  1. What is most depressing is knowing that peak humanity is behind us and all we have to look foward to is fighting in a self destructive resource war as extreme weather destroyes our countries.

  2. Damn china be funny af. The ice caps be melting and instead of being like, "thats a problem," they say, "new road for ships." 😆

  3. bullshit,Michigan will never run out of drinkable water,Flint's problem is they don't pay their water bills so they have zero money to fix their old pipes that Snyder ruined.

  4. This video alas perpetrates the unscientific fallacy(ABSURD LIE) that co2 greenhouse emisssions have the magical and mysterious power to cool, heat or alter the planets' weather.  Yeah, and all birds have sabre-toothed tiger teeth!  Hilarious and outrageous propaganda diarrhead out by useful idiots who know zero about atmospheric physics.  Reduced global cloud cover has been the principal natural cause for a slight natural warming which makes nature smile and blossom:)  But that wouldn't be politically correct, would it!  Oh, I forgot, the planet alas stopped warming from 1998 onwards and the arctic ice-melting due to reduced cloud cover during the summer months stopped in 2003!!  But schh, it's a secret:)

  5. Natural climate change, world fascism, the end is nigh, doom and gloom, Naomi dumb dumb Klein(lol), the extinction of the human species(Mother Nature won't have her wishes fulfilled)…where do these strange people and even stranger ideologies emanate from? At best from juvenile and evidently immature nutjobs:( At worst from master manipulators like Yves Le Bon or one of his disciples, Edward Bernays. It goes without saying that the only man to listen to in this video is the great Pepe Escobar who most likely shakes his head and smiles at dumbass tripe like 'life-threatening global warming' when every half-serious 'anal'yst knows that earth's life-giving talent really comes into being when the globe is warmer!' But schh, it's a secret never to be told!!! Let the ridiculous Dog & Poney Show and The Comedy of Errors continue. The ideological kangaroos are driving the taxis and we're the unwitting passengers:) Fasten your seatbelts.

  6. The greed class moved jobs to COMMUNIST China because while the Internet here in the USA has briefly opened a window to information not accessible before, in China, that information is controlled and consumerism will continue to grow. It was the bonus to moving jobs to where labor costs dropped below 8% the cost of an American worker.

    The Chinese worker in their dead end job wants to possess bright shiny things and a lawn outside at least 2 boxes that they make payments to a bank and that consume energy sold weekly or monthly.
    Now a worker somehow works longer hours than before – just like America after WW2 but it feels good when you show your new neighbors your bright shiny possessions when you invite them over for barbecue.

    Trouble was, the growth that did fuel American prosperity did slow and if one looks at why, it was deliberate and necessary from the greed class perspective.

    Money is made in a growth economy but Real Money is made if you have inside information on booms and busts. Moving jobs to a country with lower labor costs is a deliberate boom for the greed class.

    Making money on weapons for fear of communism took decades. Making money by SENDING jobs to a COMMUNIST Country happens more quickly.

  7. The beginning of END of the uass, one way or another. Since it's inception it thrived on the blood, and or sweat of OTHER, non whites. Now, the isolation of this island in the West has protected it, now same thin I'd going to be it's end and destruction.

  8. Desperate people will work for food. Corporations like desperate people.
    Water is different from petroleum. 8 countries export two-thirds of the world's oil. There are only about 50 countries in the world that are landlocked. Water is a matter of energy, capital, technology and distribution. I think energy Independence will Define which countries run the world in the future.

  9. I heard that China's goal is to become a socialist Democracy by 2030… If this is true, it will happen. Its actually amazing how quickly they have gone from where they were in the 80s to where they are today. They sought to surpass Americas achievements and so far, have greatly succeeded in doing so. They have surpassed us already in many areas. If they do become a socialist Democracy, they will have us totally whooped.

  10. It's inevitable as a Canadian it's a bit spooky. My country is chalk full of resources and we aren't a high population country and I can very much see larger countries trying to invade or war over our resources. We wouldn't be in this situation if we as a species didn't let rampant greed and corruption grow to the point where it now controls pretty much most of the planet.

  11. Do the idiots in the authoritarian PRC and Emperor for Life XI seriously think their New Silk Road will result in the age of global warming. Anything over 2 degrees Celsius will be a disaster. Try feeding those billions China and India when your glaciers retreat in the Himalayas. Meanwhile, Canada will still have plenty and yet still……

  12. Fascinating news piece. I was riveted right up until I heard Eddie Conway tell us how 500 million people were lifted out of poverty by Chinese Communism!? Tell that to the millions of people in China who work for slave wages and reside in near abject poverty. Or the privatization of land and resources in a power grab for wealth and hegemony over the last twenty years under a Government that is supposedly a Communist Republic. Perhaps the suicides at the iPhone factories might tell a different story. What planet do you inhabit sir!

  13. id like to see analysis done on what may become of china if they become the world leader. their leaders, culture, and people lead me to believe it would be a heartless soulless crushing of anyone that gets in the way of the government mandate. with little care for individual well being, just slow creeping suffocating power.
