Try a Petro, Unilateral Montreal Protocol to solve Climate Change on the timescale scientists tell us is needed: relative to 2019 levels, cap all fossil-emitting activities at all levels and junctures below 90% in 2021, 80% in 2022, 70% in 2023 down to 0% before 2031. Do it globally. Do it multilaterally. Do it alone. If enough people do this unilaterally, show the benefits of pruning fossil deadwood in an orderly transition to enough others with influence on fossil policy and business, then we will see alternatives grow and fossil exit the Market.

Ya da ya ya young people think that history did not exist before they were born, wake up your thoughts are not your own, you believe what you have been told and you act upon information that is not verified. You need to go deeper and not pay attention to what you have been told instead figure out why they are saying it and where are they leading you. You may not have a ring in your nose physically it does not mean your thinking is not effected by one.

Befor we talk about Global Taxes, we should takle the tax evasion most big companies are practicing, right? Also generlizing regulations globally is not a good idea to begin with, each nation requires their own catered to them. I mean this even applies to regions and even districts inside of nations, otherwise many people are getting left behind. Then there is China which is a whole other beast where deseases flurish in their wet markets and because of their foreign business got spread quickly worldwide, not to mention that globalism basically sold us all out to them, there is just so much to unpack. It doesn’t mean there can’t or shouldn’t be global collaboration, but there are a lot of downsides as well and that has to be considered. A lot of nations are not down for it but they are ready to exploit it regardless.

“In a world of ever-growing population and declining resources, humanity will face a great decision, a fundamental choice in which direction to go. Do nations compete and challenge each other for the remaining resources? Will the wealthy nations of the world insist that their lifestyle must be preserved, further degrading the rest of the world, robbing the poorer people of their own ability to sustain themselves? If humanity chooses this path, it will enter a period of prolonged conflict and permanent decline.”
“Yet if humanity chooses a different path, recognizing the seriousness of their reality and the great consequences (they face), then wise individuals and leaders can recognize that divided, humanity will fail, but united humanity can start a new course, prepare for the impacts of the ‘Great Waves of change’ and set in course the beginnings of a greater cooperation and a greater unity than humanity as a whole has ever experienced before. This will be generated now not by religious principles or by high ethics, but by sheer necessity itself.” (quotes and excerpts from The Great Waves of Change, Marshall Vian Summers, New Message org)

She’s a tool of the Great Reset fascists from the WEF. “Global Shapers”
She’s part of the Reset youth brigade –
“He (Schwab) is also a supporter of the proposed global New Deal for Nature, particularly via Voice for the Planet, which was launched at the WEF in Davos in 2019 by the Global Shapers, a youth-grooming organisation created by Schwab in 2011 and aptly described by investigative journalist Cory Morningstar as “a grotesque display of corporate malfeasance disguised as good”.
In his 2020 book, Schwab actually lays out the way that fake “youth activism” is being used to advance his capitalist aims.
He writes, in a remarkably frank passage: “Youth activism is increasing worldwide, being revolutionized by social media that increases mobilization to an extent that would have been impossible before. It takes many different forms, ranging from non-institutionalized political participation to demonstrations and protests, and addresses issues as diverse as climate change, economic reforms, gender equality and LGBTQ rights. The young generation is firmly at the vanguard of social change. There is little doubt that it will be the catalyst for change and a source of critical momentum for the Great Reset”. (64)

Your commenting here too! LoL Rebecca. Someone needs a sucker. I commented earlier about how this video seems off… and you replied to my comment saying i was deaf. I watched this video again, so your behavior cause me to give a second view…. but your behavior needs correction. After i watched this video for the second time, i went scrolling through the comment section, seen this comment by GG stating what i was already thinking. It is you Rebecca who is afraid.

Her perspective seems to be that it’s the grand ideas that matter, rather than how they actually play out. She seems to think the average people of the world are sitting around thinking that they enjoy being biased. Most people want to get along and have everything work out well for everyone. Assuming otherwise is where the problems come in, that’s where the problems are nurtured. Everyone wants a seat at the table, and everyone wants to know exactly what is being asked of them. No one wants to sign up now for something vague. People want to know where they stand, and what will be required. Why is that hard to understand? The details actually matter.

Hello to all the science deniers in the comment section. lols
Man made global warming is a fact.
In the 70’s the ferns and other plants under the redwoods were above my waist, but was starting to thin out by the 80’s. By the 90’s there were around half as many ferns and plants on the forest floor. Now the forest floor of the redwood park I grew up a few blocks away from is nothing but sticks and dirt, with a few plants here and there. In the 70’s it used to rain here on average 28 days during the summer months alone. Now we are lucky to get that much rain in the entire year.
Since they started keeping track in 1930, 17 of California’s 20 biggest fires happened in the last 20 years. That was before this year. I now live a few miles away from what used to be California’s largest fire ever at over 400,000 acres. But there is a fire burning about 60 miles north of me that was over 1 million acres now.
4,000,000 acres have burned in California this year alone, many people have lost their homes (some lost everything), some even lost their lives. But because we are all lefties who disagree with their precious gop, the trumpers don’t care at all. All they care about is “owning the libs.”
Well, I have some interesting news for trumpers: Most of the people who live in this county are republicans, but because of misinformed people like them causing so much destruction by trusting trump and people like him, many of them are voting for Biden now.
It wouldn’t even matter to any group other than trumpers what sort of people lived here though. But trumpers want to murder (or at the very least: let die) anyone who disagrees with their hatred, refusal to accept responsibility for the freedom of others, and their murderous intentions.
Here are just a couple more of the millions of articles that support this:
Do you trumpers care nothing even for the future of your own children? Is owning the libs really all that you care about?

The ONLY global problem that needs to be solved is to ELIMINATE “socialism” in ANY form and promote or adopt American INDIVIDUALISM! Unless this happens, NOTHING else is.
BAM: There it is “socialism” (taxation) give us your money so we can do with as we want! So which form of “socialism” should we adopt worldwide!
We need “governance” code for we need to have control over you to force you to do it OUR way! Oh, and if you don’t get on board we will punish you! Democratic is code for “socialism”! “Unite” across the world …….. HOLY CRAP!

Friends,
Did you know the the Prophet Daniel from the Bible was shown a vision of our time by the God who has created every living thing and sets up and throws down kingdoms? Daniel was shown a statue that represented the kingdoms of the earth up until when Jesus comes back in glory to take the righteous to Heaven. According to historians, Daniel lived about 530 years before Jesus, which is about 2,550 years from our day.
Daniel said that “just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so the peoplese will mix with one another, but will not hold together any more than iron mixes with clay. In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever” (Daniel 2:41-44, NIV).
Our world is undoubtedly screwed up, but only Jesus and the perfect law of God is the answer to our problems. Globalism cannot hold our world together—at least not for long. Jesus has promised to come back soon (John 14:1-4). Our world is a product of thousands of years of sin. We have degraded ourselves and the world. However, Jesus is coming back very soon (Revelation 22:12-14).

We already are solving things transnationally. The reasons why things are ineffective is really complicated, but even so we are doing some things globally that have been successful. Just look at the Global Crop Diversity Trust: making sure we will have food if our crops fail and cooperating in over 2000 projects worldwide. Or the IPCC: researching and making recommendations for climate change. Or maybe the IAEA: stopping us bombing each other. Or the OECD, Doctors Without Borders, Organisation of African Caribbean and Pacific States, the WTO or IMF, the International Court of Justice, the International Institute of Education, the Universal Postal Union, G20…etc. Sure cooperating in a new organisation is fine, but don’t forget to look where we already are doing it! I find it sort of cool.
