How are you??
Мені потрібно мій дохід в Україні в тройному тарифі від гадів в інтернеті і проти нас ніхто не розлучить нас
Де мій дохід в Україні?? Питання для всіх людей світу
Так це правда і це доказано і в Україні теж мати дохід від всіх гадів в інтернеті проти гадів в Україні
Я зроблю таке що вам потрібно ваші монтажі проти мене ніхто не обманить мене
Це гади роблять проти нас в інтернеті, не даючи можливість приїхати до часу на себе руки проти нас гади, всі вони знали всі реклама це я проти вилучення всіх гадів в Україні
Тепер буде навпаки ви будете платити мені за все за правду в інтернеті
Я буду проти тільки з чесними людьми .

All matter as it heats release oils even Ice as it changes two gas these oils are mulit functional meaning there first function is a cooling process
o(a lie on Ice)oan theses oils are released as a bi product of the break down of that matter the greater point being if you know what rate the earth is releaseing these oils two gas on an average you can containe global warming as a run away green house effect you can arter the climate anywhere that way, …😎 👌BULL$HIT!!! ALL OF IT……FEAR P O R N!!!
TIME TO CHANGE THAT ☝️☝️☝️🌎🌎🌎🫵🗳️🗽
WHY DO YOU THINK 🤔 RUSSIA IS ATTACKING UKRAINE 🇺🇦 AND MOST OF EUROPE AND THE WEST. TRYING TO SABOTAGE. RUSSIA MUST CONVERT
One of the primary causes of Global Warming is Donald Trump-because he is full of hot air……
DEMOCRACY. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY ✊🫵✊🫵🌎🗽🗽🇺🇸🇺🇸🗳️
The mkst difficult part is how the Oil industry cleverly used Christians in America.
What bothers me is the people that are pushing climate change are the ones flying around on their private jets emitting more carbon than one ordinary human will in their entire lifetime.
Capitalism is destroying the planet and its people. It only cares about profits and shareholder value. It's unsustainable and literally killing us.
Climate change is nothing but a hoax.
Record breaking heat every year now I hope they are happy 😂 in 50 years my children will have climate controlled clothes
I'm trying to find a documentary that's speaks the opposite of this one. I find little clips but not long documentary like this one. Is it because not enough information are not available? Or I'm not researching properly. Can anyone send me a link please?
read Dr. Sylvia Earle’s book written in 1992 called sea change…
Exxon, liars to the end!
The fossil fuel industry and their operatives are using Havana syndrome type technologies to propagate their views. It’s been in use for at least two decades. Not discussing the true capabilities of this technology allows them to continue.
if it makes one thing clear it is that the scoop on freedom of speech
in the US is like giving everybody the right to ride a 20-ton truck,
'no driver's license required.
no one is seeing it as it runs havoc on a wide spectrum of humanitarian disasters today.
freedom of speech must not be protected when it is primarily aimed is to silencing or misleading others.
the protection must end when breaking an action of fair use.

In total global oil demand for 2024 is 104.46 million barrels per day, 16,607,782,020 liters EVERY day! Yes over 16.6 billion liters daily…but we continue, if I buy food, so many not really needed plastic or other materials are wasted, even if they are recycled, not using them would require much less garbage trucks (eating a lot of diesel) driving and much less energy to recycle.
Oil consumption still increases, if I compare the numbers to those in WW2 you see how much oil were are using/wasting (I mean do we really need multiple daily flights for distances beyond 1000 km? Building a high-speed train-connection would make much more sense, but people want to fly from London or Paris to Berlin in slightly over 1 hour, would it kill us to take a train which takes 8-10 hours? you could even take a night-train and sleep if you are really sooo busy.
Of course the train should use green energy, but we have no tax on jet fuel worldwide, so daily 6 million barrels (increasing daily) are used for jet fuel, that's 250,000 barrels (39.745 million liters) per hour and there are many things like this where we could save a lot. With todays technology the electric vehicles (EV) produce a new addiction of materials to produce to batteries, but if driven with green energy EVs are much better, easier to repair/maintain and I think the average life-time of a vehicle can be much larger than a conventional car,
maybe at some point you need to replace some or even all battery-blocks, but first you have to drive MUCH more than 100,000 kilometers before the capacity is down to 75% and if recycled correctly than you can drive some other hundred thousand kilometers with high-range and we will see here big new developments until 2050, another point is our livestock/food or meat, but since I love a good steak or "Schnitzel" sometimes and I've talked already more than enough I should be careful here, but the growing population is really a big problem, human (8.178 billion, no end in sight) and animals, last ones suffer in camps and huge amounts of fossils are used to feed/transport etc. them.
Greetings from Berlin 🙂
Humans cannot advance without greed.
@1:18:35 excuse me Chuck, but you've been around long enough to know corporations lie. It was YOUR fucking job to verify the voracity of the info being presented. Fuck you.
I feel like the claims of "this is gonna happen by this time if we don't do anything" not materializing delegitimized the climate proponents' claims.
If the pandemic proved anything, it’s that we can reduce emissions by not forcing people to drive to work that can work from home. Smog was all but eliminated in the LA metro area and the air was pretty clear.
Electric vehicles aren’t the answer either as there’s so much pollution created just to mine the batteries to power them. As well as EV’s are only clean if they get their energy from clean electric sources such as wind and solar power. At this point they’re only robbing Peter to pay Paul.

15:15 what a wanker.
What could have been Al Gore
What a nazi thing to say. 38:30 I was just doing my job.
Then all that money they used on fake propaganda they could have just paid the dam carbon tax.
Global Use of oil is up with 39% since 1996 and use of coal is up 70% since 2000 then what is coming next
evidence the bible is real is everywhere in the form of stone giants we live on

Why is EVERYONE SCARED/ SHYING AWAY from using the word POLLUTION as they hide behind Climate Change that is just ONE of its many Effects.
The MOST IMPORTANT ONE is the Effect of Pollution on HUMAN LIVES (9 Million Premature Deaths annually ) and HUMAN SUFFERING (275 Million DALY of year-long Suffering) that already causes $36.5 Trillion/yr of Socieyal Costs… but is TOTALLY HIDDEN & SUPPRESSED as they divert attention towards image Change that directly Kills NONE OR MAKE ANY SUFFER…
Shame on ALL these people… specially those proponents of Climate Change…
