"America is an oil company w/ an army…" George Carlin. spot on.
Exxon/Mobile has more in common w/Trump/Biden/Mitch McConnell/Nancy Pelosi/Chuck Schumer etc. than working poor citizens in the US. They don't represent us. Environmental destruction and consequential climate change is happening right now and has already reached the rest of the world. There's big money to be made in GND or green/alter/power/resources.
Great interview, thank you! For me personally to understand how much climate change is an issue of race and social justice really opened my eyes
Unfortunately Josh Fox's pandering to the Democratic Party undercuts everything he claims to be working for. Either he's stupid, or he's dishonest. #DEMEXIT #GREENENTER
I like Fox, but he didn't answer the question about who's actually "spoiling" elections. He gave Reagan Democrats a pass. Disappointing.
Would not have voted for either trump or clinton if they were the only choice. Happy to give Stein my vote.
I would have to say, forty years of voting the lesser evil has led to a whole lot of evil, it does not work, it achieves nothing. In fact the lessor evil often turns out to be the greater evil just with better marketing, better Teleprompter scripts. Keep trying the same thing over and over and failing every time is the definition of insanity.
Jill Stein trying and losing still demonstrates trying is worth it, not even trying and voting the lessor evil, is the definition of giving up, it has not worked in forty years, why would it work now, seriously, why ?!?
With respect to his take on the Green Party I respectfully disagree. We're back to keeping the same corrupt corporate system going and I'm sorry Bernie is really one of them.
PUTIN is in on this!?
Josh we're not short of information it's action we need . . . XR has showed us the way . . . shut down Washington peacefully and they'll cave.
Don't ever bring in 200mn more people to the USA without first talking, very seriously talking about this with the First Nations of the USA, the American Indians, if you prefer that reference. This is THEIR territory and the imperialistic, …, genocidal ways that now have long been committed against them must cease, in total. If people who can't or refuse to bring themselves to this level of RESPECT disagree, then they should all pack up and return to where their ancestral roots came from, imperialistically, etc. As it is, the USA, as known of today, only exists through imperialism, colonialism, hegemony, hypocrisy, etc. I'm not of the First Nations at all, not even métis, but I don't forget about them and neither should anyone else of the USA, as well as the same being true in Canada. Bringing in another 200mn people to the USA long term is most surely NOT a good idea at all anyway.
The elephant in the room: "The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification).
“A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only cut greenhouse gas emissions."
"The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife."
Thanks for inviting Josh Fox to the show!
**SULFATE AEROSOLS***SULFATE AEROSOLS***SULFATE AEROSOLS**
Deposition of SULFURIC ACID from stratospheric GEOENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS, PERTURBATE in our atmosphere, resulting in Secondary Organic AEROSOLS (SOAs), is a major component of 'FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION, and the most likely, contributing factor of CLIMATE CHANGE!!!
The potential negative effects to control Earth's temperature by SPRAYING small PARTICLES into the stratosphere, to then be PURTURBATED, is not being diligently characterized. Human, [anthropogenic] sources of atmospheric SULFUR oxides, including SULFURIC ACID deposition from stratospheric CLIMATE ENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS, along with burning of fossil fuels, accounts for 75% to 80% of the human production of SULFUR oxides, in the air…the US alone, releases about 20 million tons of SULFUR dioxide into the air each year…by comparison, the large eruption of the volcanic Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 released between 15 and 30 million tons.
Change in CO2 temperature is NOT a change in atmospheric temp…CO2 comprises only 0.4% of ALL gases above our heads. The trick of climate doomsayers is to draw their conclusions, obtained from the Arrhenius formula for CO2 (only 0.04% of atmosphere), then apply that change of temperature to the WHOLE global climate system; this is bad science, at best…but closer to FRAUD! Is the atmosphere composed only of CO2…why calculate the change of temperature of a mass of carbon dioxide, and then after say it is the change of temperature of this trace gas that now becomes the temperature of the entire global climate system?!?! Even if Arrhenius was right, any change of temperature obtained from his formula is exclusively a change of temperature of the mass of CO2, not of the atmosphere!!!
Thermal diffusivity of CO2 shows, it loses the energy it absorbs almost instantaneously, leaving no place for, any kind of storage of thermal energy by carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. THE SUN ANGLE, which affects BACK RADIATION through WATER VAPOR, is what increases atmospheric temperature…the effect of BACK RADIATION through WATER VAPOR, is as high as 200 TIMES that of CO2, and works CONVERSELY. Therefore, CO2 has a NEGLIGIBLE EFFECT (if any) on atmospheric temperature and climate…and limiting its consumption will have as negligible of an effect.
