2. Love it. love it. love it!
   Although, I agree with this video I still find it a bit dangerous. If some people who fall under the umbrella of "racist/bigoted/nieve/and-so-on" then, do you really think they'd be intelligent enough to look past the dramatics of this video and not fixate on any of the "offensive" jokes, but to truly understand this as a demand of humanity to accept it's role in rising global temperatures. This video is a plea to all: please, respect the sactaty of life.

3. To the advertisements, I will never download Doordash, only because of your annoying ass continuous advertisements

4. Thank you for calling out animal agriculture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love your videos for calling out all of the bullshit out there!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

5. "This is what the world would look like if it was stabbed with a giant knife"

   Laughs in Azerothian

6. Well, one correction: Electric cars aren't that good, especially because of the short lifetime of their batteries, which production is problematic (I'm sorry, I don't have the exact numbers now). But I do support hybrid cars and at this point of time earthgas (I hope the direct translation from german is correct). Its not such a "future technologie" but one of the best options available today.

7. Using the overture of Tristan and speaking of apocaplipse might anything to do with lars von trier's melancholia? 🙂

8. I can’t stop watching this channel. These are so well written it almost feels more like I’ve found a free audiobook than a YouTube channel. Natalie, if you ever find a topic you feel you could write a whole book about—could be literally anything—you can be guaranteed I would buy and probably adore it! Would trust you with any kind of book

9. It's a very minor point, but driving a hybrid or electric car won't reduce your personal emissions much since 2/3 of electricity in the US is produced by fossil fuels. (see US Energy Information Administration report here: eia.gov)

10. I've been seriously, severely depressed for so long, that I'm unable to wash my dishes, so I use disposable paper plates, etc.. I only drive about 30 miles a month and shower once a week. I haven't been on a plane in a decade. I wear the same clothes and do laundry about twice a month. (my actual mother is a bad woman and has yelled at me for being a "lazy climate denier" because I use paper plates. )

    Please…..don't keep hurting people like me.

    Also, there's no possible way I can reproduce because I have sexual trauma and am afraid of even TALKING to people.

    Really. I'm not your enemy.

11. Alles was man braucht im Kühlschrank, zu sehen in Sekunde 23 (0:23): Soyamilch, Champagner und Poppers.

12. I volunteer climate change deniers as the first to loose water when we run out of water

13. Too bad hardly any mainstream politicians are talking about building more nuclear power plants. Those things have almost no carbon footprint per megawatt-hour.

14. Anyone rewatching in 2020 on the verge of WW3?

15. Natalie. Thank you for reinventing tiamat

16. Not sure how many times ive watched this video but its my favorite

17. "HuRr DuRr! WhAt AbOuT aLl ThOsE oThEr CoUnTrIeS?" Those other countries wouldn't have those problems if American companies wouldn't outsource jobs.

18. What's hilarious is that these morons don't understand that "climate change" and "global warming" aren't interchangeable, in spite of how people use the terms. The reason they're used interchangeably is because we who accept the science believe most with whom we speak have the level of common sense to realize that artificially influenced climate change can't happen without global warming. Not to mention the fact that NASA and company never made any claims in the '70s that the world was cooling. I can say with some authority that a broad majority of these individuals are from rural communities, where their jobs rely on gas guzzling vehicles. Either that or their trucks are synthetic, minimally-invasive male enhancement and they resent the idea that they may have to drive an electric vehicle.

19. i feel like being fabulous in a bathtub right know.. might just do that, and watch more of your videos

20. I've watched this video like five times just in the background as I'm doing something and I have only just now realized, the scientist character has press on nails on her gloves and honestly that's the level of feminine extra in science I hope one day to achieve.

21. Was it really about 57F in your studio? Brrr…

22. Well, at least South Park made a sequel in which ManBearPIG was real, implicitly admitting that climate change is real and mocking those who still deny it. A little late, but still.

