We've known the truth about climate change for decades now, writes CNN's jdsutter -- but the scale of our outrage in no way matches the magnitude of this disaster EarthDay

For years now, people like environmentalist and journalist Bill McKibben have been screaming from the treetops that we need a World War II-scale mobilization to fight the scourge of climate change.

They're right, of course. And on Earth Day -- that 24-hour sliver of the calendar when we talk about the fact that humans exist on, and because of, a living planet -- it's clear not only that we are losing this war but that we still are failing to recognize it's taking place at all. I mean, yes, I've met Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teen who is"schooling world leaders" on climate policy and who started a global school walkout movement.

jdsutter It is a must for humans to care about our earth, especially about the climate. The climate really important for us, so from now on, let us start a new action, we can start from small things like planting. Madam AndiniMku MJInter2018

jdsutter The former CEO of Greenpeace says claims about Global Warming being the result of airborne toxins and mass generation of CO2 by industry is largely promoted by academia which receives millions of $annually from Government endowments. He agrees warming is real, but also natural.

jdsutter Winter is coming🌁

jdsutter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

jdsutter Get rid of Republicans and save the world! LucCarriere2018

jdsutter People need to wake up. This is real.

jdsutter Interesting picture with the shade and all... the earth is not just heating due to negative energy. The volume of Earths energy will continue to increase. The density of this energy will continue to increase. Gravity will increase. Whats pulled in, is not strong enough to leave.

jdsutter What a crock of bullshit. Plant some trees 🌳.

jdsutter Fake news

jdsutter Climate change is a total farce. People that actually believe it is real need their heads examined. MAGA.

jdsutter The communication problem is the unending crying of wolf - unsupported information, deadlines that are unrealistic - I had a 'green US flag' when I was in High School in 1970s - world ending in 10 years. Quit lying, man isn't the whole problem, only a minor contributor.

jdsutter They can't even get the 'daily' four cast correct!

jdsutter Climatechange poses a threat to our survival, but the Trump government is gutting environmental regulations and subsidizing fossil fuels at the bidding of wealthy campaign donors

jdsutter

jdsutter We’re losing a pointless war on a make believe problem.

jdsutter Eco woke? Lmao

jdsutter Well the climate is changing as it does naturally. I just wish they would start preparing for it nationwide instead of just the members only club.

jdsutter EarthDay wish: more people waking up to our escalating ClimateEmergency & doing more to protect a livable planet. Time for us, adults, to be brave like GretaThunberg & the SchoolStrike4Climate kids & prioritize ClimateAction. We have it in us too.

jdsutter Remember all of those countries who criticized President Trump for leaving the Paris Climate Accords? China’s CO2 emissions: Increased France’s CO2 emissions: Increased Spain’s CO2 emissions: Increased Canada’s CO2 emissions: Increased USA’s CO2 emissions: Decreased

jdsutter It's almost like CNN conveniently ignored BorderCrisis and IllegalImmigration for months and still downplays it; and they're surprised when their convenience makes ppl not pay attn to other stories. Huh. Climate change is an issue, but nobody trusts you at this point.

jdsutter Absolute BS!

jdsutter The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is in control of the earth and no one can change that.

jdsutter This is as fake as you are CNN.... get with the real news and tell everybody that President Trump had no collusion or obstruction MAGA2020🇺🇸

jdsutter Climate change has never lost. Just ask the Neanderthals. Just ask the humans during the ice age.

jdsutter Hey gop called Al Gore boring on climate change. Not so boring 30 years later and proven correct. ExxonMobil knew 30 years ago, moved all the buisnesses off the coastline and hired fake scientist to deny climate change.The world is finite, simple calculus. World war Z, coming.

jdsutter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

jdsutter Sri Lanka just had over 200 killed

jdsutter The truth is it’s not man made!

So true “Earth Is Our Home” My salute to Earth Day Earthday2019

jdsutter Tell that to Greenland. Looks like we are going into an ice age. ⛄️

jdsutter

jdsutter Oh brother. There is no such thing as climate change other than the four seasons.

jdsutter

jdsutter You know how to reverse it, just say it, mass extinction of humans.

jdsutter this mentally deranged sick obsession to save the earth from imagined impending doom. Great! Ladies would love you afterwards

jdsutter Climate must change,laws of P/Earth,this is not technology,when do we understand ,we don't control nature, Would God intervene?No He control

jdsutter Climate change is sold by Liberals to scare voters. Liberals claim they can save us. CNN and their other whack stations broadcast this crap with false data to help Liberals. Liberals laugh their asses off as their get into their private jets and meet to solve 'climate change'.

jdsutter Cutting fake news to one hour per day would reduce emissions by 95%.

