troops on heightened standby. none of them will be going to ukraine, he says. but of course, if there were any need to allies like in poland or romania countries bordering ukraine, he'd be more than happy to send them there. if there was a need. the u. s. coast guard is searching for survivors. after boat capsized near florida, a man was found clinging to the small vessel about 70 kilometers from

overwhelmed poor countries. it is disrupted societies entire nations, the world in fact. but there are still people who dismiss scientific expertise on its causes and severity. media outlets on sending push notifications to our phones are loading us to every new development. and a shocking number of governments remain resistant to the kind of radical action the situation demands. that's because the crisis on referring to isn't the current of ours. it's the ecological breakdown of our planet. with blue, on the 11th of march 2020, the world health organization announced we have brung the alarm bell loud and clear . we were in the grip of the curve at 19 pandemic. we cannot say this loudly enough order, clearly enough or often enough. all countries could still change the course of the span demik. the global reaction was at a scale wave rarely seen before. governments responded with a mix of county politics and politicized camps. within the some countries managing to put a method to the madness. regardless of how they got a significant number of countries winning to look down with some cities and regions being put into actual quarantine. it was stunning how such wide range and policy measures were brought into effect in such a short space of time. especially when you consider that a decade has been a much bigger, more threatening, more long running crisis meeting urgent global action. the 1st thing i'd say is that the climate crisis is such that it makes the cobit 19 pandemic look really bad. judgment beer is a british journalist and activist whose focus is on the state of the climate and is so much bigger. it is so much more threatening to our survival, not least because it threatens our food supply us. this is something we're discussing for to lift them up. but besides, it's pretty clear that between 3 and 4 degrees centigrade of global aging above pre industrial levels, we go in to massive met food deficit, structural famine, where crucial bread baskets collapse, turn into dust bones. this is genuinely threatening to the survival of humanity. and if we think people fighting over toilet paper in the supermarkets, looks ugly. i really, really hope we don't meant to witness people fighting over food. since the pandemic was announced and looked down began, george has been pointing out the connection between the club crisis and the jew health and economic crises that we're facing right now. one of the main link points is the subject. he came back to repeatedly during our interview capitalism. i think there are 3 fundamental problems with capitalism that are not compatible with the long term survival of humanity. one is that it relies for its apparent success on perpetual economic growth, which would be fine if the planet were growing at the same rate. but if we were to follow the prescriptions of the world buying co v o e c d, where we sort of maintain a steady track, 3 percent growth doesn't sound like very much. that means it doubles in just 24 years and then doubles again and 48 years already. you know, we've gone beyond the limits of the planet can take. the 2nd problem is this extraordinary belief that the numbers in your bank account equate to a right to an natural wealth. what possible connection is that between those numbers in a bank account and the right to an attractive land go, a private jet that's going to pollute to a certain amount of atmosphere or to buy blue friend tuna, sushi your, to our panel. your 4th home is mahogany, because in all those cases you are taking away natural wealth from someone else. and the 3rd one is that capitalism promises all private luxury. that's why we go along with it, because one day we'll get that to where all temporarily embarrassed millionaires and they can't possibly fulfill it. is if it did, we would trash our entire life support systems. the all sustainable exploitation of nature has a direct connection to the health crisis went out facing just months into the lockdown officials from the u. n. w h o and weld wildlife fund. old stated that the illegal wildlife trade and deforestation went driving forces behind the increasing number of so called genetic diseases. illnesses like the current of ours that have leaped from wild life to humans. seems at this stage from what we know to have spread as a result of the wildlife trade. that as a result of people mopping up rad wildlife from around the world, you brought humans into contact. close contact with species have never been in close contact before. i 1st became aware of this 30 years ago when i lived in the amazon and every so often that be an outbreak. rabies always in the forest to dance . and the reason for that was that the vampire bats should been feeding on sloth, monkeys, in the tree, tops in the canopy, came down to earth, and the trees were film sun feeding on people instead. and people were terrified at these outbreaks. rabies rampaging dress that pro healthcare and so lodged, i'm so tired, and that piqued my interest in how destruction of nature can lead to destruction of p. george isn't exaggerating here. according to recent reports from the world wildlife fund, approximately 60 to 70 percent of the new diseases that have emerged in humans over the past 30 years, have had a do nordic origin. h i. v and z cur emerged from primates, a bowler and saws from bats. this was traced back to candles, and in the case of bird flew, will the answers in the name, the birds, primarily industrial, farmed poultry. all of these diseases spread to humans from animal populations under conditions of considerable environmental pressure. alien, a broom is a brazilian generalist and filmmaker who lives in the heart of the amazon in brazil, the spring name stress, me,

