Right there with you - lived next to a national park for decades, until it was discovered as a haven for rich second-home assholes. Nothing but scalping mountains and polluting streams, and yes shooting animals that have more right to be there than any of us. Used to be surrounded by bees, butterflies, and fireflies. Now two keystone species of trees are a total loss due to drought and invasive, and it’s rare to see one bee. I treasure the memories I have of cool, mossy streams, shaded hills, and chilly high altitudes. Soon the memories will be all that is left.

Join the growing crowd.

Sounds like you live in Alberta, Canada

@@stanleykubrick8786 I used to live in Alberta around Calgary but left several years ago. I go back to visit family and all the great places I used to canoe, hunt and fish are urban sprawl. It was getting that way when I left and that is why I did leave. I used to canoe and fish on Bearspaw Reservoir and the night before I left, I went for one last paddle. There was a big old beaver that used to swim along with me as I paddled. I went to where he lived and found him floating on the water, dead and bloated, shot through the head. I took that as an omen it was truly time to leave. I don’t think you can even get to the water now unless you are a rich property owner with a big house on the shore. Where I live now is turning into what I ran away from then. Sad.

This is painful. The same is happening around here. I remember when the skies were clear and deep blue. Now hazy, full of dust and contrails. The forests were tall, cathedral-like, and fragrant. Now dead, beetle-killed, fallen in giant tangles, sun beating down on soil that needs shade, killing delicate forest floor plants and fungi. New neighbors race around noisily on 4 wheelers and snowmobiles, light the place up at night with their floodlights, spray poisons in their yards so only the lawn will grow, kill the wildlife. Why do they do it? Are they so afraid of dark, of quiet, of wildlife?

Without resources... You would live outside in wilderness... Or more specific in empty space. Without resources... You would not wear clothes. Without rseources... You would not live in a house. Without resources... You would not eat. Without resources... You would not drink. Without resources... You would not breathe. Without resources... You would not live. You need resources to stay alive.

E Coffeehouse should have this guy on,

@@martiansoon9092 That is true, of course. Our biological overshoot and production of waste that no other creature can use for resources is hurting the basis of our existence though. We are not separate from these things as modernity suggest. We depend on a multitude of things we barely understand to provide the system that nourishes our existence. Those things are kindred, and if we keep killing them with our waste carbon, heat and chemical compounds we will perish too.

@@juliebarks3195 No, I am only repeating the things I learned from folks like them.

@@martiansoon9092 It is the fact that you see them as 'resources' that is the problem... this is a relational issue.

Was not always that way, it is not the species it is the direction of mentality among some of the species.

Only because of over-fishing, commercial fishing won't be viable by 2048. That's one study... plankton of both types are in decline as well as terrestrial photosynthesis. It's called "biosphere collapse", another topic to search about. 'Planetary boundaries' is also worth searching.

Over 1 third of all fish taken out of the oceans every day ends up in pet food or the rubbish bin or turned into plant fertilizer. When all the fish are gone we are gone,,, but what do the world's governments do - nothing - they spend their time trying to convince people that a man can have babies.

@@a.randomjack6661 Ecological overshoot, damn the maximum power principle!

Actually, people don't ned to eat seafood. I've been vegan for while now and scientific studies, including a study on identical twins show that veganism has health benefits over those who consume meat, fish and dairy produucts. Eating just plants also lowers out carbon footprint. According to the NIH, "Transitioning to plant-based diets (PBDs) has the potential to reduce diet-related land use by 76%, diet-related greenhouse gas emissions by 49%"

Doesn't really matter at this point. When I was born in 1975, the population of the Earth was 4 billion. The population hit 8 billion when I was 48. If the powers that be really gave a shit about sustainability, the entire globe would have been doing aquaponics.

