By the time we got here we had watch it with pages of questions, thoughts, ideas etc...etc. No doubt watching it again is on the cards. Thank you Matthew/Cynthia/RTF. The entire world needs to follow this series and ... the a-mazing work you do.

Definitely going to watch this documentary series. 👍

Much needed and I am looking forward to them all

I did some math & came to an interesting conclusion. All 9 Billion people are invited to come to my city Winnipeg in Manitoba Canada to debate this issue. It's perimeter highway encircles the city, approximately 40 square miles. There's enough room within this area for every single person on this planet to have their own 3'x3' area to sit or stand in for the debate. Only caveat is No masks allowed. Pack your own lunch.

Right On! One more caveat... make sure that everyone drives over to the 'Peg in their carbon- spewing cars and trucks 'cause it's gonna be colder than a witch's tit in "Winterpeg" real soon and maybe those carbon emissions just might cause some much-needed global warming to make life somewhat tolerable for such an event.

👍👍Damn straight mate.

I know exactly how to solve Kanada's troubles in only 1 decade with my simple 7 step plan,

after we turf the "Not See" Uniparty junta. 1. First, we saw off Eastern Canada & Vancouver, & let them float away. 2. We market the Alberta Oilsands as the biggest oilspill in human history, Go Green & clean up the oil spill back into "Recycled Sand" 3. get completely out of debt, see1 & 2.

& then 4. sell all the world's "Global Warming" Billionaires prime 'soon to be beachfront property" in northern Alberta for ridiculous $um$ 5. sponsor an all expenses paid World Forum for all WEF, WHO, UN, 33° masons, Nation's leaders (President Putin & Mr Lavrov won't be invited, of course), corrupt church leaders esp. the Pope on a rope, all world's Royalty & families, MIC owners, Banksters & drug lords etc. etc... at the Billionaires new 15 minute estates 6. Once we have them all there, we use every bulldozer we can muster while they're partying & bury the whole lot of them. 7. Then- we have the biggest F👀king "Freedom Convoy Parade" this world will ever see to celebrate.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Kanada will be redeemed in the 👀👁👀 of the world!

Have I got your vote?

🤔 Then again, you can be the new Prime Minister, I'm too old for leading.

I'd prefer to retire from this planet with a smile on my face & get some great fishing in before I exit home 🪦stage right...

I usually enjoy your content, however in the video I lost count of the times she mentioned “fossil” fuel. That’s a marketing strategy “scarcity term “ coined with no evidential basis.

I have many petrochemical engineering colleagues and a few geologists that have assured me that the earth will never “run out” of crude oil.

That doesn’t mean that all the other soft sustainability solutions start up engineers won’t continue to sell alternative energy solutions.

Everyone needs to pay bills and there are infinite budget seeking rackets out there.

Did you actually watch the entire video? It is clearly intervening on the very thing you are criticising but meant for a broad audience as an introduction, this is a RTF video not a CP video. What is the point of trying to convince people who are already convinced? Matt has mentioned in an interview that the second episode will discuss energy and the fallacies of green energy and the fallacy of scarcity, which again this first episode is bringing up so not sure what your problem is. In this episode Cynthia even brings up that the reserves have been increasing not decreasing.

Don't be so fixated or so semantic, or be more blunt anal, on the use of "fossil" fuels in our current lexicon.... we're talking energy here... you know the very thing that defines and affords the opportunity for the increase of a dignified existance for the human family.... call our predominant present energy platform "fossil" fuel-based or "carbon" based.... so what! What we obviously need to do is fully utilize or existing energy platforms to transition from chemical reactions

to the higher flux density of atomic reactions afforded in nuclear fission a d obviously to nuclear fusion reaction applications... anything that inhibits that transition is a threat to human civilization.

👍👍 Thank you for bringing up the biggest fraud in the energy industry. The earth itself creates pertroleum continually & the scientific evidence is suppressed. I still have a copy of an analysis from early 2000's that shreds the fraud. Biomass generated oil does exist in small quantities but the vast majority of sources are abiogenic, proven when the distillates are closely examined. Recent research on carbon dioxide being captured & buried for profit inconveniently converts into petroleum distillates..

Like most illusions one need only the tool of delusion. Germane to Green Slaves, one need only refer to their early writ:

"The Green Brain." by Frank Herbert (1966)

And for social ills refer no further than "Childhood's End." by Arthur C. Clark (1953)

Of course, the demise of Staple Inn left equity unanchored amongst the nature and causes that traffic Man's labor. Lest power accept the writhing of victims gratuitously as a matter of nature best suited for governing in perpetual dominion....lol

Well done Cynthia, Matt and team. You spoke to the public. Very logical and easy to understand. As academics, you could have spoken over everyone’s heads, but instead took it slow and made it easy to comprehend.

So far, I have only watched the first episode, and not sure I will continue. I'm impressed with the production value. As to the content, I'm not as sanguine. The author seems to be an apologist for the fossil fuel industry. She cherry picks "inaccurate" predictions by past climate scientists. Then fails to realize that their alarmism was the very thing that triggered climate saving innovations and its positive consequences, not the perpetuation of dirty energy. She presents false data about the growing percentage of green energy in the economy, claiming that it is still small. She must have pulled that data from 10 years ago, and does not cite her source. She underestimates the pace of innovation in new energy, even in some third world countries who are surpassing first world, and

that even fossil fuel companies are making the switch in order to compete. She ignores proven anthropic climate change events, like drought, fires and hurricanes. I might watch the remaining videos to see if she can redeem herself, but I'm not optimistic.

Good job.

Half truths

We have the technology to replace fossil fuel, it hundreds of years old

It is called hydrogen.

Everybody can produce its own on demand, making it safe and useful everywhere and by anybody

Its true that scarcity is a myth but industrial chemical agriculture is a travesty and should not be endorsed.

A fantastic and much needed polemic exposing the misanthropy and pessimism of the anti-human ideology of so-called "environmentalism."

Congratulations to RTF, all very important questions that must be addressed. I look forward to the rest of the series and will share it.

What concerns me the most is the questions cannot be addressed as long we are in a global crisis dominated by war agendas.

The first step forward is the equilibrium and civility that comes with peace.

As a critical global issue it is going require immense global cooperation and allocations of resources. human and financial.

It is most importantly going to require a new mindset where we come to realize we are custodians of planet Earth, a finite habitat that is the ultimate arbiter of our future. Indigenous cultures have realized this for eons of time but it is a fundamental capitalist cultures are willfully ignorant of considering.

In addressing this momentous issue we are not even at the starting line. As long as the present global status quo prevails we may not get to it.

As has been pointed out ad nauseum we are the only species that fowls our own habitat, even my dogs are selective in this regard.

Thanks for handing out the crucial tools we need to pin these cons to the wall with facts and the duped do gooders oblivious to it all.
