Random fact: Squirrels will adopt other squirrels babies if they are abandoned.
@Tom Guadalupe we are saving all them for you to adopt.
Cool facts
50 years ago..
They warned us and we didn't listen
We warn kids that fire is hot, they still end up playing with it. 🤷🏽♂️ humans will be humans
Over 200 years ago the Native Americans told us to leave the land alone and nobody owned it. Our ancestors missed the forrest through the trees. :) Genius! Mankind is doomed! In 4 billion years none of it will exist anyway.
@John Days you cant blame me for the worlds problems. I already have enough going on In my life
50 years ago we were told the world would be over 20 years ago. Most of the world's pollution comes from India China and Africa. Shocking
@@Anthony-gq1wx three folks are pissing in the water cooler. So it doesn't matter if I piss in it as well.
news back then seemed like you were learning something. I mean he is teaching about greek prefixes and greek letters.
I loved that too.
Frank Reynolds was a legendary TV reporter
50 years ago today!!!!!
Well I'm celebrating earth day by not driving my car....or even leaving my house.....yay...
Hear what he said. Stay out of the water.
1970 “the great die off will kill 4 billion people between 1980 and 1989”. 2006 “ we only have 10 years to save the planet from becoming a total frying pan”. 2019 “ the world is going to end in 12 years”
2031: Well folks, despite our best efforts, It turns out the Earth is harder to kill than we thought.

And apparently so are we

@@gorgonheap 2056: Earth is still spinning but Humans are hiding in bunkers. What a great life.
Sadly, if watched at all, info like this is too often ignored in this age of greed and anti-science as we commit slow suicide.
amerika is bleeding common sense and intelligence. we have to import genius.
Right?! What happened to the news? The world has seriously gone insane.
I shall not fear because the lord is with me 🙏🏼 he is the only king and the only real ruler
Amen! 🙏🏿
We're in FAR WORSE shape than we've ever been, thanks to human greed!
Amazing how well spoken and blunt they were even 50 years ago. Dude just said, basically we're fucked because people don't listen.
WE HAVE TO WAKE-UP. WE CANT GO ON LIKE THIS.
Excellent, thanks for showing this amazing piece of brodcasting, and of recent history. Citizens were engaged and informed, the truth was being spoken, action was being taken. The backlash started soon after, and it was thorough.
The fact that nothing has changed regarding pollution since 1970 is extremely eye opening. People need to care more. I used to think “I’m just one person” out of billions on this earth so it wouldn’t make a difference wether I threw trash out of my car window or threw recyclable items in the trash instead of into the bin next to it. I was real immature and thought I was invincible. Now that I’m older, and especially after bringing a child into the world, I see things SO much differently. Everyone can make a change and every one person who decides to do the right thing makes a world of difference. ✌🏻🖤 🌎
I remember that day!!!! I was and still a, very concerned about the environment. Thank you for posting this history. ☮️💟
And were still here and will be for thousands of years
Happy Earth Day❤
I can't believe I was only five at this time! My has the world changed!
world is still the same lol
@@Tamara-hn2fp Except we've 14 y/o kids that fly by private jets and give speeches at UN how warm weather changed her entire life and stole her childhood 🤔
Nothing has changed, liberals are the new hippies.
I was 7 year's old. 50 year's ago, wow!
@@Tamara-hn2fp in some ways sure it is not. But I think they have gotten a better control of carbon emissions as well as not dumping right into the water table and oceans. But sure we are far from perfect....
I think this year, earth is having its best earth day.
Wow I'm 52 about to be 53 can you believe what's going time has really changed but as you see life still goes
1967...👍
Interesting and timely🌍🌎🌏
We are killing are Earth! Now with this pandemic, we knew can happen at the coming years! We need take seriously!
Great video . .
Happy Earth Day 🌏🌎🌍
It seems so long ago...
Wow...
HAPPY EARTH DAY, MY FRIENDS!!!🌏😃❤👋
me and my mom are celebrating earth day by staying at home and hiding out from the virus.
Thanks a lot
Happy Earth Day.
Yay!
Fun Fact: Congress shut down because all the politicians were at the demonstrations tripping all over themselves to have a chance to speak in the rare moment where the whole nation was giving their attention to one matter. It was very unexpected and no one had given much thought about it until this day happened. This extremely sudden large gathering of people was the result of the affluent times of the 70s for many Americans. Because of this people had a lot of time to spare and wanted to do something good so they joined up on Earth Day.
And now look at us. I am not proud to be a human being at all.. smh
Oh well. 😂 🤷♀️
History.
Outstanding but do you have Earth day 1979?
Great commentary by Howard K. Smith!
STAY SAFE 😘❤️🌏🌎🌍
Simple and easy to comprehend and process. Not like nowadays
nice
This is 50 year's ago. Wow! What exactly are you trying to convey?
They Call the Wind Maria wants her song back.
Amazinf to be able to see this again. Although people did not agree on everything, but agreed more lften that the earthe environment was in danger.
This guy at the end is talking about apalo 13 that happened when my mom was not even a year old yet.....I'm so confused about this old news...
So your saying earth is only 50 years old! what planet was my grandparents born?😕
Help mwweeee
Reduce fossil fuels! NOW!
No backtalk.
Yet here you are using electricity to virtue signal. Do you have any idea how large the carbon footprint is for a factory that makes the computer or phone you're using to virtue signal with? How much mining is done to make said computers or phones? If you really cared about the earth you end your self, but we know you won't, you just want to believe BS and then brag to other soy boys about how much you believe the BS du jour.
I have not seen a plane exhaust that much smoke other than the engines catching on fire.
I was 9 when this aired . Funny , I dont remember seeing Stephen Baldwin singing and playing guitar lol😁
MOTHER EARTH IS HAPPY 😆 FINALLY.

