Kentucky and Wisconsin, it was easy for the film to be forgotten, especially with the public being told from birth that Marijuana is evil and will destroy America. *Hemp For Victory* was uncovered in the Library of Congress in 1989 and has been officially available to the voters from the US National Archives since 1990, but the war on drugs has actually escalated since then, along with climate change. Every administration since World War II has kept this film out of the public's notice (EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT LINK TO THE VIDEO ON EVERYONE'S CELLPHONES) so that "business as usual" could continue. It would be great to see Jon Stewart tell millions of people that growing "Marihuana" will make fuel for our cars and completely end corporate America's lie that we have to bomb poor Iraqis or let a pipeline rupture and pollute Native tribal lands to get cheaper gas. I want to see someone in national media explain to the voting public that all paper and plastic products can be made from the stalks of pot plants, without ruining the planet. I'm tired of typing all of this out in comment sections. No one is going to read any of this. Just one celebrity talking about this could change the world.

BP sales objective should place focus on the people, and looby the government to mandate personal responsibility. - All we need to do is plant 142 trees each, and take 57 poos in the field. That may sound funny but apt. The trees will offset a huge percentage of Co2 and the poo would replenish critical organic activity for soil. Humankind will naturally want to improve their poo content quality by reducing fast food and potato salad; as pooing in a field just 57 times in one's lifetime is no easy thing. It is a movement that will address our problems with heart disease and diabetes.

Well, we here in Canada don't have any 'Citizens United vs', but guess what, Canada is even MORE of a petro state than the US. Hell. remember that 'carbon tax' thing? Yeah, so in our province we HAVE a carbon tax. Its like eight cents on a litre-sorry, don't know what that is in gallons. But anyway, guess what, our carbon tax goes to fund the expansion of the natural gas industry. I shit you not, you see, our premier is an ex Irving manager. If that name doesn't ring a bell thats the family that owns the largest oil refinery in North America, and so our carbon tax is going to create MORE greenhouse gases, thats how crazy a world, or a coutnry this is. of course with a different premier we could have brought in a cap and trade program, but if you don't know about canada, go look up our electoral system, if you thought the american system was something to be desired, our Prime Minister is a guy who came SECOND in the election. We only get ONE vote, thats for local rep, party rep, AND federal leader. Our provincial leader has total power by getting 35% of the popular vote and provincially we don't even HAVE a senate, while federally our Senate is NOMINATED by the Prime Minister. So yeah, thats what WE"RE up against. At least across the border in Maine they have citizens initiatives. They were able to vote and kill three LNG terminals. In our province the two only parties were climbing over each other to see who could offer the Irvings the biggest tax breaks. So in the end they forced an LNG terminal on us that only employed eight people, and they capped the property taxes on it at half a milion so they pay less in tax than a chain of doughnut shops.

@@Marijuanifornia : I read it all. I wish I had John's clout. Don’t stop informing and peace be with you.

yet left wingers are the ones pushing this BS while buying property on shorelines ...

@@anonymoustoo4945 no, rich liberals buy property on shorelines. Who are also the ones vortue signaling against climate change a lot while not actually doing anything about it because that would upset the status quo. That is decidedly not left-wing

@@anonymoustoo4945 neo liberals aren't left wingers. Please learn to think for once in your life

@@anonymoustoo4945 what BS? No rich liberal is buying properties on shorelines they know will not exist in 20 years. Unless they don't plan on being alive in the next few decades. Most liberals want to protect the land and save the planet. Conservatives refuse to do anything and mock any attempts to do so. They even undermine it and work to ensure there is no future for humanity. Including their children. Own the Libs? Riiiight?

@@jalicea1650 obama bought a 15 million dollar beach front property in 2019 … thats just ONE… maybe you should be informed before you try to own someone (me dropping the mic;-)

If we didn't buy their oil, who would they sell it to?

@@theobserver9131 the change doesn't come from boycotting. It is some other necessary change.

Exactly, this “the world is ending so buy a Tesla” stuff puts the responsibility on us, not the corporations that built society the way it is in the first place

They can't see your middle finger from the top of their towers.

Unfortunately, computers use more and more energy. Servers, supercomputers, workstations, PCs. PS2 used only 30 watts while gaming in the year 2000, PS4 Pro 158 watts and PS5 203 watts (Series X 210 watts). Of course they are getting more efficient at fixed performance level (Series S with One X performance uses 80 watts), but maximum power requirement goes up. Future Nvidia cards will use 600 watts by themselves, gaming CPUs can use even 200 watts. Soon, a gaming PC will sip 1000 watts from the grid. Deep learning requires exponentially more energy. Therefore, nuclear fusion is necessary.

we all want to be blameless, as if u never bought a product that was for ur own convenience and nothing more.