23. humanity breeding like vermin is the biggest threat of 500+ million years of evolution

24. 5:00 Flooding Shanghai and Miami doesn't really sound like a problem , more like a solution :o)

25. The planet got hot from all the takes

26. The environment is the one thing I'm moderately liberal in and heavily disagree with Republicans and other right wingers on. Now I don't think global warming is the main problem. I've done extensive research about chemicals in our environment and that is a MUCH more immediate issue. Runoff from agriculture, preservatives in frozen food, pharmaceuticals found in water. All more of an immediate danger but because climate change allows the Democrats to pass certain legislation, that's the thing they pay the scientists to push. They have always been paid out by the government to emphasize what they want to. Climate change is an issue yes, but I'm more concerned about my sons drinking literal birth control everyday.

27. As much as I am still depressed at the state of politics with regards to climate change, after watching this at the end of 2019 I do feel a bit more hopeful now given how the past year has gone. We've seen the rise of Greta Thunberg and the Climate Strike movement which I have participated in, more people in my own personal life have started caring more about climate change and are making more lifestyle changes and demanding for action both on local issues (better public transit/general modeshift away from car dependency in my city) and with broader issues as well. This year my home nation of New Zealand unanimously passed the Zero Carbon Act which aims for NZ to become carbon neutral by 2050. So yeah, these are all things that make me feel like there is still hope; we still have time to solve these issues. How the rest of the world responds is another matter entirely and one which I am… less hopeful on, shall we say.

28. I dont know. The political position of America depends of the oil. I dont say that the contamination isnt a problem. The problem is that there are political factors in this discusion. I am not American. Well I am South American. I know when there are a political desire in a discusion. Living in my country makes me eskeptic. I dont know.

29. Love. Love. Love everything about this… except, can we knock is off with the false claims about plant-based diets saving the earth? We need to attack Big Ag wholly. Yes you can eat bacon, just buy local and from sustainable farms. switching to plant-based diets does nothing… in fact it might be worse that conventional agriculture, because it’s more mono-cropping. Look into Joel Salatin and the sustainable farming movement. We must do this or perish.

30. FFS..lame.

31. XX:XY

32. I actually love you

33. I wish I had this video to watch when I had to do a debate on the topic!

34. – It doesn’t exist
    – Okay, it exists, but it isn’t our fault
    – Okay, it’s our fault, but it won’t hurt us
    – Okay, it’ll hurt us, but we don’t actually need to do all that much to stop it
    – Okay, maybe we should do a lot to stop it, but human ingenuity counts as “a lot” right?
    – Okay, maybe we should do a lot of other stuff to stop it, but not in the way that would hurt oil tycoons
    – Ugh, I hate having to spear people just for some water and dog food, if only those commies got out of our way we could have unleashed our American Ingenuity on the problem

35. ??????????

36. Genia! Te amo! I watching for you from Argentina

37. I am honestly more concerned about turning our planet into one giant plastic rubbish tip than C02 and climate change.
    Plastic is choking most of our water ways as we do not recycle most of it. Rather we burn it causing toxic fumes, grind it and throw it third world countries river systems and bury it in landfills.
    Capitalism needs recycling built into it.

38. How to get American conservatives to stop denying climate change and actually do something about it:

    Try to prove it is climate change that is actually causing the "gay crisis", not degeneracy

    Nothing gets those people more motivated than halting social progression!

39. what does this have to do with trans issues? if i wanted to know environmental issues, i would have gone to grad school and gotten a graduate degree in Environmental Studies…which i did…which i have. i am a subscriber to learn about trans issues, gurl.

40. I lost it at muslim mexicans xD

41. I'm so glad I found this account. She's got some really creative stuff in her mind.

42. What’s the name of the closing song by Zoë?

43. Love the Tristan and Isolde music!

44. Fast fashion is a big issue/contributor along w big oil + animal agriculture!!!

45. Thanks for the great content.

46. The Wagner in the background was so distracting to me ??? it’s not anyone else’s fault, I’m autistic and almost always distracted by music but obviously most of all music I know . And I was just looking for a solo piano version of it (the Wagner prelude) the other day and I found it !

47. Love you!

48. Happy 1st birthday to this video. Sigh.

49. this should be required reading for every world leader, goddamit