jdsutter Global warming/ climate change is a matter of scientific record! MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING is a matter of POLITICS without scientific facts. Concentrate on CLEAN AIR and WATER and do not try to kill our economy with unfounded theories for political purposes! A CONVENIENT TRUTH!

jdsutter Begging the question of whether climate change is real, there's absolutely no proof that anything we do now will significantly alter the effects of climate change. It's better to save our resources to mitigate real problems as they occur. Read more here: Copenhagen_CC

jdsutter There isn't a war, whatsoever. The Earth is facing important challenges, the most critical is the increase of population, worldwide. The more people the more energy they consume. In any case, the final solution is to adapt.

jdsutter 😂😂😂😂😂😂sink the swamp barge. It’s polluting the earth. 😂😂😂😂😂

jdsutter You are?

jdsutter We'll win if we 'change'. Let's just take action. Don't let these words be only words. We know what to do. We now have the choice to create a planet that we can all be proud of, the perfect home for ourselves & the rest of life on Earth EarthDay Ibu AndiniMku MJInter2018

jdsutter Political garbage, perpetuated by “scientists” taking huge grants. Ever wonder wonder how we went from entering a new ice age to global warming and now climate change? Because they don’t know! The climate is always changing, the man made charge is bs.

jdsutter What. Out of Trump/Russia news.

jdsutter It is a living planet. Stop lying to the people as they unfortunately trust your BS news.

jdsutter Reporter is a scientist

jdsutter 'Climate Change' and 'Global Warming' didn't exist until Al Gore was given a huge amount of $$$ to write a book about it.

jdsutter Insanity. CNN nor the Democrats can change the climate or weather or temperature or whatever nonsense.must be Harry Potter fans and think Democrats have magical powers.

jdsutter CNN is also losing the battle for ratings. Maybe You be gone before the environment.🙏

jdsutter This is your CURE for climate change: 2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

jdsutter goodboy

jdsutter so if you go from 4 billion to 10 BILLION PEOPLE ...it affects the earth?

jdsutter The dinosaurs must’ve not been outraged enough..

jdsutter Funny, could it be all the fake climate change drama all these years that has numbed everybody? You know, Al Gore promising that the polar ice caps would be melted by 2014? And many other fake predictions? Al and his gang only made millions with this farce...

jdsutter More fake news from the lying liberal media!

jdsutter We’re f’d

jdsutter Trump: what climate change? Seems nice & warm to me today....

jdsutter Why is there so much money to promote this narrative, year after year, over all other problems facing the planet?

jdsutter It doesnt take much to change look at the cherynobl area animals are growing and there are trees growing abundantly. Your militant views of climate change discourages people. We can still do all of the things that we do now and still have a sustainable future

jdsutter That's what happens when we do nothing

jdsutter Funny Joke CNN FridayforFuture

jdsutter So you guys gonna work on another hoax can't you report real news, not that anyone watches CNN anymore anyways 😱

jdsutter 😂😂😂

jdsutter 'It is as the CNN predicted. Long has it foreseen this doom.' Green Gandalf: 'Foreseen and done nothing!'

jdsutter Socialism is the answer! Just ask AOC! She knows everything about Climate Change!!!!

jdsutter What was the temperature 100 years ago?

jdsutter Climate change, or whatever you're calling it this week, is a hoax. No evidence.

jdsutter Ironic how the author mentions that the US is the largest contributor to greenhouse gasses, while completely ignoring the fact that the US is the one country who actually cut greenhouse gasses more than the Paris accord had called for. I don't know if US is top polluter now.

jdsutter MSM including CNN are complicit in our extinction by failing at journalism and instead embracing corporate state propaganda and ratings.

jdsutter Only the “human race” that is arrogant enough to think we can change natural evolution, what we are seeing is the world healing itself, that will force relocation and change- we want to have our cake and eat it, we make the change so that it fits into our mould😂😂.

jdsutter BS

jdsutter Another bogus article using scare tactics to try to promote the climate change narrative. Even the author admits they haven't been right with predictions before. Much of what is claimed in this article is false. That's why people don't take it seriously. I know it exists, but gee

jdsutter How about the war on immigration?

jdsutter Well since we're STUCK here on Earth, I s'pose we better make the best of it & try to laugh a bit more... Shh, we're not supposed to be laughing! 🙄

jdsutter FakeNews

jdsutter It also doesn't help that durable goods have a life expectancy of a few years.

jdsutter Hey, we’re banning plastic straws as fast as practicable. What more can we ask? Won’t that take careof the problem?

jdsutter

jdsutter It doesn't help that China built 10 new coal burning plants.

jdsutter The powers that be created this disater. The least they could is unfuck us and bring us back to a stable state. Whoever thought of CFCs was a real asshole. Summer is upon us and the ozone will close back up. No more harmful uvbs until winter. Clean energy. Clean healthy living.