be. but alien is focus is not just on the plant and animal life that has been destroyed. her point is, there are communities of people who can have a net positive effect on the world. and even those people are at risk from an economic audiology of relentless growth. and the destruction associated with it is to echo vidal nipples disk, as a door to skip botched us afloat as to flickered yada for

narrow elaine them. i spoke date of loss is due to which be some meal. he says press on, low capital leaves more elijah straw just really so in that case the human economy is a subsystem of the natural ecos here. and the only thing that enables it to grow is its continuous capacity to extract resources and energy from the rest of the sphere . ill reese is a professor of human ecology. he has a compelling way of describing the human takeover of the planet. if we went back 10000 years, they've done a very good the bio mass. sure. weight of human beings concentrated far less than one percent of the total bio massive mammals on earth. today, humans are now 32 percent or 34 percent. but if we had our mystic animals, cattle sheets, biggs, and so on, that's another 60 plus percent. so in total owners today, human beings and their domestic stock are somewhere between $95.98 and a half percent of the total mammalian. so while nature has been displaced to the tiny fringes, one of the markers of the human impact on the planet is something with come to know as carbon footprint, the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions. however, there's also something known as the ecological footprint, a concept co developed by bill that compares the total natural resources consumed by an individual group against the planets ability to renew it. if you look at the ecological footprint of any advanced, highly populated rich country, they are in a state of ecological. so if everyone live the way people would require the bio capacity of say, 3 plan efforts. if everyone live the way we do, on average in canada, we would need the bio capacity for 5 senators and we don't have we can only live this way because we are effectively ex, over explaining the global commerce europe would have included century ago and not been for the capacity to import resources. ready and from the colonies, the ecological footprints of the rich, very rich, a thousands of times greater than the global average. we can have great public swimming pools and public tennis courts and public art galleries and museums and playgrounds and parks. but if everybody tries to do it for themselves, then in my country london recover off of england, england would cover half of europe and europe would cover the whole world. there wouldn't be physical room for everybody to live, let alone the ecological space. being able to measure environmental impact has been crucial, not only to help identify which human activities, communities in countries bear, the biggest responsibility for climate hom, but also to understand the populations that bed the biggest brunt of the dual. a paper published in the science and medical journal, the lancet in september 2020. so to quantify national responsibility for climate breakdown. the findings indicated that high income countries, most of them, among the most industrialized nations in the global north, were responsible for 90 percent of exits, emissions,

