 dystopian time. Arctic scientists say we may have already passed climate tipping point. Now the implications of this are very, very vast, but let's just go through here for a minute and read what this has to say. After the largest expedition ever to the North Pole, researchers say Arctic ice is receding faster than ever before and that we may have already passed the point of no return on global heating. The expedition's leader Marcus Rex presented the team's findings on Tuesday and he says, there are several tipping points in the climate system which lead to irreversible sudden changes which are triggered when the planet reaches a certain temperature. We have seen that we are on the verge of that tipping point which will lead to the disappearance of the ice in the Arctic summer. Now if that wasn't horrifying enough, a couple of years ago we got the report from the IPCC which says we had about 12 years to act if we wanted to stop catastrophic levels of climate change. A couple of years have already passed and now, wrong video, now leaked IPCC draft climate report reads like a 4000 page indictment of humanity's failure. This is a warning of existential risk of survival of collapse set extinction rebellion. Now for more on this Andrea Germano staff writer of common dreams explains Agents France Press reported Monday on the contents of a leaked draft of a United Nations Intergovernmental Climate Panel report which warned that devastating effects of warming of a warming world are set to hit far sooner than previously thought with impacts including an additional tens of millions of people facing hunger by 2050. We're all going to be alive by then we're all going to see the shit show. Now we're not going to get too deep into this but I do want to get the reaction from the panel here because this is obviously worrying and I mean this show is called dystopian time so we're uh we're starting out diving head first into the pile of shit. So Dylan as a young man who in your golden years where you know you in theory should be retiring you know you're going to be seeing climate apocalypse. Do you have any optimism left in you or do you feel as if we are headed straight off a cliff as a species? Well as a young lad obviously it concerns me. I can't be one of the people who like well I'm 92 years old. I lived through these wonderful car manufacturing industries and having a wonderful union on my back. I'm not going to be able to live through that reality. I got to live through the reality I'm in which shows like me never being able to own a home maybe in apartments and we all know the current dystopia we live in. Yeah wonderful you know see I know how to host but the thing is it's it's really uh when you look at it like I can't whether or not it's going to happen or not I'd rather go down fighting you know I'd rather have that be humanity story let's say we're we're fucked let's just assume right now that we're fucked anyway right it would have been it'd be a shit movie if we ended it just be like eh right if we have even the sliver of a chance we should still struggle for it because even the thing is this person as said in the article there's multiple tipping points so it's like we passed the first tipping point oh god that's terrible the solution isn't well okay let's jump off all the tipping points it's like breaking one leg it's like well let's bring all three of our other limbs and like gut ourselves publicly in the times in the square so I would say that whether or not we've passed the timing point even though of course I hope we haven't we should of course do everything we can to avoid crossing the other tipping points sadly there's multiple economic and geopolitical advantages to multiple nations and politicians to not do it the russians of course want us to continue to be reliant on oil and natural gas because that props up the entirety of the economy that has uh kept in a backwater the united states has uh two parties which still take large amounts of donations from oil and gas companies which want to continue their reign in the united states and multiple politicians who still deny climate change our last president of the united states the most powerful person on the planet denied climate change was even real and then the chinese economy and the chinese nation still has a lot of growing to do in their eyes and the by the time they would go off of coal in their projections it would be like 2050 which we would still go past multiple more tipping points so every major geopolitical force has multiple incentives to literally do nothing because they can't see 20 30 40 years down the line uh the the biggest sadly the biggest motivation i see in the united states right now for us to actually address climate change is that we're seeing more reports every day on how this could actually affect our military effectiveness and um it's sad that it could take that to actually make us act yeah yeah and um whatever makes us act um is good but i like the thing that you said about basically you know if we're going to go down we should go down fighting um on that note denims what do you think ultimately um is going to happen like do you believe that we're going to see a green new deal within the next 10 years um give us your thoughts on this situation because i feel like i've kind of embraced the black pill or i've taken the black pill and i am a bit of a doomer uh what are your thoughts on this if you can give me some optimism that would be much appreciated so i really want to believe that we can push for policies that eventually you know maybe remove us from the hellscape that we are currently barreling towards and i know you prepared another segment with uh Dave Rubin and michael nulls and that's truly like the epitome of like intelligence online it it really sent me to watch and i think we'll do it despite all of the rightoid misinformation like the right wingers see articles like this and then immediately they think like oh this is like the 10th time they've said it's it's going to be over for us and they don't really understand what these reports actually mean and how there are like maybe multiple tipping points that like cause like irreversible damage and after that point you can't go any further um and so it's frustrating that that exists but i i'm i'm really like happy with the amount of leftists online that are making videos making content and like maybe pushing people away from these ideas and the more people we push away from these ideas the more people we get in favor of voting democrat voting people who actually support things like the green new deal so i have my fingers crossed i'm gonna believe because i'd rather believe than not believe hey i'll take it a little bit of copium no and um you know that's a great point i will say that the urgency like how bad the situation is and how we need to address it yesterday i do feel as if there has been a bit of a paradigm shift and really i started to notice this with the ipcc report um shark what are your thoughts on this situation do you actually think that um it's there's going to be this time where eventually we just elect enough millennials and progressives and they take action where is there going to be some sort of you know um worldwide uh groundswell um kind of like we saw over the last couple of years with the uh kids climate march the school walkouts uh what are your thoughts on this what do you think it's going to take in order to have any movement on this issue i think one of the really big things that it'll take is um people seeing it in their personal lives so when you can't walk outside in the summertime without like shoes on because the concrete is literally melting you when you can't grow anything really and you like miss a day of watering and all and like the little because like a lot of millennials they love their plants i personally love plants i have a whole rack of plants like house plants over here i show it on stream sometimes i i love i love growing things um when when those people when you plant like your little garden and it just like completely just like raises over like you're living out in the middle of nowhere like courage um i really feel like those sorts of things that start to impact people's lives a little bit more um are going to start to push them that way and i mean we've been seeing it where every single year is the hottest year ever i think you're really starting to get people to be like hey you know we really got a problem here and like like dylan said i mean just because we passed the first tipping point if we have um doesn't mean that it's over there's lots of problems and who knows maybe like sometime in the next like 100 200 years or something maybe if we like really uh get our act together your kids or your grandkids will start to see like us maybe pulling back from from some of that and the co2's um leaving a little bit or more more solutions getting um being brought up because science changes every single year and we're we're moving a lot faster um i don't like to take the black pill on like literally anything i really feel like there have been hundreds of generations all throughout human history that thought that this was going to be the end um and i feel like we're no different um but you know our our problems are now really a lot bigger than your local town um getting rated but for those sorts of people um you getting on the you getting on like the lords bad side and then just like slaughtering your entire town i mean that was that was a reality right um i feel like humans are um incredibly resilient and um i like to look at it in in the sense of um we're as climate is getting worse um more people are talking about it um and i think um and you know we can talk about capitalism and everything and i i do do believe that we won't really see like a real real fix to this we always want to like slip back into the easiest like lowest common denominator as long as we still have like capitalism around but if we have to work in the system that we do um i i really think that um we we're moving in a in a good direction now whether it's fast enough we can debate on that um but i i don't really like the idea of giving up and um i i really think that um we we can make a turnaround as long as we um uh make sure that we stay on it
