What do you all think of the latest video by Astrum Earth and the ramifications this may have for the climate fight? Do you believe they are correct or is there still hope?

Lol there hasn’t been hope for decades, it’s just happening a little sooner than expected (for the people who weren’t paying attention).
Don’t worry, the elderly who currently run the world will be long dead when runaway hothouse earth ends humanity for all intents and purposes.

Regardless of future outcome, changes now still make a positive impact.

Unnecessarily doomerish. I get that it’s a grim topic but if you want your viewers to come away from the video with the determination to strive for a better future, you need to be mindful of your tone. Just look at the comments to see how most of his audience responded.
I would cite Simon Clark and American Resiliency as examples of channels that successfully encourage action in their audience while still being honest about the state of things.

Well, I found the opening very annoying.
“This is the most important video that you are every going to watch.”
No it isn’t, mate, because you’re not telling me anything I don’t already know. Anyone who has been paying attention to developments over the past ten years knows that things have accelerated terribly.
The rest of the video is on point.
Is there hope? Sure. We can hope for a mere bad outcome, rather than the end of human civilisation.
I feel like we are living in a dream world, where politics and economics have not caught up with physical reality. A world which is living on borrowed time, sustained only by ever-increasing debt. A world which will break before it will bend.
I feel like a madman, looking into the abyss while everyone else just carries on around me.
I feel alone, because you just can’t express this stuff with people in real life, unless you want to be seen as a madman too.
