You don't need a higher learning to see the effect our impact has had on our planet. you need common sense, nothing else and you will learn on your own what WE need to do.
David basically describes us as a parasite on the planet. Am I the only one here that finds that offensive? Our prosperity and achievements are a direct result of our intelligence and our ability to unleash human capitol. Far from being a parasite I'd say. Shame on you David.
@TheBelaire i was offended by his daughter the famous girl who talked at the UN in 1992 she is a darling of the earth movement and no one will ever say anything bad about her i get sh*t for saying these ppl are going to bring us into the NWO and it earth religion.. They all offend me because they go tot far and i am not an animal BTW
@wendydarling17241 I detect a theme in your comments! Best source of hard facts on peak oil (as mentioned on the other video) would be The Oil Drum and Energy Bulletin.com. On the general subject of Overshoot, the seminal work was William Catton's book of the same name. I'm a data-geek too, so I totally understand the concern. Cheers! Jon
He~ is saying we're we may be a super species, but we still don't care enough about what people are doing on the other side of the mountain or sea, to make a great enough difference to save us from extinction.
Super species? If it is right, it is OK to say that we need super power and super plans and we have to be careful when Someone sell us on these new taxes. Don't you know what I mean, check the videos of my channel and you will open your eyes once for all all!
If it is, than it's an unviable, non-sustainable, ultimately destructive "value".
Look at all the screaming going on over Cap and Trade... like spoiled children who can't stand the inconvenience of being accountable to the future.
Expect more screaming from that quarter.
Or, learn from the past and look at the societies and civilizations that didn't adapt to the winds of change: Easter Island, the Maya, the Greenland Norse...
Suzuki is the epitome of hypocrisy. Just ask him how he got to this speaking engagement or anywhere else for that matter. He flew, took a limousine, etc... I can guarantee he didn't walk or back pack from his sprawling mansions in BC or Ontario. When he travels it's first class, 5 star all the way. His carbon footprint due to his touring dwarfs by a hundred fold what the vast majority of Canadians produce. Anyone who considers a human being no better than a maggot deserves nothing but scorn.
Great guy. Too bad he's been sold on man made climate change. I'd have thought he would have done some of his own research. I guess he must have just watched an inconvenient truth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes I am retarded, ignorant, and very naïve in many subjects that I do not know both sides of the story. I do not like to be educated on speculation. However, on my last comment, I will not apologize if I offend some people. Either will I call others down for their beliefs.Take the time to see David Suzuki Exposed Salmon Culture on Utube. Perhaps those I have angered can get a picture of why I think the way I do.
what is the point i dont understand what his whole point is all he talks about is global warminghe doesnt explain why all he does is tell us the obviously like the comercials hang dry your clothes.... it the obvious he is jsut a caqndian version of al Gore
Who the fuck is David Suzuki? 20 years ago he worked with fruit flies in the lab, and then retired. He knows nothing of climate science. If we meet the Kyoto accord requirement for green house gas, Canada would go into a massive rescission. **News Flash** humans are not responsible for climate change....It's a natural cycle. We are being sucked in by governments and the media. Google this "ICSC" or "International Climate Science Coalition" There is no warming....only normal change.
Mr. Suzuki is anti corporation. always has been. It doesn't matter if its proved by science. The new global warming scare endorsed by a Polotician Al Gore and the Politicians employee, the IPCC, are the best thing thats happened to Dave in the last 30 years. Keep clapping hippies, David is back!
The most numerus mamal!!!! Were like rats!!!! .6 of 1 degree over 100 years. I'm scared David!! half a degree!!!!
I use way less energy than David. His house is bigger. His travel costs are more. Stick to you "tribal" group David and quit trying to tell me I'm bad.

Everybody is saying stuff just but its your world you have to make the decision.
Your choice affects friends, family, everybody...
If we continue doing the wrong choice our world is going to wipe.
You got a chance to make your decisions.
Suzuki is using planes like first class to go to citys and explain to people and hes a person trying to change the world.