We really are. 😕

We can't prevent it, but we can still determine how much worse it's going to get. There is a huge difference between 2C and 3C of warming

​@@pyroman2918 I'm sorry to crush your hopes but no, that's just another fallacy we've been told. Natural tipping points have been unchained (permafrost, desertification, marine currents...) and earth won't stop heating till it's equilibrium (much more than 2 or 3C). Plus, we are running out of fossil fuels, which will remove their aerosol effect and add some other degrees to the mix (see Hansen's faustian bargain).

@@pyroman2918 it's certainly good to know what is happening and why, but there's probably very little difference between 2 and 3 degrees in terms of the outcome, which is going to be loss of habitat for life on earth. Doesn't really matter how you get there, it ends the same way.

But the ecosystem loss, extinction is going to be greater with higher warming. It matters if 30% of species go extinct or 60% or 90%

Continuously Unprecedented

and even the people who are aware of the problem seem to now excuse it by saying it's "too late". Is it ever "too late" to stop doing the wrong thing? We're raping the planet to death and now we have proof that's the net effect of our actions. Instead of being horrified that our legacy is as rapists, we're using the excuse that the victim is already going to die to justify being rapists, ourselves. It's heartbreaking that we want this life even knowing what it really is. People always imagine that if they lived in the time of slavery, they would fight back against it, but by not changing our behavior, we're proving nothing has changed and we're just as evil as our ancestors, except the suffering we're dumping into the world is not limited to our species, it's all species, everywhere, and we each have a hand in it every time we turn up a thermostat or drive to get groceries. By not changing our ways, we're proving we're the bad guys.

US culture is a cancer, and it is spreading to other nations and places around the world.

That's the problem. Too much feelings, not enough systemic logic. We feel we have a right to be middle class. We feel we have a right to free...ie capitalism. We don't think of the consequences.

@@demontrader1222 I don't think it is. I think people always imagine they understand the problem and the feelings associated... until they actually experience it, and then it changes your entire frame of reference for reality, evil, and horror. I'm convinced that, no matter the political affiliation, if anyone could experience what I have and felt the emptiness on the other side of our actions, they wouldn't be able to burn fossil fuels without feeling physically nauseous.

Not just numbers on a chart. You can see and feel the pain that Guillermo Díaz Agras feels having to witness mass death like this.

Your denial is about your use of potent biotoxins in agriculture and forestry. They are industrial mining leaching agents patented on the 1950s as such, and branded as weedkillers and defoliants in the Vietnam War. This is your fault for allowing this. Not the lie of anthropogenic induced climate change, or any heatwaves.

We are ran by junkies, "profit junkies" Which is why of "The Top ten Jobs that Attract Psychopaths' (article) CEO is number one. 'Our politicians are interchangeable figureheads on the pirate ships of the Corporatocracy Empire'

Homo sapiens, the deluded apes.

@@aaronfranklin324 I would ask you to explain how I managed to allow this, but obviously I'm not smart enough to grasp my agency prebirth. No don't bother explaining, let me suffer in my shame.

@@timeenoughforart I'm not pointing the finger at you directly, but the world's population, particularly the US, who, simply by choosing to eat toxic food like grass seed wheats etc "dessicated" by Glyphosate, Corn and animals fed it that is "Dessicated" by Atrazine, Any products containing GE roundup tolerant soy, or peas or beans, The practice of plantation forestry where they are spraying after felling, before replanting, as often as they can.... You have to take on board that more money is being made from leaching all these strategic and trace minerals out, then dredging rivers and harbours to harvest them than the forestry and food industries. It's also the pretending it's not these chemicals, but marine heatwaves and climate change that is yours to be ashamed about. It is the practice of keeping one's mouth shut for generations from the people who know that this is what is going on, for the sake of their paychecks. Or because they think they can do. Nothing about it, so they prefer to not think or speak. I don't have this shame. I don't Eat these foods, I don't use the Rubbish plantation grown pinus radiata timber, I shout from the rooftops and explain to everyone I can that this is why all the shellfish on our coasts and estuaries have died, and most of the fish that breed or live there too. How about you start doing the same? And encourage everyone you can to do this too. Then you can deserve to feel good. It's not acceptable to keep your trap shut rather than tell people they are full of it, when they claim that humans increasing the availability of the carbon all life here is made of is killing that life. Feelings are NOT more important than truth.

