In this quick talk, she explores how climate change is threatening our well-being — mental, social and spiritual — and offers a starting point for what we can do about it.

Well that’s the most 2019 video title I’ve ever seen
@Matthew Morton you nailed it chief. Even the bleaching of the reefs has occurred on a large level before according to some marine biologists.
Nathan Dennis 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (“Respect and dignity!”)

BenGrapples Ikr, must be all the climate change
Please learn from Bhutan .
Project fear, again. How about science fact?
Paul Beckwith on YouTube.
You will only get science fact from paid officials within governments that fund a certain side of scientific community.
We have lived through the terrors of the four minute warning of C.N.D, and now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we present to you Global Warming.
By the way companies are making a great deal of money out of this latest nonsense. The nuclear bunker builders made their money on the back of another elitest campaign, C.N.D, and must have regretted it when that campaign got replaced by this one.
Kirstin Strand Cheers am watching.

“How watching TV effects your mental health” ~ Unexplained Aerial Phenomena
Kelly Violette Have you noticed movies affect the future people see movies and then they do what they see in the movies
Because IT AFFECTS mental health
Climate change is cause of my alcoholism…
It among other things are about to turn me into a wife beatin drunk … and i aint even married so sum tells me it might get hairy.
Alcoholics LOVE excuses.
Mind you, I can’t live without alcohol either…but I accept Climate changes so I can’t blame my evening class of wine on
Climate. We all have stress in our lives. At least you are thinking!
@Kirstin Strand r/wooosh…
Kirstin Strand this is the r/woosh of the year.
@Ethan I have no idea what r/woosh means. Maybe i’ll Google it? Maybe not because it’s unimportant to me.
don’t need to listen to this video ~ The comments are the best part! LOFL : D
You should watch the whole video, apparently single mothers who are poor are affecting the climate by having kids………. yah ..
that’s nothing new ~ population is out of control; we need a alien defazer hormone zapper! : D ~ Rather watch another episode of Brewstew on Youtube.
@Kelly Violette if you do not approve of TED, what are you doing here?
I can feel my mental health decrease while I’m listening to her
Don’t pay attention to her. She’s having a mental breakdown
Me too…
This video sums up the down fall of TED.
Same…
@John Hurley at least you are smart enough to feel your inner feelings – most are not.
Im from finland (northern country) and I can say before it was safe to ice skate on top of lakes when i was like 7. Nowdays I cant trust that ice anymore when im 17. That is only in decade. It is just sad.
Hi there, just curious, does that mean places like Finland, Estonia, etc, will have warmer winters so you can actually go out a but more? I’d like to visit but your temperature in winter is like -30c, which I doubt I can bare. Thx
@Rockie Fan If you are going I suggest going around November, December, that is time it is snowy but not too cold as in january and february.
temparature at november is like 0c to -10c
december it is like -5 to -15c
@M A N D A L A I lived in Asia and New Zealand, our lowest is like -5c where I live, so Nov seems good mate! thx a lot! Dec will be too near Xmas so lots of people anyway right? (and -15 sounds scary;p)
@Rockie Fan even tho u could have figured it out with one simple search lol.
I’m fat because of McDonald’s and climate change.
Also those evil spoons.
Big oof
Actually I can’t even gain weight. I can eat alot like literally alot and not gain anything. Mom says it’s a blessing but I say it’s a curse cause I can only wear my 9 year old sister clothes. And my 3 year old sister skirts
Sorry I ramble alot, I kinda talk too much
what, ive been struggling with this the whole of my life and now our climate is on the worst point, hope i dont go crazy lol

I’ve got a splitting headache due to climate change
I really feel sorry for her.
I’m going to mail the Labradorians a bag of ice.
You can’t have your glaciers and eat them too.
I remember when the UN used to be . . . naw, they were always a bunch of goons.
My master’s dissertation was about this lol!
Why bring kids into this world knowing they’ll have to deal with all of these difficulties within the environment.
