I'm glad they're talking on this and people are buying less into "we need to recycle!" and more into "companies need to make products that aren't harmful"
The people who should be stopping them are being paid by them 🤷‍♂️.
I love how instead of actually solving their business model killing the earth, these corporations spend as much if more on PR to not deal with them in the first place
Props to TED-ed for touching such a dangerous topic. They really have balls of brass.
"We're All in this together"™ is one of the industry's most revolting ad campaign.
And it definately worked. Its not seen as very strange for people to disbelieve climate change.
The disgust in the narrator’s voice makes the whole story even more impactful, as it deserves to be
COP 28 was held in Dubai, UAE and COP 29 is scheduled to be held in Azerbaijan this year (two oil-rich countries)! This is a sign of what you just described in the video.
I want this guy giving my eulogy.
Thank you, Ted-ED, for telling the truth. Listen to scientists, not podcasters.
Watching from India after enjoying 50°C + Avg temp this summer feeling so human
Climate change should not be a partisan issue. Everyone wants, at the end of the day, to leave a better world for their children. Both sides of the political aisle are trying to do that, just in different ways aligning with their own beliefs on what that 'better' is (or at least, they should be.) But better is easily clouded by short-term gains, even if all it will leave people is a burning, broken world. Prancing about the mess they've made and pretending it's a throne is not a mark of power. It is a mark of blind greed, but no amount of money can drag someone out of moral bankruptcy.
Excellent overview of the greatest crime of ecocide ever committed. Bravo TED!
What do you think it’s like being an oil lobbyist, knowing you’re contributing to one of the biggest issues humanity has ever faced, being fully cognisant that you’re on the wrong side of the fight? Like how do you sleep at night
Anytime a TED-ED video comes on, I drop everything to watch because I always learn so much.
“The Ottoman entry to the war was a particular concern to the British, since the Middle East is full of oil and Britain wanted all that oil.” Oversimplified
its kinda ironic that most of the top producing oil companies today are state-owned
See when people ask me why I don't have much faith in humanity and am quick to assume corruption and selfishness of others, I just don't know what to tell them
The narrator's voice is just is peaceful, calm and at the same time so stern and raises such important points.❤
