Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.

While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to save itself.

And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only sensible thing to do.

But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

"It's dire, but not hopeless" I think is a good mindset for most serious problems in life

"Design consumer goods that are repairable and durable" Apple has been giving very mixed signals recently by having no plastic in their packaging meanwhile designing electronics you can't repair, even something as simple as power cord have been fixed in place so that consumers can't repair even the most simplest of things.

I'm a chemical engineer student who started studying with the motivation to help the climate crisis. At times I feel like maybe I'm too late, there is nothing I can do and I get anxious. Every time i watch this video it reminds me why I chose to study and help in every way I can and just not give up. Thank you very much.

It's a collective effort. I invested hard-earned money into solar self-consumption, lowered heating to 18 degrees C in winter, reusing energy when applicable and so on. I repair my electronics or keep them as safe as I can when I can't repair them. Being careful with your possessions and accepting to give away a bit of your own comfort will be part of making the transition to 0 degree change in the future

"Design consumer goods that are repairable and durable" This is how everything was made until companies realized they could make more money if their products broke more often. We have advanced backwards.

Never thought about the fact that buying the "We're all f*cked" mentality benefits the people who are responsible. I'm for sure going to stay hopefull and do something.

This video is my rock through all of this terrible stuff - currently at school I’ve been feeling pretty down due to my science teacher being pessimistic about the situation. But seeing this sparks hope for not just me but so many people. Where there’s bad news, good news will usually counter it. That’s really the nature of humanity. And you’re so right, hope is what the world needs. Without it nothing will change. Thank you so much for giving hope to us.

This actually hit me, it's so easy to fall into hopelessness with the constant barrage of bad news that you can't help but turn a blind eye to the progress we've made

I have a 9month old son and have had many anxieties with having brought him into the world/feeling like I’ll not be able to protect him if the worst does happen. But apathy and anxiety about what’s going to happen will ultimately not help him. So thank you for lifting me up today and I will be sending this video to my friends.

By the end of this vid I was in tears.. I've never heard an acknowledgment of the pain that climate change is inflicting on the younger generation. With every deadly flood and wildfire I have felt less and less like there is a life worth living in my future. I can't stop thinking about how any children I have will have been born with a front row seat to the collapse of humanity's status quo and subsequent descent into social, medical, and economic calamity. I wouldn't want that for my child, so in my mind I'm convinced that deciding to have a kid of my own would be selfish. And now, in my mid-twenties, it feels like "crunch time". I am so afraid that having children in the next decade would just doom them to a life of misery. It's hard, man. Nothing is changing fast enough, and if things don't speed up, much of the city I call home will be submerged in the next 150 years or so. Feels like all we can do is brace ourselves. If nothing else, it's comforting to know that someone is thinking about our futures too. I pray the hopeful image of this video someday comes to fruition.

10:25 "Design consumer goods that are repairable and durable" Understated and underrated point. Unlike renewable energy, companies still have every incentive to plan obsolescence and maintain the economy of throwaway consumer goods.

Watching this in late July 23' really hoping there's a chance we can stop the oceans from warming more. Really concerned about our blue planet with these corporations and militarily industrial complex destroying everything.