jdsutter HORSE SHIT! Here is a member of the U.S. Congress Tom Massie that earned his Degree in Science at MIT taking on John Kerry at a hearing. Who would you trust more?

jdsutter Powerful article. EarthDay2019 VoteEarth

jdsutter Like you could fight climate change. Talk about a red herring. CNN you are a disgrace from what Ted Turner blazoned into the world. You are a whimper. And your ratings are falling, falling, falling.

jdsutter Climate change will change the numbers of two legged animals living on this planet.

jdsutter Too busy raging about political issues that have little real importance to focus on serious environmental issues. Besides, 90% of human activities causing climate change are in countries outside North America, which we cannot control, so outrage is wasted energy.

jdsutter Big companies won't change. As long as they get shareholders coin. Little hope for our world. It's full of GREED! HUMANS r PARASITES We think we own the world. We don't.

jdsutter We've known the climate changes for thousands of years. Dumbasses. That's what happens on planets

jdsutter The Lorax came out in the 60's....

jdsutter We got 12 years left 😂😂

jdsutter And FakeNews CNN is the expert in displaying 'outrage' especially with anything to do with their enemy the PresidentTrump

jdsutter

jdsutter The planet is fine....

jdsutter why changed global warming to climate change?

jdsutter We've? You speak for everyone now? LMAO!

jdsutter Ahahahahaha, fake news. Now is climate change? It was global warming other day. What’s happening. The answer: Lies, socialism , bullshit...

jdsutter Let's just accept defeat and move on.

jdsutter Climate change has been around since the beginning of time

jdsutter Still on track to all be dead in 12 yrs?

jdsutter Until CNN with $ of ivestors downspiral will continue. Downgrade to SELL is interference of Chinese. Muellerosity? Chinese spending so many billions that theft in trillions its like solidarity with 'developing' world. For Muellerosity not enough. But Masha easter EasterSunday

jdsutter We never lost ! The issue like many took no presidence.

jdsutter fauna breathe in oxygen, and exhale co2, flora breath co2 and exhale oxygen.If there are far more fauna than flora, plus more emissions from all our modern stuff then the world will fill with co2 as it has a higher density than oxygen.literally 4th grade science

jdsutter seasons

jdsutter Climate change is a natural fact. There were times in earth history, when earth was completely free if ice, long time before there was any human being. But since humans exist who were able to make fire, fossil energy and breath exhalation has polluted the air. We are too many.

jdsutter

jdsutter When will it be enough? You’ve already convinced climate loonies from having children. STOP INCITING ECO-TERRORISM

jdsutter The scale of your knowledge in no way matches the scale of your outrage.

jdsutter Outrage, like worry, does not solve anything; but most importantly there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE that any human effort can reverse, stop or even slow so called climate change.

jdsutter I’ve been told for 40 years the world is going to end every 10 years. Still here. Also that oil and gas would run out, but nope, not that either.

jdsutter Just a reason to tax us. Another democrat slush fund.

jdsutter True. The outrage should barely exist, if at all.

jdsutter My tribute to the Supreme predator on earthday

jdsutter

jdsutter Time to drop the nuke and put us out of our misery 👍

jdsutter Not we, it's you! Fake news. It's been there and done that. You can fake everything but nature. Get on with it. Nature didn't sign agreement like there'll be snow in December, for that matter, December is one of many made up theories of people. There's no such thing.

jdsutter

jdsutter It's a conspiracy fueled by money and control

jdsutter the lord and creator of the universe and world is in authority and control of the weather, he is the creator of it all all= its the Wrath Of God, = there is no such thing as global warming,= its Gods Wrath, because of ungodly constituents, leaders & media

jdsutter

jdsutter

jdsutter Good. A warmer climate is better.

jdsutter isaac_kaahwa

jdsutter CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX

jdsutter I'm confused! Are we past the tipping point? Is it 12 years? Gore said we would be underwater by now. Will China & India make the same changes needed to save the Earth? Will carbon taxes save the Earth? Can we do it with wind & solar? How much wind and solar do we need? 😞

jdsutter Metamorphosis - Jan Theuninck, 2018

jdsutter Where in The Hell Is Al Gore We should have LISTENED to him!!!

jdsutter Yeah right...it used to be called Global Warming until it was disproved as is climate change now. People can do their own research instead of following false narratives in main stream media....just like political issues also. FakeNews

jdsutter

jdsutter Of course. There is not enough awareness for the magnitude of this problem. WE. NEED. TO. ACT. Global leaders need to act. Governments need to take favourable decisions. what are we waiting for?

jdsutter I’m not denying anything, but the term “truth” is kind of muddied when you go from “new ice age” to “global warming” to “climate change” in a matter of a few decades