I'm right there with you, including the loss. When I saw the ecosystem I grew up alongside, collapse into one or two species of bottom feeders, then realized it was the air above the ocean that was the pressure causing the decline, I was paralyzed. We're living in a bubble of life with nothing on the other side, that contracts every time we burn a gram of fossil fuel. Disease, pests, cancer, novel viruses - all artifacts of an ecosystem, crashing... but we also seem incapable of imagining something more important than our comfort or a way of life that doesn't demand destruction. I've gotten to the point where I can't separate by personal grief from my grief for the collapse of the ecosystem. I can't help but see BAU as an act of violence and have lost my capacity to be complicit. In my quest to live a low carbon life, I've lost everything... because money and profit are the tokens of the enslavement and torture of the ecosphere. Everyone I talk to thinks I've lost my mind and I can't tell if I have or not; how can anyone continue in a pursuit they know to be the act that's ending the future of life? How can we be willing agents in our own extinction? All I want is to spend what days I have left living as a human being on/with the living planet, but to survive and to have anyone willing to be by my side, I have to pretend to care about the machine we built to tear the whole world down. I feel like a nazi and I hate it.

Do people really think we can sit back and watch all life in the oceans die and it won't affect us? When the seas die humanity will die as well shortly thereafter.

Well. We already ate most of the fish.

​@@usernametaken5619 They don't care, they will be selling you lab grown fish and anything else up until the end while living in compounds with private armies while the world dies

@@alanj9978 Most? 40% of fish caught by trawlers is bycath and thrown back to sea, dead or dying. Then there's all the fish thrown away in the distribution line and in kitchens. We might be over 50% here... we do throw way 35% of our food.

so stop. do literally anything else with your life except perpetuating the paradigm of destruction. It's not about whether your contribution matters, it's about not living a life of destruction and pain, and leaving that as your only legacy.

People are noticing change in a system that's been a constant on earth for millions for years. If change is inside living memory, that's a planet that's in exponential runaway.

Too many people wanting to live beyond the earth's means*

@@cynicalpenguin very true.

@@cynicalpenguin This opinion fails to recognize without the haber process, planet Earth could reasonably sustain about half a billion people without any mining inputs. Our great great grandparents mined out all of the natural phosphorus and nitrogen stores the planet created over 4 billion years of geological time and they spread this material over the nature they destroyed and declared as farmland, whatever ecosystem it was, same story. Now right when humanity couldn't seem to get any more material and was collapsing, a german scientist Franz Haber made a chemical weapon to kill people with but instead it failed as a weapon and is now what we refer to as the haber process. The haber process compresses that air and applies heat so as to allow the air to become naturally liquid in said atmospheric condition which then allows the creation of ammonia. This ammonia is then used to fertilize the soil. The problem though, is ammonia is acidic and turning soil causes runoff of the hummus layer of soil which hosts the micro-bacteria and microscopic creatures that then cause the soil exchanges of carbon, nitrogen and water, each of which have their own natural cycle that meets here at this tiny little layer which when you turn over and over and continue to acidify, deteriorates and over time results in that soil no longer being usable. Now for the last 60 years, we have known this, and to this date we understand that 60% of the worlds arable topsoil has been eroded away and no longer is capable of harboring the proper soil to grow the crops we use to sustain ourselves with. The fields become fallow, and it takes nature 1,000 years or so to restore that soil from this state. Our response for decades has been tear down more forest sir. We finally have reached a real tipping point where there isn't really more forest to go without kill the remaining 40% of life on this planet because mind you, right now, we are in the 6th great mass extinction event scientifically and our actions have driven the ecosystem of the planet to a breaking point and beyond. In the next 30 years, because of new population influx, we have to grow the last 500 years worth of food combined to date plus somehow do it without using any resources or we risk really cranking things beyond breaking. Like he said, the math really does not add up, we are in a lot of trouble going forward.