The world has been ending since the 50s. Glad to see they just pushed the goal post back again to 2040. It's weird that they said not a thing about climate change during covid. If the world was ending, you think they wouldn't let up. Fucking lairs.

The thing is, is really DOES depend on you. All of us - everyone standing around saying "the oil companies!" isn't helping anything. The easiest thing that 99% of people can do is stop consuming animal products (or dramatically less) because the entire rainforest is being burned down to raise more animals.

The vast majority of carbon emissions come from coal plants, airplanes, and cargo ships. Personal automobiles are basically statistical noise.

Just like Democrat politicians

I promise not to dump millions of gallons of oil into the gulf of Mexico

@@Praisethesunson I could heat my home by burning tires for the next 20 generations and I still wouldn't have polluted 1% as much as BP did from that one disaster. But I'm supposed to be the one watching my "carbon footprint". I'll pass.

Absolutely. And it really disappoints me that Trevor just ain't that kinda guy. When people say "Jon made the show his own," he really did. The show was funny, but he wasn't afraid the open up a wound and show everyone the gangrene they'd been ignoring. Sadly, the only times Trevor hits this level is on race relations... otherwise, the modern Daily Show's just kinda room temperature.

totally agree, he is so brilliant!

If you apply that fiction to him…

Like, I'm going to Bolivia to meet a girl because I just don't think anybody on my own continent wants me. It's not an efficient way to live.

Implementation of any solutions looks tough, especially given the intensity of our modern addictions. Just a tweak to capitalism is possible. No? Fade 'growth' insert 'progress.' Some different metrics instead of GDP and stock market growth, like 'well being' ? or 'lack of disease', poverty etc.. We will not divorce people from energy consumption, so through tech it must be made carbon neutral (or negative). Inevitably Co2 will increase, world will warm and we will cope.

Hear hear!

I haven't seen him for many months and I haven't missed him. And, after watching his gibberish in this video, I think I can I can go back to not seeing him for many months.

Not really. Carlin despised both the Dems and Repubs. I'm willing to bet John votes Democrat.

@@web-angel Lessor evil.

@@web-angel George was very progressive. He may have called out dems, but he that was because he was more left wing than they were. He stood up for the gay community years before it was socially acceptable. He stood up for minorities, was pro abortion, anti-religious. Most of his bits called out conservatives, Reagan, Bush, Chaney, Powell, all got direct attacks from Carlin. The only democrat he ever attacked by name was Clinton.

George did tell Stewart in their interview in the late 90s that he would make everyone proud and he sure has. Unlike most comedians, Jon punches up with his comedy like George did, and doesn’t punch down.

It’s true … when Jon interviewed George he himself said he was looking forward to seeing Jon! Mutual respect!

We had Mr. Carlin. That would have been a good show Stewart and Carlin

I hear that. I live in Mn. The problem is getting @ those minerals responsibly. Its not a call i wanna make, to be sure. Lots of controversy. The bottom line is that mining (anywhere) needs to do a shit-ton less long term damage to be worth doing @ all. Look @ all the bad shit happening with fraking...😢

Fax. The stat is 1% of ppl cause over half of all aviation pollution. But guess who politicians/gov will fuk when they implement their “green” (🙄) economy?

Look. Aviation isn’t great and should be cut down. But aviation, all of it, accounts for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions.

Actually this channel also uploaded a writer's room or whatever talk where Jon pointed out that the entertainment industry was notoriously inefficient (although he didn't mention flights specifically). He knows and acknowledges.

@@chrisklappich5998 Yes, but it is exponentially more than can be saved by turning off lights or recycling or riding a bike to work a few times a week. They have us guilted into feeling like this problem is our fault when most of us in an entire lifetime do not have a carbon footprint the size of say Anderson Cooper.

@@patreekotime4578 this is the issue when you don’t discuss specifics. The entirety of aviation worldwide, both personal and freight, produces 1.02 billion tons of CO2. Just passenger vehicles in just the US produces 1.269 billion tons. So no, aviation is not exponentially more than we can impact with things like driving less. Is biking to work going to solve all our problems? Of course not. Can we stop all aviation? Of course not.

what usually "triggers" you?

@@Skipbo000 Well, usually random words from the song I'm about to start singing, not even necessarily parts of the refrain, it happens quite often and you can never tell in advance - not always though, might depend on my mood... 😅

He's been rich for like 35 years lol.

The above comments are right. Did you think he was joking about the refrigerated skin care products?

Are you familiar with a platform known as KZfaq?
