  1. Do I believe Corporation's Rule this world?? Do I think it is right to teach this Earth's future generations power over the people at all costs?? Should we Love Our Neighbors??Are you saying that it is okay to steal and plunder the poor and their countries ?? Is it right to slowly dumb down a population with Fluoridation and other toxins in their water supply?? Are you of the opinion that taxation of the population should be used to create a massive war machine that kills millions devouring all the Earth's resources for the very few wealthiest people??
    Is it fine using the tax dollars of the people subsidising ((making affordable)) health damaging foods, drinks, oil, coal and Nuclear ??
    Then charge the same tax payers for health care??? Should food and drug be united?? They Feed Us poison and Profit not making us well??
    Is this the world you want for all future generations???
    I do not care what shade, gender, religion, nation, city, state, size or shape you are!!! If you believe we are on this Earth to Steal, Kill, Destroy every being, thing and atom not quite as perfect as you are Well then I am So Glad to have met you!! NEXT!!!

  2. Stop using the Cheney concocted term “climate change”. It is a climate catastrophe, a climate crisis, call it what it is!

  3. It is always a good idea to listen to children. They know the world and realities of life. Really….societies all over the world and though out time have ben served well to be led by their youths inherent wisdom.

  4. The real science doesn't support her movement. Climate change inlfuenced by humanity is easily debunked. Their true agenda is to tax the very air we breath. I bet she lives in a house framed with timber…

  5. Carbon Dioxide is plant food.

    6CO2 + 6H2O ——> C6H12O6 + 6O2
    Sunlight energy

    CO2 = carbon dioxide
    H2O = water
    Light energy is required
    C6H12O6 = glucose
    O2 = oxygen

  6. Sounds familiar listening to politicians telling young people what they ask is impossible. We were told the same thing about demands to stop the Vietnam war and end segregation. You kids go! Take action. It's your life these politicians are destroying.

  7. He is not wrong about lack of technical knowledge along with lack of how real world things work thermodynamics is a bitch and you can't cheat them you can only bend them and 10-15yrs to stop all oil gas and coal ground extraction is unrealistic for many reasons exp. manufacturing industries require large amounts of power &heat, and chemicals of all kinds along with feedstock to operate and manufacturing is a need not a want

  8. I support the Green New Deal and I support the youth. The idea of the Green New Deal was created by the ecosocialists, however, not Alexandria Cortez, or the Sunrise Movement. These latter groups are the ones promoting it and pushing it forward

  9. 4:43 "The fact that they put profit over people is really disappointing." Well that's everyday life in a consumerist and imperialist society, where corporations and banks have all the power to decide your life outcome 🙂

  10. Impossible California creates more energy than any other energy the first all green city is in Texas run buy an old-school Republican. In Kansas the reddest state in the nation the entire Western Kansas damn near is powered by wind powerand let's not forget about the government owned and controlled power company that power is something like 60 million homes in the Mid-Atlantic I can't think of the name of this it's from the great new deal and they own every form of power generation there is. Let's do the research but that one company within 10 years power the entire East Coast if allowed to the company has been scaled back and capped by the government for decades. We have to redo our energy great anyway scientist have proven set a solar array in death valley to power the entire fucking Nation if we upgraded our transmission lines we lose 60% of our power in transmission lines we run very inefficient systems compared to Japan's 95% efficiency in transmission. this is all shit is going to have to be done anyway over the next 10 to 20 years for our infrastructure to even be viable.

  11. When American colonists declared independence from England in 1776, they also freed themselves from control by English corporations that extracted their wealth and dominated trade. After fighting a revolution to end this exploitation, our country's founders retained a healthy fear of corporate power and wisely limited corporations exclusively to a business role. Corporations were forbidden from attempting to influence elections, public policy, and other realms of civic society.

    Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to profit was seen as a means to that end.

    The states also imposed conditions (some of which remain on the books, though unused) like these:

    * Corporate charters (licenses to exist) were granted for a limited time and could be revoked promptly for violating laws.

    * Corporations could engage only in activities necessary to fulfill their chartered purpose.

    * Corporations could not own stock in other corporations nor own any property that was not essential to fulfilling their chartered purpose.

    * Corporations were often terminated if they exceeded their authority or caused public harm.

    * Owners and managers were responsible for criminal acts committed on the job.

    * Corporations could not make any political or charitable contributions nor spend money to influence law-making.

    For 100 years after the American Revolution, legislators maintained tight control of the corporate chartering process. Because of widespread public opposition, early legislators granted very few corporate charters, and only after debate. Citizens governed corporations by detailing operating conditions not just in charters but also in state constitutions and state laws. Incorporated businesses were prohibited from taking any action that legislators did not specifically allow.

    States also limited corporate charters to a set number of years. Unless a legislature renewed an expiring charter, the corporation was dissolved and its assets were divided among shareholders. Citizen authority clauses limited capitalization, debts, land holdings, and sometimes, even profits.

    Most of this vital history is unknown to citizens today, but it can provide critical understanding and tools for solving today's problems. Corporations are setting the agenda on issues in congress, courts and the media rather than "We the People" as our founding fathers intended. "We the People" can never speak as loudly with our own voices as corporations can with the unlimited amplification of money

  12. Look at what which industries get subsidies with your taxes. Stopping profit over people is the right message. Also look at how they're doing it. There's a lot of lobbying involved. But be careful with your words. Lobbyists are apparently a protected species.

  13. Stop putting chemtrails over people, pesticides over people, radiation over people… *grow your own food*.

  14. Wars are OK, Nuclear waste is OK, money-based slavery is OK, but the bad CO2 will kill us all. Every generation has its scare-monger hoax for distracting kids from the real problems.

  15. Impossible. Impossible? Huh. The technology exists, the science is sound, lets see… what's missing? Foresight, courage and a sincere desire to support life on our only planet. Check!

  16. Representatives are traitors to humanity. We should not even have to ask them to stop destroying because they are our servants. Not the other way. Take your power back. You are not powerless.

  17. Nadia Nazar stay the course… Humanity depends on the courage of you, along with our Millennials, and our Generation Z …Less, the likes of this unknowledgeable politician. …. As a Baby Boomer, I have great disdain for the condescending, lack of insight, of representatives such as Doug Lamborn, who gladly takes the dark money from the oil industry, while Environmental scientists discuss a 12 year time frame of "No Return" for out of control climate disaster….. 

    His lack of respect for you, lack of vision for saving this planet, and lack of understanding of the climate time frame we are under, represents everything that has disgustingly brought us to this catastrophic point in time…… YOU, represent everything that is ethically courageous, in rising up to fight for this world….From one human being to another…Thank You!….God Speed Nadia…God Speed!