Start arming and organising yourselves.

It's a good question.

It's a small stretch of coast. These impacts are happening very far and wide.

@@NickBreeze I know it. But media emphasize only coral reef bleaching and sea turtles, sometimes ice bears. It seems then, that rising temperatures influence only some of those ecosystems. Interview like yours is rare. If you put "marine ecosystem crash in spain" to Google machine, you get results only relevant to plastic balls on beaches. And find something about massive deaths of dolphins is hardly impossible. Thank You very much 🌍🕊

I applaud your generosity, Sir/Madam!

@@kingmantheman yes, based on energy Q= m× c× ∆T, but now Power of the AMOC in Watt = Joule/ Second. If you do Q/s you can also add /s to the right side of the formula. For instance mass /s, that is the speed of the water ( quantized m3 of water)

With respect as I hear a need for hope in your words I don't think you are listening. This coastline is a 'canary in a coal mine' and is just one example of whats happening around the world. The seas are becoming more sterile due to the change in acidity and areas where there is a lack of oxygen are increasing. We have been warned about one of the biggest dangers and thats the slowing down of the world's sea currents. I sm simplifing it as I am no expert (easy to look up) it used to be a possibility but a huge IF now its a WHEN. This will be devastating to sea life as the whole food chain around the world will shift, be disrupted and will collapse. For instance this is how plankton and the smallest creatures profilerate around the world, once they're life cycle is disrupted the cascade up the food chain is unstoppable. Massive die offs of our largest whales and other mammal groups will be seen. So many unknowns but none of it is good. And as the world's currents slow down the effect on air currents is mirrored, all is linked and that will in turn has a huge effect on weather -->farming-->famines-->equal more wars, migrations of ppls-->illnesses increase... I know I sound like a doomsday siren 🚨 and I would be incredibly happy to be wrong. But as the world is wilfully ignoring all the signs and in some cases covering things up I just don't see how this escalation of a planets ecosystem barreling towards its death is stopable 😞

@@Lioness_UTV It's only that I try to avoid jumping to conclusions about the health of the Earth's ecosystems based on localised events. I know everything is screwed in the long run without orders of magnitude more of a response but over a shorter time frame temperatures do fluctuate and extreme weather events can occur in some regions without a wider or permanent impact, and without more data I'm cautious to conclude that what we're seeing here is part of a global chain of events or extreme tipping point as you imply. I'm curious as to why I can't find any information about this event other than this video; the other results are about plastic and an oil spill. It is depressing but I will try to educate myself further on it, thanks for your reply.

"Save nature" is shorthand. Changes in the way life functions can have good and bad results (from a human perspective). Sustained average global temperature increases and ocean acidification have mainly bad results (from a human perspective).

@@carelgoodheir692 I guess "mainly bad results" depends on where you live. Your world will change no matter what you do and our past no longer exists. We tend to hold onto what we had and not what is or will be. Memory of the 70's for me was a great life but to many it was bad times. Live today and look for tomorrow. The past belongs in the past. Change is here to stay no matter what humans do.

Thanks, Brian. That this is just one tiny stretch of coast is a key point. I spoke with people in the Med, saying the same thing. These are material consequences and the people in charge have no idea what to do, or in worst cases, how to behave.

​@NickBreeze I understand completely Nick. Thank you

It's likely due to a number of reasons but when the water heats up it effects plant life like the kelp beds that the whole ecosystem relies on. We have been ignoring the warnings and our own greed and arrogance will be our undoing.

@Lioness_UTV sir there so much damage being done you dont know of like for instance the coral bleachings arent anything to do with climate its specifically ships dumping used oil which is legal but must be processed first and if youve been on cargo ship youll know these things are also in disrepair so they dump the oil anyway and its like resin and sits all over the coral and the kelp feilds too and stays there for weeks