The planet has shown itself to be far less sensitive to increases in CO2 than the climate models suggest, and much more sensitive to CLIMATE ENGINEERING our atmosphere via, INJECTING OF AEROSOLS, AND OTHER CHARGED PARTICLES (to include military/civilian rockets, craft/vehicle's and munitions exhaust/pollutants as particles) comprised of metals and toxic chemicals, such as BARIUM, NICKLE carbonyl, SULFUR oxides, SULFUR hexafluride, bromotrifluoromethane, etc. '…to then PERTURBATE these pollutant particles in our atmosphere, utilizing HIGH POWER RADIO WAVES (HAARP, Arecibo Arecibo, EISCAT, Tromso, etc.) from space and ground stations! Consequently, creating Secondary Organic AEROSOLS (SOAs), a major component of 'FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION!'
SULFUR dioxide (SO2) itself is a pollutant, and major culprit in the deposition of ACID RAIN, and CLIMATE CHANGE. SULFUR dioxide is a dense, colorless, TOXIC, non-flammable gas, which oxidizes, via several chemical pathways, to SULFUR trioxide. At normal temperature and pressure, oxygen-rich SULFUR trioxide (SO3) is liquid…however, it is highly reactive in the atmosphere, combining with WATER VAPOR/droplets to produce SULFURIC ACID deposition (H2SO4), know better as "ACID RAIN."
The concentration of SULFUR dioxide in clean air is around 0.01 ppm or less but in heavily "sprayed" (INJECTED, then PERTURBATED), polluted, urban environments, the concentration rises to between 0.1ppm and 2ppm…10 to 200 fold increase! Most fossil fuels (including aviation/jet fuel) have SULFUR, and when burned, combines with oxygen to generate SULFUR oxides.
SULFUR can damage the internal enzyme systems of humans/animals…SULFUR can cause irritations of the eyes and throats of humans/animals, when the uptake takes place through inhalation of SULFUR in the gaseous phase. Due to the limited possibilities of destruction of the SULFUR bonds, the damaging effect of SULFUR on humans/animals is mostly brain damage, through malfunctioning of the hypothalamus, and damage to the nervous system. Laboratory research on animals has indicated, SULFUR can cause serious vascular damage in veins of the brains, the heart and the kidneys…these tests have also indicated that certain forms of SULFUR can cause fetal damage, and congenital effects. Mothers can even carry sulfur poisoning over to their children through breast milk.
SULFURIC SUBSTANCES can have substantial, negative effects such as: Neurological and behavioral changes- Disturbance of blood circulation- Heart damage- Effects on eyes and eyesight- Reproductive failure- Damage to immune systems- Stomach and gastrointestinal disorder- Damage to liver and kidney functions- Hearing defects- Disturbance of the hormonal metabolism- Dermatological effects- Suffocation and lung embolism.
Most scientists studying our CLIMATE are "experts" in only a small area, and not aware of Earth’s overall climate system nor of the endless research studies, projects and implementations of different technologies/techniques being developed and utilized. Sets of EMPIRICAL DATA have been collected, and connected in new ways to give a coherent, and logical illustration, to better understand our atmosphere, climate system, and how human manipulation (CLIMATE ENGINEERING) and pollution, affects the entire micro to macro-system.
Existing international law only imposes a few procedural duties, on States who are responsible for CLIMATE ENGINEERING field research as well as a handful of particular prohibitions, and constraints. These “CLIMATE ENGINEERING” / “GEOENGINEERING” methods pose a far greater risk to humans, and the environment, than any current law/regulation could curtail…and far, far beyond any wishful outcome, associated with manipulating our CLIMATE SYSTEM!
Stratospheric GEOENGINEERING with SULFATE AEROSOLS, is the most significant factor in Secondary Organic AEROSOL (SOA), 'FINE-PARTICLE-POLLUTION,' and CLIMATE CHANGE itself!
That guest is morally and strategically wrong, just like all the others before him. These idiots (some rather being scoundrels) have successfully prevented the birth of a real alternative, good party against the dominant evil one with two faces (D&R), they've been cajoling people into accepting the colon cancer by frightening them with the lung cancer.
Maybe there is no win ultimately?
How long must we continue this cycle of life & death on this planet?
Is there actually anything worth clinging to?
Enough already.
