For decades, the fossil fuel industry funded climate change denial campaigns aimed toward young people to sow seeds of doubt on climate science. As the climate crisis has worsened, it has made a subtle shift to what critics call “youthwashing.”.

  1. Fighting climate change, the problem itself, is hard enough. It's hard to believe there are assholes actively making the problem so much harder than it already is. Denial, denial, denial

  2. Think there is a way to spend fifty years building global infrastructure to try to replace a destroyed ecosystem, spraying all life on the planet with heavy metal nano chem toxins solely to manipulate weather systems, and keep it all hidden from the population of the planet – without calling it malicious? There's nothing benevolent about destroying the world to keep coal and oil profits flowing, and then trying to cover it up and pretend it isn't happening. Stages to create Artificial Weather, right under people's noses. https://youtu.be/ELZqUrs9U5w / The U.N. Climate Report Detailed https://youtu.be/UlXOVUYYJDQ / Sofia Small Storm explains Artifcial Weather Creation https://youtu.be/foBqPwmwQqQ If humanity doesn't take responsibility for their home planet….others of different nature will do it for you with evil intentions, for these evil manifested ones think are above the Creator and Creation. Unfortunately, humanity seems to aline , by freewill consciously or unconsciously, with the dark self appointed "masters" of the Universe, so they think. Humanity better unite now, there is not much time left….actually humanity is operating in borrowing time. "Satans" seed are trying to suppress at any cost the truth of the global "climate change," climate collapse that is, and they are so aggressive attacking, suppressing, thrashing and even murder those few people that can see through the veil of deceptions and lies. In the days ahead, (the days of tribulation are approaching also), choose wisely, freewill. THE NATURAL PRECIPITATION OF THE PLANET EARTH HAS COLLPASED SINCE THE 1980'S. THERE IS A PURPOSE OF WHY THEY CREATE THIS ARTIFICIAL FIRES TO CREATE ARTIFICAL WEATHER TO CREATE ARTIFICIAL PRECIPITATION. https://youtu.be/rmbRC_pAgJg

  3. More alarmist nonsense! CO2 has a Minuscule effect of global climate temperatures as now about 100 scientific articles have shown. Alarmists have their heads up their asses and never will admit it. What a fraud.

  4. Do you remember the graph in "Inconvenient truth" showing correlation of co2 levels with temperatures over the millennia? One think Al Gore didn't say is that the temperature rose first, 800 years before co2. What's causing what?

  5. It's good to check out both sides of the story. A documentary: "The great global warming swindle" got me thinking.

  6. If you follow the money trail it leads straight to the fossil fuel industry (Koch brothers, etc). Who do you reckon is telling the truth then, the scientists warning us about a climate emergency or the climate deniers telling us everything is ok so keep doing what you're doing? I wouldn't bet on the later!

  7. Fossil fuels are approaching the end of their life cycle. Fossil fuels companies know this so they are trying to keep the industry going and the profits flowing for as long as they can by undermining the public's understanding of climate change and their support for change. They are following the tobacco industry play book to do that e.g. attacking the climate scientists, attacking the politicians who plan to act, paying so called experts to spread confusion, paying politicians to sit on their hands, paying media to be sympathic to climate denial, etc, etc.

  8. you can really tell that Greta is the daughter of a couple of actors, she's very dramatic, just saying the climate has changed means what, daily, weekly monthly, yearly every decade, every century, how far back do records go, sounds like propaganda to me

  9. What Climate Change?

    Name me the scientists you believe in. Why did not one support Michael Mann in court when he could not justify his hockey stick? Why was not one promoted instead of the indoctrinated child Greta?

  10. Me and my friend Millie are going to tattoo the XR symbol on each others' foreheads.
    It will hurt but it will show we are not brainwashed by oligarchs and suchlike. Paint peels off, true comitment doesnt!

  11. Why is that people opposing the climate crisis agenda seem to be working from their backrooms, or in small clearly underfunded groups, while climate crisis propaganda comes with expensive videos, CGI and often highly-paid professional front men? Where is all this fossil fuel money being spent?
    Using children t push a political agenda is disgraceful behaviour. Any steps taken to prevent it can only be applauded.

  12. If youth prophetic voices don’t speak your message then buy or create your own prophetic youth voice to speak it. Money corrupts everything that doesn’t have moral , ethical universal principles at its core.

