Way to go, Chile! Guess your people heard the wisdom whispered by those 3,000+ year old trees in the Patagonian region. Problem is, nature isn’t selectively purging the vermin; she’s poised to swat away entire populations when pushed any further. I fear human beings have overstayed their welcome in this beautiful blue oasis

@Adox Artist Nature is older and wiser, she knows the amount of energy ( collective consciousness + life force) is constant in a closed system..life will continue even after this generation is culled, maybe a people/ species more worthy of sacred earth’s hospitality will take our place

Listen to tons of music, read books and easy TV shows, like Friends and stuff, so that you first learn the basics. Learning English is mostly having a strong base. From that, you’ll just go up and learn new things with daily life and the stuff you usually have access to.

Kudos for any climate action, though carbon net zero by 2050 isn’t ambitious enough. I do hope they update that goal for it to be by 2030 like they mentioned. Climate “mitigation” path is already gone. I wish they’d stop saying it. There’s no “saving” or “fixing” or “solving” climate change. Not anymore. We’re already irreversibly committed to a dangerous over 2 degree Centigrade global warming regardless of what we do (so the Paris Agreement with its 1.5-2C aim is also a lie). At least 2 degrees is already locked in: the oceans have absorbed most of the heat, the soil will start releasing additional carbon once it warms, the load of methane being released from the melting permafrost, the fact that even if we stopped all emissions tomorrow the last 10-30 years’ CO2 will still come through and start heating the planet LATER due to “carbon lagging”, and the fact that if we stopped the fossil fuels and the air pollution clears, more sun rays will shine through, etc. The IPCC report upon which the Paris Agreement leans does not take any of this into account. And There is no “carbon budget” left. It’s already overspent. We have to stop all emissions. Stat. Industrial-growth-based civilization as we know it is at its end.
Here’s a climate scientist’s academic paper on how social collapse at this point is inevitable where he also reviews the dire climate science of the last few years upon which he made this conclusion:
Here’s another climate scientist’s explaining what sort of climate action we need and why if we kept ON the Paris Agreement trajectory, we’d be heading towards 3-4 degree global warming and this civilization is finished. He’s with the Extinction Rebellion.
Please stop the lies.

From what I’ve seen, among Latin Americans, Chileans definitively have english tamed the best, accent and grammar wise. Mexicans tend to have very iffy english, with very ñoor pronounciation, Colombians I’ve met are decent, but the Argentineans are abismal at it. I’ve gone entire conferences where a single word couldn’t be understood from the Argentinean guest and even in Spanish I’d rather get anyone else, since it is it’s own sort of dialect and accent (yes, I genuinely preffer the Chileans and their garbled up Spanish). Point is, Chile really is an example to follow after in Latin America.

Thing is I am a CHILEAN and this man on the video is not representative of the MAJORITY of Chileans, and Argentinians well that’s a whole another story! Hahahaha Chileans have improved their English after decades of I doctrination on American culture, CHile now is a little “US”, beginning before Pinochet but consolidated by his dictatorship with the financial and logistic support of the US. So no wonder that “Chileans” now look more like “Chicanos” than Chileans, or more like Puerto Ricans than Chileans… It is very weird the hybrid that came out with Chilean men… With the mix of Europeans, American culture and MAPUCHE genetics… Weird specie indeed…

Destroying our economy for fool’s errands is beneficial now???? Climate changes, humans are not causing global warming, and green energy IS A FARCE. There is no such thing as green energy. Nuclear is bullshit. Wind is bullshit. Solar is bullshit. ITS ALL BULLSHIT.
“Fossil” fuels are the cheapest. cleanest. most efficient form of energy we have, and we will be using them for the next 200+ years unless we actually develop technologies that work, like fusion.
And then if the idea of making a mini sun on the planet that can’t be shut off doesn’t scare you…. Remember just like nuclear it can blow up and cause more devastation than 100 nuclear blasts or 1,000,000 nuclear power plant meltdowns.
