1. Blah blahh global scam. Its a planet Cycle. stop pushing this fake nonsense

2. Simon undersold the dust bowl. A major contributing factor to the Great Depression the nullified US exporting capabilities and the value of the dollar. Bonds failed globally and one country that was on the rise and relied heavily on US securities loans at the time faltered tremendously: Germany. That led to a collapse in the economy resurrected only through war time industrialization and the rise of the Nazi Party. The dust bowl and Great Depression, I’d argue, were key factors leading to World War II and millions dead

3. I wonder if you will end up doing a video on impending natural disasters as well at some point, and the mega plans to prepare for them. There's a few things that we know are going to happen some time in the future, but just don't know when yet. One example is yellowstone national park's super-volcano erupting. We have monitors all around the park literally tracking hourly ground movement. Another is "The Big One" referring to the expected 9.0 or higher earthquake that's going to hit oregon and washington.

4. And yet the decions that brush clearing that was done, and making fire breaks by either clearing scrub or controlled burning was banned has sweet blue nothing to do with the fires getting out of control.
   Nope just an almost 1°C change in temprature.
   The idiocy does boggle one's mind doesn't it?

5. We had several dangerous fires in the UK, mostly grass fires, last summer. I dread to think how much worse it could get in North Western Europe, next summer, because France suffered similarly.

6. Fake news right off the bat

7. I guess Simon is getting paid by the Dems and the WEF to spread the disinformation

8. What are your thoughts on the Greenland ice core project?

9. Thé power of God not of nature,the believers know that will be coming.

10. Farmers knew about crop rotation long before the dust bowl ever happened. The problem was acknowledged it was greed. Funny part is it took rich people funding and creating the department of interior to fix this issue by incentivizing crop rotation.

11. Yeah, it was global warming 🙄 …..uggg

12. The Dust Bowl was a man-made disaster though…

13. The dust bowl happened because of man’s bad farming practices, nature had nothing to do with it, what happened was mankind’s fault 100 percent. Just like wreaking a Tesla, it’s the drivers fault 100 percent.

14. A lot of the problems are caused by tree huggers that use law suits to prevent controlled burns to eliminate mast on forest floors. I do not deny drought also had much to do with the fires being uncontrollable. Had mast been removed in controlled fires in the years the rain fall was better the devastation might have been prevented. I pray foresters who push for real forestry management will be heard and the drought will be relieved.

15. Everything is climate change/God's fault🤣🤪🥵🥶

16. Thanks. Does Covid count as a natural disaster?

17. Also, at 10:12 don't you mean 546??

18. I'm Australian. I didn't get hit by the fires directly, thank goodness but the whole situation was fucked. My friends and family had the emergency app on our phones, and where i live we had smoke blowing 150 Kilometres into our town where it lingered for days. Things are a lot better now, but out government has done a really shit job of getting the ball rolling for recovery to those that lost damn near everything.

19. The 2019 AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES! That Devastated, our South-East Coast! (and a Lot of Other Parts) Was Terrifying!

    What is Your Opinion?

20. 4:27 – so what you're saying is, the solution to global warming is… a volcanic eruption so powerful that it blocks out of the sun with the amount of ash launched from the force it? … [takes notes]

21. What a great video👏!