  13. Nothing is sacred (in the non-denominational sense) under capitalism. Even children's futures and lives are grist for destructive, extractive propaganda and profits. Disgraceful. What do fossil fuel CEOs and propagandists think or feel when they look in their own children's eyes?

  14. Please get your terminology straight. First of all, POLLUTION is a much more serious problem than "climate change." Pollution does not cause climate change. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It's a trace gas, and it's vital for plant growth. Extra CO2 can cause a slight amount of warming, but warming is good for the planet as opposed to another ice age. Here's a challenge. Have you ever heard anyone in the news ever differentiate between natural climate change and anthropogenic (human caused) climate change? Natural climate change has taken place for millions of years where there were hot periods and cold periods–long before humans existed. So give us a percentage: how much for natural climate change and how much for anthropogenic climate change? I watch a lot of mainstream news, and I can't think of one time that a newscaster or a scientist or a politician used the words "natural climate change." It's as if they don't want to acknowledge there is or was such a thing.

  15. I just love the right-wingers saying they are against the "deep state" but yet, they keep pushing the "deep state" narrative. Who is pushing the fake narrative that "global warming is fake" or "global warming isn't man made" but the "deep state"! It is so surreal, they believe they are rebelling against the elites but yet, they're pushing the elites ideas forward! You couldn't make this stuff up!! It's no wonder I'm losing my mind!

  16. FORCE POLITICIANS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WORKER COOPERATIVE SYSTEM. ASK THEM QUESTIONS. LIKE…DO YOU SUPPORT THE WORKER COOPERATIVE SYSTEM AND HOW IF ELECTED WOULD YOU HELP PEOPLE START THEIR OWN WORKER COOPERATIVE?

  17. It is so horrible that oil companies will spend so much money to shut-up the truth but spend nothing on fixing their mess (ignore their fake commercials on finding alternative green fuels). The damage that they've done to many peoples mind, with their BS propaganda, is rivaled to the damage they've done to the earth.

  18. THE CORRUPTION AND GREED OF CORPORATE CAPITALISM IS NO LONGER TOLERABLE. WE MUST END OUR SERVITUDE TO CAPITALISM AND REBUILD OUR SOCIETIES AS SOCIAL DEMOCRACIES. WE MUST DESTROY THE CORPORATE CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM. SUPPORT POLITICAL CANDIDATES WHO ENDORSE THE WORKER COOPERATIVE SYSTEM.

  19. Big Oil is the new Big Tobacco ==> complete with "Oil Granny" videos. "But, Greta – you don't want to take our OIL away do you now?" : absolutely pathetic desperation. These assholes, with their eyes open, chose to let the world burn so they could take an immensely valuable ecosystem and turn it into little slips of fiat wealth. Fucking DARWIN AWARDS for the entire lot of Oil Executives! They don't even know what things are of actual value.

  20. It reminds me sort of the Malboro Man, who should have been seen as frail, always coughing up his guts……. and not the rugged sporty type

  21. Hey kids listen up don't let them fool you I'm 66 years old and they've been trying to fool me forever be better

  22. Green house gases are rated on a CO2 metric but include the more potently liberating of environmental CO2 hydrogen-sulfide, sulfur-dioxide, methane, freon, formaldehyde, propane, etc. it is acidification of air and ocean that is the actuator of rapid (catastrophic) climate change. Photosynthesis has the ability to absorb massive accumulations of (CO2) annually. The dinosaurs could rightly described as having succumb to rapid acidification and climate collapse by the introduction of sulfur to the environment as delivered by asteroid strike. Climate catastrophe is real but factual causalities have been eschewed by statutory and political metrics to capitalize "carbon units" with more that just the effect of exporting bi-product production to less regulated rural communities of color (see: environmental racism) but to confuse the issue within the context of lobbied initiative capitalization and momentum of politic and messaging. I fully agree that Koch industries is the biggest purveyor of mollification and disinformation on the subject and its dangers, Dakota access is a direct retaliation on Madero's' Venezuela for charging Koch Industries premium prices on heavy bitumen crude as V. was the single source for the/their Texas refinery that capacitates this type of crude exclusively till a deal was struck with/for (equally difficult, "sulfur laden") "fracked"(a whole another factor of complexion) Canadian tar sands. The war on Venezuela and Dakota access illegal domestic mercenary war are direct government/CIA backed subsidy to Koch Industries.