on miracle, but basically much at the mailbox i to the covey back in march, as the enormity of the closet crisis was becoming clear, i saw this tweet from climate change activist. it said if the media covered the climate crisis, the way they are covering corona virus constantly and thoroughly, than the public would be awake to the crisis and the whole world would be mobilizing to stop it. like folks have said, climate change needs to hire coven 19th publicist. i asked georgian eliana what they thought of this. it's really interesting thought and credit, clever a cheeky, ready to put it. it has to be said 1st off that a lot. busy of governments, communication and grant viruses been really, really bad, probably minister going to a bitch of a model when oster explain what his new laws actually were. it's it's, it's 6 in 6 in hospitality, but as are on the started not successful. karen of ours kind of does its own communication issues, its own warnings and says, right, you got a washer, and you go to practice physical distancing. you've got to do all the things which this virus tomorrow comes with, imperative. i can stop before you know, and she will make us still edge in march. and we took foss to we, they quando us this source. although his article him well to our core dice clinical 2nd back called looking to me while the school there to still albany in august. but i think this will give you as aggravation but of yourself. this is the standard percent good to hear those of the source is no basis a is not a solution may sound too long, but yeah, keep in mind that i could easily much governments have been forced to step up and have been forced to tell us what to do, and i think now they need to tell us with common breakdown is over a while saying right, we're building you were airports, but please don't fly. and we were encouraged mutual growth. please minimize your material for a written messages just so confused. all you end up with it's cognitive dissonance, the drastic response demanded by close it inadvertently gave us a glimpse of what we thought serious and somewhat sustain change could look like. as the virus spread around the world, air travel grant to a halt car trips with significantly cut back industrial manufacturing dipped. and yet daughter in june revealed only a 5 percent lower emissions rate than at the same point in 2019, even though normal activity has not yet fully restarted the target, we need to hit 2 of at the climate catastrophe predicted by the u. n. back in 2018 is an emissions reduction of 7.6 percent. so our unexpected experiment in reducing our ecological impacts has revealed the sheer extent of the changes that have to be made for the health of the planet. but as governments address the economic fall out of the pandemic, environmental laws and regulations across many countries have been weakened or torn down at an alarming state. this was particularly evident in the united states when limits on pollution and carbon emissions were lifted. and in brazil, where there was a surgery executive acts by president jabal scenario. no job, but you also a lot of them each you thought his shaft is you can see his grades are so nice, jane to fit it out. he's got his us. so to me on being young is will name. i'm finest lace that i me boom, boom image of the sprog. his lot is to go vietnam, but i but he, amazon frat protege, s booked le sizing genus bakovich them much equal. make it simple, coming that fate. was it was clear, those skills, lab drawings, the florida, asked those just about the door is, is no fuzzy home, or if you think of what's been happening in brazil, the destruction of the amazon, the abandonment of environmental regulations. the bid increased before a station of the one of the most bio diverse habitats on the planet. it's a travesty against all human time. but it's not that much different from what goes on in every other capital on earth. where governments are beholden to this work because if we're going to build this economy back bigger, better, stronger, we're backing business to get through this to come out the other side and the grow in the future. and we want to make sure that we get the economy going strongly, and we want to get consumer spending again, what everyone talks and we're getting back to normal. we talk about getting back to the to percent annual growth fitness, minimally acceptable or national places. the 3 percent growth is mentally acceptable for the world as a whole. busy but those have prescriptions for the continued scouring of the appointment. if you insist on doing that, you will destroyed the very basis of your own existence. in fact, this historical data to show that often after a significant dipping emissions comes the spike this into the international climate and environment research and osley trucks, emissions, and it's documented house since the 19th sixty's key events that have resulted in emissions falling, the 2 oil crises the dissolution of the soviet union, the 19 ninety's, asian financial crisis, and the 2008 financial crash. they came a period of growing emissions. it also the as the cf upon been me a

reusable shopping bags to energy efficient home systems. and even bender tooth brushes over the past decade. also, there's been a surgeon individual efforts around the world to live more so called eco friendly lives, while his unmistakable power in the collective action of many individuals. giant corporations can render these efforts irrelevant simply because their actions are many orders of magnitude more impactful on the plan. just take a look at the breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions since 1988. $100.00 companies alone are responsible for an astonishing 71 percent. there is literally nothing individual action can achieve if big businesses do not make fundamental changes. so why is this mythology of individual green transformation pushed so aggressively as a viable solution to this global climate crisis? well, as vested interests, of course, fossil fuel companies, big manufacturers, the airline corporations, intensive, industrial agriculture. all these giant industries spend billions to lobby policymakers and to shape global messaging, so they can pursue their business. shifting the earnest on to individuals takes the heat off them. well, an essential element of neoliberalism is the individuation of play. you don't have any money. well let's because you're lazy and feckless. never mind the massive inequality of mal distribution. well, you want to protect the environment. well, stop by investing. never mind the fact that the fossil fuel companies have, i've got that close into the whole apparatus of gum. so it's all about passing on blank from structural factors on to individual people. so part of the, the kind of neil a robo wrote mythology is that technology will solve our problems. so your climate change is a big deal, but it's caused by and say, the burning fossil fuels. so all we need to do is shift to renew green energy and people feel like it, i don't have to worry about climate change anymore because technology, his softball, and hub plans capture c o 2. what is either going to plans calculated to if these industrial plants had technology, they captured carbon like trees. we could help lower emissions. now think about if you truly believe and we teach this in our business schools all over the planet that through groves. while we can create the wealth needed, theresa technologies needed to replace nature if you really are so effort centric. so self centered on the success of our sweeps, then the sky for women. i don't happen to believe that as long as people can still make huge fortunes of the system that resist any effort to redesign the system before it includes on it. so. so now it's beginning, hold on. so, and that's what we can moscow much isn't good. and she thinks that dawning teaching math while token in

collective imagination in directions we wouldn't have contemplated before. and as we take stock of everything with land from this pandemic, we need to apply it to the much vida, ongoing emergency of the environmental crisis. after all, that is the biggest health problem we will ever have to collectively face. it's time for the pendulum to swing back toward a greater sense of balance, not only in the relationships among nations, but in the relationships between human kind and the rest of nikos. whereby as a species, as in global civilization, we can live more equitably within the wild,