Josh Fox has turned into a shill bottom-feeder. He is supporting the fake environmental movement within the corporate controlled Democratic Party who STOLE our Green New Deal messaging and telling us we missed up his freaking work?! ha! What a clown! GND has been our baby and design for decades! It is our Platform and messaging. He is like a hijacker on a plane telling us we owe extra baggage fees. This is a disgusting interview and shameful for TRNN to run this one.
Greens do not support any Fracking. Josh Fox is stating some poison drinking water is "ok" with some fracking. gtfo
right on! you guys should interview daniel sheehan (remember the pentagon papers)!
This guy is full of BS on the spoiler effect. I’m glad the Real News Interviewer punched back with some knowledge. The fact on the recount the judge said that the Democratic Party needed to be pushing this and not the Green Party. Clinton’s legal team was in the court room and the judge looked at them to step in to take the reigns but they said nothing. The Libertarian party received 3% of the vote but no one seems to call this semi Conservative party a spoiler. And I, as a voter, would never had voted for a president if it was only Clinton and trump as the only choices. It’s shameful that the other parties are not allowed on the debate stage, get financing, no media coverage unless they have 5% of the votes, is this really considered a Democracy? That is what this shill should be saying if he really wanted change
Off Oil Act……….Tulsi 2020
Put all your eggs in one basket – great strategy.
Josh Fox promotes the mainstream Democratic narrative of blaming the voters and not the politicians. The Democratic Party is incorrigible. Wait… wait… watch it … watch it… Shit! They screwed Bernie again.
YES!!!
Capitalism is a runaway train that will kill us all if we don't think of something better.
God in the Bible teaches, that He will use Times of Restoration of all things before eastward in Eden, before sin Acts 3:21– to restore those conditions….Joel 2:3 it is as the garden of Eden before them….up ahead. The figurative language of the Scriptures, speaks of a "new earth" Rev. 21. New social order wherein dwells righteousness, and peace. This earth will remain and experience total surface change after great Tribulation Matthew 24:20-22/Zephaniah 3:8,9. Isaiah 60:13. He will make the place of His *feet glorious – Matthew 5:34,35 this earth is His footstool*. (Faith)in Him and His Word. Brings (Hope) in Him and His Plan. (Love) can result, into an eternal relationship. 1Cor.13 God bless everyone 😊
CLIMATE CHANGE = REAL.
MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE = FAKE.
The world, as well as the US, needs a Bernie Sanders presidency.
It is called Global Weather Warfare. All the media are silent about this horrible, global crime and genocide. That make you partners in that crime, as far as I can tell.
Jill Stein didn't kill the Green New Deal – the Senate did – including Democrats like Feinstein and Shumer.
The assumption that he's making is that Nader or Stein voters would EVER vote for an (Getty Oil scion, like) Al Gore, or a Wall Street sell-out like $hillary – and as someone who voted for both – I can assure you that I would not. The DNC could have underwritten Jill Stein's recount effort… Why didn't they?
Shameing the actual left, for not voting for the Center-Right to Right – isn't productive either. If the Dems hadn't stolen the 2016 primary race from Sanders – then they would have won the White House. But the same people that rigged the primaries – also installed Debbie Wasserman Schultz. When Brenda Snipes destroys the evidence – where's the outrage? Bernie seems to have forgotten who Tim Canova is.
Third party vote shaming, wow, to focus on that as opposed to voter turn out is intellectually LAZY, good thing Democrats jumping ship to Trump when faced with Clinton was brought up.
I wonder how much you know.
Ironicaly with all the fracking, USA is ultra rich now with gas, this is why they swap from cole to gas, which is much cleaner.
-Did you hear that the torching on oil platforms is considered to cause 30% of industrial Co2 emissions? Know one cares.
-Did you know that after fracking, nature takes back the land in no time? And no one is ever afected by theoretical polluted ground water?
-Did you know that C02 is not causing the warming? Just look into the Vostok ice core data.
Enviromentalists should focus on Mono cultures, pesticides, concrete sealing, traffic noise, real pollutents. I hate how you waste your energy on the wrong issues and how you refuse to inform yourself, instead of buying anything that apears to be "green".
XR is international, as it's in more than 34 countries now. So is the Friday school strike.
This world runs on oil… people are scared of nuclear… solar could work but the birds catch on fire…. how haven’t we gone hardcore geothermal or hydraulic with recycling water yet. Id pay to have a hamster wheel hooked up in my garage to power my home, only to get a kick back on my production rates.. but crying about it wont fix it. Follow the money.
It is a misconception that the Oil industry is international. The well known international oil companies like Exxon, BP and Shell only hold 15% of the oil market. 85% are held by national oil companies like Saudi Aramco, the most profitable company of the world.