Trump planting a tree, a man that cares nothing about this environment, what a joke.

That's for any virus like a cold or flu or helps with them too but it wont cure anything
Thankfully a vast legal frame work was constructed to generally clean up the mess. Our air is cleaner, and our water safer, there are fewer people starving, and our food is safer. Unfortunately we have also put a lot more carbon in the atmosphere and that too MUST be addressed or all the previous gains will be for naught. But our ability to work together to improve the livability of our world, shows we do possess the ability to salve climate change too. Reading some of the comments it seems like many have fallen for the lie that we have not done anything and it is hopeless. They that profit from doom and gloom, and the status quo, want you to think that you have not accomplished a great deal.

Honestly i don't understand the problem. Just as how animals that over consume their prey and or the plants in a region and either move on or their population goes down as the environment normalizes, it's no big difference. While it does differ in scale with the whole planet or at least most of it is at stake, it doesn't change the fact the world will still be the world when we eventually die out on this planet. People worry over the environment changing not for the world's sake but our own, and that distracts us. Look at the Harrappan civilization they flourished in their region for approximately 1000 years and died out simply because everything dried up, what they didn't realize was the region was only verdant thanks to the process of change that started since the days it was marshy and wet to the now desert ocean. We have gotten used to our environment in our small several hundreds of years while environments take longer. Now we're at the cusp of those changes and we selfishly blame ourselves as if we're the problem and consider ourselves capable of changing it. But at what cost? Look at the sahara some environmentalists thought planting stuff would help the people but it ended up causing problems since it introduced foreign plants. Another is those many forest reservations, because we want it to stay pretty we limit the natural destruction due to dry weather and wildfires. So on and so forth. The world is always changing and instead messing with it to suit our needs we need to adapt alongside it. Easier to go with the flow of a river than to swim against it.
TRUMP, HIS CULT OF TRUMPZIS, AND THE REPUBLICAN /LIBERTARIAN PARTIES ARE ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE, OF THE WORLD!!!
Hello I
AND OUT OF WATER
i was 12 years old in Berkeley California for earth day it was a time but now it has gon to crap to much city crap get out of the city it is crap my home its over 100 miles to a stop light it a real life not city crap
...early first gaslighting media corporate attempts ...
Earth Day co-founder murdered, composted his girlfriend...
I'm not surprised. Since these activists like himself hate humans. He just died last month. Any coincidence that Earth Day was founded on that communist Lenin's birthday? Communism has murdered more people than anything else.
And the church of climatology was born.
New with a bi product .. can we learn? Will we learn? Peace brings a good start - can we go forth without War.. I hope 🐈

The Bible prophecies global warming and a new earth:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:10-13
Wow, climate activism was present in those times too? Really?
50 years of horseshit.......
WTF
Face mask in 1970?
H
Erath day oh hell naw no
second
Earth says "stop acting like pvzzies, everything is fine."
Technological advances has helped mitigate a lot of these protesters worry s. and will continue to make advances in our life time and years to come. Jet engines now make no noise, are very fuel efficient. And never made a sonic boom but over the water out of sight. Pollution much of it has been eliminated or reduced.
Disease
Gaia is sentient and is punishing us for our sins. We must repent immediately!
Also: darn those nutty religious people for not helping, they clearly believe in irrational beings that don't exist!
Irony on purpose.
???
USA! USA! USA! Lets go back to coal!
